What are the strongest nicotine pouches in Ireland?

OB Vape is Ireland’s number one store for high-strength nicotine pouches. We stock popular brands like PABLO (50mg), ICEBERG (50mg), and Greatest Cold Dry. These pouches are 100% tobacco-free and perfect for discreet, smoke-free nicotine.

What nicotine strength should I choose when switching from disposables?

Most disposable vapes in Ireland contain 20mg nicotine salts, which is equivalent to strong 10ml nic salt e-liquids. If you’re switching to a refillable kit, choose a 10mg or 20mg nic salt for a similar hit. You’ll save money and get more flavour.

Troubleshooting Your Elf Bar AF5000: What to Do If It’s Not Working

The Elf Bar AF5000 is a smart disposable-style vape—but because it uses a refill container system, issues are usually related to setup rather than faults.

If your device isn’t working, here’s how to fix it step by step.

Important: If your device is leaking heavily or physically damaged, stop using it immediately.

Quick Answer: Most AF5000 issues come from the refill container not being installed correctly, low battery, or airflow blockage.

Shop Elf Bar AF5000

1. Check the Refill Container

This is the most common issue with the AF5000.

Ensure the container is fully inserted
Push until it clicks into place

If it’s not connected properly, the device won’t produce vapour.

2. Let the Device Prime

If you’ve just installed the container:

Wait a few minutes before vaping
Allow the coil to absorb e-liquid

This prevents dry hits and no vapour.

3. Check the Battery

If there’s no vapour:

Charge the device fully
Try again after charging

4. Remove All Seals and Plugs

New devices often have protective covers.

Check mouthpiece and airflow
Remove any stickers or rubber seals

5. Check Airflow

Blocked airflow can stop draw activation.

Ensure airflow holes are clear
Don’t cover them while vaping

6. Weak Vapour?

Battery may be low
Device may be running out of e-liquid

7. Device Still Not Working?

If you’ve tried everything:

The unit may be faulty
Replace the device

How to Prevent Issues

Always install the refill container correctly
Store upright
Avoid extreme temperatures
