Unless you've been living under a rock or are new to the vaping world, you'll likely recognize that Elf Bar has seemingly dropped out of existence. However, they've simply had a change of name.
Why is that you ask? The company behind Elf Bar, Shenzhen iMiracle Technology Co. Ltd. was recently sued by VPR brands after they had claimed to have the copyrights for the 'Elf' brand for vaping products in the US.
As a result of this, they have had to change their name and rebrand to EB Design. If you're based outside of the US, you'll still find the Elf Bar name as Shenzhen owns the copyright for it. It's just the US that will no longer see the Elf Bar advertised in its original packaging.
In this guide, we'll dive deeper into both to see if they're the same or if they're different in any way beyond just the name change. Just because Elf Bar changed its name, does that mean everything has changed with it? Let's find out.
Are Elf Bar and EB Design vapes the same?
Elf Bar and EB Design are the same, however, EB Design is due to the rebranding efforts needed to avoid further legal trouble. While the packaging may be slightly different when it comes to the design, this popular disposable vape brand remains the same in quality and flavor profiles.
Many consumers may be confused if they're only seeing this for the first time and don't know about the trademark lawsuit. Elf Bar’s name rebranded doesn't take away from the quality and flavors that Elf Bar typically provides its customers.
What is EB Design? The new name change essentially takes the E and B from Elf Bar to create a new branding that is as close to the original as possible. This new name was perhaps picked to help avoid losing those loyal customers who are used to seeing the Elf Bar name on the packaging.
