Prime a new pod with \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 3 drops of e-liquid\u003c\/strong\u003e on the wick, refill before the pod hits empty, and rest a fresh fill for 5 minutes so the cotton saturates.

Reseat the pod on the Mate 500 base, take \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 3 short primer puffs\u003c\/strong\u003e to break any air lock, and charge the device fully.

Draw \u003cstrong\u003e2 slow primer puffs\u003c\/strong\u003e without pressing the fire behaviour, hold the pod upright between puffs, and reduce priming drops to 2. Switching from a 70\/30 shortfill to a \u003cstrong\u003e50\/50 nic salt\u003c\/strong\u003e clears most spitting for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the flavour weak on my Elf Bar Mate 500 vape pods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavour fades on Elf Bar Mate 500 Vape Pods when the mesh coil approaches end of life, when the same flavour has been refilled several times, or when a \u003cstrong\u003elow-VG mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e thins the profile. Rotate to a fresh pod from the 3-pack, dedicate one pod per flavour, and keep e-liquid at \u003cstrong\u003e50\/50 or 50% VG\u003c\/strong\u003e for the strongest taste on the \u003cstrong\u003e1.2 ohm coil\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long should I prime an Elf Bar Mate 500 refillable pod before vaping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest a freshly filled Elf Bar Mate 500 Refillable Pod for 5 minutes before the first draw so the wick fully saturates.

The Elf Bar Mate 500 Refillable Pods ship empty in a 3-pack, each holding 2ml of user-chosen e-liquid through a silicone-stoppered side-fill port. They differ from the Elf Bar P1 Prefilled Pods, which arrive filled and are not designed for topping up.

The \u003cstrong\u003e1.2 ohm mesh coil\u003c\/strong\u003e is tuned for MTL, so nic salts and 50\/50 freebase juices deliver the cleanest flavour and the tightest draw. High-VG 70\/30 shortfills sit outside the safe range and will flood the wick, so keep them off this coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Elf Bar Mate 500 pods flavours are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElf Bar Mate 500 Pods flavours depend on the e-liquid the vaper chooses, because the refill pack ships empty.
