The Elf Bar BC5000 created the 5000-puff disposable category and remains a solid budget pick in 2026 with 50+ flavors, a reliable 650mAh battery, and 13mL capacity at $13-$16. But with newer devices like the Lost Mary MT15000 Turbo offering triple the puffs and dual-mode features, the BC5000 is no longer the top performer — it is the best value pick for flavor-variety seekers on a budget.
