A comprehensive guide to Al Fakher Vapes in Europe: regulations, products, and purchasing advice
Published on 18 November 2025 by David
Al Fakher, a name that has been synonymous with high-quality shisha tobacco for decades, has significantly influenced the vaping world with its Crown Bar series. The company is transferring its reputation for exceptional flavour experiences and premium quality to the disposable e-cigarette market. Models such as the Al Fakher Crown Bar Big Cloud 8000 PRO have caused an international stir. For consumers and wholesalers in Germany and the entire European Union, it is crucial to familiarize themselves with the applicable local regulations before purchasing Al Fakher products. This guide provides a detailed insight into the Al Fakher product range, the legal framework in the EU, and how wholesalers can safely obtain compliant goods.
Important note: Legal regulations for vapes in the EU (TPD)
In the European Union, including Germany, e-cigarettes and e-liquids are subject to the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). These regulations serve to protect consumers and public health. The key points are:
- Maximum nicotine strength: E-liquids may not exceed a nicotine concentration of 20 mg/ml (2%).
- Maximum filling capacity: Disposable e-cigarettes and tanks must not contain more than 2ml of e-liquid.
- Notification requirements and warning labels: All products must be notified to the national authorities and bear mandatory health warnings.
This means: Models such as the Al Fakher Crown Bar 8000, 12000 or 15000, which are advertised with 18 ml to 22 ml of e-liquid and 5% (50 mg/ml) nicotine, are not approved for sale to consumers in the EU. The purchase and sale of such products contravenes current law.
Health and Safety Precautions
Vaping products are not risk-free. Please note the following information:
- Nicotine addiction: This product contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance. It is not recommended for non-smokers.
- Age restriction: The sale and use of e-cigarettes is only permitted for persons aged 18 and above in Germany and most EU countries.
- Health risks: The vapour from e-cigarettes can contain substances that are a concern for health. Little is known about the long-term health effects. When the liquids are heated, potentially carcinogenic substances such as formaldehyde can be produced.
- Environmental aspect: Disposable vapes pose a significant environmental burden due to their battery and plastic components. Dispose of them properly and consider rechargeable systems as a more environmentally friendly alternative.
The Al Fakher Crown Bar Series: A Closer Look
Although the large-volume models are not roadworthy in Europe, it is useful to understand the technology that has made them so popular internationally. This knowledge helps to assess the quality of the brand when TPD-compliant versions become available.
Technology and Design: What's behind it?
- Mesh Coil Technology: Al Fakher Vapes use mesh coils. Unlike traditional coils, a mesh wire grid offers a larger heating surface area. This results in a more even vaporisation of the e-liquid, ensuring a more intense and consistent flavour from start to finish.
- Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Vaping: The international models are designed for direct-to-lung inhalation, which is similar to inhaling from a traditional hookah. This produces large, dense clouds of vapour and is popular among experienced vapers who prefer an open inhalation style.
- Rechargeable batteries: A feature of the larger models is the rechargeable battery (usually via USB-C), which ensures that the entire e-liquid quantity can be used up before the device is disposed of.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why can I not the Al Fakher Crown Bar 8000 Not available for purchase in Germany?
The Al Fakher Crown Bar 8000 contains 18ml of e-liquid and a nicotine strength of 50mg/ml (5%). Both exceed the EU legal limits of 2ml and 20mg/ml (2%) considerably. Its sale to consumers is therefore illegal.
What does "TPD-compliant" mean?
“TPD-compliant” means that a vaping product meets the requirements of the EU Tobacco Products Directive. For disposable vapes, the key criteria are: maximum 2ml filling volume and maximum 20mg/ml nicotine content.
Are 600 strokes with a 2-ml device realistic?
Yes, the specification "up to 600 puffs" is an industry standard for 2ml disposable devices. The actual number strongly depends on individual puffing behaviour (length and intensity of puffs). For most users, this is a realistic guideline for the device's lifespan.
4. How can I as a dealer ensure that I buy legal products?
Buy exclusively from established wholesalers like Alfakherwelt.de, who specialise in the European market. Always check the product specifications (2 ml / 20 mg/ml) and request a declaration of conformity. Avoid offers for products with unrealistically high yields, as these certainly do not comply with EU regulations.
