19 Aug 2024 --- Counterfeit vapes have been rampant in South Africa for some time, and Elfbar, among other major vaping product brands, has fallen victim to this. Around 3,600 fake and substandard vapes were seized in a recent operation led by national enforcement authorities in tandem with the brand. A raid operation in July, conducted under a search warrant, took place in Johannesburg and Cape Town. In both cities, Elfbar issued warning letters to over 15 stores, of which 13 have signed a commitment document to cease sales of infringing products.
