In our recent roundup of some lesser-known facts about vaping, we discussed the fact that virtually all of the vapes on the market today are produced in just one city: Shenzhen, China. Considering the fact that almost all of the world’s electronic devices are made in Shenzhen, the idea of buying a USA-made vape might seem almost impossible today – and yet, we’ve managed to find one. Fifty Bar actually assembles their vapes right here in the United States, and their devices are filled with USA-made e-liquid. There probably isn’t another vape on the market with those qualifications, and that alone makes the Fifty Bar V2 a completely unique vape.
The flavor selection is another unique aspect of Fifty Bar vapes, and that’s because Fifty Bar is a product of the well-known vape juice brand Beard Vape Co. In fact, several of Beard Vape’s most popular flavors make appearances here, and that’s just one more reason why we believe that the vaping community is really going to go wild for the Fifty Bar V2.
In short, when we say that the Fifty Bar V2 is a one-of-a-kind product, we’re definitely not exaggerating – and now it’s time for you to begin your explorations of this great new vape. View the Fifty Bar V2 now or see our full collection of Fifty Bar vapes as you follow along with this review.
How Much Does the Fifty Bar V2 Cost?
The Fifty Bar V2 costs $12.49 at the time of writing and is available in 17 delicious flavors. As is the case with many disposable vapes, each flavor has its own coordinated color scheme. The Fifty Bar V2 is a very handsome device, and the design is completed by a small front-mounted display that shows you the current status of the battery and e-liquid supply.

Fifty Bar V2: Features
Made in the USA
Without a doubt, the biggest thing that makes the Fifty Bar V2 stand out is the fact that it’s filled and assembled right here in the United States. To our knowledge, that isn’t true of any other company making disposable vapes today. Although some electronic components are almost certainly sourced from overseas vendors, the Fifty Bar V2 is still a vape that can claim to be built in the USA – which is, in fact, printed boldly on the front of the box. According to Fifty Bar, the brand is responsible for over 150 American jobs in all.
You’re supporting American jobs anyway whenever you buy from a domestic vape shop. If the maker of the product happens to be domestic as well, though, that’s an opportunity for an even bigger win as long as the flavors are to your liking – and that’s what we’ll talk about next.
Unique Flavor Profiles from Beard Vape Co
In the introduction for this review, we mentioned the fact that the Fifty Bar V2 uses American-made e-liquid. That’s not rare in the world of bottled vape juice, but it’s not particularly common in disposable vapes. Many of the most popular vapes are made in China by Chinese brands, so they’re naturally going to use Chinese-made e-liquid as well.
If you’ve tried a lot of different disposable vapes, you know that the flavor profiles can sometimes be fairly similar from one brand to the next. That’s for two reasons.
- Some parent companies have multiple brands operating under them, and those brands may share flavors.
- There are a few very large vape juice manufacturers in China, and many disposable vape brands outsource their e-liquid production to those manufacturers.
Because of those factors, it’s not unusual to try disposable vapes from different brands and find that their flavors are basically identical. If you’re tired of the sameness, you’ll find the Fifty Bar brand to be a fresh air because their parent company – Beard Vape Co – is one of the biggest and most popular manufacturers of bottled vape juice. In fact, many of their most popular and enduring flavors are now available in disposable vapes for the first time thanks to Fifty Bar.
Dual-Coil Design with Permanent Boost Mode
The Fifty Bar V2 also has a unique technical feature that we haven’t seen in another disposable vape. Many modern disposable vapes have dual-coil designs and can use either one coil at a time or both coils simultaneously for double the vapor. When both coils are active, the vape is said to be using Pulse Mode, Turbo Mode or Boost Mode depending on the brand.
Unlike some other popular dual-coil vapes, the Fifty Bar handles its dual-coil configuration a little differently because Boost Mode is always active. In other words, it’s always using both coils and always produces the maximum amount of vapor that it’s capable of producing. If you’re the type of person who immediately throws your device into the maximum available power level as soon as you’ve taken it out of the box, you’ll probably love this feature because it greatly simplifies the device’s controls. There’s nothing to worry about except the airflow slider.
Fifty Bar vs. Fifty Bar V2: What’s the Difference?
You’ve undoubtedly noticed the “V2” in the name of this product, which means that the Fifty Bar V2 is the replacement for Beard Vape’s original Fifty Bar product. A great deal of thought and planning went into the development of the Fifty Bar V2, and the resulting device is better than the previous product in every way.
Here are the key ways in which the original Fifty Bar and Fifty Bar V2 differ.
- The Fifty Bar V2 has a greatly increased capacity of up to 20,000 puffs, whereas the capacity of the original Fifty Bar is up to 6,500 puffs.
- The Fifty Bar V2 has a smart display, and the original Fifty Bar doesn’t.
- The Fifty Bar V2 has a dual-coil configuration, and the original Fifty Bar has just one coil.
- The Fifty Bar V2 has a battery capacity of 800 mAh, while the capacity of the original Fifty Bar is just 400 mAh.
As you can see from the list above, the Fifty Bar V2 is a more capable vaping device in every way. The two devices have very similar flavor selections, though, and many of the same flavors are available for both devices. If your favorite Fifty Bar V2 flavor happens to be sold out, you can most likely find the same flavor in the original Fifty Bar selection.
What Are the Best Fifty Bar Flavors?
Although discussing every Fifty Bar flavor is beyond the scope of this article, you might find it helpful to have a few recommendations since this device’s flavor selection is so unique. Beard Vape Co is one of the most popular e-liquid brands for a reason, and the flavor quality of the Fifty Bar V2 is truly second to none. Here are a few of our favorite offerings. These three flavors do a perfect job of illustrating exactly what makes the Fifty Bar V2’s flavor selection so unique.
- Strawberry Cereal Donut Milk: Also sold in bottled form as “The One,” Strawberry Cereal Donut Milk is an attempt to take four of the most popular flavor notes in vaping – strawberry, cereal, doughnuts and milk/cream – and combine them all into a single vape juice. Instead of being a mess, the final product came out perfectly balanced and was an instant hit. Now, it’s finally available in a disposable vape.
- Milky Loops: This flavor gives you the experience of eating a tasty fruit cereal with plenty of milk poured on top.
- Cinnamon Funnel Cake: Here’s a flavor that’ll never fail to remind you of your favorite summer carnival experiences. Fried dough topped with plenty of cinnamon and sugar.
One of the more notable things about the range of Fifty Bar flavors is that Beard Vape Co doesn’t really do the “ice” thing that’s been so popular with other disposable vapes over the past couple of years. You can expect menthol when a flavor has “ice” in the name, of course, but the other flavors typically play it straight and have no added coolants. You will definitely be a fan of the Fifty Bar V2 if menthol vapes aren’t really your thing.
