Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Device - Best Colour is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Device
Rechargeable, reusable, and small enough to disappear into a coat pocket. The Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K is the device half of Al Fakher's prefilled pod system, built to run through prefilled pods for up to 12,000 puffs per pod cycle.
A 900mAh internal battery, USB-C charging, an MTL draw, LED indicators for battery and liquid level, and a clean shell in eleven colour options. Pods are sold separately, which keeps the device price low and the flavour choice yours. A sensible entry point into the wider Prefilled Pod Kits space at Pirate Vapes.
Why vapers choose this device:
-
Twelve thousand puffs per pod cycle. Rated by the manufacturer with the matching Al Fakher pod fitted, which puts a fresh pod at roughly two to three weeks of daily use.
-
Two LED gauges. Battery and pod fluid level shown separately. Less guesswork, fewer surprise flat batteries.
-
USB-C rechargeable. The whole point of buying the device once and cycling pods through it. A 900mAh cell holds up for a full day on Turbo-style pulls, longer on gentler draws.
-
Autofill mechanism, sealed pod system, leak-resistant chassis. Designed to sit in a pocket without staining a lining.
-
Eleven colours to choose from. Genuinely useful when two people in one household own the same device.
Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Device Features
A Device That Outlasts Its Pods
Most big-puff hardware comes as a sealed unit. Once the liquid runs dry, everything gets binned. The Crown Bar Pro Max flips that. The device is the reusable half; the pod is the consumable. Buy the device once, cycle Al Fakher prefilled pods through it, and the running cost drops each time you reorder. That is the whole appeal. It sits somewhere between a disposable and a full Refillable Pod Kit, leaning towards the second.
900mAh Charged Over USB-C
Not the biggest battery in the category, but the pod system is efficient enough that 900mAh covers a full day for most vapers. USB-C charges quicker than the micro-USB that still lingers on some cheaper devices, and the connector doesn't flip on you in the dark. If you're running the device hard, top it up in twenty-odd minutes over lunch, and you're set for the evening.
Two LEDs That Actually Tell You Something Useful
One LED shows the battery level as it depletes. The other tracks pod liquid level as the pod runs down. Genuinely underrated on a device this size. Most bar-style hardware has a single indicator that flashes when something is wrong and gives no warning, so you find out you're empty at the worst possible moment. The Crown Bar Pro Max shows you both statuses at a glance.
Autofill and Leak-Resistant Design
The autofill mechanism in the compatible Al Fakher prefilled pods clicks into the device without any manual liquid handling. The sealed chassis then keeps the pod firmly in place. Combined with the leak-resistant construction on the device housing, the whole system holds up to being tossed into a bag, sat on, and forgotten about for an afternoon. Practically, it means fewer stained trouser pockets.
A Format Built for MTL, Not Cloud Chasing
The 1.0Ω mesh coil housed inside the compatible pod is tuned for a mouth-to-lung draw. That is the tighter, cigarette-style pull that ex-smokers gravitate toward. Not a cloud machine, not meant to be. If you're switching from disposables and the throat feel of a proper MTL device is what you want back, this is the right ballpark. Compare it against alternatives in MTL Vape Kits before you commit.

How to Set Up the Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Device
Under a minute if you already have your pod ready.
-
Charge the device fully over USB-C before first use. The battery LED shows a solid indicator when it hits 100%.
-
Peel any protective film from the device and inspect both LEDs for a clear read.
-
Take an Al Fakher Pro Max 12K prefilled pod and remove the silicone plug from the base contacts.
-
Click the pod into the top of the device. The autofill mechanism engages automatically. You should feel a solid seat.
-
Stand the device upright for seven minutes so the pod cotton around the 1.0Ω mesh coil saturates fully before you draw. Fire the device dry at this stage and the coil scorches.
-
Take two soft draws to check activation, then vape normally.
What's in the Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Device Box
One Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K device in your chosen colour and a USB-C charging cable. That's it. No pod is included. No e-liquid, no lanyard, no spare parts. The pods are ordered separately and can be paired in whatever flavour you like from Al Fakher's prefilled range. Order pods and device together to skip a second delivery wait.
Made for the Al Fakher Pro Max 12K Prefilled Pod Range
The device accepts one pod family: the Al Fakher Pro Max 12K prefilled pod. Each pod carries its own 1.0Ω mesh coil, its own e-liquid at UK-legal 20mg nicotine strength and 2ml capacity, and clicks straight in via the autofill port. Not backwards-compatible with older Al Fakher disposables or the Crown Bar disposable line. Not cross-compatible with Elfa, IVG 2400, Lost Mary Nera pods or any other bar-style prefilled system.
If the pod range is not something you plan to stay inside long-term, the wider Vape Kits collection at Pirate Vapes has device families with broader pod ecosystems.
About Al Fakher
Al Fakher is best known internationally for shisha tobacco, and the brand carries a level of category recognition that most bar-style vape newcomers do not. Their entry into the UK pod-vape market has focused on prefilled devices with substantial puff counts, the Crown Bar line included.
The Pro Max 12K sits at the accessible end of that range, built around a straightforward reusable device plus swappable pod format that keeps the running cost predictable. Full stock of the wider Al Fakher range is refreshed regularly.
Stock Up and Save
The device is only half the setup. Adding a couple of pods to the same order gets you started immediately and drops the cost per delivery.
Every order from Pirate Vapes ships in rechargeable-safe padded packaging so the shell arrives unmarked. Same-day dispatch before 4 pm, age-verified checkout, over-18s only, TPD-compliant stock. Free Pirate Post lands on orders over £25.
Conclusion
A reusable device that runs Al Fakher's own pod ecosystem for up to 12,000 puffs per pod cycle, charged over USB-C, priced as a starter and built to last. Dual LEDs for battery and juice, eleven colours, and a leak-resistant chassis.
Sensible pick for anyone stepping off disposables who wants something familiar in the hand but longer-lasting on the bill. Pair it with the 10,000-Puff Class Devices if you want a direct comparison, or head straight to Pirate Vapes to add matching pods.
FAQs
Does the Crown Bar Pro Max 12K come with a pod?
No. Device only. Al Fakher Pro Max 12K prefilled pods are sold separately and are the only pods compatible with this device.
How long does the 900mAh battery last?
Roughly a full day on regular MTL vaping. Heavier use runs it down faster. USB-C charging tops it up in under an hour.
What nicotine strength do the pods use?
The compatible pods are 20mg nicotine salt, which is the UK legal maximum. Every pod is TPD compliant at 2ml.
Can I use pods from other brands with this device?
Not officially. The autofill port is proprietary to the Al Fakher Pro Max 12K pod range. Other pod formats won't seat correctly.
How many puffs will I actually get from one pod?
Manufacturer rating is 12,000 puffs per pod. Real-world numbers vary with draw length and airflow, but two to three weeks of daily use is a fair estimate.
Is the device refillable?
Not directly. You refill by swapping in a fresh Al Fakher prefilled pod when the current one runs dry.
