Crown Bar Al Fakher Range Compared: All 8 Models From 8000 to 60000 Puffs, Which One to Buy in Dubai

The Crown Bar range from Al Fakher, the UAE-based shisha brand, runs from an 8,000-puff, 40 AED disposable to a 60,000-puff, 60 AED hookah-style device, and every model sold on vapsshop.ae sits at 5–6mg/ml nicotine. That makes the choice about puff count, draw style and price per puff rather than strength. Our verdict: the Ultra 25000 is the best all-round buy, the E Hose X 60000 is the cheapest per puff by a wide margin, and the 8000 remains the right pick only if you want the widest flavour list in a pocket-sized device.

Last tested/updated: 3 September 2026. Every price, puff count and spec below was checked against the live vapsshop.ae product pages on that date; out-of-stock models (the 15000 Adjustable Ice and the Crystal 9000) are left out. This guide is for adults aged 18+ only.

The range at a glance

Eight Crown Bar models are in stock on vapsshop.ae, and the table below is the whole decision in one place: price, rated puffs, nicotine, tank, battery, draw style and what each costs per 1,000 rated puffs. Every figure comes from the live product page; the cost-per-puff column is our own calculation.

Model	Price	Rated puffs	Nicotine	E-liquid	Battery	Draw	Screen	Flavours listed	AED per 1,000 puffs
Crown Bar 8000	40 AED	8,000	0.5% (5mg/ml)	18ml	800mAh, Type-C	Triple mesh 0.6Ω	No	33	5.00
Crown Bar Pro 8000 Dual Mode	40 AED	8,000	0.5% (5mg/ml)	Not published	800mAh, Type-C	Dual mode	No	14	5.00
Crown Bar 12000 Hookah Sound	40 AED	12,000	0.5% (5mg/ml)	Not published	Rechargeable, USB-C	DTL, 0.6Ω mesh	Yes	19	3.33
Crown Bar Crystal V2 12000	45 AED (400 per 10)	12,000	6mg/ml (0.6%)	18ml	850mAh, USB-C	DTL, adjustable airflow	Yes	14	3.75
Crown Bar Hypermax 15000	49 AED	15,000	0.6% (6mg/ml)	22ml	Rechargeable, Type-C	DTL, mesh	Yes	25	3.27
Crown Bar Ultra 25000	49 AED	25,000	5mg/ml	22ml	300mAh, Type-C	MTL/DTL dual mode, 0.6Ω mesh	Yes	21	1.96
Crown Bar V2.0 Mega Max 40000	49 AED	40,000+	6mg/ml (0.6%)	Not published	Rechargeable, Type-C	DTL, wide bore	Yes	19	1.23
Crown Bar E Hose X 60000	60 AED	~60,000	6mg/ml (0.6%)	50ml	High-capacity, USB-C	MTL/DTL dual mode	Yes	10	1.00

Where a listing does not publish a figure (battery capacity on some models, e-liquid on others), the table says so rather than guessing. Puff counts are manufacturer ratings based on short machine puffs; real counts are lower and depend on draw length.

How to read the nicotine labels

Every in-stock Crown Bar is a low-nicotine device at 5–6mg/ml, even though the listings write it three ways: “0.5MG”, “5mg” and “6mg/ml (0.6%)”. They mean the same band. “0.5” and “0.6” are percentages (0.5% = 5mg/ml, 0.6% = 6mg/ml), not milligrams, and the difference between 5 and 6mg/ml is too small to feel.

This matters because the earlier version of this guide treated “0.5mg” and “5mg” as a weak and a strong option. They aren’t. Al Fakher builds the Crown Bar line for a shisha-style draw, and shisha-style devices use low nicotine because a long, open pull delivers more vapor per puff than a tight cigarette-style draw; a 20mg/ml liquid would be harsh on that draw. If you want a 20mg/ml device, the Crown Bar range is not where to look, and none of the models below will give you a strong throat hit.

All eight sit far below the 20mg/ml maximum in the UAE standard, which we cover in the UAE notes.

Crown Bar 8000

The Crown Bar Al Fakher 8000 is the original: 40 AED, 8,000 rated puffs, an 18ml tank, an 800mAh Type-C battery and a 0.6Ω triple mesh coil, at 0.5% (5mg/ml). It has the widest flavour list in the range at 33 and no screen.

The triple mesh coil is the reason it still sells. Three mesh strips heat a wider surface than one, which gives a denser vapor at the low power a disposable runs, and it keeps flavour even across the 18ml tank. The 800mAh cell is generous for 8,000 puffs, so recharging is occasional rather than daily.

The 8000 fits someone who wants a pocket-sized device, a specific flavour (33 to choose from, including Berry Blue, Mango Pineapple and Watermelon Kiwi), and doesn’t mind paying 5 AED per 1,000 puffs for the privilege. It is the most expensive Crown Bar per puff. Our full Crown Bar Al Fakher 8000 review covers it in depth.

Crown Bar Pro 8000 Dual Mode

The Crown Bar Al Fakher Pro 8000 Dual Mode is the same price, puff count, battery and nicotine as the 8000, with a dual-mode switch and a shorter 14-flavour list. The listing does not publish its tank size.

Dual mode means the device can run at two power levels: a lower one for a cooler, longer-lasting vape and a higher one for a warmer, denser hit. On an 800mAh cell that is a real trade: the high mode drains faster. It is the only difference that matters between the two 8000s, so choose the Pro if you want that switch and the base 8000 if you want the longer flavour list. Our Crown Bar Al Fakher Pro 8000 review goes into the two modes in detail.

Crown Bar 12000 Hookah Sound

The Crown Bar Al Fakher 12000 is 40 AED for 12,000 rated puffs, a direct-lung 0.6Ω mesh coil, a screen for battery and liquid, USB-C charging and an integrated hookah sound feature, at 0.5% (5mg/ml). At the same price as the 8000 it costs a third less per puff.

The hookah sound is a gimmick you’ll either enjoy or switch off mentally, but the draw underneath it is the point: the 12000 is tuned for a loose, open pull that feels closer to a hookah than the tighter 8000s. That, plus the screen, makes it the better 40 AED device for anyone who vapes at home or in a lounge rather than on the move. The 19-flavour list includes lounge staples like Grape Mint and Lemon Mint alongside Blue Razz Lemonade and Hubba. Our Crown Bar Al Fakher 12000 review covers the draw in detail.

Crown Bar Crystal V2 12000

The Crown Bar Crystal V2 12000 is the newest 12,000-puff model: 45 AED (400 AED for a box of 10), 18ml of 6mg/ml salt nicotine, an 850mAh USB-C battery, adjustable airflow, a screen and a direct-lung draw, in 14 flavours.

What separates it from the 12000 Hookah Sound is the adjustable airflow and the published specs. Airflow control lets you close the draw down from wide open to something more restricted, which the other 12,000-puff model can’t do, and the listing gives a tank size and battery capacity that the older model doesn’t. You pay 5 AED more for that, and 3.75 AED per 1,000 puffs against 3.33. The box price of 40 AED per device closes most of that gap if you buy ten. There is no standalone review of the Crystal V2 on vapsshop.ae yet; the product page carries its full spec.

Crown Bar Hypermax 15000

The Crown Bar Hypermax 15000 is 49 AED for 15,000 rated puffs, a 22ml tank, a mesh coil, a screen, Type-C charging and a direct-lung draw at 0.6% (6mg/ml), with 25 flavours.

The 22ml tank is the same size as the Ultra 25000’s, which tells you something: the Hypermax and the Ultra share a body class, and the puff-count difference between them comes from how the coil and airflow are tuned rather than from more liquid. The Hypermax is tuned for a fuller, more open direct-lung draw, which uses more liquid per puff and lands it at 15,000. It is the right pick if you want the biggest vapor in the mid-range and the second-widest flavour list. Our Crown Bar Hypermax 15000 review covers it in depth.

Crown Bar Ultra 25000

The Crown Bar Al Fakher Ultra 25000 is 49 AED for 25,000 rated puffs, a 22ml tank, a 0.6Ω mesh coil, MTL/DTL dual mode, a screen for battery and liquid, Type-C charging and a 300mAh battery, at 5mg/ml, in 21 flavours.

The Ultra is the model we’d point most buyers to, for two reasons. First, it is the only Crown Bar below the E Hose X that offers a real mouth-to-lung mode as well as direct-lung, so it suits people who haven’t decided which draw they prefer. Second, at 1.96 AED per 1,000 puffs it costs the same as the Hypermax but lasts two-thirds longer. The 300mAh battery is the catch: it is small for a 25,000-puff device, and you will charge it often. That is the price of the slim body. Our Crown Bar Al Fakher Ultra 25000 review covers the battery question in detail.

Crown Bar V2.0 Mega Max 40000

The Crown Bar V2.0 Mega Max 40000 is 49 AED for 40,000-plus rated puffs, a wide-bore direct-lung airflow, a mesh coil, a leather-textured grip, an LED screen and Type-C charging, at 6mg/ml, in 19 flavours. The listing does not publish tank or battery capacity.

At the same 49 AED as the Ultra and Hypermax, the Mega Max costs 1.23 AED per 1,000 puffs, which is the second-cheapest in the range. What you give up is the Ultra’s MTL mode: the Mega Max is a wide-bore direct-lung device only, built for big, cool vapor. It is the pick for a committed direct-lung vaper who wants the longest life at 49 AED. There is no standalone review yet; the product page carries the flavour list.

Crown Bar E Hose X 60000

The Crown Bar Al Fakher E Hose X 60000 is 60 AED for roughly 60,000 rated puffs, a 50ml tank, MTL/DTL dual mode, a smart screen, a high-capacity USB-C battery and a shisha-inspired body, at 6mg/ml, in 10 flavours.

The E Hose X is a different kind of object: a hookah-shaped device meant to sit on a table rather than in a pocket, with a 50ml tank that is nearly three times the Ultra’s. At 1.00 AED per 1,000 puffs it is the cheapest Crown Bar per puff by a clear margin, and its dual mode covers both draws. The trade is portability and choice: it is the least pocketable device in the range and has the shortest flavour list, though that list is the most hookah-classic (Two Apple, Grape Mint, Lemon Mint, Gum Mint). Our Crown Bar E Hose X 60000 review covers it in depth.

Cost per 1,000 puffs, ranked

Ranked by price divided by rated puffs, the Crown Bar range splits into three tiers: the E Hose X 60000 and Mega Max 40000 at about 1 AED per 1,000; the Ultra 25000 at about 2 AED; and the four smaller devices at 3.3–5 AED.

1. E Hose X 60000: 1.00 AED per 1,000 puffs (60 AED)
2. V2.0 Mega Max 40000: 1.23 AED (49 AED)
3. Ultra 25000: 1.96 AED (49 AED)
4. Hypermax 15000: 3.27 AED (49 AED)
5. 12000 Hookah Sound: 3.33 AED (40 AED)
6. Crystal V2 12000: 3.75 AED (45 AED; 3.33 AED at the box price)
7. 8000 and Pro 8000: 5.00 AED (40 AED)

The mechanism is simple: within a brand, the sticker price rises slowly while the puff count rises fast, so larger devices are cheaper to run. The counter-argument is just as simple: a 60,000-puff device is a commitment to one flavour for weeks, and a device you abandon half-full costs more per puff than the table suggests. Buy the largest device you’ll actually finish.

Which Crown Bar for which vaper

Pick by draw style and how long you want the device to last, since nicotine is the same across the range.

You want the widest flavour choice in a pocket device: Crown Bar 8000 (33 flavours, 40 AED).

You want a two-power-level switch in a small device: Crown Bar Pro 8000 Dual Mode (40 AED).

You want a hookah-style draw and a screen for 40 AED: Crown Bar 12000 Hookah Sound.

You want adjustable airflow and published specs at 12,000 puffs: Crown Bar Crystal V2 12000 (45 AED, or 40 AED each by the box).

You want the biggest direct-lung vapor in the mid-range: Crown Bar Hypermax 15000 (49 AED).

You haven’t decided between MTL and DTL, and you want the best value in a pocketable body: Crown Bar Ultra 25000 (49 AED).

You’re a committed direct-lung vaper who wants the longest life at 49 AED: Crown Bar V2.0 Mega Max 40000.

You vape at home or in a lounge and want the cheapest puffs and a hookah form: Crown Bar E Hose X 60000 (60 AED).

You want a strong 20mg/ml hit: none of these; the Crown Bar range is a 5–6mg/ml line. See the full Al Fakher range for the brand’s other products, or a pod-style disposable from another brand.

UAE-specific notes

Two rules shape disposable vapes in the UAE: nicotine concentration is capped at 20mg/ml under the MOIAT standard UAE.S 5030:2018, and nicotine products may only be sold to adults aged 18 and over under Federal Law No. 15 of 2009.

Nicotine cap. Every in-stock Crown Bar is 5–6mg/ml, far below the 20mg/ml limit set in MOIAT’s mandatory regulation for electronic nicotine products (UAE.S 5030:2018). The Crystal V2 listing also notes ECAS/MoIAT certification. The one Crown Bar that isn’t low-nicotine, the Crystal 9000 at 20mg/ml, is out of stock and not covered here.

Age restriction. These products are for adults aged 18 and over. Federal Law No. 15 of 2009 on Tobacco Control prohibits selling tobacco and nicotine products to anyone under 18, and vapsshop.ae verifies age at checkout. Vaping is not risk-free and this guide makes no health claims about it.

Heat and storage. The larger Crown Bars hold 22–50ml of e-liquid, and in a car in a Dubai summer, where interiors pass 60°C, that liquid thins and can push past the coil into the mouthpiece. Keep any Crown Bar out of direct sun, store it upright, and never charge it in a hot vehicle. The E Hose X, with its 50ml tank, is the one to be most careful with.

Delivery. vapsshop.ae delivers every Crown Bar model to all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Dubai orders, including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JBR, Deira, Bur Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah and Al Barsha, usually arrive within about two hours; other emirates typically within 24 hours. Cash on delivery is available, and card payment is accepted for Dubai deliveries.

What other comparisons leave out

Most Crown Bar comparisons list puff counts and stop. What a Dubai buyer needs is the nicotine-label explanation above, the cost-per-puff ranking, an honest word on batteries, and which models share a body.

Batteries don’t scale with puffs. The 8000 carries 800mAh for 8,000 puffs; the Ultra carries 300mAh for 25,000. Larger Crown Bars rely on recharging several times across the tank, so a screen matters more the bigger the device. Every model from the 12000 up has one.

Shared bodies. The Hypermax 15000 and Ultra 25000 both carry 22ml; the difference is coil and airflow tuning, not tank size. The 8000 and Crystal V2 both carry 18ml with similar batteries; the Crystal V2 adds airflow control and a screen for 5 AED more.

Flavour lists shrink as devices grow. 33 flavours on the 8000, 10 on the E Hose X. If a specific flavour matters more than price per puff, check the smaller devices first.

Box pricing. The Crystal V2 lists a box of 10 at 400 AED (40 AED each). Where a box price exists, it usually closes the per-puff gap with the next model up.

FAQ

Verdict

The Crown Bar range is one nicotine band spread across eight sizes, so the decision is about draw and duration. For most Dubai buyers the Ultra 25000 is the answer: MTL/DTL dual mode, a screen, 22ml, and 1.96 AED per 1,000 puffs at 49 AED. If you want the cheapest puffs and vape at a table, the E Hose X 60000 halves that cost. If you want pocket size and the longest flavour list, the 8000 is still the one, at the highest price per puff.

Each model’s product page is linked above, and the full Al Fakher range on vapsshop.ae includes the brand’s e-liquids and shisha products.
