The short answer is that the Al Fakher Crown Bar 60K performs best as a handheld shisha-style vape, rather than as a complete replacement for a traditional hookah.
With the airflow fully open, it produces dense vapor, a noticeably strong inhale and the relaxed DTL draw that many shisha users expect. Closing the airflow makes the draw more controlled, but it never becomes as tight as a small cigarette-style MTL device.
We also examined how the Crown Bar performed in a water-filtered setup. Passing the vapor through water made the inhale considerably smoother, but it also reduced the intensity of the cherry, strawberry and apple flavors. For flavor quality and everyday practicality, we preferred using the Crown Bar by itself.
Its main strengths are the adjustable MTL-to-DTL airflow, 0.6Ω dual-mesh coil, digital mode display and distinctive e-hose design. Its biggest disadvantage is equally obvious: this is a large device that prioritizes vapor and session-style use over portability.

The 60,000-puff figure is the manufacturer’s rated maximum rather than a guaranteed result. Actual usage depends heavily on airflow position, draw length and frequency of use.
A Large E-Hose Rather Than a Pocket Vape
The Crown Bar 60K does not try to look or feel like a standard disposable vape.
The body measures approximately 160mm in height and around 49mm at its widest point. Exact measurements may vary slightly, but the practical conclusion is simple: it is much too large to disappear comfortably into a normal pocket.
The hard plastic body feels substantial in the hand, while the textured band around the centre provides a more secure grip. That band is useful because the device would otherwise feel quite smooth and bulky.
Its most recognizable design feature sits at the bottom. The transparent section contains moving glitter and liquid, creating an effect similar to a small snow globe. Shaking the device causes the glitter to move across the display, making the Crown Bar visually different from almost every rectangular high-puff disposable.
This design works well at home, at social gatherings or as a display product in a vape shop. However, it is not ideal for customers who want a small, discreet device for use throughout the day.
Digital Display and Airflow Controls
The Crown Bar 60K has a small digital display integrated into the decorative lower section of the body.
The screen changes between MTL and DTL as the airflow slider moves. This makes it easy to confirm the selected draw mode without having to judge the airflow position by touch alone.
The display is smaller and less prominent than the large front-facing screens found on some box-shaped disposable vapes. Its main practical value is showing the current mode and operating information rather than dominating the appearance of the device.
The Crown Bar is draw-activated and does not require a firing button. Once the airflow position has been selected, the device activates automatically during the inhale.
The glitter can occasionally move in front of the display, but this is part of the visual design rather than a serious usability problem.
MTL vs RDL vs DTL: How Does the Airflow Feel?
The bottom airflow slider gives the Crown Bar a wider usable range than a fixed-airflow disposable.
Airflow Closed Down: Loose MTL
At its tightest setting, the Crown Bar provides a more controlled inhale with less air entering the device.
However, this is still a relatively loose form of MTL. Customers should not expect the tight resistance of a cigarette or a compact pod system. The large mouthpiece and high-output coil continue to give it a shisha-oriented character.
This setting is most useful for users who want to reduce vapor volume or concentrate the flavor slightly.
Airflow in the Middle: RDL
The middle position provides the most balanced experience.
It allows enough air for a comfortable restricted direct-lung inhale without producing the maximum possible cloud on every draw. Flavor remains concentrated, while the throat sensation feels easier to control than it does with the airflow completely open.
For everyday use, this is likely to be the most practical setting for many customers.
Airflow Fully Open: DTL
Opening the airflow completely changes the display to DTL and allows the device to produce its largest vapor output.
The draw becomes much freer, and longer inhales feel closer to an electronic shisha than a conventional disposable vape. The vapor is dense and visually impressive, but it also increases e-liquid consumption and produces a more noticeable throat sensation.
The DTL setting felt slightly more forceful during the test. However, the device does not provide a wattage reading, so we cannot confirm whether it actively increases power or whether the difference mainly comes from the additional airflow and longer draw.
| Airflow Position | Draw Style | Vapor Output | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tightest | Loose MTL | Moderate | More controlled draws |
| Middle | RDL | Medium to high | Balanced flavor and vapor |
| Fully open | DTL | Very high | Shisha-style clouds |
Vapor Production and Throat Hit
Vapor production is one of the Crown Bar 60K’s strongest features.
With the airflow fully open, a long inhale produces a dense cloud that is noticeably larger than the output of a compact disposable vape. The 0.6Ω dual-mesh coil appears well matched to this style of use, heating enough liquid to support an open DTL draw without making the vapor feel thin.
The throat sensation is stronger than the 0.6% nicotine figure might initially suggest. This is partly because DTL use delivers a larger volume of vapor during each inhale.
Consequently, nicotine percentage should not be considered in isolation. Airflow, draw duration, coil output and vapor volume all affect how strong a device feels.
Users who find the fully open setting too intense can shorten the draw or move the slider towards the middle. That reduces the volume without completely removing the open e-hose character.
Handheld Use vs Water-Filtered Use
The long mouthpiece can fit certain third-party hookah or water-pipe setups. We compared the experience when using the Crown Bar normally and when passing the vapor through water.
The result was more nuanced than simply saying that water filtration made the vape better.
Used Directly
When used as a normal handheld device:
- Fruit notes tasted clearer.
- Sweetness and acidity were easier to identify.
- Cooling felt slightly more noticeable.
- The throat hit was stronger.
- The device required no additional equipment.
Cherry, strawberry and apple all retained more definition when the vapor travelled directly from the device.
Passed Through Water
After passing the vapor through water:
- The inhale became noticeably smoother.
- The throat hit felt softer.
- Cooling became less obvious.
- Fruit intensity decreased.
- Individual flavor notes became harder to distinguish.
The effect was particularly noticeable with Two Apple. Its red apple, green apple and lightly spiced character became much less distinct after water filtration.
| Test Method | Smoothness | Flavor Strength | Cooling | Practicality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct handheld use | Moderate | Stronger | More noticeable | Best for regular use |
| Water-filtered setup | Higher | Weaker | Reduced | Better as a social experiment |
The water-filtered setup is visually interesting and may appeal during parties or group sessions. Nevertheless, the Crown Bar delivers its clearest flavor when used by itself.
It should also be noted that a third-party water pipe is not required to use the device and may not represent an officially approved configuration. The Crown Bar works as a complete draw-activated e-hose straight from the package.
Three Flavor Observations
This is not intended to replace our complete Crown Bar flavor guide, but three flavors helped show how the airflow and water test affected taste.
Cherry Fizz
Cherry Fizz sits between a natural cherry and a light cherry-syrup profile.
It has a subtle fizzy sensation on the exhale, but it is not aggressively sour or heavily carbonated. Cooling stays in the background, making this one of the more suitable options for customers who dislike strong ice.
Strawberry Punch
Strawberry Punch tastes more like a sweet strawberry drink than a freshly cut strawberry.
When used directly, the flavor feels tangier and more concentrated. Passing it through water makes the vapor smoother, but some of the strawberry sharpness and light cooling disappear.
Two Apple
Two Apple has the clearest connection to traditional shisha.
Red apple provides sweetness, green apple adds a sharper edge, and a lightly spiced finish gives the blend more depth. This is not simply a candy-apple flavor.
Of the three, Two Apple is the easiest recommendation for established hookah users. However, its distinctive spiced character becomes weaker after water filtration.

Battery and Type-C Charging
The Crown Bar 60K contains a rechargeable 1000mAh battery and charges through a Type-C port located near the bottom of the device.
Recharging is essential because a single battery cycle would not be expected to use the full 50ml capacity. The device will require multiple charging cycles during its usable life.
The reviewed unit continued operating while connected to Type-C power. However, we would not treat pass-through operation as a reason to leave the device charging unattended. Customers should use a suitable cable and follow the charging guidance supplied with their unit.
The video test did not measure:
- Actual battery capacity
- Full charging time
- Charging current
- Total number of charging cycles
- Battery performance near the end of the device’s life
For that reason, the 1000mAh figure should be treated as the published battery specification rather than an independently measured result.
Does It Really Deliver 60,000 Puffs?
The Crown Bar carries a manufacturer rating of up to 60,000 puffs, but that number should not be interpreted as a fixed promise.
A short MTL-style puff and a long DTL inhale do not consume the same amount of e-liquid. Fully open airflow, frequent use and extended draws will reduce the total number of puffs obtained from the device.
The 50ml e-liquid capacity gives a more useful indication that this is a high-capacity product. However, it does not make every user’s final puff count identical.
Customers who regularly use the open DTL setting should expect faster consumption than customers taking shorter draws with the airflow reduced.
What We Liked
- Wide adjustment range from loose MTL to open DTL
- Dense vapor from the 0.6Ω dual-mesh coil
- Clear difference between airflow settings
- Digital display confirms MTL or DTL mode
- Distinctive glitter and snow-globe appearance
- Comfortable central grip
- Type-C rechargeable 1000mAh battery
- Traditional shisha-style flavor options
- Works well as a complete handheld e-hose
- 0.6% nicotine suits larger vapor volume better than a high-strength liquid
Drawbacks to Consider
The Crown Bar 60K will not suit every customer.
First, it is large. This is a device for home, shop, lounge or social use rather than something that fits comfortably into a pocket.
Second, the tightest airflow setting remains relatively loose. Customers searching for a true cigarette-style MTL draw should consider a smaller product.
Third, the fully open DTL setting can produce a stronger throat sensation than expected. Users who prefer softer vapor may need to shorten their draw or reduce the airflow.
Fourth, the display is useful for checking the selected mode, but it is smaller and less informative than the large smart screens found on some box-style devices.
Finally, connecting the Crown Bar to a water setup improves smoothness but reduces flavor. It is an interesting experiment, not a necessary performance upgrade.
Who Should Choose the Crown Bar 60K?
The Crown Bar 60K is best suited to adult users who:
- Prefer open DTL or RDL draws
- Enjoy dense, visible vapor
- Already like traditional shisha flavors
- Want adjustable airflow
- Use their device mainly at home or during social sessions
- Prefer lower nicotine with larger vapor output
- Do not need a small pocket-friendly device
- Want a visually distinctive e-hose
It is less suitable for users who:
- Want a very tight MTL draw
- Prefer discreet vapor production
- Need a lightweight daily carry
- Dislike larger mouthpieces
- Expect exactly 60,000 identical puffs
- Want a conventional compact disposable vape

Final Verdict
The Al Fakher Crown Bar 60K is most convincing when treated as a handheld electronic shisha, not as an oversized version of a standard disposable vape.
Its fully open DTL mode provides the dense vapor and free-flowing inhale that define the product. The middle airflow position is more balanced for regular use, while the tightest setting gives some additional control without becoming a true tight MTL draw.
The digital display adds useful mode confirmation, and the moving-glitter base gives the device a distinctive visual identity. The 0.6Ω dual-mesh coil also handles longer draws well, particularly with traditional shisha-style flavors such as Two Apple.
The water-filtered test produced a smoother inhale, but it also weakened the flavor. For that reason, our preferred way to use the Crown Bar is directly from its own mouthpiece.
Choose it if you want large vapor, adjustable airflow and an e-hose format for relaxed sessions. Choose a smaller device if portability, discreet use or a tight MTL draw matters more.
