Podbar Vapes

Podbar Vapes at VapeShopOnline: What This Collection Covers

Podbar is a name UK vapers tend to know through nicotine salt e-liquid and the pod kit bundles that sit alongside it, rather than through the sealed, throw-away devices that used to fill shop counters. This collection page gathers the Podbar-branded stock we carry, and it is worth being upfront about its shape: it is a compact range, not a sprawling catalogue. At the time of writing the collection lists the Podbar Salts + Innokin Endura S1 Pod Kit Twin Pack, sold as a pack of five, at a typical price a little under forty pounds. Related Podbar nic salt bottles also appear in our store under the Kingston name, as ten-packs of 10ml bottles at a typical price of around twenty pounds.

That mix tells you what the brand is about. Podbar is built around a modular, refillable approach: you pick a nicotine salt liquid in a flavour you like, and you pair it with a compatible pod device. It suits adults who smoke or used to smoke and want a straightforward fruit or menthol vape without learning a lot of jargon. It also suits existing pod users who are tired of paying a premium for sealed all-in-one units and would rather control what goes into the pod.

Who tends to get the most from this page:

• Adults switching from cigarettes who want a simple fruit or menthol flavour in a small, pocketable pod device.
• Existing pod users who would rather refill than keep buying sealed units and throwing them away.
• Shoppers comparing formats before deciding between a refillable pod kit and a prefilled, closed-pod system.

If you arrived looking for a disposable vape, a quick note: single-use disposables can no longer be sold in the UK, and nothing in this collection is one. The products here are refillable or rechargeable systems and the liquids that go in them. Everything we sell is strictly for adults aged 18 or over, and we check.

The sections below cover the brand, the two product formats you will see, flavours, nicotine strength, device pairing, how Podbar compares with similar options, the UK rules that shape what is on sale, how to spot genuine stock, and some honest guidance on value and care.

Brand Background and Where Podbar Fits

Podbar sits in the part of the UK market built around nicotine salts. Salt liquids use an acid, commonly benzoic acid, to bind the nicotine, which gives a smoother throat feel at the higher end of the legal strength range than traditional freebase liquid does. That is why salts became the default partner for small pod devices: you take short, gentle puffs, and the liquid delivers a satisfying amount of nicotine without needing a big cloud or a powerful battery.

Our own brand note describes Podbar as a brand with a focus on straightforward fruit and menthol flavour profiles, and the products in our catalogue bear that out. There are no elaborate dessert blends or multi-layered cocktails here. The names read like what they are: blue razz lemonade, watermelon ice, minty menthol, lemon lime. That simplicity is a feature for a lot of people, because it is easy to know what you are getting and easy to replace a bottle with the same thing next month.

We would rather tell you what we can stand behind than invent a brand story. What we can say from the products themselves is this. The salt bottles are 10ml units sold in packs of ten, in 10mg and 20mg strengths. Some of those listings carry the Kingston name alongside Podbar, and Kingston is a separate e-liquid brand with its own collection on this site, so check the label when your parcel arrives and keep a note of the batch code. The hardware in the bundle comes from Innokin, a long-established pod and mod manufacturer that also has its own collection here.

It helps to picture the three broad ways UK adults buy a vape today. The first is the sealed big-puff rechargeable, an all-in-one unit with a built-in battery and a fixed amount of liquid. The second is the closed-pod kit, where the battery is reusable and you click in a prefilled pod. The third is the refillable pod kit, where you top up the pod from a bottle. Podbar lives mostly in the third group, with the bundle giving you a way into it in a single purchase.

Pairing a salt brand with an established hardware name also removes the most common source of frustration for newcomers, which is buying liquid that does not suit the device it is going into. That is the practical logic of the bundle, and it is the reason we group these products together on one page.

Flagship Lines: Podbar Salts and the Innokin Endura S1 Bundle

There are two formats to understand, and they do different jobs. One is a starting point, the other is the refill you will keep coming back to.

• Podbar Salts + Innokin Endura S1 Pod Kit Twin Pack (pack of five): a bundle that pairs Podbar salt liquid with an Innokin Endura S1 pod kit in a twin-pack arrangement. The listing offers flavour choices, with blue razz lemonade among the variants shown, and a 10mg option. Exactly what is in the box, including how many devices and how many bottles, is set out on the product page. If anything about the contents is not clear to you, ask us before ordering. We would rather answer a question than have you open a parcel you did not expect.
• Kingston Podbar nic salt 10ml, pack of ten: ten 10ml bottles in a single flavour, so 100ml of liquid in total, offered in 10mg and 20mg. A typical price is around twenty pounds, which works out at roughly twenty pence per millilitre, and that figure is the one to hold in your head when you compare against other refills and against sealed devices.

Why 10ml bottles? UK rules cap nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles at 10ml, so a ten-pack is how volume is delivered within the legal packaging limit. It also means you can stock up without breaking the rules, and each bottle is small enough to keep in a bag or a coat pocket without worrying about leaks the way you might with a larger container.

If you are new to refillable pods, the bundle is the simpler route because the liquid and the device have been chosen to work together. If you already own a compatible pod device, the ten-pack is the obvious purchase. If you are not sure whether your device takes salts, the next sections will help you decide, and our team can check before you buy.

A practical note on the pack-of-five wording. Retail listings for bundles are sometimes read in a hurry, so it is easy to assume five complete kits when the pack count may refer to the liquid or the pods. Treat the product page as the source of truth for contents and quantity, and look at the images and the variant selector rather than relying on the title alone.

Flavour Signatures: Fruit, Ice and Menthol

The salt range we hold under the Podbar name covers eleven flavours, and they fall into a handful of families. Availability moves around with batches, so treat this as a guide to the style rather than a guarantee of what is in stock on any given day.

• Berry and blue: Blue Razz Lemonade, Blue Sour Raspberry, Mad Blue, Juicy Strawberry and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice. Blue raspberry is the dominant theme in UK vaping, sweet and slightly tart, and the lemonade and sour variants dial that tartness up or down.
• Ice and cooling: Cola Ice, Watermelon Ice and the cherry ice blend. Ice flavours add a cooling note on the exhale, and in a nicotine salt that coolness tends to feel crisp rather than harsh.
• Citrus: Lemon Lime, plus the lemonade note in the blue razz variant. These are the lightest flavours in the set and the easiest to vape through a long afternoon.
• Tropical and mixed fruit: Kiwi Passionfruit Guava and Fruit Punch. Mixed fruit profiles are where salts tend to shine, because small pods concentrate the aroma instead of letting it disperse.
• Menthol: Minty Menthol, for people who want a clean, cooling, non-fruit option.

Mad Blue is the one flavour where the name does most of the talking. Expect a blue, sweet-leaning fruit blend in the same family as the blue raspberry options, and read the product description for the specific notes before you commit to a ten-pack of it.

A few tips that save money and disappointment. First, buy one flavour at a time until you know what you like, because each ten-pack is a single flavour and ten bottles is a lot of one taste if you guess wrong. Second, avoid mixing flavours in the same pod; refill only when the pod is nearly empty, and if you do want to change flavour, let the pod run dry first so the two do not muddle. Third, remember that your sense of taste dulls if you vape the same sweet flavour all day, which is why many people rotate between a fruit and a menthol and find both taste fresher.

Finally, flavour is also tied to strength. At 20mg, a menthol or ice flavour can feel noticeably punchier than a plain fruit, because the cooling effect and the nicotine both register at the back of the throat. If you are sensitive to throat hit, pick a fruit flavour at 10mg first.

Choosing a Nicotine Strength: 10mg or 20mg

The Podbar salt bottles come in two strengths: 10mg and 20mg. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg per millilitre, which is 2 per cent, so 20mg is the highest strength you can legally buy from any retailer. The bundle variant we list shows 10mg. Understanding what those numbers mean in practice makes the decision a lot easier.

Strength is measured per millilitre. A 10ml bottle at 10mg therefore holds 100mg of nicotine in total, and a 10ml bottle at 20mg holds 200mg. A ten-pack at 20mg holds 2,000mg across the whole box. Those totals matter less than the concentration when you vape, because what you feel with each puff depends on the strength of the liquid and how much of it you draw through the device.

• 10mg: a sensible starting point for lighter or occasional smokers, for people who already vape at a low strength, and for anyone who finds salts too sharp at the top end. It is also a good choice if you plan to vape often and in long sessions.
• 20mg: the usual choice for adults who currently smoke a pack-a-day style routine and want a vape that can stand in for that level of nicotine in a few puffs. Salts make 20mg far more tolerable than the same strength in freebase would be, but it is still strong.

Match the strength to your current habit rather than to a number you read online. If you are not sure, start at 10mg, see how you get on over a few days, and move up if you find yourself reaching for the device constantly without feeling satisfied. If you feel dizzy, queasy or jittery, that is a sign you are taking in more nicotine than you want, and stepping down a strength or taking shorter puffs is the sensible response.

A few details specific to salts. They are designed to be vaped in short, light draws on low-power devices. If you try a 20mg salt in a high-powered device with a big airflow, you can end up with a harsh hit and a lot of nicotine very quickly. Equally, using a very low strength in a tiny pod can leave you taking many puffs and feeling unsatisfied. The pairing of strength and device is just as important as either one alone.

One further point on honesty. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is for adults who already use nicotine. If you do not smoke, do not start. If you do smoke and want an alternative, pick the strength that lets you stay off cigarettes comfortably, and if you ever want to reduce your intake, the 10mg option gives you somewhere to step down to.

Devices and E-Liquid: Getting the Pairing Right

The most common mistake with refillable pods is mismatching the liquid and the hardware, so it is worth spending a few minutes on how the two fit together.

Nicotine salt liquids are formulated for low-power devices. Most refillable pod kits run somewhere in the region of 10 to 25 watts, with coil resistances typically between roughly 0.8 and 1.6 ohms, and that is the territory salts were formulated for. They are not designed for sub-ohm tanks driven at high wattage, where the airflow is wide open and the draw is long. In that kind of device, a salt at 20mg can feel harsh and the liquid will disappear fast. If you own a larger tank and mod, check whether your device has a mouth-to-lung mode before using salts, or choose a freebase liquid instead.

Pods are almost always specific to a model or a family of models. Never assume that a pod from one brand will click into a device from another, even if the shapes look similar. Check the product page for the pod model that fits your device. The Innokin Endura S1 in the bundle is sold with its own pods, so if you buy the ten-pack of liquid separately, you will need a refillable pod that is compatible with your hardware.

Under UK rules, a refillable pod or tank can hold no more than 2ml, so you will be topping up regularly. The steps below keep that routine tidy:

• Switch the device off and, if the pod can be removed, take it out before filling.
• Fill slowly through the designated port, stopping just below the maximum line to leave space for air.
• Wipe away any drips from the outside of the pod and the contacts, so they do not interfere with the connection.
• Let a fresh pod or coil rest for a few minutes before the first puff, so the cotton has time to soak. This helps avoid a burnt taste.
• Take a couple of gentle puffs without pressing the button, or at a low setting, to prime it before regular use.

For a first-time vaper, a simple pod kit with a single button or draw activation and a small battery is easier to live with than a device with adjustable power and several modes. For an experienced vaper, the question is whether you want to keep a second device around that runs salts, or whether you would rather stay with your existing set-up and buy freebase. There is no universal right answer, only a trade-off between simplicity and flexibility.

If you already own an Innokin device, our team can help you check pod compatibility before you buy. Send us the exact model name, as it appears on the base of the device or the box, and we will tell you which pods fit.

Podbar Compared With Other Brands and Formats

A fair comparison starts with the format, because the choice between a refillable pod kit with salts and a sealed rechargeable is bigger than the choice between any two brands.

Podbar versus big-puff rechargeables. Since the disposable ban, brands such as Elf Bar, Lost Mary and Geek Bar have moved their big-puff ranges to rechargeable models with a replaceable pod or a refill system. They are convenient: you charge the device, you vape, you replace the pod. The trade-off is that the flavour choice is tied to the pod you buy, the unit is often priced as a bundle, and you cannot easily change liquid. A Podbar-style setup gives you control: pick the flavour and strength, refill when you choose, and swap the liquid without touching the hardware.

Podbar versus other salt ranges. We also stock Pod Salt, My Salts and a wide list of nicotine salt e-liquids. Across those ranges, the underlying chemistry is similar. The differences come down to flavour line-up, bottle format, nicotine strength options and the devices a brand pairs with. If you already have a favourite salt brand, there is no need to switch. If you are choosing one for the first time, the practical question is whether the flavours on offer are ones you will want to vape every day.

Podbar versus closed-pod systems. Closed-pod kits use prefilled pods that you click into the battery and bin when empty. They are as simple as it gets, but the pods cost more per millilitre than a bottle of salt, and the pod is a consumable item you have to keep buying. Refillable pods let you spread your cost across bottles, though you take on a little extra routine.

• Easiest to start with: a closed-pod kit or a sealed rechargeable.
• Most control over flavour and strength: a refillable pod with a salt liquid such as Podbar.
• Lowest running cost over time: refillable pods with ten-packs of 10ml salts, once the initial device is paid for.

For a new vaper, the bundle is a gentle introduction to refilling because the device and liquid arrive together. For an experienced vaper who already owns a pod device, the ten-pack is the more interesting product because it is a repeatable refill. For someone who simply wants the least fuss, a closed-pod kit or a sealed rechargeable might be the better fit, and we would rather say so than push you toward something that does not match how you vape.

UK Rules: Strength Caps, Bottle Sizes and the Disposable Ban

The UK has a clear set of rules for vaping products, and knowing them makes it easier to judge whether what you are being offered is above board. Here are the limits that matter for this collection.

• Nicotine strength: a maximum of 20mg per millilitre (2 per cent) for e-liquids and prefilled pods. This applies to everything sold in the UK, and it is why the strongest Podbar salt is 20mg.
• Bottle size: nicotine-containing e-liquid can be sold in bottles of no more than 10ml, which is why salts come in 10ml bottles and larger volumes are packaged as multi-packs.
• Tank and pod size: refillable tanks and pods are limited to 2ml.
• Packaging: bottles must have child-resistant, tamper-evident closures, an ingredient list and a prominent nicotine health warning.
• Notification: products have to be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency before they can be sold.
• Age: you must be 18 or over to buy or be sold nicotine vaping products.

These requirements stem from the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, often shortened to TPD in everyday conversation. They apply to every retailer, which is why a legitimate bottle from a UK shop looks broadly the same as any other legitimate bottle.

The disposable ban is the other major change. From 1 June 2025, single-use disposable vapes can no longer be supplied in the UK. A disposable, in the legal sense, is a device that is not designed to be recharged or refilled. Before the ban, those products were capped at 20mg nicotine and about 2ml of liquid, which is where the familiar 600-puff style of device came from. After the ban, big-puff vapes moved to rechargeable and refillable designs. If anyone is offering you a single-use device today, treat it with suspicion; it is either old stock that should not be on sale or something that is not what it claims to be.

Recycling is part of the picture too. Vapes and pods contain lithium batteries and electronic components, and they should never go into household bins or kerbside recycling, because crushed batteries can cause fires in bin lorries and waste centres. In the UK, shops that sell vapes are expected to offer take-back for waste electrical items, and most council household waste recycling centres have a small electricals or battery bin that accepts vapes. Look for vape recycling drop-off points near you through your council website or the recycling locators run by electrical-waste schemes, and bring any device, battery or empty pod you no longer use.

Empty 10ml bottles are plastic, and whether they can be recycled at home depends on your local council, so check its guidance. Wipe out any remaining liquid and keep the cap on while you carry them.

Spotting Genuine Podbar Stock, Plus Warranty and Returns

Counterfeit and grey-market vape products are a real problem in the UK, and the risk is higher for popular fruit flavours. Whether you buy from us or elsewhere, a few checks tell you a great deal.

• Look at the warning panel. A legitimate UK bottle carries a nicotine health warning on the front and back, a list of ingredients, the nicotine strength, the volume and a batch or lot number. If any of those is missing, be wary.
• Check the closure. A genuine bottle has a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal. A loose cap or a broken ring is a red flag.
• Compare the print. Blurry text, wrong spellings, misaligned logos and colours that do not match the product page are common signs of a copy.
• Match the strength. Anything claiming to be above 20mg in the UK is not a legal UK product.
• Be sceptical about prices. If a ten-pack is offered for far less than every other retailer charges, ask yourself where the savings come from.
• Check the retailer. A UK shop should show a business name, a contact route and clear age verification.

We stock only genuine product from authorised supply routes, and if something ever looks wrong when your order arrives, send us a photo of the packaging and the batch code. That makes it quick for us to investigate and, where needed, put it right.

Warranty on hardware. The Innokin Endura S1 comes with the manufacturer's warranty terms, which are usually printed on a leaflet in the box or published on the maker's website. We cannot vouch for every term on behalf of the maker, so read the leaflet and keep the receipt and any serial or batch codes. Separately, UK consumer law gives you rights if goods arrive faulty or not as described, including a short period in which you can reject faulty goods and ask for a refund. If a device does not charge, does not fire, or has visible damage on arrival, contact us as soon as you notice it, with a photo, and we will sort out a replacement or a refund.

Returns on liquid. For hygiene reasons, opened bottles and used pods are normally not returnable if there is nothing wrong with them. Unopened, sealed items are different, and our returns policy sets out the time limits and the steps. If you are unsure about a flavour, the sensible approach is to try a single pack rather than several at once.

Value, Care and Buying Tips

Value in vaping is not just about the sticker price. It is about what each millilitre costs, how long a bottle lasts and how often you need to replace parts. Here is an honest way to think about the Podbar range.

A ten-pack of 10ml salts at a typical price of around twenty pounds gives you 100ml of liquid at roughly twenty pence per millilitre. The bundle, at a typical price a little under forty pounds, is the more expensive purchase up front because it includes hardware, but it also solves the compatibility problem in one go. If you already own a pod device, the ten-pack is almost always the better value, and the more bottles you use before the hardware wears out, the lower your cost per day becomes. Compared with buying a sealed rechargeable every week or two, refilling is typically cheaper over a month, especially for people who vape heavily.

Buying tips that apply to this collection:

• Choose a strength you are sure about before buying a ten-pack, because you will be living with it for a while.
• Buy one flavour first, then come back for others once you know what you enjoy.
• Check the product page for pod compatibility before assuming a liquid fits your device.
• Keep your order confirmation and batch code, in case you need to contact us.
• Take advantage of free UK delivery on orders over £20, and order before 4pm for next-day dispatch.

Care and maintenance is mostly common sense, and it makes a real difference to how long your hardware lasts and how the liquid tastes.

• Storage: keep bottles upright, with the cap on, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light degrade flavour over time. Keep every bottle well out of reach of children and pets.
• Charging: use the cable that came with the device, charge on a hard surface and do not leave it charging unattended overnight. Do not carry loose devices in a pocket with keys or coins.
• Pods and coils: replace the pod or coil when the flavour turns flat, burnt or muted, or when you notice gurgling or leaking. Do not keep topping up a pod that tastes wrong; the coil is the consumable part.
• Cleaning: wipe the mouthpiece and contacts with a dry cloth. Avoid running pods under water unless the maker explicitly says it is fine.
• Recycling: when a device or battery reaches the end of its life, take it to a vape recycling drop-off point, a household waste recycling centre with an electricals bin, or back to a shop offering take-back.

Used this way, a Podbar set-up is a modest, predictable cost and a low-fuss routine. If you have questions about strength, pods or delivery, we are happy to help before you order.
