Bar Series Blueberry Kiwi Gold Edition 100ml at £11.99

Bar Series 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Blueberry Kiwi (Gold Edition) is a flavoured, nicotine-free e-liquid supplied as 100ml of liquid in an oversized bottle, and it is listed here at £11.99. Divide that price by the volume and you land at roughly 12p per millilitre, which is the main reason people choose the shortfill format: a single purchase covers a long stretch of vaping at a lower running cost than a stack of small bottles would. The strength is 0mg as sold, so there is no nicotine in the liquid unless you decide to add some yourself.

This is a single-flavour listing rather than a range overview. The flavour is blueberry paired with kiwi, and the shop's own tags place it in the mixed berries family alongside the two named fruits. If you would like to see what else the brand makes, the Bar Series collection groups every product from the brand in one place, from 10ml nic salt bottles to larger formats, so you can compare prices and flavours without hunting around.

Bar Series names its liquids the way many disposable vapes are named: short, fruit-led combinations that are easy to recognise on a shelf or a screen. Blueberry Kiwi follows that pattern. The Gold Edition label also appears on other products from the brand, including nic salt bottles in our catalogue. We do not have a published breakdown of what separates Gold Edition from the standard line, so this page does not guess at it. The flavour name and the information printed on your bottle are the reliable guides.

What follows covers how the shortfill format works, what to expect from the flavour, how to add nicotine if you want it, which devices and coils suit it, and how to store and troubleshoot it. If you only want the headline, it is a straightforward 0mg fruit shortfill at a sensible price, aimed at adults who already own a refillable device and want a big bottle of an easy flavour. It is not suitable for anyone under 18, and you will need to confirm your age to buy it. If you are comparing options, our page of short fill e-liquids lists the full selection side by side.

How a 100ml shortfill works in practice

UK rules are the reason shortfills exist at all. E-liquid that contains nicotine may only be sold in containers of 10ml or smaller, and its strength is capped at 20mg per millilitre. Liquid with no nicotine in it is not bound by that bottle-size limit, so brands fill a large bottle with flavoured 0mg liquid and deliberately leave air space at the top. That space is there so you can add nicotine yourself, using separate 10ml shots, if you want a strength above zero.

With this product the listing gives 100ml of liquid at 0mg. The bottle is bigger than 100ml, which is why it looks under-filled when you hold it up to the light. The headroom is not wasted space, it is capacity for shots, and the label on your bottle will tell you how many 10ml shots it can take. Do not top it up with anything other than a nicotine shot. If you are staying at 0mg, add nothing at all.

A nicotine shot is a 10ml bottle of nicotine in an unflavoured VG and PG carrier, most commonly 18mg/ml or 20mg/ml. You pour it into the headroom, refit the cap and shake well, and the nicotine spreads evenly through the whole bottle. Because you are adding extra liquid, the flavour is diluted slightly, by roughly a tenth for each shot. Most people do not notice a single shot, and a second one is still manageable on a fruit flavour with this much going on.

If you stay at 0mg, none of this applies and you simply vape the liquid as it comes. Plenty of people do exactly that, either because they have stopped needing nicotine or because they like having a nicotine-free option for a second tank. Our nicotine-free e-liquids page is worth a look if you want to compare other 0mg bottles.

One practical point: the shortfill and the shots are separate products. Nothing in the box is a shot, so decide before you order whether you need to add one to your basket. Shots from a different brand work fine because they are unflavoured, though it is sensible to compare the VG/PG ratio of the shot with the ratio on your bottle if you want the mix to stay consistent.

What blueberry and kiwi taste like together

Blueberry on its own can come across as a flat, jammy flavour in e-liquid, which is why it is so often paired with something sharper. Kiwi is a sensible partner. It brings a green, slightly sour edge that cuts through the sweetness, and in a vape it tends to show most clearly on the exhale. The listing tags this liquid as blueberry, kiwi and mixed berries, and that is the picture to hold in your head: a sweet, rounded berry base with a tangy fruit note running over the top.

We have not published a tasting panel, so treat the following as what this kind of combination typically does rather than a guarantee. On the inhale, expect the blueberry to lead, a soft, sweet, slightly dark fruit note rather than a sharp one. Mid-draw, the kiwi should start to register, with a juicy, tart character that stops the profile feeling heavy. On the exhale the two blend into a general berry-and-green-fruit finish. The name does not mention ice or menthol, so do not expect a cooling hit. If that is what you want, look for flavours that say ice in the title.

Fruit flavours behave differently depending on the device. In a cooler, lower-wattage setup the sweetness tends to dominate and the kiwi sits further back. Turn the power up and the kiwi becomes sharper, sometimes at the cost of a slightly drier feel in the throat. If you find the flavour too sweet, a small drop in power or a more open airflow setting usually helps, because it lowers the amount of vapour per puff and lets the tartness come through.

Sweetener levels matter too. Heavily sweetened liquids can leave a film on the coil sooner, which is worth watching with any fruit shortfill. We cover coil care later, but flavour intensity and coil life are linked more closely than most people expect.

If you like this style, it is worth knowing how the brand works. Other Gold Edition flavours in the catalogue, such as Berry Blast and Fizzy White Grape, show the same approach: short, fruit-led recipes built from familiar flavours instead of long, complicated blends. That makes the range easy to navigate, and it means you can usually guess what a bottle will taste like from its name.

Who this shortfill is aimed at

Adult vapers who already own a refillable device are the obvious audience. If you have a sub-ohm tank, a refillable pod system or a mod and tank setup, a 100ml bottle fits straight into your routine: fill, vape, refill, and carry on until the bottle is empty. Because the price per millilitre is low, it suits people who vape throughout the day and find that 10ml bottles disappear within a few days.

It also suits people who are happy at 0mg. Some vapers have moved off nicotine completely and keep vaping for the habit and the flavour. For them, a nicotine-free fruit liquid in a large bottle is simply good value, and there is nothing to mix. Others like to keep a 0mg bottle to alternate with a nicotine-containing one, so that part of the day is nicotine-free.

A third group is people moving from disposables to refillable kit. Many disposable users like fruit-and-fruit combinations, and a bottle such as this one lets them keep the flavour style while spending less per puff over time. If you do not own a device yet, start with the vape kits range, where you can pick a starter setup and then choose liquids to suit it. Check what the kit is designed for before you buy liquid, because some small pod devices are built for thinner nic salt liquid and a thicker shortfill may not wick well in them.

Who it is not for matters just as much. If you need a high nicotine strength, shortfills are rarely the right tool, because the headroom in the bottle limits how much nicotine you can add. Anyone who currently smokes and relies on 10mg, 12mg or 20mg to stay off cigarettes will usually be better served by nic salts, which we cover in the strength guide below. And as with every product on this site, it is for adults only. Nicotine-free does not mean suitable for young people, and if you have never vaped there is no reason to start.

Specs and numbers at a glance

Here are the figures that matter, with the sums shown so you can check them yourself rather than take them on trust.

• Product: Bar Series 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Blueberry Kiwi (Gold Edition)
• Price: £11.99
• Liquid volume: 100ml, in a larger bottle with headroom for nicotine shots
• Nicotine strength as sold: 0mg/ml
• Flavour: blueberry and kiwi, tagged under mixed berries
• Cost per millilitre: £11.99 divided by 100 comes to about 12p

For context, a 10ml Gold Edition nic salt bottle from the same brand is listed in our catalogue at £2.95, and even on the 4 for £10 deal that works out at £2.50 each. Buying 100ml in that format would mean ten bottles and £25 at the deal price, or £29.50 at the single price. The shortfill costs less than half of either figure. The comparison is not perfectly fair, because nic salts and shortfills are different products with different strengths and different devices, but it shows why the large bottle is so popular.

If you add nicotine, the maths is simple. One 10ml shot at 18mg/ml into 100ml of 0mg liquid gives 180mg of nicotine across 110ml, which is about 1.6mg/ml. A 20mg/ml shot gives 200mg across 110ml, about 1.8mg/ml. Two 18mg/ml shots need 120ml of space in total and give 360mg across 120ml, which is exactly 3mg/ml, while two 20mg/ml shots give roughly 3.3mg/ml. Whether your bottle takes one shot or two depends on its size, so read the label before you buy shots.

The product listing does not state a VG/PG ratio that we can quote, so check the bottle for it. The ratio matters for coil choice and for how thick the liquid feels, and we would rather point you to the printed label than guess at a figure and get it wrong.

Adding nicotine shots step by step

Skip this section if you are staying at 0mg. If you do want nicotine, the process takes about two minutes and needs nothing beyond the shortfill bottle and the shots themselves.

• Check the headroom. Hold the bottle against the light and look at how much empty space there is. The label should say how many 10ml shots it can take.
• Prepare a clean surface. Work over a sink or a sheet of kitchen roll, and wash your hands first. Nicotine liquid on bare skin is best avoided, so disposable gloves are sensible.
• Open both bottles. Remove the cap and nozzle from the shortfill, then twist off the cap on the nicotine shot.
• Pour the shot in. Squeeze the full contents of the shot into the shortfill, keeping the bottle upright. Do not fill past the neck.
• Refit the nozzle and cap tightly. A loose cap is the most common cause of leaks when you shake the bottle.
• Shake thoroughly. Give it a hard shake for around thirty seconds, then again a few minutes later, so the nicotine mixes evenly.
• Let it rest. A few hours is plenty and overnight is better. It is not essential, but it tends to give a smoother, more even result.
• Label the bottle. Write the new strength and the date on it, so nobody has to guess later.

Once you have added a shot, the strength is no longer 0mg, and anything printed on the original box about the liquid being nicotine-free no longer applies. Treat the bottle as a nicotine product from that point on. That means keeping it out of reach of children and pets, storing it away from food and drink, and never leaving it somewhere a curious child could open it.

Wipe up spills straight away with a paper towel, and wash any skin that comes into contact with liquid. Rinse the empty shot bottles and dispose of them in line with your local recycling guidance. Nicotine is addictive, and the only reason to add a shot is if you already use nicotine and want to carry on doing so. If you do not, leave the bottle at 0mg.

Choosing a nicotine strength

Strength is the decision people most often get wrong, and they usually go too high. With a shortfill the range is narrow, which makes the choice simpler than it first appears.

0mg is the liquid exactly as supplied. It is the right choice if you do not use nicotine, or if you have weaned yourself off and want to keep the habit and flavour without the nicotine. There is no throat hit from nicotine, so the experience is smoother and the flavour carries the whole puff.

Around 1.6 to 1.8mg/ml is what a single 18mg or 20mg shot gives in a 100ml bottle. It is a gentle strength that suits people who vape big clouds from a sub-ohm tank, where a lot of liquid is inhaled with each puff and a low strength still delivers plenty.

Around 3mg/ml comes from two shots, if your bottle has the headroom. This is the top end of what most shortfill users aim for. It suits someone who wants a noticeable throat hit but is still using a high-airflow device.

Notice what is missing: anything higher. A 100ml shortfill is not designed for 6mg, 12mg or 20mg, and trying to force more nicotine in by using stronger shots or overfilling the neck is a bad idea. If you need a higher strength, the better tool is nicotine salt liquid, which is designed for small pod devices and delivers nicotine efficiently at higher concentrations. Our nicotine salt e-liquids range covers strengths from low to the 20mg legal maximum.

A few rules of thumb help. Start lower than you think you need and move up only if you feel unsatisfied after a day or two. Remember that sub-ohm devices deliver a lot more liquid per puff than a small pod, so a low strength can feel stronger than the number suggests. And if you are not a nicotine user, there is no reason to begin. Nicotine is addictive, and 0mg exists precisely so you do not have to take any.

Devices and coils that suit this liquid

Shortfills are generally designed for tanks and pods that handle larger volumes of vapour, so the natural home for this bottle is a sub-ohm tank or a refillable pod system with a free-flowing coil. The reason is wicking. A thicker liquid needs a coil with enough cotton surface and big enough wicking holes to keep up, and sub-ohm coils are built with exactly that in mind. Check the VG/PG ratio on your bottle against the coil manufacturer's guidance, which usually states a recommended range.

Coils are the consumable that affects your experience most. Fruit liquids with sweeteners, as most blueberry-and-something blends are, tend to leave residue on the coil, so expect to change it a little more often than you would with a plain or tobacco-style flavour. Browse the coils collection and match the part exactly to your tank, since coils are rarely interchangeable between brands and often not between tank models. Mesh coils tend to spread heat evenly and give rounder flavour, while standard wire coils are simple and widely available.

If you prefer something smaller, a refillable pod device can work, but check what it is designed for. The refillable vape pods range includes pods for several systems, and the product pages should indicate whether they suit thick or thin liquid. Pods built around nic salts and low power are usually meant for thinner mixes, and pushing a thick shortfill through them can cause dry hits or flooding. If the manufacturer says a pod suits high-VG liquid or sub-ohm vaping, you are fine. If it does not say, do not assume.

Start with the power setting at the lower end of the coil's printed range and move up in small steps. Fruit liquids usually taste best in the middle of the range, and at the top they can turn hot and flat. New coils also need priming: drip a few drops of liquid onto the cotton through the wicking holes, fill the tank, and wait five to ten minutes before the first puff. Skipping that step is the quickest way to burn a fresh coil and blame the liquid for it.

Storage, steeping and shelf life

E-liquid is simple to store, but a few habits make a real difference to flavour and safety. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dark place such as a drawer or cupboard. Heat and direct sunlight break down both flavouring and nicotine over time, which is why a bottle left on a car dashboard or a sunny windowsill often tastes flat and turns darker than it started. Always refit the cap tightly after filling your tank.

A 100ml bottle lasts a long time, so shelf life matters more than it does with 10ml bottles. Look for the best-before date printed on the label and the batch information on the box. Stored properly and left unopened, liquid generally keeps well for many months, but we will not put a number on it, because the date on your bottle is the one to follow. If you add nicotine, write the date on the bottle so you know how long it has been sitting.

Steeping is the term for letting a liquid rest before use. With a 0mg shortfill it is optional. Some fruit liquids taste more rounded after a day or two, others taste the same straight away, and a bottle of blueberry and kiwi is unlikely to change dramatically either way. If you do add a nicotine shot, a rest of several hours helps the mix settle, and an occasional shake gets the most even result. Do not worry if the liquid looks slightly darker after a few weeks. Colour change is common in e-liquids, especially those containing nicotine, and is not by itself a sign that anything is wrong.

Safety comes last but matters most. Keep all e-liquid out of reach of children and pets, and never decant it into drinks bottles or unlabelled containers. Swallowing e-liquid is dangerous, and bottles containing nicotine are more so. If a child or animal swallows any, seek medical or veterinary advice straight away and keep the packaging to hand. Finally, avoid carrying a full 100ml bottle loose in a bag, where pressure and knocks can force the cap. Decant what you need for the day into a smaller bottle instead.

Honest pros and cons

No liquid suits everyone, and a clear view of the trade-offs is more useful than a sales pitch. Here is how this one stacks up.

Pros

• Low cost per millilitre, at about 12p based on the listed £11.99.
• Supplied at 0mg, so it works as a nicotine-free liquid from the moment it arrives.
• A familiar flavour pairing: blueberry's sweetness with kiwi's tartness is easy to understand and rarely divisive.
• Room to add nicotine shots if you want a low strength.
• The large bottle means fewer reorders and less packaging over time.

Cons

• Not suitable for high nicotine strengths, because the headroom in the bottle limits how much you can add.
• Needs a refillable device. It cannot be used in a disposable or a closed pod kit.
• Sweet fruit liquids can shorten coil life, so budget for coils.
• A 100ml bottle is bulky to carry, so you will want a smaller refill bottle for daily use.
• One flavour across 100ml can get repetitive if you like to switch things up.

If that last point sounds like you, smaller bottles give more variety for the same spend. The 5 for £10 e-liquids deals let you mix several 10ml flavours for a single price, which is a cheaper way to find out what you enjoy before committing to a big bottle of one flavour.

Weighing it all up, this is a sensible buy for an adult who already vapes from a refillable device, is comfortable with 0mg or a low added strength, and wants a straightforward fruit flavour that will not run out in a week. It is a poor buy for someone who needs a strong nicotine hit, who uses a disposable, or who gets bored of a flavour quickly. Matching the product to the habit matters more than anything else on this list.

Troubleshooting: when the flavour is off

Most complaints about e-liquid are really complaints about the coil, the power setting or the way the tank is being filled. Before you blame the bottle, run through these common problems.

• Flavour seems weaker after a few days. Often this is a tired coil, or what vapers call vaper's tongue, where your taste buds get used to one flavour. Swap in a fresh coil and try a different flavour for a day to reset your palate.
• A burnt taste. This usually means the cotton is dry. Check the tank has liquid above the coil's wicking holes, drop the power, and take shorter puffs with a pause in between. A burnt coil does not recover, so replace it.
• Gurgling or spitting. The coil is flooded. This happens when the tank is overfilled, the airflow is nearly closed, or the liquid is thicker than the coil is built for. Open the airflow a little and avoid filling above the maximum line.
• Leaking from the tank. Check that the tank is screwed together properly and the seals are seated. A sudden change in air pressure, such as on a flight, can also push liquid out, so keep tanks empty or upright when travelling.
• Sticky bottle neck. Wipe it clean after each fill. Residue builds up with sweetened fruit liquids and can make the cap stiff.
• Throat feels dry or harsh. Lower the power, open the airflow and drink water. If you have added a shot, consider whether the strength is simply too high for your device.

If you work through the list and the liquid still tastes wrong, check the batch details and the best-before date on the bottle, and get in touch with the shop with the batch number to hand. Our FAQ page also covers general questions about orders, devices and liquids that apply across the whole site.

Finally, remember that flavour is subjective. Some people find blueberry candy-like and others find it plain. If this bottle is not to your taste, the fix is a different flavour rather than a different device, and the smaller-bottle options elsewhere on the site make trying alternatives much cheaper.

Alternatives, delivery and age checks

If a shortfill turns out to be the wrong fit, there are other routes to a similar flavour. People who do not want to fill a tank at all often prefer disposable vapes, which come charged and filled and are thrown away when empty. They cost more per puff over time, but they need no coils, no shots and no refilling. Nic salt bottles and prefilled pods sit in between, offering higher nicotine strengths in a smaller package. Which of these is right depends on how much you vape, how much nicotine you need and how much effort you are willing to put in.

On delivery, our shipping information sets out the available options, costs and expected times, so check it before you order if you need the bottle by a particular date. If you are adding nicotine shots to the same basket, it is worth checking that everything you need is in there before you check out, so you are not waiting on a second parcel to finish the job.

Vaping products are for adults only. You must be 18 or over to buy this liquid, and we may ask you to confirm your age. Our age verification page explains how the process works and what you may be asked for. It is a legal requirement and it applies to nicotine-free products as much as to those containing nicotine.

When your order arrives, check that the bottle is sealed and that the label shows the flavour you ordered, the volume and a batch code. If anything looks wrong, such as a damaged bottle, a broken seal or the wrong flavour, contact the shop promptly and keep the packaging and any photos you have taken. That makes it far easier to sort out quickly. For a 0mg fruit shortfill at this price, a smooth purchase really is the whole point.
