Bar Series Cola Ice 100ml at a Glance

Bar Series 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Cola Ice is a nicotine-free vape juice supplied in a large bottle and priced at £11.99 on this site. The name covers most of the brief: a cola flavour, finished with an ice note, from the Bar Series shortfill line. There is no battery, no puff count and no hardware in the box. This is liquid only, made to be poured into a refillable tank, pod or sub-ohm device that you already own.

The 0mg strength is the detail that shapes everything else. A liquid with no nicotine in it is not held to the 10ml bottle limit that applies to nicotine-containing products in the UK, which is how a 100ml measure reaches the shelf at all. Adults who want nicotine can add separately bought shots. Everyone else simply uses the liquid as it arrives.

Cola Ice sits inside a mixed family. Bar Series lists a long run of flavours under the same shortfill name, among them fruit blends such as Apple Peach and Cherry Fizz, plus several Gold Edition variants. The full Bar Series range is the place to compare them side by side, while the wider shortfill e-liquids collection shows how other brands handle the same bottle format.

A quick note on how this page is written. Bar Series does not publish a tasting wheel, a sweetness score or a VG/PG split on the listing we work from, so the sections below stick to what the flavour name, the 0mg label and general e-liquid practice can honestly support. Where a detail depends on the bottle that lands on your doorstep, we say so and point you to the label. That covers bottle capacity, base ratio and the batch information printed on the box.

Everything here is written for adults. Vaping products are sold strictly to over 18s, and nicotine is addictive, so if you do not already use nicotine there is no reason to start. The 0mg version of this liquid exists precisely so that nobody has to.

How a Shortfill Bottle Is Built to Work

Hold a shortfill up to the light and the trick is obvious: the liquid stops well short of the neck. That gap is deliberate. The bottle is larger than the 100ml of flavoured liquid inside it, leaving space for nicotine shots. Bottles of this type are commonly a 120ml container, although the capacity printed on your label is the figure to trust.

The reason it works comes down to UK rules. Nicotine-containing e-liquid has to be sold in bottles of 10ml or less, and the strength is capped at 20mg/ml. A nicotine-free liquid sits outside that bottle cap, so makers fill a big bottle with flavoured base and sell nicotine separately in 10ml shots, commonly at 18mg/ml. You choose whether to combine them. The retailer never mixes them for you.

Because the flavour is already balanced in the base, a shot of nicotine does not need to change the taste in any dramatic way. Shots are generally a neutral VG/PG blend that adds strength rather than flavour. The one side effect is dilution: with two shots in the bottle, the same amount of flavour is spread across 120ml instead of 100ml. Most people never notice. Sensitive tasters occasionally do, and if that is you, a single shot is the gentler route.

The format suits anyone with a tank or refillable pod, because the cost per millilitre is low compared with buying small bottles over and over. On a typical shelf of e-liquids the shortfill is the volume option, whereas the 10ml nic salt bottles are the compact, higher-strength, pod-friendly option. They are different tools for different devices, and knowing which one your kit expects will save you a wasted order.

Two practical points before you buy. First, shortfills are not made for closed pods that take sealed cartridges; they need a fill port, a tank or a refillable pod. Second, a 100ml bottle is a lot of liquid to keep open, so decanting a little into a small dropper bottle for daily use keeps the main bottle sealed, cleaner and fresher for longer.

What the Cola and Ice Notes Should Taste Like

Cola is one of the harder flavours to get right in a vape, and the reason is simple: real cola is a blend. Caramelised sugar sweetness, a citrus snap, a little spice and a fizzing bite all sit together in a drink, and an e-liquid has to suggest that complexity without any actual carbonation. Most liquids in this style lean on a dark, caramel-like sweetness up front with a light citrus lift around the edges. Cola Ice is best read as part of that family.

The ice element is the second layer. In e-liquid terms, ice normally means a cooling agent added to the flavour, giving a crisp, chilled feel on the inhale and a clean finish on the exhale. It does not usually add a distinct taste of its own. It sharpens the cola and takes some of the syrupy edge off, which is why cola and ice turns up in so many ranges. Bar Series does not publish how strong the cooling is, so treat the intensity as unknown until you try it. If you are wary of cooling, a lower wattage keeps it milder.

What should you expect on the tongue? A reasonable guess, based on the name and the cola and ice tags on the listing, is a sweet, dark, fizzy-leaning inhale with a cold finish. There is no fruit in the title, no cream and no candy, so the flavour should feel more focused than a multi-fruit blend. People who like a canned cola poured over plenty of ice tend to get on with this type of liquid.

Flavour perception is personal, and your device changes it. A restricted pod at low power tends to bring out sweetness. A hotter, airier setup pushes the cooling and any spice forward. Give a new bottle several tanks through a fresh coil before you decide, because a coil that has been running a different flavour carries a little ghosting from the old liquid for the first tank or two.

One honest caveat: this is a description of a flavour family, not a lab sheet. If the exact balance of sweet, cola and cool matters to you, the first bottle is the test, and the 100ml size means you will find out properly rather than from a few puffs.

Who Actually Buys a 100ml Cola Shortfill

Mostly adults who already vape with a tank or refillable pod and want a bigger bottle at a lower price per millilitre than small bottles can offer. If you refill every couple of days, the arithmetic of a large bottle works in your favour, and you are not reordering every week.

It also suits people who like to control their own nicotine level. Because the base is 0mg, some buyers add a single shot for a gentle strength, others add two, and plenty never add any at all. Adults who are moving away from cigarettes and want something stronger usually look at nicotine salts instead, which we cover further down. Those already comfortable with a low-strength mix tend to favour shortfills.

On flavour, this is for people who like soft-drink profiles. If you enjoy cola, iced tea or energy drink style vapes, a cola and ice combination should feel familiar. If dessert liquids and sweet custards are more your thing, this will taste drier and crisper than you are used to. Fruit fans are well served elsewhere in the Bar Series line, so there is no pressure to settle for cola.

On the hardware side, it is for open systems. Anyone running a sealed closed-pod system will need a different product. Our vape kits shelf shows the full spread from beginner pens to sub-ohm tanks, and the kit you pick decides whether a 100ml bottle is even usable.

Who should not buy it? Anyone under 18, without exception. Non-smokers and non-vapers, who have no reason to start with any nicotine product. And anyone who wants a pocket-sized, no-refill experience, since a shortfill is a hobby of small chores: filling, priming, wiping, replacing coils. If that sounds tedious, a ready-made device will suit you better than a bottle will.

It is also worth being clear about one thing. Keep any nicotine shots out of reach of children and pets at all times, and away from anyone in the household who does not already use nicotine.

Price, Volume and Strength in Plain Numbers

The figures on this listing are short, which makes them easy to check. The price is £11.99 for one 100ml bottle of Cola Ice. The strength is 0mg. The format is shortfill. There is no puff count because there is no device, and no multibuy deal is attached to this particular product at the time of writing.

Divide the price by the volume and you get roughly 12p per millilitre. As an illustration only, a small 10ml bottle priced at £4 works out at 40p per millilitre, so a shortfill can cost about a third as much for the liquid itself. That gap is the whole commercial case for the format, though it only counts if you will actually use the volume before the flavour fades.

The nicotine figures depend on what you add. Here is the arithmetic for 18mg/ml shots, assuming a 120ml bottle:

• No shot: 0mg/ml, exactly as supplied.
• One 10ml shot: 180mg of nicotine in about 110ml of liquid, giving roughly 1.6mg/ml.
• Two 10ml shots: 360mg in 120ml, giving 3mg/ml.

Those results assume your bottle is the common 120ml size and your shots are 18mg/ml. A different bottle capacity or shot strength changes the answer, so work it out from the printed labels, not from this page.

If price is the deciding factor, keep an eye on the vape deals page, where current offers across liquids and kits are collected. It is worth a look before you check out, particularly if you are buying more than one bottle or adding a kit to the same order.

Finally, remember the free delivery threshold of £20. A single bottle sits under it, but two bottles come to £23.98 and clear it, which is often the cheapest way to restock a favourite.

Mixing Nicotine Shots Step by Step

Clean hands and a clear, wipeable surface are the starting point. If you do not use nicotine, skip this section entirely; the liquid is ready to vape at 0mg. If you do, the process takes about two minutes.

• Check the label. Confirm the bottle capacity and the strength printed on your shots before opening anything.
• Remove the nozzle. Most shortfill bottles have a push-fit or screw-in dropper tip. Take it out carefully and keep it clean.
• Add the shot. Squeeze the contents of the nicotine shot into the bottle, tilting it slightly to avoid splashing.
• Refit and close. Push the nozzle back in firmly, then screw the cap on tightly.
• Shake for a minute. Give the bottle a proper shake, around thirty to sixty seconds, so the shot disperses evenly.
• Rest it. Leave the bottle to sit for a few hours, ideally overnight. This lets bubbles clear and the mix settle.
• Label it. Write the date and the strength on a sticker. Memory is unreliable and an unlabelled bottle is a hazard.

When it is time to fill the device, work over a tissue, fill to the maximum line only and never over it, and let the coil soak for at least five minutes before the first pull. A dry coil burns, and a burnt coil spoils the flavour of anything you put through it, however good the liquid is.

A few safety points deserve repeating. Nicotine shots are concentrated, so wipe any spills straight away, wash skin with soap and water if there is contact, and never leave open shots lying around. Do not overfill the bottle, as shortfills are built with a precise headroom for a reason, and overfilling leads to leaks, uneven mixing and a stronger result than you intended.

If you pour a little into a dropper bottle for daily use, label that bottle too, and shake the main one before decanting each time.

Devices That Pair Well With This Liquid

A shortfill is only as useful as the device it goes into, so it is worth matching the two before you order. Cola Ice is a standard tank liquid with no stated restrictions, but a few general rules apply to this kind of bottle.

Sub-ohm tanks are the traditional home for shortfills. They run at higher wattage with wide airflow and big coils, and they are designed to handle the thicker, high-VG liquids that shortfills commonly are. If you already own a sub-ohm setup, this is the most straightforward fit, and plenty of tank-and-battery sets are sorted by style if you are shopping for one.

Refillable pod systems are the second option. Many take a standard e-liquid through a fill port and a small coil, and they sit comfortably in a pocket. Their coils are smaller, so very thick liquids can wick slowly. Because Bar Series does not state the VG/PG ratio on the listing, check the label on your bottle, and if you are using a small pod, choose a coil rated for the viscosity you have. Our pod kits cover compact open and closed systems, and the refillable vape pods shelf is the place for replacement pods you can top up from a bottle like this.

What does not work is a sealed, prefilled pod system. If the pod clicks in and cannot be opened, it is not designed to be refilled and you should not attempt to force it. Those devices want their own matched cartridges.

A few matching tips. High power suits a sub-ohm tank, where airflow dilutes the cooling and spreads the sweetness. Low power and a tighter draw suit a pod, where the cola tends to taste fuller and the ice sharper. If you move between devices, remember that the same liquid will taste a little different in each, which is normal and not a fault.

Finally, think about how much liquid your kit actually uses. A pod with a tiny tank will take months to get through 100ml. A sub-ohm tank with a big coil will work through it far faster.

Choosing a Nicotine Strength, or None at All

The most useful decision you will make with this bottle is the strength, and the options are narrower than people expect. At 0mg as supplied, you have a flavoured liquid with no nicotine. Add one 18mg shot and the mix comes out around 1.6mg/ml. Add two and you are at about 3mg/ml. That is the practical ceiling for a standard 120ml shortfill bottle, and it is intentionally modest.

Why does it matter? Strength shapes throat hit and satisfaction. Freebase nicotine at higher strengths feels noticeably harsher at the back of the throat, particularly in a cooling flavour like this one, so shortfills are generally paired with low strengths and high-power devices. Adults who want something more substantial from a pod device usually reach for nicotine salts instead, which are smoother at higher strengths. The nicotine salt e-liquids collection covers 10ml bottles in the strengths those devices expect.

If you are new to vaping, the usual advice is simply to start low and adjust upward only if you need to. We do not recommend anyone start using nicotine for the first time, and the information here is for adults who already use it. Nicotine is addictive, and its effects depend on the individual.

If you want no nicotine at all, you have the simplest route of any buyer: use the bottle as it arrives. Some adults buy 0mg liquids to cut back gradually by diluting their usual strength, and others vape 0mg simply because they like the flavours and the ritual. You can see more options in the nicotine-free e-liquids range, which lists other flavours made without nicotine.

Whichever you pick, change one thing at a time. If you switch device, strength and flavour in the same week, you will not know which change caused the difference you are noticing. Keep notes if it helps, and remember that the cooling in this flavour can make a low strength feel crisper than the number suggests.

Storage, Shelf Life and Keeping Flavour Fresh

Heat, light and air are the three things that age a bottle of e-liquid, and all three are easy to manage once you know about them. Keep your Cola Ice somewhere cool and dark, such as a drawer or cupboard, with the cap fully tightened and the bottle standing upright.

Avoid the obvious traps. A car dashboard in summer, a windowsill, the top of a radiator or a bag left in the sun will all warm the liquid, and warmth speeds up the changes that dull flavour. Over time a bottle can also darken. That is common with liquids that contain sweeteners and flavourings, and a slightly deeper colour does not by itself mean the liquid has gone off, though a sharp change in smell or taste does.

Many makers print a best-before date or batch code on the bottle or box. Check yours, and note that once you have opened a large shortfill and added nicotine, it is sensible to use it within a few months rather than leave it for a year. A 100ml bottle that is opened every day and left half empty has more air in it, and air is not kind to flavour.

• Decant a little at a time. A small dropper bottle for daily use keeps the main bottle closed most of the time.
• Shake before use. Ingredients can settle, especially if the bottle has been resting for weeks.
• Keep it away from children and pets. This applies to the shots even more than the liquid.
• Wipe the nozzle. Residue builds up and attracts dust, which can end up in your tank.

When it is time to throw an empty bottle away, do not pour leftover liquid down a drain. Disposal rules for the bottle and packaging vary by area, so follow your local council guidance. If you are not sure whether your local recycling accepts plastic bottles that held e-liquid, the council website will tell you.

Honest Pros and Cons Before You Order

No bottle suits everyone, so here is a straight account of what you gain and what you give up with this one.

The case for it:

• The cost per millilitre is low, at roughly 12p, which matters if you refill often.
• The 0mg base lets you decide on nicotine yourself, or avoid it altogether.
• Cola and ice is a simple, recognisable flavour with no fruit or dessert layers to work out.
• The large bottle means fewer orders and less packaging over the course of a month.
• It sits in a range with plenty of other flavours, so a second bottle is easy to pick.

The case against it:

• It needs an open device. Sealed closed-pod users cannot use it.
• Adding nicotine means a mixing step, and mistakes are possible if you rush.
• The strength tops out around 3mg/ml with two standard shots in a 120ml bottle, which will feel light to anyone used to nic salts.
• Bar Series does not publish the VG/PG ratio or the cooling intensity on the listing we work from, so you only learn those from the bottle and the first tank.
• A big bottle that you open rarely will age faster than it gets used.

Weigh those up against how you actually vape. If you are a daily tank user who refills often, the pros dominate. If you vape a few times a day on a small pod and want a quick, uncomplicated hit, the cons carry more weight and a ready-made product will be a better fit.

There is one more point in favour of trying a single bottle first. Flavour is subjective, and cola with a cooling note is a polarising pairing. Some people love the crispness; others find a cold finish distracting. The price of a single bottle is low enough that finding out costs you little.

Fixing Leaks, Burnt Taste and Weak Flavour

Most problems with a shortfill come down to a handful of causes, and almost all are fixable at home. Here is how to work through the common ones.

Burnt or harsh taste. This is nearly always a dry or worn coil. Make sure the coil has soaked for five minutes or more, keep the tank above a quarter full, and take shorter, gentler pulls while it settles. If the taste persists after a few refills, the coil is finished. A replacement from the coils range will usually restore the flavour straight away.

Gurgling or spitting. Too much liquid or an over-flooded coil. Blow gently back through the mouthpiece with the tank off the battery, dab away the excess and refill slightly lower.

Leaking. Check that the tank is assembled firmly, that the seals are seated, and that you have not filled past the line. Leaks also occur when a very thin liquid is used in a coil built for thick juice, or after a flight or a long drive when pressure has changed.

Weak flavour. Several things cause this: a coil nearing the end of its life, vaping at a power too low or too high for the coil, flavour fatigue after several hours on the same liquid, or a cold battery or cold room. Try a fresh coil, a different power setting, or a day off the flavour before blaming the bottle.

Cooling too strong. If the ice is more than you wanted, lower the power, open the airflow and consider blending a measured amount with a second, non-cooling flavour in a clean empty bottle. Mixing changes the overall flavour in ways that cannot be reversed, so start with a small batch.

Cloudy or darker liquid. A slight darkening is normal with age. A cloudy appearance after a cold night usually clears once the bottle returns to room temperature.

If none of this helps, the fault may be with the device rather than the liquid. Try the liquid in a second device if you have one, and keep your order number to hand if you need to get in touch.

Delivery, Returns and Age Checks

Here is how buying this bottle from us works in practice. Orders placed before 4pm are processed for dispatch the same working day, and delivery within the UK is free once your basket reaches £20. Two bottles of Cola Ice come to £23.98, so a pair clears the threshold comfortably. The full details, including delivery options, timescales and charges, are on the shipping information page, and it is worth reading before you check out if you have a deadline.

Every item we sell is 100% genuine. That matters more than it sounds with e-liquids, where counterfeit and mislabelled bottles do circulate. If a bottle arrives damaged, leaking or not as ordered, get in touch with your order number and a photo. The shipping page also summarises how returns and faulty goods are handled, so check it for the current terms.

Age checks are a legal requirement and not an optional extra. You must be 18 or over to buy any vaping product, and verification is part of the buying process. Our age verification page explains how the check works, so you can have what you need ready and avoid delays.

A few buying tips to finish. Check that your device is a refillable one before you commit to a 100ml bottle. Buy your nicotine shots at the same time if you want them, as they are a separate item and are not included. Read the label on arrival and note the capacity and batch details. And when the parcel comes, stand the bottle upright and give it a quick look for any weeping around the cap before you put it away.

If you need a hand choosing between formats, strengths or devices, the questions below answer the ones we hear most often about this specific bottle. Whatever you choose, vape responsibly, keep everything out of reach of children, and remember that anyone who does not already use nicotine has no reason to start.
