Bar Series Gold Edition Blueberry Kiwi 100ml at a glance

Bar Series Gold Edition 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Blueberry Kiwi is a nicotine-free fruit liquid sold in a 100ml shortfill bottle, and it is priced at £11.99 here at Vape Shop Online. The strength on the label is 0mg, which means the liquid contains no nicotine as shipped. If you would like a stronger hit, you add nicotine yourself using separate shots, and we walk through exactly how further down this page.

The flavour is a straightforward pairing of blueberry and kiwi, which our catalogue files under the mixed berries family. It belongs to the Gold Edition line from the Bar Series range, a brand known for bold, fruit-first names rather than elaborate dessert blends. Gold Edition is a label the brand uses across its shortfills and its 10ml nic salt packs. Bar Series has not published a technical sheet explaining how it differs from the standard line, so we will not pretend to know. What we can tell you is what the product is, what it costs, how it behaves in a refillable device and what to check before you order.

Think of this page as a buyer's briefing rather than a sales pitch. The headline facts are easy to hold in your head: one flavour, one strength, one bottle size and one price. Everything else depends on how you plan to use the bottle. How much liquid it will really hold once shots go in, which devices suit it and how long it lasts all change from one vaper to the next, so we have split the detail into short sections that you can jump between.

If you want the quick version, here it is. This is a refill liquid for tank and refillable pod devices. It is not a ready-to-use disposable, it will not work in a closed pod kit, and it carries no nicotine unless you add some. If that matches what you were looking for, read on. If it does not, the sections below point you towards the better-fitting parts of the shop.

What a shortfill bottle actually is

Shortfill is a UK-specific idea, and it exists because of how the nicotine rules work. Nicotine-containing e-liquid sold in the UK is limited to bottles of 10ml and to a maximum of 20mg of nicotine per millilitre. Liquid with no nicotine in it is not held to the same bottle-size cap, so brands sell it in much larger bottles. That is a shortfill: a big bottle of nicotine-free liquid, deliberately filled short of the brim, so there is empty space left for you to add nicotine if you want it.

Bar Series Gold Edition Blueberry Kiwi is listed as a 100ml shortfill at 0mg. The 100ml figure is the size on the listing. The actual headroom in your bottle is printed on its label, and that is the number to rely on when you work out how many 10ml nicotine shots will fit. Different shortfills carry different amounts of headroom, so never assume one bottle has the same room as another.

There is a practical upside to the format. Because the liquid arrives without nicotine, you decide the strength at home, one bottle at a time. Vape it as it is, add a single shot for a gentle level, or add two for something firmer. One product therefore covers several preferences, which is handy in a household where two people share a favourite flavour but not a favourite strength.

There is also a trade-off. A shortfill is only useful in a device that you can fill from a bottle. A disposable or a closed pod kit cannot take it, and forcing the issue will damage the hardware. The shortfill e-liquids collection shows the full spread of brands and flavours in this format, while the nicotine-free e-liquids page gathers every 0mg bottle together, including small 10ml options that need no mixing at all.

A word on vocabulary before we move on. You will see "nic shot", "booster" and "nicotine shot" used interchangeably. They all describe a small bottle of concentrated nicotine liquid that you pour into the larger bottle and shake through. The method has its own section below.

How blueberry and kiwi read together in the vape

Blueberry carries the sweetness here, and kiwi keeps it honest. That is the short version of how this pairing generally behaves in a fruit liquid, and it is a sensible expectation for Bar Series Gold Edition Blueberry Kiwi. One caveat first. The brand has not given us an official tasting sheet that we can quote, so what follows describes how these two fruits usually come across, not a promise about this specific bottle.

On the inhale, blueberry tends to arrive as a rounded, slightly jammy sweetness, closer to cooked berries than to a crisp, tart blueberry straight off the bush. Kiwi sits behind it and steps forward near the end of the draw with a green, faintly acidic note that stops the sweetness from piling up. On the exhale the two fruits blur into a general berry-and-green-fruit finish. Nothing in the listing mentions menthol or any cooling agent, so expect a plain fruit profile with no icy kick. If you want chill in your vape, look at a different bottle.

How you set up the device nudges the balance. Lower power and a cooler vapour usually keep the kiwi tartness more noticeable, while more power warms the vapour and pushes the blueberry sweetness forward. Neither is wrong, and the adjustment costs nothing, so try a small change before deciding that the flavour is not for you.

Within the Gold Edition family the brand sells nine other flavours at the same £11.99, including Berry Blast, Grape Raspberry, Honeydew Melon and Strawberry Lime. Against a mixed berry style such as Berry Blast, Blueberry Kiwi is simpler and a little sharper, because only two fruits are talking. Against Strawberry Lime, it is the berry-forward choice rather than the citrus-forward one. If you enjoy blueberry sweets or fruit chews with a green, tangy edge, this is a natural fit. If you dislike tartness of any kind, one of the sweeter blends may suit you better.

Flavour is personal and sweetness tolerance varies, so treat all of this as orientation rather than a verdict. Give any new fruit liquid a full tank before you judge it. The first few puffs on a freshly primed coil can taste muted or slightly odd.

Who this shortfill suits, and who should skip it

Adults who already own a refillable tank or pod kit are the obvious audience for this bottle, and in particular the ones who have tired of buying small bottles one at a time. Every sale on this site is strictly for over 18s, and that applies to this page like any other. A 100ml bottle suits someone who vapes most days and would rather stock up than reorder every week.

It also suits people who like control. Because the bottle ships at 0mg, you choose the strength, and you can change your mind on the next bottle without being locked in. Someone who prefers nicotine-free vaping for the flavour and the habit gets a full bottle with nothing to add. Someone who wants a low level of nicotine gets there with a single shot. Someone who likes to step their strength up or down between bottles can do that with the same flavour, which is awkward to manage with a fixed-strength product.

Who should look elsewhere? Anyone new to vaping who has no hardware yet. A shortfill is a refill liquid, so it needs a tank or refillable pod to go into. A beginner who wants something ready to use straight from the box will be happier with one of our vape kits, which bundle the device and a charging cable, or with a disposable vape that needs no filling at all. You can always come back to shortfills once you know what you like.

It is also the wrong tool if you want something that slips into a pocket with zero fuss. A 100ml bottle is bulky, and decanting into a smaller bottle for the day is a habit you will need to adopt. And if you are sensitive to sweetness, a fruit liquid in a big bottle is a commitment. A 10ml bottle in the same family would be a gentler way to test a flavour before you stock up.

Finally, a reminder about who this is for. Age-verified checkout exists for a reason, and these products are for adults only, so please do not buy a bottle for someone under 18.

The numbers: price, volume and cost per millilitre

Start with the arithmetic, because it is the main argument for this format. The bottle is listed at £11.99 for 100ml. Divide one by the other and you land just under 12p for every millilitre. For contrast, the Gold Edition 10ml nic salt pack of ten in Blueberry Kiwi is listed at £19.99, which is also 100ml in total but works out at close to 20p per millilitre. That is a different kind of product, because nic salts contain nicotine and are made for pod-style devices, so it is not a like for like comparison. It does show the spread in running costs between the two routes.

Here are the listing facts in one place.

• Brand: Bar Series, Gold Edition line
• Flavour: Blueberry Kiwi, filed under mixed berries
• Format: shortfill e-liquid, 100ml listing
• Strength as sold: 0mg, nicotine-free
• Price: £11.99 per bottle
• Cost per millilitre: about 12p

Two notes on delivery cost. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £20, and a single bottle at £11.99 will not reach that on its own. Two bottles come to £23.98, so a second Gold Edition flavour, or a second bottle of this one, clears the threshold comfortably. Orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, which keeps the wait short if you are running low.

Remember that nicotine shots, if you want them, are an extra cost on top, and they are not part of this listing. Coils are a running cost of their own too, so the true price of vaping this way includes a replacement coil every so often. Browse the wider e-liquids range if you would like to compare per-millilitre pricing across other brands before you commit.

The takeaway is simple. For someone who vapes daily in a refillable device, a 100ml bottle usually works out cheaper per millilitre than a stack of small bottles, and you get a lot more vaping out of each delivery.

Adding nicotine shots, step by step

Skip this section entirely if you plan to vape the liquid at 0mg. For everyone else, mixing is easy, but it goes better when you do it in the right order and in a tidy spot.

• Check the headroom. Read the label on your bottle to see how many 10ml shots it can take. Do not guess, and do not add more than the label allows.
• Clear a surface. Work over a towel or a tray. Nicotine liquid is slippery and unforgiving on worktops and carpets.
• Open the bottle. Twist off the cap, and if the shortfill has a narrow nozzle, pull it out so you can pour freely. Keep the nozzle somewhere clean.
• Pour in the shot. Open the nicotine shot bottle and tip the contents in slowly. If you are using two shots, add them one at a time.
• Close up. Put the nozzle and cap back on firmly. A loose cap is how most mixing accidents happen.
• Shake well. Give the bottle a hearty shake for about a minute, then a second round a few minutes later. Nicotine liquid and flavoured liquid mix more evenly with a little patience.
• Let it rest. A few hours is ideal. Overnight is better if you can wait, and a mixed bottle often tastes a little rounder after a rest.
• Label it. Write the strength and the date on the bottle, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

A few extra tips are worth repeating. Wipe up any spill straight away and wash your hands afterwards. Use only nicotine shots made for vaping, and avoid mixing different brands of shots in one bottle if you can help it. If you change your mind about strength next time, you do not need to throw anything away; the remaining 0mg bottles are unchanged until you add a shot.

Choosing a strength: zero, one shot or two

Here is the sum that settles most strength questions. A common nicotine shot is 10ml at 18mg per millilitre, so one shot carries 180mg of nicotine in total. Add it to a 100ml bottle and you have 110ml of liquid with 180mg in it, which is roughly 1.6mg per millilitre. Add a second shot into a bottle with room for it and you have 120ml containing 360mg, which comes to 3mg per millilitre.

• No shots: 0mg, exactly as sold
• One 18mg shot: roughly 1.6mg per millilitre
• Two 18mg shots: roughly 3mg per millilitre

Those figures assume 18mg shots and a bottle that really holds 100ml of liquid before the shots go in. Real-world mixing varies a little, so treat the numbers as close rather than exact, and check the maths again if your shots are a different strength.

Which level suits you depends on how you vape. Large, airy devices such as sub-ohm tanks produce a lot of vapour per puff, and that is why shortfills tend to be mixed at low strengths. Zero is perfectly normal. One shot is a common middle ground, and two is where many people stop. If you start low and find the throat hit too light, you can add a shot to the next bottle. Going the other way is harder, because once nicotine is in the bottle it stays there.

Some adults want more than a shortfill mix can comfortably give. The answer there is usually a different product entirely: a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid at 10mg or 20mg in a small pod device. Nic salts are popular with adults switching from smoking and are built for that job, and UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per millilitre across the board. If you cannot decide, begin with the lowest level you think you will be happy with. You can always go up on the next bottle.

Tanks, coils and refillable pods that suit this liquid

Not every refillable device is a good home for every liquid, and it is worth a minute to check before you pour. The most important detail is the thickness of the liquid, which depends on the ratio of vegetable glycerine to propylene glycol. The listing does not state that ratio, so look at the label on your bottle. As a general rule, thicker liquids suit open, high-power setups, while thinner ones suit tighter, low-power draws.

In practice that points shortfills like this one towards sub-ohm tanks and larger refillable kits. These devices have wide fill ports, big wicking holes and coils designed to take lots of liquid, which is why the 100ml format has become so popular among tank users. Check the markings on the coil itself, because most are stamped with a recommended wattage range. Staying inside that range gives you the cleanest flavour and the longest coil life.

Refillable pods are a more varied story. Some accept standard bottle fills and are happy with a wide range of liquids, while others are made for thin nic salts and may struggle with a thicker shortfill. If you are weighing up a pod device, browse our refillable vape pods and read the product page for the coil resistance and the intended liquid type before you buy. The same logic applies when you replace parts. Match the replacement to your kit, not to the flavour.

Coils are the thing you will change most often, and the coils collection lists replacements by device. Fruit liquids with a lot of sweetener tend to shorten coil life a little compared with plain or lightly flavoured ones, so expect to change the coil every week or two with daily use. The signs are a muted flavour that priming will not fix, a slightly burnt edge to the vapour or a coil that gurgles even though the tank is not overfilled.

If your kit takes closed, pre-filled pods only, a shortfill is not compatible. Nothing here changes that.

First fill, priming and fixing common problems

A new coil needs a few minutes before it behaves, and skipping that wait is the most common reason a good liquid gets a bad first impression. Fill the tank without overfilling, leave it to soak for five to ten minutes so the cotton in the coil can absorb the liquid fully, and only then start vaping. Take a few gentle puffs at first without firing at full power. If you rush this step, you may taste burnt cotton and shorten the life of the coil.

Here is how to fix the usual problems.

• Flat or muted flavour: usually an old coil, a tank that is nearly empty or a dose of flavour fatigue after a long session. Try a fresh coil, a top-up, or a different flavour for a day.
• Burnt or harsh taste: the coil is dry or the power is too high. Let the coil soak, lower the wattage a notch and avoid chain vaping.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the chamber. Wipe the mouthpiece, take a couple of dry puffs and check the airflow is not blocked.
• Leaking: check the seals, make sure the tank is assembled firmly and avoid filling above the max line.
• Bitter or soapy aftertaste: sometimes a sign that the coil is at the end of its life, or that a mixed bottle was not shaken thoroughly.

Fruit liquids can also cause "vaper's tongue", where the taste seems to fade after a few days of the same flavour. Changing flavours for a short time or drinking some water often brings it back. It is a quirk of how our senses tire of a repeated taste, not a sign that the liquid has changed.

If a problem persists after a new coil and a fresh fill, the issue is probably with the device rather than the bottle. Our FAQ page covers common questions on setup, and the support team will help if you get stuck.

Storage, shelf life and keeping the flavour fresh

Heat, light and air are the three things that age e-liquid, and all three are easy to keep in check. Store the bottle upright, with the cap on tight, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. A cupboard or a drawer is fine. The windowsill, the car dashboard and the shelf above a radiator are not, because warmth and UV light slowly dull flavours and can darken the liquid.

Most e-liquids carry a best-before date on the label or the box, and it is worth checking before you buy a larger bottle than you will finish. An unopened shortfill generally keeps well for a long time if stored properly. Once you have opened it and started dipping the nozzle into tanks, the clock runs faster, because every time you open the cap air gets in. A 100ml bottle that you use daily will be finished well within a reasonable window. One that sits half full for months will not taste the same by the end.

Mixed bottles need a little more care. If you have added nicotine shots, label the bottle with the strength and the date, and keep it somewhere children and pets cannot reach. Nicotine liquid is poisonous if swallowed, and bright fruit packaging is attractive to small children. Fit the child-resistant cap properly every time, even when you only plan to be away for a moment.

Some vapers like to let a mixed bottle steep for a day or two, loosening the cap for a few hours so the liquid breathes before retightening. Steeping is a matter of taste rather than a requirement, and a shortfill that has been shaken properly is ready to vape after a few hours. If you notice a liquid has turned much darker than when you bought it, or smells noticeably different, trust your senses and do not use it.

Finally, decant sensibly. If you move liquid into a smaller bottle for carrying, use a clean, labelled bottle and keep the original for reference. A small bottle with no label is a hazard in a bag.

An honest look at the pros and cons

Every format has trade-offs, and this one is no exception. Here is how Bar Series Gold Edition Blueberry Kiwi stacks up on balance.

What works in its favour

• A low cost per millilitre, at about 12p, for anyone who vapes in a refillable device every day.
• A simple two-fruit flavour that is easy to describe and easy to live with.
• You pick the strength, from nicotine-free up to the mix you prefer, and you can change it with each bottle.
• One bottle goes a long way, so reordering happens less often.
• Part of a ten-flavour Gold Edition set at one price, which makes it easy to try a second flavour alongside it.

What counts against it

• It needs a refillable device. It is of no use in a disposable or a closed pod kit.
• It ships at 0mg, so anyone who wants nicotine has to buy shots separately and mix.
• The listing does not state the liquid thickness, so you must check the label to match it to your coil.
• The bottle is large and not pocket friendly, and decanting is a chore.
• A tangy kiwi note will not suit everyone, especially anyone who prefers dessert-style sweetness.

Weighing the two lists, the biggest deciding factor is hardware. If you already own a tank or refillable pod that takes a bottle fill, almost every item on the second list shrinks to a minor inconvenience. If you do not, the first list hardly matters, because the bottle cannot be used at all until you have somewhere to put it. Decide on the device first, then the flavour.

Overall, it is a sensible, no-nonsense buy for someone with the right hardware and a taste for berry-and-green-fruit flavours. If you are building a larger order, take a look at the vape deals page, since multibuys and bundles can change the sums noticeably.

Alternatives, delivery, returns and age checks

If this exact flavour is not quite right, the brand has plenty of other options at the same price. Browse the full Bar Series collection to compare the other Gold Edition flavours alongside the 10ml nic salt packs. Honeydew Melon and Grape Raspberry are the natural next steps if you want to move away from the berry-and-kiwi profile, while Strawberry Lime leans brighter and tangier. Anyone who prefers a ready-to-use option should look at kits or disposables instead, and anyone who wants a higher nicotine strength than a couple of shots can give should look at the nic salt range.

On delivery, free UK delivery applies to orders over £20, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Everything is packed discreetly in plain packaging. Our delivery and returns page sets out the service options, timings and the conditions that apply if something goes wrong, so it is worth a read before you order. If a parcel arrives damaged or the wrong item has been sent, get in touch through the contact page with your order number and a photo, and the team will take it from there.

On age checks, vaping products are for adults only. Checkout includes age verification, and our age verification page explains what we ask for and why. You should have a valid form of ID ready, and it is normal for a delivery to be refused if the courier cannot confirm that the recipient is old enough.

Everything we sell is 100% genuine, and the details on this page are taken from our own listing. If you spot anything on this page that does not match what arrives, tell us. We would rather correct a listing than leave a customer guessing.
