Bar Series Gold Edition Honeydew Melon at a Glance

Bar Series Gold Edition 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Honeydew Melon is a nicotine-free melon vape liquid in a large 100ml bottle, priced at £11.99 on this page. Four details in our listing are firm: the brand is Bar Series, the format is a shortfill, the strength is 0mg, and the flavour is honeydew melon. Everything else you read below is either plain arithmetic, a general UK rule, or a careful description of how a honeydew-style flavour usually behaves in a vape. We have kept it that way deliberately, because made-up tasting notes and invented specifications help nobody choose a bottle.

Here is the short version for anyone skimming.

• Format: 100ml shortfill e-liquid for refillable tanks and refillable pods
• Strength: 0mg as supplied, with nicotine added separately if you want any
• Flavour: honeydew melon
• Label: Gold Edition, one of several lines in the Bar Series range
• Price: £11.99 per bottle
• Age: strictly 18+ to buy, hold or use

Bar Series is a name many UK adults know from disposable devices, and the brand also sells bottled liquids. This one belongs with the shortfill e-liquids we stock, which are made for people who refill a tank or pod rather than bin a device when it runs flat.

If you have only ever used disposables, a shortfill is a different routine. You buy liquid, you put it into your own hardware, and that hardware lasts for months rather than days. If you already refill, this is simply another flavour in a familiar size. Either way, the sections below cover how the format works, what honeydew melon tastes like, how to add nicotine, which kit suits it and what to do when something misbehaves.

One note on character. Honeydew is a gentle, sweet fruit, so this is a mild-mannered liquid rather than a punchy one. That suits plenty of adults who find sharp or icy profiles tiring by mid-afternoon. It will not suit everyone, and the pros and cons section says so plainly.

How a 100ml Shortfill Bottle Works in the UK

UK law limits bottles of nicotine e-liquid to 10ml and caps strength at 20mg/ml, so a big bottle of ordinary nicotine liquid simply cannot be sold. A shortfill gets around that in a perfectly legal way: it ships with no nicotine in it, which is why this Honeydew Melon bottle is listed at 0mg and why it can hold 100ml.

The clever part is the headroom. Most shortfill bottles are made larger than their labelled contents, so there is empty space at the top. That space exists for nicotine shots, which are small 10ml bottles of concentrated nicotine liquid, commonly 18mg/ml. Tip one or two into the bottle, shake, and the whole lot becomes a low-strength nicotine liquid. Skip the shots and you have a 0mg liquid ready to vape as it comes. Check the label on your own bottle to see how much room it was built with, because we will not guess at a number we have not seen printed for this product.

It helps to be clear about what this format is not. It is not a disposable, which is a sealed device with liquid already inside. It is not a closed pod, which is a prefilled cartridge that clips into a kit. It is also not a nic salt bottle, which is a 10ml bottle of a different type of nicotine liquid with its own strength range. A shortfill is raw liquid, and you decide what goes into it and what it goes into.

That choice is the appeal. You can fill a refillable tank, top up a refillable pod, or run it in a larger device built for bottled liquid, so long as your hardware takes bottled liquid at all. You can keep it at 0mg or mix a low strength. And because you buy the volume in one go, working out the cost of each millilitre becomes easy, which we do a little further down.

If you want to see the wider category before committing to a flavour, our nicotine-free e-liquids page lists other zero-strength options, a handy comparison if you are still deciding. Many adults keep two or three flavours on the go and rotate them, and a 100ml bottle makes that rotation affordable.

What Honeydew Melon Tastes Like in a Vape

Honeydew is the pale green melon with the smooth skin, and its flavour is easier to describe by what it avoids. It is not sharp like lime, not perfumed like some cantaloupe styles, and not as loud as watermelon. In a vape liquid, a honeydew profile usually lands as soft sweetness with a juicy, rounded middle and a clean, gentle finish.

A caveat first. Bar Series does not publish official tasting notes that we can quote, so what follows describes how honeydew flavours typically behave in e-liquid rather than a guarantee for this exact bottle. Treat it as a guide, and expect personal taste to vary.

• Inhale: a light, sweet melon note rather than a hard fruit hit, usually smooth on the throat at 0mg
• Middle: juicy and soft, with a faint sugary quality that some people describe as candy-like
• Exhale: a short, clean finish that fades quickly rather than lingering on the tongue

Two things shape how pronounced the melon tastes. First is temperature. Run your device cooler and a delicate fruit like honeydew comes through more clearly; push the power high and the sweetness can turn flat or syrupy. Second is what you vaped before. If you have been using menthol or ice-heavy flavours, a mild melon can seem faint for the first few puffs while your palate resets. Give it a full day before you judge.

Because there is no menthol or ice in the name, expect a warm-tasting, non-chilled vape. Anyone who wants a cooler edge could look elsewhere in the range, but this one is sold as a straightforward melon. If you enjoy the idea of a fruit salad where the melon is the last piece left in the bowl, you will probably get on with it. If you prefer tangy, sour or heavily blended profiles, a single-note melon may feel a little plain.

It also pairs well with a routine. Plenty of adults keep a gentle fruit like this for the morning and the evening, and a sharper or minty flavour for the middle of the day. With a 100ml bottle you can do exactly that without worrying about running out.

Who This Liquid Suits, and Who Should Skip It

Not every adult vaper wants the same thing, so it is worth being blunt about who gets the most from a bottle like this.

It tends to suit:

• Adults who already own a refillable tank or refillable pod and want a soft, easy fruit flavour for all-day use
• People moving away from disposable vapes who are tired of the waste and would rather refill hardware they own, or are thinking of buying
• Vapers who like to control their own nicotine level, including those who prefer 0mg or a very low strength
• Anyone who likes the idea of one big bottle in a drawer rather than a stack of small ones
• Fans of melon, honeydew and other gentle fruit profiles in general

It is probably not for you if:

• You want something you can unwrap and use in seconds with no filling, mixing or cleaning, because a shortfill asks for a few minutes of effort
• You use a closed pod kit that takes prefilled cartridges only, since bottled liquid will not fit it
• You need a high nicotine level, as the shortfill method tops out at fairly low strengths once shots are added
• You prefer strong menthol, sour sweets or heavily blended flavours, because a single-fruit melon may feel too quiet

There is also a middle group. Adults who are switching from smoking sometimes begin on stronger nic salt devices and later move to a lower-strength refillable setup once they know what they like. A bottle like this suits that second stage rather than the first. We offer that as an observation about how people use the category, not as advice on quitting and not as anything to do with health.

One point is not negotiable. This product is for adults aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, or you do not already use nicotine products and are simply curious, a vape liquid, even a 0mg one, is not aimed at you, and we would ask you not to buy it.

Specs, Numbers and the Cost Per Millilitre

Let us put the hard numbers in one place and then do the sums, because shortfills only make sense once you see the cost per millilitre.

• Product: Bar Series Gold Edition 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Honeydew Melon
• Liquid volume: 100ml
• Nicotine strength as supplied: 0mg
• Price: £11.99
• Flavour: honeydew melon

Divide £11.99 by 100 and you get just under 12p per millilitre. Put another way, that is about £1.20 for every 10ml of liquid, which is the size of a standard small UK e-liquid bottle. The comparison is useful because it lets you weigh this bottle against a 10ml nic salt bottle or a prefilled pod at a glance.

Add nicotine and the maths shifts a little. Shots are sold separately, so your true cost per mixed millilitre is the bottle plus the shots, divided by the total volume. We have not listed shot prices here because they vary by brand, but the formula is simple enough to do on a phone.

How long does a bottle last? That depends entirely on you, so treat these as illustrations rather than promises.

• At about 2ml a day, 100ml lasts roughly 50 days
• At about 3ml a day, roughly 33 days
• At about 5ml a day, roughly 20 days

Heavier users on powerful tanks go through liquid faster than those figures suggest, and someone who vapes only in the evening may stretch a bottle across a couple of months.

What we do not know, and will not guess at, matters too. Our listing does not state the VG/PG split, the bottle capacity beyond the 100ml of liquid, or the full ingredient list. Those details are printed on the packaging, so read the label when the bottle arrives, especially if you have sensitivities to particular ingredients.

If you are comparing prices more broadly, our vape deals page is where current offers are listed, which is worth a glance before you check out, in case something you need alongside the liquid is reduced.

Adding Nicotine Shots Without Making a Mess

If you want nicotine in the mix, the process takes about two minutes. If you are happy at 0mg, skip this part entirely and vape the liquid straight from the bottle.

You will need one or two nicotine shots (the 10ml bottles of concentrated nicotine liquid, commonly labelled 18mg/ml), a clean surface and some kitchen roll within reach. The shots are a separate purchase from the shortfill, so add them to your order. Keep them well away from children and pets, because concentrated nicotine liquid should never be left within reach of either.

• Step 1: Wash and dry your hands, then lay out the kitchen roll. Spilled liquid is far easier to deal with on paper than on a worktop.
• Step 2: Unscrew the cap from the shortfill bottle and open the nozzle if it has a sealed tip. Check the label for the intended headroom before adding anything.
• Step 3: Open the nicotine shot as its packaging directs, then squeeze the contents in slowly. Slow is the key word, since a rushed squeeze can splash.
• Step 4: Close the bottle firmly and shake for around thirty seconds so the nicotine blends evenly with the melon liquid.
• Step 5: Leave the bottle to rest for a few hours, then shake it again before filling your tank. Many vapers prefer to wait until the next day.
• Step 6: Write the new strength and the date on a small label. You will be glad you did in a month.

A few habits help. Keep a note of how many shots went in, because after a week you will not remember. Never top the bottle up beyond its stated capacity. And if you only use part of a shot, store the remainder as its own instructions say, rather than pouring leftovers into random containers.

One side effect is worth knowing about. A nicotine shot is mostly nicotine in a plain base with no melon in it, so adding one dilutes the flavour very slightly. The effect is small with one shot and a touch more noticeable with two. If the honeydew seems quieter after mixing, give it a day to settle before concluding anything.

Choosing Your Final Nicotine Strength

Here is where the arithmetic earns its keep. A standard UK nicotine shot is 10ml at up to 20mg/ml, and 18mg/ml is a common choice. Added to 100ml of 0mg liquid, the finished strength works out like this when you use 18mg shots.

• No shots: 0mg/ml, the liquid exactly as supplied
• One 10ml shot: about 1.6mg/ml across 110ml (180mg of nicotine spread over 110ml)
• Two 10ml shots: 3mg/ml across 120ml (360mg of nicotine spread over 120ml), if your bottle has the room

That is why shortfill mixes are usually described as 0mg, roughly 1.5mg, or 3mg. Note the condition on the last line: the headroom limits what is physically possible, so look at the label before you plan a recipe.

Which should you pick? We cannot choose for you, and we are not suggesting that any level is right or wrong. What we can describe is how people tend to decide. Adults who simply like the flavour often stay at 0mg. Those who currently use stronger devices sometimes mix up to 3mg and see how it feels in a larger, airier setup, since a tank delivers plenty of liquid per puff. And adults who find even 3mg too light usually switch to nic salts instead of trying to force more shots into a bottle.

That brings us to nic salts, a different type of nicotine liquid sold in 10ml bottles, usually at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, and designed for small pod kits and low-power devices. The wider Bar Series Gold Edition line includes a Honeydew Melon nic salt pack of ten 10ml bottles in both 10mg and 20mg, so the same flavour exists in that format; check availability on the collection page. Browse our nicotine salt e-liquids if a higher strength suits your hardware better.

Whatever you choose, keep it consistent for a week or two. Changing strength every few days makes it hard to tell what you actually prefer, and it is the most common reason people think a perfectly good liquid is wrong for them.

Matching the Liquid to Tanks, Coils and Pods

Shortfill liquid is happiest in hardware designed for bottled e-liquid, and the right match depends on a handful of details.

Start with the label. If the VG/PG split is printed on your bottle, it guides your coil choice. As a general rule, thicker, VG-heavy liquids work best in lower-resistance coils with generous wicking, whilst thinner, PG-heavier liquids are happier in higher-resistance coils at modest power. Our listing does not confirm the split for this bottle, so we cannot say which camp it falls into.

• Refillable tanks: the classic home for a 100ml bottle. Open the fill port, add liquid up to the maximum line, and leave the coil to soak before the first puff. Replacement parts live in our coils section.
• Refillable pods: many pod systems take bottled liquid through a small fill hole. Choose from our refillable vape pods, and check that the pod's coil suits a standard freebase liquid.
• Complete starter setups: if you do not yet own anything to put the liquid in, browse the vape kits and pick one marked as refillable rather than prefilled.
• Closed pod kits and disposables: not compatible. These use sealed or prefilled parts, so a loose bottle has nowhere to go.

UK rules cap tank capacity at 2ml, which explains why you will be topping up often. A 100ml bottle fills a tank fifty times over, so think of the bottle as a reservoir that lives on the shelf while the tank does the daily work.

Power settings matter for a gentle flavour. Start at the lower end of the range printed on your coil, and nudge up in small steps until the melon tastes full without turning hot or flat. Most coils carry a recommended wattage range on the side or in the manual.

New coil, new habits. Prime it by dripping a few drops directly onto the cotton before you fill the tank, wait five minutes, and take a couple of gentle, unpowered draws before pressing the button. That small routine heads off most early dry hits.

Storing the Bottle and Keeping the Flavour Fresh

E-liquid is forgiving, but heat, light and air will dull it. A delicate fruit like honeydew has the most to lose, because there is no menthol or heavy sweetener to hide behind.

• Keep it cool: a cupboard or drawer away from radiators, windowsills and car dashboards. Heat can darken the liquid and flatten the taste.
• Keep it dark: strong light breaks down some flavour compounds over time, and the original packaging helps.
• Keep it upright and sealed: screw the cap on fully after each fill. Air exposure thins the flavour, and a loose cap invites leaks.
• Keep it labelled: if you added nicotine shots, note the strength and the date directly on the bottle.
• Keep it out of reach: children and pets must not be able to get to it. That applies to 0mg bottles too, and especially to any bottle that now contains nicotine.

Shelf life is worth a mention. Your bottle should carry a best-before date, and it is sensible to use the liquid in good time rather than hoarding it. A bottle opened and used daily should be finished well within a few months for most people, but the printed date is the figure to trust, not our rule of thumb.

Some change is natural. A mixed bottle may darken a little as it ages, particularly once nicotine has been added, and that is common rather than alarming. A sharp, unpleasant smell, a sour or chemical taste, or visible particles floating in the liquid is a different matter, and in that case you should stop using that bottle.

Your tank deserves the same care. If you are changing flavours, rinse the tank with warm water and let it dry fully before refilling, because lingering residue from the last liquid will muddy a delicate melon. If you take a break from vaping for a few days, empty the tank and wipe the base rather than leaving liquid sitting in it. Fresh liquid in a clean tank always tastes better than old liquid in a tired one.

Troubleshooting Leaks, Dry Hits and Flat Flavour

Most problems with shortfills come down to a short list of causes, and nearly all of them can be fixed at home.

• Leaking tank: usually an overfilled tank, a loose base or a worn silicone ring. Fill only to the maximum line, tighten the base, and check the seals for splits.
• Gurgling: condensation around the airflow or chimney. Wipe the tank and chimney, give it a gentle shake, and lower the power if it carries on.
• Dry or burnt hit: the coil is not saturated, the tank is nearly empty, or the power is too high. Refill, let the coil soak for five minutes, and drop the wattage. If the burnt taste lingers, fit a fresh coil.
• Flat or muted melon: often vaper's tongue, a temporary dulling of taste after vaping the same flavour for days. Swap to something different for a day and drink some water. An ageing coil is the other common culprit.
• Harsher throat feel than expected: if you added nicotine, the finished strength may be higher than you are used to. Check your sums, and whether you used the shot strength you intended.
• Cloudy or streaky mix: the shots and the liquid have not fully blended. Shake the bottle again and give it a few hours to settle.

A coil in daily use for a couple of weeks often benefits from replacing, though lifespan varies with power, liquid and habits. A fresh coil is the cheapest fix for most taste complaints, so try that before blaming the liquid.

Not every problem is on your side. If the bottle arrives with a broken seal, has leaked inside the parcel, or turns out to be the wrong product, please contact the team as soon as you can. Photos of the outer packaging and the bottle make it much quicker for us to sort out. And if you are ever unsure whether a symptom or reaction is related to something you have vaped, speak to a pharmacist or doctor rather than relying on a product page.

Honest Pros and Cons

Every product has trade-offs. Here is a balanced view of this bottle, based on what we know from the listing and on how the shortfill format works.

Pros

• Large volume at a modest price, at just under 12p per millilitre
• Nicotine-free as supplied, so adults who want only the flavour can use it straight away
• Room to add nicotine shots and set your own level
• A gentle, single-fruit profile that suits long sessions
• Works in any refillable tank or pod that takes bottled liquid, so the hardware choice stays yours
• Less packaging and fewer discarded devices than a run of disposables

Cons

• It needs separate hardware and, if you want nicotine, separate shots, which adds to the up-front cost
• Mixing and filling take a few minutes and can feel fiddly at first
• It does not work in closed pod kits or disposables
• A single-note melon may feel quiet to anyone who loves ice, sour or layered blends
• The practical maximum strength is low, because of how much nicotine liquid the bottle can hold
• We cannot confirm the VG/PG ratio, so choosing coils involves a little testing

Weighing it up, this is a sensible pick for an adult who already refills a tank or pod, wants a calm fruit flavour for everyday use, and is comfortable doing a bit of hands-on mixing. It is a weaker choice for someone who wants maximum convenience or a high nicotine hit, and those people will be happier with a different format.

If you do enjoy it, the Gold Edition line has other flavours at the same price point, so you can rotate through them without changing your routine or your hardware. Many adults settle on a pair of favourites and reorder them together, which also makes the delivery maths work in your favour, as the next section explains.

Delivery, Returns and Age Checks

Delivery first. UK orders over £20 qualify for free delivery, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched on the same day. One bottle at £11.99 falls short of the free threshold, while two bottles reach £23.98 and clear it. A basket that also holds nicotine shots or a spare coil often crosses the line anyway, so build your order around everything your setup needs rather than ordering in dribs and drabs. Everything we sell is 100% genuine stock.

Our shipping and delivery information covers the detail: carriers, expected timings, weekend and bank holiday cut-offs, and how returns and refunds are handled. If you have a deadline, or a specific question about sending something back, read that page before ordering, because the terms there take precedence over any summary on a product page.

Age checks come next. Vaping products, including 0mg liquids like this one, are for adults aged 18 and over only. We may ask you to verify your age before dispatch, and an order can be held or cancelled if we cannot confirm that an adult is buying and receiving it. The age verification process is explained on its own page, so you will know what to expect before you reach the checkout.

When the parcel arrives, a few quick habits save trouble later.

• Open it promptly and check the bottle for leaks, a damaged cap or a broken seal
• Read the label for the best-before date and the full ingredient list
• Check your basket included everything your setup needs, since nicotine shots, tanks and coils are separate items
• Store the bottle somewhere cool, dark and out of reach of children and pets
• Recycle empty bottles and spent coils according to your local council guidance

That covers what a careful buyer wants to know before ordering. If anything is still unclear, ask us and you will get a straight answer rather than a sales line.
