Good quality all round
Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
Bar SeriesThe Lime Raspberry Cherry Bar Series Gold Edition 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid by Bar Series in Lime Raspberry Cherry at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Bar Series Gold Edition 100ml Shortfill E-Liquid Lime Raspberry Cherry is a fruit-flavoured vape liquid in a 100ml bottle, priced at £11.99 and listed at 0mg. In plain terms, that means the liquid contains no nicotine as supplied, it is made for refillable tanks and pods, and it is the sort of bottle people buy when they want a large amount of one flavour for a modest outlay. The name tells you the flavour before you read anything else: lime, raspberry and cherry, blended into a single liquid.
It belongs to the Bar Series range, a brand that sells far more than bottled liquid. Regular customers will know it for devices as well, so the Gold Edition label on this bottle is best read as one product line among several rather than a brand of its own. The Gold Edition run covers ten flavours in this 100ml size, and Lime Raspberry Cherry is the one that pairs a sharp citrus fruit with two red ones.
Here are the essentials, set out so you can skim them.
A shortfill is not the same thing as a ready-made nic salt bottle or a disposable. It is a bulk liquid that you pour into a device yourself, and if you want nicotine in the mix, you add it separately using nicotine shots. If that process is unfamiliar, do not worry. Later sections walk through it slowly, covering the sums, the mixing steps and the small mistakes that catch out first-timers.
This page deliberately sticks to what the listing confirms. We do not state a VG to PG ratio, an exact liquid volume or a promise about how long a bottle will last, because those details sit on the label or depend on how you vape. Where a fact lives on the bottle rather than in our data, we say so plainly. If you would like to compare this bottle with other brands before deciding, the full shortfill e-liquid collection lets you browse by price and flavour side by side.
Three-fruit names can feel vague, so it helps to think about what each fruit usually contributes to a vape liquid. Lime is the brightest of the three. It tends to arrive first, with a tart, zesty edge that wakes up the front of the palate. Raspberry sits in the middle, offering a sweet-sour berry note that is rounder than lime but lighter than something like blackcurrant. Cherry comes through as the sweeter layer, often closer to cherry sweets than to fresh stone fruit.
Put together, the combination leans towards sharp and juicy rather than rich and dessert-like. The listing tags the flavour as raspberry, cherry, lime and mixed berries, which fits that picture: a red-fruit blend with a citrus lift. Nothing in the name suggests a menthol or ice finish, so do not expect a cooling sensation on the exhale. If you want a chill, another flavour in the range will serve you better.
A fair caution before you buy. Flavour is subjective, and we have not put a taste score on this bottle. One person's tangy is another person's sour. Lime in particular divides opinion, because in a vape it can come across as sherbet-bright to some people and faintly soapy to others if the power setting is pushed too high. If you are unsure whether you enjoy lime in a liquid, begin at a lower wattage or a looser airflow and see how it behaves.
Within the Gold Edition line there are neighbouring flavours worth knowing about if you want to compare. Strawberry Lime pairs the same citrus with one sweeter fruit. Grape Raspberry swaps in grape for the lime and cherry. Berry Blast is a berry-led option. Apple Watermelon, Banana Mango, Blueberry Kiwi, Fizzy White Grape, Honeydew Melon and Pineapple Peach Watermelon complete the set. If Lime Raspberry Cherry sounds close but not quite right, those are the nearest alternatives, and each of them is also priced at £11.99.
Because the base is nicotine-free, the fruit is not competing with a harsh nicotine bite unless you choose to add shots. That generally lets the flavour come through more clearly at 0mg than in a strongly dosed mix. Browsing the wider e-liquids range is a good way to see where a sharp, fruit-led flavour like this one sits against sweeter, creamier or cooler profiles.
Shortfill exists because of how UK rules treat nicotine. Liquid that contains nicotine can only be sold in bottles of up to 10ml, and refillable tanks are limited to 2ml of capacity. Nicotine-free liquid is not covered by the 10ml bottle limit, which is why a 100ml bottle of 0mg liquid can sit on the same shelf as the small bottles most people picture when they think of e-liquid.
The word "short" refers to empty space rather than missing flavour. Shortfill bottles are normally larger than the volume of liquid inside, which leaves headroom for nicotine shots. A shot is a separate 10ml bottle of nicotine in a neutral base. Pour one or more in, shake thoroughly, and you have a larger batch at a strength you chose yourself. Leave the headroom empty and you simply have nicotine-free liquid, ready to use as it comes.
Two points often trip up first-time buyers. First, nicotine shots are not included in the price of the liquid. They are bought separately, and the number your bottle can take is printed on its label, not on this page. Second, the label is also where you will find the exact liquid volume and the maximum fill line. We do not guess at those figures because the product listing does not state them.
This format suits anyone who already owns a refillable device, or who is buying one. It does not suit sealed formats. Disposable vapes arrive prefilled and cannot be topped up, and closed pod kits use cartridges built for a particular liquid. A shortfill is aimed at larger tanks and open pods where you control the filling.
If you are still deciding between formats, nicotine salt e-liquids are the usual alternative. They come in small ready-to-use bottles with nicotine already blended in, and they are typically chosen for compact pod devices and low-power kits. A 100ml shortfill is a different tool for a different job: more liquid, a lower price per millilitre, and the freedom to choose your own strength, at the cost of a little extra effort at the start.
£11.99 for 100ml works out at just under 12p per millilitre, which is the cleanest way to compare any e-liquid because it ignores bottle size and branding. Below is what the listing states, followed by what it leaves to the label.
For context, consider a small ready-made bottle on a multibuy. Our 5 for £10 e-liquids page lists bottles at five for £10, which is £2 each. If each is a 10ml bottle, that is 20p per millilitre. The shortfill is cheaper per millilitre, but the comparison is not like for like, because small nicotine bottles arrive ready to vape while a shortfill needs shots if you want any nicotine at all.
Shots add to your total spend, so include them in your own sums. Each one is a 10ml bottle, so it adds both nicotine and volume. As a general guide, assuming a bottle that holds 100ml of liquid with room for extras and standard 18mg shots, the arithmetic runs like this.
Treat those figures as a guide rather than a specification for this exact bottle. If the label shows a different liquid volume or a lower maximum fill, your result will differ, so check it before you pour anything.
One practical pricing note. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, and a single bottle at £11.99 sits below that line. Two bottles come to £23.98, which clears it, so a second flavour is often the cheapest way to avoid a delivery charge. It is also worth glancing at the current vape deals page before you check out, because multibuy offers change over time.
This liquid suits adults who already vape from a refillable device and want a generous supply of a fruity, slightly sharp flavour. If you own a tank or open pod system and you are tired of buying small bottles every few days, a 100ml shortfill removes a lot of that churn. One purchase can keep you topped up for a long time, and the cost per millilitre is low.
It also suits people who prefer to control their own nicotine level. With a 0mg base and shots sold separately, you can mix to a strength that matches your device and your habits, then adjust the next batch if it feels wrong. Anyone who wants to cut back gradually can use the same bottle at different strengths over time, simply by changing how many shots go in.
Some buyers want no nicotine at all. For them, a 0mg shortfill is straightforward: pour it in and vape. If nicotine-free is your goal, the nicotine-free e-liquids collection lists other options, including smaller bottles that are handy for trying a new flavour before committing to a big one.
Who should pass? Anyone under 18, first and foremost. This is an age-restricted product, and our age verification page explains the checks we carry out. It is also the wrong choice for people who want a plug-and-play device with no setup. If you do not own a refillable tank or pod, or you want something you can open and use straight away, a disposable or a prefilled pod kit is simpler.
And if you dislike sharp or sour flavours, think twice. Lime is the leading note here, and while the raspberry and cherry round it out, this is not a creamy dessert liquid or a mellow tobacco. People who enjoy lemonade-style or citrus-berry profiles tend to be the best fit. Anyone who has never used nicotine should not start because of a flavour. Nicotine is addictive, and a 0mg bottle is the sensible way to enjoy the taste without it.
Mixing a shortfill takes about two minutes, and it goes better if you do it deliberately rather than rushing. Start with clean, dry hands and a clear surface. Read the label first to find the maximum fill line and to confirm how many 10ml shots the bottle can accept. If you are unsure, add fewer, never more.
If you add more than one shot, add them one after another with a brief shake in between, which helps you keep count. Never overfill. A bottle filled past its line is hard to shake, can leak, and gives you a mix whose strength you can no longer work out.
One small point on flavour. Shots dilute the taste slightly, so a mixed bottle can come across as a touch milder than the same liquid at 0mg. That is normal and not a fault. Keep mixed bottles well out of reach of children and pets, since nicotine liquid is hazardous if swallowed or spilled on skin. If you would rather skip mixing altogether, the 0mg bottle works perfectly well on its own.
Strength is personal, and no guide replaces your own judgement. With that said, a few common outcomes show how the maths plays out in a 100ml shortfill. These assume standard 18mg shots and a bottle with enough room, and they are a general guide rather than a specification for this particular bottle.
At 0mg, you add nothing. The bottle is nicotine-free and ready to use. This suits adults who only want the flavour, and those who have finished with nicotine and want to keep a vaping routine without it.
At roughly 1.6mg per millilitre, one shot gives a low strength. Adults who vape on open, airy devices often find a low strength is enough, because a large tank delivers a lot of vapour per puff and the amount of nicotine taken in with each draw climbs accordingly.
At 3mg, two shots in a 120ml batch give a moderate mix. This tends to suit frequent users who want a more noticeable hit, though only if the bottle has room for two shots.
Above that, shortfill starts to struggle. Reaching 6mg in a 100ml bottle would need more shots than the usual headroom allows. If you find shots cannot take you high enough, a different format is the better route. Nicotine salt e-liquids come in small bottles at higher strengths, and they are normally used in pod devices and low-power kits rather than big tanks.
A sensible approach is to start lower than you think you need and move up in small steps. If you feel lightheaded, queasy or jittery, stop, take a break and use a lower strength next time. A harsh, scratchy throat hit usually means the strength is too high for your device, or that the power setting is too hot for the coil. The upside of mixing your own is that you can correct course cheaply. If a batch feels wrong, the next one can be made differently, and the finished bottle can be diluted with plain 0mg liquid from a fresh bottle if you need to bring a strong mix down.
Hardware matters as much as the liquid. Because the listing does not state a VG to PG ratio, the best first step is to read it off the bottle and then pick a device that handles that thickness. As a general rule, thicker, higher-VG liquids suit tanks with wide airflow and coils built for bigger clouds, while thinner, higher-PG liquids tend to behave better in tight pod-style devices. If a liquid is too thick for a coil, you will notice gurgling, dry hits or a burnt taste.
For a refillable setup, several categories are worth a look. Refillable vape pods are compact and have a small tank you fill yourself, which makes them a natural home for a bottle like this one. Open pod kits combine a battery with a pod you can refill. Larger setups in the vape kits range often include a tank with adjustable airflow, giving you more freedom to tune how the fruit tastes.
Check the fill method before you buy. Some tanks fill from the top, others from the side or base. Bottle nozzles are usually slim enough for most fill ports, but if a port is unusually narrow, a separate small filling bottle can make life easier.
What does not work is just as important. Disposables and sealed closed-pod cartridges are not designed to be refilled, and attempting it risks leaks and damage. Closed-system cartridges are made for the liquid they ship with. If you own one, stick with its own pods or move to a refillable system.
Tank size also governs how often you fill. UK tanks cap at 2ml, so you will top up regularly, but that is simply how the rules work for everyone. A 100ml bottle makes each refill quick and cheap. If you are new to refillables, start with a simple kit and a standard coil, learn how your device handles this liquid, and only then think about upgrades. You can always step up to something with more power or airflow when you know what you want.
How you fill a device affects how the flavour tastes, so a little care pays off. Switch the device off before you open it. Add liquid slowly to the tank or pod, keeping the liquid below the maximum line and avoiding the central airflow tube. Splashing liquid down that tube floods the coil and causes spitting and gurgling on your first few puffs.
Once filled, give the coil time to soak. A new or newly changed coil is dry cotton, and firing it before the liquid has soaked in is the quickest way to get a burnt taste that never quite goes away. Wait several minutes, take a few gentle draws without pressing the fire button, and only then start vaping at a low power setting. This simple pause is the most reliable way to protect a fresh coil.
Fruit liquids with sharp notes such as lime can be a little tougher on coils than plain flavours, mainly because sweeteners and flavour compounds collect on the cotton over time. You will usually notice it as flavour that fades or turns slightly bitter. When that happens, replace the coil rather than turning up the power. Our coils collection lists replacement heads for popular tanks and pods, and it is worth checking compatibility with your exact device before you order.
A few habits that extend coil life.
Switching flavours without cleaning leaves traces of the old liquid behind, which muddies a delicate blend of lime, raspberry and cherry. If you move between this bottle and a very different one, a quick rinse and a new coil will give each flavour a fair showing. None of this is complicated, but it does make a visible difference to how the fruit comes across.
Store the bottle upright, with the cap closed firmly, somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light degrade e-liquid over time, darkening it and dulling the flavour. A cupboard or drawer works well. Keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times, and away from the kitchen counter where it might be mistaken for something else.
Look at the label for the best-before date rather than relying on a rule of thumb. We do not state a shelf life on this page because it is printed on the bottle. If you have mixed in nicotine shots, note the date you did so and aim to use the batch in good time.

No product suits everyone, so here is a balanced view of Bar Series Gold Edition Lime Raspberry Cherry, based on what the listing and the format tell us.
On the plus side, the price per millilitre is low, at just under 12p, and a single bottle covers a lot of refills. The 0mg base gives you a choice: use it as it is, or add shots to build your own strength. The flavour is a recognisable fruit combination with a citrus edge, which many adults find refreshing compared with heavier dessert liquids. It belongs to a line of ten Gold Edition flavours at the same price, so if you enjoy it, you have an easy route to try the rest.
On the other hand, it is not for everyone. You need a refillable device, so it is no use with disposables or sealed pods. Mixing shots takes a few minutes and a bit of care, and the shots are an extra cost. The listing does not state the VG to PG ratio, so you have to read the label to match it to your hardware. Lime-forward flavours can feel sharp to people who prefer sweet liquids, and nothing in the name suggests a cooling finish.
Weighing it up, this is a sensible choice for adults who already vape from refillable gear and like fruit with some bite. If you want the least effort possible, a ready-made option is simpler. If you want the most flavour for the least money, a 100ml shortfill is hard to ignore. The Bar Series collection shows the brand's other liquids and devices if you want to compare before choosing.
Every order is for adults only, and that applies to this bottle just as much as to a vape kit. You must be 18 or over to buy, and our age verification process exists to keep it that way. The page explains how the checks work and what to expect at the point of order.
On delivery, orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. A single bottle at £11.99 falls below the free delivery threshold, while two bottles at £23.98 clear it. Exact courier options, costs and timings are set out on our shipping page, which is kept up to date, so check it for the latest information before you order rather than relying on a summary here.
Everything we sell is 100% genuine. When your parcel arrives, check that the bottle is sealed, undamaged and the correct flavour. If anything is wrong, take a photo and contact us promptly so we can put it right. Current returns terms are covered on the shipping page and in the FAQ, so read them before you buy if you have a specific concern, particularly because e-liquid is a consumable product.

Bar Series delivers shortfills, gold-edition liquids and prefilled pods that mimic the big-name disposable bar flavour library. Strong value in multibuy-friendly packs.
No, not as supplied. The listing shows the strength as 0mg, so the 100ml bottle is nicotine-free. If you want nicotine, you can add separate 10ml nicotine shots, which are sold on their own. The number of shots the bottle can take is printed on its label, so check that first. Nicotine is addictive, so anyone who does not already use it has no need to start. The bottle is for adults aged 18 or over only.
The bottle is priced at £11.99 for 100ml, which is just under 12p per millilitre. That is a useful figure for comparing against smaller bottles or multibuy offers. Nicotine shots, if you choose to add them, are a separate cost and also add volume to your finished batch, so include them in your own calculations before you decide which size and strength work best for you.
Yes, you can add 10ml nicotine shots to this shortfill. How many fit depends on the bottle, because shortfills are made larger than the liquid inside to leave headroom. The maximum fill is printed on the label, and you should follow it exactly rather than overfilling. After adding a shot, close the cap firmly and shake for at least half a minute, then again a few minutes later, so everything blends evenly.
As general arithmetic, assuming 100ml of liquid, standard 18mg shots and enough room in the bottle, one shot gives about 1.6mg per millilitre in 110ml, and two shots give about 3mg per millilitre in 120ml. Treat these as a guide rather than a specification for this exact bottle, and confirm the maximum fill on your label first. For much higher strengths, a nic salt bottle is usually more practical.
Our listing does not state a VG to PG ratio for this bottle, and we would rather say so than guess. The ratio, along with the exact fill volume and the best-before date, is printed on the label. It is worth reading before you choose a tank, because thicker liquids generally suit wide-airflow tanks and thinner ones tend to suit tighter pod-style devices. If you are unsure, contact our team and quote the flavour.
No. Disposables are sealed and not designed to be refilled, and closed pod kits use cartridges made for their own liquid. A 100ml shortfill is intended for refillable tanks and refillable pods, where you fill the device yourself. Putting liquid into a sealed product risks leaks and damage. If you do not own a refillable device yet, look at our refillable pods, pod kits or vape kits first.
The name and the listing tags point to a sharp, juicy fruit blend. Lime usually brings a tart citrus front, raspberry adds a sweet-sour berry middle, and cherry gives a sweeter, candy-like finish. Nothing suggests a menthol or ice note, so do not expect a cooling sensation. Taste is personal, and lime in particular divides opinion, so a lower power setting is a sensible place to start.
Keep it upright with the cap tightly closed, somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, and away from children and pets. The best-before date is printed on the label, so follow that rather than a general rule. If you have mixed in nicotine shots, write the date on the bottle and use the batch within a reasonable time, as flavour can dull with heat, light and age.
Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. One bottle at £11.99 falls below the threshold, while two bottles at £23.98 clear it.
