Bloody BarThe Strawberry Watermelon Gum Bloody Bar 60K Prefilled Refill Pods by Bloody Bar in Strawberry Watermelon Gum at 10mg and 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Bloody Bar 60K Prefilled Refill Pods in Strawberry Watermelon Gum are factory-sealed replacement cartridges for the Bloody Bar 60K pod system, listed here at £6.99 each in a choice of 10mg or 20mg nicotine salt. That is the whole product: a pod with the liquid, wick and coil already built in. There is no battery in this listing and no charger, so "refill" means a pod that replaces a spent one, not something you pour liquid into.
The naming catches people out, so it is worth being plain. A prefilled pod is a sealed consumable that you click into a reusable device and recycle when it runs dry. A refillable pod is a different animal, one you top up from a bottle. If the bottle-and-tank routine is what you actually want, there is a section further down that covers the trade-offs.
Strawberry Watermelon Gum sits in the fruit-and-sweets corner of the range. Strawberry and watermelon are the two headline fruits, and the "gum" in the title points to a bubblegum-style sweetness layered over the top. The store's own flavour tagging for this pod lists strawberry, watermelon, bubblegum and mixed berries, which gives a fair picture of where the profile sits before you get to the detailed tasting notes below.
The pod belongs to Bloody Bar, a brand with 48 products on this site, all gathered on the Bloody Bar collection. The 60K pods are one of several lines within it, and they belong to the wider family of prefilled vape pods: sealed units made to be clicked into a device you keep, rather than thrown away with the battery attached.
This page is organised so you can jump to what matters to you. It covers how the pod works, what the flavour is likely to taste like, how to choose a strength, whether it will fit your hardware, how to store it, what can go wrong and how delivery and returns work. One rule applies throughout: these pods contain nicotine, which is addictive, and they are for adults aged 18 or over who already smoke or vape. They are not for non-smokers, and they are not for anyone under 18.
Pick one up and it looks like a small plastic cartridge with a mouthpiece at one end and a pair of metal contacts at the other. Everything that makes vapour is tucked inside that shell, apart from the battery, which stays in the device.
The liquid sits in a sealed reservoir. A wick, usually cotton or a similar fibre, runs from the reservoir to a heating coil, soaking up e-liquid and presenting it to the element. When you draw, the device senses the airflow and sends current through the coil, which warms the liquid into vapour. That vapour travels along a narrow channel to the mouthpiece. Stop drawing and the circuit switches off. Because the coil is part of the pod, each new pod brings a new coil, so the flavour stays consistent from the first pod in a batch to the last instead of dulling as one coil clogs over several weeks.
The nicotine in this range is a salt formulation. Nicotine salts pair nicotine with an organic acid, which lowers the pH and makes the vapour feel gentler on the throat at a given strength than older freebase liquids do. That is why the pod is sold at 10mg and 20mg rather than the 3mg or 6mg you would see on a bottle of traditional juice. The numbers look high on paper, but the throat hit is softer than they suggest, and the nicotine arrives quickly. If you are curious about the same chemistry in bottled form, the nicotine salt e-liquids range shows how it is sold for refillable devices.
One legal point shapes the whole format. UK rules cap nicotine liquid at 20mg per millilitre and limit a pod to 2ml. That explains why the pod is small, why the strength stops at 20mg, and why the sensible way to get a long day out of the system is to carry spare pods rather than expect one cartridge to do the work of a bottle.
The practical upshot is a low-maintenance routine with no coils, no loose liquid and no tools. The price of that convenience is a higher cost per millilitre and some lock-in to one device, both covered in the pros and cons later on.
Start with the fruit. Strawberry in vape flavours is rarely a fresh-picked, slightly tart garden berry. It leans towards the jammy, candied end: sweet, rounded and a little perfumed, closer to a strawberry sweet or milkshake syrup than to the fruit itself. Watermelon follows a similar rule. It tends to arrive as light, juicy and sugary rather than green or rind-like, more like a watermelon chew than a cold slice from the fridge.
Then there is the gum. In e-liquid naming, gum normally means a pink, sweet bubblegum note instead of mint chewing gum, and that fits the bubblegum tag attached to this pod in the store's flavour data. Its job is to round the fruit off. Where the strawberry and watermelon supply brightness, the gum adds a soft, faintly creamy sweetness that hangs around on the tongue after the exhale.
Expect the profile to unfold in roughly that order: berry first, melon through the middle, gum at the finish. Nothing in the name mentions ice or menthol, so it is not intended as a cooling flavour. If you want strawberry with a chill, look at Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice in the same line. If the melon is what appeals but you would like it frosty, Watermelon Ice sits alongside it at the same £6.99.
A fair warning about sweetness. Blends like this live at the sugary end of the spectrum, and some adults find that a single sweet flavour wears thin after a day or two. If that sounds familiar, keep a second pod in a different style on hand, perhaps Strawberry Kiwi for another fruit pairing or Fresh Mint for something cleaner, and alternate between them. Palate fatigue is a normal reaction to sweet flavours and not a sign of a faulty pod.
One honest caveat. Tasting notes are guidance, not guarantees. The description above comes from the flavour name and the store's tagging rather than from tasting notes supplied by the manufacturer, and individual palates, nicotine strength and your draw style all shift what you actually taste. Gentle, steady draws usually keep this kind of flavour clean, while hard, long pulls can push it towards a hotter, more caramelised sweetness.
Sweet flavours attract a recognisable kind of buyer, and it helps to know whether you are one of them. Strawberry Watermelon Gum tends to suit adult smokers and vapers who like sweet-shop or dessert-style profiles and want something clearly flavoured rather than neutral or tobacco-like. It is also a sensible pick for people who already own the Bloody Bar 60K device and want to rotate away from the same two or three flavours they have been working through.
Plenty of adults who have moved away from cigarettes like fruit-led pods, partly because a sweet vapour tastes nothing like tobacco and some people prefer that clean break from the old flavour. That is a matter of taste, not a claim about health, and nothing here is advice to start. If you do not smoke or vape already, this is not a product for you. Nicotine is addictive whatever the flavour is called.
Think about when and where you will use it. Fruit-and-gum vapours carry a noticeably sweet scent, which some people enjoy and others find intrusive in shared spaces such as cars or small rooms. Many adults settle into a sweeter pod in the evening and something lighter during the day, which is one more reason to keep two flavours rotating.
Who should look elsewhere? If you want a cooling hit, choose one of the Ice variants. If you like sharp or sour profiles, the tangier blueberry options in the line will suit better. If you want mint, Fresh Mint is in the same range. And if you want a tobacco taste, this line is not the place, because the 60K pods are built around fruit, ice and candy flavours.
The good news about a 20-flavour line at a single price is that guessing wrong costs little. At £6.99 you are trying a full pod of a different profile, not a tiny sample, so there is no great penalty for finding out that gum and watermelon is not your thing and moving along to another flavour. Just remember that opened pods cannot be returned, so choose with some care.
Here is the quick fact sheet for this listing, based on what the store actually holds on file.
You will notice there is no battery size, liquid volume or charging time in that list. Those details belong to the device and the manufacturer's packaging, and we would rather leave a gap than print a figure we cannot stand behind.
The one number that needs unpacking is 60K. It is the name of the product line and a headline puff rating for the system, not a promise about any single pod. Because UK rules limit a pod to 2ml, one cartridge cannot hold anything like tens of thousands of puffs' worth of liquid. In ordinary use a small nicotine salt pod gives something in the region of a few hundred puffs, and the real figure swings widely between light and heavy users. So treat the 60K label as shorthand for a large system and budget by the pod instead.
If you enjoy comparing headline ratings across the market, the 50000 puff vapes collection shows how other big-format products are labelled, and a quick look makes the point that these figures describe scale and not a measured result. Whatever the number on the box says, the most reliable guide is your own experience: buy one pod, note how many days it lasts with your habits, and work out your stock level from that.
Nicotine strength has the biggest effect on how this pod feels, so it deserves a proper decision. Both options are nicotine salt, measured in milligrams per millilitre. In percentage terms, 10mg is 1 per cent and 20mg is 2 per cent. Twenty is the legal ceiling in the UK, so nothing stronger is sold legitimately.
20mg is usually picked by adults who smoke heavily, around a pack a day or close to it, and want the pod to settle a strong craving without constant top-ups. Salts are smoother than freebase liquid, so 20mg is easier to tolerate than the number suggests, but it is still the firmest option available and it delivers nicotine quickly. Frequent short puffs at this strength add up fast.
10mg fits lighter smokers, existing vapers who want something gentler, and anyone who finds 20mg harsh, dizzying or headache-inducing. It also gives you room to adjust over time, which many adults appreciate. If you cannot decide, 10mg is the cautious choice: you can step up on the next order, whereas feeling unwell from too much nicotine is an unpleasant way to learn.
Sweetness adds a wrinkle worth knowing about. Candy-fruit flavours like this one mask harshness well, which makes it easy to take more nicotine than you intended, especially at 20mg. If you notice that you are drawing far more often than usual, or you feel nauseous, light-headed, jittery or have a racing heartbeat, stop, take a break and consider dropping to the lower strength.
This line does not go below 10mg. Adults who want to cut back further, or who only want the flavour and the hand-to-mouth habit, can look at the nicotine-free e-liquids range as a separate route. For personalised advice about smoking, a pharmacist or local stop smoking service is the right place to start, and nothing on this page should be read as medical guidance. Whichever strength you choose, keep pods away from children and pets, and remember that nicotine is addictive.
Before you click anything into place, check the battery. A nearly flat device produces thin, patchy vapour that is easy to mistake for a faulty pod, so a decent charge is the first job. After that, the routine takes only a couple of minutes.
Taking a pod out is just as simple. Pull it straight back without twisting, and keep the metal contacts on both the pod and the device clean and dry. A speck of residue on the contacts can interrupt the connection, and a dry cloth or cotton bud is usually enough to put things right. Avoid water and cleaning products on the device.
Sweet liquids like this one can leave a slightly stickier film around the contacts and mouthpiece than a fruit-and-ice profile, so a quick wipe each time you change pods is a good habit. Treat the first pod in any new box as a test run, too. Check that the draw is smooth, that the flavour is what you expect and that nothing is seeping around the base. A genuine, correctly stored pod should work as described straight out of the pack, and if anything seems wrong it is better to say so early.
The one question to settle before you order is whether you already own the hardware. These are replacement pods intended for the Bloody Bar 60K system, and pods in this category are almost always proprietary. A cartridge built for one device generally will not fit another, even when both carry the same brand name, and mismatched pods are the biggest source of avoidable returns.
That includes other Bloody Bar lines. The 3000-puff pods, for instance, are a separate product, and they should not be assumed to fit a 60K device or the other way round. If you are not sure which version you own, check the markings on the device or the original packaging, or ask the team before buying.
If you are starting from scratch, a kit is usually the smarter first purchase. The store lists the Bloody Bar 60K Puffs Prefilled Pod Kit in Strawberry Watermelon Gum at £10.99, and 4-in-1 Bloody Bar 60K kits at £9.99. The gap between a pod and a full starter set is small, and the Strawberry Watermelon Gum kit costs less than two spare pods would at £13.98 between them, since it supplies the hardware as well as a first pod. Systems built around sealed, non-refillable cartridges are grouped under closed pod kits, and the full vape kits collection lets you compare battery sizes, pod styles and formats side by side if you want to look beyond this brand.
Think about the condition of your device as well. A pod is only as good as the battery behind it. If your current device has been in daily use for many months and is beginning to cut out, charge slowly or taste flat with every new pod, the fault may be the hardware and not the cartridge. In that case a replacement kit can make better sense than persevering with fresh pods in a failing battery.
Finally, a note on stocking up. Once you know the device works with these pods, buying two or three at a time keeps you from running out mid-week and, as covered at the end of this page, helps with delivery costs.
Heat is the enemy of any sealed pod. E-liquid thins as it warms and creeps past seals more easily, which is why a pod left on a sunny windowsill, a radiator shelf or a car dashboard is the classic source of leaks. A drawer or cupboard at normal room temperature is ideal. At the other extreme, very cold liquid thickens and wicks slowly, so a pod that has been in a freezing coat pocket may need a minute at room temperature before it performs.
Keep unopened pods in their packaging until you need them, and where possible store them upright. There is no benefit to unwrapping the whole batch in advance. Sealed pods keep well, so holding a small stock is sensible, but use older ones first and check any date printed on the pack.
When carrying spares, use a small case or the original pack instead of leaving pods loose in a pocket or bag. Keys, coins and general pressure can squeeze liquid out of the airway or crack a mouthpiece. A pod already fitted to a device that is knocking about in a bag can leak into the mouthpiece, so a quick look and wipe before the first draw of the day saves a nasty surprise.
Flying calls for a special mention. Cabin pressure drops in flight, and the air inside a pod expands, which can push liquid out. Many people remove the pod and seal it in a small plastic bag for the journey, refitting it after landing. Airlines also have their own rules on carrying vapes and lithium batteries, usually requiring them in hand luggage and not in the hold, so check the carrier's policy before you travel.
Safety matters as much as freshness. The liquid is harmful if swallowed, and it can irritate skin or eyes, so keep pods and devices well out of reach of children and pets. If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. When a pod is spent, do not bin it with general waste: take spent pods and devices to a recycling point or a retailer take-back scheme, because the devices contain batteries.
Every format involves trade-offs, so here is the balance sheet for Strawberry Watermelon Gum in the 60K line, with the advantages first.
And now the downsides, which are equally real.
So who should skip it? If running cost is your priority, or you like to mix and tweak, a bottle-based set-up is the better route. The refillable vape pods collection pairs with bottled liquid at a much lower cost per millilitre, in exchange for a little more handling and the occasional spill. If you value simplicity, a reliable swap routine and a flavour that does not drift, prefilled is the right call, and this strawberry, watermelon and bubblegum blend is a reasonable, straightforward place to begin.
Most pod problems have dull causes and quick fixes, so work through the likely culprits in order before deciding anything is faulty.
Never keep drawing on a pod that tastes burnt. It will not recover, and it can leave a harsh aftertaste that spoils the next pod too. Swapping early costs less than persevering.
If the checks above do not sort it out, contact our UK team with your order number, the flavour and strength you bought, and a short description of what is happening. A clear photo of the pod and packaging helps us respond faster, and a genuinely faulty or damaged item is replaced free of charge.
At £6.99 per pod, the arithmetic is straightforward, and it is worth planning your basket around the delivery thresholds. Three pods come to £20.97, which tips an order over £20. A Strawberry Watermelon Gum starter kit at £10.99 plus two pods comes to £24.97, which also clears the line. A kit and a single pod, at £17.98, falls short, so adding one more pod takes delivery down to nothing.
Orders placed on weekdays before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Royal Mail Tracked 24 costs £1.99 and is free on orders over £20. DPD Next Working Day costs £3.99, drops to £2.99 over £20 and is free above £100. Every parcel is tracked and sent in plain packaging. Service levels, cut-off times and regional notes are laid out on the shipping page, which is worth a quick look if the order is time-sensitive.
There is no multibuy attached to this particular listing at the time of writing, but offers on prefilled pods come and go. Check the vape deals page and the live price in your basket instead of relying on any figure here other than the £6.99 shown on the listing.
Only adults can buy. Checkout is age-verified, and you must confirm that you are 18 or over before an order is accepted. The steps, and the reason we ask, are explained on the age verification page. We do not ship nicotine products to anyone who cannot be verified, and there are no exceptions.
Returns follow the health and safety rules that apply to all nicotine products. Unopened, unsealed items can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Opened consumables, including a pod whose seal has been peeled, cannot be returned because they cannot be resold safely. If something arrives faulty or damaged, we replace it free of charge, so keep the packaging and your order number to hand and get in touch quickly.
All stock is genuine and sourced for the UK market. If a pack ever looks wrong, or a seal is already broken, please do not use it and tell us straight away so we can put it right.

Bloody Bar runs a sprawling flavour library across its 3000, 60K and Ultra Twist pod formats. Sweet-leaning fruit builds, loud packaging and multibuy-friendly pricing — it's the brand of choice for vapers chasing variety.
No. This listing is for prefilled replacement pods only, so there is no battery, charger or device in the package. You need a compatible Bloody Bar 60K device already. If you do not own one, the store sells the Bloody Bar 60K Puffs Prefilled Pod Kit in Strawberry Watermelon Gum at £10.99, which supplies the hardware as well as a first pod. For a first purchase, the kit is usually better value than pods alone.
Expect a sweet fruit blend with a bubblegum finish. Strawberry tends to come across as candied rather than tart, watermelon as light and sugary, and the gum adds a soft, rounded sweetness that lingers after the exhale. The store's tagging lists strawberry, watermelon, bubblegum and mixed berries. Taste is personal, and your nicotine strength and draw style will change what you notice, so treat the description as guidance.
Nothing in the name suggests so. Flavours with a cooling finish normally carry Ice in the title, as with Watermelon Ice or Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice in the same 60K pod line. Strawberry Watermelon Gum is a sweet, fruit and gum profile, so you should not expect a strong chill or a menthol hit. If cooling matters to you, choose one of the Ice variants instead.
Both are nicotine salt. 20mg is the UK legal maximum and tends to suit adults who smoke heavily. 10mg is gentler and suits lighter smokers, existing vapers, or anyone who finds 20mg harsh. If you are unsure, start with 10mg and move up later if needed. Sweet flavours can mask harshness, so watch for nausea, dizziness or a racing heartbeat and drop a strength if you notice them.
There is no single answer. The 60K in the name is a line-level rating for the system, not a guarantee for one pod. UK rules limit a pod to 2ml, which in ordinary use typically gives several hundred puffs. Light users may stretch a pod across a week or two, while heavier users may finish one in a few days. The best guide is to buy one pod, note how long it lasts for you, and plan your stock from that.
Do not assume so. Pods are usually proprietary to a particular device, even within one brand. These are intended for the Bloody Bar 60K system, and other lines such as the 3000-puff Bloody Bar pods are separate products. If you are unsure which device you own, contact our team with a description or a photo and we will help you check before you order.
No. They are replacement pods for a reusable device. You keep and recharge the device and swap in a fresh pod when the old one runs out. Single-use disposable vapes were banned across Great Britain from 1 June 2025, whereas reusable devices with replaceable pods remain on sale. Please recycle spent pods and devices through a proper recycling point, and do not put them in general household waste.
Usually the wick has not had time to soak up liquid. After peeling the seals and fitting the pod, wait about a minute, then take two gentle draws before vaping normally. Also check that the battery is charged and the pod is fully seated. If the burnt taste continues after priming, the pod may be nearly empty or faulty, and you should swap it rather than keep drawing on it.
No. Unopened, unsealed items can be returned within 14 days of delivery, but opened consumables cannot, for health and safety reasons. Once the seal is peeled, the pod cannot be resold. If a pod arrives faulty or damaged, we replace it free of charge, so keep your order number and packaging and contact the team promptly with a short description of the problem.

The flavour matches the description perfectly. No weird aftertaste. Proper authentic taste.
My partner tried this and now we've both switched. Smooth hit, proper flavour, fair price.
Cracking flavour, honestly. Been through a few of these already. Can't fault it at the price.
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
