Gold Bar Review & Full Flavours List
Gold Bar Reload Review & Full Flavours List
Why this update exists
Our original guide was all about Gold Bar disposables. Since the UK moved away from single-use on 1st June Ban, this updated piece focuses on Gold Bar Reload — a reusable pod kit with the same “gold bar” look and that clean, satisfying Gold Bar flavours profile people came for in the first place. If you loved the old sticks, this is the most natural next step without relearning how to vape.
For the bigger brand picture, dip into the Gold Bar collection.
Gold Bar In Two Minutes (what stayed, what changed)
What stayed: the gold aesthetic, a tidy MTL draw, and punchy, fruit-forward profiles with clean “ice” finishes.
What changed: you now keep the device and only replace prefilled pods. It’s still draw-activated and hassle-free, but you’ll charge via USB-C and carry spare pods instead of spare sticks.
If you want the official device overview first, see Gold Bar Reload Prefilled Pod Kit.
What is the Gold Bar Reload?
Think of Reload as “Gold Bar, grown up.” It’s a slim, rechargeable body that takes 2 ml prefilled pods (nic salt 20 mg).
You pop in a pod, inhale to vape — no buttons, no menus. Expect roughly 600 puffs per pod depending on how hard you draw. For most people, that’s a solid day or two.
If you’re comparing across brands, this sits squarely among prefilled pod vape kits — closed pods, zero refilling, low faff.
Ergonomics & Design (how it actually feels)
Gold Bar’s visual identity is the point: brushed-gold finish, flat faces that rest nicely against your fingers, and a duckbill mouthpiece that fits like a cigarette filter. It’s light enough to disappear in a pocket but doesn’t feel toy-like.
The finish resists scuffs better than I expected; mine shared a pocket with keys for a week with minimal micro-marks (still, don’t tempt fate).
I like the understated flavour labelling — neat icons/wording rather than loud colours — so every unit looks like “a Gold Bar,” whichever pod you choose.
Set-up & onboarding: from box to first puff
1. Charge first: a quick top-up on USB-C while you read this section.
2. Insert pod: peel any freshness seal, push until the magnets “bite.”
3. Prime gently: two light puffs settle the wicking.
4. Short test pulls: MTL sips, not lungfuls — this isn’t a sub-ohm box.
5. Carry on: if you chain vape, rotate flavours to keep your palate fresh.
New to pods? The prefilled pods directory is handy if you want to compare closed-pod refills across brands later.
Daily Life With Vape Gold Reload (a real week of use)
Commute days: one fresh pod each morning, one device. It lives in the jeans coin pocket without printing. I kept a spare pod in a tiny zip pouch — zero leaks. Light lunch, couple of coffee breaks, still tasting crisp late afternoon.
Desk days: short puffs every 20–30 minutes. One Gold Bar pods cartridge did a full day plus a slow morning. Battery top-up at 4pm while answering emails.
Nights out: I switch to bright flavours (Lemon Ice, Cherry Fizz) because they cut through food/drink better. The device is small enough for a blazer inside pocket; the flat faces stop it rolling off tables. One battery bar left by midnight, swapped the pod just before heading home.
Lazy Sunday: tea, podcasts, Spearmint all day. Gentle, clean, no sugar crash mouthfeel.
Performance: draw, warmth, noise, consistency
• Draw: comfortably tight MTL; you “sip,” you don’t inhale like a shisha. It’s forgiving — if you take a slightly longer pull, it doesn’t get spitty.
• Warmth: mid-cool by default; “Ice” flavours feel brisker, fruit-only feels room-temp.
• Noise: minimal. A soft hiss on the pull, no crackling fireworks.
• Consistency: the biggest win. The first puff and the 400th taste very similar; there’s no huge flavour cliff halfway through the pod.
• Chain vaping: if you hammer it, let the pod rest a minute now and then; you’ll preserve flavour brightness.

Pods & Costs: What To Expect And How To Save
You’re buying prefilled 2 ml pods. For most ex-smokers, I recommend starting at 20 mg nic salt; it mimics the quick “ahh” of a cigarette and keeps you from over-puffing. How long a pod lasts varies with your puff length, but a day per pod is a good mental model.
Your refills hub is Gold Bar pods. If you’re browsing beyond Gold Bar, the sitewide prefilled pods directory is the place to compare.
Ways to save:
• Find a two-flavour rotation you like; alternating slows palate fatigue, so you don’t chase ever-sweeter options.
• Keep a “reset” pod handy (Spearmint or Lemon & Lime). A reset lets you enjoy bolder profiles longer.
Flavours Overview (categories & “who they suit”)
Gold Bar is built on fruit and fruit-ice, with a few sodas and a clean mint. If you’re brand new:
• Love sweet shop flavours? Start with Blueberry Raspberry or Summer Berries.
• Want bright and fizzy? Lemon Ice or Cherry Fizz.
• Need a clean all-day? Spearmint or Lemon & Lime.
• Miss that cool “summer bar” vibe? Watermelon Ice or Raspberry Watermelon.
• Tropical fan? 24K Mango or Hawaiian Sunrise.
Your first stop for availability is Gold Bar pods; stock rotates and new packs land there first.
Full Flavours List: Gold Bar Reload with tasting notes
Gold Bar pods hub:
| Flavour | Profile |
|---|---|
| 24K Mango | Sun-ripe mango with that nectar “chew.” Sweet, round, never plasticky. A gentle, happy all-day for mango loyalists. |
| Banana Ice | Pudding-soft banana with a cool veil; more banana milk than foam sweet. Best after meals. |
| Blueberry Ice | Jammy blueberry meets a tidy menthol exit. Cleans up after itself; doesn’t coat your mouth. |
| Blueberry Raspberry | A brighter, zingier bluefruit; less menthol than Blueberry Ice. Great with coffee (surprisingly). |
| Cherry Fizz | Cherryade-adjacent with a sherbet tickle. Cuts through “palate fog” after a hard day. |
| Hawaiian Sunrise | Pineapple, mango, passionfruit in a sunny blend that never goes syrupy. A holiday in the middle of Monday. |
| Lemon Ice | Zesty lemon with a brisk, breath-clearing chill. The perfect 3pm palate reset. |
| Lemon & Lime | A spritzy twin-citrus that’s lighter than Lemon Ice and lovely in warm weather. |
| Raspberry Watermelon | Tart red berry on the front, mellow melon in the finish. Think “summer bowl,” not candy stick. |
| Spearmint | Clean, gum-mint cool without toothpaste harshness. My “after-coffee” saviour. |
| Summer Berries | Strawberries with black/raspberry support. Sweet but not sticky. |
| Watermelon Ice | Crisp watermelon with a cool fade; the brand’s “crowd pleaser” for a reason. |

Legacy Flavours vs Reload: Equivalence Guide
A lot of you still search “Gold Bar flavours” because you remember a disposable blend and want the nearest Reload match.
Use this as a feel-based guide:
• Blue Raspberry (legacy) → Blueberry Raspberry (Reload) for the same zingy bluefruit hit.
• Peach Mango Watermelon (legacy) → 24K Mango (tropical focus) or Raspberry Watermelon (if you want that melon finish).
• Pink Grapefruit / Bora Bora (legacy citrus) → Lemon & Lime (lighter) or Lemon Ice (brisker).
• Summer Berries / Melon Berry (legacy) → Summer Berries (Reload keeps that bowl-of-fruit mood) or Watermelon Ice if you want cooler melon.
• Mint (legacy) → Spearmint (cleaner, less “cold air” burn).
• Blueberry Peach (legacy) → Blueberry Raspberry (keeps body + brightness).
Which flavour for which moment (quick chooser)
• First vape of the day: Spearmint or Lemon & Lime — clears the morning palate.
• Desk work: Blueberry Raspberry — flavour pops without sugar mouth.
• Gym bag / walk home: Lemon Ice — feel-fresh factor.
• After dinner: Banana Ice or 24K Mango — dessert vibes without actual dessert.
• Night out: Cherry Fizz or Hawaiian Sunrise — holds up against music, chat, and drinks.
• All-day safe bet: Watermelon Ice — it just works.
Final verdict
Gold Bar hasn’t tried to reinvent you; it’s rebuilt what you actually liked and made it easier to live with. Reload keeps the look, the tight, cigarette-style MTL draw, and the clean, punchy Gold Bar flavours—but moves them into a reusable format that feels grown-up rather than “make-do.” Over a week of real use, what stood out wasn’t one headline spec; it was the absence of faff: pods click in cleanly, flavour holds from first puff to last, the body slips into a coin pocket, and USB-C top-ups are a non-event.
Where it shines: consistency and confidence. If you’ve ever had disposables that tasted brilliant for five minutes then nosedived, Reload is the opposite—steady delivery, minimal gurgle, no weird mid-pod fade. Flavour curation is honest about what Gold Bar does best: bright fruits, crisp ices, one clean mint. That makes choosing simple.
My practical steer is the same I give friends: buy the kit, pick two flavours in different “moods” (e.g., Lemon Ice + 24K Mango), and keep a reset pod (Spearmint or Lemon & Lime) for palate fatigue. You’ll vape less frantically and enjoy it more.
Who it’s for: new switchers who want the disposable feel without the waste; commuters who value small, reliable, and quiet; flavour-curious vapers who prefer “pop and go” over settings. Who it’s not for: tinkerers chasing adjustable airflow or refillable tanks, and tobacco die-hards (this range is fruit-forward).
Cost and care are straightforward. Think a pod a day (give or take), wipe contacts every few days, rotate flavours if you chain-vape. The ecosystem path is clear: start with the Gold Bar Reload Prefilled Pod Kit, then live in the Gold Bar pods catalogue for refills; the brand hub is there when you want to see everything in one place without getting dragged into sales copy.
Bottom line: Reload feels like Gold Bar—only calmer, cleaner, and built for life after disposables. If your priority is flavour that stays put and a device that disappears into your routine, this is the simplest, most faithful way to keep that “Gold Bar” experience going.
FAQs
Is Reload compatible with disposables?
No. Disposables are one-piece; Reload uses prefilled pods that click into a rechargeable body. See Gold Bar Reload Prefilled Pod Kit.
What nicotine strength are Reload pods?
Typically 20 mg nic salt in 2 ml pods — ideal if you’re switching from smoking. Browse options on Gold Bar pods.
How long does a pod last?
Roughly 600 puffs depending on draw length/frequency. If you’re chain-vaping, carry a spare. All refills live under Gold Bar pods.
I’m brand new — is Reload beginner-friendly?
Yes. Draw-activated, no buttons, small and pocketable. If you’re comparing formats, check prefilled pod vape kits for similar systems.
Where can I explore beyond Gold Bar?
Use the broad prefilled pods directory to compare closed-pod refills across brands.
