Engineering Meets Elegance


Pick up the Gold Bar XL and you'll immediately notice this feels like a proper bit of kit. We've handled enough prefilled pod systems to know when corners have been cut, and that's definitely not the case here. The build quality is spot-on – substantial enough to feel durable, compact enough to slip into any pocket without that annoying bulk some devices create.

The real cleverness lies in that pod and refill setup. Gold Bar have paired a standard TPD-compliant 2ml pod with a 10ml refill reservoir, and honestly, it's one of those "why didn't someone think of this sooner?" moments. The pod draws from the reservoir automatically as you vape, which means you're getting the convenience of prefilled pods but with five times the staying power. No manual refilling, no mess, no fuss – just consistent performance that keeps going.

That 1200mAh battery deserves a mention too. We've been using the XL consistently over the last few days and it always keeps up. Most of us are getting a full day's vaping without reaching for the USB-C cable, and when we do need to charge, it's quick enough that a coffee break sees you sorted. Gold Bar could have gone smaller on the battery to make the device more compact, but they've clearly prioritised real-world usability over spec sheet impressiveness.

What we really appreciate is the restraint shown here. Gold Bar haven't thrown in a dozen power modes or a colour screen just because they could. Every feature has a purpose, and that focused approach has resulted in something that feels properly thought through rather than thrown together.

A new Gold Standard for Prefilled Pod Kits?


Let's talk about that mesh coil, because it's doing some serious heavy lifting here. We've all experienced prefilled pods that start strong but fade fast – you know the type, great for the first day then increasingly disappointing. The XL's mesh coil technology keeps things remarkably consistent throughout the pod's life, which is no mean feat when you're dealing with such extended usage.

The draw is spot-on for MTL vaping. Not too tight that you're working for it, not so loose that you're accidentally getting DTL hits. It's that sweet spot that feels natural whether you're taking quick puffs during a break or settling in for a longer session. The draw activation responds instantly – no delay, no misfires, just reliable performance every time you need it.

The vapour production is exactly what you'd want from a quality MTL device – visible enough to be satisfying, discrete enough for public use. No massive clouds here, just smooth, flavourful vapour that delivers the goods without the showboating.

The Gold Bar Flavour Collection

Right, let's get to what Gold Bar does best – flavours! With 15 options in the XL range, they've struck a nice balance between variety and quality. Rather than throwing together fifty mediocre options, they've focused on getting each one properly dialled in.

Our Top Picks

  • Gold Bar XL Blue Raspberry Prefilled Pod Vape Kit:
    Blueberry brings proper jammy sweetness – not that artificial "blue" flavour you sometimes get, but something that actually tastes like berries. Then the Sour Raspberry kicks in with this brilliant tangy edge that stops it being too sweet. The mesh coil really shows its worth here, keeping both flavours distinct rather than muddling them together into generic "berry" territory.
  • Gold Bar XL Hawaiian Sunrise Prefilled Pod Vape Kit:
    Gold Bar Apollo Prefilled Pods in Pineapple Ice blend sweet, tropical Pineapple with a frosty, refreshing finish.
  • Gold Bar XL Cherry Fizz Prefilled Pod Vape Kit:
    Remember those fizzy cherryade bottles from the local shop? This is them in vape form, and it's brilliant. The Cherry is rich and fruity – sweet with just enough tartness to keep it interesting – while that fizzy element adds an effervescent quality that genuinely makes it feel like you're vaping confectionery.
  • Gold Bar XL Spearmint Prefilled Pod Vape Kit:Sometimes you just want something clean and refreshing, and this delivers in spades. It's not trying to be clever or complex – just pure, sweet spearmint that cleanses your palate with ice that is perfectly judged; present enough to be refreshing without that harsh throat freeze some mint flavours give you.
  • Gold Bar XL Oasis Prefilled Pod Vape Kit:
    The name fits perfectly – this really is like finding refreshment when you need it most. Watermelon leads the charge with its subtle juicy sweetness, Apple adds a crisp tartness that cuts through beautifully, and Strawberry rounds everything out with familiar berry notes. The gentle cooling on the exhale ties it all together without overwhelming the fruit.

Other Highlights of the Gold Bar XL Range

We could honestly rave about every flavour, but here's a quick rundown of the others: Blue Raspberry is pure tangy brilliance for berry purists; Banana Ice nails that creamy banana sweetness with just enough cool; Lemon Lime offers a classic zesty citrus; Pineapple Ice and Watermelon Ice are your tropical refreshers done right; Raspberry Watermelon is summer in a pod; Summer Berries offers that mixed fruit medley many love; and Berry Blast cranks the berry intensity up to eleven.

How long does each pod and refill combination last?

This varies by user, but we're seeing most customers get 3-4 days of regular vaping from each combo. The 2ml pod plus 10ml refill gives you 12ml total capacity, which is roughly equivalent to six standard pods. Pretty impressive for something so compact!

How does the refill pod reservoir system work?

It's brilliantly simple – just click both the pod and refill container onto your device and you're done. The system automatically manages the e-liquid flow, keeping your pod perfectly saturated without any input from you. When both are empty, swap the whole unit for a fresh one.

Can I switch between different flavours before finishing my current pod?

Absolutely! The modular design means you can have several different flavours on the go and swap between them whenever you fancy. We've got customers who keep one for morning, one for evening, and something fruity for the weekend.

What nicotine strength are the pods?

All Gold Bar XL pods come in 20mg nicotine salt strength. It's the sweet spot for smooth MTL vaping – satisfying nicotine delivery without harshness, and it really lets those Gold Bar flavours shine through.

How do I know when to charge the device?

With the 1200mAh battery, most users are getting through a full day without worry. The LED indicator will let you know when you're running low, but honestly, if you charge it overnight like your phone, you'll rarely get caught short.

Is the Gold Bar XL suitable for beginners?

It's perfect for beginners! No buttons, no settings, no confusion – just inhale to vape. The consistent performance means you get a great experience from day one, and the range of flavours means you're bound to find something you love. We often recommend it as a first device.
