What Are Gold Bar Reload Pods and How Do They Work?
If you’ve ever held a Gold Bar disposable vape and thought, “I wish I could just keep the body and reload the flavour,” you're not alone. That desire sparked the creation of the Gold Bar Reload Pod System, a hybrid between the ease of disposables and the sustainability of reusable vapes. But what are Gold Bar Reload Pods exactly, and why are UK vapers switching over in waves?
What Are Gold Bar Reload Pods?
Gold Bar Reload Pods are pre-filled, closed-system vape pods designed to pair with the Gold Bar Reload Device. Each pod comes with 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid and features a mesh coil that ensures smooth, consistent flavour delivery. Unlike traditional disposables, these pods are replaceable, meaning the device itself is rechargeable and reusable — you simply switch the pod when it's empty.
They are TPD-compliant, leak-resistant, and made to deliver the signature rich taste that Gold Bar is known for, in flavours like Peach Ice, Kiwi Passion Guava, and Berry Lemonade.
How Do Gold Bar Reload Pods Work?
It’s a two-part system:
-
The Gold Bar Reload Device – a sleek, compact, USB-C rechargeable battery unit.
-
Gold Bar Reload Pods – magnetic, snap-in pods prefilled with e-liquid.
Once a pod is inserted, the device activates on draw — no buttons, no menus. The mesh coil inside each pod heats the e-liquid efficiently, producing clean vapour with bold flavour from the first puff to the last.
Each pod is designed to last approximately 600 puffs, depending on usage style — an excellent benchmark for both flavour retention and value.
