What is the Gold Bar XL?
The Gold Bar XL is the brand's longest-running rechargeable kit. It does not follow the disposable bar format; it is a larger, taller device with a 1200mAh battery, a USB-C port, and a two-component pod system that keeps you going for up to 10,000 puffs from one starter pack. That is seventeen times the puff count of a single Gold Bar bar, without buying seventeen individual devices.
The trick is the auto-refill setup. Inside the box, there are two pieces alongside the battery: a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml refill container. The pod slots into the device and you vape as normal. As the 2ml pod depletes, the 10ml container feeds it automatically. You are not refilling anything manually or swapping pods mid-container. The 10ml keeps the 2ml topped up until the container itself is empty, at which point the kit is done and you replace the whole pod-and-container pair together. Replacement refill packs are sold separately for when you need to restock.
That setup sits the XL firmly above the Gold Bar Pod System and closer to a proper kit. The Pod System is a compact device where you swap individual 2ml prefilled pods. The XL gives you twelve millilitres of liquid per kit in one uninterrupted run with no mid-session pod changes. For heavier vapers, or anyone who dislikes the frequency of swapping pods, the XL is the more practical choice. If you prefer the gold bar look but want something pocketable and lower cost up front, the Gold Bar Pod System is the option to compare against.
- Up to 10,000 puffs from one kit: a 2ml prefilled pod auto-refills from the included 10ml container.
- 1200mAh rechargeable battery with a clear LED indicator showing charge level.
- Dual mesh coil in every pod for better flavour than standard single-coil disposables.
- USB-C charging. No proprietary cable, no hunting for the right lead.
- Draw-activated. No buttons, no wattage settings, just inhale.
- Fifteen flavours, all 20mg nicotine salt, TPD-compliant at 2ml pod capacity.

How does the Gold Bar XL auto-refill system work?
The XL arrives in three pieces: the gold battery body, a 2ml prefilled pod, and a 10ml refill container. The pod clicks into the top of the device. The refill container attaches to the pod and feeds e-liquid into it continuously as you vape. You never see the mechanism work; you just draw on the device and the liquid level in the 2ml pod stays sustained by the 10ml reservoir behind it.
This matters because UK TPD rules cap e-liquid tank capacity at 2ml for consumer vape devices. The 10ml container is technically a refill unit rather than a tank, keeping the product compliant while delivering a far larger effective liquid supply per session. The 2ml pod is what the coil and airflow interact with; the 10ml container is the reservoir that keeps it topped up without any user action beyond the initial setup.
When the 10ml container runs empty, you replace both the pod and the container together as a paired unit. There is no half-used pod to discard separately or any partial refill to manage. The dual mesh coil is built into the 2ml pod, so you get a fresh coil with each replacement pair. Replacement Gold Bar XL refill pods are available separately to keep the battery going once your starter kit supply is used up.
The dual mesh coil is worth a mention specifically. A standard disposable vape uses a single coil strand. Dual mesh means two coil surfaces heating the liquid simultaneously, which typically produces more vapour per draw and distributes heat more evenly across the liquid. The practical outcome is more consistent flavour through the pod's life and slightly warmer vapour production than you would expect from a single-wire coil at the same wattage.
Battery, charging, and the LED indicator
The 1200mAh battery is one of the larger cells in a device this format. For context, the Gold Bar Pod System uses a 500mAh cell designed to last through a single 2ml pod. The XL's 1200mAh is designed to last through the full 10ml refill container rather than needing a charge mid-session. Most users with moderate to heavy vaping habits will get through a full day without needing to plug in, and lighter vapers may find they charge once every two days.
Charging is via USB-C on the base of the device. Gold Bar does not include a charging cable in the box, which is standard across pod kits in this price bracket. Any USB-C cable you already own will work; a standard 5W wall adapter charges the 1200mAh cell in roughly one to two hours. You can vape while charging if you need to, as the USB-C connection is on the bottom rather than the side.
The LED battery indicator is one of the features that separates the XL from the simpler Gold Bar Pod System, which has no battery readout at all. The LEDs give you a visible charge level so you can see when you are running low and plug in proactively rather than waiting for vapour production to fade. The number of LEDs and their exact behaviour (solid, flashing, colour-coded) follows a standard pattern for pod kits at this tier: a full charge lights all three indicators, and you are low when only one remains.
Gold Bar XL flavours: all 15 options
The XL range runs to fifteen flavours, covering the cold fruit ices that Gold Bar is known for, some warmer tropicals and soft fruit options, and a few fresh mints for anyone who wants something cleaner and less sweet. The selection skews fruit-forward with heavy ice representation, which aligns with what the brand's core audience typically reaches for.
Ice and cooling
Watermelon Ice
The Gold Bar classic. Clean watermelon with a strong menthol finish. Consistently one of the range's most popular picks.
Banana Ice
Sweet ripe banana with a cooling exhale. Smooth rather than sharp.
Pineapple Ice
Tropical pineapple with an icy edge. Sharper than the banana, juicier than the watermelon.
Cola Freeze
Cola flavour with a cold finish. The fizzy note comes through on the inhale.
Fruit and tropical
Apple Peach
A softer pairing. The peach rounds out the apple and stops it reading too sharp.
Hawaiian Sunrise
Pineapple, peach, and watermelon layered together. Bright and summery without ice.
Raspberry Watermelon
Watermelon carries most of the weight; raspberry adds tartness. No ice.
Summer Berries
Mixed red berries, soft and slightly jammy. A comfortable all-day option.
Oasis
A tropical blend with citrus and mango notes. The most complex in the range.
Berry Blast
A deep mixed berry. Closer to blackcurrant territory than the lighter Summer Berries.
Sweet and fizzy
Blue Raspberry
Candy-style blue raspberry. Sweet and tart without any cooling. The sweet pick in the range.
Blueberry Sour Raspberry
Two berries with a sour edge. Sharper than the Blue Raspberry, less candy-like.
Cherry Fizz
Cherry with a carbonated quality on the inhale. One of the more distinctive choices in the XL range.
Fresh and mint
Spearmint
Clean spearmint, gentler than full menthol. Good for all-day use.
Lemon Lime
Citrus without ice. Zingy and clean, refreshing without being sweet.
How to set up the Gold Bar XL
Setting up takes around a minute and does not require any technical knowledge. Read through once before you open the box.
- 1Remove the battery, 2ml prefilled pod, and 10ml refill container from the box.
- 2Click the 2ml prefilled pod into the top of the battery unit until it seats firmly.
- 3Attach the 10ml refill container to the base of the 2ml pod. It should connect securely without force.
- 4Wait approximately sixty seconds for the coil in the 2ml pod to prime before the first draw.
- 5Inhale through the mouthpiece. The device fires automatically. No button required.
- 6When vapour production drops noticeably, check the LED indicator. A single lit LED means the battery is low; plug in via USB-C. When the 10ml container is empty, replace both the pod and container together as a pair.
Is the Gold Bar XL worth it?
For vapers who are stepping up from disposables and want something that genuinely lasts more than a day or two, the XL is a considered choice. The auto-refill system removes the main friction point of pod kits, which is the interruption of pod changes mid-use. You get 10,000 puffs, the flavour consistency of dual mesh coils, and the simplicity of a draw-activated device with nothing to adjust.
The price point at £18.99 is higher than the Gold Bar Pod System at £10.99, but you are getting substantially more liquid per kit and a battery that is proportionally sized for the longer run. If you are doing the maths on cost per puff, the XL works out comparable to the Pod System and meaningfully better than buying equivalent puff counts in single-use disposables. The LED battery indicator is a small but practical addition over the Pod System; knowing your charge level before going out for the day is genuinely useful.
Where the XL is not the right pick: if you want to vape a wider range of flavours across a single session, the Pod System lets you swap flavours with each pod. The XL commits you to one flavour per 10ml refill. And if budget is the main constraint, the Pod System at £10.99 gives you a rechargeable option at a lower entry cost.
The good

- Auto-refill system works without any user action beyond initial setup
- LED battery indicator takes the guesswork out of charge level

- USB-C charges off any modern cable
The catch
- One flavour per kit; no swapping mid-refill
- Higher upfront cost than the Gold Bar Pod System
- USB-C cable not included in the box
- Flavour range of 15 does not cover tobacco options

Frequently asked questions
How many puffs does the Gold Bar XL give?
Up to 10,000 puffs per kit. The starter pack includes a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml auto-refill container, giving 12ml of e-liquid in total. Actual puff count depends on draw length and frequency.
How does the Gold Bar XL auto-refill system work?
The 10ml refill container connects to the 2ml prefilled pod and feeds e-liquid into it automatically as you vape. You do not manually refill or top up anything; the system manages itself. When the 10ml container is empty, you replace both the pod and container together.
What nicotine strength is the Gold Bar XL?
All Gold Bar XL kits run on 20mg (2%) nicotine salt. There is no lower strength option currently in the XL range.
Does the Gold Bar XL have a battery indicator?
Yes. Unlike the Gold Bar Pod System, the XL has an LED battery level display on the device so you can see your charge level without waiting for vapour production to drop.
Can I change flavours on the Gold Bar XL?
Not mid-refill. The flavour is locked in by the prefilled pod and matching 10ml refill container. Once the kit is empty you buy a new pod and container in whatever flavour you want next. If you want to rotate flavours more frequently, the Gold Bar Pod System lets you swap individual pods.
How long does the Gold Bar XL battery last?
The 1200mAh battery is designed to cover the full 10,000-puff capacity of a kit without running flat. Moderate vapers typically get a full day or more per charge. The LED indicator tells you when it is getting low.
Does the Gold Bar XL come with a USB-C cable?
No. The cable is not included in the box. Any standard USB-C cable you already own will work with the device.
What is the difference between the Gold Bar XL and the Gold Bar Pod System?
The Pod System is a compact rechargeable kit that takes swappable 2ml prefilled pods at 600 puffs each, priced at £10.99 with first pod included. The XL is a larger device with a 1200mAh battery, a dual mesh coil, an LED indicator, and an auto-refill system that delivers up to 10,000 puffs per kit at £18.99. The XL suits daily heavy vapers; the Pod System is the more affordable, pocketable entry point.
