Bar Series Shortfills

The Best Vape Kits for Bar Series 100ml E-Liquids

The best kits are sub ohm devices with coils below 1 ohm, enough power and direct to lung airflow. Small MTL pod kits are not suitable.

Because Bar Series shortfills are high VG, the right kit makes all the difference. This guide explains what to look for in a vape kit for Bar Series 100ml e liquids, and the types of device that suit them best, alongside our guide on whether they are suitable for sub ohm vaping.

In short

The best kits for Bar Series 100ml e liquids are sub ohm devices: sub ohm tanks, high powered sub ohm pod kits, or mods with sub ohm coils. Look for coils below 1 ohm, enough power, and an open, direct to lung airflow to handle the 70/30 high VG blend. Small mouth to lung pod kits are not suitable. Our team can help you match a kit to the range.

What to look for

Rather than a single best device, look for the right features. A sub ohm coil, below 1 ohm in resistance, paired with enough power and a reasonably open, direct to lung airflow, is what vaporises high VG liquid cleanly and produces the dense clouds these shortfills are built for. Refillable sub ohm tanks and high powered pod kits both fit the bill.

Kit features for Bar Series

Feature Why it matters
Sub ohm coil (below 1 ohm) Handles high VG liquid
Enough power Vaporises thicker e liquid
Direct to lung airflow Suits the high VG blend
Refillable tank or pod Top up from your shortfill
Spare coils Easy maintenance

Types of kit that suit

Three broad types work well. A sub ohm tank on a mod gives the most power and customisation, ideal for cloud chasers. A high powered sub ohm pod kit offers similar performance in a simpler, more compact form, a great all rounder. A starter sub ohm kit suits those new to direct to lung vaping. What they share is the ability to handle high VG liquid and deliver a direct to lung draw.

The best kits for Bar Series are sub ohm devices, tanks, high powered pod kits or mods, with coils below 1 ohm, enough power, and direct to lung airflow. Small MTL pod kits are not suitable.

Choosing your kit

  • Pick a sub ohm device, not a small MTL pod kit
  • Look for coils below 1 ohm
  • Choose enough power for high VG liquid
  • Go for a direct to lung airflow
  • Ask our team to match a kit to the range

More guides and related reading

Our Bar Series guides cover what shortfills are, how to mix and use them, choosing flavours and strengths, and how they compare on value. The pages below are a good next read, and you can always return to the user guide hub or browse our full Help and Guidance library.

Key things to remember

  • Use a sub ohm device, not an MTL pod kit
  • Coils below 1 ohm
  • Enough power for high VG liquid
  • Direct to lung airflow
  • Refillable tank or pod, plus spare coils

Tanks, pod kits or mods?

Each type of sub ohm device has its strengths. A sub ohm tank on a mod gives the most power, airflow and coil choice, ideal if you want maximum clouds and customisation. A high powered sub ohm pod kit packs similar performance into a simpler, pocket friendly package, a great all rounder for most people. Starter sub ohm kits keep things easy for newcomers to direct to lung vaping.

For most vapers using Bar Series, a good sub ohm pod kit or tank strikes the right balance of performance and simplicity. Our team can help you choose based on how much power and customisation you want.

A few more questions

Can I use Bar Series in any pod kit?

Only high powered sub ohm pod kits; small MTL pod kits are not suitable for high VG liquid.

Do I need a powerful mod?

Not necessarily; a good sub ohm pod kit handles Bar Series well without the bulk of a mod.

Do and don’t

Do

  • Choose a sub ohm device
  • Look for coils below 1 ohm
  • Pick a direct to lung airflow
  • Keep spare coils handy

Try not to

  • Use a small MTL pod kit
  • Expect clouds from a low power device
  • Forget to prime new coils
  • Vape it if you are a non smoker

Maintenance matters too

Whatever sub ohm kit you choose, a little maintenance keeps it performing. Replace coils when the flavour fades or tastes burnt, keep the tank topped up so the coil never runs dry, and clean the contacts and tank now and then. High VG liquid is a little thicker, so priming new coils properly is especially important.

Keeping spare coils in means you are never caught out, and looking after your kit means it gets the best from every bottle of Bar Series.

Keeping a kit happy

Task Why
Replace worn coils Avoid burnt flavour
Keep it topped up Coil never runs dry
Prime new coils High VG needs it
Clean contacts Reliable connection
Spare coils Never caught out

The bottom line

The best vape kits for Bar Series 100ml e liquids are sub ohm devices: sub ohm tanks on a mod, high powered sub ohm pod kits, or starter sub ohm kits for newcomers to direct to lung vaping. What matters is the features, coils below 1 ohm, enough power to vaporise high VG liquid, a direct to lung airflow, and a refillable tank or pod. Small mouth to lung pod kits are not suitable, as they cannot wick thick, high VG liquid. Prime new coils, keep spares in, and our team can help you match a sub ohm kit to the Bar Series range.

Matching power to the liquid

High VG liquid like Bar Series performs best within a coil’s recommended wattage range. Most sub ohm coils have a suggested range printed on them, and staying within it gives the cleanest flavour and the longest coil life. Too little power and the liquid barely vaporises; too much and you risk a burnt taste.

You do not need the most powerful mod on the shelf, just a capable sub ohm device run sensibly within its coil range. That is what gets the best flavour and clouds from every bottle.

Power and coils

Tip Why
Stay in the coil range Best flavour, longer life
Below 1 ohm coil Suits high VG
Start lower, build up Avoids burning
Prime first No dry hits
Sensible power No need for extremes

A few more questions

Do I need a high wattage mod?

No, a capable sub ohm pod kit or tank run within its coil range is plenty; you do not need extreme power.

How do I know the right wattage?

Most sub ohm coils have a recommended wattage range printed on them; stay within it for the best results.

A couple more questions

Can you recommend a kit for me?

Yes, tell us how much power and simplicity you want and we will suggest a sub ohm kit to pair with the Bar Series range.

Do you stock coils for sub ohm kits?

Yes, we keep coils and spares for the sub ohm kits we sell, so you can keep yours performing.


A quick word on safety and the law

Vaping is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Shortfills are sold nicotine free, but adding a nicotine shot makes them a nicotine product, which is addictive, and they are not suitable for non smokers, pregnant women or anyone under 18. By law you must be 18 or over to buy vaping products and nicotine shots in the UK, and we age verify every order in line with Challenge 25. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, your local stop smoking service offers free, tailored support.

UK public health bodies advise that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and if you do not smoke the advice is not to start.
