Why Are Gold Bar Prefilled Pods So Popular?
As vaping moves beyond disposables in the UK, we're proud to see our Gold Bar prefilled pod systems emerging as the go-to solution for vapers who want convenience without compromise. Our rechargeable designs maintain those signature Gold Bar flavours while offering a more sustainable, cost-effective approach.
When we launched Gold Bar in the UK, our disposable vapes rapidly gained a huge following thanks to their authentic flavours, value for money and consistent performance. Building on what vapers loved about these devices, we've expanded our range to include prefilled pod systems that maintain these qualities while addressing the limitations that came with traditional single-use products.
Our Gold Bar Reload and Gold Bar Apollo 20K prefilled pod kits represent our vision for the future of vaping. We've combined the convenience and intense flavours that made our original disposables so popular, with the improved sustainability and cost-effectiveness of rechargeable designs, creating what we believe is the ideal balance for today's vapers.
With the UK's changes to disposable vape regulations coming into effect in June 2025, our prefilled pod systems offer a perfect transition device that preserves everything you love about Gold Bar while reducing waste and delivering better long-term value.

What are Gold Bar Prefilled Pod Kits?
Prefilled pod systems represent the natural evolution of vaping technology, bridging the gap between single-use disposables and more complex refillable devices. These innovative systems consist of two main components: a rechargeable battery unit and replaceable pods pre-filled with e-liquid. For vapers who appreciate the convenience of disposables but want something more cost-effective and sustainable, prefilled pods offer the perfect middle ground.
The Gold Bar prefilled pod range currently features two standout systems: the sleek and stylish Reload and the high-capacity Apollo 20K. Each brings something unique to the table while maintaining the hallmark Gold Bar qualities of authentic flavours, reliable performance, and user-friendly design.
What makes these systems particularly appealing is how they preserve the simplicity that draws many to disposables. There's no need to fill tanks, replace coils, or adjust complex settings. Simply attach a prefilled pod to the battery, and you're ready to vape. When the pod is empty, just replace it with a new one while keeping the battery component – significantly reducing waste and cost compared to disposing of an entire device.
Gold Bar Reload Prefilled Pod Kit: Style Meets Performance
The Gold Bar Reload Prefilled Pod Kit stands out in a crowded vaping market with its perfect balance of elegant design and practical functionality. This compact device features a gleaming premium finish constructed from high-quality materials, making it both a fashion statement and a reliable vaping companion.
Design and Specifications
The Reload battery combines sophisticated aesthetics with pocket-friendly dimensions. Its sleek form factor feels comfortable in the hand while still being easy to carry. The device features a rechargeable battery with USB-C fast charging, ensuring you're never without power for long. The draw-activated mechanism eliminates the need for buttons, making the vaping experience intuitive and straightforward even for newcomers.
Each Reload prefilled pod contains 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid, optimised for a satisfying mouth-to-lung experience. The pods incorporate advanced Hyper Mesh Coil technology alongside a dynamic atomiser, ensuring consistently smooth, rich vapour with enhanced flavour profiles. A single pod is designed to provide approximately 600 puffs of robust, flavourful vapour before needing replacement.
User Experience and Operation
Using the Gold Bar Reload couldn't be simpler. The system requires no filling, no coil changes, and no complicated settings adjustments. Simply connect a prefilled pod to the battery component, wait a few moments for the e-liquid to properly saturate the coil, and then inhale to activate. The battery is designed to last a full day on a single charge for average use, making it perfect for on-the-go vaping without constant recharging.
When it's time for a new pod, simply remove the used one and snap in a replacement. This straightforward approach maintains the convenience factor that many vapers appreciate while eliminating the waste associated with disposables.
Available Reload Flavours
The Gold Bar Reload system currently offers a wide variety of bespoke flavours carefully curated from the most popular disposable collections. Here’s just a few Reload pod flavours that are customers can’t get enough of:
Gold Bar Apollo 20K: The High-Capacity Innovation
The Gold Bar Apollo 20K Prefilled Pod Kit represents a significant leap forward in prefilled pod technology. This innovative device combines the convenience of prefilled systems with an impressive puff capacity that rivals much larger vaping setups, all while maintaining a relatively compact form factor.
Design and Specifications
The Apollo 20K features a built-in 1000mAh rechargeable battery that can be quickly replenished via its USB-C port. Despite this substantial battery capacity, the device remains remarkably portable and pocket-friendly. The kit includes a 2ml prefilled pod and a 5ml refill container, both filled with premium 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid.
Like the Reload, the Apollo 20K utilises Hyper Mesh coil technology to optimise flavour and provide a smooth, satisfying throat hit. The device features inhale activation for intuitive operation and a child-resistant cover for added safety. Gold Bar's strict quality control measures ensure consistent performance and satisfaction throughout the device's lifespan.
The Innovative Refill System Explained
What truly sets the Apollo 20K apart is its unique pod and refill system. Unlike standard prefilled pod kits, the Apollo 20K comes with both a 2ml prefilled pod and a 5ml refill container. This clever design allows for up to six refills of the included 2ml pod from the 5ml container, dramatically extending the device's lifespan between replacements.
When the pod starts to run low, simply tilt the device to refill from the 5ml container. This automatic refill mechanism maintains compliance with UK regulations while delivering an impressive potential 4000 puffs per refill pack – though exact puff count varies depending on personal usage patterns.

Comparing the Gold Bar Reload and Apollo Systems
When choosing between the Gold Bar Reload and Apollo 20K, it's helpful to understand how these two excellent systems compare. While both deliver the signature Gold Bar vaping experience, they offer different advantages that might make one a better fit depending on your vaping habits and preferences.
Battery Life and Performance
The Reload features a battery designed to last a full day of average use. It's optimised for quick charging via USB-C, ensuring minimal downtime. The Apollo 20K steps things up with its larger 1000mAh battery, providing extended vaping sessions between charges. Both devices use Hyper Mesh coil technology for consistent vapour production and flavour clarity, with the auto-draw activation making operation intuitive and straightforward.
Pod Capacity and Puff Count
Here's where the systems differ most significantly. The Reload pods provide approximately 600 puffs each – comparable to a standard disposable vape. In contrast, the Apollo 20K's innovative pod and refill container system delivers potentially up to 4000 puffs from a single refill pack. This dramatic difference makes the Apollo 20K particularly appealing for heavier vapers or those who prefer longer intervals between replacements.
Design and Portability
The Reload embraces a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with its gleaming premium finish and compact dimensions. It's the more pocket-friendly of the two, ideal for vapers who prioritise portability and style. The Apollo 20K, while still relatively compact compared to larger vape systems, has a slightly bulkier profile to accommodate its expanded capacity. Both devices feature Gold Bar's signature attention to design details and quality manufacturing.
Which System Is Right for Different Vapers?
For vapers who prioritise ultimate portability and enjoy frequently switching between different flavours, the Reload offers an ideal balance of convenience and performance. Its straightforward pod replacement makes it perfect for those who appreciate variety in their vaping experience.
The Apollo 20K shines for those who vape more frequently or simply prefer longer intervals between pod replacements. Its impressive capacity makes it particularly cost-effective for regular vapers, while still maintaining a reasonably portable form factor. The refill system also adds a layer of convenience for those who tend to stick with a favourite flavour for extended periods.
Both systems excel for former smokers transitioning to vaping, with their simple operation and satisfying nicotine delivery through 20mg salt formulations. Neither requires technical knowledge or complicated maintenance, making them accessible options regardless of vaping experience.
Which Gold Bar Prefilled Pod Kit Offers the Best Value?
Both Gold Bar systems deliver excellent value in different ways. The Reload provides an affordable entry point with easy flavour switching and significantly better cost-per-puff than disposables. For regular vapers, the Apollo 20K shines with its innovative refill system that dramatically extends time between purchases while maintaining convenience. Either way, you'll enjoy substantial savings compared to disposables while reducing environmental impact – a win-win for your wallet and the planet.

These innovative devices deliver authentic vaping experiences without the waste and ongoing expense of single-use products.
As the UK implements the 2025 ban on disposable vapes, these prefilled pod systems provide an ideal transition path for vapers who value simplicity and satisfaction.

FAQS:
What's the difference between Gold Bar Reload and Apollo 20K?
The main differences are capacity and design. The Reload is more compact with individually replaceable pods offering around 600 puffs each. The Apollo 20K features an innovative pod + refill system delivering up to 4000 puffs and a larger 1000mAh battery. Both use the same high-quality 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid and Hyper Mesh coil technology.
How long do Gold Bar prefilled pods last?
The Reload pods typically provide approximately 600 puffs each, while the Apollo 20K system can deliver up to 4000 puffs from its combined pod and refill container. Actual puff count varies based on individual usage patterns, including the length and intensity of each draw.
Are Gold Bar prefilled pods more cost-
effective than disposables?
Yes, significantly. While the initial kit purchase costs slightly more than a single disposable, the ability to replace only the pod rather than the entire device leads to substantial savings over time. Regular vapers typically save 30-50% compared to using disposables exclusively.
How do I know when it's time to replace my pod?
It's time to replace your pod when you notice a decrease in vapour production, diminished flavour, or when the e-liquid is visibly depleted. With the Apollo 20K, you'll need to replace the pod and refill container when both are empty.
