Why Nic Salts Are the Ideal Choice for New Vapers


Getting started with vaping can feel complex, but it doesn't have to be. That's why we recommend Nicotine Salts as the ideal e-liquid for new vapers – a modern standard that offers a satisfying experience without a steep learning curve. This guide provides the clear, simple answers you need to vape with confidence.


Entering the world of vaping for the first time can feel like visiting a foreign country where everyone is speaking a different language—one filled with unfamiliar terms like ‘ohms’, ‘watts’, and ‘coils’. We understand that for most people making the switch, the main goal is simply to find a straightforward and satisfying alternative to traditional tobacco.


This is precisely where Nicotine Salt e-liquids come in. As the modern standard for vaping, they are designed to cut through the confusion and deliver a smooth, effective experience from the very first puff. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything a new vaper needs to know about nic salts, why they work so well, and how to get started in the easiest way possible. 

Key Takeaways:


For new vapers, nic salts provide a smoother, less harsh experience than other e-liquids, making the transition to vaping much easier.

They deliver nicotine satisfaction quickly and effectively, which is ideal for getting the nicotine relief you're looking for.

The easiest way to start is with a prefilled pod kit, like our Gold Bar XL or Reload systems, which use nic salts and require zero setup.

Once you're comfortable, you can explore a huge world of flavours with our bottled Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquids and a simple refillable vape kit.

Choosing the right strength is simple: we recommend 10mg for those who previously were lighter smokers and 20mg for those who were heavier smokers. 

Why Start with Nic Salts? The Beginner-Friendly Experience


When you’re just starting out, the overall experience is what matters most. If it’s too complicated or unsatisfying, it simply won’t work. Nic Salt e-liquids are recommended for beginners for two main reasons that directly address this. 

The Smooth Sensation


First and foremost is their smoothness. Nicotine salts are a specific form of nicotine that has been formulated to be much less harsh on the throat, even at the higher nicotine strengths that many new vapers require. This means you can get the nicotine level you need without the sharp throat hit that can sometimes come with other types of e-liquid, making your first steps into vaping far more comfortable. 

Efficient Nicotine Satisfaction


The other key benefit is the speed of nicotine delivery. The way nic salts are formulated allows them to be absorbed by the body more efficiently. For a new vaper, this translates to faster, more noticeable nicotine satisfaction. This quick and effective delivery makes nic salt e-liquids a highly dependable choice when you need immediate nicotine relief. 

Your First Vape: The Easiest Way to Begin


One of the biggest questions for any new vaper is, “What vape kit should I buy?” While the market is filled with countless options, we believe in starting simple.


The most straightforward entry point into vaping is a prefilled pod kit. These devices are the definition of user-friendly. There is no refilling bottles, no messy coil changes, and often no buttons to press. You simply click a prefilled pod into the device and inhale to vape. It’s an intuitive, hassle-free system that removes all the technical barriers.


Here at Gold Bar, we’ve designed our entire prefilled range around this principle of simplicity. Our systems, including the Gold Bar XL, the Gold Bar Reload, and the Gold Bar Apollo, all use premium nic salt e-liquid in their pods. They deliver our signature Gold Bar flavours and a consistently smooth vape with absolutely zero setup required, making them the perfect first vape for any beginner. 

Ready for More? The Next Step into Refillable Vape Kits


After you’ve become comfortable with a prefilled system, you might find yourself wanting to explore a wider world of flavours. This is the natural next step for many vapers, and it’s just as simple to take.


When you’re ready for more variety, a refillable pod kit is the perfect upgrade. These compact and easy-to-use devices give you the freedom to choose any flavour from bottled e-liquids, but the benefits don't stop there. Refillable kits also offer a greater degree of control over your vaping experience. Many devices feature adjustable airflow, allowing you to tailor the draw from a tight puff to a more airy inhale. Some even let you adjust the power output, giving you control over the warmth and intensity of your vape. This level of customisation helps you fine-tune your device to perfectly match your preferences, something that simpler, prefilled kits don't offer.


This is where our Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquid collection truly shines. It features the complete range of our celebrated flavours, bottled and ready for you to use in a compatible kit. We also offer a curated selection of third-party Vape Kits that we have tested and can confidently recommend for use with our Gold Bar vape liquid. 

A Simple Guide to Nicotine Strengths


Choosing the right nicotine strength can seem daunting, but it’s actually quite straightforward. Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquids are available in two strengths to suit different needs.


10mg (1%): We generally recommend this strength for those who were previously light or social smokers.


20mg (2%): This higher strength is typically better suited for those who were heavier smokers (e.g., a pack a day or more).


This is just a starting guide, and the most important factor is finding what works best for you. Don’t be afraid to try a different strength if your first choice doesn’t feel quite right. 

Conclusion


Making the move to vaping doesn’t need to be an intimidating process filled with intimidating setups and technical jargon. By starting with Nicotine Salt e-liquids, you are choosing a path that is defined by comfort, simplicity, and satisfaction. They represent the ideal starting point for a successful and enjoyable vaping setup.


We recommend a simple, two-step approach for all new vapers. Start easy with the plug-and-play convenience of a Gold Bar Prefilled Pod Kit. Then, when you’re ready to explore, you can dive into the incredible variety of our Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquid collection with a simple refillable device.


Whatever path you choose, we’re here to help. Feel free to browse our full range of kits and flavours, and don’t hesitate to contact our expert Customer Service team with any questions you may have. 

FAQS:


How long does a 10ml bottle of nic salt e-liquid last?
A 10ml bottle of Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquid provides great value and longevity. It contains up to 3500 puffs, making it a long-lasting option. The exact duration will depend on your personal vaping habits and the device you use.

Will nic salts feel harsh on my throat?
No, and that’s one of their main advantages for beginners. Nic salts are specifically formulated to provide a smooth and comfortable throat hit, even at the highest 20mg nicotine strength. This makes them much more approachable for new users than other e-liquid types.

What type of vape kit is best for a beginner using nic salts?
For a complete beginner, we recommend starting with a prefilled pod kit like the Gold Bar XL or Gold Bar Reload. They are the simplest devices to use as they require no setup or maintenance. Once you are more comfortable, a simple, low-powered refillable pod kit is the next perfect step.

Are the flavours in Gold Bar Nic Salts the same as in the single-use vapes?
Yes, absolutely. Our 10ml Gold Bar Nic Salt E-Liquid collection features the same authentic and popular Gold Bar vape flavours. This means you can continue enjoying your favourite tastes in a more sustainable and cost-effective refillable format.

Why are nic salts recommended for beginners over other e-liquids?
Nic salts are recommended for new vapers primarily because they offer a combination of a smooth throat hit and efficient nicotine delivery. This pairing makes the initial transition to vaping a much more comfortable and satisfying experience, helping new users to successfully make the switch.

What does 50/50 VG/PG mean in Gold Bar Nic Salts?
The 50/50 VG/PG ratio refers to the balance of the two main ingredients in the e-liquid: Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG). A 50/50 blend provides a perfect equilibrium between flavour clarity, throat hit, and vapour production, making it ideal for the low-powered pod kits that we recommend for new vapers.
