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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
