We’ve got a brand new range of bar salts in for this review thanks to Vape Club, today we will be looking at the Bard E-Liquid range!
UK-based Bard E-Liquid have become one of the fastest growing E-Liquid brands, thanks to an ethos of offering top quality, great tasting e-liquids at an affordable price.
Bard E-Liquid pride themselves on using only the finest ingredients to create bold flavours.
Not only do Bard E-Liquid offer a range of nicotine salt based e-liquids, but they also cater to the DIY enthusiast with their range of Bard Tech flavour concentrates which boast over 40 different flavours.
What Can We Expect From The Bard E-Liquid Range?
Plenty of bar salt styled flavours are to be found here, with a range of 12 different flavours boasting fruit, soda and ice notes throughout with plenty of bold and punchy flavours.
Bard E-liquids have also been crafted specifically for use in refillable pod kits and are designed to be kinder on coils, for long lasting flavour and a better environmental footprint.
You’ll get more lifespan out of your pods using e-liquids that aren’t harsh on the coil!
Formulated using super smooth pharmaceutical grade nicotine, 10mg and 20mg strengths are available through Vape Club. Nicotine salt is used for a smooth throat hit and fast craving satisfaction.
The range is mixed to a 50/50 VG/PG ratio making them ideal for use in a refillable pod system.
All of their TPD compliant flavours undergo rigorous testing to ensure the highest safety and quality standards are met.
I was sent the 20mg strength versions for review. I vaped them in my Voopoo Argus E40 refillable pod system with a 0.6ohm pod and in my SXMini Puremax with a 0.8ohm pod.
Before I start this review, I need to make you aware that this is based on my opinion only and my experiences vaping this range in the devices mentioned above.
Your own experience may differ, as personal preferences and vaping set ups used can affect your own perception of an e-liquid.
Many thanks to Vape Club for sending the Bard E-Liquid range over for review. Let’s see what this range has to offer!
Tropical Fruits
They say
Bard Tropical Fruits e-liquid offers a vibrant and exotic vaping experience, blending an array of tropical flavours that transport you to a sun-drenched paradise.
We say
I was half expecting this to taste like a Fruit Salad Sweet, which is probably down to the colour scheme on the packaging, but Tropical Fruits tastes a lot different!
What I get from this is predominantly a blend of authentic tasting mango and pineapple flavouring, complete with a citrus undertone. It sets the tone for a very juicy and sweet e-liquid blend!
The undertone features an orangey, citrus flavour which really blends in well with the pineapple and mango notes, completing the exotic vibe of this e-liquid.
Lemon Ice
They say
Prepare your taste buds for a zesty sensation with the top note of Bard Lemon Ice e-liquid. Experience the sharp and tangy flavour of freshly squeezed lemons, evoking images of sunny citrus groves and refreshing lemonade stands. The top note introduces a burst of lemony goodness that instantly awakens your senses and tantalises your palate.
We say
I could not help but think just how crisp this e-liquid tasted from start to finish and that is something that I find makes for one hell of a refreshing e-liquid.
Top marks go to the lemon flavouring used in this. It pretty much perfectly captures the taste of a lemon and delivers zesty, citrus notes to my palate. Just like freshly squeezed lemon juice!
The cooling breeze at the end of this is almost perfection, it’s a little on the strong side (just how I like it!) and when mixed with the authentic lemon flavouring and the sugary sweetener it gives off the vibe of a fresh homemade lemonade.
Genuinely, I felt that this was absolutely fantastic and one of the best tasting Lemon Ice e-liquids that I have ever tried – and I’ve got through a fair few in my time!
Strawberry Raspberry Cherry
They say
Bard Strawberry Raspberry Cherry e-liquid presents a harmonious blend of luscious berries, combining the sweetness of ripe strawberries, the tanginess of fresh raspberries and the rich flavour of succulent cherries.
We say
I came away really impressed by this one, there’s plenty of Strawberry Raspberry Cherry blends on the market but I have to say that this one from Bard E-Liquid is up there with the very best of them all.
And the main reason for this is the flavourings that are used, they taste authentic rather than artificial and although this blend is quite sweet, it doesn’t taste like it has been absolutely overloaded with sweetener.
The primary flavours here are strawberry and raspberry, bringing in sweet and tangy flavour notes. These two flavours are underpinned by a rich and bold cherry flavouring that adds a thick mouthfeel to this blend.
A very tasty blend of three fruits that has been skilfully mixed by the Bard E-Liquid team!
Pineapple Ice
They say
Bard Pineapple Ice e-liquid delivers a tropical escape with a refreshing twist, combining the sweetness of ripe pineapple with a cool blast of menthol.
We say
Pineapple Ice e-liquids are absolutely plentiful in the e-liquid market but the ones that set themselves apart for me are the blends that go for clean, authentic flavour with a crisp chill at the end.
And thankfully that is just what this offering from Bard E-Liquid achieves. The pineapple flavouring is very authentic indeed, almost like biting into an actual pineapple itself. It is balanced well with the menthol chill that finishes off proceedings.
There’s a nice and strong chill at the end to round things off, making for a delicious, refreshing pineapple ice vape.
Ice Menthol
They say
BARD Ice Menthol e-liquid offers a chilling blast of pure menthol freshness, providing a crisp and invigorating vaping experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalised.
We say
I do love a good menthol e-liquid and I still vape menthol on a weekly basis. The crisper and stronger the better for me!
This is a very crisp and strong menthol. There’s a hint of mint before a full frontal chilly blast washes over my tastebuds and leaves me with a very cold mouthfeel. This is ideal for curing vapers tongue or for refreshing your palate in between changing flavours!
Might be a little too strong for some but pretty much just right for me!
Super Fruit
They say
Bard Super Fruit e-liquid offers a nostalgic and delightful vaping experience reminiscent of your favourite childhood candies.
We say
So this is a Gummy Bear styled e-liquid with quite a substantial amount of depth to it.
Now I must say that this one is very sweet! In my opinion it was the sweetest one of the Bard E-Liquid range that I tried. So if you have a (very) sweet tooth then get all over this one!
Well from the first puff I could pick up on quite a lot of flavours. I was getting mixed berry and citrus notes along with the taste of the clear Gummy Bears.
The mouthfeel is kind of crazy, there’s almost like a chewy texture to it, there’s definitely some magic at play here!
I’m not the biggest fan of mixed fruit Gummy Bear flavours as I usually feel like there is too much going on for me flavour wise as well as too much sweetness. But this one was actually pretty vapeable I found as I could pick up on quite a lot of the flavours present!
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
They say
Bard Blueberry Cherry Cranberry e-liquid offers a harmonious fusion of ripe berries, combining the sweetness of blueberries with the tartness of cherries and cranberries.
We say
I liked the interplay here between the sweetness from the blueberries and the tart notes from the cherry and cranberry flavouring. It gives off a tasty little contrast of flavours that I very much enjoyed!
I didn’t feel like one flavour dominated any of the others either, I could distinctly taste all three flavours which I enjoyed, as sometimes I struggle to pick up on cranberry in other e-liquids.
Lemon Lime
They say
Lemon Lime e-liquid from Bard offers a zesty and refreshing fusion of two iconic citrus flavours, delivering a vibrant burst of tangy goodness with every puff.
We say
With this one, I get a blend of a very zesty lemon flavour and a lime that tastes like squeezed lime juice. It’s a very nice blend of two popular flavours underpinned with a subtle cooling note throughout.
There’s not too much that makes it stand out from the rest of the lemon and lime e-liquids on the market, but it’s a solid, authentic tasting smooth experience.
Energy Ice
They say
Bard Energy Ice e-liquid captures the electrifying essence of your favourite energy beverage, delivering a bold blend of invigorating flavours and a jolt of refreshment.
We say
As you would expect, this is an energy drink flavour with a chill running through it that tries to replicate the taste of an energy drink straight out of the fridge.
And as with an energy drink, it tastes quite artificial and chemical-like, but there are some notes of mixed tropical fruit and citrus in the background.
I haven’t found too many energy drink styled flavours that I have truly enjoyed. I personally don’t think it is something that best translates into an e-liquid flavour!
Cherry Cola
They say
Bard Cherry Cola e-liquid captures the nostalgic essence of a classic soda, blending the bold taste of cherries with the effervescence of cola.
We say
I’m very partial to a Cherry Cola flavoured e-liquid and this one hit the spot I must say!
I was very impressed with Bard E-Liquids efforts to replicate the actual cola taste, with the notes of vanilla, very subtle cinnamon and caramel. I would love to see them do a straight up classic cola flavour and add it to this range!
That classic cola taste is underpinned by a subtle cooling sensation, hints of cherry and even a little bit of fizz. Which was quite something considering as I seem to struggle to pick up on fizzy flavour notes in e-liquids.
It’s a very authentic tasting experience and gives off the mouthfeel of having a sip on an ice cold glass of cherry cola.
Mixed Berries
They say
Bard Mixed Berries e-liquid offers a luscious blend of ripe, succulent berries, delivering a symphony of sweet and tart flavours that tantalize your taste buds with each inhale and exhale.
We say
This mixed berry e-liquid features a blend of three different berries and I could pick up on raspberry, strawberry and blueberry here.
The raspberry and strawberry are the two dominant flavour notes found here, with an undertone of blueberry running through them. I would have liked the blueberry note to be just a touch stronger to add a bit more sweetness here.
I felt the sour notes from the raspberry definitely overpowered the sweeter notes.
Blue Raspberry Lemonade
They say
Blue Raspberry Lemonade e-liquid from Bard offers a refreshing burst of fruity and tangy flavours that dance on your taste buds with every inhale and exhale.
We say
On the inhale I get a pretty strong taste of artificial blue raspberry flavouring, a bit like what you would expect to find when drinking a Slushie. With a chilly undertone of delicious, sweet lemonade flavouring.
I absolutely love the lemonade notes present here but unfortunately, I felt that the blue raspberry flavouring tasted a little too artificial and overpowering, which ruined the experience a bit for me.
Final Review Verdict
Whilst vaping the Bard E-Liquid range I could not help but be impressed with just how smooth and flavoursome these are!
These don’t taste like over-flavoured disposable style flavours, but they still pack plenty of flavour.
It’s a range of authentic tasting e-liquids that pairs excellently with a refillable pod system and offers a far better alternative to using throwaway disposable vapes. The flavours are absolutely spot on and there’s plenty of puffs for your money from each 10ml bottle.
Plus, these are priced competitively at under £4 per bottle and I feel that you are really getting your money’s worth with these e-liquids. Great stuff from the Bard E-Liquid team!
