Bard E-Liquid Flavour Shots in South Africa: Longfill Guide
Bard flavour shots are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to mix your own e-liquid in South Africa. Each 30ml bottle is a “longfill” — a concentrated flavour that already fills half the bottle, leaving room for you to top up with a nic shot and make a full bottle of ready-to-vape juice. If you have never mixed before, it sounds technical but takes about a minute. This ADVapes guide explains how Bard flavour shots work, how to mix one step by step, and how to pick from the range.
Nicotine products are for adult smokers and vapers aged 18+ only.
What a Bard flavour shot (longfill) is
A longfill is a concentrated e-liquid flavour supplied in an oversized bottle. Bard’s shots come as 15ml of concentrate in a 30ml bottle, which leaves 15ml of empty space on purpose. You add a nic shot into that space, shake, and end up with a full 30ml bottle of finished e-liquid at your chosen strength. Because you are buying mostly flavour and adding the base and nicotine yourself, longfills work out cheaper per millilitre than prefilled bottles — and you control the nicotine strength. Bard shots are MTL nic-salt profiles, so they suit pod kits and mouth-to-lung devices.
The options at ADVapes
Bard flavour shots are R160 for a 30ml longfill and come in a wide flavour range, including collaborations with well-known South African juice makers. You will find them in our Bard 30ml Flavour Shots range. A few popular picks in stock:
- Bard Strawberry Raspberry Cherry — a sweet, tangy triple-berry blend and one of the best sellers.
- Bard Tropical Fruits — a smooth mixed-tropical profile for all-day fruit vaping.
- Bard x Wiener Vape Gummy Grape — a candy-grape collab flavour with a sweet finish.
- Bard tobacco range — Gold, Silver and Bronze tobacco shots for ex-smokers who want a classic taste.
To finish a Bard shot you also need a nic shot. ADVapes stocks nic shots and freebase boosters in our spares and DIY sections — pair each 30ml Bard longfill with a 15ml nic shot.
How to mix a Bard flavour shot: step by step
- Start with your 30ml Bard shot. It arrives half full — that is the concentrated flavour, correct as supplied.
- Add a 15ml nic shot. Pour a 15ml nic shot (or freebase nic shot) into the bottle to fill it to 30ml. The strength of the nic shot sets the strength of your finished juice.
- Cap and shake well. Shake for 30–60 seconds so the flavour and nicotine base fully combine.
- Let it settle (optional). A short rest of a few minutes helps the mix homogenise; some vapers steep fruit blends for a day for a rounder taste, but Bard shots are pleasant right away.
- Fill your pod or tank. Prime a fresh coil first, then vape as normal.
That is it — one bottle, one nic shot, a shake, and you have a full bottle of custom-strength e-liquid.
FAQ
Do I have to add nicotine to a Bard flavour shot?
No. If you want zero-nicotine juice, top the bottle up with a nicotine-free base instead of a nic shot. To add nicotine, use a nic shot sized to reach your target strength.
What nicotine strength will I get?
It depends on the nic shot you add. A stronger nic shot in the 15ml top-up gives a stronger finished juice; check the nic shot’s mg rating and mixing chart on the product page.
What devices suit Bard shots?
Bard shots are MTL nic-salt profiles, so they are ideal for refillable pod kits like the Vaporesso XROS or OXVA XLIM and other mouth-to-lung setups.
