IVG Product Ranges
IVG makes several distinct product lines, each aimed at a different vaping style. Here's the quick rundown:
IVG 50/50
The classic entry point. These are 10ml bottles with a 50% PG / 50% VG ratio — ideal for standard coil kits, pens, and beginner devices. Available in 6mg and 12mg nicotine strengths, with the same great flavours in a thin, versatile liquid. Perfect if you want a traditional throat hit without switching to nic salts.
IVG Bar Salts
IVG's answer to the disposable ban. Bar Salts are 10ml nic salt bottles engineered to replicate the flavours and sensation you'd expect from a disposable vape, but in a reusable pod kit. Available in 10mg and 20mg, and designed specifically for low-wattage pod devices. Hugely popular with vapers transitioning away from single-use bars.
IVG 2400
Before the UK disposable ban, IVG released the 2400 as a multi-pod disposable alternative. As a concept, it proved that IVG understood what vapers wanted from a convenient, flavour-forward device. Many of those flavours now live on in the IVG Bar Salts range.
IVG Shortfills
IVG's flagship shortfill range comes in 50ml bottles with a 70% VG / 30% PG ratio, leaving room for a nic shot. These are built for sub-ohm tanks and produce excellent vapour volume. The flavours are more complex and layered than the 50/50 range — desserts, fruits, and menthols all perform brilliantly at higher wattages.

Best IVG Flavours for Beginners
If you're new to vaping and not sure where to start with IVG, these flavours are the easiest to enjoy and the least likely to put you off:
- IVG Menthol (50/50, 12mg) — clean, familiar, great throat hit. A brilliant first buy for ex-menthol smokers.
- IVG Tobacco (50/50, 12mg) — mellow and smooth. Takes the edge off cigarette cravings without tasting artificial.
- IVG Strawberry Watermelon Ice (Bar Salt, 20mg) — sweet, fruity, and satisfying. Beginners love the fruit-ice combination.

IVG Bar Salts: Are They Worth It?
If you were a disposable vape user — or you still reach for a disposable when your main kit is charging — IVG Bar Salts are specifically designed for you. Here's our honest take:
Who They're For
IVG Bar Salts are engineered to deliver the same flavour intensity, nicotine satisfaction, and smooth inhale that made disposables so popular. The key difference is you're putting them into a refillable pod kit instead of throwing away a plastic device every few days.
Flavour Accuracy
IVG has done an exceptional job here. The Bar Salt flavours genuinely mirror the disposable equivalents — Strawberry Watermelon Ice, Cola Ice, Banana Ice, and Grape Ice all taste virtually identical to what you'd get from a single-use bar. For vapers who are loyal to specific disposable flavours, that's exactly what they need to hear.
Nicotine Satisfaction
At 20mg nic salt, IVG Bar Salts deliver a fast, smooth nicotine hit — no harsh throat burn. The nicotine salts formula means absorption is quicker than freebase nicotine, which makes the switch from cigarettes or disposables much more manageable.
Value
A 10ml IVG Bar Salt bottle typically costs around £3–£4 and provides roughly the same number of puffs as a single disposable bar, often more. You save money, reduce waste, and get the same flavour. It's a straightforward win.
