IVG Bar Favourites Nic Salts Blackcurrant Mango: a bar flavour poured into a bottle

IVG Bar Favourites Nic Salts Blackcurrant Mango is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid at £2.99, offered in 10mg and 20mg, and included in our BUY 5 FOR £10 offer. The name is doing something specific: this is not a random new flavour invented for a bottle, it is one of the combinations IVG already proved in its ready filled range, rebuilt so that people with refillable hardware can have the same taste.

That is a more useful idea than it first sounds. Anyone who has moved from sealed products to a refillable device knows the odd sense of loss that comes with it. The running cost drops immediately, the choice widens enormously, and yet the specific flavour you had grown attached to is suddenly nowhere to be found, because it only ever existed inside one brand's hardware. Bar Favourites exists to close that gap.

IVG is one of the largest names on this site, with 540 listings in the IVG collection spanning both bottled liquid and ready to use products. This bottle sits in the bottled half, alongside the rest of our nicotine salt e-liquids, and it is designed for the small refillable pod devices that most people use for mouth to lung vaping.

Blackcurrant Mango is the darkest and roundest of the eight flavours in the range, which we get into properly next.

How blackcurrant and mango behave in the same bottle

These two fruits are paired constantly, and it is worth explaining why the pairing works rather than treating it as a coincidence.

Blackcurrant is one of the sharpest fruits in the flavourist's toolkit. It is dark, tart, slightly tannic and instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up in Britain, where it has been the default fruit flavour in soft drinks and sweets for generations. On its own in an e-liquid it can be almost aggressive, and it dominates anything delicate placed next to it.

Mango does the opposite job. It is thick, sweet, faintly creamy and low in acidity, with a soft tropical body that fills out the back of a flavour rather than spiking the front of it. Where blackcurrant is a sharp edge, mango is weight.

Put them together and each one covers the other's weakness. The mango pads out the blackcurrant so the tartness reads as brightness rather than bite, and the blackcurrant stops the mango turning heavy and syrupy the way single fruit tropical liquids often do by the third or fourth refill of the day.

In practice you tend to taste them in sequence. Blackcurrant announces itself on the inhale, dark and jammy. Mango arrives underneath it and lingers after the exhale, rounder and sweeter. Neither is subtle, which is exactly what people want from a bar style flavour, and the combination stays interesting for far longer than a single note fruit does.

It is an all day flavour rather than an occasional one. There is no menthol and no dessert weight, so nothing about it fatigues the palate quickly.

The eight flavours in the Bar Favourites range

The range runs to Blackcurrant Mango, Blue Razz Lemonade, Lemon Peach Passion Fruit, Pink Fizz, Red Rush Ice, Sour Raspberry Pomegranate, Tropical Island and Watermelon. Read as a group it is a fair map of what British vapers actually reach for.

• Dark fruit. Blackcurrant Mango is the anchor here, jammy and rounded rather than sharp.
• Sweet and fizzy. Blue Razz Lemonade and Pink Fizz both lean on carbonated confectionery notes, with a sherbet lift that dark fruits do not have.
• Tropical. Lemon Peach Passion Fruit and Tropical Island are the layered fruit options, brighter and more acidic across the board.
• Sour. Sour Raspberry Pomegranate is the tartest thing in the range and the one to approach carefully if you dislike acidity.
• Cold. Red Rush Ice is the only member of the family with a cooling element, which makes it the outlier in a range that is otherwise all warmth and sweetness.
• Clean and simple. Watermelon is the least complicated of the eight and the safest choice for anyone who finds layered fruits muddled.

Because the multibuy offer works across five bottles, most people end up building a small rotation rather than committing to one flavour. Blackcurrant Mango is a sound base for that rotation precisely because it is not extreme in any direction, so it never clashes with whatever you put beside it.

10mg or 20mg: matching strength to the way you actually vape

This liquid comes in both available strengths, and choosing between them causes more first order regret than choosing the flavour does. The honest answer is that it depends less on how much you used to smoke and more on how you hold the device through the day.

Twenty milligrams suits you if you vape in short, deliberate sessions and then put the device down for a while. It is the UK legal maximum, so each puff carries more nicotine, and that satisfies people who want a distinct hit and then want to stop thinking about it. It is the usual starting point for adults arriving from a regular cigarette habit, and it is browsable across our 20mg e-liquids range.

Ten milligrams suits you if you graze. If the device lives in your hand while you work and you take the odd puff every few minutes, 20mg will feel like too much and will taste harsher than it needs to. Half strength gives you a gentler throat feel and lets you vape at a relaxed pace without overdoing it. The full 10mg e-liquids range covers that end.

Two practical notes. Nicotine salts are formulated so that higher strengths stay comfortable in the throat, which is why 20mg is workable at all in a small pod device; the same strength in an older style freebase liquid would be unpleasant. And flavour perception shifts with strength, so the same bottle can read slightly sweeter at 10mg because there is less nicotine sitting on top of the fruit. If you are ordering five bottles anyway, taking a couple of each strength is the cheapest way to settle the question for good.

BUY 5 FOR £10, and the arithmetic behind it

A single bottle is £2.99. Five bottles under the offer are £10, which puts each one at £2 and saves £4.95 against buying the same five individually. Expressed as a percentage that is a third off, which is a meaningful discount on a consumable rather than a token one.

The maths gets more interesting when you carry it across a year:

1. At one 10ml bottle a week, buying singly costs roughly £155 a year. On the offer it is roughly £104. You keep about £51.
2. At two bottles a week, singles cost roughly £311 across the year against roughly £208 on the offer. That is over £100 retained.
3. At a bottle a fortnight, the yearly difference is closer to £26, which is smaller but still free money for an order you were placing anyway.

Delivery feeds into this as well. UK carriage is free once a basket passes £20, so a single £10 bundle sits below that line while two bundles at £20 do not quite clear it either. Ten bottles plus one more item is the usual way people cross it, and since liquid does not spoil quickly there is little downside to buying ahead. Our whole 5 for £10 e-liquid section shows what else can go into the same bundle.

The saving nobody counts is the one you make by never running out. Keeping a small stock means you stop buying single bottles at convenience prices late at night, and across twelve months that habit is often worth more than the multibuy discount itself.

What hardware this liquid is made for

Nicotine salts at these strengths belong in small, low powered refillable devices used mouth to lung, meaning you draw the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale, in a rhythm close to how a cigarette is smoked. That style pairs with a tighter draw and modest vapour, and it is what compact pod kits are built around.

They do not belong in large sub ohm hardware. High powered devices vaporise far more liquid per puff, and 20mg salt liquid in that context delivers far more nicotine than anyone intends, as well as tasting unpleasant. If your device produces big clouds and a loose airy draw, this is the wrong bottle for it.

Two UK limits are worth repeating because they explain the shape of everything on this page. Refillable pods and tanks are capped at 2ml, and nicotine bottles are capped at 10ml. That means one bottle of this covers several fills, and it means no compliant device you buy here will hold a great deal at once regardless of price.

If you would rather have IVG flavours without any filling at all, the brand also makes ready to use kits, which is a completely different way of arriving at the same house style. The IVG 2400 Rechargeable Kit Banana Edition, the Blue Raspberry Ice edition and the Cherry edition all sit at £6.99 and require nothing of you beyond charging them. Plenty of people keep both: bottles at home where cost matters, something sealed in a jacket pocket for convenience.

Storing it, and getting a full bottle's worth of flavour

E-liquid is more sensitive to how it is kept than most people realise, and the difference between a bottle that tastes right at the end and one that has gone flat is almost entirely storage.

• Keep it dark. Light degrades both flavour compounds and nicotine over time. A drawer or a cupboard is ideal, a sunny windowsill is the worst place in the house.
• Keep it cool and stable. A car glovebox in August is a reliable way to ruin a bottle. Room temperature and steady is what you want.
• Keep the cap on tight. Air is the other enemy. Oxidation darkens liquid and dulls fruit notes, and a loose cap accelerates it considerably.
• Expect some colour change. Liquid going slightly darker over months is normal oxidation and not a fault.
• Respect the child resistant closure. It is there for a reason. Store bottles out of reach of children and pets at all times, without exception.

Fruit based nicotine salts do not need steeping the way some complex dessert recipes do. They are ready as soon as you open them. A gentle shake before filling is worth doing, since flavour concentrates can settle slightly if a bottle has stood for weeks.

One more habit worth adopting: when you switch to this from something very different, especially anything with menthol or a dessert base, give the pod a fill or two to clear. Residue lingers, and the first tank after a big flavour change never tastes the way the bottle actually tastes.

Ordering, and the rules that apply to both of us

Every bottle we ship is genuine, sourced through legitimate UK supply channels and compliant with the regulations that govern nicotine products in this country. That compliance is visible on the bottle itself in the form of the capped volume, the capped strength, the child resistant closure and the required warnings.

Weekday orders that reach us before 4pm are packed and handed over the same afternoon. Anything later goes out on the next working day. There is no charge for UK carriage once a basket passes £20, and since bundles of five sit at £10, most people simply combine two bundles and a small extra item to clear it.

We supply adults only. Age verification runs at checkout and an order that does not clear it is refunded rather than dispatched, which is not a policy we bend for anyone. Nicotine is an addictive substance. This product is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers, it is not suitable for non smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and it must be kept away from children and pets. Sales are strictly 18+.

If a bottle arrives damaged or the seal is compromised, contact us rather than using it and we will sort it out.

Where this sits in the IVG range

It is worth knowing what else the brand makes before you commit to one listing. We stock 540 IVG products, running from £2.89 to £11.99. That breadth means you can usually stay inside the brand when you want a change, rather than starting over somewhere else.

The full lineup is on the IVG page. Other IVG products worth a look:

• IVG Pro 10K Refill Pods Strawberry Ice at £4.99
• IVG Pro 10K Refill Pods Fizzy Strawberry at £4.99
• IVG 2400 Reload 4-in-1 Pods Watermelon Edition at £5.99
• IVG 2400 Reload 4-in-1 Pods Juicy Edition at £5.99

Brand loyalty in vaping is mostly about knowing what to expect, which counts for a lot.

How it compares to the rest of the category

The useful question is not what it costs, but what else that money buys. We list 736 products in this category. At £2.99, this one sits at the affordable end.

• Multibuy deals are where the price per unit drops hardest, and they can be mixed across flavours.
• Reduced lines carry 1,558 products if the budget is the deciding factor.
• Prefilled pods cost more per millilitre but remove the refilling entirely.

The honest answer is that most vapers end up owning two formats, not one.

The running cost, worked out

The useful figure is not the shelf price but the running cost once you settle into a rhythm.

No puff rating is published for this listing, so we will not invent a per-puff figure.

• The buy 5 for £10 offer is the single biggest lever on that number.
• Baskets over £20.00 ship free in the UK, so building to that threshold beats paying postage twice.
• Nicotine strength changes consumption: many adults find a higher strength means reaching for the device less often.

Blackcurrant Mango against the rest of the line

If this one is close but not quite right, its siblings are the obvious next step. There are 8 options under this name:

• Red Rush Ice
• Sour Raspberry Pomegranate
• Watermelon
• Tropical Island
• Pink Fizz
• Lemon Peach Passion Fruit

Palate fatigue is real: rotating two profiles keeps both tasting sharper for longer. The buy 5 for £10 offer makes that cheap to do.

Why the UK market looks like this

It helps to know which limits are legal and which are commercial. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. That is why you buy small bottles often rather than one large one.

The end of single-use disposables changed what sits on the shelf. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods took their place, which is why a device now comes with a charging port and a pod you swap rather than a sealed unit you bin. It also means the device outlives the flavour, which changes how you shop.

We only list compliant stock sourced through UK distributors. This is an 18+ product and orders are verified before dispatch.

Buying this as a first purchase

New to this format? Three decisions cover almost everything.

1. Format. A bottle is the cheapest way to vape per millilitre, but you refill it yourself. Prefilled pods remove that job at a higher cost.
2. Strength. This comes in 10mg and 20mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Blackcurrant Mango. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Get those three right and the rest is detail. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

A short list of habits prevents nearly every common problem.

• Prime before the first draw. Fill, then wait a few minutes so the wick soaks fully. A dry first pull is what burns a coil.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

Do those four things and most of the usual problems never appear.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

Ordering is deliberately simple. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. You pick the service at checkout.

We cannot resell an opened consumable, so opened items are outside the returns policy. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. Sales are strictly 18+ and every order is age-verified before dispatch.

Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.

What changed when disposables were banned

It is worth understanding why the products look the way they do. Single-use disposable vapes were banned in the UK, and the market replaced them with rechargeable devices that take replaceable pods. The experience is deliberately similar: prefilled, no measuring, no mess. The difference is that the battery survives the flavour, so you replace a pod for a couple of pounds rather than the whole unit.

For most people the change was an improvement, financially and otherwise. A device bought once and fed with pods costs less over a month than a stream of sealed units, and produces far less waste. It also changed how you shop: the decision splits into hardware first, then consumables, rather than being one purchase repeated endlessly.

Everything we list meets the current rules. That means 2ml pods, 10ml nicotine bottles and a 20mg strength ceiling, with age verification on every order. Rechargeable kits and replacement pods are the two halves of that system if you are still assembling yours.

Where IVG fits in the wider market

Brands in this category fall into two camps, and it is worth knowing which one you are buying from. We list 540 IVG products, which puts it among the largest ranges we carry. The complete list is on the IVG page.

Breadth cuts both ways. What it does give you is somewhere to go when you want a change without gambling on an unfamiliar name. Brands that make both hardware and liquid tend to design them to work together, which is why pods from one family rarely fit another. Brands that only make liquid put their effort into flavour development instead, and often outperform the hardware houses on taste alone.

Either way, the practical advice is the same. Once you find a brand whose profiles suit your palate, its other lines are a far safer bet than a random product at the same price. That is worth more than it sounds in a category where you cannot try before you buy. The full category runs to 736 products if you would rather compare across brands than within one.
