IVG Intense Salts Banana Ice: Cold Banana In A Bottle

IVG Intense Salts Banana Ice is a bottled nicotine salt e-liquid for adult vapers who own a refillable device and want a chilled banana flavour to put in it. It costs £2.89 a bottle, it comes in 10mg and 20mg, and it carries a BUY 5 FOR £10 offer that changes the value picture considerably once you are buying in any quantity. Like all nicotine containing e-liquid sold legally in the UK, it arrives in the standard 10ml bottle format with a child resistant closure.

IVG has been one of the more consistent names in British vaping for years, and the Intense Salts line is the part of the catalogue aimed squarely at everyday refilling rather than at collectors of unusual flavours. The recipes are direct, the flavour is front loaded, and the nicotine salt base is chosen because it stays smooth at strengths that would be uncomfortable in an older freebase liquid. That combination is what makes a bottle like this practical as a daily liquid rather than an occasional treat.

This is a liquid, not a device. You need something to put it in: a refillable pod kit or a mouth to lung device with a coil suited to high nicotine liquids. If that is not what you have, the bottle will do nothing for you on its own. If it is what you have, this is among the cheapest ways to keep it running. The wider IVG collection holds 540 products spanning liquids, pods and kits, and every comparable liquid we stock sits in the nicotine salt e-liquid range.

What Intense Actually Means On The Label

Brand names for liquid ranges are usually marketing, but Intense describes something real about how these recipes behave. The flavour concentration is pitched high, so the banana registers immediately on the inhale rather than creeping in behind the cooling agent. In a range where a lot of banana liquids taste vague, this one is legible from the first draw.

The banana itself is bright rather than heavy. There is none of the baked, custardy quality you find in dessert liquids, and none of the artificial pear note that badly made banana liquids drift into. It reads as fresh fruit with the sweetness turned up, clean edged, and it holds that shape all the way through the draw instead of collapsing halfway. The menthol arrives on the exhale as a firm, dry cold that clears the palate rather than sweetening it further.

The practical consequence of a high flavour concentration is that this liquid stays audible in situations where softer recipes disappear. After coffee, after a strong meal, or late in a long day when your palate has stopped paying attention, Banana Ice is still recognisably banana. That is the main argument for choosing an Intense recipe over a subtler one, and it is why the range works particularly well for people who vape steadily throughout the day rather than in occasional bursts. If banana is a flavour family you want to explore properly, the banana e-liquid collection gathers every interpretation we carry.

Which Devices This Liquid Belongs In

Nicotine salt liquids at 10mg and 20mg are designed for low power, high resistance, mouth to lung setups. In plain terms, that means small refillable pod kits and compact pen style devices with tight airflow, not large sub ohm tanks producing enormous clouds. Putting a 20mg salt into a high power device is genuinely unpleasant, because the amount of nicotine delivered per draw scales with the vapour produced, and you will feel it immediately in the back of the throat.

The correct pairing is a refillable pod device with a coil intended for salts. Those produce a modest amount of vapour, deliver flavour efficiently and use liquid slowly, which is exactly what you want when the liquid is this strong. UK rules cap a refillable tank or pod at 2ml, so a 10ml bottle will fill a small pod several times over, which is where the running cost advantage of bottles comes from.

If you do not own a refillable device and do not want to buy one, the honest answer is that a bottle is the wrong product for you. IVG makes prefilled kits that require no filling at all, such as the IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Banana Edition at £6.99, which delivers a banana profile with none of the handling. Those are the better route for anyone who wants to pick something up and use it rather than maintain it.

Five For £10: What The Offer Is Actually Worth

The BUY 5 FOR £10 offer on this liquid is one of the more aggressive multibuys on the site, and the arithmetic is worth spelling out. Five bottles at the single price of £2.89 would come to £14.45. Under the offer you pay £10 flat, which saves you £4.45 and brings the effective price to exactly £2.00 a bottle. That is a discount of roughly thirty one percent, which is a substantial reduction on a consumable you are going to buy repeatedly anyway.

Put in terms of use, five bottles is fifty millilitres of liquid. For someone refilling a small pod device, that is a serious amount of vaping, typically several weeks and often more depending on how heavily you use it. Buying at £2.00 a bottle rather than £2.89 compounds over a year into real money, particularly for anyone who has moved to vaping from a daily smoking habit and is comparing running costs.

You are not required to take five of the same flavour. The Intense Salts line runs to twenty four profiles including Blue Razz Lemonade, Frozen Cherries, Kiwi Passion Guava, Pink Lemonade, Retro Cola, Sour Green Apple and Strawberry Sensation, so the offer is also the cheapest way to build a varied shelf. Everything currently on this offer is grouped in the 5 for £10 e-liquids section, and the same principle applies across our nic salt multi-packs.

10mg Or 20mg When You Control The Refill

Buying liquid in bottles gives you a lever that prefilled pods do not: you choose the strength every time you restock, and you can change your mind cheaply. Twenty milligrams per millilitre is the legal maximum in the UK, so 20mg here is as strong as any nicotine e-liquid can be sold. Ten milligrams is the natural step down for anyone who finds that too much.

The usual advice applies. Heavier former smokers generally settle at 20mg, because a lower strength leaves them vaping more often to reach the same point, which uses more liquid and often feels less satisfying rather than more. Lighter users, and anyone who has been vaping for a while and wants to reduce their intake gradually, tend to do better at 10mg. Headaches, a slightly queasy feeling or light headedness after vaping are the standard indicators that the strength is too high for you.

There is a trick bottles allow that pods do not. If you buy both strengths, you can effectively sit between them by refilling with one and then the other, or by keeping two devices going at different strengths for different times of day. Plenty of people run 20mg in the morning when they most want it and 10mg later on. That kind of fine control is one of the strongest arguments for the bottled route over sealed pods, and at £2.00 a bottle under the multibuy it costs very little to experiment.

Filling Without Waste Or Mess

Refilling is simple but there are three habits that separate a clean fill from a sticky one. First, fill against the wall of the pod or tank rather than straight down the centre. The central column is the airway, and liquid poured into it goes directly to your mouth on the next draw, which is the cause of most complaints about a device tasting of raw liquid.

Second, do not fill to the very top. Leaving a small air gap allows the pressure inside the pod to equalise as you vape. A pod filled absolutely full has nowhere to expand when it warms in a pocket, and the excess pushes out through the airflow. That is the usual reason a device that behaved perfectly yesterday starts leaking today.

Third, respect the wait. A fresh coil or a newly refilled pod needs a few minutes for the wicking material to absorb liquid completely before you use it hard. Fit it, leave it, then take a couple of gentle draws before normal use. Skipping this is the single most common way people ruin a coil, and it produces a burnt taste that no amount of good liquid will fix afterwards. Close the bottle properly between fills, store it upright somewhere cool and dark, and keep it well away from children and pets, since the closure is child resistant rather than childproof.

Bottles Against Pods And Big Capacity Kits

There are three ways to buy nicotine in this shop and they suit different people. Bottled salts like this one are the cheapest per millilitre and the most flexible, since you control strength, flavour and how much you fill. The cost is involvement: hardware to buy, coils to replace, a small ritual every time you refill, and the discipline to carry a bottle if you are out for a long day.

Prefilled pods sit in the middle. You pay more per millilitre because the 2ml pod cap makes them less efficient by volume, and in exchange you never touch liquid, never buy coils and change flavour in seconds. Large capacity prefilled kits sit at the third point, with a big sealed liquid reserve and a rechargeable battery, which gives the lowest cost per puff of the prefilled options with no maintenance at all.

Most long term vapers eventually run two of these systems at once. A refillable device at home fed by bottles like this keeps ongoing costs down, while a prefilled kit covers travel, work and nights out where carrying a bottle is inconvenient. If that second half appeals, IVG's own prefilled range includes the IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Blue Raspberry Ice and the IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Cherry Edition, both at £6.99.

Ordering, Delivery And Age Verification

Every IVG liquid we list is genuine stock through legitimate UK supply and complies with UK regulations, including the 20mg nicotine strength ceiling, the 10ml bottle limit for nicotine containing liquid and mandatory child resistant packaging. Counterfeit e-liquid is a real problem in this market and it is not something you can identify by looking at a bottle, which is the reason buying from a proper retailer matters.

Anything ordered before 4pm on a working day is dispatched that same day, and delivery inside the UK is free once your basket passes £20. The five for £10 offer makes that easy to reach, and since e-liquid keeps well when stored properly, buying ahead rather than one bottle at a time is both cheaper and more convenient. Keep bottles upright, cool and out of direct sunlight and they will hold their flavour for a long time.

All sales are strictly 18+ and subject to age verification, and any order we cannot verify will not be completed. If Banana Ice turns out not to be your direction, the Intense Salts line covers everything from mint and menthol through to cola, lemonade and dark berry profiles, and the rest of the IVG catalogue continues well beyond that.

Where this sits in the IVG range

A single product tells you little; the shape of the range tells you a lot. 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 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquid 100ml Frozen Cherries at £7.99
• IVG 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquid 100ml Bubblegum at £7.99
• IVG 2400 Reload 4-in-1 Pods Citrus Edition at £5.99
• IVG Pro 10K Refill Pods Red Sour Raspberry at £4.99

If a brand has worked for you once, its other lines are usually a safer bet than an unknown.

How it compares to the rest of the category

Price alone is a poor guide, so it helps to see the field. We list 736 products in this category. At £2.89, 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.
• Prefer this flavour family? Browse the whole family rather than guessing at names.

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.

Banana Ice against the rest of the line

Same product, different flavour, is the fairest comparison available. There are 29 options under this name:

• Kiwi Passion Guava
• Pro Blue
• Strawberry Raspberry Cherry
• Vanilla Biscuit
• Strawberry Sensation
• Spearmint

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

A lot of the format decisions here were made by law, not by marketing. 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 single-use disposable ban reshaped the rest. 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. The upshot is less waste and a lower running cost, if you stick with one system.

Everything we sell is UK-compliant stock bought through UK distribution. Sales are 18+ and every order is age-checked.

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.

These are small habits that pay back in flavour consistency.

Buying this as a first purchase

First time buying this sort of product? The decisions that matter are simpler than the shelf suggests.

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 Banana Ice. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Everything else is preference rather than a decision that costs you money. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

More flavours in this line

The rest of the line, if you want to compare before choosing.

• Tropical Ice
• Summer Blaze
• Strawberry Watermelon
• Fizzy Cherry
• Riberry Lemonade
• Spearmint
• Blue Sour Raspberry
• Pineapple Ice

Rotating a pair is the simplest fix for flavour fatigue.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

The buying side is straightforward. 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.

Opened consumables are not returnable, which is standard for the category. Anything faulty or wrongly sent is our problem to fix, not yours. Sales are strictly 18+ and every order is age-verified before dispatch.

Nicotine is highly addictive, and nothing here is intended for non-smokers.

Common problems and how to avoid them

Most support questions we get come down to four things.

A burnt taste on a new bottle. Almost always a coil that was not primed. Fill it, then leave it a few minutes before the first draw so the wick saturates properly. Drawing on dry cotton scorches it, and once burnt it does not recover.

Leaking. Usually heat or pressure. Warmth thins liquid and pushes it through seals, so a hot car or a sunny windowsill is the usual culprit. Cabin pressure on a flight does the same thing, which is why storing spares upright in a bag beats loose in a pocket.

Flavour fading. Frequently the palate rather than the product. If a flavour dulls after a week, switching to a contrasting profile for a day or two usually brings it back sharply.

Buying the wrong fitment. Pods are not universal, and even within one brand the families differ. Check the listing names your device before ordering rather than after. Spares and accessories are grouped separately if you need a replacement part.

Reading puff counts and pack sizes honestly

Every headline figure in this category is generated under ideal conditions. This listing publishes no puff rating, and we will not invent one. That figure comes from laboratory testing with a consistent draw, not from someone using it on a cold morning at a bus stop. Your own total will differ, sometimes considerably.

The arithmetic only makes sense once you know the legal limits. UK rules cap a prefilled pod or tank at 2ml, and nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml. A five-figure puff rating therefore describes what a system delivers across all the pods you will work through, not what sits inside one pod on the shelf. Any brand claiming otherwise is describing a product that could not legally be sold here.

Use the number for comparison and nothing else. Comparing two products in the same class is fair. Budgeting your month on the strength of a rating is not. Cost per week, measured once you know your own pace, beats every figure on the box.
