IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Forest Berries Ice at a glance

IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Forest Berries Ice is a nicotine salt e-liquid in a 10ml bottle, made by IVG and built around a dark berry flavour with a cool finish. It is listed here at £2.99 a bottle in a single 20mg strength, and it sits inside the 5 for £10 nic salt offer, which brings the price down to £2.00 per bottle when you mix and match five. This page goes through what a UK adult vaper should know before buying: how it tastes, how it behaves in a pod kit, what to pair it with, how to look after it and what it costs over time.

Nic salt liquids are made for small, low-power devices. If you vape with a refillable pod kit, a slim mouth-to-lung style device or any system that uses a coil with a relatively high resistance, this is the sort of liquid it is designed for. If your device is a sub-ohm tank built for large clouds, it is the wrong tool, and a shortfill would be a better fit. We say that early because most disappointing nic salt purchases come from pairing the wrong liquid with the wrong hardware rather than from anything wrong with the bottle itself.

The key facts, so you can check them quickly:

• Brand: IVG
• Format: nicotine salt e-liquid, 10ml bottle
• Flavour: Forest Berries Ice, a blackberry and blackcurrant led berry mix with an icy finish
• Base: 50/50 PG/VG
• Strength on this listing: 20mg/ml (2 percent), the UK legal maximum
• Price: £2.99, or £2.00 each when you buy five nic salts for £10
• Suited to: refillable pod kits and mouth-to-lung devices

Because this is a liquid and not a device, there is no battery, no coil and no puff counter attached to the bottle. Those come from the kit you pour it into. Later sections explain how to estimate how much vaping a bottle gives you, which kind of coil suits it, and how to keep the battery side of your kit in good order, because the experience depends on both halves working together.

It is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers only. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is strictly for people aged 18+. If you do not currently smoke or vape, it is not for you.

Flavour profile: dark berries with an icy finish

Forest Berries Ice belongs to the family of mixed dark berry flavours. The label points to a blend led by blackberry and blackcurrant, then lifted with a cooling layer. Tasting notes are always personal, so treat what follows as a guide to what the flavour is aiming for rather than a promise of what your palate will pick out.

On the inhale, expect a rounded, slightly tart berry impression rather than a sugary candy one. Blackcurrant tends to bring a darker, sharper edge, while blackberry adds a softer, jammy sweetness underneath. Together they give the liquid more body than a single light fruit would, which is why mixed berry profiles often suit people who find simple strawberry or watermelon flavours too thin.

The ice component arrives mostly on the exhale. It is a cooling sensation rather than a hard menthol blast, and it tends to flatten the sweetness a little so the berries do not feel cloying across a long session. If you like a flavour that stays fresh from the first fill to the last, that is a real advantage. If you prefer your fruit warm and dessert-like, the ice may feel like it is getting in the way.

What you are likely to notice in everyday use:

• Sweetness: moderate. Present, but held back by the tart blackcurrant side and the cooling finish.
• Cooling: noticeable on the exhale, lighter than a dedicated menthol or mint liquid.
• Body: fuller than a single-fruit ice flavour because of the blended berries.
• Aftertaste: a clean, slightly tart berry note that fades quickly rather than lingering.

Flavour in a nic salt behaves a little differently from the same recipe in a freebase liquid. Because salts are normally vaped at lower power, you get a gentler, more concentrated taste per puff, without the heat that can brighten or burn off delicate notes at higher wattage. That works in the favour of a berry blend like this one. It also means the flavour will not feel as big or as vapour-heavy as it would in a large sub-ohm tank, and that is by design.

One practical point on tasting it fairly. Give a new bottle a full tank or pod before judging it. The first few puffs after a flavour change are often muddied by whatever was in the coil before, and a cooling flavour is the hardest to judge on a tired palate. If you are switching from a heavy dessert or tobacco liquid, expect the berries to read as brighter than they really are for the first few minutes.

Performance: throat hit, nicotine delivery and vapour

A nic salt is not a different flavour, it is a different way of carrying nicotine. Salt nicotine is paired with an acid, most commonly benzoic acid, which lowers the pH of the liquid. The practical result is that nicotine at a given strength feels smoother on the throat than the same strength of freebase nicotine would. That smoothness is the reason salts are the standard choice for small pod devices, where a freebase liquid at 20mg would be harsh.

Do not mistake smooth for weak. At 20mg/ml, which is 2 percent and the UK legal ceiling, this liquid still delivers a clear throat sensation, and the cooling effect adds to how that sensation is perceived. Many people find that a couple of gentle puffs is enough, and that long, hard draws are unnecessary and uncomfortable at this strength. If you have been used to a lower strength, take the first few puffs short and see how it sits before settling into a rhythm.

What the performance looks like in a typical setup:

• Throat hit: moderate to firm at 20mg, softened by the salt format and sharpened slightly by the ice.
• Vapour: modest. A 50/50 base in a small pod produces visible vapour, but nothing like a cloud-chasing setup.
• Flavour delivery: consistent from fill to fill, as long as the coil is in good condition.
• Draw style: mouth-to-lung, meaning you draw into the mouth first and then inhale.

There is no puff count printed on a bottle of e-liquid, because the number of puffs you get depends entirely on your device and habits. As a rough planning guide, UK refillable pods hold up to 2ml, so a 10ml bottle fills a typical pod around four to five times once you allow for small spills and the amount left in the pod. Moderate users commonly find a bottle lasts somewhere between one and two weeks, while someone who vapes steadily all day will get through it faster. Treat those numbers as a guide, not a guarantee.

Consistency is the other half of performance. A salt liquid at 20mg gives you a predictable amount of nicotine per millilitre, so the way you vape matters more than the bottle does. Chain vaping with long draws will use the liquid quickly and can leave you feeling lightheaded. Pacing yourself, taking shorter puffs and putting the device down between uses will give a steadier experience and make the bottle last longer. If you feel unwell at any point, stop and let it pass.

The 50/50 PG/VG base, the 10ml bottle and build quality

PG and VG are the two carriers that make up almost every e-liquid. Propylene glycol is thin and carries flavour and throat hit well. Vegetable glycerine is thicker, slightly sweet and produces denser vapour. A 50/50 split sits in the middle, and for nic salts that is the usual choice. It is thin enough to wick quickly through the small cotton or mesh in a pod coil, and it still produces a satisfying amount of vapour at low power.

That wicking point matters more than it sounds. Thicker, VG-heavy liquids can starve a small coil of fuel, causing dry, burnt-tasting puffs. A 50/50 salt avoids that problem in the vast majority of pod systems, which is why it is the sensible default for this kind of device. If you own a kit that specifically asks for a high-VG liquid, check the manual before filling, because most pod kits designed around salts will list 50/50 as suitable.

On the bottle itself, UK rules shape how it is built. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, nicotine e-liquid has to be sold in containers of no more than 10ml, with a child-resistant closure and a tamper-evident seal. The label has to carry a nicotine health warning, an ingredients list and batch information. That is a useful checklist when your parcel arrives:

• The cap should have an intact tamper-evident ring that breaks when you first open it.
• The child-resistant mechanism should need you to press or squeeze while turning.
• The label should show the flavour, strength, volume and the nicotine warning clearly.
• The nozzle should be a narrow tip designed for filling small pod ports without spilling.

If any of those are missing or look disturbed, do not use the bottle and contact the shop. Genuine UK stock is supplied through distribution channels that follow these rules as standard, and every order here is packed in plain, discreet packaging.

Treat the bottle as a sealed, light-sensitive product. Keep it upright, out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and store it well out of the reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is hazardous if swallowed or if it gets on skin or in eyes. If you spill any, wipe it up promptly and wash your hands. Keeping it in its original packaging in a cool drawer is simple and works well.

Matching it to your kit: coils, mesh and power

The bottle gives you the liquid, but the coil decides how it tastes and how long it lasts. We are describing category-level guidance here, not claiming specifications for any particular device, so always check what your own kit manufacturer recommends.

Nic salts are designed for coils with a higher resistance and lower power draw. Many pod systems built for salts use coils in roughly the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range, often with a mesh or ceramic wicking surface, and run at low wattage. In that kind of setup, a 50/50 salt vaporises evenly, tastes close to how it is meant to, and does not overheat. Pushing the same liquid through a low-resistance sub-ohm coil at high wattage usually ends badly. The liquid burns off too quickly, the nicotine hit becomes harsh and the bottle disappears at an alarming rate.

Here is how the main coil types tend to behave with a berry and ice flavour like this one:

• Mesh coils: a wide, flat heating surface that warms the liquid evenly. Good for flavour clarity and a long coil life, which is why they are common in current pod kits.
• Ceramic coils: clean, consistent flavour that suits delicate fruit notes. They can be slower to wick, so avoid thickening the liquid by storing it somewhere cold.
• Standard wire and cotton coils: reliable and cheap to replace, with a slightly warmer, rounder flavour. Prime them carefully so the cotton is fully wet before firing.

Sweet and cooling liquids leave a little more residue on coils than clear or tobacco flavours, simply because sugars and sweeteners caramelise on the heating surface over time. Practically, that means you should plan to replace the coil or pod more often than you would with a non-sweet liquid. A good rule is to swap it when the flavour fades, when you notice a faint burnt or flat taste, or when the vapour output drops, usually within one to two weeks of regular use, depending on how often you vape.

Power matters too. Most salt-friendly pod kits are either auto-draw with a fixed output or offer a small adjustable range. If your device lets you choose, start at the lower end and increase slowly. With 20mg, you rarely need the top of the range to enjoy the flavour, and lower power means the cooling note stays crisp instead of turning warm and flat. If your device has adjustable airflow, a tighter draw suits the mouth-to-lung style that nic salts are built for.

Battery and charging: keeping your kit ready

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery, but the battery in your device has a direct effect on how good the liquid tastes. A device running low often delivers weaker heat and thin, muted vapour, and many people blame the liquid when the real cause is a flat battery. If this flavour suddenly seems dull, charge the kit before you change anything else.

Refillable pod kits generally use small built-in rechargeable batteries, with capacities that vary by model, so check the figure printed on your own device rather than assuming. The good news is that nic salts are vaped at low power, which means the battery lasts longer per charge than it would driving a sub-ohm tank at high wattage. For a typical user, a pod kit often lasts a full day or close to it between charges.

Sensible charging habits keep the battery healthy and safe:

• Use the cable that came with the device, or a good-quality USB cable from a reputable source.
• Plug into a standard wall adapter or computer port rather than a cheap unbranded charger.
• Do not leave the device charging unattended or overnight on a bed, sofa or other soft surface.
• Stop charging if the device becomes hot, swollen, or smells odd, and do not use it again.
• Keep a spare device or pod in a separate case, away from keys, coins and anything metallic.

If you carry your kit with you, a pocket full of loose change is the usual cause of short circuits, so a small case or a closed compartment is worth the effort. Do not leave a kit in a hot car or direct sunlight either, as heat degrades lithium batteries and can also cause liquid to expand and leak from the pod.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in a household bin. Vapes and lithium batteries are classed as waste electrical equipment and can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants. Take old devices and batteries to a drop-off point such as a household waste recycling centre or a retailer that takes back electrical items. Empty or nearly empty e-liquid bottles should be disposed of according to your local council guidance, since they can contain residue.

Looking after the battery side pays off. A reliable device means the liquid you paid for performs as it should, and you do not waste bottles chasing a problem that a quick charge would have solved.

Nicotine strength: why this listing is 20mg

This particular listing is offered in 20mg only. That is 20mg of nicotine per millilitre, or 2 percent, which is the maximum strength permitted for nicotine e-liquids in the UK. It is the same ceiling that applies to prefilled and previously available disposable devices, so you will not find a legitimate UK product above it. A full 10ml bottle at this strength holds 200mg of nicotine in total, which is useful to know when you think about storage and keeping it away from children.

A 20mg salt is generally aimed at people who are currently smoking regularly, or at existing vapers who find lower strengths unsatisfying in a small, low-power device. Because small pod kits produce less vapour per puff than a large tank, the higher concentration compensates in a way that suits the design. It is not a strength for casual or occasional use, and it is certainly not for anyone who does not already use nicotine.

A few ways to think about whether 20mg suits you:

• Heavy daily smokers: 20mg is commonly where people in this group start, because a lower strength in a small device may leave them reaching for a cigarette.
• Light or social smokers: a lower strength is usually enough, so a 10mg salt from the wider IVG Nic Salt range may be a better fit.
• Existing vapers using 20mg: this is a straightforward flavour swap with the same strength.
• Existing vapers on 10mg: 20mg will feel noticeably stronger, so take short puffs at first.

If you find 20mg too strong, there are sensible options. You can take smaller, slower puffs and leave more time between them. You can move to a 10mg bottle of a similar flavour. You can also dilute a bottle with a nicotine-free base, though that is fiddly with salts, and we would only suggest it if you are experienced with mixing. Do not mix different brands or strengths in the same pod without knowing what you are doing, because the result is hard to predict and hard to correct.

Lowering your strength over time is a personal decision. This is not medical advice, and if you want support with your nicotine use, a pharmacist, GP or local stop smoking service can talk it through with you.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

No flavour or strength suits everyone, and an honest guide should say who is likely to be pleased and who should look elsewhere. Forest Berries Ice at 20mg is a fairly specific product.

It is a sensible choice if you:

• Are an adult smoker or existing vaper using a refillable pod kit or a mouth-to-lung device.
• Like dark, slightly tart fruit and a cool finish rather than very sweet candy flavours.
• Want a strong, smooth nic salt without paying premium prices.
• Buy several bottles at a time and want the 5 for £10 offer to bring the cost down.
• Prefer a liquid that does not need a high-power setup to taste right.

It is probably not the right choice if you:

• Use a sub-ohm tank at high wattage, because a 50/50 salt will not suit that hardware.
• Dislike cooling flavours, since the ice is part of the recipe and cannot be removed.
• Want a low nicotine level, because this listing is only offered at 20mg.
• Prefer dessert, bakery or tobacco profiles over fruit.
• Do not currently smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is only for adults who already use it.

It is worth being clear about the first-time buyer. If you are an adult smoker moving across to vaping for the first time, a 20mg nic salt in a simple refillable pod kit is a common starting point, and a fruit and ice flavour is an approachable one. That said, the strength is real. Start with short puffs, avoid chaining, and pay attention to how you feel. If a first bottle of 20mg feels too much, a 10mg option is the easy fix, and nothing is lost by trying.

It is also useful to compare it with your current liquid in a fair test. Fill a clean pod, give the coil a few minutes to soak, and vape it for a full day before deciding. A single afternoon rarely tells you everything about a flavour, and the cooling effect can seem stronger than it really is for the first hour. Keep a note of how the flavour changes through the day and how long a fill lasts, because that will tell you more about the value than the label does.

How to fill, prime and vape it

Filling a pod is simple, but a few habits make a real difference to flavour and leaks. Here is a routine that works for most refillable pod kits.

• Step one, prepare: switch the device off, wash and dry your hands, and place a tissue or kitchen paper under your work area.
• Step two, open the pod: remove the pod from the battery section and open the fill port. Some pods slide a silicone plug aside, others use a small flip cap.
• Step three, open the bottle: press and turn the child-resistant cap, and keep the bottle upright until the nozzle is in position.
• Step four, fill slowly: aim the nozzle at the side wall of the fill port, not the central air tube, and fill gently. Stop at the maximum line. If there is no marked line, leave a small air gap at the top.
• Step five, close up: wipe the pod, close the port fully and put the pod back onto the device. Cap the bottle straight away.
• Step six, wait: leave the filled pod for five to ten minutes so the cotton or mesh can soak through. This is the single most useful step for avoiding dry or burnt-tasting first puffs.

When it is time to vape, start with a few gentle draws to pull liquid into the coil, then settle into short, slow puffs. Draw into the mouth first, hold the vapour briefly, then inhale. Small puffs are better than long ones with a 20mg salt, both for comfort and for keeping the coil from overheating.

A few extra pointers:

• If your device has adjustable airflow, a tighter draw gives a firmer throat hit and a more concentrated flavour, and a looser draw gives a cooler, airier one.
• Do not top up on the move in a pocket or bag. Fill at a table, where a spill can be wiped up.
• Do not mix this with a different flavour in the same pod. Finish the pod, or empty it, rinse it with warm water if the manufacturer allows, and let it dry fully before changing flavour.
• Replace the coil or pod when the flavour weakens or turns burnt. A fresh coil makes a cheap liquid taste far better than an old one makes an expensive liquid taste.

Store the bottle upright, cap tight, in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Used correctly, a bottle stays in good condition for many months, and the flavour holds up well if it is not left in heat.

Troubleshooting: common problems and fixes

Most problems with a salt liquid are caused by the setup rather than the liquid. Work through these before you assume the bottle is at fault.

• Burnt or harsh taste: the coil is probably dry or worn. Let the pod soak for longer after filling, take a few gentle priming draws, and replace the coil or pod if the taste persists. Sweet flavours can build residue faster, so this is a common cause.
• Weak or muted flavour: check the battery first, then the coil age. Also try a different airflow setting, as a very open draw can dilute the taste. If you have vaped the same flavour for days, your palate may be tired, and a short break often brings the berries back.
• Gurgling or spitting: the coil has been flooded. This often follows overfilling or filling too quickly. Blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, wipe the pod and let it settle before firing.
• Leaking from the pod or device: the usual causes are overfilling, a pod that is not seated correctly, or heat and pressure changes. Check the fill port seal and make sure you filled below the maximum line.
• Throat hit too strong: take shorter and slower puffs, loosen the airflow a little, or move to a lower nicotine bottle.
• Dry hits with a full pod: the liquid is not reaching the coil. Tilt the pod, tap it gently, wait a few minutes and try again. If this repeats, replace the coil.
• Sticky residue on the device: wipe with a dry cloth. Residue builds up from tiny spills at the fill port, and cleaning it prevents the pod from sticking in the battery.
• Flavour changes between fills: usually a sign of a gunked coil or storage in heat. Keep the bottle cool and replace the coil on schedule.

If you have worked through that list and a sealed, in-date bottle still tastes wrong or arrives damaged or leaking, contact the UK team with your order number and a short description of the issue. Photos of the bottle and label help. We would rather sort it quickly than have you struggle with a bottle you cannot enjoy.

One safety note. If nicotine liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with water straight away. If it gets in your eyes or is swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. Keep all e-liquid out of reach of children and pets.

Value for money and honest comparisons

Price is where this bottle does well. A single bottle is £2.99. Under the 5 for £10 nic salt offer, five bottles cost £10, which works out at £2.00 each. Bought as five singles, the same bottles would cost £14.95, so the multibuy saves £4.95. Worked out per millilitre, that is roughly 30p per ml at the single price and 20p per ml on the multibuy.

To make that concrete, a 2ml pod fill costs around 60p at the single price and 40p at the multibuy price. If you refill once or twice a day, the daily liquid cost is modest. The multibuy is mix and match across nic salts, so you can add four other flavours from the same range, or other brands, and still hit the offer.

Value is not just price. A cheap liquid that tastes flat or burns a coil quickly is poor value, and an expensive one that you finish happily may be better. So here is a fair look at where this bottle stands against alternatives, without overstating anything.

• Against the standard IVG Forest Berries Ice e-liquid: the same flavour name also appears as a non-salt liquid at £2.95. The salt version is the one for pod kits, because it is smoother at 20mg. The non-salt version is aimed at different devices.
• Against IVG Intense Salts Forest Berries Ice: the Intense Salts line is listed at £3.95 with a 3 for £10 offer. It is a separate product with its own listing, so check that page for its details before deciding. This one is the cheaper option per bottle on the multibuy.
• Against the 100ml shortfill: IVG also lists a Forest Berries Ice 70/30 shortfill for large sub-ohm tanks. That is nicotine-free and built for a different style of vaping, so it is a different purchase rather than a cheaper alternative.
• Against other brands: the shop also stocks nic salts from brands such as Elfliq and Doozy Vape Co. Many of them are comparable 10ml salts. We would not claim that IVG tastes better than any of them. Flavour preference is personal, and the fairest approach is to buy a mixed five and see which you finish first.

Fair limitations are worth stating. This listing is a single 20mg strength, so it is not the answer for anyone wanting a lower nicotine option. The ice will not appeal to everyone. And as with any nic salt, it is only as good as the device you use it in. Where it does well is in being an affordable, straightforward berry and ice salt for people with the right kit and a regular habit.

UK rules, recycling and delivery

Buying nicotine e-liquid in the UK comes with a clear set of rules, and understanding them helps you judge whether a seller and a product are genuine. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, bottles are capped at 10ml, refillable tanks and pods are capped at 2ml, and packaging has to be child-resistant and tamper-evident. Products have to be notified to the regulator before they can be sold, and every sale must be to someone aged 18 or over. This bottle follows those rules, and every order here goes through age-verified checkout.

You may remember the 20mg limit being discussed in connection with disposable vapes. The same cap has always applied to prefilled and disposable devices. Single-use vapes have since been banned from sale in Great Britain from June 2025, which is a large part of why refillable kits and bottled liquids like this one are now the mainstream route for many adult vapers.

Recycling matters just as much as buying legally. Please do the following:

• Take old vapes, pod kits and any lithium batteries to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer offering electrical take-back.
• Never put batteries or devices in kerbside bins, as they can ignite in collection vehicles.
• Finish the bottle before throwing it away, then follow your local council guidance for empty plastic bottles with residue.
• Do not pour spare liquid down a sink or drain.

Delivery is straightforward. Orders placed on weekdays before 4pm are dispatched the same day. UK delivery uses Royal Mail Tracked 24, free on orders over £20 and £1.99 below that. Because the 5 for £10 offer makes a mixed set of salts an easy basket to build, many customers reach the free delivery level without trying. Everything ships in plain, discreet packaging, and the checkout includes age verification.

For returns, unopened and unsealed product can be returned within 14 days. Liquids cannot be resealed once opened, so for anything opened that arrives faulty, damaged or leaking, contact the UK team with your order details and they will advise. Stock is genuine and comes through UK distribution, and the product page carries more than 200 customer reviews if you want to read how other buyers have found it.

Remember that this is a product for adults who already use nicotine. If you are under 18, or you do not smoke or vape, please do not buy it.
