Overview of IVG Nic Salt Kiwi Passion Guava

IVG Nic Salt Kiwi Passion Guava is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid from IVG, a UK e-liquid brand that has been on shop shelves for years, built around a tropical three-fruit blend. It belongs to the brand's nic salt range, which is formulated for low-power hardware such as refillable pod kits, pen-style starter devices and small mesh-coil tanks. If you have been using disposables and want a refillable setup that gives you more control over flavour, strength and running costs, this is the kind of bottle you would pair with a pod system.

Here are the essentials at a glance, so you know exactly what you are buying:

• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, ready to use straight from the bottle with no mixing and no nicotine shots needed.
• Bottle size: 10ml, which is the maximum bottle size UK rules allow for nicotine-containing e-liquid.
• Nicotine strengths: nic salts in this range are normally offered at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml. Check the strength selector on the product page for what is in stock.
• Base: a balanced VG/PG blend, which is the usual formulation for salts and keeps the vapour smooth in low-wattage devices. The exact ratio is printed on the label of your bottle.
• Flavour: kiwi, passion fruit and guava, a fruit-forward tropical profile with no menthol or cooling agent suggested by the name.
• Best suited to: refillable pod kits and mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices running roughly 8W to 20W with coil resistance around 0.6 to 1.2 ohms.

It is worth being clear about what a bottle of e-liquid is not. It is not a device, it does not contain a battery, and it will not work in a sealed disposable. Single-use vapes have not been legal to sell in Great Britain since the June 2025 ban, so a refillable pod kit plus a bottle like this one is the practical route for anyone who liked the convenience and flavour range of disposables. The same 20mg/ml nicotine cap that applied to disposables applies to every nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK, so you will not find a stronger salt than 20mg here, and that is by design.

This guide goes through the flavour, how it vapes, which devices suit it, how to choose a strength, what to do when something goes wrong and how it stacks up against similar fruit salts. It is written for adults who already smoke or vape. If you have never used nicotine, this product is not for you, and nobody under 18 should buy or use it.

Flavour Profile: Kiwi, Passion Fruit and Guava

Three fruit flavours in one bottle can go wrong when one of them swamps the others, so it helps to know what each part contributes before you buy. The usual way this trio is built is with kiwi up front, passion fruit in the middle and guava underneath, and that layering is what makes the blend read as one tropical fruit rather than a muddle.

• Kiwi on the inhale: green, juicy and slightly tart. It tastes closer to the flesh of the fruit than to a kiwi sweet, and it gives the first second of each puff its brightness.
• Passion fruit in the middle: floral, tangy and a touch acidic. This is the note that keeps the blend from tasting flat, and it carries most of the tropical character.
• Guava on the exhale: soft, sweet and a little musky. It is the rounder, lower note that lingers on the tongue after you breathe out, and it is what makes the vape feel fuller than a simple kiwi liquid.

The sweetness level sits in the middle of the fruit-salt range. It is sweeter than a sharp sour-fruit liquid but nowhere near as heavy as a dessert or candy flavour, so it tends to stay pleasant through a full pod instead of becoming sickly after a few hours. There is no menthol or ice component implied by the name, so the vapour is warm to room temperature and soft rather than cold and crisp. If you like a chilled finish, this is not that profile. If you like a clean tropical juice taste, it is.

Flavour perception changes with settings. At lower wattage the kiwi and passion fruit tang come through more clearly and the guava stays subtle. Turn the power up and the guava sweetness and the fruit sugars become more dominant, with a slightly warmer, jammier taste. Nicotine strength matters too: 20mg salts add a little bitterness and pepperiness under the fruit, while 10mg lets the flavour sit more cleanly on top.

One practical point on taste fatigue. Fruit flavours with sweeteners can dull your palate over a few days, an effect vapers call vaper's tongue. If this liquid seems to fade, it is rarely the bottle itself. Drinking water, brushing your teeth, and switching to a different flavour family for a day usually brings the taste back. Many people keep two or three bottles from different families on rotation for exactly this reason, and a tropical fruit like this one pairs well with a menthol or a simple berry as a counterweight.

Performance and Puff Delivery

Nic salt e-liquid behaves differently from the freebase nicotine liquids people used in older tank devices. The nicotine is bound with an acid, commonly benzoic acid, which lets it sit at a lower pH. In practice that means the throat hit is smoother at 10mg and 20mg than the same strength of freebase would be, and the nicotine reaches your bloodstream quickly. Because of that smoothness, a 20mg salt can feel gentler than its number suggests, which is worth remembering when you are choosing a strength.

Here is what to expect in use:

• Throat hit: light to moderate at 10mg and firmer at 20mg, in both cases smoother than freebase at equal strength.
• Vapour production: modest. Salts are designed for MTL devices that make small, dense puffs, not large clouds. Do not expect sub-ohm style plumes.
• Flavour delivery: concentrated and fairly direct. Low-power devices heat the liquid gently, which keeps fruit flavours bright instead of cooked.
• Consistency: because the base is balanced, wicking is reliable in the majority of pod and mesh coils, with few dry hits when the coil is primed properly.

On puff count, a bottle of e-liquid is measured in millilitres, not puffs, so any figure is an estimate. Disposables were commonly rated at around 600 puffs for 2ml of liquid. Using that as a rough yardstick, a 10ml bottle holds the equivalent of five 2ml disposables, so roughly 3,000 puffs on paper. Real life will vary a lot. Long, slow draws at higher wattage use more liquid per puff than short, gentle ones, and a realistic range for a pod-kit user is somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 puffs per bottle.

Wattage and airflow have more influence on performance than most people expect. Tightening the airflow concentrates flavour and throat hit, while opening it cools the vapour and weakens the nicotine feel. If your device has adjustable power, start at the low end of the coil's rated range, take a few draws and move up only if the flavour feels thin. Running a salt too hot is the quickest way to get a burnt or harsh taste out of an otherwise smooth liquid.

Finally, nicotine delivery speed matters for how the product behaves over the day. Salts tend to satisfy cravings with fewer puffs than freebase, which is why many people find they take fewer, shorter sessions. That is a practical advantage but also a reason to start at the strength you actually need rather than the highest one available.

Bottle, Packaging and Build Quality

With e-liquid, build quality is mostly about the bottle, the cap and the labelling, because there is no hardware to speak of. IVG supplies its nic salts in a 10ml plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle, which is the standard format for salts in the UK and suits the small fill ports on pod kits. The nozzle should let you fill a pod without a funnel, as long as you squeeze gently and tilt the device so the liquid runs down the side of the reservoir.

These are the points to check when your bottle arrives:

• Tamper-evident seal: the cap should have an intact ring or seal that breaks when you first open it. If it is already broken, do not use the bottle and contact the shop.
• Child-resistant cap: UK rules require nicotine e-liquid to be sold in child-resistant packaging. The cap usually needs a push-and-turn or a squeeze-and-turn action, which can feel stiff at first.
• Label information: the label carries the nicotine strength, ingredients, batch number, the required health warning and the contact details of the producer. Batch numbers are useful if you ever need to report a problem.
• Bottle condition: the plastic should be firm enough to squeeze in a controlled way and should not look cloudy or scratched around the nozzle.

Labelling is simple and legible. Nicotine strength is shown clearly, which matters because it is easy to pick up the wrong strength when you own several bottles. A tip that costs nothing: put a rubber band or a small sticker on bottles of different strengths so you can tell them apart in a dark bag.

The plastic bottle is generally resistant to the liquid, but it is not designed for long-term exposure to heat or direct sun. Store it upright in a cool, dark place, away from children and pets, and replace the cap firmly after each fill. A liquid that has been left on a car dashboard in summer can darken, lose flavour and taste harsher, so avoid that.

Once the bottle is empty, check your local council guidance on whether small rinsed plastic bottles are accepted in household recycling. Some councils take them and others do not. Do not pour leftover liquid down a drain. Wipe up spills with kitchen paper and put that in general waste. Because the liquid contains nicotine, keep unused bottles out of reach until you have disposed of them properly.

Devices, Battery and Charging

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery, so battery and charging questions are really questions about the device you pair it with. This is the part many first-time refillable buyers underestimate, so it is worth going through. Nic salts are designed for low-power hardware, which is good news: the batteries involved are small, charge quickly and last well when the device is run at sensible wattage.

Typical hardware that suits this liquid:

• Refillable pod kits: batteries usually between 400mAh and 1000mAh, with pods that hold around 2ml. These are the most common match and the easiest to live with.
• Pen-style starter devices: batteries of roughly 650mAh to 1500mAh with a fixed or adjustable output. They hold more power and tend to last longer between charges.
• Small mesh-coil tanks on variable-wattage mods: these suit people who like to adjust power, but they need coils rated for salts rather than high-power sub-ohm coils.

Charging is simple, but a few habits keep the battery healthy and safe. Most modern kits charge over USB-C, with a full charge from empty taking somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes depending on battery size. Use the cable supplied or a reputable replacement, plug it into a standard USB port or a normal 5V phone adapter, and do not leave the device charging unattended overnight. Never charge a device that is damaged, wet or swollen, and do not carry a vape loose in a pocket with keys or coins.

As a rule of thumb, a 600mAh pod kit running a 0.8 ohm to 1.0 ohm coil at around 10W gets a light user through a day and a moderate user through half a day. A 1000mAh device at similar power typically gets a heavy user through most of a day. Nic salts at low wattage are efficient on battery, so if yours drains fast, check that the coil is not shorted and that the wattage is not set higher than the coil needs.

When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the household bin or the kerbside recycling bin. Lithium batteries cause fires in waste lorries and recycling plants. Take it to a retailer that offers vape take-back, a household waste recycling centre, or a WEEE drop-off point. Many UK retailers that sell vapes offer free take-back for old devices, so ask where you buy your liquid.

Coils, Mesh Technology and Wattage Settings

The coil is where the liquid becomes vapour, and matching the coil to a nic salt is the single biggest factor in how this flavour turns out. Salts are thin enough to wick quickly and are meant to be vaped at low power, so the coils that suit them are higher in resistance than the ones used for big-cloud vaping.

• Mesh coils (0.6 to 1.0 ohm): a flat sheet of fine mesh gives a large heating surface area, which spreads heat evenly and tends to preserve fruit flavour. They suit pod kits and are a natural match for a tropical blend like this one.
• Ceramic coils (0.8 to 1.2 ohm): a porous ceramic wick holds heat well and gives a clean, consistent taste. They tolerate sweeter liquids reasonably, though they can take a little longer to prime.
• Traditional wire coils (1.0 to 1.8 ohm): a wicked wire coil, common in older pod systems. They give more throat hit and a warmer vapour, and the tighter airflow suits MTL breathing.

Recommended starting wattages, which you should always cross-check against the figure printed on the coil or in the device manual:

• 1.0 to 1.2 ohm coils: about 8W to 12W.
• 0.8 ohm coils: about 10W to 15W.
• 0.6 ohm mesh coils: about 12W to 20W.

Priming is the most skipped step and the most common cause of an early burnt taste. After fitting a new coil or pod, drip a few drops of liquid directly onto the wicking holes, fill the reservoir and let it stand for at least five to ten minutes before the first puff. Take the first few draws gently at low power so the cotton wets completely.

Coil life depends on how sweet the liquid is and how hard you push the device. Fruit liquids with sweeteners tend to leave residue on the coil, so expect somewhere between one and three weeks from a coil with regular use, and sooner at higher wattage. When the flavour starts to taste flat, toasted or slightly bitter even with fresh liquid, replace the coil rather than raising the power. Raising power on a tired coil just makes it burn faster.

Avoid using this liquid in a sub-ohm tank at high wattage. A 0.15 ohm coil at 60W would use up the liquid quickly, deliver far more nicotine than a 20mg salt is meant to, and taste harsh. Salts are not made for that kind of hardware.

Choosing Between 10mg and 20mg Nicotine Strength

Nicotine strength is the most important choice on the page, and the UK has set the ceiling for you: no nicotine e-liquid can be sold stronger than 20mg/ml (2%). Nic salts are typically sold in two options, 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, and the right one depends on your smoking or vaping history and your device's power.

• 20mg/ml: usually chosen by adults moving from regular smoking, often around ten cigarettes a day or more, or from heavy disposable use. It gives a firmer throat hit and satisfies cravings quickly.
• 10mg/ml: suits lighter smokers, people who already vape and want to step down, and anyone using a device at the higher end of the wattage range. It gives a smoother hit and lets more fruit flavour show through.

Disposables in the UK were already limited to 20mg/ml and 2ml, which is why 20mg salts feel familiar to people who used them. Note, though, that a refillable device lets you use more liquid per session than a 2ml disposable, so total nicotine intake can be higher than you expect if you vape continuously. Choose the lowest strength that stops cravings, not the highest strength available.

Signs the strength is too high:

• Dizziness, nausea or a pounding heartbeat shortly after vaping.
• Headaches, hiccups or a harsh sensation in the chest.
• Feeling jittery or restless.

Signs the strength is too low:

• Cravings return within an hour or so.
• You find yourself taking many more puffs than before.
• You are chain vaping to feel satisfied.

Wattage interacts with strength. The more power you use, the more vapour and nicotine you inhale per puff, so higher wattage calls for a lower strength. If you run a 0.6 ohm coil at 18W, 10mg may be plenty. At 8W on a 1.2 ohm coil, 20mg is more likely to feel right.

A word on caution. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is only for adult smokers or existing vapers. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before using nicotine in any form. If you want support to stop nicotine altogether, the NHS stop smoking service offers free help.

Who IVG Kiwi Passion Guava Is For

Every flavour has a natural audience, and being honest about it saves you from buying something you will not finish. This tropical fruit salt suits a particular kind of adult vaper, and it is a poor fit for others.

It is likely to suit you if you:

• Currently smoke and are looking for a fruit-flavoured option that does not taste of tobacco.
• Used disposables and want to move to a refillable pod kit with a wider choice of flavours and lower running cost.
• Prefer fruit flavours that are tangy and a bit sweet instead of heavy desserts or sweets.
• Already own a low-power pod kit, mesh pen or small MTL tank.
• Like variety and want a tropical option to rotate with berry, citrus or menthol flavours.

You may want to look elsewhere if you:

• Have never smoked or used nicotine. Nicotine products are not for non-smokers.
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vape products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and age checks apply at the point of sale and on delivery.
• Want large clouds. Salts in a sub-ohm tank are the wrong combination.
• Need a cooling or menthol finish. This flavour has none built in.
• Dislike tangy fruit. Kiwi and passion fruit have a sharp edge that some people find too sour.
• Are sensitive to propylene glycol and notice a sore throat or dry mouth from PG-heavy liquids.

Existing vapers sometimes ask whether a tropical fruit blend works as an all-day flavour. Because it is not overly sweet, many people find it workable for most of the day, though some prefer to keep something simpler for the morning. If you are trying fruit salts for the first time, a single 10ml bottle is a low-risk way to find out, since the cost is modest and you will not be left with litres of something you dislike.

If you are switching from smoking, give yourself a few days to settle on strength and settings before deciding whether the liquid works for you. First impressions are often distorted by the wrong wattage or a coil that has not been primed, and the flavour you remember from the first afternoon is rarely the flavour you will settle into.

How to Fill and Use Your Device

Filling a pod takes a minute once you have done it a couple of times. Follow the same routine each time and you will avoid most leaks and spills.

• Step 1: switch the device off and, if you can, remove the pod so you are not working over the battery contacts.
• Step 2: wash and dry your hands, and wipe the nozzle of the bottle so no dust gets into the pod.
• Step 3: open the fill port. Most pods have a silicone plug on the side or underneath the mouthpiece.
• Step 4: hold the pod at a slight angle and squeeze the bottle slowly, letting the liquid run down the inner wall. Stop at the max line and never fill the central air tube.
• Step 5: close the port firmly, wipe off any spills and refit the pod.
• Step 6: let a new coil or fresh fill rest for five to ten minutes before the first puff.

Technique matters a lot with salts. Take slow, gentle draws of two to four seconds, with a short pause between puffs so the coil can rewet. Very long drags at high power dry out the cotton and cause burnt tastes. For MTL devices, draw into your mouth first, hold briefly and then inhale, which is the way low-power salt devices are designed to be used.

Keep these points in mind:

• Do not mix this liquid with other brands in the same pod, as the flavours and bases can clash.
• Do not add it to a sealed disposable. They are not designed to be refilled and doing so is a fire and leak risk.
• Refill when the pod is about a quarter full, not when it is empty. Running a pod dry burns the coil.
• Store the bottle upright with the cap on, somewhere cool, dark and out of reach of children and pets.
• Shake the bottle gently before the first use, as settled flavouring can make the first fill taste uneven.

If liquid gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it is swallowed or splashes into your eyes, seek medical advice straight away, and call 999 in an emergency. Keep the bottle or the label to hand so you can tell staff the strength.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most issues with salts and pod kits come down to a handful of causes. Work through these before you assume the liquid or the device is faulty.

• Burnt taste: usually an unprimed or worn coil, or wattage set too high. Replace the coil if the taste persists after a fresh fill, and drop the power by a watt or two.
• Gurgling or spit-back: too much condensation or an overfilled pod. Blow gently back through the mouthpiece to clear it, wipe the tip, and fill only to the max line next time.
• Leaking from the pod or device: check that the fill plug is pressed in fully, the pod is seated correctly and the pod is not overfilled. Warm pockets and pressure changes on flights can also push liquid out, so carry the device upright and keep it cool.
• Weak or fading flavour: an ageing coil, vaper's tongue, or running the pod low on liquid. Change the coil, rinse your palate with water, and try a flavour from another family for a day.
• Harsh throat hit: the strength is too high for your wattage. Step down to 10mg, lower the wattage, or open the airflow slightly.
• Dry hits: the pod is running low, the coil is unprimed, or you are taking draws that are too long and too frequent. Refill early, prime properly and pause between puffs.
• No vapour or the device does not fire: check the battery charge, pod seating, coil contacts and the activation method, whether button or draw. Clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud.
• Sticky mouthpiece or residue: normal with sweet fruit liquids. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking the device.
• Liquid looks darker than before: gradual darkening with age or warmth is common and not harmful in itself, but if the liquid smells off, looks cloudy or has separated, do not use it.

Some problems are not the user's fault. Contact the shop if you receive the wrong strength, a bottle with a broken tamper-evident seal, a leaking bottle or a liquid with an unusual smell. Keep the bottle, take a photo of the label and note the batch number, as that information makes it much quicker to resolve.

When none of these fixes helps, try the same liquid in a fresh pod or coil before blaming the e-liquid. A fresh coil resolves most complaints. If the same issue appears with a new coil and a correctly filled pod, then it is worth contacting the device maker or the shop with the details.

Value for Money and How Long a Bottle Lasts

Value is more than the price on the bottle. A refillable setup has three costs to think about: the liquid, the coils or pods, and the device. A 10ml nic salt bottle usually costs a few pounds, and because the bottle holds the equivalent of about five 2ml disposable fills, the cost per millilitre is typically much lower than a disposable ever offered. Check the current price on the product page, as prices and multi-buy offers change.

To estimate how long a bottle will last and what it costs you, use these rough figures:

• Lighter use: about 1ml to 2ml a day, so a 10ml bottle lasts around five to ten days.
• Moderate use: about 2ml to 3ml a day, so a bottle lasts around three to five days.
• Heavy use: 3ml to 4ml a day or more, so a bottle lasts two to three days.
• Coils or pods: each typically lasts one to three weeks, so one coil roughly covers two to six bottles for a light user.

A simple way to work out your weekly spend is to divide the bottle price by ten, multiply by the millilitres you use per day and then by seven, then add the weekly share of a coil. That figure is easy to compare against what you currently spend, whether on tobacco, legacy disposables or another refillable setup.

Ways to get more from every bottle:

• Buy several bottles in one order if the shop has a multi-buy offer, but only in strengths and flavours you already know you like.
• Replace coils on time. A worn coil wastes liquid and tastes worse.
• Keep the wattage in the coil's recommended range. Running hot burns through the liquid and shortens coil life.
• Fill to the max line only, and avoid dropping a pod out of your pocket with liquid still loose in it.
• Store bottles upright and cool so they stay fresh to the last drop.

The 10ml bottle size is fixed by UK rules for nicotine e-liquid, so you cannot buy a larger bottle of a nicotine salt to bring the unit price down. Large shortfill bottles you may see in shops are nicotine-free liquids designed for sub-ohm tanks, and they are not comparable with a ready-to-use salt for a pod kit. On balance, this is a reasonably priced, mainstream bottle that offers solid value for pod users who vape moderately. Heavy users will still go through bottles quickly, which is true of any 10ml salt.

How It Compares With Other Fruit Nic Salts

Fruit nic salts are a crowded category in the UK, so honest comparisons help. The brands below are mentioned for comparison only. Recipes, ranges and prices change, so always check the label and the current listing, and remember that taste is personal.

• Against other IVG flavours: compared with simpler single-fruit flavours such as strawberry or blue raspberry, this tropical blend is more layered and less sugary. If you like straightforward sweet fruit, a simpler flavour from the same range may suit you better.
• Against Nasty Salts: that range tends to lean toward bolder, sweeter and more dramatic recipes. IVG's tropical profile is more restrained, which some vapers find easier to live with across a whole day.
• Against Pod Salt: a well-known UK salt range with a wide flavour list and clean, consistent recipes. Both are mainstream choices at broadly similar pricing, and the difference comes down to which specific fruit profile you prefer.
• Against Elfliq and similar ranges inspired by popular disposables: if you want to recreate the exact taste of a favourite disposable, those ranges may get you closer. IVG's recipes have their own character rather than copying a particular device.
• Against Hangsen and Dinner Lady salts: Hangsen is known for tobacco and cooling styles, and Dinner Lady for layered dessert and candy flavours, often at a higher price. If you want something complex and sweet, those are worth a look. If you want a tangy fruit that stays light, this bottle holds up well.
• Against freebase or high-VG liquids: these are made for sub-ohm tanks and large clouds. They are a different product for a different style of vaping, not a like-for-like alternative.

Where this liquid does well: it is a familiar, widely stocked brand with a consistent bottle format, a flavour that does not become cloying, and compatibility with almost every pod kit. Where it is less strong: it has no cooling note, it is not a dessert flavour, and the tang of kiwi and passion fruit will not appeal to anyone who dislikes sharp fruit.

The fairest way to decide is to buy a single 10ml bottle and use it for a few days at the right settings. A salt bottle is an inexpensive experiment, and if the flavour is not for you, you will know within a few pods, with little money lost.
