IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Strawberry Kiwi: what you are buying

IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Strawberry Kiwi is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid from IVG, listed at £2.99 in the 20mg strength and included in the BUY 5 FOR £10 multibuy. It is a fruit flavour built on two familiar ingredients, ripe strawberry and green kiwi, and it is made for refillable pod kits rather than for tanks that run at high power. Nothing about the bottle is complicated, but a few details decide whether you enjoy it or end up frustrated, so this page walks through them in the order you are most likely to need them.

Start with the format. A nicotine salt is a form of nicotine that is paired with an acid in the liquid, and the practical effect is that a given strength feels smoother in the throat than the same number on a traditional freebase liquid. That is why salts are the normal choice for small, low-power pod devices, where you want a steady, satisfying hit from a modest amount of vapour. If you have been using a sealed bar or a pod system that takes bottled liquid, this is the sort of product the hardware was designed around.

It also helps to know what this bottle is not. It is not a shortfill, so there is no empty space for a nicotine shot. It is not a freebase liquid for a sub-ohm tank. It is not a prefilled pod and it does not contain a battery, a coil or any hardware at all. You need a refillable device, and you fill it yourself from the bottle. Once you are comfortable with that routine it takes less than a minute.

IVG is a large name on this site, with hundreds of products listed, and its nic salts are one of the easier ranges to explore because the pricing is flat and the multibuy applies across the line. Strawberry Kiwi sits in the middle of that range for most buyers: familiar enough to be a safe first bottle, distinct enough to be worth rotating with something else. The rest of this page covers how it tastes, how it performs, how to pick a strength, which devices suit it, and what to do when it does not behave.

The flavour profile, note by note

Strawberry and kiwi is a pairing that works because the two fruits sit on opposite sides of the sweet and tart divide. Strawberry brings rounded, sugary sweetness. Kiwi brings a sharper, greener note with a slightly sour edge. When a flavour house balances them well, neither one drowns the other, and the finish is brighter than a straight strawberry would be.

Here is what to expect when you draw on this bottle, taking the notes in the order they usually arrive.

• On the inhale: a soft, jammy strawberry leads. It reads closer to strawberry sweets or a strawberry yoghurt than to a fresh punnet picked in June, which is typical of nic salt flavourings. The sweetness is front-loaded and easy to recognise.
• Mid-draw: the kiwi starts to come through, usually as a light tartness at the sides of the tongue rather than a heavy, seedy flavour. This is where the profile stops being a plain strawberry vape.
• On the exhale: a cleaner, slightly acidic fruit finish, with a faint green character that cuts through the sugar. It lingers for a moment and then clears, so you are not left with a sticky aftertaste.

There is no menthol and no cooling agent in the name, and none should be expected. If you want a flavour with a frozen edge, the IVG nic salt line includes other strawberry options with an ice finish, and those are a better match for that preference. Strawberry Kiwi is a warm-temperature fruit flavour, so it tastes the same at the start of the day as it does at the end.

A word on sweetness. Fruit nic salts lean sweet, and that is by design. If you are coming from a tobacco or menthol flavour, the first few pod fills can feel almost too sugary. That usually settles within a day or two as your palate adjusts, and the tartness from the kiwi helps keep the sweetness from becoming cloying. If you find any sweet flavour tiring after several hours, mixing your rotation with a mint or a cooler fruit is a sensible fix rather than a sign anything is wrong with the liquid.

Strength also affects how the flavour reads. At 20mg, the nicotine adds a little warmth and bite at the back of the throat, and that slightly masks the finest edges of the kiwi. At lower strengths the fruit notes tend to feel more open. Neither is better or worse, it is simply a trade-off between nicotine and flavour clarity that you should know about before buying.

How it vapes: throat hit, vapour and nicotine delivery

Because this is a nicotine salt at the top of the legal range, the main thing you will notice in use is how quickly it satisfies. Salts deliver nicotine efficiently, so most adults who are used to cigarettes or sealed bars find that a handful of puffs is enough to feel settled. That is a good reason to approach the first session slowly rather than chaining puffs the way you might with a low-strength liquid.

The throat hit at 20mg is noticeable but rounded. It is firmer than a 10mg salt and a lot gentler than a 20mg freebase would be, which is exactly the point of the salt format. If your throat tickles or you cough on the first few puffs, the likely causes are the wattage on your device being too high, the airflow being too open, or the strength simply being more than you need. All three are fixable, and the troubleshooting section below covers them in turn.

Vapour production is modest by design. This liquid is meant for mouth-to-lung inhaling, where you draw the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale it, much like drawing on a cigarette. Clouds are small, and the flavour is concentrated into each puff. If you are used to big, airy sub-ohm clouds, this will feel restrained. That is normal for a salt in a pod device and not a defect.

In everyday terms, here is how a session tends to go:

• The first puff after filling is slightly muted while the coil finishes soaking, so take two or three gentle puffs before judging the flavour.
• From the fourth or fifth puff onwards the strawberry and kiwi settle in and the profile is consistent from there.
• Flavour stays steady through the pod, and drops off sharply only when the liquid level gets very low, at which point a dry or burnt taste is a signal to refill rather than push on.

Many people find that salts shift their pattern of use. Instead of long, frequent draws you take shorter, less frequent ones, because the nicotine arrives sooner. That is worth watching in the first week, particularly if you have switched from a lower-strength liquid. Keep an eye on how you feel and adjust the strength, not your willpower, if the experience is too much.

Finally, be realistic about longevity within a single pod fill. A standard 2ml pod holds enough liquid for a good number of puffs, but the figure varies a lot with wattage, airflow and how hard you draw. The only reliable guide is your own use over a few days, and the value section below turns that into pounds and pence.

Nicotine strength: is 20mg right for you?

This listing is the 20mg strength, which means 20mg of nicotine per millilitre of liquid, or 2 percent. That is the maximum allowed for nicotine e-liquid in the United Kingdom under the TPD rules, so there is no stronger legal product on the shelf. It is worth stating plainly because many first-time buyers assume stronger numbers exist. They do not, and anything claiming otherwise on a UK store should make you cautious.

The arithmetic is simple and useful. One 10ml bottle at 20mg per ml contains 200mg of nicotine in total. A 2ml pod filled with it holds 40mg. That does not tell you how much you absorb, since that depends on how you vape, but it shows why the strength should be chosen with some thought and not at random.

As a rule of thumb, 20mg tends to suit these adults:

• People who smoked around ten cigarettes a day or more and are now switching to vaping.
• People who have been using sealed bars, which are typically sold at the 20mg cap, and want a similar level in a refillable system.
• People in the first weeks of switching who found lower strengths left them reaching for a cigarette.

On the other side, 20mg is more than you need if you smoked lightly, if you have been vaping for a long time and have gradually come down in strength, or if your device produces generous vapour per puff. Signs the strength is too high include a harsh throat hit that does not improve with lower wattage, dizziness, a racing heart, nausea or finding that you only want a puff or two before putting the device down. If you notice any of those, stop and move to a lower strength. A 10mg nic salt is the usual next step down, and you will find those across the e-liquid range on this site.

Do not use nicotine products if you are under 18 or if you have never smoked. Nicotine is addictive, and adults who do not already use it have no reason to start. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or are on medication, speak to a healthcare professional before using any nicotine product. This site is strictly for adults, and an age check applies at payment.

One last practical note: do not try to adjust the strength by diluting a salt with other liquids. Mixing changes the ratios of acid, nicotine and flavour in ways that are hard to predict, and it usually makes the result worse. If you need a different strength, buy the strength you need.

Bottle, cap and packaging

Since there is no device in this box, the design question is really about the bottle. Like every nicotine e-liquid sold legally in Britain, this one comes in a bottle no larger than 10ml, with a child-resistant closure and a tamper-evident seal. Those are legal requirements, not marketing features, but they matter in practice, because a bottle you can fill from cleanly and close firmly is a bottle that does not leak in your bag.

Here is what to look for when it arrives, and what each detail does for you.

• Narrow nozzle: a thin spout lets you place the tip against the fill port of a pod and add liquid in a slow, controlled stream. Squeeze gently rather than hard, and the liquid goes where you want it.
• Child-resistant cap: it takes a firm push-and-turn motion to open. It can feel fiddly at first, but it is there to protect children and pets, and you will get used to it within a few uses.
• Tamper-evident ring: the ring around the cap should be intact when you open the bottle for the first time. If it is not, contact us rather than using the liquid.
• Label information: the strength, the volume, the ingredients and the health warning are printed on the bottle or its carton, as required by UK rules. Check the strength against what you ordered the first time you open it.

The plastic bottle is lightweight and slightly flexible, which is the right choice for a product you will squeeze to dispense. Over time the liquid inside may darken from a pale shade to a deeper amber. That is ordinary oxidation of nicotine on exposure to air and light, not contamination, and the flavour usually stays intact. Keeping the cap on, storing the bottle upright and avoiding sunlight or a hot car will slow the colour change.

Because this is a 10ml bottle, it is compact enough to carry in a coat pocket alongside a pod kit, which suits anyone who wants to refill while out. Keep it in a sealed bag or case so any residue from the nozzle does not mark your clothing, and always keep nicotine out of reach of children and pets.

Finally, remember that the bottle is part of the waste stream. Empty it, let any residue dry, and put it in household plastic recycling if your local council accepts small plastic bottles. Check the local rules, because they differ between areas, and remove any loose caps if your council asks you to.

Coils, resistance and the devices that suit nic salts

The liquid is only half of the experience. The other half is the coil in your pod or tank, which is the small heating element that turns liquid into vapour. Choosing hardware that matches a nicotine salt is the single biggest factor in whether Strawberry Kiwi tastes the way it is supposed to.

Nic salts are designed for low-power, higher-resistance coils. In practice that means a refillable pod kit with a coil in the region of roughly one ohm or above, running at modest wattage, with a tight, cigarette-style draw. Below are the main coil types you will meet, described at a category level so you can match them to your own device.

• Mesh coils: a flat sheet of mesh with a large surface area. They heat evenly and tend to give consistent flavour, which suits a fruit blend like this one because both the strawberry and the kiwi come through clearly. They can be slower to prime, so give them a few minutes after filling.
• Cotton-and-wire coils: the traditional design, with a wire wrapped in organic cotton. They are widely available and work well with salts at low power.
• Ceramic coils: a porous ceramic heater, often marketed for flavour purity and long life. They suit lower wattages and can be sensitive to being dry-fired.

Whichever type you have, the same principles apply. Keep the power within the range the coil is rated for, which is printed on the coil or in the manual. Do not push a salt through a sub-ohm coil at high wattage, because the amount of nicotine delivered per puff rises sharply and the experience becomes harsh and wasteful.

Sweet fruit liquids deposit sugars on the coil faster than tobacco or mint liquids. The sugars caramelise, the wick darkens and the flavour dulls. If you vape fruit flavours all day, expect to replace the coil or the pod more often than a menthol user would. A coil that has done its job will not taste of burnt toast, but it will taste flat, and that flatness is your cue to change it.

As for devices, you have a few sensible routes. A compact refillable pod kit is the most common choice and the simplest to live with. Some people use a slightly larger pen-style kit that offers adjustable airflow. What you should avoid is a high-wattage, sub-ohm tank, where a 20mg salt is not intended to be used. Because the single-use disposable ban came into force in the UK on 1 June 2025, a rechargeable refillable kit is also the logical way to keep vaping a flavour like this one without buying a fresh sealed device every time.

Battery, charging and looking after your device

The e-liquid has no battery, but your device does, and the state of that battery changes how the liquid tastes. A device on a low charge delivers weaker, cooler vapour, and the flavour of a delicate blend like strawberry and kiwi is the first thing to go. Treat the battery as part of the flavour experience, not an afterthought.

Most refillable pod kits charge over USB, usually through a USB-C port. A few older models still use micro-USB. Whichever you have, use the cable that came with it or a reputable replacement, and plug it into a standard wall adapter or a computer. Fast chargers designed for phones are generally fine for small vape batteries, because the device only draws what it needs, but a cheap unbranded adapter is not worth the risk.

Follow these habits and your battery will last longer and behave better.

• Charge before the battery is empty: topping up at around a quarter to a third remaining is easier on the cell than running it flat every time.
• Never leave a device charging unattended on a soft surface: a bed, sofa or pile of clothes traps heat. Charge on a hard, clear surface and unplug once the indicator shows full.
• Do not charge a damaged or swollen device: if the casing is bulging, hot to the touch or smells odd, stop using it and take it to a recycling point.
• Keep pins and contacts clean: a spot of liquid on the connection between pod and battery can interrupt power or cause a mis-fire. Wipe them with a dry cotton bud.
• Do not carry a device loose with coins or keys: metal can bridge the contacts and drain the battery.

Charging time varies by device and battery size, and it is stated in the manual for your particular kit. We do not attach a battery figure to this bottle because the bottle has none. If your device is slow to charge or stops holding a charge, a worn battery is usually the cause, and replacing the device is more sensible than trying to repair it.

When a device reaches the end of its life, recycle it. In the UK, vape devices and batteries are electrical waste and should not go in your household bin or recycling box. Many retailers that sell vaping products must accept old devices for recycling, and local household waste recycling centres also take them. Drop-off points exist in most towns, so look for one before you throw anything away. Leave the liquid out of the device, tape over the contacts if you can, and hand it over as it is.

How to use it: a simple filling routine

If you are new to bottled liquid, the routine takes a couple of tries to learn and then becomes automatic. Here it is step by step for a typical refillable pod kit. Always read the manual for your own device, because the fill port differs between models.

• Prepare. Wash and dry your hands, turn the device off, and lay out a tissue to catch drips.
• Open the pod. Remove the pod from the battery and take off the silicone plug or slide open the fill port, depending on the design.
• Shake the bottle. Give it a quick shake, then open the child-resistant cap by pressing down and turning.
• Fill slowly. Place the nozzle against the side of the fill port and squeeze gently. Stop just below the maximum line, and avoid the central air tube, because liquid there will flood the coil.
• Close and rest. Replace the plug, refit the pod and wait five minutes. This lets the wick absorb liquid before you fire the coil.
• Take the first draws gently. A few short, soft puffs without pressing the button too hard will finish priming the coil.

A 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod five times, so one bottle gives you roughly five full pods. The 2ml limit is part of UK rules, so the pod will not be larger than that, and that is also why bottled nicotine salt is sold in 10ml sizes. A bottle keeps for a good while if you cap it tightly after each use and store it upright, away from heat and sunlight.

Some habits are worth building from day one:

• Wipe the nozzle and the pod rim after filling, so no sticky residue gathers.
• Top up before the pod is completely empty, ideally when you can still see a little liquid, which protects the coil from dry hits.
• If you change flavour, rinse or replace the pod first, since old liquid can colour the new one.
• Keep the bottle capped when not in use, because air accelerates both darkening and flavour loss.

When you vape, draw slowly and evenly for two to three seconds, then pause for half a minute or more between puffs. A slow draw gives the coil time to heat evenly and gives you better flavour than a short, sharp pull. If your device has adjustable airflow, start with it closed to about half, then open it a little if the draw feels too tight.

Troubleshooting: when the liquid or device misbehaves

Most problems that people blame on a liquid are actually problems with the coil, the fill level or the settings. The list below covers the issues we hear about most often with fruit nic salts, along with the simplest fix for each.

• Flavour is flat or muted: check the coil first. If it has been in use for a week or more, it has probably built up sugars and should be replaced. Palate fatigue is the other common cause; try a few hours on water or a different flavour and then come back.
• A burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry coil. Make sure the pod has enough liquid, give new pods five minutes to prime, and avoid chain vaping, which dries the wick faster than it can refill.
• Leaking from the pod or bottom of the device: typically from overfilling, from filling around the central tube or from a pod that is cracked or badly seated. Fill to just under the maximum line, wipe the pod and check the seals. Changes in air pressure on a flight or a long drive can also cause leaks, so keep a pod mostly empty when travelling.
• Gurgling or spitting: condensation or excess liquid in the airway. Tip the device upside down, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear the airway, and wipe away the excess.
• Harsh throat hit: reduce the wattage if your device has an adjustable setting, close the airflow a little and take a slower draw. If it still feels rough, the 20mg strength may be higher than you need.
• Weak vapour: check the battery charge and the coil. A low battery gives weaker output, and so does a worn coil or a blocked airflow slot.
• Liquid has darkened in the bottle: this is ordinary oxidation and does not mean the liquid has gone off. If it smells wrong or has separated into layers, do not use it and contact us.
• Device does not fire: clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud, make sure the pod is seated firmly and check the battery.

If you have worked through the relevant item and the issue persists, the fault is more likely to be the hardware than the liquid. Try the same bottle in a second device, if you have one, or a fresh pod in the existing one. That one test tells you quickly whether the problem is the liquid or the device.

Finally, if a bottle arrives damaged, with a broken seal or with the wrong strength on the label, do not use it. Get in touch with a photo and your order number, and we will sort it out.

Who it suits, and who should pass

Choosing the right product is mostly about being honest about what you want. Here is a plain view of who gets the most from this bottle and who would be better served elsewhere.

It suits you if:

• You are an adult smoker moving to vaping and want a familiar, uncomplicated fruit flavour at a strength comparable to a cigarette.
• You have been using sealed bars, which have now been replaced in the UK by rechargeable and refillable devices, and you want to keep a similar kind of flavour without the sealed format.
• You like strawberry or kiwi on their own and want a blend that has a bit more going on than a single fruit.
• You already own a refillable pod kit and want a straightforward, low-priced bottle to try or to add to a rotation.
• You like to buy in multiples and mix flavours, since the multibuy lets you do that at a lower per-bottle price.

You should pass if:

• You are under 18, or you have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive and this product is for adults who already use it.
• You want a cooling, menthol or ice finish. This blend does not have one. Look at an iced strawberry flavour instead.
• You vape on a sub-ohm tank at high power. A 20mg salt is not built for that use.
• You are sensitive to nicotine or prefer very low strengths. Choose a lower-strength liquid and read the labelling carefully.
• You only use sealed devices. Bottled liquid needs a refillable device.

There is also a middle group: people who like the idea but are unsure about strength. For them, the sensible move is to try a single bottle first, in a device they trust, and to treat the first day as a trial. Notice how the throat hit feels, how long a pod fill lasts and whether you are happy with the sweetness, then decide whether to buy more.

If you are still deciding between this flavour and another in the IVG line, the key question is whether you want ice. If you do, look at Strawberry Ice. If you like kiwi but want a more tropical angle, Kiwi Passion Guava is a likely candidate. If you want an extra layer of berry, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry gives you that. If you simply want fruit without a twist, this one fits.

Value for money, delivery and buying in the UK

At £2.99 a bottle, IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Strawberry Kiwi is priced at the lower end for branded nic salts. Per millilitre that works out at just under 30p. On its own, that is already a reasonable price. The BUY 5 FOR £10 multibuy improves it considerably, and it is worth doing the maths properly.

• Five bottles at the single price would cost £14.95.
• On the multibuy they cost £10, which is £2 per bottle, or 20p per ml.
• That saves you £4.95, about a third off the shelf price.
• Five bottles is 50ml of liquid, which fills a 2ml pod 25 times.

The five bottles do not need to be the same flavour. You can mix IVG flavours, or mix IVG with other products on the same promotion, which makes the offer a cheap way to try several flavours without committing to a single one. If you are buying your first set, one Strawberry Kiwi, one ice flavour, one mint and two others of your choice is a sensible spread.

It is also worth being clear about cost per puff. Nic salts in 10ml bottles look more expensive per ml than 100ml shortfills, but they are a different product with a different use. A salt is strong, so you use less liquid per day. A moderate user may take several days to finish a bottle, and five bottles can last around a month. The true cost is the liquid plus a replacement coil or pod every week or two, and you should budget for both.

On buying and delivery, here is what to expect:

• Free UK delivery once your basket reaches £20.00, and tracked options are shown at checkout.
• Same-day dispatch on weekday orders placed before 4pm, with later orders going out on the next working day.
• Age verification at payment, because nicotine can only be sold to adults aged 18+.
• 100 percent genuine stock on every order.

Since opened consumables cannot be resold, opened bottles fall outside the returns policy. If something arrives faulty or incorrect, contact us and we will put it right. That is standard for nicotine products across the UK market, and it is why we suggest buying one bottle first if you are unsure about a flavour.

How it compares with other strawberry and kiwi options

Strawberry and kiwi is a common pairing, so you have plenty of alternatives. A fair comparison looks at the format, the strength and the price, not just the name on the label.

Within the IVG nic salt line. The range includes several other strawberry blends: Strawberry Ice, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry and Strawberry Sensation. Strawberry Ice is the one to choose if you want cooling. Strawberry Watermelon adds a melon note to the strawberry, which should read as juicier and softer. Strawberry Raspberry Cherry layers in more berry and stone fruit. Strawberry Sensation is a plainer strawberry blend with no second fruit named. Strawberry Kiwi is the only one in the group whose point of difference is acidity, so if you like a little tang, it is the closest match to that taste.

Against other nic salt brands. Several other brands list a strawberry and kiwi nic salt, including some bar-style ranges and some pod-style ranges, and a number of them are iced. Do not assume they taste the same. Differences in flavouring, sweeteners and the balance of acid mean two liquids with the same name can taste quite different. The honest approach is to compare strength, bottle size and price, then treat the flavour as something to test rather than to assume. At £2.99 a bottle, or £2 on the multibuy, the cost of testing this one is low.

Against shortfills. A 100ml or 200ml shortfill strawberry kiwi costs more per bottle but less per millilitre, and it is meant for larger tanks that run at higher wattage. It is also a lower-strength product, since the nicotine is added separately. If you vape heavily on a sub-ohm kit, a shortfill is the better fit. If you use a small pod device and want a nicotine salt, this bottle is the one that matches the hardware.

Against prefilled or sealed devices. A sealed bar costs more up front and cannot be refilled, and the single-use disposable format is no longer legal to sell in the UK. A refillable kit plus a bottle of salt like this one is cheaper over time and lets you choose your own flavours. The trade-off is that you must fill and maintain it yourself.

Where does that leave this product? It is a straightforward, affordable fruit salt. It does not claim to be anything more. If you want a lighter, cooler or more complex profile, there are other flavours for that, and it is easy to rotate between them. If you want a familiar fruit blend at a fair price, this is a sound choice.
