IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Strawberry Raspberry Cherry: overview

IVG Nic Salt E-Liquid Strawberry Raspberry Cherry is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid from IVG, sold here at £2.99 in a single 20mg/ml strength and included in the BUY 5 FOR £10 multibuy. It is one of the mixed-fruit flavours in a long IVG nic salt range, and it sits in the sweet red-berry corner of that range, alongside the simpler Strawberry Ice and Strawberry Kiwi bottles and the cherry-led Frozen Cherries and Fizzy Cherry.

Before anything else it helps to be precise about what this product is. A lot of people searching for a flavour name like this are really looking for a sealed device, so it is worth saying plainly: this is loose liquid. There is no battery in the box, no coil, no mouthpiece and no puff counter. You pour the contents into a refillable pod or a small mouth-to-lung tank that you already own, and the hardware turns it into vapour. Single-use vapes were banned from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025, which is a large part of the reason bottled salts and refillable pod kits have become the everyday route for adults who vape.

The flavour is a three-fruit blend: strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Mixed-fruit e-liquids tend to divide opinion more than single-fruit ones, because a blend can taste either rounded and layered or muddy, depending on how well the components are balanced and on what device you use. The sections below walk through the taste, the practical numbers, the hardware you need, the 20mg strength and the cost, so you can decide without guessing.

The essentials at a glance:

• Brand: IVG
• Flavour: Strawberry Raspberry Cherry, a sweet mixed red-fruit blend with no cooling agent
• Type: nicotine salt e-liquid, 10ml bottle (the largest size permitted for nicotine e-liquid in the UK)
• Strength: 20mg/ml, which is the legal maximum
• Price: £2.99 per bottle, or BUY 5 FOR £10
• Needs: a refillable pod kit or mouth-to-lung tank, which is not included
• Age: strictly 18+, with age-checked sales

Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, and orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. Everything sold on the site is genuine stock, which matters for e-liquid in particular because counterfeit and unregulated bottles are a known problem in the UK market.

The flavour profile: three red fruits in one bottle

The listing gives a name rather than a tasting card, so what follows is a reasoned description of how these three fruits usually behave together in a salt base, not a manufacturer's claim. Flavour is personal, and your device, coil age and palate will shift the balance, but this is the intended shape of a strawberry, raspberry and cherry blend.

• Strawberry is normally the lead. In vaping it reads as a sweet, slightly jammy strawberry rather than the sharp, watery taste of a supermarket punnet. It supplies most of the sweetness and the rounded, soft body of the mix.
• Raspberry adds the tart edge. It brings a faint seedy sharpness and a little acidity that stops the blend tasting like a plain strawberry sweet. In many mixed-berry liquids this is the note that makes the flavour feel layered.
• Cherry sits underneath and finishes the draw. Vape cherry leans towards the candy end of the spectrum, with a slightly warm, almond-like depth you will recognise from cherry sweets and cherry cola. It tends to linger the longest on the exhale.

Put together, the draw typically goes like this. The inhale opens with sweet strawberry and a quick flash of raspberry tartness. Mid-draw the three fruits overlap into a general red-berry sweetness. On the exhale the cherry takes over, leaving a candied aftertaste that fades fairly quickly, so each new draw tastes close to the first rather than building up into syrup.

There is no menthol, no ice and no cooling agent in this version. That makes it a flavour you can use in a warm room or a cold one without the throat feeling chilled. If you want the same fruit combination with a cold finish, other brands sell iced versions of this exact blend, and the same IVG range includes separate cooling flavours such as Ice Menthol and Strawberry Ice.

Two honest caveats apply. First, mixed-fruit blends can taste different on a mesh coil than on a standard wire coil, because the mesh warms the liquid evenly and lets the raspberry and cherry notes come through more clearly. Second, sweet fruit liquids are prone to palate fatigue. If you vape the same flavour all day for a week you may find the taste seems to fade, and that is usually your palate rather than the liquid. Rotating with a mint or a menthol bottle for a day often resets it.

If you want a real picture of the taste, think of a strawberry and raspberry fruit pastille with a cherry sweet dissolving behind it. It is not trying to taste like a fresh fruit salad, and no bottled berry does.

Performance and vapour delivery from a 10ml bottle

A bottle has no puff count, and any page quoting one for loose e-liquid is guessing. What can be reasoned honestly is volume. UK rules cap refillable pods and tanks at 2ml, so a 10ml bottle holds about five full fills. Allowing for priming, the odd drip and the habit most people have of topping up before a pod is completely dry, four to five fills per bottle is a sensible expectation.

How long a fill lasts depends on you and on the device. A light user who takes a few draws an hour may stretch a 2ml fill across more than a day. Someone who vaped heavily and draws all day may finish a fill in half a day. These are broad ranges, not promises. The simplest way to find your own figure is to count how many fills you use over a normal week and divide the bottle accordingly.

Nicotine salts also behave differently from traditional freebase liquid. The nicotine is bound with an acid, which lowers the harshness of the throat hit at high strengths. That is why salts are the standard choice for small, low-power hardware, and why they pair with tight mouth-to-lung draws rather than the big airy inhales used with larger tanks.

What to expect in use:

• Vapour: modest and quiet. A thin, soft cloud is normal, and the design goal of a salt is flavour and nicotine delivery, not volume.
• Flavour intensity: good at the power levels typical for pod kits, roughly 8 to 20 watts on most systems, where the liquid is vaporised cleanly and the three fruit notes stay distinct.
• Throat hit: smooth for a 20mg product, with a gentle tickle at the back of the throat rather than a sharp scratch.
• Consistency: a well-primed coil should taste the same from the first draw of a fill to the last, with the only change coming gradually as the coil ages over several days.

The liquid's thickness matters to the way it performs. Salts of this type are usually mixed with a generous share of propylene glycol, which is thinner and carries flavour well, and which suits the small wicking channels in pod coils. Check the bottle label for the exact VG/PG ratio rather than relying on a general assumption, and if you ever swap to a much thicker liquid you may need to give the wick longer to soak.

One more practical point on performance: sweet fruit liquids leave more residue on the coil than clear or mint flavours do. That is a property of the sugars and sweeteners in the flavouring, not a defect, and it simply means the coil will need changing a little more often than it would with a tobacco or menthol liquid.

The bottle, the label and the packaging

There is little to say about design when the product is a liquid, but nicotine e-liquid is more tightly regulated than most people realise, and it is useful to know what you should see when the parcel arrives.

Under UK rules, nicotine-containing e-liquid must be sold in a bottle no larger than 10ml, fitted with a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal. Products also have to be notified to the regulator before they can be sold. The label carries the nicotine strength, a list of ingredients, a batch number and the standard warning that the product contains nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance.

Bottles of this type are soft plastic with a narrow nozzle, and that detail matters more than it sounds. Pod fill ports are small, often only a few millimetres across, and a thin nozzle lets you rest the tip against the side wall of the port so the liquid runs down the edge rather than trapping air. A squeezable body gives you control over the flow: press gently and stop as soon as the liquid reaches the fill line.

When the bottle arrives, run through this quick check:

• The tamper-evident ring is intact and the child-resistant cap works as designed. If the ring is already broken, do not use the bottle and contact the shop.
• The label states 20mg/ml and the flavour name Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
• A batch number and a best-before date are printed on the bottle or its box.
• The outside of the bottle is dry, with no residue that would suggest a leak in transit.

Storage is simple. Keep bottles upright in a cool, dark place, away from radiators, windowsills and parked cars, and always out of reach of children and pets. Heat and light degrade flavour and darken the liquid over time. A salt that has turned noticeably darker will often taste a little flatter, although a slight colour change on its own is not unusual with fruit flavours that contain natural-style colourings.

Do not decant the liquid into unmarked containers. Nicotine e-liquid in an unlabelled bottle is a genuine risk in a household, especially with fruit flavours that smell appealing. Fill your pod directly from the original bottle and put the cap back on straight away.

Empty bottles can usually be rinsed and handled according to local council rules for plastic, but guidance varies between areas, so check your own council's website rather than assuming. The same applies to used coils and pods, which are better treated as small electrical or mixed waste than as ordinary plastic.

Coils, mesh and the devices that suit this liquid

This liquid is made for devices that run at low power with a tight, mouth-to-lung draw. That covers most refillable pod kits and a good number of small tanks, and it is the reason nicotine salts became the standard pairing for compact vaping hardware.

The coil inside the device is the part that matters most, and it is worth understanding both main families before you buy replacements:

• Standard wire coils usually sit at a higher resistance, commonly around 0.8 to 1.2 ohms in pod systems. They heat gradually, give a firmer draw and use liquid sparingly. They suit people who want a restrained, cigarette-like inhale and a longer-lasting fill.
• Mesh coils use a flat screen of fine metal rather than a wound wire, and in pod systems they commonly sit around 0.6 to 0.8 ohms. The larger heating surface warms the liquid more evenly, so flavour arrives quickly and vapour is a little denser. They also use somewhat more liquid per draw, so you will refill more often.

A blend with three fruits in it shows the difference between the two clearly. On a mesh coil the raspberry tartness and the cherry finish come through as separate notes. On a standard wire coil the same liquid tastes softer and rounder, with the strawberry leading and the other two blending into the background. Neither is wrong, and the right choice depends on whether you prefer a crisp or a mellow fruit profile. Always use the coil type your device maker specifies, because power settings and safety cut-offs are tuned to a particular resistance.

Some well-known refillable pod families that are designed around salts include the Uwell Caliburn range, the Vaporesso XROS range, the OXVA Xlim range and the Smok Novo range. This is a list of device types for orientation, not a compatibility guarantee, so check your own model's manual to confirm that it accepts bottled liquid and which strength it is intended for.

A few rules of thumb for matching liquid to hardware:

• Choose a refillable pod or mouth-to-lung tank, not a sub-ohm tank. High-wattage devices vaporise far more liquid per draw, and at 20mg they deliver an overwhelming amount of nicotine while draining the bottle quickly.
• Check that the fill port will accept a narrow nozzle. Most do, and a few designs with tiny inlets work better with a nozzle that is slightly shorter.
• Keep a spare coil or pod at home. Sweet fruit liquids age a coil faster, and running out of coils mid-week is the most common reason people end up with a burnt taste.
• Avoid mixing liquids in the same pod. Empty and wipe the pod before changing flavour so the previous taste does not carry over.

If your device is a sealed pre-filled system that does not have a fill port, this bottle will not work with it. Look at the matching sealed pods instead.

Battery, charging and looking after the device

The liquid itself has no battery, so everything in this section is about the device you pour it into. It still deserves space, because the way you charge, carry and clean the hardware affects both safety and how long the kit lasts.

Refillable pod kits typically carry batteries from a few hundred milliamp hours to around 1,000mAh, and most charge over USB-C. Because nicotine salts run at low wattage, they ask less of the battery per draw than a high-power setup, which is one reason a pod kit can last through a normal day on a single charge for a moderate user. The exact figure depends on the model and on your habits, so check your own device's specification rather than relying on a general number.

Sensible charging habits:

• Use the cable that came with the device, or a reputable replacement, and a standard 5V USB adapter or computer port.
• Charge on a hard, clear surface, never on a bed, sofa or under a pillow.
• Avoid leaving a charging device unattended overnight, and unplug it once it is full.
• Stop using any device with a swollen, hot or damaged battery, or with a cracked case or exposed wiring.
• Never carry a device loose in a pocket with keys, coins or a lighter, which can short the contacts.
• Wipe the charging port and the pod contacts from time to time with a dry cotton bud, because sticky residue from sweet liquids can interrupt the connection.

A frequent cause of a device that seems to have a failing battery is actually a flooded or gunked coil. If the device fires weakly or intermittently, check the coil and the pod before assuming the battery is at fault.

When a device reaches the end of its life, treat it as electrical waste. Vapes and their lithium batteries must never go into household bins or kerbside recycling, because crushed batteries have started fires in waste vehicles and recycling plants. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or to a shop that offers electrical take-back, and use the drop-off point finder on the national electricals recycling websites if you are not sure where your nearest one is. Remove any liquid first if the device allows it, and tape over exposed contacts if the battery is removable.

This is also where the disposable ban matters in practice. Rechargeable, refillable kits last for months or years rather than days, and every one that replaces a throwaway bar keeps a lithium battery out of the waste stream. That is a genuine advantage of buying liquid and refilling.

Nicotine strength: understanding 20mg

This listing is 20mg/ml, which is 2% nicotine by volume and the highest strength UK law permits. The same cap applies to every nicotine e-liquid, every refillable pod and every sealed disposable-style product sold legally in the UK. Nothing stronger exists at a legitimate UK retailer, and a seller claiming otherwise is operating outside the rules.

The important detail is that 20mg in a nicotine salt does not feel the same as 20mg in a traditional freebase liquid. Salt formulations lower the pH of the vapour, which makes the throat hit noticeably smoother. In practice that means a salt at 20mg is usable at low power for many people, where a freebase at the same strength would feel harsh. It also means the nicotine is delivered efficiently, so a few draws go a long way.

How to think about whether 20mg suits you:

• It is a common starting point for adults who smoked heavily and want something that satisfies in a pod device without constant topping up.
• It is usually too strong for someone who smoked lightly, who already vapes at a lower strength, or who finds nicotine makes them lightheaded.
• If you find yourself chain-vaping or reaching for the device without thinking, a high strength can make that habit stronger rather than weaker, because you simply take more draws.
• It is not suitable for anyone who does not already use nicotine. Never start nicotine through vaping.

Signs that 20mg is more than you want include dizziness, nausea, a racing heart, a harsh feeling in the throat or an uncomfortable headrush after a few draws. If you notice any of these, put the device down, drink some water and choose a lower strength next time. This listing has only the one strength, so if you need a lower figure, look at other e-liquids in the range rather than trying to dilute this bottle yourself. Home dilution is unreliable, spoils the flavour balance and is easy to get wrong.

A practical way to test your tolerance is to start with a few draws and wait ten minutes before deciding whether you want more. Salts reach the bloodstream quickly, and taking a second round too soon is the usual route to feeling unwell.

Every nicotine product carries the same standard warning for good reason: nicotine is addictive. This product is intended for adults who already smoke or vape and who want a flavoured alternative. It is not a medicine, and nothing in this description is a health claim. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, take regular medication or are unsure whether nicotine is right for you, speak to a pharmacist or your GP before using it.

Who it is for, and who should pass

Strawberry Raspberry Cherry is a specific product, and it is more useful to say plainly who it suits than to pretend it suits everybody.

It is a good fit for:

• Adult smokers who have moved onto a refillable pod kit and want a sweet, fruity flavour that tastes nothing like tobacco.
• Vapers coming off sealed bars after the disposable ban, who now need liquid for a refillable device and want an inexpensive way to try flavours.
• People who like mixed-berry and fruit-sweet profiles, and who find single-fruit liquids a little flat.
• Anyone who likes to keep several bottles in a drawer and rotate them to avoid flavour fatigue.
• Shoppers who value a clear price per bottle and a multibuy that keeps the average cost low.
• Fans of the sealed IVG fruit flavours who want the same style of taste in a bottle.

It is probably not the right choice for:

• Anyone under 18, and anyone who does not already use nicotine. Sales are age-checked and strictly for adults.
• Light users who want a gentle nicotine level, because this listing is 20mg only.
• People with a sub-ohm or high-wattage tank, which is the wrong kind of device for a salt at this strength.
• Vapers who dislike sweetness or who want a cold, minty finish. A menthol or iced flavour will serve them better.
• Anyone expecting a realistic fruit salad. The flavour is candied red fruit in the style of sweets and soft drinks.
• Those who want a no-effort throwaway product. Bottled liquid needs a device, some basic care and a coil change from time to time.

There is a middle group worth naming. If you are switching from cigarettes and are unsure about strength, device type or how to prime a coil, this product is still approachable, but it makes sense to start with a simple pod kit and a single bottle, not to buy five flavours on day one. Use the first bottle to learn how many fills a week you really use, then scale up through the multibuy.

It also helps to be realistic about flavour choice if you share a household. Fruit and berry liquids smell sweet and appealing, which is a reason to store them out of sight and out of reach of children and pets.

How to fill, prime and vape it

Getting the first fill right makes a real difference to flavour and to how long the coil lasts. The process takes a few minutes, and most problems people blame on the liquid come from skipping a step.

• Switch off and remove. Make sure the device is switched off or the pod has been taken out. Wash and dry your hands so dirt does not get into the pod.
• Open the port. Remove the silicone bung or slide the cover aside. Check the coil is seated properly and that the pod is not cracked.
• Aim the nozzle. Open the bottle and rest the nozzle against the side wall of the fill hole, not directly over the centre column or the airflow tube.
• Squeeze gently. Fill to just below the maximum line. Overfilling is the most common cause of flooding and leaks.
• Close and wipe. Shut the port, wipe away spills with a tissue and put the cap back on the bottle straight away.
• Let it soak. Leave the filled pod standing upright for five to ten minutes so the wick saturates. A brand-new coil benefits from the longer wait.
• Take a few gentle draws. Insert the pod and take a handful of slow, light draws without firing at full power before settling into normal use.

Draw technique matters more than it seems. With a salt, a slow, steady mouth-to-lung inhale of two to three seconds gives a good balance of flavour and throat feel. Take the vapour into your mouth first, pause briefly and then inhale. Short, sharp pulls tend to give a thin flavour and can leave the wick starved.

Pacing is the other habit worth building. At 20mg, a small number of draws is often enough to feel satisfied. Chain-vaping heats the coil without giving the wick time to refill, which produces a burnt taste and wastes liquid. Leave a gap of at least ten to fifteen seconds between draws, and longer when the flavour begins to thin out.

If you use an adjustable device, start at the lower end of the recommended wattage range and move up in small steps. Many people find that the sweet middle of the range gives the most pleasant fruit taste, and that going higher only makes the raspberry sharper and the cherry harsher.

Between fills, wipe the mouthpiece and the pod rim, and rinse the pod in warm water only when you change coil or flavour. Let it dry completely before refilling.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with bottled salts come down to a handful of causes, and almost all are quick to fix once you know what to look for.

• Burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry wick. Prime the coil properly after each fill, take slower draws with longer gaps and replace the coil if the taste persists. A burnt coil cannot be rescued.
• Weak or muted flavour: often an ageing coil. Sweet fruit liquids leave residue, so if a coil is more than a week or two old, swap it. Also check that the power matches the coil's recommended range, and bear in mind that palate fatigue can mimic a weak liquid.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid is pooling around the coil. Overfilling, a loose seal or a cold room can all be causes. Let the pod sit, tilt it gently to clear the airway, and fill to a lower line next time.
• Leaking from the pod or the base of the device: check the pod is fully seated, the fill port is closed tightly and there is no hairline crack. Do not carry a full pod in a hot pocket or leave it in a warm car, because heat expands the air in the pod and pushes liquid out.
• Harsh throat hit: the combination of 20mg, a high power setting and a fast draw is the usual culprit. Lower the wattage, slow the draw and close the airflow slightly.
• Device will not fire: check the battery level, the pod contacts and the airflow sensor. Wipe the contacts clean, because sticky residue from sweet liquids can stop the connection.
• Liquid on your fingers or in your bag: store the bottle upright with the cap fully closed, and wipe the nozzle after each use.
• Dark, sticky gunk on the coil: fruit and sweet flavours build up faster than others. This is normal and is a sign to change the coil, not to switch liquid.
• Sour or chemical aftertaste: this can mean the liquid has been stored warm for a long time, or that two flavours have mixed in one pod. Clean the pod, fit a fresh coil and try a new bottle.

If you have changed the coil, cleaned the pod and the liquid still tastes wrong, look at the bottle itself. Check the batch number and the date, and make sure it has not been left in sunlight. A bottle that smells off, has separated into layers or arrived with a broken seal should not be used.

For anything you cannot fix, contact the shop through the contact page with your order number and, where relevant, a clear photo of the bottle, the label and the problem. That gives the team what it needs to help straight away rather than going back and forth.

Value for money: the arithmetic in full

Price is where bottled salts make the most sense, so it is worth doing the sums in full rather than relying on a general impression.

• Single bottle: £2.99 for 10ml, which is 29.9p per millilitre.
• Five-bottle multibuy: £10 for 50ml, which is £2.00 a bottle and 20p per millilitre.
• Saving on the multibuy: five single bottles would cost £14.95, so the deal saves £4.95, which is a little over a third.

Translate that into fills. If a 10ml bottle gives four to five fills of a 2ml pod, a single bottle costs roughly 60p to 75p per fill, and on the multibuy that falls to about 40p to 50p per fill. Someone who uses one fill a day spends about £12 to £15 a month on liquid at the single-bottle price, or under £10 on the multibuy. Coils are a separate running cost, so include them in any comparison with a sealed product.

Compared with sealed pre-filled products, bottled liquid is usually cheaper over the long run, but not always on the first day. You need a refillable device, which is an upfront purchase, and you need to be willing to handle the refilling. If you vape only occasionally, a sealed pod may be simpler. If you vape daily, the maths favours bottles.

Value is not only about the sticker price. It also depends on whether you finish what you buy. A nicotine salt flavour you dislike is poor value at any price, so for a first purchase it can make sense to buy a single bottle, confirm that you like the taste, and then move to the multibuy. Because the multibuy can mix different flavours from the same range, you do not have to commit to five bottles of this one.

A few practical tips for getting the most from the price:

• Combine the multibuy with other flavours in the IVG salts line so you rotate rather than repeat, which also protects against flavour fatigue.
• Buy coils at the same time as liquid, because a worn coil makes any liquid taste poor and you will end up blaming the bottle.
• Watch the basket total. Orders over £20 qualify for free UK delivery, so adding a second multibuy or a pack of coils can be cheaper than paying for delivery on a small order.
• Use bottles in date order. A bottle stored properly keeps its flavour for many months, but older stock should be used first.

Factor in the environmental side too. One refillable kit and a stack of 10ml bottles generate far less electrical waste than a steady run of throwaway devices, and that saving is real even when it is hard to put a price on it.

How it compares with other options

Fairness matters when choosing between salt lines, so here is an honest look at where this bottle sits, including the places where it does not come out ahead.

Against other IVG flavours. Inside the range, the nearest alternatives are Fizzy Cherry, which is cherry-only with a sparkling edge, and Frozen Cherries, which adds a cold finish. Strawberry Ice and Strawberry Kiwi cover the strawberry-led end of the line. This bottle is the choice if you want a layered, sweet mix of three red fruits with no cooling effect. At the same price and the same 20mg strength, the decision comes down entirely to taste.

Against the same flavour in other forms. IVG also sells this fruit combination in sealed formats, including its Pro 10K refill pods and Nexio prefilled pods. Those are convenient if you do not want to fill anything, but you pay for the device or pod body each time, and you cannot choose your own hardware. The bottle gives you a lower cost per fill and more control, in return for a few minutes of effort.

Against other salt brands on this site. There are rival nic salt lines in the e-liquid range, including Hayati Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts, Elux Legend nic salts, Nasty Liq and Bar Series nic salts, and Elfliq by Elf Bar. Several of them offer their own strawberry and raspberry blends, some with an ice finish. Prices change, and some rival bottles are priced a little below a single IVG bottle, so compare the current multibuy offers on both before deciding. IVG narrows the gap with the five-for-£10 deal, which takes the bottle to £2.00. The flavour you actually enjoy matters more than a small price difference.

Against shortfills and freebase. Shortfills are larger bottles of low-strength or nicotine-free liquid designed for sub-ohm tanks, and freebase nicotine liquids are the traditional type that suits larger, higher-power hardware. Neither is a like-for-like replacement for a 20mg salt in a small pod kit. If you have a sub-ohm tank, a shortfill is the correct pairing. If you have a pod kit, a salt is.

Against cigarettes. Vaping is not risk-free and nicotine is addictive. This product is aimed at adults who already smoke or vape and want a flavoured alternative, and it should not be used by anyone who has never smoked.

In short, this bottle is a sensible, competitively priced mixed-fruit salt for anyone with a compatible pod device and a liking for sweet red fruit. It is not the cheapest nic salt in every comparison, it does not offer a lower strength, and it will not suit someone who wants an iced flavour or a throwaway device. If those points fit you, the multibuy is the logical way to buy it.
