Ice Vape

What sits on this shelf

The boundary is easy to state and slightly awkward in practice: a product belongs here if cooling forms part of the flavour as IVG describes it. That takes in the straight menthol builds, every fruit with Ice appended to its name, the Frost and Frozen variants, and the mixed pod packs that hold at least one iced pod among four. Plain fruit, bakery, custard and flat soda profiles with no cooling element are not here. They sit on other shelves, and the split is worth respecting, because a lot of IVG flavours exist in both an iced and an un-iced version and the two taste meaningfully different.

Four formats are represented, and they are not directly comparable with each other:

• 10ml bottled liquid. Two families. IVG Intense Salts Watermelon Ice at £0.79 is nicotine salt in 10mg or 20mg. The Original 50/50 line at £0.99, including Ice Menthol, is a balanced 50/50 VG/PG freebase liquid in 3mg, 6mg or 12mg. Both need a refillable device of your own.
• Sealed 2ml prefilled pods. Sold in twos at £0.49 and fours at £1.29. Nothing is refilled; the pod is used and replaced.
• Large-capacity auto-fill pods. £7.95 buys a 2ml pod plus a matched 10ml container that fills it, giving 12ml in total across the PRO, SMART MAX and NEXiO ranges.
• Complete kits. From £1.49 to £13.95, each bundling a device with at least one pod so the box works on its own.

Something the flavour names hide: iced does not mean unsweet. Most of this shelf is sweet fruit with cooling layered over the top, and in several cases the cooling is what stops the sweetness becoming heavy rather than a flavour in its own right. Only a small group, headed by Ice Menthol and the Frozen builds, treats cold as the main event. If you came here expecting the whole shelf to taste sharp and dry, most of it will surprise you by being fruit-led.

The other thing worth flagging early is that the same flavour name recurs across ranges that have nothing else in common. Strawberry Raspberry Ice exists as a sealed 2ml pod, as a 12ml auto-fill pod in two separate device families, and as a complete kit at three different prices. The liquid is formulated for the coil it ships with, so these are not identical experiences, but the flavour brief behind them is the same. That repetition is the single biggest reason this shelf looks larger and more confusing than it is. Strip out the duplicated flavour names and you are choosing between roughly two dozen distinct tastes, presented in four formats at nine price points.

Finally, a note on what the count of 89 includes. Kits and their matching refill pods are listed separately, as are the two-pod and four-pod versions of the same 2400 packs. That inflates the apparent choice considerably. Deciding your format first, then your flavour, will get you through this shelf faster than browsing it flavour-first.

Six ways the cooling behaves

Grouping by fruit alone would put Frozen Cherry next to a mild cherry with a whisper of menthol, which helps nobody. These six groups sort by what the cold actually does in the flavour, which is the thing you are really choosing between.

1. Cold as the headline

A small group where the cooling leads and the fruit, if there is any, supports it. Ice Menthol is the purest example: a sharp mint inhale and an intense icy exhale with no fruit at all, in a 10ml bottle at £0.99 and the only strength-flexible option in this group at 3mg, 6mg or 12mg. Everything else here is fruit under heavy cold.

The Frozen Edition four-pack, tabulated further down with the rest of the mixed packs, is the one set on the shelf where all four pods are iced, holding Blue Ice, Green Ice, Strawberry Ice and Cherry Ice. At £1.29 for four 2ml pods it is also the cheapest way to sample four cold profiles at once. In the 12ml auto-fill format, SMART MAX Frozen Watermelon and SMART MAX Frozen Cherry both read colder than their Ice-named equivalents, and Original 50/50 Frozen Cherries does the same job in a bottle, with deep ripe cherry on the inhale and a crisp icy note on the exhale.

Being honest about the limits of this grouping: IVG does not publish a cooling scale, so the observation that Frozen sits colder than Ice is a pattern in the range rather than a specification. It holds across the SMART MAX line reasonably well. It is a weaker guide when you compare across device families, because a 0.8 ohm coil and a 1.0 ohm coil present the same menthol differently.

2. Berry ice, by some distance the largest group

Two flavours dominate the entire shelf, and they are close enough that people regularly buy the wrong one. Blue Raspberry Ice is the sharper of the pair: a tangy, slightly confected blue razz inhale with real acidity, finishing cold and dry. Strawberry Raspberry Ice is rounder and jammier, with the strawberry softening the raspberry's edge, and its cooling arrives later and reads gentler.

Blue Raspberry Ice appears in nearly every format. There is the NEXiO Blue Raspberry Ice kit at £10.95 and its standalone NEXiO Blue Raspberry Ice pod at £7.95, the PRO 2 10K Blue Raspberry Ice kit at £13.95, a 12ml SMART MAX Blue Raspberry Ice pod, and at the other end of the price range a dual pack of IVG Air Blue Raspberry Ice pods for £0.49. The 2400 Blue Raspberry Ice two-pack covers the 2400 and Reload Mini devices at the same 49p.

Strawberry Raspberry Ice is almost as widely spread: the NEXiO Strawberry Raspberry Ice kit, the PRO 10K Strawberry Raspberry Ice pod, the SMART MAX Strawberry Raspberry Ice pod, and the pocket-sized Reload Mini Strawberry Raspberry Ice kit at £1.49. If you want the same flavour on a small device and a large one, this is the flavour with the widest coverage to do it with.

Plain Strawberry Ice is the third berry option and the sweetest of the three, with the menthol sitting well back. It comes as IVG Air Strawberry Ice pods at £0.49 and as the SMART MAX Strawberry Ice kit. For something darker, Original 50/50 Forest Berries Ice works through a mix of ripe dark berries rather than a single fruit, and it is the least sweet berry option on the shelf. Anyone browsing this group in particular should also look at the wider Raspberry Vape shelf, which carries the un-iced raspberry builds alongside these.

3. Orchard and stone fruit

Quieter flavours, generally, and the group where the cooling does the most work because the base fruits are softer. PRO 10K Peach Ice leads on ripe peach sweetness with a crisp cold finish; the matching SMART MAX Peach Ice pod covers the same flavour for a different device. PRO 10K Grape Ice is sweet and slightly sour purple grape with a cooling exhale, and the identical brief runs through the IVG Air Grape Ice pods and the Reload Mini Grape Ice kit. Grape is the most consistent flavour across formats on this shelf; it changes less between devices than the berries do.

PRO 10K Cherry Ice gives red cherry with a sweet cooling lift, sitting noticeably lighter than the Frozen Cherry builds above. Reload Mini Red Apple Ice is the only apple on the shelf, crisp and tart with a cold exhale, and at £1.49 for a complete kit it is the cheapest way onto the apple profile.

Then there is banana, which divides opinion more than anything else here. PRO 10K Banana Ice and the SMART MAX Banana Ice pod pair a soft, creamy banana with menthol, and because banana carries almost no acidity the cold has nothing to cut against. The result is smooth and slightly sweet-heavy. People who like it tend to make it an all-day flavour; people who do not tend to dislike it immediately. It is not a flavour to buy blind in the 12ml format if you have never had a banana liquid before.

4. Tropical and melon

The brightest group, and the one with the most acidity to play against the cold. Pineapple Ice is its anchor and runs across more formats than any other tropical flavour: the PRO 2 10K Pineapple Ice kit at £13.95, the XL35 Pineapple Ice kit at £3.99, a 12ml SMART MAX Pineapple Ice pod, IVG Air Pineapple Ice pods at £0.49, and the 2400 Pineapple Ice two-pack. The flavour is tart rather than syrupy, closer to pineapple juice than to pineapple sweets, and the cooling arrives as a clean snap at the end.

Watermelon sits at the opposite end of the same group, sweet and watery with a mild menthol. Intense Salts Watermelon Ice puts it in a 10ml bottle at £0.79, IVG Air Watermelon Ice pods put it in sealed 2ml pods, and the Reload Mini Watermelon Ice kit puts it in a complete device for £1.49. Compare that against SMART MAX Frozen Watermelon and you have the clearest Ice-versus-Frozen pairing on the shelf: same fruit, markedly different amount of cold.

Two blends round the group out. IVG Air Peach Mango Ice pods layer sweet peach over juicy mango with a light cooling touch, which makes them the softest tropical option. Original 50/50 Tropical Ice takes a mixed exotic fruit approach instead of naming one fruit, and it is the option to reach for when no single tropical fruit appeals. The 2400 Watermelon Edition kit at £2.99 is a slightly different proposition: four watermelon variations in one device, of which only one is iced.

5. Drink-led cooling

Only two flavours and four products, but they behave differently enough from the fruit to deserve separating. Cola Ice runs through the NEXiO Cola Ice kit and the standalone NEXiO Cola Ice pod, giving a deep caramel-sweet cola with a faint fizz character and a crisp icy exhale. Cola Frost covers near enough the same ground on the PRO platform through the PRO 10K Cola Frost kit and the PRO 10K Cola Frost pod.

Worth saying plainly: these two are hard to tell apart. Cola Frost reads a little drier and finishes colder, Cola Ice a little rounder and sweeter, but nobody should choose between them on flavour grounds alone. Pick whichever runs on the device family you want, because that is the real difference between them. Both are also unusual on this shelf in being recognisably a drink rather than a fruit, which makes them a reasonable choice if the fruit profiles have started blurring into one another.

That blurring is a real effect and it shapes how people shop this shelf. Cooling is the element of a flavour that registers least distinctly after a long run on one liquid, so a menthol level that seemed sharp in the first pod often reads as ordinary by the fourth. It is why rotation appeals to so many buyers of iced flavours, and why the four-pod Edition packs and the cheap sealed two-packs sell as briskly as the large-format pods do. Nothing is wrong with the liquid when this happens. Moving between groups, say from a berry ice to a drink-led one, tends to reset the contrast more effectively than moving to a colder version of the flavour you already have.

6. Mixed packs where iced pods are the minority

This group needs the most care, because it is where buyers on an ice shelf most often get something they did not expect. The 4-in-1 Vape format holds four different 2ml pods in one device at once, and you rotate the body to select between them. Each £1.29 Edition pack is a themed set of four flavours. Most of those sets contain only one or two iced pods, and they appear on this shelf because of those one or two, not because the whole pack is cold.

Edition pack (£1.29)	Iced pods, out of four	Which ones
Frozen Edition	4	Blue Ice, Green Ice, Strawberry Ice, Cherry Ice
Lemon Edition	3	Lemon Ice, Lemon Passionfruit Ice, Lemon Tangerine Ice
Blue Edition	3	Blue Raspberry Ice, Ice Blue, Professor
Special Edition	2	Pineapple Ice, Blue Raspberry Ice
Grape Edition	2	Grape Blackcurrant Ice, Grape Kiwi Ice
Strawberry Edition	2	Strawberry Ice, Strawberry Raspberry Ice
Purple Edition	1	Grape Ice
Red Edition	1	Red Apple Ice
Cherry Edition	1	Lemon Cherry Ice
Juicy Edition	1	Strawberry Raspberry Ice

Read that table before buying a four-pack for the ice. If cooling is the point, the Frozen Edition is the only pack that delivers it in all four slots, with Lemon Edition and Blue Edition close behind at three. At the other end, the Juicy Edition gives you one iced pod and three un-iced ones for the same £1.29, which is a poor trade if ice is all you want and a good one if you actually want variety.

The alternative is the X2 two-packs at £0.49, which are single-flavour and entirely iced: Blue Raspberry Ice, Strawberry Ice and Pineapple Ice. Buying two of those gets you four iced pods for 98p, filling the same device with nothing you did not choose. The four-packs are for variety; the two-packs are for certainty.

The decisions this shelf actually forces

How cold, and can you tell in advance

Partly. The naming gives you a rough ordering within a single range, where Frozen tends to sit above Frost and Frost above Ice, but that ordering does not survive a move between device families. Hardware matters at least as much. The NEXiO runs a 1.0 ohm mesh coil and pulls a tighter, more restricted mouth-to-lung draw, which concentrates menthol and makes the same flavour read sharper. The PRO 2 and SMART MAX both use 0.8 ohm mesh, a slightly looser draw with more vapour, which spreads the cooling out and softens its peak. The XL35 uses dual 1.1 ohm coils, tighter again.

The practical upshot is that if you already know a flavour on one device, moving it to another is a real change, not a like-for-like swap. It also means there is no single answer to how cold a flavour is, and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing.

Two adjustable factors sit on top of the fixed ones. The SMART MAX and the XL35 both offer Boost and Eco modes, and switching between them changes the perceived cooling as well as the vapour volume, since Boost drives the coil harder and pushes the menthol forward. Neither the NEXiO nor the 2400 offers that control, being draw-activated with no settings at all. The second factor is the pod itself over its life: a fresh pod at full liquid level presents cooling most strongly, and the last millilitre of any pod tends to read flatter and sweeter as the coil ages. Judge a flavour somewhere in the middle of a pod rather than at either end of it.

Kit or refill on its own

On the PRO, NEXiO and SMART MAX ranges the arithmetic is unusually clean. The pod alone is £7.95 and the kit is £10.95, so the device costs £3.00 when bought as part of a kit. That makes a first kit obviously worth taking over a bare pod, and it makes a second kit worth considering if you want two flavours running without swapping pods. The IVG Prefilled Pods shelf is where you go once the device is in hand and only the liquid needs replacing.

The exception is the PRO 2 10K at £13.95, where the £3.00 extra over a PRO kit buys the touch battery display and the newer chassis rather than any change to the pod. The pods are shared between the two, so the decision is purely about the device.

PRO, NEXiO or SMART MAX

These three sit at the same £10.95 and are genuinely close, which is worth admitting rather than manufacturing differences. All three are rechargeable mouth-to-lung pod devices running 20mg nicotine salt with Type-C charging and a 1000mAh battery.

• NEXiO. A 10ml pod (a 2ml chamber fed from an 8ml reservoir), 1.0 ohm mesh coil, LED battery indicator, draw-activated with no buttons, aluminium body at 28 by 28 by 125mm, charging in roughly 90 minutes. The tightest draw of the three and the simplest to operate. See the NEXiO Cola Ice kit for the format.
• SMART MAX. A 12ml pod (2ml plus a 10ml auto-fill container), 0.8 ohm mesh, and a display showing battery percentage and charging status. It is the only one of the three with selectable Boost and Eco modes, trading vapour volume against battery life. Around 90g.
• PRO 10K. Also 12ml as 2ml plus 10ml, compact and pocketable, and the only one whose pods are shared with a second device. The IVG PRO Range covers both generations.

If none of those distinctions moves you, pick on flavour availability instead, because that varies more than the hardware does. Cola Frost and Banana Ice only exist on PRO. Cola Ice only exists on NEXiO. Frozen Cherry and Frozen Watermelon only exist on SMART MAX.

Nicotine strength

Stated plainly, because it is a specification and not a recommendation. Every prefilled pod and complete kit on this shelf is 20mg nicotine salt; there is no choice to make. Intense Salts bottles come in 10mg or 20mg. The Original 50/50 bottles, including Tropical Ice, come in 3mg, 6mg or 12mg as freebase nicotine rather than salt. Nicotine is addictive. The full 20mg selection across every format is on the 20mg Vape Kits and Refill Pods shelf.

Running more than one flavour

Three routes exist and they cost very different amounts. The 4-in-1 devices hold four pods simultaneously and switch by rotating the body, so nothing is unplugged and nothing is stored loose; that is the cheapest and most convenient rotation on the shelf, and the Edition packs are built around it. The second route is one large-format device and a shelf of spare £7.95 pods, swapping the pod when the mood changes, which works but means a part-used pod sits idle and slowly loses its edge. The third is owning two devices outright, which at £10.95 a kit is less extravagant than it sounds given the device accounts for only £3.00 of that.

Which route suits you depends less on budget than on how sharply your preferences change. Someone who alternates between two flavours within a day is better served by the 4-in-1 format even though its pods are smaller. Someone who runs one flavour for a fortnight and then changes is better served by a single large-format device, because the 12ml pod will be finished before it has a chance to go stale.

Two millilitres or twelve

Sealed 2ml pods are used and replaced, with nothing to fill and nothing to clean. The 12ml auto-fill pods start as a 2ml pod and a separate 10ml container which clicks on to refill the pod when it empties. Both end up as a pod you eventually discard; the difference is how often. Sealed pods suit anyone who wants to rotate flavours frequently, since the whole pod changes with the flavour. The larger format suits anyone who settles on one flavour and wants fewer interruptions.

Formats and what fits what

Cross-compatibility on this shelf is limited and the mistakes are expensive, so it is worth being exact. There are five separate pod families here and only one of them spans more than one device.

• IVG Air pods fit the IVG Air 4-in-1 and the IVG Air 2-in-1, and nothing else. They will not operate in a 2400, a Reload Mini or any other IVG device. This catches people out because IVG Air Grape Ice and the 2400 pods sit at the same £0.49 and look broadly similar in a listing. Check the device name, not the price.
• 2400 Reload pods, both the £1.29 four-packs and the £0.49 X2 two-packs, fit the IVG 2400 4-in-1 and the Reload Mini. This is the one genuinely cross-compatible family on the shelf, and it is why a Reload Mini kit at £1.49 opens up the whole Edition pod catalogue.
• IVG PRO pods fit both the PRO 10K and the PRO 2 10K. A PRO 10K Peach Ice kit owner and a PRO 2 owner buy exactly the same refills.
• NEXiO pods fit the NEXiO only.
• SMART MAX pods fit the SMART MAX only.

The XL35 is its own thing again, with a 22ml pod arrangement of 2ml plus two 10ml containers, dual 1.1 ohm mesh coils, an 1100mAh battery, an aluminium body and a display with Boost and Eco modes. Nothing else on this shelf shares its pods.

Bottled liquid behaves differently from all of the above. The 10ml bottles are for a refillable device you already own, typically a mouth-to-lung kit or a refillable pod. The 50/50 VG/PG ratio in the Original line is built for that kind of hardware, carrying flavour clearly through a higher-resistance coil without demanding much airflow. Nicotine salt in the Intense line suits the same style of device. What you cannot do is put bottled liquid into any of the prefilled pods above. The 10ml container that comes with a PRO, SMART MAX or XL35 pod is a matched auto-fill unit, not an open tank, and the sealed 2ml pods have no fill port at all.

On charging and day-to-day handling: the rechargeable kits use Type-C, the NEXiO taking roughly 90 minutes from empty. The 2400 and Reload Mini are draw-activated with no buttons or settings. The SMART MAX and XL35 add a display and mode switching, which is the main ergonomic difference between the cheaper and dearer kits. If you want the whole rechargeable side of the catalogue in one place rather than sorted by flavour, the Disposable Vape Alternatives shelf and the Big Puff Vapes shelf both cover it from different angles.

What the price spread reflects

From £0.49 to £13.95 is a wide range for one flavour family, and almost all of it is explained by what is in the box rather than by flavour quality. The ladder runs: £0.49 for two sealed 2ml pods, £0.79 for a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt, £0.99 for a 10ml bottle of 50/50, £1.29 for four sealed 2ml pods, £1.49 for a Reload Mini kit with device and pod, £2.99 for a 2400 kit with device and four pods, £3.99 for the XL35 kit, £6.99 for the larger 2400 Edition kits, £7.95 for a 12ml auto-fill pod, £10.95 for a PRO, NEXiO or SMART MAX kit, and £13.95 for the PRO 2.

Run the arithmetic on liquid volume and the ordering inverts in a way worth knowing. A £0.99 bottle of Forest Berries Ice works out near 10p per millilitre. The £0.49 two-packs come to about 12p per millilitre across their 4ml. The £1.29 four-packs sit near 16p per millilitre across 8ml. A £7.95 auto-fill pod holding 12ml comes to about 66p per millilitre. The large-format pods are the most expensive liquid on the shelf per millilitre by a wide margin, and what the extra buys is convenience, a mesh coil matched to the liquid and far fewer swaps, not more liquid for the money.

That makes the cheap end genuinely worth a look even if you own a large-format device, provided you also own something the pods fit. The 2400 Watermelon Edition kit at £2.99 and the £6.99 Edition kits both come with pods included, which softens the entry cost further. The IVG 2400 4-in-1 Bundle shelf groups the packaged combinations if that is the route you want.

Where to go from here

If the cooling is the part you are committed to and the fruit is negotiable, stay on this shelf and work down the six groups above. If the reverse is true, several neighbouring shelves carry the same flavours without the ice, or the same devices across every flavour.

For a specific fruit, Raspberry Vape and Cherry Vape both overlap heavily with this shelf and extend past it into un-iced builds. For a specific device family, IVG PRO Range, IVG SMART MAX Range and the IVG 2400 and Reload Mini Range each show one platform in full, which is the faster route once you own a device and only want flavours that fit it.

For format-led browsing, IVG Prefilled Pods covers every pod without the devices, IVG Vapes covers the complete kits, and Vape Pens narrows to the slimmer bodies. 20mg Vape Kits and Refill Pods filters by strength across all of it. The full IVG range runs to 454 lines if none of those cuts match how you want to search.

Before you choose

Three things carry most of the weight on this shelf. Decide the format first, because it dictates price, compatibility and how often you handle the thing. Decide the device family second, because pods rarely cross between families and a flavour you like may only exist on one platform. Leave the exact flavour until last, since within a group such as berry ice or tropical ice the differences are real but modest, and the cheap sealed pods are an inexpensive way to settle the question.

The honest summary of 89 products is that they represent roughly two dozen distinct flavours, presented four ways. The cooling is the thread holding them together, and it varies more with the coil in front of it than with the word on the label. Nothing here is a measured cold rating, and any product description promising one is overstating what the manufacturer publishes.

Strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Nicotine is an addictive substance.

Frequently asked questions

What does "Ice" actually mean on these products?

It is a naming convention IVG applies to any flavour with a cooling element, not a measured level. In practice Ice usually indicates menthol layered over a fruit base, where the fruit still leads and the cold arrives on the exhale. Across the 89 products here the amount of cooling behind the word varies considerably, and IVG does not publish a scale for it. The most reliable guide within a single range is the naming pattern, where Frozen sits above Frost and Frost above Ice. That pattern does not hold when comparing across different device ranges.

Is a Frozen flavour colder than the Ice version of the same fruit?

Within the SMART MAX range the pattern holds fairly consistently. The clearest pairing on this shelf is watermelon: the Ice builds, such as the Intense Salts bottle and the Air pods, sit noticeably gentler than the SMART MAX Frozen Watermelon pod. The same comparison works for cherry, where Frozen Cherry runs colder than PRO 10K Cherry Ice. Treat this as a pattern in how IVG names things rather than a specification, because the coil resistance of the device you use will shift the result either way.

Which iced pods fit the IVG 2400 4-in-1?

The 2400 Reload pods, in both formats. That means the £1.29 four-pack Editions and the £0.49 X2 two-packs, all of which are 2ml prefilled pods at 20mg nicotine salt. The same pods also fit the Reload Mini, which is the only genuine cross-compatibility on this shelf. IVG Air pods do not fit the 2400 despite a similar appearance and an identical price, and PRO, NEXiO and SMART MAX pods are all physically different systems. Check the range name on the pod packaging before ordering.

Will IVG Air pods work in a 2400 or a Reload Mini?

No. IVG Air pods operate only in the IVG Air 4-in-1 and the IVG Air 2-in-1 devices. They will not function in the 2400, the Reload Mini or any other IVG device, and this is stated by the manufacturer rather than being a compatibility grey area. The confusion is understandable, since both the Air pods and the 2400 X2 two-packs are 2ml, 20mg and priced at £0.49. If you own a 2400 or a Reload Mini, the pods you want are the ones labelled 2400 Reload.

Do the IVG PRO pods fit the PRO 2?

Yes. The PRO 10K and the PRO 2 10K share the same prefilled pod range, so every PRO pod on this shelf works in either device. That includes Cola Frost, Peach Ice, Grape Ice, Cherry Ice, Banana Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Ice. It means the choice between a PRO kit at £10.95 and a PRO 2 kit at £13.95 is purely a device decision, with the extra covering the touch battery display and revised chassis. Your refill costs afterwards are identical at £7.95 either way.

What nicotine strengths are available on this shelf?

Every prefilled pod and every complete kit here is 20mg nicotine salt, with no strength option to select. The bottled liquids differ. IVG Intense Salts come in 10mg or 20mg as nicotine salt. IVG Original 50/50 comes in 3mg, 6mg or 12mg as freebase nicotine in a balanced 50/50 VG/PG base, intended for a refillable mouth-to-lung device rather than any of the pod systems listed here. Nicotine is addictive. If you want the 20mg products across all formats in one listing, use the 20mg shelf.

What is the difference between the £7.95 pods and the £10.95 kits?

The device. On the PRO, NEXiO and SMART MAX ranges, £7.95 buys the pod on its own and £10.95 buys the same pod plus the rechargeable device to run it, so the hardware is effectively £3.00 when bought as a kit. Once you own the device, all subsequent purchases are the £7.95 pods. This is why buying a kit makes sense on a first purchase in a range, and why a second kit is worth considering only if you want two flavours running at once without swapping pods.

Are the 4-in-1 Edition packs entirely iced?

Mostly not, and this is the commonest surprise on this shelf. Each £1.29 Edition pack holds four different 2ml pods, and the pack appears here if at least one of them is iced. Only the Frozen Edition has cooling in all four slots. Lemon Edition and Blue Edition have three. Special, Grape and Strawberry Editions have two. Purple, Red, Cherry, Juicy and Summer Editions have just one iced pod out of four. If you want certainty, the £0.49 X2 two-packs are single-flavour and iced in both pods.

Can I put bottled e-liquid into one of the prefilled pods?

No. The sealed 2ml pods have no fill port, and the 10ml container supplied with a PRO, SMART MAX or XL35 pod is a matched auto-fill unit rather than an open tank, so it is not designed to take liquid from a bottle. The 10ml bottles on this shelf are for a separate refillable device that you fill yourself, typically a mouth-to-lung kit or a refillable pod system. Treat the bottled liquids and the pod systems as two independent routes rather than parts of one setup.

How many puffs do these pods deliver?

Manufacturer figures are laboratory estimates and depend heavily on how you draw, so treat them as rough capacity indicators rather than promises. IVG rates the 2ml Reload and Air pods at up to 600 puffs each, which is where the four-pack figure of 2,400 comes from. The 12ml PRO, NEXiO and SMART MAX pods are rated by the manufacturer at up to 10,000 puffs per pod, and the XL35 pod system at up to 35,000. Longer draws lower these numbers, as IVG itself notes.

Which iced flavours appear across the most device ranges?

Blue Raspberry Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Ice are the two most widely carried, each appearing as sealed 2ml pods, as 12ml auto-fill pods in more than one range, and as complete kits at several prices. Pineapple Ice is close behind, covering the PRO 2, XL35, SMART MAX, Air and 2400 formats. Grape Ice and Strawberry Ice are also well spread. If you want the same flavour on both a pocket device and a large-capacity one, those five give you the most freedom to do it.

What is the difference between Intense Salts and Original 50/50?

Both are 10ml bottles for a refillable device, but they are different liquids. Intense Salts is nicotine salt at £0.79, offered in 10mg or 20mg, with an easy-fill nozzle. Original 50/50 is freebase nicotine at £0.99 in a balanced 50/50 VG/PG ratio, offered in 3mg, 6mg or 12mg. The 50/50 line carries flavour clearly through higher-resistance mouth-to-lung coils and produces moderate vapour. Salt and freebase liquids are formulated differently and are not interchangeable in feel even at the same stated strength.
