IVG 2400 Reload 4-in-1 Pods – Guava Edition

Guava isn't a flavour most people grew up with, so what does it actually taste like here?

Guava trips people up because it's not a fruit most of us in the UK eat fresh very often, so there's no obvious reference point the way there is with strawberry or apple. On the IVG 2400 Reload, the Guava Edition leans into that unfamiliarity rather than dumbing it down into something safer like a generic tropical mix. What you get is genuinely closer to real guava, sweet, slightly musky, with a pink-fleshed juiciness and a faint background note that sits somewhere between pear and strawberry seed.

How it opens

The first pull is soft rather than sharp. There's no big citrus punch or ice slap here, guava just arrives gently sweet with that slightly floral, almost perfumed quality real guava has when it's properly ripe. If you're used to loud, in-your-face fruit flavours, this can feel understated at first, but give it a couple more puffs and the character comes through more clearly.

Where it goes mid-vape

This is where the flavour earns its keep. The initial soft sweetness gives way to something a bit more textured, a faint tang that mimics the small edible seeds inside real guava flesh, without ever tasting artificial or gritty. It's a clever bit of flavour work, giving the impression of texture through taste alone. Underneath that sits a light strawberry-adjacent note that a lot of guava flavourings lean on, since pure guava can taste a little flat without support from a second fruit.

The finish

On the exhale, guava mellows into something almost creamy at the very back, not dessert-creamy, more like the way a ripe piece of fruit coats your mouth slightly after eating it. There's no cooling or ice in this profile, so the whole experience stays warm and rounded from first pull to last, with the sweetness fading gradually rather than being cut off sharply.

Who's going to like this

Guava Edition is aimed at vapers who've worked their way through the obvious fruit flavours, strawberry, watermelon, mixed berry, and want something that still reads as fruity but doesn't taste like everything else on the shelf. It's also a solid option if you like tropical flavours generally but find mango and pineapple a bit heavy or one-note after a while. If you need ice or menthol to enjoy a vape, though, this one will probably feel a bit flat, since it's built entirely around the fruit itself.

When to vape it

Because the Reload's puff count sits lower than the bigger all-day devices, this flavour naturally suits shorter, standalone sessions rather than being your one pod for an entire week. It works well as an afternoon or early evening flavour, when you want something fruity and a bit different without the jolt of an ice-heavy vape. It's gentle enough that it doesn't feel wrong first thing in the morning either, unlike sharper citrus or menthol options that can feel a lot at 7am.

Stacked up against other tropical options

Compared to a straight mango flavour, Guava Edition is lighter and less syrupy, with more of that floral, slightly tart character instead of heavy sweetness. Compared to a passionfruit or dragonfruit pod, it's less sharp and acidic, sitting closer to the mellow end of the tropical fruit range. If you've tried a lychee flavour and liked its softer, more floral style, guava is a reasonable next step since the two share that gentler tropical profile rather than the punchier mango or pineapple style.

Not getting sick of it

Because the Reload is a smaller, replaceable pod system, it's actually one of the easier flavours to rotate without feeling like you're wasting anything. A few ways to keep it interesting:

• Swap in one of the other three flavours from the 4-in-1 pack between sessions rather than reaching for guava every single time, that's really what the multi-flavour format is there for.
• Pair a day of guava with a day of something sharper and more citrus-based, the contrast makes the guava's softness stand out more clearly when you come back to it.
• Avoid vaping it back to back with another musky or floral tropical flavour from a different device, since your palate can struggle to tell them apart after a while and both end up tasting muted.

A couple of practical notes

Guava is a subtler flavour than a lot of what's on the market, so it shows best when you're not also eating or drinking something strongly flavoured at the same time, coffee especially tends to flatten it out. It also tastes noticeably better on a pod that's still fresh, since this is a gentler profile that doesn't have a strong ice or menthol backbone to fall back on once the wick starts to dry out toward the end of its life.

Guava Edition FAQ

Does Guava Edition taste like a specific other fruit I'd recognise?

Not really on its own, though the light strawberry undertone gives it something familiar to hold onto. Most people describe it as somewhere between pear, strawberry, and true tropical guava rather than matching any single common fruit exactly.

Is there any ice or cooling in this flavour?

No, it's a pure fruit profile with no menthol or cooling agent, which is part of why it reads as warmer and softer than a lot of tropical vape flavours.

Why does this flavour feel weaker than others in the 4-in-1 pack?

Guava is naturally a subtler fruit than something like mango or passionfruit, so the flavour is built to be gentle rather than loud by design. It's not weaker in strength, just quieter in character, and it comes through more clearly on a slow, steady draw.
