IVG 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquid 100ml – Forest Berries Ice

IVG 70/30 Forest Berries Ice 100ml: A Basketful Of Berries With A Frozen Edge

Picture a hedgerow in late summer, heavy with dark fruit, then imagine that whole tangle of berries picked, crushed and dropped into a glass of iced water. That is the space this shortfill lives in. Forest Berries Ice is a mixed-berry blend with a clean menthol chill running through it, built on a 70/30 base that is made for big, rolling clouds and direct-to-lung vaping. In a generous 100ml short fill bottle, it is the kind of liquid you settle in with rather than sip at.

Berry blends are everywhere, but a genuinely good one is harder to find than the crowded shelves suggest. Get the balance wrong and you end up with a flat, jammy sweetness or a berry note so vague it could be anything. This one aims for definition, letting each fruit pull its weight before the ice arrives to tie it all together and sharpen the finish.

Breaking Down The Flavour, Layer By Layer

The inhale opens juicy and dark. You get blackberry first, that deep, slightly wine-like sweetness, quickly joined by blueberry which rounds off the edges and adds a soft, almost jammy body. There is a brightness underneath too, a raspberry-style tartness that keeps the whole thing from sitting too heavy. Together they read as a proper mixed forest fruit, not a single berry pretending to be a medley.

As the vapour develops across the mid-draw, the fruit deepens and the sweetness fills out. This is where the 70/30 base earns its keep. The higher VG content carries the flavour on a thick, smooth vapour, so the berries feel ripe and full-bodied rather than thin. You can almost pick out the individual fruits swirling together, dark and sweet at the core, tart and lively around the edges.

The exhale is where the ice takes over. A cool menthol wave washes across the berries and lifts them, adding a crisp, refreshing snap that turns a warm summer-fruit flavour into something frosted and revitalising. It is not a nose-numbing blast of koolada. The chill is measured, more like biting into a chilled berry straight from the fridge than sucking on a mint. The aftertaste is clean and slightly sweet, with the cooling sensation fading gently rather than clinging.

Who Will Love This, And When It Hits Best

Forest Berries Ice is aimed squarely at cloud chasers and sub-ohm vapers who want a fruit flavour with backbone. If you run a direct-to-lung tank or a high-power pod and you like your berries loud, this delivers. The ice element also makes it a strong pick for anyone who finds plain fruit flavours a touch flat and wants that extra refreshing kick to keep things interesting.

It is a fantastic warm-weather all-dayer. The frozen edge makes it genuinely thirst-quenching on a hot afternoon, and the berry sweetness stops it feeling clinical. That said, it holds up all year round, because the fruit base is rich enough to feel satisfying even when the ice is doing less heavy lifting in colder months. It suits active days, long drives and lazy afternoons in the garden equally well, and it is forgiving enough to sit in your tank from morning to night without wearing out its welcome.

• Hot days: the ice turns it into a cooling, thirst-quenching all-dayer.
• Long sessions: the balanced sweetness means it rarely fatigues the palate.
• Cloud chasing: the 70/30 base throws thick vapour that shows off the berry depth.
• After sweet flavours: the menthol cleanses the palate and feels like a reset.

Mixing, Nic Shots And Getting The Ratio Right

Because this is a short fill, the 100ml of liquid arrives nicotine-free in a larger bottle with room to spare. That headroom is deliberate. It lets you add a nicotine shot to reach the strength you want, then shake it thoroughly to mix. In the UK, remember that shortfills and nic shots are the standard way to buy larger volumes of higher-VG liquid, and any nic salt strength you choose still sits within the 20mg/ml legal cap.

Give the bottle a proper shake once you have added your shot, ideally for a minute or two, so the nicotine and any freshly introduced base are fully blended. Some vapers like to let a berry menthol shortfill sit for a short while after mixing, which can help the flavours marry, though this blend is perfectly enjoyable straight away. If you prefer zero nicotine, you can simply vape it as it comes.

How It Stacks Up, And What To Rotate With It

Compared with a plain mixed-berry liquid, the Ice version is brighter, sharper and more refreshing, which makes it far easier to vape all day without the sweetness becoming heavy. Compared with a single-fruit iced flavour like blueberry ice or blackcurrant ice, this one is more complex, because the layered berries give it a fuller, more rounded character. If you have found single-note fruits a bit boring, the medley here offers more to chew on.

To avoid palate fatigue, rotate it with flavours that live in a different world entirely. A creamy dessert, a tobacco blend or a citrus flavour all provide contrast, so your taste buds do not simply tune out the berries after a full tank. If you want to stay in the fruity lane, a tropical blend such as mango or pineapple gives your palate a change of scene without clashing. What you want to avoid is running two similar dark-fruit menthols back to back, since they blur into one another and dull the experience.

Practical Notes For The Best Possible Flavour

High-VG berry liquids reward a fresh, well-wicked coil. This blend tastes its most vivid on a coil that is not tired or gunked up, so if the berries start to feel muted or the sweetness dominates, a coil change usually brings the fruit and the ice back to full clarity. Running your device at a sensible wattage for your coil also helps, since too little power leaves the flavour thin and too much can push the menthol into harshness.

Store the bottle upright, somewhere cool and out of direct light, to protect the fruit top notes and the cooling agent, both of which can soften if the liquid is left to bake in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill. Sealed and stored sensibly, a shortfill this size keeps well, so buying the full 100ml is a genuinely economical way to keep a flavour you love in constant supply.

How strong is the ice in Forest Berries Ice?

It is a moderate, refreshing chill rather than an extreme freeze. The menthol lifts and brightens the berries without numbing your throat, so you get a crisp, cooling finish that most fruit-menthol fans find comfortable for all-day use.

Can I vape this in a small pod device?

It is designed as a 70/30 short fill for direct-to-lung and sub-ohm setups, so it performs best in a tank or high-power pod. In a tight mouth-to-lung device the thicker VG base can struggle to wick, so a sub-ohm-friendly setup is the way to get the most from it.

Which fruit comes through the strongest?

Blackberry and blueberry form the dark, sweet heart of the blend, with a raspberry-style tartness lifting it. No single berry dominates completely, which is the point. It reads as a full basket of forest fruits rather than one berry wearing a costume.
