IVG 70/30 Shortfill E-Liquid 100ml – Spearmint

IVG 70/30 Spearmint 100ml: the softer, sweeter side of cool

Peppermint gets all the attention, but spearmint is the one that keeps quietly winning people over. Where peppermint arrives cold and sharp and slightly medicinal, spearmint is rounder, gentler and noticeably sweeter, the flavour of chewing gum and garden herbs rather than a mouthful of ice. In this 100ml shortfill, IVG has built that softer mint on a 70/30 base, meaning it is tuned for sub-ohm vaping, bigger clouds and a smooth, cooling delivery rather than a tight throat hit.

As a shortfill, this bottle arrives nicotine free with room left for a nic shot if you want it, which lets you set the strength to suit your own device and habit. For a mint this clean, plenty of vapers keep the nicotine low, or leave it out, and simply enjoy the flavour and the vapour. The 70 percent VG base is the reason the clouds are generous and the inhale feels soft on the chest.

Taste profile: how the coolness actually unfolds

The first inhale is where spearmint separates itself from its sharper cousin. Instead of an icy stab, you get a smooth, sweet green freshness that spreads across the tongue. It reads as cool rather than cold, more of a breeze than a blast. There is a herbal, almost leafy quality underneath the sweetness that stops it tasting like plain sugar with menthol bolted on.

Through the mid vape the sweetness settles and the mint takes the lead. This is a clean, confident middle, with none of the bitterness that low quality mints can develop. The 70/30 base carries the flavour on a soft, rolling vapour, so the coolness feels rounded and full rather than thin and stabbing. It is the kind of mid draw you can take slowly and actually savour.

On the exhale, spearmint does its signature trick. The cool lifts gently up through the sinuses, refreshing rather than numbing, and the aftertaste stays sweet and tidy. Your mouth feels genuinely cleaner afterward, which is why so many people treat spearmint as a palate resetting flavour. There is no lingering chemical bite, just a fresh, faintly sweet finish that invites the next draw.

Who it suits and the best moments to vape it

Spearmint is the mint for people who find peppermint and heavy menthol too aggressive. If straight ice makes you cough or feels like sucking on a frozen sweet, this softer profile is far more comfortable. It also suits ex smokers who associate mint with cleanliness and freshness, and anyone who wants a flavour that will not clash with food or coffee throughout the day.

As for timing, spearmint genuinely earns its keep as a morning and after meals vape. First thing, it feels bright and waking without being harsh. After lunch or dinner, it works like a breath freshener, wiping the slate clean. It is also the ideal hot weather flavour, since the gentle cooling is refreshing when a sweet fruit or dessert would feel too heavy in the heat.

How it compares, and how to rotate it

Set against peppermint, spearmint is sweeter, softer and much less medicinal. Against a double menthol or an ice blend, it is warmer and more approachable, trading raw cold for a rounded, herbal freshness. And against fresh mint blends, it leans a little sweeter and greener, closer to the chewing gum end of the spectrum than the toothpaste end.

Mint is famous for being an all day flavour precisely because it resists palate fatigue better than sweet blends do. That said, vaping it non stop can eventually numb your sense of taste, so a sensible rotation keeps it fresh. Spearmint pairs beautifully with fruit on alternate days, since a berry or a citrus flavour brings colour that the clean mint lacks, and returning to the spearmint afterward feels crisp and reviving. It also blends conceptually well with anyone who mixes their own, since a splash of spearmint can lift a flat fruit shortfill into something cooler and more finished.

• Vape it when: you wake up, after meals, in hot weather, or whenever your palate feels coated and you want a reset.
• Rotate it with: a berry or citrus flavour on alternate days to keep both tasting vivid.
• Reach for it over fruit when: the heat makes sweet blends feel sickly and you want something clean.

Getting the truest taste from the shortfill

Because this is a 70/30 sub-ohm liquid, it performs best on a lower resistance coil with decent airflow. Choke the airflow right down and you lose some of the cooling lift that makes spearmint so satisfying, so open it up and take a slightly longer, softer draw to get the full effect. Mint also tends to taste at its purest on a reasonably fresh coil, since older, gunked coils can mute the clean top end that this flavour depends on.

If you add a nic shot, give the bottle a proper shake and let it stand for a little while so the nicotine and flavour distribute evenly. A quick steep does not transform mint the way it can with a dessert, but an even mix always tastes cleaner. Store the bottle upright, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, because heat and light slowly degrade the crisp cooling notes and can leave the mint tasting flat over time.

Value and who should avoid it

A 100ml shortfill is one of the better value ways to vape, since you are buying a large volume of liquid and topping up nicotine yourself rather than paying disposable prices for small pods. For an everyday flavour like spearmint that you might get through steadily, that scale genuinely adds up.

It will not suit everyone though. If you actively want the sharpest, coldest, most throat gripping menthol possible, spearmint will feel too mild and too sweet for you; a hard ice or double menthol is the better call. Anyone who dislikes the herbal, chewing gum character of spearmint specifically, as some peppermint fans do, should also steer clear. And since this is a sub-ohm 70/30 liquid, it is not designed for tight mouth to lung pod devices, so pair it with the right hardware to enjoy it properly.

Spearmint FAQ

How is spearmint different from peppermint?

Spearmint is sweeter, softer and more herbal, with a gentle cooling that lifts through the sinuses rather than stabbing. Peppermint is colder, sharper and more medicinal. If menthol usually feels too harsh for you, spearmint is the friendlier choice.

Does it need much nicotine to be enjoyable?

Not at all. As a clean, refreshing flavour on a cloud friendly 70/30 base, spearmint is very pleasant even at low nicotine or nicotine free. You control the strength by choosing how much of a nic shot to add, so you can dial it to your own needs.

Why does my spearmint taste weaker over time?

Usually the coil is the culprit. Mint relies on a clean top end, and an aging, gunked coil mutes exactly that. Fitting a fresh coil restores the crisp coolness. Storing the bottle away from heat and sunlight also protects the flavour from fading.

Nicotine, where added, is for over 18s only. Nicotine is an addictive substance. This shortfill is intended for existing adult smokers and vapers.
