IVG Air 4-in-1 Review: Best Legal Big Puff Vape

By this point, you’re probably well aware of the fact that a ban on disposable vapes in the UK is on the way very soon. With the ban set to take effect on 1 June, vape manufacturers are scrambling to adapt their most popular disposable vapes and create variations that will still be legal to sell.

To remain legal after the disposable vape ban, a device must be rechargeable, refillable and have a replaceable coil. It can look and operate like a disposable vape, in other words, but it essentially needs to be a traditional pre-filled pod system at heart.

That’s exactly what the new IVG Air 4-in-1 is. It looks very similar to the IVG 2400 disposable vape that has recently been so popular in the UK – but it’s compliant with the upcoming ban because the battery is rechargeable, and the pods are sold separately.

We might be getting a little ahead of ourselves for those of you who aren’t already familiar with the IVG 2400. So, what is the IVG Air 4-in-1? It’s a pre-filled pod system that holds four pods simultaneously, which means that you can switch flavours on demand. It also means that you can fill your device once and potentially vape for a week or longer before filling it again.

If you enjoy the convenience of using a pre-filled vape but hate the fact that you can’t go anywhere without at least one spare pod in your pocket, the IVG Air 4-in-1 will probably be a total game-changer for you. It does come with a bit of a cost, though, as it’s noticeably larger than some other vaping devices.

Is the IVG Air destined to become your new daily driver? In this review, I’ll explain everything you need to know.

How Much Does the IVG Air 4-in-1 Cost?

The IVG Air 4-in-1 kit costs just £9.96 and includes the device along with four pre-filled pods. Although the kit doesn’t normally include a charging cable, VSAVI includes a free cable for those who need one. As is often the case with pre-filled pod vapes, the cost of the starter kit is extremely low to make it a good impulse buy, with the manufacturer hoping to make its money back when you return for the refill pods.

The IVG Air kit is available in 10 variations, with each variation having a different colour and a different selection of four flavours. Here’s an overview of your choices.

• Black Edition: Fizzy Cherry, Fizzy Lemon, Kiwi Pineapple and Strawberry Watermelon
• Blue Edition: Blue Sour Raspberry, Blue Raspberry Ice, Blue Raspberry Cherry and Strawberry Watermelon
• Gold Edition: Fizzy Cherry, Tropical Fruits, Kiwi Pineapple and Pineapple Ice
• Green Edition: Fizzy Cola, Watermelon Lemon, Fizzy Lemon and Mango Pineapple
• Pink Edition: Fizzy Cherry, Watermelon Ice, Lemon Lime and Pineapple Ice
• Purple Edition: Grape Ice, Blue Razz Cherry, Fizzy Cherry and Blue Razz Plum
• Red Edition: Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Ice, Watermelon Ice and Fizzy Cherry
• Silver Edition: Kiwi Pineapple, Watermelon Lemon, Lemon Lime and Blue Raspberry Ice
• Sky Blue Edition: Fizzy Cherry, Blue Sour Raspberry, Blue Raspberry Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Ice

IVG Air 4-in-1: Features

The best way to understand what makes the IVG Air 4-in-1 special and unique is by knowing its features. Here’s why the IVG Air 4-in-1 isn’t quite like any other vape you’ve seen.

• Although it’s similar in operation to other pre-filled pod systems, it holds four pods rather than just one. It’s much longer lasting than a traditional disposable vape – and unlike with a pod system that only holds one pod, you can leave the house with the IVG Air 4-in-1 without making sure that you’ve carrying an extra pod.
• The fact that the IVG Air 4-in-1 holds four pods opens up the possibility of carrying four flavours at once and switching between them on demand to keep the experience fresh. If you’re not one for variety, you can also just have an extra-large supply of a single flavour.
• You can switch between pods on demand by twisting the top half of the device. The IVG Air 4-in-1 has windows on the side to let you know which flavour is currently active.
• Each IVG Air pod contains 2 ml of e-liquid and lasts up to 600 puffs. Depending on how you vape, you could potentially use the device for a week or longer before you’ll need to think about replacing the pods. This could make the IVG Air 4-in-1 a real game-changer if you’re tired of needing to refill your device or replace the pod constantly and don’t mind the fact that it’s a little larger than some other vapes.
• Because each pod includes its own coil, there’s no need to worry about burnt or “off” flavours with the IVG Air 4-in-1 – even when you’re using very sweet flavours. By the time a pod might have begun to taste burnt, it’ll be empty anyway.

How to Use the IVG Air 4-in-1

Being such a unique device, it’s a welcome feature that the IVG Air 4-in-1 includes an instruction card to help you get started. In case you’ve never used the disposable IVG 2400, though, you might appreciate a brief intro before buying the IVG Air because it’ll help to give you an idea of what using this device is like.

Initial Setup

To get the IVG Air 4-in-1 ready for use after removing it from the package, here’s what you’ll need to do.

• Remove the sticker from the bottom of the device and remove the plug from the mouthpiece. Discard both items.
• Twist the mouthpiece counterclockwise and pull it straight up to remove it. Under the mouthpiece, you’ll see the four pod chambers.
• Insert the pods into the four chambers with the arrows pointing down. You can install the pods in any order because the windows on the side of the IVG Air 4-in-1 will let you know which pod is currently selected.
• Push the mouthpiece back into the device and turn it clockwise to lock it. Note that the mouthpiece’s post is keyed, which means that you won’t be able to push it in unless it’s lined up properly.

Vaping

• Rotate the two halves of the IVG Air 4-in-1 to select your desired flavour. Notice that the bottom half of the device has an arrow, and the top half has windows for the four pods. Make sure that the arrow lines up with the window corresponding to the pod that you want to use.
• Inhale through the mouthpiece to vape. The IVG Air 4-in-1 has an automatic airflow sensor and generates vapour automatically when you draw air through it. If you’re new to vaping, simply inhale and exhale the vapour like you would with cigarette smoke. You’ll get used to it quickly.

Charging

As you use the IVG Air 4-in-1, the ring around the middle of the device will change colour to signify the battery’s current charge level as follows:

• Blue: The battery’s charge is between 50 and 100 percent.
• Orange: The battery’s charge is between 20 and 50 percent.
• Red: The battery’s charge is between 0 and 20 percent.

When the IVG Air 4-in-1 flashes red, it’s time to charge the battery. Connect the device to your computer using a USB-C cable. Whilst charging, the light pulses orange. The light turns off when charging is complete.

Replacing the Pods

When a pod begins to produce a burnt flavour, it’s time to replace it. You can do that the same way you initially loaded the device: Twist off the mouthpiece, remove the empty pod and replace it with a new one. You can replace an empty pod whenever you like; there’s no need to wait until all four pods are empty.

IVG Air 4-in-1 Review: Final Thoughts

The IVG Air 4-in-1 is quickly becoming one of the most popular vapes in the UK – and when the ban on disposable vapes takes effect in June, its popularity will only grow. Most people will find that they only need to refill it once a week or so. In the meantime, it offers the same convenience as a disposable vape – just puff when you want to vape and recharge it when the light starts to blink.

The fact that you can change flavours on demand adds an extra dimension of fun to the IVG Air 4-in-1 that most people are going to love. Even if you’re a single-flavour vaper, you’re still going to love this device’s enormous capacity because it means that you can fill your device and forget about it for days.

The enormous capacity does come with a trade-off, though, in that the IVG Air 4-in-1 is noticeably larger than most disposable vapes and many pod systems. You should still have no trouble fitting the device in your pocket, though, so I think most people will consider that a fair trade.
