A few more questions
Can I use the same kit for both?
Yes, both are high VG sub ohm shortfills, so they use the same sub ohm kit and the same nic shots.
Which has more flavours?
Both offer wide ranges; rather than counting, pick the flavours you most want to try and check current availability.
Flavour identity is the real difference
With format, quality and usage so closely matched, flavour identity becomes the genuine deciding factor. Bar Series exists to recreate the disposable flavours people switched from, so if that familiar disposable taste is what you want, it is purpose built for it. IVG, with its own long running ranges, appeals to vapers who have come to love its particular blends.
Neither identity is better, they simply speak to different preferences. Knowing what you want from a flavour, familiar disposable profiles or IVG’s own style, is the clearest way to choose between two otherwise very similar shortfills.
Our honest take
Our honest take is that both are dependable choices, and the smart move is to let taste and price lead. If you are chasing that disposable flavour experience, Bar Series is the natural pick; if you already enjoy IVG, there is no reason to change. Try a flavour from each, note which you reach for, and you have your answer.

A quick word on safety and the law
Vaping is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Shortfills are sold nicotine free, but adding a nicotine shot makes them a nicotine product, which is addictive, and they are not suitable for non smokers, pregnant women or anyone under 18. By law you must be 18 or over to buy vaping products and nicotine shots in the UK, and we age verify every order in line with Challenge 25. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, your local stop smoking service offers free, tailored support.
UK public health bodies advise that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and if you do not smoke the advice is not to start.
