IGET Bar Plus S3 Pod Banana Ice Refill Pod Vape
This is the refill pod for the Banana Ice blend, supplied on its own for an S3 base already in use. One pre filled pod is rated for up to 10000 puffs with a new mesh coil inside it. Banana is unusual in a vape range, and it is also unusual as a taste, because the fruit it is built from does not stay the same thing from one day to the next. What has been captured here is the ripe stage, which is the one that survives being turned into vapour.
The One Fruit That Keeps Changing
Most fruits taste like themselves. An apple is an apple and a strawberry is a strawberry, and the taste does not shift depending on when it is eaten. Banana is different. An underripe banana is firm, green and slightly sharp; a ripe one is sweet and creamy; and a banana left too long becomes heavier and sweeter with an edge that has nothing to do with fruit at all. Three genuinely different experiences, one fruit.
| Stage | What banana tastes like |
|---|---|
| Underripe | Firm, slightly green and a little sharp. Closer to the peel than to the flesh. |
| Ripe | Sweet, soft and rounded, with the creamy weight banana is known for. |
| Past ripe | Heavier and sweeter still, with a faintly alcoholic edge as the fruit turns. |
| Which one a pod uses | Ripe, which is the version that translates best into vapour and the one most buyers recognise. |
| Where the cold sits | At the finish, after the fruit has registered. |
That is why banana tastes vary so much between products, and why a buyer who disliked one may still enjoy another. The version here is the ripe middle ground, sweet and soft with the creamy weight intact, and it does not carry the artificial tang that banana lollies have. Buyers who want the sharp, green side of the fruit will not find it in this pod, because that version does not survive the trip into vapour well.
A Fruit Taste With No Acidity to Close It
Like mango and watermelon, banana has almost nothing acidic in it. There is nothing at the end of the fruit to bring a draw to a stop, which is why banana tastes so often feel unfinished. Pairing it with a chilled finish solves that in the same way it does for a soft melon, by giving the puff an ending rather than letting it trail away.
The behaviour over a pod is worth knowing too. The lighter, brighter part of a banana taste thins first, while the creamy weight stays behind, so a pod reads slightly fuller and sweeter in its final days than it did at the start. That is the reverse of how the citrus and berry pods in this range behave, and it means the change in this pod moves in the direction most buyers tend to prefer.
Buying and Replacing the Pod
The refill is the pod on its own and needs an S3 base already at home. The kit contains this pod plus the rechargeable base, the display and the charging port, and for a first purchase it is cheaper than buying the two halves separately. A bare replacement base is available as the third listing for a device that needs swapping out.
Every pod in this range shares the same fitting and the same coil arrangement, so a banana pod can sit on the same base as any fruit or mint pod and be moved between them freely. There is no filling, no cleaning and nothing to adjust, and the base needs no attention when the taste changes.
Banana Ice Pod Questions
Does a banana pod taste like the fruit or like a banana lolly?
More like the fruit than like the sweet, though it leans sweet. The creamy weight of a ripe banana is what the pod is built around, and there is none of the artificial sharpness a banana lolly can carry.
Why does the taste get sweeter near the end of a pod?
Because the lighter part of the fruit thins first while the creamy weight holds. A banana pod reads fuller and sweeter in its final third, which is the opposite of how the citrus and berry pods behave.
Does the cold suit banana?
It works better than it might sound, because banana has no acidity to close a draw on its own. The chilled finish gives the puff an ending, and it arrives after the fruit rather than over it.
Do I need a base to use this pod?
Yes. The pod carries no cell inside it, so an S3 base is required before it will fire at all.
How many puffs should I expect from one pod?
Up to 10000 puffs is the rating for a single pod. Draw length and how often the device is used decide the real figure.
Where do I buy this pod in Australia?
Banana is a less common taste in a vape range, so it tends to be bought by buyers who have already worked through the fruit blends. It is listed at https://smokeoz.com and can be ordered as a single unit.
Buy Pod Vapes in Australia
Buyers in Australia who enjoy less common tastes are better served by a pod system than by sealed units, because the cost of trying something unusual is one pod rather than a whole device. On the S3 the battery and the display stay in service across every option change, so a banana pod can be tried alongside the berry blends without any extra hardware.
Why SmokeOZ?
Banana is a taste that varies more between products than almost any other, because the fruit itself changes as it ripens and only one stage survives being turned into vapour. SmokeOZ says which stage this pod is built around, why the taste moves in the opposite direction to the fruit pods as a pod empties, and where the chilled finish sits in the draw. The pod, the kit and a replacement base are all listed separately, nothing has to be bought in multiples, and stock is held in an Australian local warehouse rather than ordered in for each purchase.
To order the refill pod in Banana Ice, go to https://smokeoz.com for the current price and a single unit order, or add a pod in another S3 taste to the same basket.
