What Is the IGET Bar Plus?
The IGET Bar Plus is a rechargeable pod-based vape system that bridges the gap between disposable convenience and refillable economy. Rather than tossing the entire device after the e-liquid runs out, you simply swap an IGET pod into the same battery unit and keep vaping. The result is less waste, lower long-term cost and a consistently satisfying draw.
IGET designed the Bar Plus around a 600 mAh internal battery, a magnetic pod connection and a draw-activated firing mechanism — no buttons, no menus, no learning curve. Each pod is pre-filled with 6 mL of nicotine salt e-liquid and delivers roughly 6,000 puffs, which is comparable to three or four traditional disposable vapes. You can browse the full IGET range at Vape Well Australia to see every compatible pod flavour currently in stock.

IGET Bar Plus S3 — What Has Changed?
The IGET Bar Plus S3 is the 2026 revision of the original Bar Plus platform. Externally the two look almost identical, but the S3 introduces three meaningful upgrades under the hood.
First, IGET increased the mesh coil surface area inside each S3 pod, which translates to denser vapour production and slightly improved flavour clarity — especially noticeable on fruit and menthol blends. Second, the battery has been bumped to 650 mAh. That may sound modest, but it means you can comfortably drain an entire pod on a single charge without topping up midway. Third, the airflow pathway has been widened by roughly 15 per cent, giving the S3 a looser, more natural mouth-to-lung draw that many Australian vapers prefer.
Crucially, S3 pods are backward-compatible with the original Bar Plus battery, and original pods fit the S3 unit. If you already own a Bar Plus, you can try S3 pods without buying new hardware.
IGET Pods — Flavour Range and Highlights
As of May 2026, IGET offers more than 30 pod flavours for the Bar Plus and S3 systems. The lineup spans tobacco, menthol, fruit, dessert and mixed categories. Below are some of the most popular picks among Australian customers.
Top-Selling Flavours
- Watermelon Ice: Sweet watermelon with a frosty exhale — the perennial best-seller.
- Mango Bomb: Rich tropical mango with a candy undertone.
- Grape Ice: Concord grape with a cooling menthol finish.
- Classic Tobacco: Dry, earthy tobacco for former cigarette smokers.
- Strawberry Kiwi: Balanced berry-and-kiwi pairing with mild sweetness.
If you are new to IGET pods, a multi-flavour sampler pack is a smart way to discover your preferences before committing to a bulk order. Check the latest pod availability in the Vape Well Australia shop.
Cost-Per-Puff Analysis — Bar Plus vs Disposables
One of the strongest arguments for switching to the IGET Bar Plus is the maths. A standard 600-puff disposable vape retails between $15 and $20 in Australia. The Bar Plus pod, delivering around 6,000 puffs, typically costs $18–$22. Even when you factor in the one-off cost of the battery unit ($25–$30), you break even within the first two pods and save progressively from there.
| Device | Puffs | Typical Price (AUD) | Cost Per 1,000 Puffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generic 600-puff disposable | 600 | $16 | $26.67 |
| IGET Legend (4,000 puffs) | 4,000 | $28 | $7.00 |
| IGET Bar Plus pod | 6,000 | $20 | $3.33 |
| IGET Bar Plus S3 pod | 6,000 | $22 | $3.67 |
Over the course of a year, a daily vaper switching from disposables to the Bar Plus system can save upwards of $500–$700 AUD. The environmental benefit of not discarding batteries and plastic housings every few days is a welcome bonus.

Which Should You Buy?
If you are primarily motivated by savings and already enjoy the IGET flavour profile, the original Bar Plus is hard to beat. If you want marginally better vapour density and a slightly airier draw, the S3 justifies its small price premium. Either way, both devices accept the same pods, so you are never locked into one ecosystem. For a broader look at how IGET competes against other brands, visit our full vapes collection.
Tips for Getting the Most from Your IGET Bar Plus
Battery Care
Avoid letting the battery drain completely before recharging. Lithium-ion cells last longest when kept between 20 and 80 per cent charge. A quick 20-minute top-up during lunch is better than a full zero-to-100 cycle overnight.
Pod Storage
Store unused pods in a cool, dark place. Heat and direct sunlight degrade nicotine salt e-liquid faster, which can mute flavour and darken the liquid colour. An unopened pod stored at room temperature should maintain peak quality for at least six months.
Cleaning the Contacts
If you notice a drop in vapour production, gently wipe the magnetic contacts on both the pod and the battery with a dry cotton bud. E-liquid residue can build up over time and interrupt the electrical connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are IGET Bar Plus S3 pods compatible with the original Bar Plus?
Yes. S3 pods use the same magnetic connection as original Bar Plus pods, so they work interchangeably with both battery units. You do not need to buy a new device to try S3 pods.
How many puffs does an IGET pod actually last?
IGET rates each pod at approximately 6,000 puffs. Real-world results vary based on draw length and frequency. Most users report getting between 5,000 and 6,500 puffs per pod.
Can I refill IGET Bar Plus pods myself?
IGET pods are designed as sealed, pre-filled units. While some users attempt to refill them, doing so voids any warranty and risks leaking. For a refillable alternative, consider the Uwell Caliburn range.
Is the IGET Bar Plus worth it compared to disposables?
For most vapers, yes. The cost-per-puff is roughly 85 per cent lower than a standard 600-puff disposable. The upfront investment in a battery unit pays for itself within two pod purchases.
Where can I buy authentic IGET Bar Plus in Australia?
You can purchase verified authentic IGET Bar Plus devices and pods from Vape Well Australia. Always check the IGET verification code on the packaging to confirm authenticity — counterfeits are common in the Australian market. For additional verification tips, see IGET's official website.
