IGET Bar Plus S3 Guide: Pods, Flavours, Setup and Manual Tips

Pod systems give you the freedom disposables can’t. You keep the battery and simply swap flavours.

The IGET Bar Plus S3 is the brand’s latest take on that idea.

It pairs a rechargeable battery with 10,000-puff pods and a smart screen.

This guide covers everything you need. We explain setup, charging, pods, flavours and common fixes.

Think of it as the plain-English manual the box doesn’t include.

By the end, you will know exactly how the IGET Bar Plus S3 works.

What Is the IGET Bar Plus S3?

The Bar Plus S3 is a pod-based vape system. It has two parts: a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods.

The battery stays with you for months. Meanwhile, each pod holds the flavour and the coil.

When a pod runs out, you click in a new one. So you never throw away a working battery.

That makes it a middle ground between disposables and refillable kits.

You get convenience without constant waste, and you never handle loose e-liquid.

Official Specifications

Here are the key specifications from IGET’s global website.

Specification	Bar Plus S3
Rated puffs	Up to 10,000 per pod
Battery	950 mAh, rechargeable
Charging	USB-C
Coil	1.0 Ω mesh coil
Display	Smart screen with real-time battery status
Size	30.5 mm diameter, 126.9 mm tall
Weight	100.6 g
Materials	PCTG, PC and stainless steel
Design	ROCK graffiti styling
Flavours	13 listed by IGET

In short, it is compact, light and built for flavour.

The mesh coil sits inside each pod, so every pod starts fresh.

What Comes in the Box?

Depending on the listing, the S3 comes as a kit or as pods only.

A starter kit usually includes the battery and a pre-installed pod. Pod packs include replacement pods only.

So if you are new to the S3, buy a kit first. After that, you only need S3 pods.

How to Set Up the S3

Setting up takes less than a minute. Follow these steps.

1. Unbox the battery and remove any protective film.
2. Take a pod out of its packaging.
3. Remove the silicone plug or sticker from the pod.
4. Line the pod up with the battery and push it in until it clicks.
5. Check the screen lights up.
6. Take a gentle draw to activate.

There are no buttons to press. The device fires automatically when you draw, which keeps things simple.

However, if the screen shows low battery, charge it before your first session.

Charging the S3 Battery

The S3 uses a 950 mAh battery with USB-C charging. That is smaller than the Bar Pro’s battery.

As a result, you will charge more often. On the other hand, the device is lighter and slimmer.

1. Plug a USB-C cable into the port.
2. Connect it to a standard 5V wall adapter.
3. Watch the smart screen show charging progress.
4. Unplug once it shows full.

Never charge overnight or unattended. Also, keep the device on a hard, flat surface while charging.

For more charging advice, read our guide on charging IGET devices safely.

Reading the Smart Screen

The S3’s smart screen shows real-time battery status. So you always know when to charge.

That removes a common frustration with pod systems. You won’t get caught with a flat battery mid-afternoon.

Also, it makes the S3 feel more premium than older pod devices.

How to Change an S3 Pod

Swapping pods is quick and clean. Here is how.

1. Pull the empty pod straight out of the battery.
2. Unwrap a new pod and remove its plug.
3. Push the new pod in until it clicks.
4. Wait a few seconds, then take a gentle draw.

That short wait lets the coil soak with fresh e-liquid. It helps avoid a dry first puff.

Also, dispose of empty pods responsibly. Although pods have no battery, they still contain nicotine residue.

When to Replace a Pod

Pods give clear signs when they are finished. Watch for these.

• Flavour becomes weak or tastes slightly burnt
• Vapour feels thin even with a charged battery
• The device stops firing but the battery is charged

Once you notice a burnt taste, swap the pod. Continuing only makes the taste worse.

Bar Plus S3 Flavours

The S3 pod range covers fruit, berry and drink-inspired flavours. Here are the flavours we stock.

Flavour	Style	Tasting Notes

Our S3 Flavour Picks

First, Lemonade Monster is the most distinctive. It tastes unlike anything else in the pod range.

Second, Peach Lychee Lime Ice suits people who like light, floral fruit.

Third, Strawberry Watermelon Ice is the safest crowd-pleaser.

The Original IGET Bar Plus vs the S3

IGET’s earlier Bar Plus system is still popular. Here is how the two compare.

Feature	IGET Bar Plus (Original)	IGET S3
Rated puffs per pod	Up to 6,000	Up to 10,000
Screen	No	Smart screen
Charging	USB-C	USB-C
Coil	Mesh	1.0 Ω mesh
Design	Classic	ROCK graffiti
Best for	Budget pod users	Longer-lasting pods

Clearly, the S3 is the upgrade. Each pod lasts far longer, and the screen adds convenience.

Still, the original IGET Bar Plus 6000 kit and Bar Plus pods remain great value.

Are S3 Pods Compatible With the Original Bar Plus?

The S3 pods are designed for the S3 battery. Likewise, original Bar Plus pods are designed for the original battery.

So always match pods to your device. If you are unsure, check the product page before ordering.

Pod System vs Disposable: Which Is Better?

It depends on how you vape. This comparison helps.

Factor	Pod System (S3)	Rechargeable Disposable (Bar Pro)
Flavour switching	Easy, swap pods any time	Buy a new device
Upfront cost	Kit plus pods	One device
Waste	Less, battery is reused	More, whole device replaced
Weight	100.6 g	93 g
Puffs per unit	Up to 10,000 per pod	Up to 10,000 per device

In short, pods suit flavour explorers and regular users. Disposables suit people who want zero setup.

For a disposable alternative, see the IGET Bar Pro 10000.

Understanding Pod Nicotine and Flavour Consistency

Every standard S3 pod uses the same 5% nicotine salt. So switching flavours never changes strength.

However, flavour intensity can vary slightly between pods. Fresh pods usually taste brightest.

Also, the first few puffs from a new pod can feel lighter. The coil needs a moment to saturate fully.

After that, the mesh coil keeps flavour steady until the pod runs low.

That consistency is a key advantage of mesh.

For more on strength, read our guide on how much nicotine is in an IGET Bar.

Troubleshooting the S3

Most issues have quick fixes. Here are the common ones.

The Device Won’t Fire

First, check the pod is pushed in fully until it clicks. A loose pod won’t connect.

Next, check the battery on the screen. Charge it if it is low.

Burnt or Dry Taste

A brand-new pod may taste dry if you vape immediately. Wait a few seconds after inserting it.

However, a burnt taste later on usually means the pod is empty. Replace it.

Leaking Pod

Store the device upright and away from heat. Also, avoid pulling too hard on each draw.

If a new pod leaks straight away, contact the seller. It may be faulty.

Screen Not Showing

The battery may be completely flat. Charge it for 20 minutes, then try again.

Pairing Pods Through the Week

Many S3 owners build a simple weekly rotation. It keeps every flavour tasting fresh.

For example, start the week with Strawberry Watermelon Ice. Then move to Blackberry Ice midweek.

Next, finish with Lemonade Monster on the weekend. The contrast keeps your palate sharp.

Of course, you can change the order any time. That flexibility is the whole point of a pod system.

Getting the Most From Your S3

A few habits improve flavour and battery life.

• Charge when the screen shows around 20% battery.
• Take short, gentle draws.
• Wait a few seconds after inserting a new pod.
• Store pods sealed until you need them.
• Keep the device out of hot cars and direct sun.

Also, rotate flavours to avoid flavour fatigue. That is one of the joys of a pod system.

Who Should Choose a Pod System?

Pod systems aren’t for everyone. However, they suit certain habits perfectly.

The Flavour Explorer

If you get bored easily, pods are ideal.

You can keep three or four flavours on hand and switch whenever you like.

For example, run a fruity pod during the day and a mint pod in the evening.

The Regular Daily User

If you vape every day, the reusable battery saves money over time. You only replace the pod.

As a result, the cost per puff drops compared with buying new devices.

The Waste-Conscious Vaper

Every disposable contains a lithium battery. By contrast, a pod system keeps one battery in use for months.

So fewer batteries end up needing disposal. That matters for the environment.

The Minimalist

If you want one device and one flavour for weeks, a disposable may suit you better.

Pods shine when you want variety.

The ROCK Graffiti Design

IGET styles the S3 with its ROCK graffiti design. It features bold colour and street-art graphics.

That look sets it apart from plain pod devices. Many people like how it stands out.

Also, the slim cylindrical body fits easily in a pocket. At just over 100 grams, it feels light but solid.

Storing Spare Pods

If you buy pods in bulk, good storage keeps them fresh.

• Keep pods sealed in their packaging until use.
• Store them upright in a cool, dark cupboard.
• Avoid humid bathrooms and hot cars.
• Use older pods first so nothing sits too long.

In addition, store all pods well away from children and pets. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed.

Taking the S3 on Holiday

A pod system travels well because the pods are small. Still, a few rules apply.

The battery must travel in your carry-on bag. Airlines don’t allow vape batteries in checked luggage.

Also, you can’t use or charge the device on board.

Our guide on taking a vape on a plane explains the details.

Finally, if you are travelling overseas, check local laws first. Rules differ widely between countries.

Recycling Empty Pods and Old Batteries

Empty pods don’t contain a battery, yet they still hold nicotine residue. So don’t leave them lying around.

Meanwhile, the S3 battery eventually wears out after many charge cycles.

When it does, take it to an e-waste or battery drop-off.

Our guide on how to dispose of vapes lists the safest options.

Buying S3 Pods in Bulk

If you vape regularly, pods add up quickly. Buying several at once saves money.

Our IGET bundles and bulk packs let you mix pod flavours. They lower the price per pod.

Plus, every order ships free. Paying with crypto saves a further 15%.

Genuine S3 Pods Matter

Counterfeit pods are common. They may leak, taste burnt or damage the battery contacts.

Genuine pods carry IGET’s security code on the packaging. Our IGET authentication guide explains how to verify them.

At Official IGET, we are your one-stop shop for genuine IGET products.

We are not the manufacturer, but every pod we sell is authentic.

A Quick Setup Checklist

Before your first session, run through this short list. It prevents most early problems.

• Is the battery charged, or at least above 20%?
• Has the pod’s plug or sticker been removed?
• Did the pod click firmly into place?
• Did you wait a few seconds before the first draw?
• Is the screen showing the battery level?

If every answer is yes, you are ready to go. If not, fix that step first.

How the S3 Compares With Other Pod Systems We Stock

IGET isn’t the only brand making pod systems. For instance, the IGET Halo offers a smaller kit with 3,000-puff pods.

Meanwhile, the Halo suits lighter users. The S3 suits regular users who want longer-lasting pods and a screen.

Therefore, choose based on how much you vape. Heavy users will appreciate the S3’s 10,000-puff pods.

Final Thoughts on the IGET Bar Plus S3

The S3 brings real upgrades to IGET’s pod system. It offers longer-lasting pods, a smart screen and a stylish design.

It suits adults who love flavour variety and want less waste.

It also suits anyone moving on from the original Bar Plus.

Start with a kit, add a few pod flavours and enjoy switching whenever you like.

Then build a rotation that suits your week, and restock pods before you run out.
