A Guide to IVG Vapes

IVG (I Vape Great) is one of the UK's most recognised vape brands, with a wide range of devices to suit every type of vaper. This guide walks through every IVG device available, explaining how each one works to help you decide which is the right fit for you.

What is IVG?

IVG is a UK-founded vape brand built on a reputation for quality flavours and a device range that covers everything from simple draw-activated disposables to high-capacity rechargeable pod kits and powerful direct-to-lung devices. The IVG range is one of the most varied available, with options for everyone, including new vapers and experienced users.

IVG devices

IVG Pro 12

Best for: Vapers who want a compact, mouth-to-lung device and the option to vape nicotine-free.

What is the IVG Pro 12?

The IVG Pro 12 is a refillable pod kit designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. It uses a built-in rechargeable battery and compatible refillable pods. It's one of the few devices in the IVG range available in zero nicotine, making it a good option for those reducing their nicotine intake.

How does it work?

Fill the pod with your chosen IVG Pro 12 e-liquid, insert it into the device, and draw from the mouthpiece. No buttons required. The Pro 12 is draw-activated, so it fires automatically when you inhale.

Puff count and nicotine

  • Puff count will vary depending on e-liquid usage and draw length.
  • Available in 0mg (zero nicotine) as well as standard nicotine strengths.
  • Works best with nic salt or 50/50 e-liquids.

How to refill the IVG Pro 12

Open the fill port on the pod, add your chosen e-liquid, replace the seal, and allow a few minutes for the coil to prime before vaping.

Is it rechargeable?

Yes. The IVG Pro 12 has a built-in battery charged via USB-C.

IVG XL 35K

Best for: Experienced vapers who want high puff counts, adjustable output, and a long-lasting rechargeable device.

What is the IVG XL 35K?

The IVG XL 35K is a high-capacity, rechargeable vape device offering up to 35,000 puffs. It sits at the top end of IVG's disposable-style range, combining the ease of a pre-filled device with the longevity of a rechargeable kit. The large puff count makes it one of IVG's most cost-effective options over time.

How does it work?

The IVG XL 35K is draw-activated and uses a pre-filled e-liquid reservoir. When the liquid runs out, you recharge and continue or replace the pod/cartridge depending on the model configuration.

Puff count and nicotine

  • Up to 35,000 puffs per device (depending on usage).
  • Available in 20mg nicotine salt.
  • MTL vaping style.

Is it rechargeable?

Yes. The IVG XL 35K is rechargeable via USB-C. It is not refillable with third-party e-liquid.

IVG DTL 35K

Best for: Cloud chasers and experienced vapers who prefer direct-to-lung inhale and big vapour production.

What is the IVG DTL 35K?

The IVG DTL 35K is the direct-to-lung (DTL) version of IVG's high-capacity range. 

Where the XL 35K is built for MTL vaping, the DTL 35K is optimised for vapers who take a deep, direct inhale. The result is larger clouds and a more intense flavour hit.

How does it work?

The IVG DTL 35K is draw-activated like most IVG devices. The wider airflow and lower-resistance coil deliver the open, airy draw that DTL vapers prefer. The device comes pre-filled and is rechargeable.

Puff count and nicotine

  • Up to 35,000 puffs (depending on usage).
  • Lower nicotine strengths than MTL devices. DTL vaping is typically used with 0mg to 10mg e-liquids, as the higher vapour volume makes stronger nicotine levels uncomfortable for most users.

Is it rechargeable?

Yes. Charged via USB-C. Not refillable with third-party e-liquid.

IVG Smart Max

Best for: Vapers who want a smart, mid-range rechargeable device with a good puff count and simple operation.

What is the IVG Smart Max?

The IVG Smart Max is a rechargeable, pre-filled pod device. It offers a reliable MTL experience with a respectable puff count and a clean, ergonomic design.

How does it work?

Insert the pre-filled pod, draw from the mouthpiece, and the device activates automatically. The Smart Max does not require any button operation. When the pod is empty, replace it with a new one.

Puff count and nicotine

  • Puff count varies by pod size (typically several thousand puffs per pod, depending on usage).
  • Available in 20mg nicotine salt.
  • Uses compatible IVG Smart Max refill pods.

Is it rechargeable?

Yes. The device body is rechargeable via USB-C. Pods are replaced, not refilled.

IVG Smart Max Pro

Best for: Vapers who want the Smart Max experience with enhanced output or extended battery life.

What is the IVG Smart Max Pro?

The IVG Smart Max Pro builds on the standard Smart Max, offering a larger battery capacity and higher puff count per pod. It suits vapers who find the Smart Max a good fit but want a device that lasts longer between charges.

How does it work?

The Smart Max Pro uses the same draw-activated operation as the Smart Max. Pre-filled pods snap into the device, and the device charges via USB-C.

Puff count and nicotine

  • Up to 10,000 puffs (depending on usage).
  • Available in 20mg nicotine salt.
  • Compatible with IVG Smart Max Pro pods.

Is it rechargeable?

IVG Reload Mini

Best for: Vapers who want a compact, refillable device and the freedom to choose their own e-liquid.

What is the IVG Reload Mini?

The IVG Reload Mini is a refillable pod kit designed for everyday use. It's smaller than most open-system devices, making it easy to carry. The "Reload" name reflects the refillable nature of the pods: fill, vape, and reload when empty.

How does it work?

Fill the pod with your chosen nic salt or 50/50 e-liquid, insert it into the device, and draw. The Reload Mini is draw-activated with no buttons to worry about.

Puff count and nicotine

IVG 6000

The IVG 6000 is a rechargeable prefilled vape device offering up to 6,000 puffs. Designed for simplicity and convenience, it comes prefilled with nicotine salt e-liquid and is inhale-activated for an easy MTL vaping experience.

  • Available in 20mg nicotine salt.
  • Pre-filled, with no manual e-liquid refilling required.

IVG Pro 2

Best for: Vapers who want a reliable, refillable pod kit with solid performance and flexibility over e-liquid choice.

What is the IVG Pro 2?

The IVG Pro 2 is a refillable pod kit and the second generation of IVG's Pro series. It offers a step up from entry-level devices with improved coil performance and a more refined vaping experience. It suits vapers who are comfortable with refilling pods and want more control over their setup.

How does it work?

Fill the pod with a compatible e-liquid (nic salt or 50/50), insert it into the device, and draw. The IVG Pro 2 is draw-activated. The Pro 2 supports coil replacement, meaning the pods themselves can be refilled multiple times before the coil needs changing.

  • Works best with 20mg nic salt or 50/50 e-liquids.
  • Compatible with IVG Pro 2 replacement coils.

IVG e-liquids: which works with which device?

IVG produces its own range of e-liquids designed to complement its device range. Here’s a guide to which devices are compatible with each type.

Refillable IVG devices

These include the IVG Pro 12, Reload Mini and IVG Pro 2. The open-system devices work with a wide range of e-liquids. The key is matching the liquid type to the device:

  • Nic salts (10mg or 20mg): Recommended for all three. Smooth on the throat and suited to MTL vaping.
  • 50/50 e-liquids: Compatible and a good option if you prefer freebase nicotine at lower strengths.

High-VG shortfills are not recommended. These thicker liquids can clog coils in smaller MTL pod devices and cause dry hits.

Pre-filled pod devices

These include the IVG Smart Max, Smart Max Pro, SAVR and Air devices, which use manufacturer-pre-filled pods only. You cannot use third-party e-liquid in the pods.

Sealed rechargeable disposables

Such as the IVG 2400, 6000, XL 35K and the IVG DTL 35K. These devices come pre-filled and are not designed to be refilled. The e-liquid used is sealed at manufacture. When it runs out, the device (or pod/cartridge) is finished.

IVG e-liquid flavours

IVG is well known for its flavour range, spanning fruit, menthol, dessert, and tobacco options. Popular options include watermelon ice, blue razz lemonade, menthol, and strawberry kiwi, though the full selection varies by device. Check individual product listings for the flavours available per device.

How to choose an IVG vape

With so many options, it helps to know what you're looking for before you buy. Here are the key things to think about:

  1. Are you new to vaping? If yes, then start simple. The IVG SAVR or IVG 2400 require zero setup and are ideal for those switching from cigarettes.
  2. Do you want to refill your own e-liquid? Refillable devices like the IVG Pro 2 or IVG Reload Mini give you full control over your e-liquid choice and are more cost-effective in the long run.
  3. How long do you need between charges or replacements? The IVG XL 35K and IVG DTL 35K offer the highest puff counts, while the IVG 6000 is a strong mid-range option.
  4. What inhale style do you prefer? MTL devices (IVG Smart Max, IVG SAVR, IVG Air) replicate the feel of a cigarette. The IVG DTL 35K is for open, airy draws and bigger clouds. Learn more about MTL vs DTL vaping to help you choose.
  5. Do you want zero nicotine? The IVG Pro 12 is available in 0mg. Check individual listings for other nicotine-free options.
  6. How important is flavour variety? The IVG 2400 gives you four flavours in one device. Whereas pre-filled pod kits let you swap pods by flavour each time.
  7. What's your budget? Sealed rechargeable disposables (IVG 2400, IVG 6000) have a lower upfront cost. Refillable kits like the Pro 2 cost more initially but less over time.
