IVG splits into two jobs it does well: crafted e-liquid and easy prefilled pod kits. On the hardware side, you get rechargeable devices that click a pod in and go, with no coil swaps or wattage settings to think about. On the liquid side, you get nic salts, freebase blends and larger 0mg shortfills for anyone running a refillable setup.
Since 2016, IVG has picked up a long list of industry awards and a reputation for consistent fruit, soda and dessert flavours. For a new vaper unsure which brand to trust, it is a sensible starting point. For an existing one, the appeal is simple: the recipes people liked in the old bars now live in rechargeable kits and bottles instead.
IVG big puff pod kits
When single-use disposables were pulled from UK sale, IVG rebuilt its bestsellers as rechargeable pod kits. The idea is the same grab-and-go feel, minus the throwaway battery. A small pod holds the liquid, the device holds the charge, and you replace only the pod when it runs dry.
The kits vary mainly by how long a pod lasts and how the liquid is stored. Here is the rough shape of the range so you can match it to your habits:
#table
Kit style: How it works: Best for
IVG 2400 4-in-1: Four 2ml pods in one device, rotate to switch flavour: Vapers who like variety and short top-ups
IVG Smart / Smart Max: A 2ml pod fed by a separate refill container: Middle-ground daily use with fewer pod changes
IVG Pro / Pro 12: A 2ml pod fed by a 10ml auto-refill container, with a digital display: People who want one flavour to last
IVG XL: A 2ml pod plus multiple refills for the longest run: Heavy vapers who hate swapping devices
Puff figures and the exact models in stock move around, so treat the tiers above as a guide and check each product page for its own numbers.
All of these devices charge over USB-C and use IVG's own pods rather than open bottles. If you want to compare across brands in the same format, the wider big puff pod kits collection sits alongside IVG.
IVG Vapes pods and refills
A pod kit is only as good as the pods behind it, and IVG's stay easy to match. Each kit has its own pod or refill that clicks straight in.
- Note your exact device name, for example IVG 2400, Smart Max or Pro.
- Pick the matching pod or refill pack in the flavour you want.
- Slide the spent pod out, click the new one in, and you are back to full flavour.
- Restock a couple ahead so you are never caught short mid-week.
One thing worth being clear on: IVG's prefilled pods are not meant to be topped up by hand. On the Pro and Smart systems, a 2ml pod is filled automatically from a sealed refill, and once that is used you fit a fresh pod rather than dripping liquid in yourself.
Doing it the intended way keeps the flavour clean and stops leaks. Browse the matching replacement pods to keep any IVG kit running.
IVG Vapes e-liquids and nic salts
Before the hardware, there was the juice. IVG's bottled range is where the brand earned its following, and it is still a strong pick for anyone on a refillable kit.
The nic salt line, sold as IVG Intense, comes in lower and higher strengths built for small, low-powered pod devices, where a salt gives a smoother throat feel and a quicker hit than freebase.
There are also 50-50 blends for MTL setups and larger high-VG shortfills for sub-ohm kits and bigger clouds. Those shortfills are supplied at 0mg, since any bottle over 10ml has to be nicotine-free by law, and you add a nic shot separately if you want strength.
Flavour-wise, you are in familiar IVG territory: bold berries, sharp citrus, fizzy sodas and sweet dessert notes, often with an ice finish. Start with the full nic salts range for pod-friendly options, or the wider e-liquids shelf if you are chasing a specific profile.
Which IVG Vapes setup is right for you?
A quick way to narrow it down without overthinking it:
- Coming off disposables and want zero fuss. A prefilled IVG pod kit is the closest match. Click, vape, replace the pod.
- Happy to do a little upkeep for lower running costs. A refillable kit paired with IVG Intense nic salts works out cheaper per ml over time.
- You get through a lot and hate recharging or restocking. Look to the longer-run kits that pair one pod with several refills.
- You like changing flavour often. The 4-in-1 style keeps several on the go in a single device.
None of these is objectively best. It comes down to how often you vape and how much fiddling you are willing to do.
Staying legal: IVG and UK vape rules
IVG's current line-up exists in the shape it does because of the rules, so it helps to know them. Single-use disposable vapes were banned from sale across the UK on 1 June 2025, whether or not they held nicotine.
A device that is legal to sell now needs a rechargeable battery, a refillable or replaceable liquid container, and a replaceable coil where one is used, with refills sold separately.
The measurements matter too. Nicotine pods and tanks are capped at 2ml, refill bottles at 10ml, and strength at 20mg per ml.
IVG's big puff kits stay inside those limits by feeding a small 2ml pod from a separate refill, which is how a kit can advertise thousands of puffs while each pod stays legal. Nicotine e-liquids are notified to the MHRA before they reach shelves, while 0mg shortfills sit outside that requirement.
Two honest lines to keep in mind: compliant is not the same as safe, and nicotine is addictive. If you have never vaped, these products are not aimed at you. Our new vaping guides are a better first stop than any product page.

If IVG is not quite the fit, these sit close by. Hayati vapes cover a similar big puff, flavour-led angle, while SKE vapes are another strong pick for simple prefilled kits. For money off across brands, the multi-buy vapes page bundles the current deals.
