Ultimate Guide to IVG Vapes

IVG, short for I Vape Great, has become one of the most recognisable names in UK vaping. What began as an award-winning e-liquid brand has grown into a complete vaping ecosystem that now includes rechargeable pod kits, big puff devices and bottled liquids.

For many adult vapers, the brand became even more important after the UK disposable vape ban in 2025. When single-use vapes disappeared from shelves, millions of people were left looking for an alternative that still delivered the same flavour intensity and nicotine satisfaction they had become used to.

IVG responded quickly by expanding its range of rechargeable prefilled pod devices. Instead of moving users into complicated refillable kits straight away, the company focused on developing devices that kept the same simplicity disposables were known for. The difference was that these new systems used rechargeable batteries and replaceable pods.

Today IVG sits at the centre of the rechargeable pod movement in the UK, offering devices designed for beginners, everyday vapers and those moving away from disposables. In this guide we will look at how IVG pod kits work, the devices available, and why the brand has become such a trusted option among UK vapers.

What Are IVG Prefilled Vapes?

Most IVG devices fall into the category of prefilled pod vape kits. These systems use small pods that already contain e-liquid and a built-in coil. Instead of manually filling a tank or replacing individual coils, you simply swap the pod when it runs out.

A typical IVG pod system consists of three simple parts:

• Battery device: a rechargeable battery that powers the vape
• Pod: prefilled with nicotine salt e-liquid and containing the coil
• Refill container: used in higher capacity devices to automatically feed liquid into the pod

The experience is designed to be as straightforward as possible. Most IVG devices use inhale activation, meaning the device fires automatically when you draw on the mouthpiece.

For beginners, this makes the transition from disposables very smooth. There are no complicated settings to understand and no messy refilling required. When the pod eventually runs out of liquid, you simply replace it with a fresh one and continue vaping.

Why IVG Became So Popular After the Disposable Vape Ban

When disposable vapes were removed from the UK market in 2025, many adult vapers were unsure what to switch to.

The biggest concerns were simple.

Would rechargeable vapes feel the same?

Would the flavour still be strong?

Would the devices be complicated to use?

IVG focused on answering those concerns directly. Rather than introducing overly technical devices, they built pod systems that kept the elements people already valued most.

Most IVG devices offer:

• Smooth 20mg nicotine salt delivery
• Recognisable IVG flavour profiles
• Inhale activation with no learning curve
• Prefilled pods that require no manual refilling

Devices such as the IVG SAVR, IVG Pro, Smart Max and XL 35K were developed specifically as alternatives to disposable vapes. That familiarity mattered. For many users the experience stayed close to what they were used to, just with rechargeable batteries and better long-term value.

Since the disposable ban came into effect, millions of IVG big puff devices and IVG pod refills have been picked up by UK vapers.

A Look at the IVG Prefilled Vape Range

One of IVG’s biggest strengths is that the brand offers multiple device styles depending on how often you vape. Some people prefer something compact and simple, while others want a device that lasts much longer between pod changes. Below are some of the most popular IVG pod systems available at UK Vape Supply.

IVG SAVR - A Simple Upgrade from Disposable Vapes

The IVG SAVR is often chosen by people moving away from smaller disposable vapes. It keeps the same compact design but introduces a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods.

With up to 3000 puffs, the SAVR lasts noticeably longer than a traditional disposable while still feeling familiar in use. The inhale activation means there are no buttons to learn, and the sealed pod system avoids the need for refilling or coil changes.

For many vapers this device bridges the gap between single-use disposables and rechargeable pod kits.

Key highlights include:

• Rechargeable USB-C battery
• Inhale activation
• Prefilled sealed pods
• Compact and pocket-friendly design

For users who previously relied on 600-puff disposables, the SAVR offers a longer-lasting but still straightforward experience.

IVG Pro - High Puff Capacity with Simple Operation

The IVG Pro 12 moves into the big puff category. Designed for regular users, it offers up to 10,000 puffs while keeping the same straightforward operation IVG devices are known for.

A larger internal battery allows longer sessions between charges, while the sealed refill system feeds e-liquid gradually into the pod. This helps maintain consistent flavour while reducing the need for frequent pod replacements. Despite the increased capacity, the device still focuses on simplicity. Most users will find it works almost exactly like a disposable vape, just with the added benefit of being rechargeable.

Key features include:

• Up to 10,000 puffs
• Rechargeable 1000mAh battery
• Mesh coil pods for strong flavour
• Inhale activation with no complicated settings

For everyday vapers, the IVG Pro offers a practical balance between convenience and longevity.

IVG Smart Max - More Control Without Overcomplicating the Device

The IVG Smart Max is another high-capacity device delivering up to 10,000 puffs, but with the addition of adjustable performance modes. Users can switch between two operating styles depending on their preference.

Eco Mode prioritises battery efficiency and extends overall device life.

Boost Mode increases power output, producing stronger flavour and slightly larger vapour clouds.

This flexibility makes the Smart Max appealing to users who want a little more control without moving into complicated refillable systems.

Key features include:

• Up to 10,000 puffs
• Rechargeable battery
• Eco and Boost performance modes
• Mesh coil technology for improved flavour consistency

For vapers who want long usage with the option to adjust performance, the Smart Max offers a strong middle ground.

IVG XL 35K - Maximum Capacity for Heavy Vapers

At the top end of the range sits the IVG XL 35K Prefilled Pod Kit, designed for vapers who want maximum puff count, strong flavour and disposable-style simplicity in a reusable device. The XL 35K delivers up to 35,000 puffs (approx.), making it one of the highest-capacity IVG pod systems currently available.

The device uses a 2ml TPD-compliant prefilled pod paired with two 10ml auto-refill tanks, providing a total e-liquid capacity of 22ml. This refill system continuously feeds liquid into the pod, helping maintain steady flavour and vapour throughout the life of the device.

The XL 35K also includes a smart screen display showing battery percentage and puff count, making it easy to monitor usage.

Users can switch between two performance modes.

Eco Mode improves battery efficiency and helps extend overall device life.

Boost Mode increases power output to deliver stronger flavour and larger vapour production.

For heavier vapers or those who want the longest possible lifespan from a pod system, the XL 35K offers one of the most capable options in the IVG lineup.

How IVG Prefilled Vapes Work

If you are new to vaping, IVG vapes are designed to keep the experience straightforward.

The system works by heating nicotine salt e-liquid inside the IVG pod using a mesh coil. When you inhale through the mouthpiece, the coil activates and turns the liquid into vapour. Mesh coil technology is important here. Instead of heating a single small point, mesh coils spread heat evenly across the coil surface. This helps produce stronger flavour while reducing the risk of burnt hits.

For the user, the process stays extremely simple.

• Insert the pod or refill container
• Charge the device when needed
• Inhale to activate the vape

There are no complicated menus, no coil replacements and no messy refilling to deal with. When the pod eventually runs out, you simply replace it with a new one.

Which IVG Vape Is Right for You?

Choosing the right IVG prefilled kit usually comes down to how often you vape and how long you want the device to last between replacements.

For Users Switching from Disposables

The IVG SAVR is often the easiest starting point. Its compact design and inhale activation feel very similar to traditional disposable vapes, making the transition into rechargeable devices much easier.

For Regular Daily Vapers

Devices like the IVG Pro or Smart Max are better suited to users who vape throughout the day. Their higher puff counts and larger batteries mean fewer interruptions and less frequent pod replacements.

For Maximum Longevity

For users who want the longest lifespan possible, the IVG XL 35K offers the highest capacity in the range. Its refill tank system significantly extends the overall usage time while still maintaining the simplicity of a prefilled pod device.

Why IVG Flavours Remain So Popular

Flavour is where IVG originally built its reputation. Long before big puff devices became common, IVG was already known for producing layered fruit blends that balanced sweetness, citrus sharpness and cooling notes.

One of the brand’s biggest strengths is flavour consistency across formats. If you enjoy a flavour in an IVG pod kit, you will often find a similar profile available in bottled liquids as well. This familiarity helps users transition between device types without feeling like they are starting from scratch.

IVG: Designed for Everyday Reliability

IVG devices are built around predictable everyday performance. The sealed pod systems remove many of the problems associated with refillable devices.

There are:

• No loose bottles of e-liquid
• No coil replacements
• Far less chance of leaking

Mesh coil designs help maintain steady flavour for longer and charging has also improved across the range, with most IVG devices now using USB-C connections for faster and more reliable charging.
