IVG Pro Prefilled Kit Review (Plus New Flavours!)

You may have believed that the UK’s upcoming ban on disposable vapes this summer would result in you seeing fewer palm-sized rainbow-hued plastic kits around. However, the truth is you’re going to see MORE of them — more advanced and flavoursome than ever, with charge ports ensuring the ‘disposable’ mantle is shrugged off like an out-of-fashion shawl.

Several brands are already pivoting to “disposable alternatives.” One device leading this charge is the IVG Pro. I’ve been using the Pro all week to see if IVG finally cracked the post-disposable design puzzle.

Packaging and Labels 

The IVG PRO comes in a tall rectangular cardboard box. 

• The front shows an image of the kit within, next to the IVG logo and above the flavour of the e-liquid contained in the kit. Below is a TPD-compliant health warning.
• One side of the box very helpfully illustrates how to put the kit together out of the box, with colour diagrams and a QR code for anyone who wants online instructions.
• The other side of the box lists features like 20mg strength, a 1000mAh battery and “Up to 10k Puffs!” There is also an authenticity sticker.
• The back of the box lists ingredients, health warnings, technical specifications, and contents. Beneath all of this is another TPD health warning.

We open the box and find three sealed components and a folded instruction pamphlet. The sealed elements are the device itself, a 10ml prefilled e-liquid bottle, and a prefilled 2ml pod to which the bottle will attach.

There is a sticker to remove from the base of the device that covers the airflow ports, as well as a sticker on the pod base and rubber stoppers on the pod and e-liquid bottle. These can all be removed and disposed of as you assemble the kit.

Build Quality

Score: 5 out of 5

Are you surprised that a budget simple-use kit gets a perfect build score? Let me break that down for you, dear reader. 

The IVG PRO is a basic bit of kit, certainly. But in terms of reliable construction, considering the job it’s intended for? You couldn’t ask for better.

The build is almost entirely plastic, except for the hidden guts and metal connection points in the device and on the pod. The plastic used is much nicer than the kind ordinarily found in disposable vapes, with no ‘creakiness’ when squeezed.

In fact, I had to chase up IVG about what materials were used in the device because I was 50/50 on whether it was high-quality acrylic or a very low-weight zinc alloy.

I found it has lovely gripping dimensions, fitting very comfortably in my palm, fist, and pocket. Admittedly, it’s a little bulkier than some vape kits, but it won’t blow out your pockets like a sub-ohm kit might.

The device features a small LED battery indicator on the front that gradually works down from 100% to 0%. Of course, it also has a USB-C charging port to help you get your 1000mAh battery back on its feet.

The flat base means it can be stood up when not in use. That might sound odd, but that was a big thing I disliked about the Voopoo Argus Bar Prime! I like a vertical vape. Sue me.

The pod and bottle design is very clever but easy to figure out, particularly with the helpful illustrations on the box. 

How to set it up, you ask?

Remove the stickers and stoppers, push them together until they click, and drop the now-connected bottle and pod into the device. Bam. Done. Finito. You’re ready to puff.

While you can toss it away, I held onto my rubber mouthpiece stopper, which gave me some peace of mind when the kit rattled around in my linty backpack.

Performance

Score: 4 out of 5

The kit performs its job very well. As seen in the build quality segment, the IVG PRO is a buttonless device that relies entirely on draw activation to be fired.

I didn’t notice any delay between drawing from the pod and atomisation beginning, so the device’s air-detection technology is exact and sensitive.

I’ve taken a single point off the performance rating because I’m frustrated by the lack of airflow adjustment. It would have been so easy to whack a slider on there somewhere. Also, similar kits include an Eco mode.

IVG PRO does its job brilliantly; however, they could have included a couple more features to perfect the project.

Ease of Use

Score: 5 out of 5

If you have two hands and can see images well, then you’re more than capable of assembling the IVG PRO. While at a distance, certain aspects of the initial assembly might seem a bit technical-looking, it’s much easier than it looks.

The very helpful illustrations on the box show how to put the kit together. It’s as easy as lining up the edges on the pod and bottle and pushing until there’s a click. At that point, you just drop it into the device, and that’s it—ready to vape.

There is no maintenance to speak of, and you need not keep an eye on anything besides battery levels and e-liquid contents, both of which can be accurately gauged with a quick glance.

So, I give it full marks for ease of use because I just don’t see how you could possibly use it incorrectly!

Battery Life

Score: 4.5 out of 5

The kit contains a 1000mAh battery. We’re in a fascinating little slice of time where that’s both impressive (compared to a disposable) and a bit low (compared to most refillable kits of similar size).

So, on paper? Eh. Actual use-case? It’s fine! Great, even!

The device doesn’t fire at high outputs, so the battery charge tends to last quite a long time. The LED screen shows the battery depleting in real-time, and it takes quite a long time to drain the battery halfway.

Once you do, USB-C charging will quickly get your device back on its feet. So, while, as mentioned above, I think an Eco mode would have been welcome, it’s still a great battery cell with quick charging.

Flavour Output

Score: 5 out of 5

IVG dipped into their flavour trove for these juices! I’ve been fond of I Vape Great’s e-liquids for a while now, and the 15 IVG PRO flavours remind me a lot of the IVG 6000 and IVG Bar Favourites lines of nic salts.

Now, remember these are VERY SWEET flavours, with strong fruity and sugary profiles, and what tastes like a certain degree of extra sweetener added. Most vapers are likely to enjoy them, but if you’re in subtle or peculiar flavours, look elsewhere because the IVG line is a selection of popular fan favourites.

My personal favourite flavour from the IVG PRO range is Lemon Lime. IVG have always handled citrus flavours very well, and this take on the classic sour duo was unique. The lemon has a rare sweetness to it, which is elevated by the tart rind and juice of the verdant limes. Exotic, familiar, refreshing and moreish!

The other flavours in the range are as follows:

• Fizzy Cherry: A tangy blend of cherry juice and chewy candy
• Blue Raspberry Ice: A sour berry shock with a cooling note of ice 
• Classic Menthol: Pure and simple cool arctic blasts of botanical menthol
• Pineapple Ice: Tangy paradise fruit with a frosty backnote
• Strawberry Raspberry Cherry: A trio of juicy red berries and pitted fruits
• Red Sour Raspberry: The a zesty raspberry blend with an extra note of sour fruit
• Strawberry Watermelon: Luscious tropical melon meets sweet summer strawberries
• Strawberry Ice: Juicy berry sweetness with an edge of frost
• Double Mango: Pure mango delight with no distractions
• Pink Lemonade: Sparkling citrus beverage with a tart berry note
• Kiwi Passionfruit Guava: A trio of moreish and exotic tropical fruits
• Fresh Mojito: Sugar, lime and mint meet in this refreshing cocktail puff
• Fizzy Strawberry: Sweet strawberries are given a hint of additional candy sugar

New Flavours

IVG reached out again and provided us with 15 new flavours to try. The new flavours in the IVG Pro are as follows, with some personal notes about each (And yes, there are now 30 flavours for the IVG PRO!):

1. Blue Razz Retro – A classic blue raspberry flavour with a note of traditional pick & mix candies.
2. Fizzy Orange – A rich and powerful orange citrus flavour with a gassy note of fizzy, carbonated beverage. Absolutely delicious and very unique, IVG know their naranjas!
3. Green Fruits – An apple, lime and grape mix with deep and powerful hits of flavour, surprisingly not too sweet.
4. Strawberry Kiwi – A juicy red and green fruit combo, though somewhat indistinct.
5. Peach Ice – Subtle and sumptuous fuzzy peach juice with a cooling edge.
6. Blueberry Mint – A gentle breeze of berry sweetness with a herbal note of cooling mint.
7. Grape Ice – A perfumed blast of luscious fruity flavour with a cool note.
8. Raspberry Blast – An airy and sweet kick of sugary raspberries, not too sour.
9. Cherry Ice – A cherry-drop style sweet puff, with a note of some botanicals.
10. Tobacco – A roasted and nutty relaxation puff.
11. Fresh Mint – A frosty and botanical mint punch without much sweetness at all.
12. Mixed Berry – An extremely perfumed and indistinct berry collection.
13. Double Apple – A rich and punchy apple pairing, with a very clear, authentic flavour.
14. Sour Cherry Watermelon – Tart cherries meet paradise melon in a bizarre but gorgeous union.
15. Banana Ice – A sweet and creamy ‘ice cream’ like flavour.

Like the previous batch of pods, these new IVG flavours arrive in sealed plastic containers that are ‘clicked’ together. When dropped into a Click 10K Kit device, they can be vaped immediately with auto-draw.

Here are our favourites from the new flavours:

Fizzy Orange

Score: 5 out of 5

This is incredible, INCREDIBLE I tell you. The orange flavour is tangy and robust and, best of all, very natural tasting. The citrus acidity really sings through the sugar, and the effervescent carbonated aspect transforms it into an incredible, nostalgic summery treat.

Banana Ice

Score: 4.8 out of 5

Now that’s a lovely treat! The Banana Ice pod is packed full of delicious, creamy, sweet and cool flavour. It’s honestly closer to an ice cream or chilled milkshake flavour than it is simple fruit. While the idea of a ‘frosted banana’ might seem odd to some, give it a puff and you’ll quickly understand the creamy potential of banana!

Blue Razz Retro

Score: 4.6 out of 5

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve grown tired of blue raspberry flavours lately. There’s not enough variety. At least, that’s what I thought before I tried Blue Razz Retro, which includes an unmistakable pick&mix chewy candy note to revitalise the flavour better than ever before!

Tobacco

Score: 4.5 out of 5

Big surprise here! I’m used to IVG serving up fruity and candy flavours, so Tobacco had me a little on edge. Boy howdy was I wrong, and I’m pleased to be! It’s a velvety, nutty sojourn in a West Virginia field on a shaded summer’s afternoon. Relaxing, moreish and flavoursome in all the right ways.

Blueberry Mint

Score: 4.3 out of 5

Another surprise for me! The surprise this time is that I often find blueberry a little ‘meh’ as a vape flavour. My issue, no one else’s, but it’s just a bit too subtle for me to enjoy normally. Well, Blueberry Mint uses a hint of herbal menthol to enhance its fruity flavour. Against a backdrop of cooling, unsweetened mint, I *finally* managed to enjoy blueberry for what it was. So this changed my whole perspective on blueberry juice!

Double Apple

Score: 4.2 out of 5

Once again, IVG really pull out the stops in terms of delivering an authentic fruit flavour. We’ve all tried synthetic apple flavours before, in vape juices, candy, and so on. But this pod really does capture that popular shisha apple molasses flavour, with a delightful profile that stays pleasantly on the lips.

Summary

The IVG PRO kit is a very impressive next-generation vape set up. It offers all the ease of a disposable and all the value and longevity of a rechargeable vape. It’s got a brilliant selection of flavours, though they’re only available in 20mg.

Fans of disposables will enjoy that strength, though others who are trying to reduce their nicotine intake may wish to look into slightly less powerful prefilled vape kits.

The MIST Favourite Feature: 

Setup Is Easy: Snap the parts together, drop in the pod, and you’re ready to go! There are no buttons, screens, or settings to worry about—just puff and away!
