IVG Pro 12 refill pods are the replacement packs that keep a rechargeable IVG Pro 12 vape running. Each pack is a 2ml prefilled pod plus a 10ml refill container, holding 12ml of 20mg nic salt in total, and IVG rates it at up to 10,000 puffs.

This guide is for people who already own the device, or have just bought one, and want to get the most out of the pods. We cover what is really in the pack, which kits it fits, how to swap it, what each puff costs now the 2026 vape duty is live, and how to sort out the faults we hear about most.

If you are still choosing the device itself, read our IVG Pro 12 prefilled pod kit review first. This page picks up where that one stops: life after the first pod runs out.

Everything here is for adults aged 18 and over. IVG Pro 12 pods contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance.

What an IVG Pro 12 refill pod pack contains

A single pack holds two pieces that connect, and both are full when they arrive. That is the bit most people miss when they first search for Pro 12 refills, because the box looks like it holds one pod.

• A 2ml prefilled pod. You vape from this end. It carries 2ml of e-liquid, and inside it sits a mesh coil. A coil is the small heating part that turns liquid into vapour, and mesh is a flat, wide style of coil that heats evenly.
  
  
• A 10ml refill container. It joins onto the base of the pod and keeps passing liquid across while you vape, so the pod is not finished after its own 2ml.
  
  
• 12ml of liquid altogether. One flavour per pack, and 20mg nic salt across our range.

There is no battery in the pack. The battery lives in the Pro 12 device, which you keep and recharge. The pack is the only part you replace, and you replace it whole: pod and container go in the bin or recycling together, and a fresh pair goes in.

Why split the liquid across two parts at all? UK rules cap a vape pod or tank at 2ml of nicotine liquid, and a refill container at 10ml. A 2ml pod paired with a 10ml container stays inside both limits while giving you far more vaping per pack than a 2ml pod could on its own.

Why IVG now sells the Pro 12 refill pods as PRO 10K pods

If you shop around, you will see the same pack under two names. IVG first sold it as the Pro 12 refill, and its own shop now calls it the PRO 10K prefilled pod. The pod, the container and the 12ml of liquid have not changed.

The two numbers point at different things, which is where the mix-up comes from:

• 12 matches the total liquid in the pack: 2ml in the pod plus 10ml in the container.
  
  
• 10K matches the rated puff count: up to 10,000 puffs per pack.

So a Pro 12 pod and a PRO 10K pod are one and the same. When we talk about Pro 12 refill pods on this page, the PRO 10K packs are included. Our own listing still uses the Pro 12 name, because that is what most of you type into Google.

Which kits take IVG Pro 12 pods

These packs are made for the IVG Pro 12 prefilled pod kit, and that is the device we sell them for. IVG also lists them as a fit for its PRO 2 device.

Here is the short version of what fits and what does not:

• IVG Pro 12 (also called IVG PRO): fits. This is the home device for these pods.
  
  
• IVG PRO 2: fits, according to IVG's own compatibility list.
  
  
• IVG Smart Max: does not fit. It uses its own pods.
  
  
• IVG 2400: does not fit. It is a different pod system.
  
  
• Any other brand: does not fit. Pod shapes and contacts differ from brand to brand.

IVG Pro 12 pods and the IVG PRO 2

IVG's model names do not always line up with its pod names, so it pays to check. IVG says its PRO pod packs suit the original PRO as well as the PRO 2. If you own a PRO 2, look at the name printed on the device before ordering, and if it is anything other than PRO 2, ask us first.

IVG pods that will not fit the Pro 12

The IVG range has several pod families that look alike in photos. The Smart Max and 2400 pods are not made for the Pro 12 slot, and IVG lists the PRO packs as fitting only its PRO and PRO 2 devices. Buying the wrong family is an easy mistake with IVG spares, and an opened pod cannot be returned, so a quick check saves you money.

How the 2ml pod and 10ml container work together

The container is a small reservoir that keeps the pod topped up. You push the pod onto the container until it clicks, the liquid starts to move into the pod, and then the pair sits in the device as one unit. You never pour anything.

Seeing it as two parts explains a few things owners notice:

• The first puff can be weak. A brand new pod needs a minute or two for the coil to soak up liquid after you click it on.
  
  
• Flavour stays steady for a long time. Because the container keeps feeding the pod, the coil is not left half dry as the level drops.
  
  
• The pack ends quite suddenly. Once the container is empty, the pod only has its own 2ml left, so the last stretch goes faster than you might expect.

None of this needs any action from you beyond fitting the pack properly. The main thing is that the click is a real click. A pod that is only half seated will not draw liquid from the container.

Swapping an IVG Pro 12 refill pod step by step

A full swap takes less than a minute. Do it over a table rather than standing up, in case you drop the small pod.

1. Slide the old pack out of the Pro 12 device. Pod and container come out together.
   
   
2. Unwrap the fresh pod and its matching 10ml container.
   
   
3. Press the two together firmly until you hear or feel a click.
   
   
4. Slide them into the device as a pair, until the pack sits flush.
   
   
5. Give the coil a minute or two to take up liquid.
   
   
6. Draw slowly. The Pro 12 is draw activated, which means it fires when you inhale. There is no button.

If the device does not fire on the first draw, take the pack out, wipe the metal contacts on the pack and inside the device with a dry tissue, and refit it. Dust or a drop of liquid on the contacts is the usual cause.

How many puffs IVG Pro 12 refill pods give in real use

The rating from IVG is up to 10,000 puffs a pack. That is a lab number, taken with short, even puffs, so most people get fewer in day to day use.

A few habits make the biggest difference to your own count:

• Puff length. A long, slow draw pulls more liquid through the coil than a short one.
  
  
• Chain vaping. Many puffs back to back keep the coil hot and burn through liquid faster.
  
  
• Sweet flavours. Very sweet liquids can coat a coil sooner, which can dull the taste before the pack is empty.
  
  
• Storage. A pack left in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill can thin out and leak a little.

To plan your spending, it helps to turn the rating into days. Here is a simple worked example using IVG's figure. If you take about 200 puffs a day, 10,000 puffs would last around 50 days. At 300 a day it is about 33 days, and at 500 a day it is about 20 days. Treat those as best case.

Signs an IVG Pro 12 pack is nearly empty

Pro 12 packs tend to give you some warning before they stop. Watch for these signs, and keep a spare pack ready once you see them:

• The container looks empty. Hold the pack up to the light. If the 10ml container is clear, you are down to the 2ml in the pod.
  
  
• Thinner vapour. Each draw gives less vapour, even after a short rest.
  
  
• A dry or burnt note. The coil is not getting enough liquid, or it is worn out.
  
  
• Weaker flavour. The taste fades even though the pack still has some liquid in it.

A good rule: if the taste turns flat or slightly burnt and a soak does not help, the coil is done, even if there is liquid left. Swap the pack.

The cost per puff of IVG Pro 12 refill pods

At our current price of £7.49 a pack, a Pro 12 pack costs about 62p per ml of e-liquid and about 75p per 1,000 rated puffs. The table below shows how we worked that out, so you can redo it with your own numbers.

Your own cost per puff will be higher than the rated figure if you take long draws or swap packs early. A fair way to check is to note the date you fit a pack and the date you replace it, then divide £7.49 by the number of days. That gives you a real daily cost to compare against anything else you are thinking of trying.

The cost of the device is separate. You buy the Pro 12 once and recharge it. From then on, the packs are your only regular spend.

Pro 12 pod packs or a refillable pod kit: which costs less per ml

On liquid alone, a refillable pod kit costs less per ml than Pro 12 pod packs. The trade off is more upkeep, because you fill the pod yourself and change the pod or coil every so often.

Here is a fair comparison using our own prices at the time of writing. Our IVG 10ml nic salts are £3.25 a bottle at 20mg, the same strength as our Pro 12 packs, which is about 33p per ml. A Pro 12 pack is about 62p per ml. The same duty of 22p per ml applies to both.

That gap does not tell the whole story, so weigh up these points too:

• Spare pods and coils. A refillable kit still needs a new pod or coil from time to time, which adds to the cost per ml.
  
  
• Time and mess. Pro 12 packs take under a minute to swap, with nothing to pour.
  
  
• Choice of strength. A refillable kit takes any nic salt strength, including 10mg and 5mg, while our Pro 12 packs are 20mg.
  
  
• The kit price. If you already own a Pro 12, you have paid for the device. Switching means buying new hardware.

If you vape a lot and do not mind filling a pod, a refillable kit will usually work out cheaper over a year. If you value a quick, clean swap, Pro 12 packs keep things simple.

How Vaping Products Duty affects IVG Pro 12 refill prices

Since 1 October 2026, every vape liquid sold in the UK carries Vaping Products Duty at a flat £2.20 per 10ml. That works out at 22p per ml, whatever the nicotine strength.

For an IVG Pro 12 refill pack, the maths is simple:

• 12ml of liquid per pack.
  
  
• 12 times 22p comes to £2.64 a pack.
  
  
• The duty is the same for 20mg, 10mg and 0mg packs, because it is charged on volume, not nicotine.

Bigger packs carry more duty in pounds, but the duty per ml is the same across every product. So a 12ml pack is not taxed more harshly than a small pod. It simply holds more liquid. If you compare prices across different pod packs, comparing price per ml is the fairest test, because the duty part is fixed at 22p for every one of them.

Duty stamps on IVG Pro 12 refill packs from April 2027

HMRC's Vaping Duty Stamps scheme runs alongside the duty. Products packed for retail sale from 1 October 2026 must carry a duty stamp. From 1 April 2027, it becomes an offence to sell vaping products without one, whenever they were made.

For you, that means IVG Pro 12 packs will carry a stamp on the outer packaging. A pack with no stamp after April 2027 is a warning sign about where it came from.

The stamp is not the only thing to look for. A genuine UK pack also carries the standard nicotine warning, which reads that the product contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance, and covers 30 percent of the front and back of the box. It should also list the nicotine strength and the liquid volume. If any of those are missing, or the text is not in English, do not use the pack.

Choosing an IVG Pro 12 refill strength: 20mg and the 10mg question

The Pro 12 packs we stock are 20mg nic salt, in all 39 flavours. 20mg is the highest nicotine strength the UK allows in a vape liquid.

Nic salt is nicotine in a form that feels smoother at high strength than regular freebase nicotine. That is why it is the usual choice in bar style pods. People who vaped 20mg bars before tend to find a 20mg Pro 12 pack familiar.

We get asked a lot about 10mg. IVG produces Pro 12 packs at 10mg and at 0mg too, though not for every flavour. Before you go looking, it helps to think about why you want a lower strength:

• You find 20mg too harsh. Try shorter, gentler draws first. Long, hard pulls on a 20mg pod feel much stronger than short ones.
  
  
• You want to vape more often at a lower strength. A refillable pod kit lets you choose the exact strength of e-liquid you pour in, so you are not tied to one pod range.
  
  
• You want nicotine free. That is a different product. Look for packs clearly labelled 0mg, and remember a nicotine free pack still carries the same duty per ml.

Whatever strength you choose, nicotine is addictive. Vaping is for adults who already smoke or vape, not for anyone who does neither.

IVG Pro 12 refill pod flavours sorted by taste family

We list 39 flavours on our IVG Pro 12 replacement pods page. Grouping them by taste makes it easier to find a new one you will like, based on one you already know.

Ice, menthol and mint IVG Pro 12 pods

This is the biggest group in our range. Eight packs pair a fruit with a cold finish, among them Banana Ice, Grape Ice and Peach Ice. Three lean on menthol: Classic Menthol, Fresh Menthol Mojito and Cola Frost. Three more are mint led, with Spearmint the plainest of them.

• Want cold with no fruit? Start with Classic Menthol or Spearmint.
  
  
• Want fruit with a cool edge? Any flavour with Ice in its name.
  
  
• Want something between the two? Blueberry Mint mixes both.

Sour and fizzy IVG Pro 12 pods

Eight flavours sit at the sharper end. Three are sour, such as Red Sour Raspberry and Sour Cherry Watermelon, and five are fizzy or citrus, such as Fizzy Orange and Pink Lemonade. If very sweet liquids start to tire your taste by the end of a pack, one of these is worth a go for the next one.

Berry, tropical and tobacco IVG Pro 12 pods

Nine packs are berry mixes, from Mixed Berry to Strawberry Watermelon. Seven more are tropical or orchard fruit, including Double Mango and Kiwi Passionfruit Guava. For a plain, non fruit choice there is Tobacco, the only one of its kind in the range.

Changing flavour never changes the hardware. Each one ships as the same two part pack at 20mg, so a new flavour will fit and fire just like your last. A tip from the counter: if you rotate between two flavours, keep the spare sealed until you need it. Liquid keeps best before the pod is clicked onto its container.

Why IVG Pro 12 pods are not made to be refilled by hand

IVG Pro 12 pods are not designed for hand refilling. Each pack is sealed at the factory, and topping up the pod is the 10ml container's job, not yours. There is no fill port for a bottle.

People sometimes try anyway, so here is why we advise against it:

• The seals are not built to be opened. Prising a pod or container apart usually breaks the seal, and a broken seal leaks.
  
  
• The coil is part of the pod. Even with fresh liquid, a worn coil still tastes burnt. Refilling does not give you a new coil.
  
  
• Leaks can reach the battery. Liquid on the contacts or inside the device can stop it firing or charging.

This sealed, swappable design is also what keeps the Pro 12 legal. Under the single-use vapes regulations that came into force in England on 1 June 2025, a vape must be rechargeable and must take a container or pod that you can buy separately. The Pro 12 does both: the device recharges, and these refill packs are sold on their own. That is the line between a legal pod kit and the old single-use disposable vapes that are now banned.

If you would rather fill your own vape, a refillable pod kit is the right tool for that job. We cover how the costs compare in the section on refillable kits above.

Fixing common IVG Pro 12 refill pod faults

Most problems with Pro 12 pods come down to fit, contacts or a tired coil. Work through the checks below before you assume a pack is faulty.

IVG Pro 12 pod tastes burnt

A burnt taste on a new pack usually means the coil did not soak before your first puff. On an older pack, it means the coil is worn out.

• New pack: take it out, check the pod is clicked fully onto the container, refit it and wait five minutes before vaping.
  
  
• Old pack: if a rest does not help, the coil has reached the end of its life. Fit a fresh pack.
  
  
• Either way, slow down. Long, hard draws heat the coil faster than it can soak.

IVG Pro 12 not firing with a new pod

If nothing happens when you draw, the device is not reading the pack. Check these in order:

1. Remove the pack and refit it until it sits flush.
   
   
2. Wipe the metal contacts on the pack and inside the device with a dry tissue.
   
   
3. Charge the device. A flat battery will not fire, whatever the pod.
   
   
4. Try a gentler draw. Draw activated devices can miss a very sharp pull.

IVG Pro 12 pod leaking or gurgling

A little liquid in the mouthpiece is normal after a lot of short puffs. Real leaks tend to have a cause you can fix:

• The pod is not fully clicked onto the container, so liquid escapes at the join.
  
  
• The pack was stored somewhere hot, which thins the liquid.
  
  
• The pack was dropped and a seal cracked. In that case, replace it.

To clear gurgling, take the pack out, wrap a tissue round the mouthpiece end and give it a couple of firm flicks downwards.

IVG Pro 12 device not charging

The Pro 12 charges through a USB-C port and has a 1000mAh battery. If it will not charge, try a different USB-C cable and plug, and check the port is free of fluff. If liquid has got into the port, let it dry fully before you plug it in again.

IVG Pro 12 flavour fading early

If the taste goes flat well before you expect, the coil has often been flooded with sweet liquid or overheated by chain vaping. Short breaks between puffs help. Some flavours, especially the sweetest berry and fizzy ones, simply wear a coil faster than mint or menthol.

Storing and recycling empty IVG Pro 12 pods

Store spare packs sealed, upright, and somewhere cool and dark. A kitchen cupboard is fine. A car glovebox in summer is not.

• Keep spare packs and your device out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is harmful if swallowed.
  
  
• Do not leave the device charging overnight or on soft furnishings.
  
  
• Empty pods contain a coil and leftover liquid, so they should not go in your household bin. Take them to a vape recycling point or your local recycling centre.
  
  
• The Pro 12 device contains a lithium battery. When you finally retire it, recycle it as an electrical item, not with general waste.

IVG Pro 12 refill pods questions answered

1. How many puffs do IVG Pro 12 refill pods give?
   IVG gives each refill pack a rating of up to 10,000 puffs, counting the 2ml pod and the 10ml container as one. Your own count depends on how long and how often you draw.
   
   
2. Can you refill IVG Pro 12 pods yourself?
   No. Both parts are sealed and filled at the factory, and the 10ml container keeps the pod supplied. Once the pack runs out, fit a fresh one.
   
   
3. Do IVG Pro 12 refill pods come in 10mg?
   IVG produces a 10mg version, though only for some flavours. Every IVG Pro 12 refill pod we stock is 20mg nic salt, across all 39 flavours.
   
   
4. Are IVG Pro 12 pods the same as IVG PRO 10K pods?
   Yes. PRO 10K is the newer name IVG uses for the Pro 12 pack. Inside the box you get an identical 2ml pod and 10ml container.
   
   
5. Do IVG Pro 12 refill pods fit the IVG PRO 2?
   IVG's compatibility list names the PRO and the PRO 2 as the two devices these packs suit. They do not fit the IVG Smart Max, the IVG 2400 or kits from other brands.
   
   
6. How much duty is in an IVG Pro 12 refill pack?
   Vaping Products Duty is charged at £2.20 per 10ml, or 22p for each ml. With 12ml inside, a pack includes £2.64 in duty.

We sell vaping products to adults aged 18 and over only. IVG Pro 12 pods contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance.
