IVG Pro 2 Review: Release Date, Specs and Pod Compatibility Explained

IVG Pro 2 Review: Release Date, Specs and Pod Compatibility Explained

The IVG Pro 2 is a rechargeable, prefilled nic salt pod kit from IVG. The draw is MTL, meaning it feels close to smoking or to using a disposable vape. This review covers when it launched, what the real specs are, and how it differs from the older IVG Pro. It also answers the question most buyers actually search for: which pods fit it. We sell the IVG Pro 2 at £10.99, with free UK delivery over £25.00. Every fact below is checked against the kit's own listing and against independent UK trade sources, not guessed.

 

IVG Pro 2 Review: Release Date, Specs and Pod Compatibility Explained


What the Pro 2 Prefilled Pod Kit Does

The Pro 2 is a two part device. A rechargeable battery sits at the bottom. A prefilled nic salt pod clicks into the top. You do not fill a tank by hand, and you do not build or prime a coil. Click a pod in, and the kit is ready to vape.

IVG built the Pro 2 for mouth to lung vaping. That is the slower, cigarette style pull most ex smokers and ex disposable vapers already know. It is not the deeper, lung hit draw used on sub ohm tanks and box mods. The device sits in the same part of IVG's range as the IVG Smart Max and the IVG Pro 12. All three are prefilled pod kits, each with its own separate pod. The Pro 2 is its own kit with its own pod, not a reissue of either one.

  • Rechargeable battery, so you keep the device rather than bin it after one pod

  • A prefilled pod, swapped once the flavour runs out

  • An MTL draw, matched to nic salt e-liquid

  • A screen on the front, which the older IVG Pro did not have

The battery is rechargeable, and the pod is a separate part you replace. So the Pro 2 is not a disposable vape. Single use vapes with a sealed battery, thrown away after one pod, have been illegal to sell in the UK since 1 June 2025. We cover that change, and why kits like this one replaced disposables, later in this guide.


Is the Pro 2 a New Vape Kit? Release Date and Stock

Yes. The Pro 2 is a newer kit, not a device that has been on sale for years. Trade press covering the UK vape market reported IVG launching the Pro 2 as the next step in its Pro series. It came with a full screen display and a 10,000 puff pod. No single, exact UK launch date is published anywhere we can check, so we are not going to invent one. What we can say plainly is this: stock of the Pro 2 reached general UK retailers, including us, within the past year. It is a current, in stock kit on our site now, not a discontinued or legacy one.

If you searched for an exact release date, here is the honest answer. IVG has not published one in a form we can check and stand behind. What matters more for a buying decision is simple: is the kit in stock and supported now? It is. You can see current stock and flavours on the IVG prefilled pod kits page at any time.


IVG Pro 2 vs IVG Pro 12: a Different Kit, Not an Upgrade

It is easy to assume "Pro 2" is just a newer version of the "Pro 12." Both names use a number, and both are IVG prefilled pod kits. They are not the same line, though. The Pro 12 is its own kit with its own pod, sold separately on our site. The Pro 2 is a separate kit with a separate pod. Treat the number in each name as a model name, not a generation number. Do not assume a pod bought for one fits the other.


Pro 2 Specs: Battery, Puffs, Screen and Charging

The Pro 2's own product listing confirms a few basics. It is a rechargeable MTL kit with a prefilled pod system, a leak resistant pod seal and a compact, pocket friendly body. The listing does not publish exact numbers for battery size or puff count. For those figures, we checked independent UK trade coverage of this exact device. We say so plainly here, rather than passing a guess off as a fact.

  • Battery: 1000mAh, rechargeable, confirmed on more than one independent UK listing for this device

  • Charging: USB-C, the same lead most phones use today

  • Puffs per pod: rated by IVG at up to 10,000

  • Screen: a front mounted touchscreen that shows the battery level

  • Draw: mouth to lung, built around a nic salt pod

A 10,000 puff rating is a manufacturer figure. IVG works it out under set test conditions, so it is not a promise for every vaper. A short, light puff draws less liquid than a long, deep one. Two people on an identical pod can get noticeably different numbers in real use. Treat the figure as a guide to compare kits, not a countdown you can set a clock by.

The screen is the clearest upgrade over the older IVG Pro. That older kit had no display beyond a small indicator light. On the Pro 2, one glance at the screen tells you the battery level. You do not need to plug in a cable just to check.


IVG Pro 2 vs IVG Pro: What Actually Changed

Buyers searching "IVG Pro vs IVG Pro 2" usually want one answer. Is the Pro 2 worth choosing over the older, cheaper Pro? The clearest, best confirmed difference is the screen. The original Pro has no real display. The Pro 2 adds a touchscreen battery readout. Beyond that single point, we have not found UK spec sheets detailed enough to safely state more exact differences. We cannot confirm a puff count or battery size for the original Pro that we would stand behind, so we are not going to print numbers we cannot back up.

Here is what we can say with confidence. Both kits are rechargeable, prefilled pod devices. Both are built for mouth to lung nic salt vaping. Both aim at the same kind of buyer: someone switching from cigarettes or from a disposable vape. If a visible battery readout matters to you, the Pro 2 is the newer, better equipped choice of the two. If you already own the original Pro and just want more pods, buy the pod made for the device you actually own, not the one with the closest sounding name.


Pro 2 Pods and Refills: What Actually Fits This Kit

This is the question with real search demand behind it, and we want to answer it carefully, not quickly. The Pro 2 takes its own prefilled pod, the one that ships inside the box with the kit. That part is confirmed directly from the product listing.

Replacement pods bought on their own, later, are less clear cut. We checked our own replacement pods range and our wider IVG collection in full before writing this. Right now, our replacement pods range lists separate refill pods for two other kits in the IVG lineup: the Smart Max and the Pro 12. A dedicated pod made for the Pro 2 is not part of that list yet.

We want to be straight with you here, rather than naming a pod that might not actually fit. IVG sells several numbered "Pro" kits, and more than one pod line. The model number on a kit does not automatically match the model number on a compatible pod. A pod built for the Pro 12 is not confirmed to fit the Pro 2. We are not going to tell you it does on a guess. Getting this wrong once costs you a wasted order, and costs us your trust. So we would rather say "not yet listed" and be right.

  • Confirmed: the Pro 2 kit comes with its own prefilled pod in the box

  • Confirmed: our replacement pods range does not yet list a pod under the Pro 2 name

  • Not confirmed: whether any other IVG pod on sale today fits the Pro 2

  • What to do now: buy another full IVG Pro 2 Prefilled Pod Kit in your flavour, rather than guess at a separate pod

The Pro 2 is a fairly new release. Ranges like this usually grow a dedicated refill pod once demand is clear. If and when that pod is listed, we will update the kit's own product page, rather than bury the news in an old blog post. Check that page directly if buying a standalone pod matters to your order.


Pro 2 Nicotine Strengths and Who the Kit Suits

Nic salt strengths for the Pro 2 run from zero, through a mid strength, up to a 20mg top end. The ceiling of 20mg is set by UK law. No legal retailer, us included, can sell nic salt any stronger than that figure.

Think about your old habit before you pick a number. Someone who got through a pack a day, or leant on a strong disposable, usually settles on 20mg, since that strength is built to match a proper cigarette hit. If you only smoked a handful a day, or vaped a milder disposable, 10mg is often plenty, and you can always move up later if it falls short. 0mg suits a vaper after the ritual and the flavour with nothing added, including anyone cutting right down towards zero.

Nicotine is addictive, and this kit is meant for existing adult smokers and vapers aged 18 and over, never for someone who has not smoked or vaped before.

Beyond strength, the Pro 2 suits a specific kind of buyer. It suits someone who wants a kit that works the moment it arrives, with no setup, no coil building and no bottle of e-liquid to measure out. If that is not you, and you would rather control your own VG, PG and nicotine mix by hand, a refillable tank kit from our wider pod kits and hardware range may suit you better than a sealed, prefilled pod system.


Mouth to Lung Vaping on the Pro 2 Explained

MTL stands for mouth to lung. You draw vapour into your mouth first. Then you breathe it into your lungs, in two steps. That is how most people smoke a cigarette. It is why MTL is the easiest draw style for anyone switching from smoking, or from a disposable vape built the same way.

DTL stands for direct to lung. You pull the vapour straight into your lungs in one step, the way a sub ohm tank or a box mod is usually set up. DTL kits need thicker clouds and lower resistance coils. They usually run on a shortfill e-liquid rather than a nic salt. The Pro 2 is not built for that style. Pulling on it like a DTL device just wastes liquid, without giving you a better hit.

  • MTL: a tighter draw, smaller clouds, works well with nic salt, close to a cigarette

  • DTL: a looser draw, bigger clouds, needs a shortfill liquid and a sub ohm setup

  • The Pro 2: built only for MTL, so stick to a gentle, steady pull rather than a hard pull

If you have only ever used a disposable vape, you have already used MTL, without knowing the name for it. The draw on the Pro 2 should feel familiar from the first pod. IVG tuned the pod's airflow to match that same, tighter pull, not a looser, cloud chasing style of hit.


Buying the Pro 2 Online: Delivery, Returns and Age Checks

We sell the Pro 2 on the same delivery and returns terms as the rest of our nicotine products. UK delivery is free on orders over £25.00. Orders placed before 7pm go out the same day. If a kit arrives faulty, or you change your mind, you have 14 days to return it under our standard returns window.

  • Free UK delivery on orders over £25.00

  • Same day dispatch on orders placed before 7pm

  • Returns accepted within 14 days of the date your order arrives

  • Age verification at checkout, since this is a nicotine product

The Pro 2 is a nicotine product, so UK law requires us to confirm you are 18 or over before the order goes through. That is the same check that applies to every nicotine vape we sell, not something specific to this kit. Have your details ready at checkout, so the age check does not hold up dispatch.


Pro 2 Flavours Available at Eco Vapours

We currently stock eight Pro 2 flavours: Blue Raspberry Ice, Blue Sour Raspberry, Classic Menthol, Fizzy Cherry, Lemon Lime, Pineapple Ice, Spearmint and Strawberry Watermelon. That is the confirmed list on our own product page at the time of writing. It is not IVG's full flavour catalogue across every kit it makes, so do not assume every flavour IVG has ever used on another device sits on this one too.

  • Ice and menthol led: Classic Menthol, Blue Raspberry Ice, Pineapple Ice, Spearmint

  • Fruit led: Blue Sour Raspberry, Fizzy Cherry, Lemon Lime, Strawberry Watermelon

If you smoked menthol cigarettes, or a menthol disposable, before, Classic Menthol or Spearmint are the closest matches. If you preferred a sweeter, fruit forward disposable flavour, Strawberry Watermelon and Blue Sour Raspberry sit closest to that profile. Stock on individual flavours changes, so check the live options on the IVG Pro 2 product page before you order. Do not rely on this list weeks or months after we published it.


How to Charge and Look After a Pro 2 Pod Kit

Charge the Pro 2 with a USB-C cable and an ordinary, low output adaptor, the same type you would use to charge a phone. There is no need to plug it into a high output fast charger built for something else. We would not advise that, since the device is not built to use that extra power.

  • Charge by USB-C on a standard adaptor, not an unmatched fast charger

  • Unplug once the screen shows a full charge, rather than leaving it topped up overnight

  • Store spare pods upright, which lowers the chance of a leak at the seal

  • Keep the device, charged or not, and spare pods out of reach of children

A pod kit like this one has very little to go wrong, if you treat it like any other small rechargeable device. Keep it dry. Keep it out of direct sun or a hot car. Store it the way you would a phone or a power bank. If the battery level on the screen starts dropping fast compared with when you first bought the kit, that is a normal sign of a rechargeable battery ageing, not a fault specific to this model.


Pro 2 Price and the Vaping Products Duty Coming in 2026

We sell the Pro 2 Prefilled Pod Kit at £10.99, with free UK delivery on orders over £25.00. That price is checked against our live listing, not carried over from an old price sheet. It reflects what you will actually pay today, not a figure that quietly went stale.

Prices across UK vaping are set to move from 1 October 2026, when the new Vaping Products Duty takes effect. The duty is a flat £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid, charged regardless of nicotine strength, on top of ordinary VAT. Each Pro 2 pod holds a small volume of liquid. Once the duty takes effect, it adds a small, fixed amount to every pod you buy, on top of any price rise suppliers pass on separately.

  • Duty rate: a flat £2.20 per 10ml of liquid, whatever the nicotine strength

  • Start date: 1 October 2026, with registration for businesses opening from 1 April 2026

  • Who pays it: built into the retail price, the same way existing duties and VAT already are

If you already use a prefilled pod kit like the Pro 2, here is the practical point to take away. Buying in the weeks before 1 October 2026 will not change the duty, since it only applies once the new rate takes effect. But it is worth knowing why prices on nic salt pods are likely to move from that date. Most of that rise is this duty landing, not just a shop putting prices up on its own.

 

Pro 2 Specs: Battery, Puffs, Screen and Charging


Pro 2 Cost Per Puff and Value for Money

At £10.99 a kit, rated at up to 10,000 puffs, the Pro 2 works out at a little over a tenth of a penny per puff on paper. That is a simple sum: price divided by the puff rating. Real use will land somewhere close to it, not exactly on it, since puff counts are never precise.

The sum only tells half the story, though. The first kit you buy pays for the rechargeable battery, as well as the first pod. Later pods, once a separate refill pod is listed for this kit, should work out cheaper per puff than the first purchase. That is the normal pattern with any prefilled pod system. The device itself is the one off cost. The pods are the ongoing one.

  • First kit: pays for the battery and the first pod together

  • Future pods: should cost less per puff once bought on their own

  • Compare like for like: check the puff rating, not just the price, against any kit you compare it to

If you are comparing the Pro 2 against a bigger "big puff" style kit rated well past 10,000 puffs, check the price difference against the puff difference first. A bigger number on the box does not always mean better value.

 

Switching to the Pro 2 After the Disposable Vape Ban

Single use vapes became illegal to sell or supply in the UK from 1 June 2025, under the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (England) Regulations 2024. A single use vape is any device built with a sealed, non rechargeable battery that gets thrown away once the liquid runs out. A legal device now has to be rechargeable, and refillable or pod based, with a replaceable coil or pod sold separately.

The Pro 2 fits that rule cleanly. The battery is rechargeable. The pod is a separate, replaceable part. The coil inside the pod is not something you are meant to open and reuse past its pod's life, the same as any other sealed pod system on the market. If you used to buy a disposable in a similar flavour, a prefilled pod kit like this one is the closest legal match. You get the same flavour led, nic salt hit, a device you do not throw away, and a pod you swap in a few seconds.

  • Old habit: a disposable vape, binned once the battery or liquid ran out

  • New habit: a rechargeable kit like the Pro 2, with a prefilled pod you swap in

  • What stays the same: the flavour, the nic salt hit, the lack of any setup

  • What changes: you keep and recharge the battery instead of throwing it away

If you are weighing up several legal replacements, not just this one kit, our disposable vape alternatives collection lists the wider range of rechargeable kits we stock. Compare puff ratings, screens and prices side by side before you choose.

Search terms changed along with the market. Shoppers now look for "prefilled pod kit," "big puff vape" or "bar salts," rather than "disposable." Those are the phrases that describe a legal, rechargeable kit sold with the same style of flavour and nic salt strength. The Pro 2 sits inside that same group of kits. It carries over the parts of a disposable that people actually liked, the flavour and the simple draw, while dropping the single use battery that is now against the law to sell.

 

Pro 2 Buying Checklist Before You Order

Run through this short list before you check out, so your first Pro 2 order goes smoothly.

  • Pick your nic salt strength: 0mg, 10mg or 20mg

  • Pick a flavour from the eight we list today

  • Check your order hits £25.00 for free delivery, or budget for the delivery charge

  • Have your age details ready for the checkout age check

  • Plan to buy a second full kit for a spare pod, since a standalone refill pod is not yet listed

  • Order before 7pm for same day dispatch

None of this is complicated. It is the same short list we would run through for any nicotine product, not something extra for this one kit alone.

 

IVG Pro 2 Questions We Get Asked

  1. What is the IVG Pro 2?
    The IVG Pro 2 is a rechargeable, prefilled nic salt pod kit from IVG. You click in a prefilled pod andvape straight away, with no tank to fill and no coil to build by hand.

  2. When was the IVG Pro 2 released in the UK?
    IVG brought the Pro 2 to UK retailers as a newer addition to its Pro series within the past year. No single, exact UK launch date is published in a form we can check, so we have not printed one. The kit is current and in stock now, not a discontinued model.

  3. What is the difference between the IVG Pro and the IVG Pro 2?
    The clearest, best confirmed difference is the screen. The original Pro has no real display. The Pro 2 adds a touchscreen that shows the battery level. Both are rechargeable, prefilled pod kits built for mouth to lung nic salt vaping.

  4. What pods fit the IVG Pro 2?
    The Pro 2 takes its own prefilled pod, the one included in the box. At the time of writing, we do not list a separate replacement pod under the Pro 2 name. The safest way to get more right now is to buy another full kit in your flavour of choice.

  5. What nicotine strengths does the IVG Pro 2 come in?
    You can get Pro 2 pods at three nic salt strengths: zero, 10mg or a 20mg top end. That top figure is the highest strength UK law allows for sale, so it is also the strongest you will find from any legal UK retailer.

  6. Is the IVG Pro 2 a disposable vape?
    No. The Pro 2 has a rechargeable battery and a separate, replaceable prefilled pod. It does not meet the definition of a single use vape, the kind that has been illegal to sell in the UK since 1 June 2025.

  7. Is the IVG Pro 2 good for beginners?
    Yes. There is no coil to build and no tank to fill. You click in a pod and vape straight away. The MTL draw feels close to smoking or to a disposable vape, which makes it a comfortable first kit for anyone new to vaping or switching away from cigarettes.

  8. How many puffs does an IVG Pro 2 pod give compared with a 10k disposable?
    IVG rates a Pro 2 pod at up to 10,000 puffs, in line with the puff rating many 10k branded disposables used before the ban. Real world results depend on how long and how often you draw. Treat both figures as a guide, not an exact count, and expect your own result to land somewhere around that number rather than exactly on it.
