IVG Pro 12 Starter Kit

IVG Pro 12 Starter Kit: big-tank vaping without the disposable waste

The IVG Pro 12 Starter Kit is IVG's answer to a simple question: how do you get the convenience and flavour of a big-puff disposable, but in a device you actually keep? It's a refillable pod kit rated up to roughly 10,000 puffs per pod cycle, which puts it firmly in the "buy once, top up cheaply" camp rather than the throwaway aisle. If you've been running through disposables and quietly wincing at the cost and the bin full of dead devices, this is the kit designed to end that loop.

IVG (I VG) is one of the UK's most recognisable e-liquid and hardware names, and the Pro 12 leans on that flavour heritage hard. You get a rechargeable device, refillable pods, and a menu of around 37 flavours to match against your favourite disposable. It's built to be genuinely beginner-friendly while still giving experienced vapers the tank capacity and flavour depth they want. Everything here is sold for adults 18+ only, and the kit is designed to sit within UK TPD rules.

What makes the Pro 12 stand out

Plenty of "big puff" kits exist now. The Pro 12 earns its place for a few practical reasons:

• Refillable, not disposable. You reuse the device and refill the pod, so your ongoing spend is mostly e-liquid rather than a whole new unit every couple of days.
• Long pod life. With a rated capacity up to around 10,000 puffs per pod, you're not fiddling with the kit constantly, top up the liquid and keep going.
• IVG flavour pedigree. The brand made its name on juice, and that shows across the 37-strong flavour list. These aren't afterthought profiles.
• Simple, pocket-friendly format. It's designed as a grab-and-go device, so there's no separate mod, no coil-building, and no maze of settings to learn.
• Lower long-term cost. Because you're buying liquid rather than complete devices, the price-per-vape typically drops the longer you use it.

In short: it keeps the ease of a disposable and swaps in the economy and reduced waste of a proper reusable kit.

The flavour range: around 37 to choose from

The flavour list is where the Pro 12 gets fun, because IVG has stacked it with the profiles people actually reach for. A few standouts worth calling out:

• Blue Raspberry Ice, the classic sweet-and-sharp blue razz with a clean cooling finish. If you're coming off a fruity disposable, start here.
• Banana Ice, smooth, creamy banana softened by a gentle chill; an easy all-day vape that doesn't tire the palate.
• Blue Razz Retro, that nostalgic fizzy-sweet-shop take on blue raspberry, leaning candy rather than icy.
• Cherry Ice, ripe, slightly tart cherry with a menthol edge; a crowd-pleaser that stays crisp.
• Blueberry Mint, juicy blueberry lifted by cool mint, for anyone who likes fruit with a fresher, less sugary finish.
• Blue Sour Raspberry, a tarter, mouth-puckering twist for vapers who want more bite than a standard blue razz.

Beyond these you'll find the full spread of fruits, ices and menthols that IVG is known for, so there's room to keep a couple of pods on the go, say a fruity daytime option and something icier for the evening. With this many flavours, the smart move is to buy two or three and rotate them to avoid "vaper's tongue," where one profile starts to taste flat simply because you've had too much of it.

Setting up and getting the best from your kit

Getting started is deliberately painless:

• Charge first. Give the device a full charge before its first proper session so the battery calibrates and you're not cutting a session short.
• Fill the pod. Add your chosen e-liquid to the refillable pod, seating it correctly so there are no air gaps around the wick.
• Prime it, the important bit. After filling, leave the pod to stand for a few minutes so the coil's wicking material fully absorbs the liquid. Take a couple of gentle "primer" puffs without firing hard. This one step prevents most burnt first-vapes.
• Vape and top up. Draw as you normally would. When the level drops, refill before it runs dry rather than after.

Treat the first refill as the moment that sets the tone: a well-primed pod tastes clean for far longer than one you rushed.

How to avoid a burnt or muted taste

Almost every "it tastes off" complaint on kits like this comes down to a handful of habits:

• Never let it run dry. Vaping a near-empty pod scorches the wick, refill early.
• Don't chain-vape. Firing puff after puff can outpace the wicking. Leave a few seconds between draws to let liquid re-soak the coil.
• Respect the prime time. If a fresh fill tastes harsh, you probably didn't let it sit long enough.
• Store it upright. This keeps liquid where the wick can reach it and reduces leaks or gurgling.
• Match your draw. A steady, moderate pull generally gives cleaner flavour than a hard, sharp one on a mouth-to-lung style kit.

Who the IVG Pro 12 suits

Beginners: there's no coil-building, no wattage dial and no jargon, fill, prime, vape. It's about as gentle an entry point into refillable vaping as you'll find.

Ex-smokers and switchers: the mouth-to-lung style and nic-salt-friendly format give a satisfying throat hit that mirrors a cigarette more closely than big cloud-chasing setups. The long pod life means fewer interruptions while you're building the habit.

Disposable users trading up: this is arguably the core audience. You keep the plug-and-play feel you're used to but cut both cost and waste dramatically.

Experienced vapers who want a low-fuss backup or a pocket device for nights out will appreciate the capacity and the flavour library without lugging a full mod around.

How it compares to other refillable pod kits

Against a standard small pod kit, the Pro 12's headline advantage is capacity and puff count, you refill and recharge far less often than with a compact 2ml everyday pod device. Against disposables, it wins on cost and sustainability: a reusable body plus refills works out cheaper over a few weeks and produces a fraction of the waste. Against advanced sub-ohm mods, it trades big-cloud customisation for simplicity, fewer settings, less maintenance, and a more discreet form factor. If your priority is easy, flavour-forward, all-day vaping without a learning curve, it sits in a genuine sweet spot.

Nicotine strength guidance

In the UK, nicotine e-liquids and nic salts are capped at 20mg/ml (2%) under TPD rules, and that's the strongest you can legally buy here. As a rough guide: heavier ex-smokers often start around 20mg nic salt for a firmer hit, lighter or social smokers frequently do well on 10mg, and vapers stepping down over time move toward lower strengths or nicotine-free. Because the Pro 12 is refillable, you're free to choose your own strength and even taper gradually, something a fixed-strength disposable can't offer. If you're unsure, err lower; you can always go up.

Care, storage and running cost

Look after the kit and it'll reward you:

• Keep it clean. Wipe the connection points occasionally and clear any condensation to keep flavour crisp and the contacts happy.
• Store sensibly. Upright, out of direct sun and away from heat, high temperatures thin the liquid and can dull flavour. Keep spare e-liquid somewhere cool and dark.
• Charge smart. Top up before it's completely flat and don't leave it on charge indefinitely to help preserve battery health.
• Keep it away from children and pets. Nicotine products must be stored securely and are strictly for adults 18+.

On value: your main recurring cost is e-liquid, not hardware. Buy your bottles in the flavours you love, refill instead of rebuying whole devices, and the per-vape cost typically undercuts a disposable habit noticeably over a month. That's the core reason to switch.

Around 37, spanning fruits, ices and menthols, including Blue Raspberry Ice, Banana Ice, Blue Razz Retro, Cherry Ice, Blueberry Mint and Blue Sour Raspberry.
