IVG Pro 2 Pod Kit (Device Only)

The IVG Pro 2 is built around a 1000mAh internal battery, a meaningful step up from many pod kits in this price range that run on 500 to 750mAh cells. Independent testing and UK retailer reviews put the battery at a full day of moderate vaping for most users, with lighter users regularly getting into a second day before needing to charge. When you do connect the USB-C cable (sold separately), the device reaches full capacity in approximately 30 minutes, making mid-commute or lunchtime top-ups entirely practical.

The defining feature of the Pro 2 versus the original IVG Pro is the full-colour touchscreen fitted to the front face. It displays current battery percentage as a live number and runs a brief startup animation when the device powers on. On the first-generation IVG Pro, users estimated battery level from a three-LED indicator that showed only thirds. The Pro 2 removes that guesswork: you can check the precise percentage with a tap of the screen or at a glance after each puff.

The 0.8ohm mesh coil is built into the pod rather than the device body itself, which means the coil is automatically replaced every time you fit a new pod set. This removes the coil-changing step that traditional refillable pod kits require. Mesh construction spreads heat evenly across the wicking surface, producing consistent flavour from the first draw of a fresh pod through to the final puff of a fully depleted one, without the uneven hotspots that single-wire coils can produce.

Activation is purely inhale-based with no fire button. Airflow is fixed at a tight mouth-to-lung setting that replicates the resistance of a cigarette draw. There are no wattage controls, no airflow adjustment options, and no settings menus. This simplicity is deliberate: the IVG Pro 2 is built for people who want consistent performance without any configuration, which makes it well suited to smokers converting to vaping and to disposable users looking to reduce their weekly spend without adopting complicated hardware.

The IVG Pro 2 device-only ships with no pods. You pair it with IVG Pro 12 refill pods, which are sold separately across the VapeCity IVG range. Each IVG Pro 12 set consists of a 2ml prefilled pod and a separate 10ml refill container that feeds additional e-liquid into the pod as you vape. The combined 12ml per set is what the Pro 12 naming refers to, and a single set supports up to 10,000 puffs under normal MTL use.

The range covers more than 33 flavours across three nicotine concentrations: 0mg for nicotine-free vaping, 10mg for moderate delivery and 20mg for the same nicotine satisfaction as a 20mg nicotine salt disposable. Flavour categories span fruits (Strawberry Watermelon, Pineapple Ice, Fizzy Cherry), menthols (Classic Menthol, Spearmint) and candy-influenced profiles (Blue Sour Raspberry, Lemon Lime). The pod clicks into the top of the Pro 2 device with a single snap and is removed by pulling straight up. No tools required, no coils to prime.

One practical point: you cannot see the e-liquid level in the pod without removing it from the device. The pod body is opaque and the touchscreen battery readout does not show remaining liquid. The most reliable method for tracking consumption is to note when you fit a new set and estimate from your daily usage. At moderate MTL vaping, a 12ml set typically lasts between 10 and 14 days for most users.

The IVG Pro 2 is fully backward compatible with pods from the original IVG Pro. If you are upgrading from a first-generation device, your existing pod sets transfer directly to the Pro 2 without any adaptor or modification. This compatibility was a deliberate design choice by IVG to protect the investment existing users have made in pod stock.

The IVG Pro 2 device-only requires a USB-C cable and a separate IVG Pro 12 pod set before you can vape. The setup is five steps and takes under five minutes once both are in hand.

The IVG Pro 2 is a focused upgrade of the original IVG Pro rather than a ground-up redesign. Both share the same pod system, the same 0.8ohm mesh coil, the same MTL airflow profile and the same 12ml per-set capacity. The changes are concentrated in the two areas of daily friction that the original device left unaddressed: battery information and charging speed.

The first-generation IVG Pro used three LED indicators to show battery level in rough thirds: full, medium and low. This is functional but imprecise, and requires knowing which light position maps to which approximate percentage. The Pro 2 replaces the LED strip entirely with a full-colour touchscreen that shows the exact battery percentage as a number. You can check it with a tap of the screen at any time, and the display activates automatically with each puff. For anyone who has been caught short by a dead battery because a single LED can mean anything between 34 and 66 percent, the Pro 2 display removes the uncertainty.

Charging speed is the second meaningful change. The original IVG Pro used a micro-USB port and required a significantly longer session to reach full capacity. The Pro 2 uses USB-C and charges from flat to full in approximately 30 minutes. The practical effect is that a Pro 2 user who forgets to charge overnight can recover during a morning break rather than being stuck waiting for a slow charge to complete.

What did not change: coil resistance (0.8ohm mesh), the MTL draw profile, the pod compatibility, the maximum puff count (10,000 per set) and the range of available flavours. The Pro 2 offers no flavour or vapour performance improvement over the original IVG Pro. It offers better battery information and faster recovery time, which are the right improvements to make on a device people use every day.

At the £28.99 device-only price point, the IVG Pro 2 sits alongside several well-regarded UK pod kits. The most relevant comparisons for an MTL daily-carry device are the Vaporesso XROS 4, the SMOK Solus G and the Elfbar ELFA Pro.

The Vaporesso XROS 4 uses an open refillable pod system, which means you can fill it with any 50/50 or 60/40 e-liquid rather than being tied to a proprietary range. The XROS 4 also offers a choice of coil resistances (0.6ohm and 1.2ohm versus the fixed 0.8ohm on the IVG Pro 2) and a slightly more adjustable draw. Where the Pro 2 wins is on display quality: the XROS 4 uses a basic LED indicator while the Pro 2 has a full-colour touchscreen with percentage readout. If flavour freedom matters more than information display, the XROS 4 is the stronger choice. If simplicity and clear battery status matter more, the Pro 2 holds its ground.

The SMOK Solus G brings adjustable airflow to this category, allowing a slightly more open MTL draw than the fixed setting on the IVG Pro 2. It runs on a 700mAh battery versus the 1000mAh on the Pro 2, which gives the IVG device a meaningful advantage in daily endurance for heavier users. The Solus G is the better pick if you want to experiment with draw resistance; the Pro 2 is better if consistent daily battery life is the priority.

The Elfbar ELFA Pro uses a prefilled-pod approach similar to the IVG system: proprietary pods, snap-in connection and inhale activation. The key difference is battery: the ELFA Pro runs on 500mAh versus 1000mAh on the Pro 2. For heavier users this means daily recharging on the ELFA Pro versus the possibility of a second day on the Pro 2. The IVG Pro 12 flavour range is also broader at more than 33 options versus the Elfbar ELFA selection at the point of writing.

The IVG Pro 2 is a well-executed device for what it sets out to be. The strengths are genuine and the limitations are honest ones that the right buyer will already have accounted for.
