IVG Pro 12 10K Kit and Pods: A Wholesale Stocking Guide for UK Retailers

The IVG Pro 12 10K kit, listed by IVG and many UK sellers as the IVG Pro 10K, is a rechargeable prefilled pod system: a 1000mAh battery, a 2ml mesh-coil pod and a 10ml container that tops the pod up as it empties. For a trade buyer the kit is only half the order. Every kit you sell creates a customer who will come back for IVG Pro 12 10K pods, so the real questions are how many pod sets to hold per kit, which flavours to cover, and how the new duty and retail rules change your costings. This guide covers verified specs, compatibility, our trade pack sizes, stocking ratios, an illustrative margin example and the UK rules in force from 29 October 2026.

What the IVG Pro 12 10K is

IVG is a UK brand that moved into rechargeable "big puff" pod systems after single-use vapes were banned on 1 June 2025. The Pro 12 name refers to the 12ml of e-liquid in each pod set (2ml pod plus 10ml container); the 10K refers to IVG's estimate of up to 10,000 puffs per set. Puff counts are a manufacturer estimate and real-world figures depend on how each customer vapes.

The device is draw-activated with no buttons or settings, uses mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw, and shows the battery level on an LED display. A window on the front shows the name of the fitted flavour, which helps on a busy counter. When the pod set runs out, the customer replaces the pod and container and keeps the battery. That is what separates it from the banned single-use products, and it is why we do not describe it as a "disposable". If you want a closer look at the design itself, our earlier IVG Pro 10K design and performance guide covers it in more detail.

Kit and pod compatibility

The IVG Pro 12 replacement pods fit the IVG Pro 10K (Pro 12) and the IVG Pro 2 10K. One SKU therefore serves customers on either device, which keeps your pod range simpler than running a separate refill line per model. They do not fit other IVG systems such as the Smart Max or XL 35K.

Do not mix it up with the Pro 5K

The IVG Pro 5K uses a smaller pod set: a 2ml pod with a 4ml container, 6ml in total, rated by IVG at up to about 5,000 puffs. The two refill packs look similar on a shelf. Keep them in separate, clearly labelled facings and check which device a customer has before they buy refills. A wrong-pod return costs you a sale and the customer's trust.

Charging cables

The kit does not include a USB-C cable. Many customers already own one, but a small stock of USB-C cables next to the till avoids a lost sale from the customer who does not.

Wholesale pack sizes at Direct Vape Wholesale

There is no minimum order, so you can buy a single box of kits or a single pack of pods to test a flavour, and delivery is free on orders over £150. Our wider ranges sit in IVG vape kits wholesale and IVG refill pods wholesale if you want to see the rest of the brand alongside the Pro 12.

The pod range is more than twice the size of the kit range. Kit flavours cover the mainstream profiles (berry, ice, menthol, citrus, mango, cherry), while the pod list adds options such as Cola Frost, Double Apple, Peach Ice, Spearmint and Tobacco. That suits a sensible pattern: sell the kit in a popular flavour, then let customers explore on refills.

Stocking and repeat-order advice

Plan around pods, not kits

A kit is a one-off purchase per customer until the battery wears out. Pod sets are bought again and again. A practical starting point for a new line is to hold at least two to three pod packs for every box of kits, then adjust from your own sell-through after the first few weeks. These ratios are a planning suggestion, not data on how the product sells.

Mirror kit flavours in pods first

Every flavour you sell as a kit should also be on the pod shelf, or the customer's first refill trip may end at another shop. Start with pods matching the kit flavours you carry, then add a few pod-only flavours to give returning customers something new.

Track pods by device

Because the Pro 12 pod also serves Pro 2 owners, your pod demand can exceed what kit sales alone suggest. Log refill sales separately from kit sales in your EPOS so reorders follow real demand.

Watch duty-stamp timing

Stock made before the duty stamp scheme can be sold unstamped until 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2027 vaping products must carry a duty stamp. Avoid building a large unstamped pod holding that may not sell through before that date.

Illustrative margin example

Gross margin (%) = ((Selling price − Cost of goods) ÷ Selling price) × 100

Work in VAT-exclusive figures. Suppose a retailer pays £4.00 ex VAT per pod set and sells it for £7.50 inc VAT. Removing 20% VAT gives a net selling price of £6.25. Gross margin = ((6.25 − 4.00) ÷ 6.25) × 100 = 36%. The markup on cost for the same numbers is (2.25 ÷ 4.00) × 100 = 56%. Margin and markup are different figures, so use the same one consistently when you compare products.

Remember the duty. From 1 October 2026 Vaping Products Duty is £2.20 per 10ml, so a 12ml Pro 12 pod set carries £2.64 of duty that is built into the price you pay. When you compare the Pro 12 with a smaller set, such as the 7ml SKE Bar 6K, compare cost per ml or per set, not just pack price.

UK compliance for the IVG Pro 12 10K

• TPD limits: 20mg/ml maximum nicotine, 2ml maximum pod or tank, 10ml maximum refill container. The Pro 12 set uses a 2ml pod and a 10ml container at 20mg/ml, within those limits.
• Single-use vape ban: in force since 1 June 2025. The Pro 12 is rechargeable with a replaceable pod set.
• Vaping Products Duty: £2.20 per 10ml from 1 October 2026, with duty stamps required from 1 April 2027. See HMRC's announcement on GOV.UK.
• Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 (from 29 October 2026): 18+ applies to all vaping and nicotine products, including 0mg vapes and nicotine pouches. Free distribution and substantial retail discounts are banned. Bulk and trade discounts between businesses are unaffected, and the age rule applies to retail sales, not wholesale. Our 29 October checklist for UK vape shops sets out what to change in store.
• Advertising: the government plans to end vape advertising and sponsorship from 1 June 2027 (DHSC). Plan any in-store or online promotion with that date in mind.

IVG Pro 12 10K compared with similar kits we sell

Battery and capacity from our product listings; puff counts are manufacturer estimates. All four are box-of-5 trade packs at 20mg/ml.

The Pro 12 sits at the top of this group on battery size and estimated puffs per set, while the Hayati and Lost Mary kits carry the same 12ml per set. For shops that already stock one of these systems, the main decision is shelf space for another pod line. Our Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 trade guide covers that system in the same format, and the full range is in prefilled pod vape kits wholesale.

Retailer checklist for the IVG Pro 12 10K

• Order pods in every flavour you sell as a kit.
• Hold more pod packs than kit boxes and review the ratio after your first reorder.
• Keep Pro 12 and Pro 5K refills in separate, labelled facings.
• Stock a few USB-C cables, as the kit does not include one.
• Price on cost per set including the £2.64 duty built into a 12ml set.
• Plan unstamped stock to sell through by 31 March 2027.
• Confirm 18+ age checks in store and online, and no free samples or deep retail discounts.
• Track kit and pod sales separately in your EPOS.
