IVG Pro 12 Prefilled Pods and Refills Banana Ice: the essentials

IVG Pro 12 Prefilled Pods and Refills Banana Ice is a sealed prefilled refill for the IVG Pro 12 system, listed at £5.99 with a rated 10,000 puffs and a choice of 10mg or 20mg nicotine salt. Banana Ice is the flavour: a soft, ripe banana body wrapped in menthol, and one of the more grown up options in a range that otherwise leans heavily on sharp berries and fizzy sweets.

There is a multibuy attached, BUY 5 FOR £25, and it is one of the stronger refill offers on the site. Five pods for £25.00 is £5.00 each, which is a real reduction rather than a token one, and it is the reason most people ordering this pod do so in batches instead of singles.

IVG has been a fixture in UK vaping for years, and the Pro 12 is one of its higher capacity prefilled formats. The whole point of a pod like this is repeat purchasing: you own the device once, then buy flavours as you need them. To see the full breadth of what the brand currently offers, the IVG brand collection is the place to start.

A refill, not a device: what you need before you order

This is worth stating plainly, because it is the single most frequent misunderstanding on refill listings. What arrives is a prefilled pod. There is no battery inside, no charging port, no cable and no body. If you do not already own the matching IVG Pro 12 device, the pod on its own will do nothing.

Closed pod systems work on a simple split. The device holds the battery, the airflow path and the firing electronics, and it stays with you for months. The pod holds the e-liquid and the heating element, and it gets replaced when the liquid is gone. Because UK rules limit any single prefilled pod to 2ml, the pod is always the consumable part, no matter how high the puff rating climbs.

That split is why a refill costs less than a full kit. You are only paying for the part that gets used up. Over a year, someone who buys refills for an existing device rather than a fresh complete unit every time spends less and throws away far less hardware, which is the practical argument for closed pod systems over single use vapes.

It also means compatibility is not optional. A pod designed for one IVG line will not necessarily seat correctly in another. Read the name on your device, match it to the name on the listing, and if in doubt browse the wider vape pods section, where every refill we stock is grouped by the system it belongs to.

If you are currently on single use vapes and thinking about moving across, the disposable vapes collection and the pod ranges sit side by side for comparison, and the cost difference over a month is usually obvious once you total it up.

Inside the flavour: how IVG builds its Banana Ice

IVG has a house style, and it shows here. The brand tends to lead with a clear, recognisable fruit rather than a complicated stack of five notes, and Banana Ice follows that pattern exactly. It is a two part flavour and it does not pretend otherwise.

The banana is the dominant character. It reads as ripe fruit rather than banana sweets, with a light dairy softness sitting underneath it that gives the vapour some weight in the mouth. It is sweet, but the sweetness is level rather than escalating, which matters over a long day because escalating sweetness is what makes people abandon a flavour by mid afternoon.

The ice is the second half. It lands on the exhale as a cool, clean sweep that lifts the creaminess off your tongue and leaves the finish crisp. The cooling is noticeable without being aggressive, closer to a chilled milkshake than to an ice cube. If you are someone who normally has to pair a fruit with a menthol pod to keep things fresh, this one already does that work for you.

Where it belongs in a rotation: Banana Ice is a base flavour, not a novelty. It sits comfortably as the pod you fall back on between louder profiles. Against the rest of the Pro 12 line, which includes Blue Sour Raspberry, Fizzy Cherry, Double Mango, Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, Fresh Menthol Mojito and Raspberry Blast, Banana Ice is the calm one, and that is precisely its job.

If you also vape from bottles, the equivalent character exists in bottled form across the nicotine salt e-liquid range, although a bottled salt in an open device will usually taste warmer and less cooled than a tuned prefilled pod does.

Ten thousand puffs, and what that means for you

The Pro 12 pod is rated at 10,000 puffs. That figure comes from standardised testing, not from an average customer, and the honest answer to how long yours will last is that it depends on you.

Three things move the number. The first is puff length: a three second draw uses roughly twice the liquid of a one and a half second draw, so long pullers empty pods far faster. The second is frequency, which is mostly a function of nicotine strength and habit. The third is temperature, since a warm device evaporates liquid slightly faster than a cold one.

To put the rating in context: 10,000 puffs sits in the upper middle of the current UK market. It is a large step up from the 600 puff bars that dominated a few years ago and a comfortable step up from the 4,000 and 6,000 puff tiers, without going as far as the 20,000 and 30,000 puff products that have appeared more recently. For a lot of adult vapers this tier is the sweet spot, because it lasts long enough to be convenient without tying you to a single flavour for weeks on end.

The best way to plan your ordering is to track your first pod. Note the day you open it and the day it dies, then multiply. If a pod lasts you eight days, five pods cover roughly six weeks. If it lasts three days, five pods cover a fortnight and you should probably be looking at a higher tier as well.

You can browse the whole tier in the 10000 puff vapes collection to see how the Pro 12 compares against other brands at the same rating and price point.

Strength selection and how it quietly changes pod life

Both available strengths, 10mg and 20mg, are nicotine salt. Twenty milligrams per millilitre is as high as UK law allows, so there is no stronger legal option, and the choice you are actually making is between satisfying faster and vaping longer.

Here is the part that gets overlooked. Strength affects how long a pod lasts, not just how it feels. On 20mg, most people reach satisfaction in fewer puffs and put the device down sooner. On 10mg, the same person often takes more puffs to feel settled. The result is that a 10mg pod can empty faster than a 20mg one for the same vaper, even though the liquid volume is identical. If you switched down to 10mg and found yourself buying refills more often, that is why.

For adults coming across from cigarettes, 20mg is the more common starting point because the satisfaction arrives quickly and the urge to keep puffing settles. For adults who have already been vaping for a while and have gradually reduced, 10mg is usually the comfortable landing place. Neither is a permanent commitment, and moving between them is as simple as ordering a different pod next time.

Signs you are on the wrong strength are fairly clear. Constant, restless puffing with no sense of satisfaction usually means the strength is too low. A scratchy throat, a slight head rush or feeling queasy after a few minutes usually means it is too high. Adjust once, give it a few days, and judge from there.

Nicotine is addictive. These pods are for adult smokers and existing vapers, and sales on this site are strictly 18+.

BUY 5 FOR £25 and how to build a five pod rotation

Five pods at the single price would be £29.95. The multibuy makes it £25.00, a saving of £4.95, and it drops the effective price of each pod from £5.99 to a flat £5.00. As refill offers go, that is a genuine discount rather than a rounding trick, and it is the cheapest way to buy this pod on the site.

Five is also a useful number for rotation purposes, because it lets you build a proper spread instead of just doubling up. A rotation that works for a lot of people looks something like this:

1. Two Banana Ice. Your baseline, the flavour you can vape all day without tiring of it.
2. One cold sharp fruit. Something like Blue Sour Raspberry or Red Sour Raspberry to reset the palate when the cream starts to feel heavy.
3. One straight menthol. Classic Menthol or Fresh Mint, for mornings, after food, or whenever you want nothing sweet at all.
4. One wildcard. Double Mango, Fizzy Orange or Pink Lemonade, purely so there is something in the bag you have not had this week.

Rotating like this solves the problem that kills most flavours: palate fatigue. Vape the same profile continuously and your nose stops registering it within about ten days, at which point people usually conclude the pod is faulty when in fact their sense of smell has simply adapted. Swapping between two or three profiles keeps each one tasting the way it did on day one.

The multibuy also clears the £20 free UK delivery threshold with room to spare, so the total you pay at checkout is £25.00 and nothing more.

IVG's wider catalogue and where the Pro 12 sits in it

With 540 products listed, IVG is one of the largest brands on this site, and the Pro 12 is only one slice of it. The range spans small pocket kits, high capacity prefilled systems, bottled e-liquids and multi packs, and the lines are priced quite differently from one another.

The most useful comparison for anyone reading this page is the IVG 2400 series. Those are complete rechargeable kits at £6.99 rather than refills, rated at 2,400 puffs, and they are aimed at a different job entirely: pocketable, self contained, and ideal as a second device or a way to try a flavour family without committing to a whole pod system. If banana is what brought you here, IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Banana Edition gives you the same fruit direction in a smaller, self contained format. For contrast, IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Berry Edition covers the mixed berry ground and IVG 2400 Rechargeable Vape Kit Blue Raspberry Ice gives you the sharp, cold blue profile that sits at the opposite end of the flavour map from a creamy banana.

A reasonable setup for a lot of adult vapers is one high capacity pod system as the main device and one small kit as a backup for nights out, work bags and glove boxes. The Pro 12 pod does the heavy lifting, and the small kit means you are never stranded with a flat battery.

What you should not do is assume pods cross over between lines. A Pro 12 pod is a Pro 12 pod. It is not a spare part for a 2400 kit or for any other IVG format.

Delivery, authenticity and the legal position

Everything sold here is 100% genuine, sourced through official UK distribution. With prefilled pods that is not a marketing line, it is the whole point: a compliant UK pod is limited to 2ml and to a maximum of 20mg nicotine, is registered with the MHRA, and carries the correct labelling. Grey market pods sold outside that framework carry none of those guarantees.

Orders placed before 4pm on a working day go out the same day. UK delivery is free once your basket passes £20, so the BUY 5 FOR £25 multibuy qualifies automatically. A single £5.99 pod does not, and standard postage will apply, which is worth bearing in mind if you are only topping up.

All sales are strictly 18+ and age verification applies. We will refuse any order where age cannot be confirmed, and identification may be requested at the point of delivery. These products contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance. They are intended for adult smokers and current vapers, and they are not suitable for non smokers, for under 18s, or for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.

Finally, a small practical note on ordering refills. Keep one spare pod ahead of where you are. Running out with nothing in the drawer is the most common reason people end up buying a single use vape at a corner shop at three times the cost per puff, and a five pod multibuy makes that situation very hard to reach.

Where this sits in the IVG range

Brands are easier to judge by their range than by any one item in it. We stock 540 IVG products, running from £2.89 to £11.99. That breadth means you can usually stay inside the brand when you want a change, rather than starting over somewhere else.

The full lineup is on the IVG page. Other IVG products worth a look:

• IVG Nexio Prefilled Pods Blue Razz GB at £5.99
• IVG SAVR Prefilled Pods and Refill Containers Strawberry Kiwi at £5.99
• IVG SAVR Prefilled Pods and Refill Containers Strawberry Ice at £5.99
• IVG Pro 12 Starter Kit at £7.99

Brand loyalty in vaping is mostly about knowing what to expect, which counts for a lot.

How it compares to the rest of the category

The useful question is not what it costs, but what else that money buys. We list 1,412 products in this category, and 21 in the same puff class. At £5.99, this one sits in the middle of the market.

• Multibuy deals are where the price per unit drops hardest, and they can be mixed across flavours.
• Reduced lines carry 1,558 products if the budget is the deciding factor.
• Bottled e-liquid works out cheaper per millilitre if you are willing to refill rather than swap.
• Prefer this flavour family? Browse the whole family rather than guessing at names.

None of those is objectively right. They suit different routines and different budgets.

The running cost, worked out

Work out cost per week and product comparisons get much easier.

At £5.99 for a rated 10,000 puffs, that is roughly 0.60p per 1,000 puffs. That number is only as good as the rating behind it, and every brand measures generously.

• The buy 5 for £25 offer is the single biggest lever on that number.
• Baskets over £20.00 ship free in the UK, so building to that threshold beats paying postage twice.
• Nicotine strength changes consumption: many adults find a higher strength means reaching for the device less often.

Banana Ice against the rest of the line

Same product, different flavour, is the fairest comparison available. There are 32 options under this name:

• Fizzy Orange
• Red Sour Raspberry
• Sour Cherry Watermelon
• Cherry Ice
• Strawberry Kiwi
• Blue Sour Raspberry

Most regulars keep two on the go rather than committing to one. The buy 5 for £25 offer makes that cheap to do.

Why the UK market looks like this

A lot of the format decisions here were made by law, not by marketing. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. That is why you buy small bottles often rather than one large one.

The end of single-use disposables changed what sits on the shelf. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods took their place, which is why a device now comes with a charging port and a pod you swap rather than a sealed unit you bin. It also means the device outlives the flavour, which changes how you shop.

All stock here meets those UK limits and comes through UK distribution. Sales are 18+ and every order is age-checked.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.

• Prime before the first draw. Click the pod in and leave it a minute. Drawing on a dry wick is what causes that scorched first hit.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

None of that is demanding, and it is the difference between a product that performs to the end and one that disappoints halfway.

Buying this as a first purchase

If this is your first order with us, a few things are worth knowing before you commit.

1. Format. A prefilled pod is the no-mess option. Bottled e-liquid costs less per millilitre if you do not mind refilling.
2. Strength. This comes in 10mg and 20mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Banana Ice. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Beyond that, it is down to taste rather than technique. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

The buying side is straightforward. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. Tracked options are shown at checkout.

Consumables cannot be returned once opened, for obvious hygiene reasons. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. Age verification applies to every order, and unverified orders are refunded rather than sent.

Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.

More flavours in this line

Other options in the same range.

• Strawberry Raspberry Cherry
• Pineapple Ice
• Sour Cherry Watermelon
• Red Sour Raspberry
• Grape Ice
• Blueberry Mint
• Strawberry Kiwi
• Blue Razz Retro

Most regulars run two flavours in rotation rather than one.

Reading puff counts and pack sizes honestly

Puff ratings deserve more scepticism than they usually get. This listing is rated at 10,000 puffs. That figure comes from laboratory testing with a consistent draw, not from someone using it on a cold morning at a bus stop. Your own total will differ, sometimes considerably.

The bigger point is what the number describes. UK rules cap a prefilled pod or tank at 2ml, and nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml. A five-figure puff rating therefore describes what a system delivers across all the pods you will work through, not what sits inside one pod on the shelf. Any brand claiming otherwise is describing a product that could not legally be sold here.

It is useful side by side, useless in isolation. Comparing two products in the same class is fair. Budgeting your month on the strength of a rating is not. For reference, £5.99 against 10,000 rated puffs works out at roughly 0.60p per thousand, which is a more useful figure than the headline.

Nicotine strength, explained properly

Of every decision on this page, strength is the one worth thinking hardest about. This listing offers 10mg and 20mg. UK law caps nicotine at 20mg per ml, so nothing sold legally here goes higher, and the honest question is how far below that ceiling you should sit.

The instinct is to go low, and it usually backfires. If a strength does not satisfy, you compensate by vaping more often, which costs more and rarely feels better. A heavier former smoker typically starts at the top of the range and steps down over weeks or months once the habit has settled. Someone who smoked lightly, or who has already been vaping a while, is usually comfortable in the middle.

There is a physical side to this as well. Higher strengths give a firmer hit at the back of the throat, which many people switching from cigarettes actively want, and which others find harsh. Nicotine salts are smoother than freebase at the same number, which is why bar-style liquids sit at 20mg without feeling like it. If you are unsure, buy one of each rather than committing to five of the wrong one. 10mg options and 20mg options are browsable separately.
