How to Switch Flavours on the IVG Pro 12 10000: Step-by-Step Guide

IVG Pro 12 10k is one of the most popular prefilled vape kits in the UK and Europe, and for good reason. It delivers up to 10,000 puffs per pod and charges via USB-C. Moreover, it comes in more than 30 flavours that make it a more favourable choice among vapers. However, to get the best out of its use, learn how to change flavours properly.

This blog covers the entire IVG Pro 12 10k flavour line, the working principle of the dual-chamber pod design, and a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to change flavours without a mess.

How the IVG Pro 12 10k Pod System Works

The pod consists of two components, with a 2ml cartridge containing the mesh coil, and a 10ml refill bottle holding the rest of the e-liquid. These are clipped together and then inserted into the kit. The 10ml tank automatically pumps the e-liquid to the 2ml pod when vaping. There are 12ml of e-liquid per pod, hence the 10,000 puffs capacity of the kit. Once both parts have been used, the whole kit can be taken out and replaced.

The kit is equipped with a 1000mAh battery and an LED screen to show the battery status.

It has no buttons and works on an auto-draw mechanism. This maintains the flavour throughout the e-cigarette as opposed to becoming weak halfway through.

The pods are available in 0mg, 10mg and 20mg nic salt strengths. The e-liquid salts are more comfortable on the throat than are equivalent volumes of freebase nicotine at the same strength, so that 20mg is comfortable here even to those who found sub-ohm vaping too harsh.

How to Switch Flavours on the IVG Pro 12 10000

Switching pods takes less than a minute. Here's how you can easily switch your flavours.

Step 1: Let the Current Pod Empty

First, let the existing pod run down fully before switching. Once vapour production drops, the flavour starts tasting faint. It means the pod is done. Switching before it's empty means losing the e-liquid that's left. There's a chance the previous flavour will carry over into the first few puffs of the new one.

Step 2: Remove the Old Pod

Grasp the pod unit, including the 2ml cartridge and the 10ml container, in one piece and pop it up and out of the kit. The IVG Pro 12 holds the slide-in connection rather than magnets, and thus, you will require a solid, heavy-handed pull. It will come out easily when you press it continuously.

Step 3: Set Up the New Pod

Take the new pod pack out of its packaging. The cartridge 2ml and the container 10ml have the transit stickers on the connection points. These cap off the e-liquid when storing and shipping. Remove all the stickers from both pieces before proceeding.

Then align the two pieces parallel to one another, and align the connection points, pressing them hard together until a click is heard or felt. The clicking sound of the automatic fill channel indicates that the cartridge has been opened, and the 10ml cartridge should fit into it well.

Step 4: Mount the Pod into the Kit

Push the assembled pod unit down into the top of the IVG Pro 12. It must fit against the kit perfectly, no movement. Unless it fits firmly or is slightly above, then it is not in place. Slide it down till it clips. The incorrectly seated pod will indicate an error, and the kit will not fire.

Step 5: Wait Before You Vape

Wait at least 5 minutes after loading a new pod and then inhale the first one. This allows the e-liquid contained in the 10ml container time to pass through the auto-fill channel and saturate the mesh coil. Vaping directly onto a dry coil incinerates the coil material instead of vaporising a liquid - the outcome is a bitter, harsh flavour that lingers in the mouth and palate throughout the life of that pod.

During colder weather, wait up to 10 minutes. The e-liquid is made thick by cold, and this reduces the saturation.

Step 6: Start Vaping

Breathe softly using the mouthpiece. The draw-activation is automatic- it does not need a button. It is recommended that you begin slowly and steadily rather than taking a long drag from the first hit. This allows you to empty the coil of air, ensuring that the flavour travels uninterrupted.

Which Nicotine Strength Should You Choose

0mg: For vapers who have already brought their nicotine down to zero, or those who want the flavour and habit without any nicotine.

10mg: A solid middle option. Usually chosen by vapers stepping down from 20mg, or lighter smokers who found the full strength gave them more nicotine than they needed. Not every flavour is available at this strength.

20mg: All flavours are available here. Nic salt at 20mg absorbs quickly and smoothly. The chemistry behind it is that benzoic acid lowers the pH of the liquid, allowing higher concentrations to be inhaled at mouth-to-lung temperatures without the harshness you'd get from freebase e-liquid at the same strength. This makes it the most practical option for disposable vapes smokers switching directly from cigarettes.

Best Flavours by Vaping Style

All-day Vaping: Strawberry Watermelon, Mixed Berry, Classic Menthol, Lemon Lime, Fresh Mint and Double Mango. 

They come with clean profiles that stay pleasant over long sessions without becoming overwhelming.

For Impact and Intensity: Blue Sour Raspberry, Red Sour Raspberry, Cherry Ice, Blue Razz Retro. 

These high-flavour options work better as rotation picks than daily staples.

For Smokers Switching from Cigarettes: Classic Menthol, Fresh Menthol Mojito, Fresh Mint. 

Ice and Menthol Preference: Blue Raspberry Ice, Pineapple Ice, Banana Ice, Strawberry Ice. 

Each sits at a different point on the fruit-to-ice balance, from light to prominent cooling.

Fruit without ice: Kiwi, Passionfruit, Guava, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry, Double Apple, Raspberry Blast, Double Mango. 

Fruits with no menthol layer are ideal to be used by the vapers who like the exhale to be warm.

Candy: Fizzy Cherry, Fizzy Orange, Fizzy Strawberry, Blue Razz Retro. Light, sweet and fun, and should be used in shorter sessions, but not in all-day vaping.

Can't decide: Mix Flavours (Random). A practical way to sample the range before settling on your favourites.

Final Word

The IVG Pro 12 10k gets a lot right. The auto-fill pod design removes manual refilling, the mesh coil keeps flavour consistent across 12ml of e-liquid, and 26 flavours, including the Mix Flavours option, give you real variety whether you rotate regularly or stick to one or two favourites.

The one thing that trips people up is the coil priming step. Give it five minutes after inserting a new IVG Pro 12 pod. Do that consistently, and every flavour switch will start clean.
