IVG Pro 5K Prefilled Pod Kit: UK Retailer Stocking Guide

Written for UK vape retailers and trade buyers. Nicotine products are for adults aged 18 and over only.

Since single-use vapes were banned in England, Scotland and Wales on 1 June 2025, a lot of shops have been rebuilding their ranges around rechargeable kits that take a prefilled pod. The customer still gets a simple, grab-and-go product, but the device is reusable and the pod is what gets replaced. The IVG Pro 5K prefilled pod kit sits squarely in that category, and with a very wide flavour list and an accessible box price it deserves a place on any retailer’s review list this autumn.

This guide covers what the kit is, how it compares with the rest of the IVG line, how to approach flavour depth when there are dozens to choose from, and what to check before any vaping product goes on your shelf. Prices and pack sizes quoted here come from the supplier’s listings on 8 October 2026, so confirm current details before you order.

What is the IVG Pro 5K prefilled pod kit?

The IVG Pro 5K is a rechargeable pod kit built around prefilled pods. Instead of buying a device and a separate bottle of e-liquid, the customer clicks in a pod that already contains liquid, uses it, and swaps it for a new one when it runs out. The “5K” in the name is the manufacturer’s puff rating. Like every puff figure in the industry, it is a guide rather than a promise: real-world use depends on how often and how deeply someone inhales, as well as the device and the flavour.

The trade listing is a box of five kits. Replacement pods are sold as a separate product, the IVG Pro 5K prefilled pods, also in packs of five. For a retailer, that split is the whole point of the format. The kit gets a customer started, and the pods are what they come back for.

IVG is a long-established name in UK vaping, and its devices and pods are well known to shoppers. You can see the complete brand range in the IVG wholesale range at Simba Vapes Wholesale, where this kit is listed alongside the brand’s other kits, pods and e-liquids.

Key facts at a glance

At the listed price, a box of five works out at roughly £3.00 per kit. Prices and availability change, so check the product page before you place an order.

Why the kit-and-pod format suits post-ban shelves?

Before the ban, a disposable was a one-off sale. A customer bought it, used it, threw it away, and the next purchase could be from any shop. A kit with replaceable pods changes that pattern. The device stays with the customer, so the repeat purchase is the pod, and it has to be a pod that fits the device they already own. That gives the shop that sold the kit a natural reason for the customer to return.

For retailers, this has a few practical effects:

•          Repeat footfall. In principle the pod is the repeat purchase, so each customer can generate more transactions over time than a one-off disposable ever did.

•          Compact stock. Pod packs are small and easy to store and display compared with a full device range.

•          A format the market has moved to. Reusable, rechargeable devices with replaceable pods are what replaced disposables on UK shelves. You should still ask your supplier for compliance paperwork on every product you stock.

If you are still working out how to replace former disposable lines, the supplier’s disposable vape alternatives collection groups compliant kit formats in one place. For a view of IVG kits only, the IVG prefilled kits collection is the quickest route.

Flavour range and how to manage stock depth

The IVG Pro 5K is listed in 52 flavours, which is one of the larger spreads you will find on a single kit. The list covers fruit blends such as Double Mango, Kiwi Passionfruit Guava and Strawberry Watermelon, ice variants including Banana Ice, Peach Ice and Pineapple Ice, lemonades such as Pink Lemonade and Blackcurrant Lemonade, fizzy and sour profiles like Fizzy Cherry Cola and Blue Sour Raspberry, and menthol, mint and tobacco options including Classic Menthol, Spearmint and Tobacco for customers who want something more traditional.

That is a great position to be in, and it also creates the classic stocking problem. Too many flavours spreads your money thin, and too few sends customers to the next shop. A sensible approach is to start with a compact spread of eight to ten flavours that covers the main taste families: two or three fruit blends, two or three ice flavours, one lemonade, one sour, one menthol or mint and one tobacco. Use your own till data to decide what to reorder.

Because both kits and pods come in packs of five, you can rebalance quickly after the first couple of weeks rather than sitting on slow lines. Keep a note of the flavours customers ask for by name. Requests you cannot fill are the best guide to what to add next, and a 52-flavour list means there is usually something to add.

Presentation matters too. Display vaping products responsibly and keep them away from anything that could appeal to under-18s.

Pairing the kit with refill pods

A kit on its own is a single sale. A kit with the right pods behind it is a customer relationship. When you place a kit order, plan the matching pod order at the same time, in the same flavours. The IVG Pro 5K prefilled pods are listed in packs of five at £14.99 (8 October 2026), so the cost of keeping a handful of popular flavours on the shelf is manageable. The wider IVG refill pods collection shows every IVG pod the supplier lists.

Pods are made for specific devices, so sell the pod that is listed for the 5K kit rather than assuming it will fit another IVG model. A short line on the shelf edge or at the till, saying which pod belongs to which kit, saves staff time and avoids returns. If you stock several kits across brands, the prefilled pods collection is a handy place to check you have the right pod for each device.

It also helps to brief staff on the basics: how to swap a pod, how to charge the device, and what to do with a finished pod or a worn-out kit. Rechargeable devices count as electrical waste, so check your obligations under the WEEE rules on take-back and recycling before you start selling them.

Where it sits in the IVG range?

IVG sells kits at several price points and puff ratings. On 8 October 2026 the supplier listed these side by side:

•          IVG Pro 5K kit: £14.99 per box of 5

•          IVG Pro 12 prefilled pod kit: £23.99 per pack of 5

•          IVG Smart Max 10K prefilled pod kit: £23.99 per pack of 5

•          IVG Nexio 10K pod vape kit: £25.99 per box of 5

The 5K is the entry point and has the lowest box price of the four. The higher-rated models cost more per box and suit customers who want fewer pod changes. Remember that every puff figure is a manufacturer’s rating, so treat the numbers as a rough comparison rather than a guarantee. Stocking one budget kit and one higher-rated kit lets you answer “what is the difference?” in a sentence at the till, and it gives customers a clear upgrade path. The full IVG wholesale range also includes nic salts and e-liquids if you want to see everything the brand offers in one place.

A practical compliance checklist for UK retailers

Rules around vaping products are detailed and still changing, so treat this as a starting point rather than legal advice, and check GOV.UK and your local Trading Standards team for current requirements.

•          Age of sale. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18, and illegal to buy them on behalf of someone under 18. Carry out age verification on every sale.

•          Notification. Nicotine vaping products must be notified to the MHRA before they can be sold in the UK. Ask your supplier for evidence.

•          Limits and labelling. Nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml and pod or tank capacity at 2ml. Packaging must carry the required health warning and product information.

•          Marketing. Advertising and promotion of nicotine vapes to the public is heavily restricted in the UK. Keep promotion to trade channels and in-store information, and avoid health claims.

•          Waste. Check your WEEE responsibilities for rechargeable devices and batteries.

•          Records. Keep invoices and supplier documentation for every product line.

Final thoughts

Since the disposable ban, the retailers doing best tend to be the ones who treat vaping as a repeat-purchase category rather than a one-off sale. The IVG Pro 5K is a straightforward way to do that: a recognisable brand, a low entry price per box, an exceptionally wide flavour choice and pods that bring customers back. Start with a tight spread of flavours, order the matching pods alongside the kits, and let your own sales data tell you where to go next. If you want to review the range, you can buy IVG Pro 5K kits wholesale and compare them against the rest of the IVG line.
