IVG Nexio Vape vs IVG Pro 12 Vape

Both the IVG Nexio Vape and IVG Pro 12 Vape have been designed to make the move away from disposable vapes as straightforward as possible. They combine rechargeable batteries with prefilled, auto-refilling pod systems, deliver smooth 20mg nic salts and remove the need for messy refills or coil changes.

On paper, there's very little separating them. Both feature a 1000mAh rechargeable battery, mesh coil technology and inhale activation, while promising consistent flavour from the first puff to the last. So, which one should you choose?

The answer depends less on the specifications and more on the kind of vaping experience you're looking for. In this guide, we'll compare the two devices side by side, looking beyond the headline features to help you decide which IVG vape kit is the better fit for your everyday vaping.

Looking purely at the specifications, it's easy to see why these two kits are often compared. Both offer the same simple draw-activated experience and are built around IVG's auto-refilling pod system. The biggest differences come down to the finer details, including liquid capacity, flavour range and the overall feel of the device in everyday use.

Although they're closely related, the two kits have slightly different personalities.

The IVG Nexio feels like the more premium device. IVG has clearly focused on refining the overall experience, with a clean, modern design, an LED screen that displays your battery as a percentage and a comfortable ridged finish that feels secure in the hand. It has the look and feel of a flagship device that's been designed to be used every day.

The IVG Pro 12, meanwhile, takes a more practical approach. It's compact, lightweight and built around one simple idea: delivering maximum puffs with minimum fuss. The LED battery indicator gives you enough information to keep track of your charge, while the larger refill container means you'll spend slightly less time replacing refill packs.

Neither approach is better than the other. If you appreciate a more refined device with a premium finish, the Nexio has the edge. If you're looking for straightforward performance and excellent value, the Pro 12 remains a fantastic option.

When it comes to flavour, there's very little separating these two devices. Both use high-quality mesh coils that heat the e-liquid evenly, helping to produce consistent flavour and a smooth mouth-to-lung inhale throughout the life of each refill. Whether you're choosing fruit, menthol, drinks or candy-inspired blends, both kits deliver the clean, punchy flavour that IVG has become known for.

From our experience, the difference isn't really in the hardware. It's in the flavours available. The IVG Pro 12 currently offers a a larger flavour range, including newer additions such as Cola Frost, Rainbow Burst and Pineapple Tropic, while the Nexio introduces several exclusive blends alongside many of IVG's established favourites.

If flavour variety is your main priority, both devices give you plenty of choice, and you'll find detailed flavour breakdowns in our dedicated IVG flavour guide.

One of the biggest strengths shared by both kits is IVG's auto-refilling pod system.

Each device uses a replaceable 2ml prefilled pod that clicks into a larger refill container, automatically keeping the pod topped up while you vape. There's no pouring e-liquid, replacing coils or adjusting settings. Once the refill pod pack is empty, you simply swap it for a new one and carry on vaping.

The main difference is capacity. The IVG Pro 12 pairs its pod with a larger 10ml refill container, while the IVG Nexio uses an 8ml refill container, giving it a combined capacity of 10ml.

In day-to-day use, however, we don't think this creates a huge difference. Both systems are quick to replace, clean to use and far more convenient than manually refilling a traditional pod kit

When you're comparing two vape kit devices from the same brand, value isn't always about which one costs less. It's about what you get for your money and which features you'll actually use.

IVG Nexio

Best for vapers who want:

●    A more premium-looking device.
●    A battery percentage display rather than a simple indicator.
●    IVG's newest pod platform.
●    Modern styling with an ergonomic grip.

IVG Pro 12

Best for vapers who want:

●    The largest e-liquid capacity.
●    The widest flavour selection.
●    A tried-and-tested everyday vape.
●    Great performance with minimal fuss.

Both represent excellent value, but they'll appeal to slightly different people.

This is probably the question we're asked most often, and the answer usually depends on what someone is upgrading from.

If you're moving away from disposable vapes and simply want something that's reliable, familiar and packed with flavour, you won't go wrong with either device. Both remove the hassle of filling pods or replacing coils, and both deliver the smooth mouth-to-lung inhale that many former disposable users are looking for.

Where they begin to differ is in the finer details. We'd generally recommend the IVG Nexio if you like a more premium feel and appreciate little quality-of-life features, such as the battery percentage display. It feels like IVG's next step forward in terms of design and overall refinement.

The IVG Pro 12 still earns its place thanks to its larger refill capacity and broader flavour selection. If you're looking for a dependable everyday device that keeps things simple, it's easy to see why it's remained one of IVG's most popular kits.

After spending time with both devices, we don't think this is a case of one being better than the other. The IVG Pro 12 helped establish IVG as one of the leading names in rechargeable prefilled pod kits, and it still offers excellent performance, fantastic flavour and outstanding value.

The IVG Nexio builds on that foundation rather than replacing it. The updated design, improved display and more premium feel make it a natural choice for anyone who likes the IVG experience but wants something that feels a little more refined in everyday use.

If we had to choose, we'd probably lean towards the IVG Nexio for its overall user experience. That said, if flavour variety and maximum e-liquid capacity are your priorities, the IVG Pro 12 remains an excellent option that continues to justify its popularity.

Whether you decide on the IVG Nexio Vape Kit or the IVG Pro 12 Vape Kit, both deliver the simple, reliable experience that's made IVG one of the UK's most popular vape brands.
