IVG Bar 2400 vs IVG Smart Max: Which IVG Disposable Should You Buy in the UK?

Two Good Vapes, One Real Question

Both the IVG Bar 2400 and the IVG Smart Max 10K sit at the same price point, come from the same brand, and are both fully TPD-compliant in the UK. So why does picking between them trip so many people up?

The honest answer is that they solve different problems. The 2400 is built around variety — four flavours loaded into one device at once, switchable with a twist. The Smart Max is built around longevity — a single flavour that lasts up to 10,000 puffs through an auto-refill system. Neither is objectively better. But one is almost certainly better for you, depending on how you actually vape.

This comparison covers every spec that matters: puff count, flavour range, battery, pricing, and the real-world difference between the two systems. Both are available at VapeOnlineStore.co.uk with fast UK delivery.

Specs at a Glance

The gap in puff count is the most obvious difference, but it tells only part of the story.

IVG Bar 2400: Four Flavours, One Device

The IVG 2400 is probably the most distinctive prefilled pod kit on the UK market right now. It packs four separate 2ml pods into a single cylindrical body — each pod has its own mesh coil, its own flavour, and its own 600 puffs. A simple twist of the mouthpiece rotates between them without removing anything.

The IVG 2400 is a 4-in-1 prefilled pod kit with 2,400 puffs total, a 1,750mAh battery, 20mg nic salt, and a twist-to-switch system that lets you rotate between four flavours without removing a single pod. That battery figure matters more than it might seem: the 1,750mAh is big enough to power all four pods on a single charge — nearly double the battery of the SKE Crystal 4in1 at 950mAh.

Flavour variety is where the 2400 genuinely stands out. It comes in 55+ flavour options — 45 multi-flavour edition kits plus 10 single flavour kits — which is one of the widest ranges of any prefilled pod kit in the UK. IVG groups these into themed editions, so you might pick the Blue Edition (Blue Raspberry Ice, Blueberry Fusion, Ice Pop, Professor Blue) or the Strawberry Edition (Strawberry Ice, Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Watermelon Fusion, Strawberry Raspberry Ice). IVG has over 50 editions for the 2400, with each edition containing four related flavours.

Because each pod has its own dedicated mesh coil, flavour quality does not degrade as you rotate between pods — a detail worth knowing if you’ve ever experienced flavour bleed on other multi-pod systems.

Pros of the IVG Bar 2400:

• Four flavours in one device, switchable instantly
• Massive 1,750mAh battery — survives all four pods on one charge
• 55+ edition choices, the widest range of any comparable UK kit
• Reload pods available for ongoing use (~£3.49 per set)
• Draw-activated, no buttons, exactly like a disposable

Cons:

• Only 2,400 puffs total before you need a new device or reload pods
• Single power mode — no Eco/Boost control
• No display screen
• USB-C cable not included in the box

IVG Smart Max 10K: One Flavour, Much Longer

The Smart Max takes a different approach entirely. It gives up to 10,000 puffs through an auto-refill system where a 2ml pod clicks into a 10ml reservoir. The 10ml container sits below the pod and feeds e-liquid into it automatically as you vape — the auto-refill system feeds liquid from the container into the 2ml pod automatically, with no squeezing bottles, no dripping, no mess.

The dual power mode is one of the Smart Max’s more useful features. Eco Mode runs at lower power for longer battery life and more puffs from each set, while Boost Mode runs at higher wattage for stronger flavour and thicker clouds. Three quick puffs toggles between them. The device remembers your last setting, so you don’t have to switch every time you pick it up.

Each refill includes a 2ml pod and a 10ml e-liquid container, powered by a rechargeable 1,000mAh battery, delivering up to 10,000 puffs per refill. The 1,000mAh battery is smaller than the 2400’s 1,750mAh, but it’s designed to last through the full refill cycle on a single charge. For an average vaper doing 200 to 300 puffs per day, that’s 4 to 7 weeks per pod set. Heavy vapers may go through a set in 2 to 3 weeks.

Flavour range is solid — over 30 flavours available in both 10mg and 20mg nic salt, covering fruit, menthol, fizzy, and ice options, with IVG regularly adding new flavours to the range. The 10mg option is worth noting: the 2400 only comes in 20mg, so if you prefer a lighter nicotine strength, the Smart Max is the only one of the two that gives you that choice.

At VapeOnlineStore.co.uk, the Smart Max 10K is available with a 3 for £27 deal, making it one of the better-value high-puff options in the IVG range.

Pros of the IVG Smart Max 10K:

• 10,000 puffs per refill set — roughly 4x the 2400’s capacity
• Dual Eco/Boost modes with LED screen
• Available in 10mg and 20mg nic salt
• Auto-refill system keeps the coil saturated without manual topping up
• Refill packs at ~£5.99 for another 10,000 puffs

Cons:

• One flavour per refill — no in-device flavour switching
• Smaller 1,000mAh battery vs the 2400’s 1,750mAh
• Narrower flavour selection (30+ vs 55+)
• USB-C cable not included

Pricing and Value: What You’re Actually Paying Per Puff

Both devices sit at a similar entry price, but the ongoing costs diverge once you look at cost-per-puff.

For the IVG Bar 2400, you can buy it for around £10.99 on vapeonlinestore.co.uk. Reload pods from around £3.49 bring the ongoing cost down to as low as 0.15p per puff. The 2400 is also available in a box of 10 for £69.99 at VapeOnlineStore, which works out to roughly £7 per device — solid value if you’re buying in bulk or stocking up on different editions.

For the IVG Smart Max 10K, the starter kit is £9.99 at VapeOnlineStore (3 for £27), and replacement refill packs deliver up to 10,000 puffs at £5.99 each. At roughly £0.0016 per puff, that’s far cheaper than standard disposables while offering reliable performance.

Put simply: the Smart Max costs less per puff over time. But if you vape lightly, switch flavours constantly, or want to try multiple editions before committing, the 2400 is the more flexible option without locking you into one flavour for weeks.

Who Should Buy Which?

Buy the IVG Bar 2400 if:

• You get bored of one flavour quickly and want to switch mid-session
• You’re trying IVG for the first time and want to sample multiple flavours cheaply
• You vape lightly to moderately and don’t need 10,000 puffs from a single device
• You want the biggest possible battery in a compact device
• You travel and want variety without carrying multiple kits

Buy the IVG Smart Max 10K if:

• You’ve found a flavour you stick to and want it to last as long as possible
• You want lower ongoing cost per puff
• You prefer 10mg nic salt (the 2400 doesn’t offer this)
• You like having a display screen and dual power modes
• You’re a heavier vaper who’d burn through 2,400 puffs in a few days

There’s a third scenario worth mentioning: the 2400 is great for those who enjoy variety, with rotating pods allowing flavour experimentation without buying multiple devices, while the Smart Max is a durable, mid-level option for balanced cost and performance. Both are fully TPD-compliant and legal in the UK post the June 2025 disposable ban.

If you’re still deciding, VapeOnlineStore stocks the full IVG range — both the IVG 2400 and the IVG Smart Max 10K — with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3:30pm Monday to Friday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use IVG 2400 pods in the Smart Max? No. The Smart Max replacement pods are made exclusively for the IVG Smart Max 10K vape kit and cannot be used with other devices. The two systems are entirely separate.

Which has better flavour quality? Both use mesh coil technology. The 2400 has a dedicated mesh coil per pod, which means no flavour mixing between pods. The Smart Max uses a 0.8Ω mesh coil with an auto-refill system that keeps the coil saturated without you doing anything, meaning consistent flavour right to the end.

Is the IVG 2400 still legal in the UK after the disposable vape ban? The IVG 2400 4-in-1 is fully TPD compliant and MHRA-approved, remaining completely legal in the UK even after the June 2025 disposable vape ban. It’s a reusable, rechargeable device with replaceable pods — not a single-use disposable.

What nicotine strengths are available? The IVG 2400 comes in 20mg nic salt only. The IVG Smart Max includes a built-in mesh coil 2ml pod and 10ml auto-refilling e-liquid container, available in both IVG’s premium 10mg and 20mg nic salts.

How long does each last? The IVG 2400 disposable vape kit can last 3–5 days, depending on usage. The Smart Max lasts considerably longer — for an average vaper doing 200 to 300 puffs per day, that’s 4 to 7 weeks.
