All IVG Smart Max refill packs run on 20mg nic salt with a built-in mesh coil and an auto-refill container that feeds the 2ml pod while you vape.

IVG Smart 5500 Refill Pods - The Upgrade
If you're searching for IVG Smart 5500 refill pods, this is where they've gone. IVG replaced the Smart 5500 disposable with the Smart Max refill kit and pods. Same brand, same flavour recipes, but you're not throwing the whole vape away when the liquid runs out. You buy the IVG Smart Max pod kit once and just keep swapping in fresh IVG refill packs.
IVG Smart 5500 pods gave you around 5,500 puffs from a single-use unit. IVG Smart Max pods give you approximately 10,000 puffs (10k) from 12ml of e-liquid, and you just swap the pod when it's done. Your IVG Smart 5500 refillable pods are now IVG Smart Max refill pods, and the rechargeable kit itself is reusable. People searching for IVG Smart refill pods or an IVG Smart Max refill kit land here because everything moved to the Smart Max range.

How IVG Smart Max Pods Work
Each IVG Smart Max refill pod has two parts: a 2ml prefilled pod on top and a 10ml auto-refill container underneath. As you vape, liquid feeds up from the container into the pod on its own. You don't touch anything once it's clicked in.
That 12ml total gives you approximately 10,000 puffs per pod. Real-world usage sits around 7 to 10 days for most vapers, though heavier users might get through one in 4 or 5 days. Puff counts depend on draw length and how often you vape.

Setting Up a New IVG Smart Max Pod
Charge the Smart Max kit through USB-C before first use
Take the pod and container out of the packaging
Peel off the protective stickers and remove the red stoppers
Rotate the red stopper on the container anti-clockwise to open
Press the 2ml pod into the 10ml container until it clicks
Drop the combined unit into your Smart Max kit
Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the coil to soak before your first draw
Auto-draw means there's no button. Just inhale and it fires. When the pod runs dry, pull the old one out and click a fresh IVG Smart Max pod in. No priming needed on replacement pods, just the 2 to 3 minute wait on your very first one.
Boost Mode on IVG Smart Max
Take three quick puffs in a row to turn boost mode on. Three more quick puffs to turn it off. Standard mode gives you a regular MTL draw. Boost mode pushes more vapour and a stronger flavour hit.
Most vapers keep it on standard for day-to-day use and flick boost on when they want a bit more from it. The battery lasts longer in standard mode too.

Can you refill IVG Smart Max pods with your own e-liquid?
No. IVG Smart Max pods are sealed prefilled units. You can't open them or top them up with your own liquid. When the pod runs out, you swap it for a new IVG Smart Max refill pod. The "refill" bit in the name refers to the auto-refill container that feeds the 2ml pod while you vape.
Do IVG Smart Max pods replace the IVG Smart 5500?
Yes. IVG discontinued the Smart 5500 disposable and replaced it with the Smart Max kit and refill pods. Same flavours, same 20mg nic salt, but nearly double the puffs and you keep the kit instead of binning it. IVG Smart 5500 refill pods are now IVG Smart Max pods.
How long does an IVG Smart Max pod last?
Each IVG Smart Max pod gives you approximately 10,000 puffs from 12ml of e-liquid. That's about 7 to 10 days for an average vaper. Actual puff count varies with draw length and how often you use it through the day.
How many puffs do IVG Smart Max 10k pods give you?
Approximately 10,000 puffs per pod. The 10ml auto-refill container feeds the 2ml pod as you go, giving you 12ml total. Heavier vapers might get closer to 8,000, lighter vapers could push past 10k. It depends on your vaping style.
How do you activate boost mode on IVG Smart Max?
Three quick puffs in a row turns boost mode on. Three more quick puffs turns it off again. Boost gives you more vapour and a stronger flavour hit compared to standard MTL mode. You can switch back and forth as many times as you like.
What flavours do IVG Smart Max pods come in?
Over 20 flavours including Blue Razz Lemonade, Watermelon Strawberry, Classic Menthol, and Triple Mango. The full IVG Smart Max pod flavours list matches the old Smart 5500 range. All flavours are £5.99 per prefilled pod refill.
Do IVG Smart Max pods work with other IVG kits?
No. IVG Smart Max replacement pods only fit the IVG Smart Max kit. They won't go in the IVG 2400, the IVG Pro 12, or any other kit. Different pod shapes and connections on each one.
