If you have been browsing the Vape Desires prefilled pod kit range and found yourself hovering between the IVG 2400 and the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000, you are in good company. These two devices are among our most frequently compared, and the question of which one to go for comes up in our customer queries constantly.
They are both excellent devices, genuinely. But they are built around very different ideas about what a prefilled pod kit should do, and the one that suits you better depends entirely on how you vape, not on which is objectively superior. This comparison covers every angle, gives you an honest head-to-head, and ends with a clear guide to which type of vaper each device is best suited to.
The UK market is regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR). These rules set limits on nicotine strength, bottle sizes, tank capacity and product safety. You can review official legislation on GOV.UK
IVG 2400: The Four-Flavour Rotary System
-
Design and Build
The IVG 2400 is immediately distinctive among prefilled pod kits because it holds four pods simultaneously in a circular carousel arrangement. You rotate the device by twisting the top section to switch between the four pods without removing or replacing anything. The total puff count of approximately 2,400 puffs refers to the combined capacity across all four pods at roughly 600 puffs each.
The body is noticeably larger than most pod kits, which is the unavoidable consequence of housing four pods. In the hand it is comfortable to hold, more like gripping a wide cylindrical remote control than a pen. In a trouser pocket it is bulky. In a jacket pocket or bag it is fine. The build quality feels solid and the twist mechanism on well-maintained devices is satisfying to use.
-
Flavour Performance
IVG has built a strong reputation in the UK vaping market and the 2400 pod range reflects that. Menthol and ice profiles are consistently clean and accurate, with a proper coolness rather than the faint suggestion of mint that some brands offer. Fruit profiles like Pink Lemonade and Blueberry are well balanced. The ability to rotate between four different flavours on a single device is genuinely useful for anyone who finds committing to one flavour for the day limiting.
-
Battery and Charging
Battery life on the IVG 2400 is sufficient for a full day of moderate vaping for most users. Charging is via USB-C on newer versions, which is the standard you want. Older versions used Micro-USB, so if you are buying second-hand or from old stock, check the specification. Charge time is approximately 60 to 90 minutes from low to full.
Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000: Slim, Long-Lasting, Focused
-
Design and Build
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 takes an almost opposite approach to the IVG 2400. It is a single-pod device, slim enough to sit comfortably between two fingers, with a straightforward insert-and-vape design. There is no rotation, no multi-pod system, and no complexity. You click in one pod and use it until it is done, then replace it.
The form factor is considerably more pocketable than the IVG 2400. The rubberised finish on most variants gives it a secure grip, and the slim profile means it genuinely disappears into a pocket without the bulge that wider devices create. For vapers who want something discreet, this matters.
-
Flavour Performance
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 pod range covers the standard high-demand profiles well. Strawberry Ice, Watermelon Ice, Blue Razz Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Mango, and Blueberry are all consistently popular among Vape Desires customers. Flavour consistency is one of the Hayati's strengths: because it uses a single pod with a mesh coil design, the heating is even and the flavour quality remains consistent from the first draw to the last, without the drop-off that some cheaper pod designs exhibit toward the end of pod life.
-
Battery and Charging
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 has a larger battery capacity than the IVG 2400 despite the slimmer body, which is a notable engineering achievement. For a moderate vaper it comfortably lasts a full day and typically into the second day before needing a charge. USB-C charging is fast, reaching full in approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

Real-World Usage: What Customers Actually Say
From the pattern of what gets reordered at Vape Desires, it is clear that IVG 2400 customers tend to be people who vape socially or who like having different flavours at different times of day. The rotary system genuinely gets used rather than being a novelty that gets ignored after the first week.
Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 customers are more often committed daily vapers who have found a flavour they like and want a device that delivers it consistently for as long as possible before they need to think about it again. The longer pod life means fewer points of friction in the day-to-day vaping routine.
Both devices have very low return and complaint rates in our experience, which tells you that the quality control on both is solid. This is not a case of one being obviously better. It is genuinely a case of different tools for different habits.
Value Assessment
Both devices sit in a similar retail price range. Where they differ on value is in how you calculate ongoing cost. The IVG 2400 requires pod replacements at approximately 600 puffs per pod, meaning a heavy vaper could go through more than one set of pods per day. The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 at 6,000 puffs per pod means the same heavy vaper replaces pods far less frequently.
Over a month of heavy vaping, the Hayati typically works out cheaper in ongoing pod costs. Over a month of moderate vaping, the difference is smaller. At Vape Desires, both devices have replacement pods in stock so you are never left without a refill option regardless of which you choose.
Who Should Choose Which?
Choose the IVG 2400 if you like variety and want to switch between flavours without swapping pods. If you tend to vape one thing in the morning and something else in the afternoon, or if you find committing to a single flavour for a whole pod tedious, the four-pod rotary system is built around your habits.
Choose the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 if you have a flavour you are happy with, you want a slimmer device, and you want the fewest possible interruptions to your vaping routine. The longer pod life, better battery, and slim profile make it the more practical everyday device for most vapers.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use IVG pods in the Hayati device or vice versa?
No. IVG 2400 pods are designed specifically for the IVG 2400 device and are not compatible with the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000, or any other brand's device. Pods are brand and model specific. Always buy replacement pods listed as compatible with your specific device. Both sets of replacement pods are available at Vape Desires.
-
Is the IVG 2400 or Hayati better for an ex-smoker?
Both are suitable for ex-smokers transitioning from cigarettes. The tight mouth-to-lung draw on both devices mimics the cigarette inhalation style that ex-smokers are used to. The Hayati's slimmer form factor and the ability to stick with one flavour makes it slightly more intuitive as a cigarette replacement for many people, but the IVG 2400 is equally effective at delivering nicotine satisfaction.
-
How do I know when to replace a pod in either device?
On the IVG 2400, you rotate to a fresh pod when one is done. On the Hayati, you will notice reduced vapour production, a weaker draw, or a slight change in flavour quality as the pod nears empty. When you notice any of these signs, swap the pod. Continuing to vape on a nearly empty pod can result in a dry or burnt taste.
-
Are both devices fully TPD compliant?
Yes. Both the IVG 2400 and the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000, along with their replacement pods, are fully compliant with UK TPD regulations enforced by the MHRA. The pods contain a maximum of 2ml of nicotine salt e-liquid at 20mg maximum concentration.
-
Where can I buy replacement pods for both devices?
Vape Desires stocks replacement pods for both the IVG 2400 and the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000. You will find them in the Replacement Pods section of the website. Buying from a verified UK retailer ensures you receive genuine manufacturer pods rather than counterfeit products.
