| Error Code | Meaning | Fix |

IVG Pro E2 Error Code – How to Fix It
The E2 error is the most common issue with IVG Pro devices.
It means the device is not properly detecting the pod.
Causes:
- Pod not fully inserted
- Dirty or wet contact points
- Condensation or e-liquid leakage
- Worn or faulty pod
Fix:
- Remove the pod
- Clean the gold contacts using a dry tissue or cotton bud
- Reinsert the pod firmly
- Try a new pod if the issue continues
In most cases, this resolves the problem instantly.
IVG Pro H3 Error Code – Device Overheating
The H3 error indicates that the device has become too hot.
This is a built-in safety feature to prevent overheating.
Causes:
- Chain vaping
- Charging while using
- Exposure to heat (sunlight, car, etc.)
Fix:
- Stop using the device
- Leave it for 5–10 minutes
- Allow it to cool naturally
- Avoid vaping while charging
Once cooled, the device will return to normal.
IVG Pro X3 Error Code – Pod Not Detected
The X3 error indicates the device cannot read the pod correctly.
This is usually related to resistance detection or poor contact.
Fix:
- Remove and reinsert the pod
- Clean the contact points
- Replace the pod
- Ensure you are using compatible IVG Pro refill pods
If the issue persists, the pod itself is usually the cause.
IVG Pro OP Code – Over Puff Protection
The OP code stands for over-puff protection.
This activates when:
- You take a long inhale
- You vape repeatedly in quick succession
Fix:
- Wait 20–30 seconds
- Take shorter puffs
This is normal and not a fault.
Why Is My IVG Pro Not Charging?
If your IVG Pro isn’t charging properly, check the following:
- USB-C cable is working
- Charging plug is functional
- Charging port is clean (no dust or lint)
- Device shows battery indicator
Quick Fix:
- Clean the charging port gently
- Try a different cable or plug
- Avoid using fast chargers
Charging issues are often caused by cables rather than the device itself.
IVG Pro Not Working? Full Troubleshooting Checklist
If your device is not working but showing no error code, run through this checklist:
