Updated September 2026: This page now focuses on the trade-offs that matter in normal use. The winner is the one that suits you, not the one with the longest feature list.

The DOJO Blast 10K and IVG Smart MAX 10K both use rechargeable 1000mAh devices with replaceable prefilled packs and up-to-10,000-puff ratings. On a shelf, that makes them look like near twins. In use, they have different personalities.

The DOJO keeps controls minimal. The Smart MAX adds a display and Eco/Boost modes for adults who want more feedback and a little adjustment.

Quick answer: Choose DOJO for a compact fixed-power experience with COREX BLAST dual mesh. Choose IVG Smart MAX if you want a screen, Eco/Boost modes and 12ml of e-liquid in total. OB Vape stocks replacement packs for both devices.

Simplicity vs Extra Control

The DOJO is the easier device for somebody who wants to insert a pack and inhale without learning modes. The Smart MAX gives more visible information and lets the user choose between a more economical setting and a stronger-output mode.

If menus make you happy, Smart MAX has the edge. If menus make you sigh before you have even made the tea, DOJO is likely the calmer option.


Flavour Systems

DOJO uses Vaporesso's COREX BLAST dual-mesh coil and its own DOJO flavour range. Smart MAX uses IVG's mesh-coil refill system and IVG flavours.

Both are proprietary. The refill packs are not cross-compatible, so choose the range you will be comfortable buying again.


Capacity and Puff Claims

Smart MAX carries 12ml in total compared with the DOJO's 10ml. Both are rated for up to 10,000 puffs, showing why puff counts should be treated as controlled ratings rather than simple liquid-to-number arithmetic.

Actual use varies with draw length, mode and frequency.


Best For

  • DOJO: adults who want a compact Vaporesso device with no modes to change
  • Smart MAX: adults who value a screen, two modes and the IVG refill range
  • Either: people who want prefilled convenience while reusing the battery
  • Neither: people who want to use bottled liquid and choose their own pod resistance
