Hayati Pro Max Plus Prefilled Pod Kit

What a Hayati Pro Max Plus kit actually is

A Pro Max Plus prefilled pod kit is a complete, ready-to-use product. Open the box and you get a rechargeable battery device with a prefilled pod already fitted, plus a charging cable. There is nothing to assemble, no e-liquid to buy separately, no coil to prime by hand and no settings to configure. Take it out, let it stand for a couple of minutes, and draw on the mouthpiece.

That description matters because the word "kit" is used loosely across the vaping trade. Here it means exactly one thing: device plus prefilled pod, sold together at £7.99. If you already own a Pro Max Plus device and you only need liquid, you want a replacement pod at £5.49 instead, and you will find the same flavour list there. Buying a kit when you needed a pod is the most common ordering mistake we see, and it costs £2.50 a time.

Every product on this page is sold to adults aged 18 and over in the UK only.

Why this is the range most people start with

Eighty-eight kits sit in this collection, which is the deepest flavour list Hayati offers in a single range. It is also the range with the best balance of pod size against price: 12ml of liquid for £7.99 in kit form, dropping to £5.49 once you are only buying refills. The Mini Ultra is cheaper per unit but far smaller per pod; the Pro Ultra Plus holds nearly twice as much liquid but costs half as much again. The Pro Max Plus sits in the middle and stays there, which is why it moves the most volume.

Full specification

• Format: prefilled pod kit — rechargeable device supplied with a prefilled pod fitted
• Battery: 850mAh internal lithium-ion cell, USB-C rechargeable
• Pod liquid volume: 12ml total — a 2ml vaping chamber plus a 10ml sealed reserve
• Rated output: 6000 puffs (manufacturer test figure)
• Nicotine: 20mg/ml nicotine salt as standard; 10mg and zero-nicotine kits also listed
• Activation: draw-activated, no fire button
• Draw style: restricted mouth-to-lung
• Coil: integrated mesh, non-serviceable, sealed within the pod
• Price: £7.99 per kit across the flavour range

Two variants extend the range at either end of the nicotine scale. The 10mg Pro Max Plus kit and the zero-nicotine Pro Max Plus kit are both listed in Banana Ice at the same £7.99. Separately, there is a smaller Pro Max Plus 4000 kit carrying 7ml rated at 4000 puffs, also at £7.99, for people who want the same device format with less liquid committed to a single flavour.

How the device works, part by part

Understanding the mechanism is worth ten minutes because almost every problem people bring us with a prefilled pod device traces back to one of four parts behaving normally in a way the owner did not expect.

The battery body

Inside the shell is an 850mAh lithium-ion cell, a small control board, a USB-C charging port and an airflow channel that runs from an inlet on the body up to the pod. The board does three jobs: it detects a draw, it regulates the current delivered to the coil so that output stays consistent as the cell voltage drops, and it protects the cell against over-discharge, over-charge and short circuits. A regulated board is the reason a Pro Max Plus delivers a broadly similar draw at 20 per cent charge as it does at 90 per cent, right up to the point where it cuts out.

The draw sensor

There is no button. Sitting in the airflow channel is a pressure-sensitive diaphragm, mechanically similar to a small microphone element. When you inhale, air moves past it and the pressure on one side drops. The board reads that change and closes the circuit. Stop drawing and the circuit opens. There is a maximum firing duration built in — typically a few seconds — after which the board cuts power regardless, which is both a safety measure and the reason very long draws feel like they tail off.

Two practical consequences follow. First, anything that blocks the air inlet stops the sensor seeing a pressure change, so a device with a lint-blocked inlet behaves exactly like a dead one even though the battery is full. Second, pressure changes that are not you — a device rattling around in a bag, or a sudden squeeze in a tight pocket — can briefly trigger it.

Airflow, resistance and why the draw feels like it does

The airflow path on a Pro Max Plus is deliberately narrow. Air enters through an inlet on the body, passes the draw sensor, travels up around the coil where it picks up vapour, and exits through the mouthpiece. Because the channel is tight, the draw has real resistance to it — closer to pulling on a straw than breathing through an open tube. That restriction is not a limitation, it is the design: it produces the mouth-to-lung style the pod and its nicotine salt liquid are formulated around. You take vapour into the mouth first, hold it briefly, then inhale.

If you have come from a high-wattage sub-ohm tank you will find this tighter and cooler than you are used to, and the vapour volume smaller. That is the correct behaviour for the format. If you want an airier draw, you are looking at different hardware rather than a different flavour, and the refillable kits give you more room to influence it.

Why the draw stays consistent as the battery drains

A raw lithium cell drops from roughly 4.2 volts when full to about 3.2 volts when flat. Fed directly to a coil, that would mean a noticeably weaker vape as the day went on. The control board in a Pro Max Plus regulates output instead, holding power delivery to the coil steady across most of the discharge curve and then cutting out when the cell reaches its protection threshold. The practical consequence is that the device gives you very little warning: it feels normal, then it stops. Treat the charge indicator rather than the taste as your guide to when to plug in.

The pod, the coil and the cotton

The pod is a sealed plastic body holding the liquid and, at its base, a mesh coil surrounded by organic cotton. Mesh means a perforated metal strip rather than a wound wire. The strip has a large, even surface area in contact with the cotton, so it warms the wick uniformly instead of creating a handful of hot spots. In a pod you cannot open, clean or re-wick, that evenness is the difference between a pod that tastes consistent for its whole life and one that goes flat at the halfway mark.

The cotton draws liquid from the chamber through feed slots in the pod body. Those slots are sized for a moderate mouth-to-lung rhythm. Draw far faster than that and the cotton cannot resupply the mesh quickly enough, which produces a dry, sharp taste. Leave the device standing upside down in a hot car and the thinned liquid can move the other way, past the cotton and into the airflow channel.

The contacts

Where pod meets device, two contacts complete the circuit. They are exposed, they are small, and they are the part most likely to pick up a film of condensed liquid over a pod's life. A dry wipe with a cotton bud every time you change pods takes five seconds and prevents most intermittent-firing complaints.

The 2ml chamber and the 10ml sealed reserve

This is the single most misunderstood thing about high-capacity prefilled pods in the UK, and it deserves a plain explanation.

What the law requires

UK rules cap the capacity of the chamber you vape from at 2ml, cap nicotine strength at 20mg/ml, and cap nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles at 10ml. Those are hard limits. A Pro Max Plus meets all three.

How 12ml fits inside those limits

The pod is built as two compartments. The first is the vaping chamber: 2ml, holding the coil and the cotton, and this is the only part connected to the airflow path. The second is a sealed reserve holding the remaining 10ml. The reserve has no route to the mouthpiece, no opening you can access, and no way for you to draw from it directly. Between the two sits a one-way transfer mechanism — in practice a valve and a vent that equalise pressure as liquid is consumed.

As you vape, the level in the 2ml chamber falls. When it falls far enough, the pressure difference allows a measured amount of liquid to pass from the reserve into the chamber, and the valve closes again once equilibrium is restored. The chamber refills to 2ml and no further. At no point does the chamber you are vaping from hold more than the permitted volume, and at no point can you access the reserve as bulk liquid. That is how a product can honestly carry 12ml and honestly comply with a 2ml limit at the same time.

What this means for you in practice

Three things. First, the pod is not refillable and should not be treated as one — there is no fill port, and puncturing a reserve compartment will leak liquid into the airflow channel and ruin the pod. Second, orientation matters slightly: store pods upright, because the transfer mechanism is designed to work with gravity assisting it. Third, the chamber refills in steps rather than continuously, so a very occasional minor change in intensity as a top-up occurs is normal behaviour, not a fault.

What 6000 puffs means for your week

Puff ratings are laboratory figures produced by a standardised test: a machine takes puffs of a fixed duration at fixed intervals until the liquid is exhausted. They are useful for comparing two similar products and close to useless for predicting your own week, because nobody vapes like a machine.

The variables that actually move the number are draw length, draw strength and frequency. A two-second draw consumes roughly twice the liquid of a one-second draw, so a heavy user taking long pulls may see half the rated figure while a light user taking short ones may exceed it. As a working estimate from what we see across orders, a 12ml Pro Max Plus pod tends to last a moderate daily vaper somewhere between four days and a fortnight. If you want a number you can actually plan around, count how many days your first pod lasts and use that.

The one thing the rating does tell you reliably is relative scale. A 12ml Pro Max Plus pod carries three times the liquid of a 4ml Mini Ultra pod and a little over half that of a 22ml Pro Ultra Plus pod, and those ratios will hold whatever your personal rate turns out to be.

Setting up a new kit properly

The first five minutes with a new kit determine how the pod tastes for its entire life. The instructions are short and worth following exactly.

• Remove the packaging and take off the mouthpiece plug and any base sticker on the pod.
• Check the pod is fully seated in the device. It should sit flush with no gap at the join.
• Leave the kit standing upright for two to three minutes. This lets the cotton saturate fully around the mesh.
• Take the first five or six draws short and gentle, with a few seconds between each. You are warming the coil and settling the wick, not vaping yet.
• Charge the device fully before heavy use if you want to start from a known state, although kits ship with a usable partial charge.

Skipping the rest period is the cause of the overwhelming majority of "my new pod tastes burnt" messages we receive. The cotton immediately against the mesh arrives dry; firing it before liquid reaches it scorches fibres, and scorched cotton does not recover. Two minutes of patience is not optional advice, it is the difference between a good pod and a wasted one.

Changing a pod on a device already in use

Swapping pods is simple but there is a right order to it. Pull the old pod straight out rather than twisting it — the retention is a friction and contact fit, and twisting stresses the seal on the way out. Stand the old pod upright on kitchen roll while you deal with the device. Wipe the device contacts and the inside of the pod bay with a dry cotton bud; a pod that has been in for a week usually leaves a faint film of condensate behind, and that film is the most common cause of a new pod appearing not to fire.

Fit the new pod, press until it is flush, then leave it standing for two or three minutes exactly as you would with a brand-new kit. The rest period applies every time you change a pod, not only on the first one. If you are switching between very different flavour families — mint to mango, say — expect the first few draws to carry a trace of the old one from residue in the airflow path; it clears within a pod or two of draws.

The Pro Max Plus flavour list in full

Eighty-eight kits is more choice than most people can process on a product grid, so here is the whole list organised into families. Every one is £7.99 and every one is 20mg/ml unless noted.

Blue and sour candy

Blue Razz Fruit Twist, Blue Razz Mojito, Blue Razz Lemonade, Blue Razz Pineapple, Blue Razz Cherry, Blue Razz Blackcurrant, Blue Razz GB, Blue Sour Raspberry, Blue Fusion, Blue Frozen, Mad Blue, Mr Blue, Red Sour Raspberry, Cherry Sour Raspberry and Tropical Sour Juice. This is the busiest corner of the range and the one that sells fastest. If you want the reference point, Blue Razz GB is the plain version and everything else is a variation on it. Cross-reference against blueberry raspberry and Mr Blue if you want to see the same profile across other ranges.

Strawberry and red fruit

Smooth Strawberry Ice, Strawberry Raspberry Mojito, Strawberry Guava, Strawberry GB, Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Cherry Cranberry, Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, Strawberry H'Bubba, Mixed Berries, Dragon Berries, Cherry Berry, Fizzy Cherry, Cherry Cola, Cherry Peach Lemon, Blackberry Ice, Blackberry Raspberry, Blueberry Raspberry, Blueberry Raspberry Cherry, Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Blueberry Pomegranate and Blueberry B'Gum. See also strawberry and cherry.

Tropical, stone fruit and melon

Mango Peach Pineapple, Mango Banana, Triple Mango, Blackcurrant Mango, Guava Kiwi Passion Fruit, Kiwi Cooler, Pipeline Punch, Caribb Crush, Lychee Ice, Juicy Peach, Peach Aura, Peach Green Tea, White Peach Raspberry, Pineapple Ice, Pineapple Lemon Burst, Lemon Pineapple, Banana Ice, Triple Melon and Watermelon Ice. Browse the wider exotic and mango collections for the same profiles in other Hayati ranges.

Citrus, lemonade and soft drinks

Berry Lemonade, Blackcurrant Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Lemon Lime, Cola Ice, Cola Lime, Ice Pop, Vim Ice and Rocky Candy Orange. The lemonades are the gentler end of the range and tend to suit people who find the blue candy profiles too sharp. Related: lemonade and cola.

Mint, menthol and tobacco

Fresh Mint, Spearmint, Double Menthol and Smooth Tobacco. Four options, and they are genuinely distinct rather than variations. Fresh Mint is the standard cool mint, Spearmint is sweeter and softer, Double Menthol is the coldest thing in the range with no fruit at all, and Smooth Tobacco is the only non-fruit, non-mint profile in the Pro Max Plus catalogue. Compare across ranges at mint vapes and menthol vapes.

Dark fruit, grape and the outliers

Grape GB, Grape Berry, Sakura Grape, Blackcurrant Juice, Double Apple, Red Apple Ice, Summer Dream, Fruit Twist, Hubba Bubba, Black Mamba, Midnight Dream, Galaxy Aura, Sunset Aura and T-Misu. The last five are worth a note: they are house blends rather than named fruits, so the label tells you very little. Sunset Aura and Peach Aura sit in the soft stone-fruit area, Galaxy Aura and Midnight Dream in the dark berry area, Black Mamba is a sharp mixed berry, and T-Misu is the only dessert-leaning profile in the range. Also see grape, apple and Summer Dream.

Decoding the flavour names

Hayati's naming uses a handful of abbreviations that are not obvious the first time you meet them. "GB" appended to a fruit — Blue Razz GB, Grape GB, Strawberry GB — indicates a gummy-bear style sweet take on that fruit rather than the fruit alone. "B'Gum" and "H'Bubba" both point at bubblegum: Blueberry B'Gum is blueberry bubblegum, Strawberry H'Bubba is the strawberry version of the same idea, and Hubba Bubba is the unadorned bubblegum profile. "Razz" is raspberry, so Blue Razz is blue raspberry, the sweet-shop profile rather than the actual berry.

A few others are worth knowing. "Vim" and "Vimbull" refer to a blackcurrant-and-mixed-fruit soft drink profile. "Mr Blue" is a house blend of blue fruits significant enough to have its own collection. "Aura" and "Dream" names — Sunset Aura, Peach Aura, Galaxy Aura, Midnight Dream, Summer Dream — are Hayati house blends whose names describe the mood rather than the fruit, so read the product description rather than guessing. Knowing this vocabulary makes the eighty-eight-item grid far easier to scan.

Nicotine strength across the Pro Max Plus kit range

The default is 20mg/ml nicotine salt, which is the UK maximum. Nicotine salt is worth understanding here because the number on the label does not translate directly from the freebase liquids used in larger refillable tanks. Salt formulations are notably smoother on the throat at the same concentration, which is what makes 20mg workable in a small mouth-to-lung pod. It also means a 20mg salt pod does not announce itself the way a 20mg freebase liquid would, so pay attention to how much you are using rather than to how it feels.

If 20mg is more than you want, the range offers two lower options in kit form and three in pod form. The 10mg kit and the zero-nicotine kit are both listed in Banana Ice at £7.99. On the pod side there are additionally 5mg pods, so a practical approach is to buy a 20mg or 10mg kit for the device, then run lower-strength replacement pods in it afterwards — the device does not care what strength is in the pod.

Nicotine is an addictive substance. These products are intended for adult smokers and vapers aged 18 or over. If you do not already use nicotine, do not start with these.

Battery life and charging in daily use

How far 850mAh goes

An 850mAh cell paired with a 12ml pod is deliberately unbalanced, and it is unbalanced in the right direction. The liquid is designed to outlast several battery cycles, which is precisely why the device is rechargeable rather than disposable. In ordinary use most people charge a Pro Max Plus somewhere between every day and every other day, and get through a pod in anywhere from three days to a fortnight depending on how heavily they vape.

Charging practice that extends cell life

• Use a standard USB-C cable into a laptop port or a modest phone charger. A high-output fast charger offers no benefit to a cell this size.
• A flat cell typically takes around an hour to reach full.
• Unplug when it finishes rather than leaving it on the cable overnight. Lithium cells age faster held at 100 per cent, especially when warm.
• Charge on a hard surface with air around the device, never on a bed, sofa or under a pillow.
• Do not charge a device that has been dropped hard, has a damaged port, or shows any swelling of the body.

When the battery, not the liquid, is the reason to buy a new kit

Every lithium cell loses capacity with cycles. After many months of daily charging you will notice the device needs charging more often for the same amount of vaping. That is the point at which a fresh kit becomes the better purchase rather than another pod — you are buying a new battery and getting the pod thrown in for £2.50. Until then, pods are the economical choice, and the next section shows why by how much.

Kit or pod? The numbers

The entire buying logic of this range comes down to one comparison, so here it is without decoration.

Purchase	Price	Liquid	Cost per ml	What you also get
Pro Max Plus kit	£7.99	12ml	66.6p	Device, battery, charging cable
Pro Max Plus pod	£5.49	12ml	45.8p	Nothing — refill only
Difference	£2.50	—	20.8p per ml	The device you already own

Read the bottom row as the price of a duplicate battery. If you get through a pod a week and always buy kits, you spend £130 a year against £85 buying pods — £45 of it on devices you already have, plus a drawer of batteries that legally need recycling rather than binning.

Buy the kit when

• You do not yet own a Pro Max Plus device.
• You want a spare charged device so you are never stuck mid-day.
• You want to run two flavours in parallel without swapping pods back and forth.
• Your current device's battery has aged and no longer lasts a useful length of time.
• You are buying as a gift for an adult who does not already have one.

Buy pods when

• You already own the device and it charges and fires normally.
• You are restocking a flavour you already know you like.
• You want to try several flavours without accumulating hardware.

Because UK delivery is free over £20, four pods clears the threshold comfortably and is the most efficient way to reorder. Browse the full refill range at prefilled pods and refills.

Pro Max Plus compared with the rest of the Hayati hardware

Choosing between ranges is easier when the numbers sit next to each other rather than on separate product pages.

Range	Kit	Pod	Pod volume	Rated puffs	Pod cost per ml	Flavour choice
Pro Max Plus	£7.99	£5.49	12ml	6000	45.8p	88 kits, 89 pods
Pro Ultra Plus	£11.99	£7.99	22ml	25000	36.3p	52 kits, 52 pods
Rubik	£5.99	£3.99	12ml	7000	33.3p	20 kits, 19 pods
Mini Ultra	£3.99	£3.49	4ml	1500	87.3p	20 kits, 30 pods

Pro Max Plus against Rubik

Identical 12ml pods, and the Rubik is cheaper in both kit and pod form. The honest answer is that if your flavour is on the twenty-strong Rubik list — Watermelon Ice, Vim Ice, Triple Mango, Summer Dream, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, Strawberry Kiwi, Red Apple Ice, Pineapple Ice, Mr Blue, Lemon Cola Ice, Lemon Lime, Juicy Peach, Fresh Mint, Fizzy Cherry, Blueberry Raspberry, Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Blue Sour Raspberry, Blue Razz GB, Blue Razz Cherry or Banana Ice — the Rubik will cost you less to run. The Pro Max Plus wins on breadth: eighty-eight flavours against twenty, including every profile the Rubik does not carry.

Pro Max Plus against Pro Ultra Plus

The Pro Ultra Plus holds nearly twice the liquid, has a battery and liquid display, and offers the rotating dual-flavour mouthpiece across much of its range. It is also £4 more for the kit and £2.50 more per pod. If you want two flavours in one device and do not mind the bulk, it is the more interesting product. If you want the simplest thing that works, with the widest flavour choice and a pocketable body, the Pro Max Plus is the more sensible one.

Pro Max Plus against Mini Ultra

Not really a contest on running cost — 87.3p per ml against 45.8p — but the Mini Ultra exists for a different reason. It is genuinely small, and at £3.99 a kit it is the cheapest way to keep a second device in a bag, a car or a coat you only wear sometimes. Plenty of customers run a Pro Max Plus as the main device and a Mini Ultra as the backup.

Pro Max Plus against the refillables

The Quokka kits take bottled liquid rather than prefilled pods. They are a different proposition entirely: more work, more choice, a larger 1100mAh battery, and running costs that depend on which bottles you buy. If you already buy 10ml nic salts or 120ml shortfills, they are worth a look. If you want to open a box and vape, stay here.

The Pro Max Plus 4000 variant

Alongside the 6000-puff range sits a single Pro Max Plus 4000 kit, also at £7.99, with a 7ml pod rated at 4000 puffs at 20mg/ml on the same 850mAh battery. Matching 4000 pods are £5.49. On pure arithmetic the 6000 is better value — 12ml for the same money — so the 4000 makes sense mainly if you specifically want a shorter commitment to a single flavour, or if the 6000 in the flavour you want is out of stock and the 4000 is not.

Care, cleaning and storage

Routine care

Wipe the device contacts and the pod base with a dry cotton bud whenever you change pods. Wipe the mouthpiece with a dry cloth if it collects residue. Keep the air inlet clear — a quick check for pocket lint once a week is enough. Do not run water, alcohol or cleaning fluid anywhere near the device or an installed pod.

Storing spare pods

Store spare pods upright, mouthpiece plug fitted, in a cool drawer out of direct sunlight. Heat is the enemy: warm liquid is thinner, and thinner liquid finds its way past seals into the airflow channel, which is how a pod arrives at your mouth tasting of nothing and leaking. A car dashboard in summer is the worst place you can keep one.

Storing the device

If you are putting a device away for a while, leave it around half charged rather than empty or full, and remove the pod. A cell left fully discharged for months may not recover. A cell left at full charge in a warm place ages faster than it needs to.

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I draw

Take the pod out and refit it firmly — a pod that is not fully seated breaks the circuit. Wipe both sets of contacts dry. Check the air inlet on the body is not blocked. Put the device on charge for twenty minutes and try again. If the indicator lights but there is no vapour, the coil has failed and the pod needs replacing.

The draw is weak or very hard

A blocked inlet is the usual cause, and pocket lint is the usual blockage. Clear it with a dry cocktail stick or a blast of breath, not with a pin. On a brand-new pod, a hard first draw sometimes just means the cotton is fully saturated and has not yet been drawn through; a few gentle puffs settles it.

It tastes burnt

On a new pod: the cotton was fired before it saturated. Rest the pod ten minutes and try short, gentle draws. If the taste persists, the wick was scorched on the first few puffs and will not recover. On an older pod approaching its rated puff count: the liquid is running out and it is time for a new one.

There is liquid in my mouth

Condensate collects in the airflow path in normal use and more so in cold weather. Remove the pod, tap the mouthpiece downwards onto kitchen roll, wipe it dry, refit. Avoid drawing hard on a cold device. If a pod floods repeatedly and immediately, it has a seal fault — stop using it.

It fires on its own in my bag

Draw-activated sensors respond to pressure changes, and a device tumbling loose among keys and a water bottle will occasionally see one. Carry it upright in a pocket or a small case rather than loose. Persistent self-firing with no obvious cause means the device should be retired and recycled.

The flavour has faded but there is still liquid showing

Coils lose performance gradually, and a pod that has done most of its rated puffs will taste flatter even with liquid remaining. This is normal for a sealed, non-serviceable pod. There is no way to restore it and nothing you should attempt; fit a fresh pod.

Ordering from Hayati Flavours

Age verification

We supply adults aged 18 and over in the UK. All orders are subject to age verification, and we will ask you to confirm your age where our checks require it before an order ships. We do not sell to under-18s under any circumstances, and buying nicotine products on behalf of someone under 18 is an offence.

Delivery

UK delivery is free on orders over £20; below that a standard charge applies at checkout. Everything ships tracked, with 24-hour and 48-hour options, and tracking details reach you by email once the parcel is collected. Orders placed before our daily cut-off are picked the same working day; weekend and bank holiday orders are picked on the next working day.

Ordering sensibly

If this is your first Pro Max Plus, order the kit plus one or two spare pods in flavours from the same family, so you have a fallback and you clear the free delivery threshold in one go. If you already own the device, order pods only. Newly listed products across every range are gathered under new products, and the complete catalogue is on the store page.

Recycling your device and pods

A Pro Max Plus contains a lithium-ion cell and a used pod contains a coil assembly, so both are electrical waste under UK WEEE and waste battery rules and neither belongs in a household bin. The practical routes are a household waste recycling centre with a small electricals point, a council small-electricals collection where one is offered, or a retailer take-back point — most larger supermarkets have a battery collection bin near the entrance.

Take devices whole. Do not attempt to prise the cell out, and never puncture, crush, burn or post a damaged lithium battery. Keeping a small box for spent pods and taking them along when the device itself reaches end of life is the easiest way to stay on the right side of this without thinking about it.

Who this kit is for

The Pro Max Plus kit suits an adult vaper who wants a straightforward prefilled pod device, the widest flavour choice Hayati offers, a sensible running cost once they switch to pods, and a body small enough to carry every day without thinking about it. It suits someone buying their first Hayati device, because the kit includes everything needed and the pod range behind it is deep enough that they will not run out of things to try.

It is not the right pick if you want the lowest possible running cost and already know your flavour — that is the Rubik kit. It is not right if you want two flavours in one device or the biggest pod available — that is the Pro Ultra Plus kit. And it is not right if you want to choose your own e-liquid, in which case look at the refillable pod kits. Everything here is for adults aged 18 and over, and a full comparison of every complete device we stock sits on the Hayati pod kits page.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Hayati Pro Max Plus kit?

A rechargeable battery device with a prefilled pod already fitted, plus a USB-C charging cable. Nothing else is needed — no separate e-liquid, no coil to install and no settings to configure. Take it out of the box, let it stand upright for two or three minutes so the cotton saturates, and draw on the mouthpiece. Every kit in this collection is £7.99.

Should I buy a kit or just a pod?

Buy the kit if you do not yet own a Pro Max Plus device, want a charged spare, or your current device's battery has aged. Otherwise buy pods. The kit is £7.99 and the pod is £5.49 for the same 12ml of liquid, so buying kits when you only needed liquid costs you £2.50 and leaves you with a duplicate battery to recycle.

How does a 12ml pod comply with the UK 2ml limit?

The pod has two compartments. The 2ml vaping chamber holds the coil and cotton and is the only part connected to the airflow path. Behind it sits a 10ml sealed reserve with no route to the mouthpiece and no opening you can access. A one-way transfer mechanism tops the chamber back up as it depletes, and it never exceeds 2ml.

What nicotine strength are Pro Max Plus kits?

20mg/ml nicotine salt as standard across the flavour range, which is the UK legal maximum. There is also a 10mg kit and a zero-nicotine kit, both listed in Banana Ice at £7.99. On the pod side you can additionally get 5mg, so you can buy the kit at one strength and run lower-strength pods in the same device afterwards.

How long does the battery last on a charge?

The cell is 850mAh, charged over USB-C, and most people plug in somewhere between daily and every other day. A flat cell takes roughly an hour to fill from a laptop port or a modest phone charger. Because the board regulates output, the draw feels normal right up to the cut-off, so watch the indicator rather than waiting for the vape to weaken.

Why does my brand new pod taste burnt?

Almost certainly because it was fired before the cotton had saturated. Fit the pod, leave the device standing upright for two to three minutes, then take the first five or six draws short and gentle with a pause between each. If you have already scorched the wick, the pod will not recover — the fibres are damaged, and that is why the rest period matters.

Can I refill a Pro Max Plus pod?

No. There is no fill port and the reserve compartment is sealed by design. Attempting to puncture it will push liquid into the airflow channel and ruin the pod. If you want to use your own e-liquid, the Hayati Quokka refillable kits take bottled liquid in a 2ml refillable pod and are built for exactly that.

Do Pro Max Plus pods fit other Hayati devices?

No. Each Hayati range has its own pod fitment, contact placement and retention mechanism. Pro Max Plus pods fit Pro Max Plus devices only, and Pro Ultra Plus, Rubik and Mini Ultra pods each fit their own range. Check the range name printed on your device body before ordering refills and buy from the matching collection.

How long will one pod last me?

The 6000-puff rating is a laboratory figure from a standardised machine test, not a prediction about your week. Draw length, draw strength and how often you reach for the device all change it substantially. As a working estimate, a 12ml pod tends to last a moderate daily vaper somewhere between four days and a fortnight. Count how long your first one lasts.

What does GB mean in flavour names like Blue Razz GB?

GB indicates a gummy-bear style sweet take on that fruit rather than the fruit alone, so Blue Razz GB is blue raspberry in a sweet-shop profile. Elsewhere in the range, B'Gum and H'Bubba both point at bubblegum, Razz is raspberry, and the Aura and Dream names are Hayati house blends where the name describes the mood rather than the fruit.

What is the Pro Max Plus 4000?

A smaller variant of the same device format, carrying a 7ml pod rated at 4000 puffs at 20mg/ml on the same 850mAh battery, also at £7.99. On pure value the 6000 is the better buy since it carries 12ml for the same money, so the 4000 mainly suits someone who wants a shorter commitment to one flavour.

How do I recycle a finished device or pod?

Not in the household bin. The device contains a lithium-ion cell and the pod contains a coil assembly, so both fall under UK WEEE and waste battery rules. Use a household waste recycling centre with a small electricals point, a council small-electricals collection, or a retailer take-back point. Take devices whole and never puncture, crush or burn a cell.
