Hula Vapes

Hula Vapes at VapeShopOnline: What the Collection Holds

Hula is a prefilled pod brand built around one simple idea: a small rechargeable device, a sealed pod of nicotine salt e-liquid, and nothing to fill, prime or adjust. The collection on this page brings together everything we stock under the name, which at the moment means one platform, the Hula 7000 system, sold as a starter kit and as replacement pods in ten flavours.

That focus makes the range easy to understand. There are 12 products in total, and they break down like this:

• The Hula 7000 Prefilled Pod Kit: the device and a first pod in one box, with your choice of flavour on the product page.
• Ten flavour-specific pod listings: Blue Sour Raspberry, Cherry, Cola, Double Apple, Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, Menthol, Pineapple, Strawberry Kiwi, Triple Mango and Watermelon.
• A general Hula 7000 prefilled pods listing: for buyers who want to see the whole pod range in one place and choose from the selector.

Nicotine strengths run at 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml, both inside the UK legal limit of 20mg/ml. Pricing sits at the entry level. A pod costs a few pounds, and the kit costs only a couple of pounds more than a single pod, because the device is inexpensive and the real running cost sits in the consumable. Exact prices live on the product pages, where they are always current.

A word on the brand itself. Hula is a newer name in the closed-pod market, and it competes on price and flavour rather than on a long heritage or on extra hardware features. We would rather say that plainly than invent a backstory. What we can speak to with confidence is the product: what it is, how it behaves in daily use, what the numbers on the box really mean, and who it suits. The rest of this guide covers all of that in order.

As with every nicotine product we sell, Hula is for adults aged 18 and over, and for smokers and existing vapers looking for an alternative to cigarettes. If you have never smoked or vaped, there is no good reason to start.

How the Hula 7000 Pod System Works

The Hula 7000 is a closed pod system. Closed means the pod arrives sealed from the factory, already filled with e-liquid and fitted with its own coil, and it is not designed to be opened or refilled. When it runs out you replace it. The device it clicks into holds the battery and the electronics, and it stays in use through many pods.

The key parts, as the product packs and listings describe them:

• The pod: a sealed chamber holding up to 2ml of nicotine salt e-liquid, with an airflow channel, a mouthpiece and a coil assembly at the base.
• The coil: a mesh coil built into each pod, so there is never a separate coil to buy, fit or prime. Mesh spreads heat across a larger area of wick than a round wire does, which gives quicker ramp-up and more even flavour.
• The battery: a rechargeable lithium-ion cell inside the device, charged through a USB-C port. Capacity in this class of device generally falls somewhere between 500 and 800mAh, but the figure printed on your pack is the one to trust, because it can change between production batches.
• Activation: draw-activated, so there is no button to press. You inhale and the device fires.
• Draw style: mouth-to-lung. You draw into your mouth, pause for a moment, then inhale. Airflow is on the tighter side, closer to the feel of a cigarette than to an open, cloud-oriented device.

Setting up takes about two minutes. Remove any film from the pod, push it into the device until it seats firmly, then wait one to two minutes so the liquid can soak into the wick. Skipping that wait is the most common cause of a burnt first draw. After that, take a few gentle draws of two or three seconds each and leave short gaps between draws, so the wick has time to resupply.

Why this format matters in the UK: single-use disposable vapes have been illegal to sell in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland since 1 June 2025. A pod system like Hula keeps the battery and body in service and only discards the pod, which is why this format took over from the old disposable bars. The convenience feels very similar to a disposable, the waste is much lower, and the 20mg/ml nicotine cap that applied to disposables applies equally to every Hula pod.

The performance is moderate by design. Vapour volume is modest, the throat hit is smooth at 10mg and firmer at 20mg, and the whole device is small enough to disappear into a pocket. If that sounds like what you want, the system will feel familiar within an hour. If you want big clouds or adjustable power, it will feel limited, and the comparison section below points to better-suited alternatives.

Reading the 7000 Puff Rating Honestly

The 7000 in the product name is a manufacturer's headline rating, and it deserves a straight explanation, because it is the number buyers ask us about most often.

Puff ratings are produced on machines that take short, evenly spaced draws at a fixed volume. Real people do not vape like that. A long, slow draw uses more liquid than a quick tap, a warm room thins the liquid, and chain vaping heats the coil harder than occasional use. On top of that sits a legal ceiling. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, a pod, tank or cartridge for a nicotine vape can hold no more than 2ml of liquid. At ordinary draw lengths, 2ml of nicotine salt liquid delivers a few hundred puffs, not several thousand. The 7000 is best read as the name of the product line, not as a promise for a single pod.

A more useful question is how many days a pod lasts you. As a rough guide to how people use this format:

• Light or occasional users often get four to five days, sometimes longer, from one pod.
• Moderate daily users typically land at around three days.
• Heavy users, or former twenty-a-day smokers may finish a pod in a day or two.

Those figures turn into a rough weekly cost of somewhere between a little under ten pounds and around twenty pounds on pods, depending on how quickly you go through them. For a daily smoker that is a large saving, but only if you stop smoking altogether. Mixing cigarettes and vaping erodes the saving and most of the health benefit.

To get your own number, fit a new pod, note the date, and note the day the flavour fades. That single data point tells you more than any printed rating, and it lets you work out how many pods to keep in stock so you never run short.

Signs a pod is finishing include thinning vapour, a flat or slightly burnt taste, a visible drop in the liquid level where the shell is translucent, and a harsher throat hit than the same pod gave on day one. When you see those signs, swap the pod rather than squeezing out a few more draws. Vaping a nearly empty pod runs the coil on a dry wick, which tastes unpleasant, wears the coil and gives you very little nicotine for the effort.

The battery usually outlasts the pod by a comfortable margin, so one charge covers a day or two of ordinary use. If your device runs flat long before the pod empties, treat that as a fault rather than normal behaviour, and see the warranty guidance later on this page.

The Ten Hula Flavours and How to Choose Between Them

The Hula 7000 range comes in ten pod flavours. They fall into a few families, and thinking in families makes the first choice easier than reading ten names in a row. The descriptions below are general guides to how each style tends to taste. Every blend is slightly different, so treat them as direction rather than a promise.

• Tropical and sweet fruit: Triple Mango centres on ripe, sweet mango with little tartness. Pineapple is brighter and slightly acidic. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava is a layered blend that pairs the green tang of kiwi with the perfumed sweetness of passionfruit and guava.
• Juicy, lighter fruit: Watermelon is light, watery and summery. Strawberry Kiwi is a familiar pairing of sweet red berry softened by a little kiwi tartness.
• Tangy and sour: Blue Sour Raspberry is a candy-style blue raspberry with a citric, mouth-puckering edge. Double Apple layers two apple notes, usually one sweet and one sharper. Cherry sits closer to a cherry sweet than a fresh orchard cherry.
• Soft drink: Cola is the flavour to choose if you want something that tastes like a drink rather than a fruit bowl.
• Cooling: Menthol is a straight cool mint with no fruit, and it is the closest thing in the range to a classic cigarette-switcher profile.

Only Menthol carries a cooling name. None of the other flavours has an ice suffix, so we would not expect a pronounced chill from them.

How to decide between them:

• Start with what you already like. If you enjoy sour sweets, go for Blue Sour Raspberry. If you drink cola, try Cola. Vape flavours track everyday tastes more closely than people expect.
• Smokers switching over often find a sweet fruit flavour easier to live with than a tobacco imitation, because it does not remind them of cigarettes. Others prefer Menthol because the cool throat feel resembles what they are replacing.
• Be careful with sour profiles at 20mg. Tangy flavours feel sharper in the throat, so a strength that suits a smooth mango can feel strong in a sour raspberry.
• Rotate two flavours if you vape all day. Palate fatigue is real, and a second flavour in the bag keeps each one tasting fresh.

Because the coil and wick sit inside every pod, changing flavour is as simple as fitting a different pod. There is no flushing, no residue from the previous flavour, and no new device to buy. Store spare pods upright, in a cool place away from direct sun, and keep a part-used pod in its own pocket or case so it does not pick up lint and so the mouthpiece stays clean.

10mg or 20mg: Choosing a Nicotine Strength

Strength is the most consequential choice you make with a Hula pod, because the wrong one is the most common reason people feel a device does not work for them. UK law caps the nicotine strength of retail e-liquid at 20mg/ml, which is 2% by volume. That limit applies to pods and applied to the disposable vapes that came before them. Hula pods are offered at 10mg/ml (1%) and 20mg/ml (2%), so both options sit within it. The range does not include a nicotine-free pod.

All Hula pods use nicotine salt e-liquid. Nicotine salts bind the nicotine to an acid, which makes the vapour smoother at a given strength than traditional freebase liquid. That smoothness is what makes 20mg/ml usable in a small pod device, and it is also why it is easy to take in more nicotine than you intended if you chain vape.

A simple way to choose:

• 20mg/ml is aimed at people who smoked regularly, typically ten or more cigarettes a day, or who need one soon after waking. It gives a firm throat hit and delivers nicotine efficiently enough to take the edge off cravings.
• 10mg/ml suits lighter or social smokers, and existing vapers who find 20mg/ml harsh. It is smoother on the throat and lets more of the flavour come through.

If you are unsure, pay attention to how you feel after a few draws. Light-headedness, queasiness, a shaky feeling, hiccups or a hot, tight throat all point to a strength that is too high, so drop to 10mg/ml. If you are taking frequent draws and still feel unsatisfied, or you drift back to cigarettes within a few hours, the strength may be too low, and 20mg/ml is the next step.

Some practical points:

• You can change strength whenever you fit a new pod. Nothing about the device locks you in.
• Sour and menthol flavours feel sharper at the same strength as a smooth fruit, so consider starting at 10mg/ml with those even if you smoked fairly heavily.
• Do not chase a stronger hit by taking longer draws on a 10mg pod. Long draws overheat the coil and burn the wick. Move up in strength instead.
• Many people step down over time, from 20mg/ml to 10mg/ml, as cigarette cravings fade. That is a sensible direction of travel if your goal is to cut back.

If you smoke very heavily and 20mg/ml does not control cravings, the answer is usually a different device style or a conversation with a stop-smoking service or pharmacist, not a way around the cap. UK stop-smoking services can combine vaping with behavioural support, which improves the odds of success considerably.

Kit or Pods: Which Should You Buy?

The collection splits cleanly into hardware and consumables, and the decision is simpler than it first looks.

Buy the Hula 7000 Prefilled Pod Kit if you do not own a Hula device yet. The kit includes the rechargeable device and a first pod, so you can start once it is charged and saturated. Because the kit costs only a couple of pounds more than a single pod, it is cheaper than buying a body and a pod separately, and for most newcomers it is the sensible first purchase. Pick the kit in the flavour and strength you think you will enjoy most, using the selector on the product page.

Buy the pods if you already own a working Hula 7000 device. Choose a flavour-specific listing when you know exactly what you want, or the general pods listing when you would like to compare the range before choosing. A pod is the part you will buy again and again, so it is worth keeping a small stock rather than ordering the day you run out.

Compatibility needs one clear warning. Prefilled pods are system-specific. A Hula 7000 pod is made to seat into a Hula 7000 device, and pods from other brands are not built to fit it. Likewise, do not push a Hula pod into a different brand of device. Forcing a pod that does not seat cleanly can damage the contacts and cause leaks or intermittent firing. If you are unsure whether an older device will take a current pod, check the listing, or contact us before ordering.

Some sensible stock-up habits:

• New vapers: buy the kit, then add two or three spare pods in the same strength so you do not end up back on cigarettes when the first pod runs out.
• Two-flavour users: buy a kit in your main flavour and a pod in a second one, and alternate to avoid palate fatigue.
• Travellers and commuters: a spare device costs little more than a pod, which makes a second kit a reasonable backup for a bag or a desk drawer.
• Anyone unsure about strength: order one pod at each strength before committing to a stock of either.

On value, the system is built for low entry cost and a steady, predictable running cost. You will not find bundle gimmicks or complicated multibuys here, just a short list of products with consistent pricing. If a pod lasts you around three days, you are spending roughly the price of two pods a week. Compared with a daily cigarette habit that is a substantial saving, and compared with the single-use bars that used to dominate this price bracket it is both cheaper per week and kinder to the environment.

Who Hula Suits, and Who Should Look Elsewhere

The Hula 7000 is designed around simplicity. It suits some people very well and others not at all, and it is better to know which group you are in before you order.

Good fit for:

• Adult smokers switching to vaping who want a device that behaves like a cigarette: pick it up, draw, put it down. There are no settings to learn, no bottles to carry and no coils to build.
• Former disposable users who want the same grab-and-go convenience without throwing away a battery every few days.
• Fans of sweet, tangy or cola flavours who like to change flavour without changing device.
• Budget-conscious buyers, because both entry cost and running cost sit at the low end of the closed-pod market.
• Experienced vapers who want a small, low-maintenance backup device for travel, the office or nights out.

Probably not for you if:

• You have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive and there is no benefit to starting.
• You want large clouds or open, loose airflow. This is a tight, mouth-to-lung device.
• You want to adjust wattage, airflow or nicotine strength mid-pod. The settings are fixed.
• You vape heavily and want one device that goes several days between charges and pod swaps. A refillable tank system may suit you better.
• You like mixing your own liquids. The pods are sealed and not designed to be refilled.

New versus experienced vapers. If you are new, start with the kit and use the strength guide above. Choose a sweet fruit flavour or Menthol, take gentle draws, and give yourself a week before judging whether the system works for you. If you are experienced, you will probably find the draw tighter and the vapour quieter than your usual device. That is a feature for discreet use and a limitation if you are used to wattage control. Many experienced vapers keep a pod device like this as a second option rather than a replacement for their main setup.

For people trying to stop smoking, UK evidence supports vaping as an effective aid, and stop-smoking services increasingly include it as an option alongside behavioural support. Vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free, and it works best as a full replacement rather than an addition. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using any nicotine product.

How Hula Compares With Elf Bar, Lost Mary, Geek Bar and Others

Choosing a pod kit is a matter of trade-offs, and no single product wins on every count. The comparisons below are general, because specifications on competing products change often. Check current listings before you decide.

• Against Elf Bar, Lost Mary and Geek Bar kits: these are the closest rivals, and the format is similar, with closed pods, mesh coils, draw activation and the 2ml cap. They tend to have bigger brand recognition, wider flavour catalogues and, on some models, extras such as screens, adjustable airflow or larger batteries. Hula is leaner. It competes on entry price and simplicity rather than features, so if a feature like a display matters to you, look at those brands. If you mainly want a cheap, simple, sweet-and-tangy pod system, Hula holds its own.
• Against Vuse ePod and similar tobacco-company closed pods: these are well established, widely stocked in shops, and tend to lean towards tobacco and menthol flavours with consistent quality control. Pods usually cost more per unit and the flavour range is narrower. They suit someone who wants a familiar brand and a tobacco-style profile. Hula suits someone who wants fruit, cola or menthol at a lower price.
• Against refillable pod systems such as Oxva or Smok: refillable devices let you use any 10ml bottle of e-liquid, so you get far more flavour choice and usually a lower cost per ml over time. The price is effort. You fill pods, replace coils, deal with the occasional leak and carry a bottle. Hula trades that choice for convenience.
• Against the old single-use bars: they are gone from sale, but if you used them, the closest replacement in feel is a closed pod kit. Hula gives you the same pick-up-and-draw experience, with a rechargeable body and a replaceable pod instead of a throwaway unit.

Where Hula is strongest is in keeping the whole experience uncomplicated. You do not choose a coil, you do not set a wattage, and you do not decide between airflow rings. Where it is weakest is in range depth and extras. There are ten flavours, two strengths and one platform, which is narrower than the biggest brands.

Value is where the system makes its case. A low-priced kit, pods at a similar entry level, and no hidden costs for coils or e-liquid add up to a predictable weekly spend. The honest advice is to try a kit with one flavour you are confident about, track how long the first pod lasts, and compare that cost with your current habit. If the numbers and the flavour work for you, there is little reason to look further. If not, the alternatives above are all available in our wider range.

Buying Tips: Authenticity, Warranty, Delivery and Age Checks

Counterfeit and grey-market vape products exist in the UK, and prefilled pods are a favourite target because they are small, sealed and easy to copy. A few habits protect you.

Spotting genuine stock:

• Check the packaging. Legitimate UK stock carries a nicotine health warning in clear English, the nicotine strength, an ingredients list, the volume of liquid and contact details for the manufacturer or importer. Missing or garbled warnings are a red flag.
• Look at print quality. Blurry logos, spelling errors, uneven colours or flimsy boxes suggest a copy.
• Check the seal. A pod should arrive sealed, dry on the outside, with any protective film intact. A pod that is already leaking, or that smells chemical or burnt before use, should not be vaped.
• Be suspicious of prices far below the market. If a pod or kit costs a fraction of what reputable shops charge, the stock is probably not what it claims to be.
• Buy from a UK retailer that checks age. A seller who asks for proof of age is following the law, and a seller who does not is a risk. If a pack carries a scannable verification code, follow the brand's own instructions for checking it.

If something seems wrong with a pod or a device, stop using it and contact us. It is far better to lose a pod than to vape from one you are not sure about.

Warranty and returns. Faulty goods are covered by your rights under UK consumer law. Products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. For hygiene and safety reasons, opened or used vape products generally cannot be returned for a change of mind, but a genuine fault is a different matter. If your kit arrives damaged or does not work, keep the packaging, take a clear photo of the fault and contact us promptly, and we will arrange a replacement or refund under the terms on our returns page. Do not open or refill a pod. Doing so can cause leaks and may affect your rights.

Delivery and age checks. You must be 18 or over to buy, and we verify age at checkout. Orders are packed discreetly and sent by tracked UK carriers. The delivery options and costs for your postcode are shown at checkout. A parcel may need an adult to receive it, so choose an address where someone over 18 will be in. Order a little before you run out, because a delayed courier is the quickest way to end up back on cigarettes.

UK Law, Recycling and Looking After Your Hula Device

Understanding the rules behind the product helps you read what you are buying and what the limits mean.

The legal framework. Nicotine vapes in the UK are regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, which carried across the limits of the EU Tobacco Products Directive. The ones that matter for Hula are:

• A 20mg/ml nicotine cap on retail e-liquid, which applies to every pod and applied to disposables before them.
• A 2ml limit on the capacity of a pod, tank or cartridge.
• A 10ml limit on refill bottles, which is relevant to refillable systems rather than sealed pods.
• Health warnings and ingredient information on the packaging.
• An age limit of 18 for sale. It is illegal to sell nicotine vapes to under-18s, and it is an offence for an adult to buy them on behalf of a minor.

On top of this sits the ban on single-use disposable vapes, in force since 1 June 2025. Rules around vaping continue to develop, so it is worth checking current government guidance if you are planning anything unusual, such as carrying products abroad.

Recycling. A vape contains a lithium-ion battery, and batteries in household bins or kerbside recycling start fires in lorries and waste sites. Never put a vape device in a general waste bin, and never in your doorstep recycling. UK retailers that sell vapes are required to take old ones back, and most council recycling centres have a small electricals or vape recycling point. Many supermarkets also provide collection bins near the entrance. A postcode search on a recycling locator such as Recycle Your Electricals will show the nearest drop-off. Empty pods can usually go in the same place, but check the local rules, because some sites separate the device from the pod. Do not puncture or crush any part.

Care and safe use.

• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface using the supplied cable or a good-quality USB-C cable and a standard 5V charger. Do not charge on a bed or sofa, and do not leave a device charging unattended overnight.
• Keep the device and spare pods away from heat, direct sun and hot cars. Heat causes leaks and wears the battery.
• Wipe the metal contacts on the pod and device with a dry cotton bud if the device stops firing.
• Store pods upright where possible, and keep everything out of reach of children and pets. E-liquid is poisonous if swallowed.
• Stop using a device that gets unusually hot, swells, smells burnt or is physically damaged, and take it to a recycling point.

If you do not have a suitable spot to charge or store a device safely, that alone is a reason to think again about pod vaping. A little care keeps the Hula system working the way it should for as long as the battery lasts.
