Hayati Mini Ultra Pods Straw Cranberry Cherry Cherry Ice at a glance

Hayati Mini Ultra Pods Straw Cranberry Cherry Cherry Ice is a pre-filled replacement pod for the Hayati Mini Ultra device. In the product name, Straw is shorthand for strawberry, so the flavour reads as strawberry, cranberry and cherry with a cool ice finish. It is sold as a pod refill rather than a complete kit, which means you need a compatible Hayati Mini Ultra battery section to use it. There is no liquid to pour, no coil to prime by hand and no tank to clean. You take out the old pod, click the new one in and carry on.

Hayati built its reputation on high-puff-count devices, and the Mini Ultra format takes the same flavour-first approach into a smaller, pocketable pod system. The rated figure for this pod is 1,500 puffs. That is a manufacturer estimate, so treat it as a ceiling for gentle, evenly spaced draws rather than a promise. Further down we explain how draw length, nicotine strength and the way you vape move the real number up or down.

Here is the short version of what you are buying:

  • Type: pre-filled, sealed replacement pod for the Hayati Mini Ultra device
  • Flavour: strawberry, cranberry and cherry with an ice finish
  • Rated puffs: approximately 1,500 per pod (manufacturer estimate)
  • E-liquid capacity: up to 2ml, which is the maximum UK law allows in a pod or tank
  • Nicotine: UK maximum is 20mg/ml (2%); choose your strength on the variant selector
  • Coil: mesh-style coil built into the pod, replaced every time you change pod
  • Power: supplied by the device battery; the pod itself has no battery and does not charge
  • Age restriction: 18+ only, and only for adults who already smoke or vape

This guide is written for UK adult smokers and existing vapers. It covers the flavour in detail, how the pod performs, the build, the battery that powers it, the coil, nicotine strength, who it suits and who should look elsewhere, how to fit and use it, what to do when something goes wrong, how it compares on value, and the UK rules on strength, pod size and recycling. We have tried to make clear where a figure is a manufacturer claim and where it is our own reasoning, so you can buy with realistic expectations.

One note before you read on. Vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive. They are not intended for non-smokers, for anyone under 18, or for anyone who is pregnant or has a heart condition without speaking to a doctor first.

Flavour profile: strawberry, cranberry, cherry and ice

The flavour is built from three fruit notes and a cooling finish, and the order in the name is a fair guide to the order you taste them. On the first draw the strawberry leads. It is a sweet, slightly jammy red-fruit note rather than a sharp or green strawberry, and it sets the overall sweetness, which sits in the medium-to-high range for a fruit-ice pod.

Cranberry comes in underneath and does the useful job of stopping the profile from turning sugary. Cranberry is naturally tart and a little dry, so it adds a short, sharp edge on the middle of the draw that cuts through the strawberry. If you have ever drunk a sweetened cranberry juice and still found it sharp, you will recognise the balance: the tartness is a counterweight, not the headline.

Cherry is named twice in the product title, and that doubling is a reasonable hint that it carries the most weight on the exhale. Expect a rounded, slightly dark cherry character, closer to cherry sweets than to fresh fruit, which lingers on the back of the tongue after you breathe out. Some vapers read this style of cherry as faintly medicinal or cola-like. If you dislike cherry cough sweets, this is the note most likely to divide you.

Ice is the finishing layer. In pods like this the chill is usually produced by a cooling agent rather than by a mint flavour, so you get a clean cool sensation on the throat and the exhale without a peppermint or spearmint taste. The intensity is moderate. You notice it on every draw, but it is not a freeze that numbs the tongue. Short draws feel milder, and long, slow draws build the cooling effect.

How the flavour tends to behave across the life of one pod:

  • First few hundred puffs: the fruit notes are at their sharpest and the cooling is easy to detect. Cranberry is most noticeable here.
  • Middle of the pod: the profile settles into a rounder, sweeter blend, with strawberry and cherry merging and the ice sitting quietly at the back.
  • Final stretch: the flavour thins as the liquid level drops, and the sweetness can read as slightly flatter. This is the cue to have a spare pod to hand.

A few practical tips for getting the flavour you want. Take slower, shorter draws if you want to taste the cranberry and cherry more clearly. Take longer draws if you want more ice. Give the pod a minute between bursts of puffing, because constant back-to-back draws heat the coil and flatten the more delicate fruit notes. If you find sweet flavours tiring after a few days, which many vapers call vaper's tongue, switch to a menthol or tobacco pod for a day and come back.

If you like this kind of red-fruit-and-ice profile, other flavour families worth browsing alongside it include blueberry ice, watermelon ice, raspberry and pomegranate blends, cherry cola, mixed berry and plain menthol. Availability changes with stock, so check the Hayati brand page for what is currently listed rather than assuming every flavour exists in the Mini Ultra pod format.

Performance and puff delivery

The headline number on this pod is 1,500 puffs. It helps to know what a puff means in that context. Manufacturer puff counts are generally based on a machine drawing for a fixed short duration, often around two to three seconds, at regular intervals. A real person takes draws of varying length, sometimes back to back, and the pod drains faster or slower accordingly. Think of 1,500 as a best-case planning figure for gentle draws, then adjust for your own habits.

To turn that into days, here is a rough guide based on how many puffs you take:

  • Light use, around 100 to 150 puffs a day: one pod can last roughly 10 to 15 days.
  • Moderate use, around 250 to 300 puffs a day: expect roughly 5 to 6 days.
  • Heavy use, 400 puffs or more a day: expect roughly 3 to 4 days, and a real-world pod life that falls short of the rated figure.

Those figures are estimates, not guarantees. Higher nicotine strengths tend to satisfy people in fewer puffs, so a 20mg user may take fewer draws per day than someone on a lower strength, which stretches the pod. Cold weather thickens e-liquid slightly and can reduce vapour for the first few draws until the coil warms up.

The vapour output from a pod system of this class is moderate. Mesh coils in compact pods are tuned for flavour and a smooth draw rather than large clouds. Most pod devices in this category lean towards a draw that sits between tight mouth-to-lung and a lightly restricted lung inhale, so it feels closer to drawing on a cigarette than to an open sub-ohm device. If you want big, warm, high-volume vapour, a pod system like this is not the right tool. If you want something discreet that delivers steady flavour and a consistent throat hit, it fits that brief well.

Consistency is the other thing to look for in performance. A well-made pod should deliver similar flavour and vapour from the first draw to roughly the last fifth of its life. You may notice a gradual fade rather than a sudden stop. If the pod goes from full flavour to nothing quickly, or tastes burnt while the liquid level still looks healthy, that points to a fault or to over-use, and the troubleshooting section below covers the most common causes.

Finally, remember that the pod and the device work as a pair. The pod controls the flavour and the liquid; the device controls the power delivered to the coil. A flat or nearly flat battery will deliver weaker vapour even with a full pod, so if performance seems to drop off suddenly, charge the device before blaming the pod.

Design and build quality

The pod is a sealed, single-piece unit. It holds the e-liquid, the cotton wick, the mesh coil and an integrated mouthpiece, and it connects to the device through electrical contacts at the base. It is not designed to be opened or refilled, and attempting to do so risks leaking, damaging the coil and voiding any claim if the product turns out to be faulty. You use it until it runs out, then recycle it and fit a new one.

The Mini Ultra format is compact. The pod is small enough that the complete device sits comfortably in a trouser pocket or a small bag without a bulge, and light enough that you barely notice it. The shape is built for one-handed use, with the mouthpiece positioned for a natural, slightly angled draw.

When your pod arrives, a quick inspection takes ten seconds and is worth doing. Look for the following:

  • Seals and film: any protective film over the mouthpiece and the base should be intact before use and removed as the packaging instructs.
  • Liquid level: a visible, even fill without large air gaps suggests the pod was filled and sealed correctly.
  • Contacts: the metal contacts at the base should be clean and undamaged. Dirty or bent contacts are a common cause of the device not recognising the pod.
  • Fit: a proper pod should seat in the device with a firm, positive click and no rattle.

Build quality in this part of the market is about practical tolerances: does the pod seat securely, does it seal against the device, and does it avoid leaking in a pocket. Plastic pods are light and cheap to produce, so they can crack if dropped on a hard floor. Keep the device in a case or a separate pocket from keys and coins, and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or a hot car, because heat thins the e-liquid and can cause seepage past the wick.

Compatibility is the one design point to confirm before you order. Pods are specific to their device. A Hayati Mini Ultra pod is made for the Hayati Mini Ultra battery section, and it will not fit pods or devices from other brands or from other Hayati ranges. If you are unsure which device you own, check the base or the original box before buying.

Battery and charging

The pod itself contains no battery and does not charge. Power comes from the Hayati Mini Ultra device it clicks into, so everything about charging relates to the device, not to the pod. That is a useful distinction, because it means a pod refill gives you fresh liquid and a fresh coil without producing a new lithium cell each time, which is better for waste than a single-use product.

We cannot quote an exact battery rating for your device from the pod listing alone, so check the packaging or the manual. Reasoning from the class, compact pod devices usually carry batteries somewhere in the range of 400 to 700 mAh and charge over USB-C. At the low power levels these devices run at, and with typical draws of two to three seconds, a charge in that range will commonly cover a few hundred puffs. If the pod is rated for 1,500 puffs, that implies one pod may take several charges to finish. It is normal to top up the device every day or two if you vape steadily, and the pod is rarely the limiting factor.

Good charging habits keep the battery healthy and safe:

  • Use a standard 5V USB charger or port. Fast chargers and laptop ports are generally fine if the device manages its own charging, but a cheap unbranded plug with no safety markings is not worth the risk.
  • Do not charge unattended or under a pillow. Charge on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface where you can see the device.
  • Do not use a damaged device. If the casing is cracked, swollen or hot to the touch, stop using it and take it to a battery recycling point.
  • Avoid draining it to zero repeatedly. Lithium cells last longer when topped up before they are completely flat.
  • Keep the contacts clean. Wipe the pod connectors on the device with a dry cotton bud now and then. Residue there causes intermittent cutting out.

Charging time depends on the cell size and charger, but compact devices of this kind usually return to full in somewhere between half an hour and a couple of hours. If your device shows an indicator light while charging, it normally changes colour or switches off when full. Check the manual for the specific behaviour of your model, as indicator patterns differ between devices.

When the battery eventually reaches the end of its useful life, which is typically several hundred charge cycles, do not put the device in household bins. Lithium cells in the general waste stream cause fires in refuse trucks and recycling plants. The recycling section below explains where to take it.

Mesh coil technology and e-liquid

The coil is built into every pod, which is one of the main advantages of a pod refill. A new pod means a new coil, so you are not carrying a worn coil forward and tolerating flat flavour. This pod uses a mesh-style coil, which is now standard in this class of product.

A conventional round-wire coil is a single strand wound into a spiral. A mesh coil is a flat, perforated strip of resistance material, usually rolled or folded against the wicking cotton. The difference matters for several reasons:

  • Larger heating area: the mesh touches more of the wick at once, so the e-liquid is heated more evenly and there are fewer hot spots.
  • Faster ramp-up: mesh reaches working temperature quickly, so the first draw after a pause is not noticeably worse than the tenth.
  • Better flavour fidelity: even heating means delicate notes such as cranberry tartness are less likely to be burnt away.
  • Lower wattage for the same result: this suits a small battery, because the device does not need to push much power to produce vapour.

The coil resistance is fixed by the manufacturer. Pods in this class commonly sit around one ohm, but you cannot adjust it and you do not need to. The device recognises the pod and delivers the appropriate power.

The liquid itself is most likely a nicotine salt formulation, which is the usual choice in pod systems because nic salts deliver a smoother throat hit at higher strengths than freebase nicotine. The base is typically a blend of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, often in a roughly balanced ratio for pods. Propylene glycol carries flavour and throat hit; vegetable glycerine contributes vapour volume and a smoother feel. The precise ratio is printed on the packaging.

UK law caps the volume at 2ml for a pod or tank, so the 1,500 puff figure is achieved from that small reservoir. That is a demanding target, and it is one reason the puff count is best read as a gentle-use estimate.

Wicking is the other half of the system. The cotton must stay saturated for the coil to work properly. When a new pod is inserted, the wick needs a few minutes to draw liquid across from the reservoir. If you draw straight away on a pod that has not wicked fully, the coil can run partly dry, which gives a harsh, burnt taste and shortens the coil's life. A short wait before the first draw solves the problem entirely.

Nicotine strength guidance

In the UK, the maximum nicotine strength in any e-liquid, including pre-filled pods, is 20mg/ml, which is 2%. That is the figure you see on most nicotine salt pods, and it is the legal ceiling regardless of brand. The same cap applied to disposable vapes before single-use products were banned, and it continues to apply to refill pods. You will not find a legitimate UK pod above 20mg/ml.

Which strength you choose depends on how much you smoked or vaped before and how satisfying you want each draw to feel. This is general guidance, not medical advice:

  • 20mg/ml (2%): usually the starting point for people who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who smoked first thing in the morning and through the day. Nic salts at this strength give a firm throat hit and a strong sense of satisfaction in few puffs.
  • 10mg/ml (1%): suited to lighter smokers, social smokers and people stepping down from 20mg. The throat hit is gentler and you may take more puffs per day.
  • Lower or zero nicotine: for experienced vapers who want the flavour and the habit with little or no nicotine. Availability varies by flavour and pod, so check the variant selector.

Remember that the strengths offered depend on stock and on what the manufacturer produces for this particular flavour. The options displayed on the product page are the ones available to order.

A few points worth knowing about how strength changes the experience:

  • Higher strength means a stronger throat hit. If 20mg feels harsh, particularly with a cooling flavour like this one, a lower strength is a sensible move.
  • Too low a strength can backfire. If you are not satisfied you will draw more often, burn through the pod faster and potentially go back to cigarettes.
  • Cooling agents can intensify the sensation of throat hit, so a 20mg ice pod can feel stronger than a 20mg non-cooling pod.

Signs that you have taken too much nicotine include nausea, dizziness, a headache, a racing heart or sweating. If that happens, stop vaping, sit down, drink water and get some fresh air. If symptoms are severe or do not pass, seek medical help.

If you want help stopping smoking altogether, your local NHS stop smoking service offers free support and, in many areas, can combine behavioural support with licensed nicotine replacement products. Vaping is best treated as a route away from cigarettes, not as a habit to take up if you do not already smoke.

Who this pod is for, and who should skip it

Every product suits some people better than others. Being straightforward about that saves you money and frustration, so here is a plain assessment.

This pod is a good fit for:

  • Adult smokers moving away from cigarettes who want a simple, pocketable device with no refilling or coil changes.
  • Former disposable users. Single-use disposable vapes were banned across the UK in 2025, and a rechargeable device with replaceable pods is the closest equivalent in convenience, with less waste per puff.
  • People who like fruit and ice flavours. If you enjoy red berries, cherry sweets and a cool exhale, this is aimed at your taste.
  • Anyone who wants a consistent draw. Because the coil is replaced with every pod, flavour and vapour stay predictable.
  • Vapers who value discretion. Compact size and moderate vapour output make it easy to use without fuss.

You may want to skip it if:

  • You do not already smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive and this product is not meant to start a habit.
  • You do not own a Hayati Mini Ultra device. The pod will not work in other devices, and a pod refill alone does nothing.
  • You want adjustable wattage or airflow. Pod systems are fixed by design, and enthusiasts who like tinkering will find them limiting.
  • You chase big clouds. The output here is moderate, and a sub-ohm kit is the better route for volume.
  • You dislike sweet or cooling flavours. If cherry cough sweets or menthol-style chill put you off, choose a tobacco or plain mint pod.
  • You want the lowest running cost. Pre-filled pods cost more per millilitre than refillable e-liquid bottles, and heavy vapers may prefer a refillable system.
  • You want to refill the pod yourself. This pod is sealed and not designed for refilling.

If you are not sure, a useful test is whether you are happy with the convenience-over-control trade. If you are, a pod system suits you. If you find yourself wanting to adjust things, a refillable pod kit is probably a better long-term choice, and we stock those too.

How to use and fit the pod

Fitting a pod takes under a minute. The exact packaging varies, so follow any instructions printed on the pack, but the general process looks like this:

  • Step 1, check the device. Make sure the Hayati Mini Ultra battery section is charged. A flat device is the single most common reason a new pod seems not to work.
  • Step 2, unpack the pod. Remove the pod from its packaging and take off any protective film, plug or cap from the mouthpiece and the base, as indicated on the pack. Do not remove anything that the instructions do not say to remove.
  • Step 3, line it up. Hold the device upright and align the pod with the opening in the battery section. Pods are keyed so they only fit one way.
  • Step 4, push it in. Press the pod firmly until it clicks or sits flush. If it will not seat, do not force it. Take it out and check the alignment and the contacts.
  • Step 5, let it wick. Wait three to five minutes before the first draw so the cotton can absorb liquid from the reservoir.
  • Step 6, take gentle first draws. Take a couple of short, soft draws without inhaling deeply, to bring the coil up to temperature and finish priming.
  • Step 7, vape normally. Draw slowly for two to three seconds. Most devices in this class are draw-activated, meaning there is no button to press. If yours has one, press it only as the manual describes.

Some habits help the pod last and perform properly:

  • Leave around 20 to 30 seconds between draws to let the wick refill and the coil cool.
  • Avoid chain vaping, which heats the coil continuously and burns through liquid.
  • Store the device upright where you can, because lying it on its side for a long time can encourage liquid to pool near the contacts.
  • Keep it out of direct heat, and out of reach of children and pets.

To change the pod when it is spent, simply pull it out of the battery section, fit a new one and repeat the steps above. Do not try to refill the used pod or keep it for later. Dispose of it responsibly using the guidance in the final section. Spent pods still contain residual nicotine, so treat them as hazardous waste and keep them away from children.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with pod systems have simple causes. Work through these before assuming the product is faulty.

  • No vapour or the device does not respond. Check the battery first and charge the device for at least 20 minutes. Then remove the pod and reseat it, making sure it clicks in fully. Wipe the contacts on the pod and device with a dry cotton bud. If a protective film or plug is still in place, remove it as the pack instructs.
  • Weak or muted flavour on a new pod. The pod probably has not wicked yet. Wait a few minutes, then take gentle draws. If the flavour is still faint after 20 or 30 draws, try a slightly longer draw while the coil warms up.
  • Burnt or acrid taste. This usually means the coil is running dry from chain vaping, from drawing before the wick was saturated, or from a pod that is nearly empty. Rest the device for a few minutes. If the pod is near the end of its life, replace it. Do not keep drawing on a burnt coil, as the taste does not recover.
  • Gurgling or spitting. Condensation or excess liquid in the airway. Hold the device upright and blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, or wipe the mouthpiece and take gentle draws.
  • Leaking. Check that the pod is seated fully and that no film has been left half-removed. Heat and pressure changes, for example in a hot car or on a flight, can push liquid out. Wipe the device and contacts clean and let it dry before using it. A pod that keeps leaking in normal conditions is faulty and should be reported.
  • Device flashes or will not fire. Flashing lights usually signal a low battery, a poor connection or a protection cut-off. Charge the device, reseat the pod and clean the contacts. Consult the manual for what each flash pattern means on your model.
  • Tight draw. A very restricted draw can mean a partially blocked airway or a pod that has not seated. Remove and refit the pod and clear the mouthpiece. If you simply find the draw tighter than your previous device, this is a feature of the format and tends to feel normal within a day or two.
  • Throat hit too harsh. Choose a lower nicotine strength next time, and take shorter, softer draws. The cooling agent in an ice flavour can add to the sensation.
  • Flavour disappears but the pod is not empty. This is often vaper's tongue. Try a different flavour, a glass of water or a day off the sweet profile before concluding the pod has failed.
  • Device will not charge. Try a different cable and a different power source. Check the charging port for lint. If nothing works, the device may be faulty, and you should contact the seller with your order details.

If you have been through the relevant steps and the pod or device still does not behave, keep the packaging, take clear photographs and contact customer support. Faulty or damaged goods are covered by consumer law, and we are happy to look at a genuine fault.

Value for money and how it compares

The simplest way to judge value on a pod refill is cost per puff, then adjust for how many puffs you will realistically get. Divide the price by 1,500 for the rated figure, and by a more conservative number, perhaps 1,000, for what many vapers experience in practice. For illustration only, a pod costing around £5.99 works out at roughly 0.4p per rated puff, or closer to 0.6p if you only reach 1,000 puffs. Check the current price on the listing, as it changes with promotions.

That is only part of the picture. A pod refill is a convenience product. You are paying for sealed, pre-measured liquid, a fresh coil and no mess, and that convenience costs more per millilitre than a bottle of e-liquid for a refillable kit. In rough terms, pre-filled pods often cost several times more per millilitre than a 10ml nic salt bottle. If you vape a lot, that gap adds up over a month.

Here is how the Mini Ultra pod compares with other things you might consider, with the caveat that other brands change their specifications and you should check current details:

  • Elf Bar and Lost Mary pod kits: these also use sealed, pre-filled 2ml pods in rechargeable devices and are the closest rivals in format. Differences come down mainly to flavour range, draw feel and price per pod. Neither is a clear winner; choose by the flavour you prefer.
  • Vuse ePod 2: a closed-pod system from a major tobacco company with a smaller range of flavours and a more conservative focus on tobacco and menthol styles. It is a sound choice if you want a mainstream, easy-to-find product. If you want fruit-ice variety, a Hayati pod offers more to choose from.
  • Uwell Caliburn series: a long-running pod system with replaceable pods, popular with ex-smokers for its steady draw. It is generally better known for the hardware than for a large catalogue of pre-filled flavours.
  • Refillable pod kits: cheaper per ml in the long run and more flexible with flavours and strengths, but they ask more of you: filling, wicking, cleaning and coil changes. Better for heavy users, less convenient for everyone else.

Where the Hayati Mini Ultra pod makes sense on value is in the combination of a defined flavour, a rated 1,500 puffs and no maintenance. Where it makes less sense is if you are a heavy vaper who goes through a pod every three days, or if you are happy to fill and maintain a refillable kit.

One honest caution on puff counts. The rated number is a marketing figure that every brand inflates to some degree, and comparing a 1,500-puff claim from one brand with a 1,200-puff claim from another tells you less than you might think. A better comparison is liquid volume, which is capped at 2ml by law for all of them, nicotine strength, and the draw you personally prefer.

Finally, check delivery terms at checkout. Buying a few pods at once usually reduces the per-pod cost and the delivery cost, and means you are not left without a spare when the first runs out.

UK rules, recycling and responsible disposal

Vaping products sold in the UK are regulated, and it helps to know what that means for you as a buyer.

  • Age: you must be 18 or over to buy or be sold a nicotine vaping product. A reputable retailer will ask you to confirm your age, and may check ID on delivery.
  • Nicotine strength: the maximum is 20mg/ml (2%) for all UK nicotine e-liquid, including pods and the disposables that used to be sold.
  • Container size: pods and tanks are limited to 2ml, and refill bottles to 10ml. That is why a pod like this one holds a small volume.
  • Single-use disposables: the sale of single-use disposable vapes was banned across the UK in 2025. A rechargeable device with a replaceable pod is a different product type and remains legal to sell.
  • Notification and labelling: legitimate products are notified to the regulator and carry health warnings and ingredient information. Be wary of any product that lacks them or claims a strength above 20mg/ml.

Recycling matters, because a pod contains plastic, a small metal coil, cotton and residual nicotine, and the device contains a lithium battery. None of it should go in your household bin or general recycling.

  • Used pods: treat them as small electrical waste. Take them to a drop-off point rather than binning them.
  • Devices and batteries: a lithium battery in the bin can cause a fire in a refuse vehicle or at a sorting plant. Always recycle them separately.
  • Where to take them: your local council household waste recycling centre normally accepts small electricals, and many vape shops and some larger retailers operate take-back schemes. The Recycle Your Electricals website has a postcode search for the nearest drop-off point.
  • Before you go: remove the pod from the device and, where practical, place used pods in a sealed bag so any residual liquid does not spill.

For safe storage, keep pods, devices and spare nicotine products out of reach of children and pets, away from heat and out of direct sunlight. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed or absorbed through the skin in quantity, so wipe up any leaks promptly and wash your hands afterwards. If a child or pet swallows a pod or its contents, seek medical or veterinary advice immediately.

Choosing a rechargeable device with replaceable pods is a step towards less waste than single-use products, but the benefit only materialises if you actually recycle what you use. It takes a minute and keeps hazardous material out of landfill.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Zero-mess flavour change — snap in, done
  • Consistent draw from a factory-primed coil
  • Long shelf-life, easy to travel with

Cons

  • Costs more per ml than freestanding e-liquid
  • Pods are proprietary to a specific device
  • Only sold at 20 mg or 10 mg — no lower strengths

Customer Buying Tips

  • Check device compatibility: a pod must match your exact device family (e.g. "Elfa Pro" pods only fit Elfa Pro devices).
  • Store sealed pods upright, below 30 °C — heat and sunlight drain flavour.
  • Rotate flavours: using the same pod flavour back-to-back dulls your palate within a week.
  • Prime the pod for 60 seconds after fitting to avoid a dry hit.

About Hayati

Hayati has become one of the UK's most-asked-for vape brands on the back of the Pro Max and Pro Ultra Plus — big-puff kits that led the switch from true disposables into prefilled-pod devices. Flavour ranges stretch across 85+ profiles, from British classics like Blackcurrant Menthol to tropical blends built for all-day vaping.

Frequently asked questions

Which nicotine strength should I choose?

The UK maximum is 20mg/ml, and that suits people who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day. Lighter smokers or those stepping down usually do better with 10mg/ml, which gives a gentler throat hit. Cooling flavours can feel stronger, so if 20mg feels harsh, go one step lower.

How do I charge it?

The pod has no battery and does not charge, because the power comes from your Hayati Mini Ultra device. Charge the device through its USB-C port with a standard 5V charger, on a flat surface and not unattended. If the device will not charge, try a different cable and clean the port before contacting us.

Can I swap flavours or mix pods from different ranges?

You can swap between pods made for the Hayati Mini Ultra device whenever you like. Remove the old pod, click in the new one and wait a few minutes for it to wick. Pods from other brands or other Hayati ranges are not interchangeable, so always check compatibility before ordering.

How long does one pod last?

The pod is rated for about 1,500 puffs, which is a manufacturer estimate for gentle draws. A light user might get one to two weeks, a moderate user around five to six days, and a heavy user around three to four. Long draws, chain vaping and high-strength nicotine all shorten the life.

Is it good value compared with other pods?

Per puff it sits in the same range as other pre-filled 2ml pods, with the trade-off that pods cost more per millilitre than refillable e-liquid. You pay for convenience, a fresh coil each time and no maintenance. Heavy users may save money on a refillable kit, while light and moderate users usually find the convenience worth it.

Who should buy this, and who should not?

It suits adult smokers and existing vapers who like fruit and ice flavours and want a simple, pocketable pod system. It is not for non-smokers, under-18s, or anyone who wants adjustable power, big clouds or a pod they can refill themselves. You also need a compatible Hayati Mini Ultra device for the pod to work.

Can I refill the pod when it is empty?

No, this is a sealed, pre-filled pod and it is not designed to be opened or refilled. Doing so risks leaks, a damaged coil and unsafe handling of nicotine liquid. When it runs out, fit a new pod and recycle the old one at a drop-off point.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes, we deliver to UK addresses and you must be 18 or over to order, and we may ask you to confirm your age. Delivery options, costs and cut-off times are shown at checkout, as they change with the carrier and the basket value. We do not deliver this product outside the UK.

What if my pod arrives faulty or damaged?

Keep the packaging, take clear photographs and contact customer support with your order number as soon as you notice the problem. Faulty or damaged goods are covered by UK consumer law, so we will look into a genuine fault and arrange a replacement or refund where appropriate. For hygiene reasons, pods that have been opened and used without a fault generally cannot be returned, so check our returns page for the full terms.
