Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 50/50 Banana Ice: The Essentials

Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 50/50 Banana Ice is a 100ml shortfill bottle supplied at 0mg, blended at a 50/50 ratio of vegetable glycerine to propylene glycol, priced at £7.99 with a BUY 2 FOR £14 offer attached. It is the bottled, large format expression of a flavour Hayati has built much of its reputation on.

A 50/50 shortfill at 100ml is a slightly unusual animal, and that is precisely what makes it interesting. Most 100ml bottles on the UK market are blended VG heavy for big sub ohm devices. This one is balanced, which puts it squarely in the hands of people running mouth to lung pod kits and refillable pod devices, who normally have to buy their liquid in 10ml bottles and end up paying far more per millilitre for the privilege.

In other words, this is bulk buying for the pod crowd. If you have spent the last year working through small bottles or sealed prefilled pods, a 100ml balanced blend changes your running costs substantially. You can see the rest of the large format range on our shortfill e-liquids page, and the complete Hayati collection runs to 721 products across bottles, pods and kits.

What 50/50 Actually Means

Every e-liquid is built on two carrier bases, and the ratio between them decides almost everything about how the liquid behaves.

Vegetable glycerine, the VG. Thick, slightly sweet, and responsible for vapour volume. High VG liquid produces dense clouds and is gentler on the throat, but it is viscous and needs a wide wicking channel to keep up.

Propylene glycol, the PG. Thin, effectively flavourless, and much better at carrying flavour compounds. It also produces a firmer sensation at the back of the throat, which is what most people mean when they talk about throat hit.

A 50/50 split sits exactly between the two, and that balance produces four practical consequences:

• It wicks easily. Thin liquid moves through tight cotton channels quickly, which is why small pod coils are designed around it.
• Flavour comes through clearly. More PG means more flavour carried per millilitre, so a balanced blend tends to taste sharper and more defined than the same recipe at high VG.
• Vapour is modest. You will not fog a room. That is a feature for anyone vaping discreetly rather than a shortcoming.
• Throat hit is present. Noticeable but not aggressive, which is one reason adults switching from smoking often prefer balanced blends.

The short rule: if your device has a tight, restricted draw and a small pod, 50/50 is the ratio it was designed for. Our refillable vape pods section covers the hardware side of that equation.

Banana Ice Across a Full 100ml

Buying 100ml of anything is a commitment, so the flavour needs to survive repetition. Banana Ice is a good candidate for that, and it is worth understanding why.

Banana in e-liquid can land in two very different places. The first is confectionery banana, the sharp, almost solvent brightness of a foam banana sweet. The second is fruit banana, soft, dense and faintly creamy, closer to what you actually taste when you eat one. Hayati aims at the second, and the menthol is layered over the top rather than mixed through it, so the two components stay distinguishable.

At 50/50 the flavour reads with more definition than the same profile in a VG heavy blend. The banana is more clearly articulated, the menthol is crisper and slightly sharper, and the finish is cleaner. Some people prefer the softer, rounder version a high VG mix produces; if you like your flavours precise, the balanced blend is the one.

Because it is one fruit plus cooling rather than a stack of five competing notes, it also resists palate fatigue better than complex blends do. That matters enormously over 100ml. Flavour profiles that feel exciting for the first 10ml often become exhausting by the fiftieth, whereas simple, well balanced ones stay drinkable indefinitely.

The Pro Max shortfill line covers twenty flavours in total, from Blue Razz Cherry and Blueberry Raspberry through Fizzy Cherry, Rainbow, Triple Mango and Vimbull Ice, so there is scope to rotate. For more of this style, browse the banana e-liquids collection, and if you want something darker to alternate with, Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts in Blackberry Ice at £2.69 sits at the opposite end of the fruit spectrum.

Supplied at 0mg: Who Buys Nicotine Free Liquid

This bottle is listed at 0mg, meaning it contains no nicotine as supplied. That is standard for large format bottles in the UK, because nicotine containing e-liquid can only be sold in bottles of up to 10ml under the regulations. Anything larger is sold nicotine free by definition.

Three distinct groups buy 0mg liquid, and they are looking for different things.

1. People who vape without nicotine at all. Some have reduced their intake gradually over months and arrived at zero while keeping the habit. Others never used nicotine and simply like the flavour and the ritual.
2. People who cut their own strength. Mixing a nicotine containing liquid with a 0mg liquid is how experienced vapers dial in a strength between the standard tiers. The nicotine element has to be bought separately, as its own product.
3. People who want volume for the price. 100ml at 0mg is simply the cheapest way to buy a lot of flavour, and for anyone already comfortable without nicotine it is the obvious format.

If you want nicotine in the same flavour and would rather it arrived ready mixed, Hayati bottles it as Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts in Banana Ice at £2.69, in the 10ml format the rules require. The wider 0mg e-liquids collection covers everything else we stock without nicotine, in every ratio and bottle size we carry.

The Cost per Millilitre Argument

This is where a 100ml bottle stops being a preference and starts being arithmetic.

At the single price of £7.99, this bottle works out at almost exactly 8p per millilitre. Under the BUY 2 FOR £14 offer, two bottles give you 200ml for £14.00, which is £7.00 each and 7p per millilitre. The offer saves £1.98 against buying two separately, and it clears the £20 free UK delivery threshold when combined with almost anything else in your basket.

Now compare that with the alternatives, using real prices from our own shelves:

• Prefilled pods. A sealed prefilled pod holds up to 2ml because that is the legal cap. At a typical £3.99 per pod, that is around £2.00 per millilitre.
• 10ml nicotine salts. At £2.69 for 10ml, that is roughly 27p per millilitre.
• This 100ml shortfill on offer. 7p per millilitre.

The gap is not marginal. Bottled liquid in volume is dramatically cheaper per millilitre than sealed pods, and that is the entire reason refillable devices exist. What you give up is convenience: you have to carry a bottle, fill the device yourself, and replace coils separately rather than getting a fresh one inside every pod.

For a lot of people the honest answer is both. Pods for work and travel where mess is unacceptable, a big bottle and a refillable device at home where it is not. Bought that way, the bottle takes the bulk of your consumption and the pods handle the awkward hours.

Matching the Liquid to Your Device

Balanced 50/50 liquid is forgiving, but it is not universal. A quick guide to where it belongs.

Where it works well

Refillable pod systems, compact mouth to lung kits, pen style devices and anything with a tight, restricted draw. These use higher resistance coils with narrow wicking ports, and thin liquid is exactly what they need to keep the cotton fed. Flavour is strong, throat hit is present, and the device will not struggle.

Where it works less well

Large sub ohm tanks built for direct to lung clouds. They can run a 50/50 liquid, but thin liquid in a wide wicking channel is more prone to seeping past the seals and into the airflow, and the throat hit at high power can become harsh. For those devices a VG heavy blend is the better match, which is why Hayati also produces this same Banana Ice flavour in a 70/30 version.

Coils and general upkeep

Whatever the ratio, coils are a consumable and their life depends on the liquid you run and how hard you push them. Heavily sweetened flavours build residue faster than clean ones. Prime a new coil by wetting the exposed cotton and letting the device stand for a few minutes before the first draw, and replace it when flavour goes flat rather than waiting for it to fail outright.

If you want a second flavour running in a different device so you are not committed to banana everywhere, options such as Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts in Black Mamba give you contrast for £2.69.

Storing and Handling a Large Bottle

A 100ml bottle can sit around for weeks or months depending on how much you vape, so a little care protects what you have paid for.

Keep it out of the light. Ultraviolet light degrades flavour compounds over time. A cupboard is better than a windowsill, and the original bottle is better than decanting into something clear.

Keep it cool and sealed. Warmth accelerates oxidation and makes flavours dull and slightly flat. Screw the cap down properly every time; a half closed bottle loses its top notes fastest, and menthol is among the first things to go.

Give it a shake. Ingredients can settle over long storage. Half a minute of shaking before filling redistributes everything and keeps the flavour consistent from the first pour to the last.

Decant for carrying. Taking a full 100ml bottle out with you is asking for a leak in a bag. Transfer what you need into a small labelled bottle and leave the main one at home.

Store it safely. Even at 0mg, e-liquid is not something children or pets should reach. High cupboard, cap closed, away from food.

Watch the colour. Liquid naturally darkens slightly with age. Gradual darkening is normal. A sudden change in colour or smell means it has been stored badly and is past its best.

Buying, Delivery and Age Verification

All of our stock is genuine and bought through legitimate UK supply, with correct labelling, ingredient listings and warnings as the regulations require. With bottled liquid in particular, provenance is worth caring about: you are buying something you will consume 100ml of, and an unlabelled bottle from an unknown source gives you no way to verify what is in it.

Delivery is free on UK orders over £20, so two bottles at the multibuy price sit just under the line and are usually paired with coils, pods or a second flavour to clear it. Orders placed before 4pm on a working day are dispatched the same day, and tracking is emailed as soon as the parcel leaves. Offers on popular lines are reviewed regularly, so check the basket total at checkout rather than assuming.

This is an age restricted product and we supply it only to adults aged 18+. Age is verified at checkout and couriers may request identification on delivery. This liquid is nicotine free as supplied, but it remains an age restricted product and is intended for adult vapers and adult smokers switching to vaping, not for anyone who does not already vape or smoke. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and dispose of empty bottles through plastics recycling.

Where this sits in the Hayati range

Brands are easier to judge by their range than by any one item in it. We stock 721 Hayati products, running from £2.69 to £14.99. That breadth means you can usually stay inside the brand when you want a change, rather than starting over somewhere else.

The full lineup is on the Hayati page. Other Hayati products worth a look:

• Hayati Pro Max Plus Pods Watermelon Ice at £5.49
• Hayati Rubik Pods and Refills Red Apple Ice at £3.99
• Hayati Pro Ultra Plus Pods Lemon & Mint at £7.99
• Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Strawberry Watermelon at £2.69

Brand loyalty in vaping is mostly about knowing what to expect, which counts for a lot.

How it compares to the rest of the category

Price alone is a poor guide, so it helps to see the field. We list 736 products in this category. At £7.99, this one sits in the middle of the market.

• Multibuy deals are where the price per unit drops hardest, and they can be mixed across flavours.
• Reduced lines carry 1,558 products if the budget is the deciding factor.
• Prefilled pods cost more per millilitre but remove the refilling entirely.
• Prefer this flavour family? Browse the whole family rather than guessing at names.

None of those is objectively right. They suit different routines and different budgets.

The running cost, worked out

Work out cost per week and product comparisons get much easier.

Without a published rating there is no honest per-puff maths to show, so we leave it out.

• The buy 2 for £14 offer is the single biggest lever on that number.
• Baskets over £20.00 ship free in the UK, so building to that threshold beats paying postage twice.
• Nicotine strength changes consumption: many adults find a higher strength means reaching for the device less often.

Banana Ice against the rest of the line

Same product, different flavour, is the fairest comparison available. There are 20 options under this name:

• Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
• Fresh mint
• Blue Razz Cherry
• Watermelon Lemon Burst
• Blue Sour Raspberry
• Triple Mango

Palate fatigue is real: rotating two profiles keeps both tasting sharper for longer. The buy 2 for £14 offer makes that cheap to do.

Why the UK market looks like this

Some of what you see on the shelf is regulation rather than brand choice. UK rules cap nicotine at 20mg per ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml, and prefilled pods and tanks at 2ml. Those three numbers explain most of the format quirks in this category.

Since single-use devices were banned, the market moved to rechargeables. Rechargeable kits with replaceable pods took their place, which is why a device now comes with a charging port and a pod you swap rather than a sealed unit you bin. It also means the device outlives the flavour, which changes how you shop.

All stock here meets those UK limits and comes through UK distribution. Sales are 18+ and every order is age-checked.

Buying this as a first purchase

New to this format? Three decisions cover almost everything.

1. Format. A bottle is the cheapest way to vape per millilitre, but you refill it yourself. Prefilled pods remove that job at a higher cost.
2. Strength. This comes in 0mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Banana Ice. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Get those three right and the rest is detail. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.

• Prime before the first draw. Fill, then wait a few minutes so the wick soaks fully. A dry first pull is what burns a coil.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

These are small habits that pay back in flavour consistency.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

Ordering is deliberately simple. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. Tracked options are shown at checkout.

Opened consumables are not returnable, which is standard for the category. If something arrives faulty or incorrect, contact us and we will sort it. This is an 18+ purchase and orders are age-checked before they ship.

Nicotine is addictive. These products are for adult smokers and vapers.

Nicotine strength, explained properly

Of every decision on this page, strength is the one worth thinking hardest about. This listing offers 0mg. UK law caps nicotine at 20mg per ml, so nothing sold legally here goes higher, and the honest question is how far below that ceiling you should sit.

The instinct is to go low, and it usually backfires. If a strength does not satisfy, you compensate by vaping more often, which costs more and rarely feels better. A heavier former smoker typically starts at the top of the range and steps down over weeks or months once the habit has settled. Someone who smoked lightly, or who has already been vaping a while, is usually comfortable in the middle.

There is a physical side to this as well. Higher strengths give a firmer hit at the back of the throat, which many people switching from cigarettes actively want, and which others find harsh. Nicotine salts are smoother than freebase at the same number, which is why bar-style liquids sit at 20mg without feeling like it. If you are unsure, buy one of each rather than committing to five of the wrong one. 10mg options and 20mg options are browsable separately.

Common problems and how to avoid them

The same handful of issues account for nearly every complaint.

A burnt taste on a new bottle. Almost always a coil that was not primed. Fill it, then leave it a few minutes before the first draw so the wick saturates properly. Drawing on dry cotton scorches it, and once burnt it does not recover.

Leaking. Usually heat or pressure. Warmth thins liquid and pushes it through seals, so a hot car or a sunny windowsill is the usual culprit. Cabin pressure on a flight does the same thing, which is why storing spares upright in a bag beats loose in a pocket.

Flavour fading. Frequently the palate rather than the product. If a flavour dulls after a week, switching to a contrasting profile for a day or two usually brings it back sharply.

Buying the wrong fitment. Pods are not universal, and even within one brand the families differ. Check the listing names your device before ordering rather than after. Spares and accessories are grouped separately if you need a replacement part.
