Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 Replacement Pods Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry: what is in the box

Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 Replacement Pods Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry are sealed, pre-filled nicotine salt pods designed to click into the Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 rechargeable device. Each pod costs £6.99 and is available in 10mg or 20mg strength. The battery section is the part you keep and recharge. The pod is the part you swap. When the liquid runs out you pull the old pod free, press a new one into the same slot and carry on, with no bottle to open, no coil to prime and no cotton to wick.

The flavour is a three-fruit blend of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. It sits in the sweet, rounded corner of the Hayati range, away from the cooled and menthol-tinged end. If you have used the two-fruit pods in the same family, such as Blueberry Raspberry or Blackberry Raspberry, this is the one that adds a strawberry layer on top. Other flavours we stock for the same device include Banana Ice, Cherry Berry, Grape Berry, Juicy Peach, Lemon and Lime and Fresh Mint, all at the same price, so choosing between them is a matter of taste and not budget.

Before you add anything to your basket, a few points of context are worth stating plainly:

• This is a pod, not a complete vape. On its own it does nothing. You need a Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 battery section to use it.
• It is not a Pro Max Plus 6000 pod. The 6000 line is listed as separate products. Read the model name printed on your device and buy the pod that matches it.
• It is not a bottle of e-liquid. Hayati also sells 100ml shortfill and 10ml nicotine salt bottles for refillable kits. Those are different products for a different style of vaping.
• It is for adults only. Nicotine products are sold to people aged 18 or over, and you will be asked to confirm your age when you order.

The rest of this page walks through what to expect from the pod in daily use: how long it lasts, how it tastes, how it is built, what the device needs to do for it, which strength to choose, who it suits, and how it compares with the other ways of getting nicotine without smoking. We have tried to keep to facts we can stand behind. Where the maker does not publish a figure, such as coil resistance or exact pod volume, we say so rather than inventing one.

What the 4000 puff rating means and how long a pod really lasts

The 4000 in the product name is a puff rating, and it helps to be clear about what kind of number that is. Manufacturers get these figures by running a machine that takes identical, evenly spaced draws until the liquid or battery gives out. People do not vape like machines. A long, slow pull uses much more liquid than a short sip, and someone taking a few puffs an hour will see a very different result from someone chaining twenty in a row. Treat 4000 as a way of comparing one product line with another, and as a ceiling that describes the whole system rather than a promise about any single pod.

There is also a legal limit that puts the number in perspective. Under UK rules, a refillable or prefilled nicotine vape container cannot hold more than 2ml of liquid, so any pod sold legitimately here sits inside that cap whatever is printed on the packaging. A rough sum shows the gap. Two millilitres of vape liquid weighs a little over two grams, and a typical draw on a pod device uses only a few milligrams of it. On that arithmetic one 2ml pod points to a few hundred puffs, not four thousand. That figure is our own estimate and not a Hayati specification, but it explains why the headline rating should be read as a system rating that assumes several pods over the life of a long-lasting battery section.

So what should you expect in practice? These are rules of thumb from how pods of this type behave and are not manufacturer claims:

• Light use, a few puffs in the evening or at weekends: a pod can last close to a week, sometimes a little longer.
• Moderate use, regular puffs through the day: roughly four to five days.
• Heavy use, replacing most of a smoking habit: around two to three days.

Several things shorten or stretch that range. Long, hard draws pull more liquid through the wick than short ones. A lower nicotine strength tends to encourage more frequent puffing, because you are chasing satisfaction. Warm environments thin the liquid slightly and can speed up consumption. A low battery can make a pod seem to run out early, because the vapour turns thin and cool long before the reservoir is actually empty.

The practical advice is to keep a spare. Fruit blends like this one rarely warn you with a sudden burnt taste. Instead, the flavour fades gradually and the vapour gets thinner over the final stretch. When the taste has flattened and a fully charged device still gives you little, the pod is finished. Carrying a spare in a pocket or bag, kept upright and away from heat, avoids the awkward moment of running out mid-journey.

Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry flavour profile in detail

Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry is a mixed-berry flavour with no Ice or Mint tag in its name. Hayati labels its cooled flavours clearly, such as Banana Ice, so you can expect a warm, sweet, fruit-forward vapour rather than a chilled one. Flavour is personal, and we have not copied tasting notes we cannot verify. Instead, here is how a strawberry, raspberry and blueberry combination of this style generally unfolds across a single draw.

• On the inhale: strawberry tends to lead. It is the sweetest and most recognisable of the three, with a soft, slightly jammy character closer to ripe summer fruit than to a sharp, green berry.
• Through the middle: raspberry cuts across the sweetness with a brighter, tarter edge. It stops the profile reading as a single sugary note and gives the vapour some lift.
• On the exhale: blueberry arrives last and rounder, adding a darker, mellow, slightly skin-like fruit quality that lingers on the tongue after the strawberry has faded.

On a sweetness scale, this sits around the middle to upper-middle of the Hayati range. It is noticeable without being syrupy. Three berries together can feel busy, but the contrast between the sweet strawberry, tart raspberry and soft blueberry helps stop any one of them dominating over a full day of use. Many vapers find blends like this easier to live with than single-note candy flavours, which can start to taste flat or cloying by day two.

How does it differ from its neighbours? Blueberry Raspberry, the two-fruit version, is a little darker and less sweet because it has no strawberry on top. Blackberry Raspberry leans moodier and more jammy. Cherry Berry pushes into a more candy-like territory. Grape Berry is a rounder, juicier profile with a clear grape note. If you are choosing between several, a sensible approach is to order two different styles in the same basket, for example this pod plus Lemon and Lime for something sharper, or Fresh Mint for a cooler change of pace. After a week you will know which direction you prefer.

Two practical notes on flavour. First, a brand-new pod tastes best once the wick has fully soaked, so give it a few minutes upright after fitting before your first puffs. Second, fruit liquids contain sugars that gradually build up on the coil. That is normal, and it is the reason why flavour slowly softens as a pod nears the end of its life. If you swap from a strongly flavoured pod to this one, expect a faint trace of the previous flavour for the first puff or two, which clears quickly.

Design and build quality of the pod

A replacement pod is a small, sealed component, and its build quality comes down to things you can check with your eyes and fingers. The body is a moulded plastic housing with a mouthpiece on top, a sealed reservoir for the liquid, and a coil seat with electrical contacts on the underside where it meets the device. The pod clicks into the bay on the Pro Max Plus 4000 and is held by a snug fit. A correctly seated pod sits flush with the body of the battery section and does not rock, wobble or leave a visible gap. We do not publish exact dimensions, weight or reservoir shape because the maker's listing does not give them, and we would rather leave them out than guess.

Sealed pods are made to be replaced, not repaired, and the design reflects that. The housing is light, the liquid is filled at the factory and there is no filling port to open. That is an advantage if you dislike spills and sticky fingers, and a limit if you enjoy experimenting, since you cannot top the pod up or change the liquid inside it.

When your order arrives, a thirty-second inspection is worthwhile:

• Packaging. The pod should come in its own wrapping, undamaged. If the outer pack is open, crushed or damp, do not use it, and get in touch with us.
• Liquid level. If the pod has a window, the liquid should sit near the top without large air gaps or streaks running down the outside.
• Contacts. The metal contacts or coil seat on the base should be clean and dry, with no residue.
• Mouthpiece. Remove any protective film or plug that the packaging tells you to take off, and check the opening is clear of dust.
• Label. Confirm that it reads Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry and that the strength matches what you ordered, 10mg or 20mg.

Fit and finish matter for another reason. Most leaks in sealed pods come from poor seating or from squeezing the soft reservoir, not from a defect. A pod that is pushed fully home, kept upright and not squashed in a tight jeans pocket will normally stay dry. Because the mouthpiece touches your lips, it is also sensible to wipe it with a clean, dry cloth when you change pods and now and then during use. It takes a few seconds and keeps the device tidier.

One further point on travel. Pods contain liquid and a small amount of trapped air, and both expand and contract with changes in temperature and pressure. If you are flying or taking a long car journey, keep the pod upright in a bag and do not leave it on a dashboard or a sunny window ledge. Warmth is the usual cause of seepage into a pocket.

Battery and charging: what the pod needs from the device

The pod contains no battery. All of the power comes from the Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 device it fits into, so a milliamp-hour figure belongs to the battery section and not to this listing. The maker's page for the pod does not state one, and we would rather say so than guess. For general orientation only, compact rechargeable pod devices of this class usually carry cells in the region of a few hundred to around a thousand milliamp-hours, which is typically enough for a day or two of ordinary use between charges. Check the figure on your own device or its box for the real number.

What matters from the pod's side is that the device delivers a steady level of power to the coil on each draw. This is where many apparent pod problems begin. A weakening battery produces thin, lukewarm, flat vapour that looks identical to a pod with no liquid left. Before you bin a pod that tastes disappointing, put the device on charge for a while and try again. If the vapour returns to normal, the battery was the cause and the pod is fine.

Sensible charging habits keep the device healthy for longer:

• Use the cable supplied with the device, or a good quality replacement, and plug it into a standard USB power source. Most current pod devices charge over USB-C, but check the connector on yours.
• A basic phone charger or a computer USB port is plenty. There is no benefit to a high-wattage fast charger, and poorly made budget chargers are a risk in their own right.
• Charge on a hard, clear surface where you can see it, never on a bed, sofa or under a pillow, and do not leave it charging unattended or overnight.
• Top up before the battery is completely flat. Running a lithium cell to zero again and again shortens its working life.
• Keep the device away from heat. A car dashboard in summer can ruin a battery and a pod in the same afternoon.
• Stop using any device that is swollen, hot while idle or visibly damaged, and take it to an electrical recycling point.

Charging time depends on the battery, the cable and the charger, so we will not quote a number of minutes that we cannot back up. As a general guide, leave the device connected until the indicator confirms a full charge. Try not to vape while it is plugged in, since that puts extra load on the cell and the connector. If you notice that you are charging far more often than before, the pod is more likely to be the culprit than the battery, because a fresh pod usually makes the battery seem to last longer.

Coil technology and draw feel

Inside every prefilled pod sits a coil, a small heating element in contact with an absorbent wick. When you draw on the mouthpiece, the device senses the airflow and sends power to the coil, which warms the liquid in the wick and turns it to vapour. The reservoir then refills the wick by capillary action as you go. Because the coil is part of the pod, each new pod brings a new coil with it. That is the main practical advantage of the format. You never have to decide whether a coil has worn out, because you change it every time.

The listing for this pod does not state a resistance in ohms or name a specific mesh or round-wire design, so we will not invent an ohm figure. What we can do is explain how the common designs differ, so you know what to expect from a prefilled pod in general:

• Mesh coils spread heat across a wide, flat surface. They usually give a quicker, more even vapour and a flavour that stays consistent through the life of the pod.
• Round-wire coils wrapped in cotton or ceramic are simpler and are often a touch crisper on flavour, though they can be more sensitive to how hard you draw.
• Higher-resistance coils suit nicotine salts at modest power and give a tight, mouth-to-lung style draw.

Because this is a nicotine salt pod, it is built for that tighter style of use. You take the vapour into your mouth first, pause, and then inhale, which is much closer to the feel of a cigarette than to the large, airy clouds produced by a sub-ohm tank. Salt nicotine is also gentler on the throat than traditional freebase nicotine at the same strength, which is why a 20mg salt can feel noticeably smoother than a freebase liquid carrying the same number.

Why are pods replaced instead of topped up? Sugars and sweeteners in fruit liquids gradually caramelise on the coil, and the wick can clog over time. Berry blends such as this one show it more than a tobacco or menthol flavour would. Replacing the whole pod avoids the problem. If the flavour turns muted or slightly burnt before the liquid runs out, the coil is telling you it has done its job, and a fresh pod will bring the taste back.

Treat a new pod gently. Let it stand upright for a few minutes after fitting so the wick can saturate fully, take two or three short, gentle draws first, and avoid long, hard pulls in the opening minutes. Dry-hitting a coil that has not yet wetted burns the wick and gives a harsh, scorched taste that never fully clears. A little patience at the start protects the whole pod.

Choosing between 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt

These pods come in two strengths, 10mg and 20mg, which are shorthand for milligrams of nicotine per millilitre of liquid. Twenty milligrams per millilitre, or 2 per cent, is the maximum strength allowed for nicotine vapes sold in the UK, and it applies to pods like these in the same way it applies to any other nicotine vape product. Ten milligrams is half of that. Choosing the right one matters more than most people expect, because the wrong strength can make a good flavour feel disappointing.

As a starting point:

• Choose 20mg if you currently smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, if you smoke your first one soon after waking, or if you have tried lower strengths before and found they left you reaching for a cigarette.
• Choose 10mg if you smoke fewer than ten a day, if you are an occasional or social smoker, if you are moving across from a lower-strength vape, or if you find strong hits unpleasant.

Do not judge strength by throat feel alone. Salt nicotine is smooth by design, so a 20mg pod can feel gentler than the number suggests. A common mistake is to assume that a smooth hit means a weak one, then to buy the higher strength and end up feeling light-headed, queasy or jittery. If that happens, put the device down, drink some water and choose the lower strength next time.

The opposite mistake is just as common. Someone who smokes heavily buys 10mg, finds it unsatisfying and ends up puffing constantly, which uses the pod up quickly and keeps the craving going. If you are a heavier smoker and 10mg leaves you wanting more, the higher strength is the better tool, not a step backwards.

If you are unsure, start at 10mg and step up only if you need to. Over time many people find they can drop down a strength as the cravings ease, which is exactly the direction of travel the product is meant to support. We cannot give personal medical advice, and if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using any nicotine product. Free local stop smoking services across the UK can also help you plan a step-down.

Who these pods are for, and who should look elsewhere

These pods are best matched to a particular kind of adult, and being straightforward about that saves wasted money.

They suit:

• Adult smokers who want to move to a lower-odour, tidier alternative and already own, or plan to buy, a Hayati Pro Max Plus 4000 device.
• Existing Pro Max Plus 4000 owners who want a fruit flavour with more going on than a single berry.
• Vapers who dislike refilling, spills and coil changes, and who accept paying a little more per millilitre for the convenience.
• People who like to rotate flavours. Any pod made for the device fits the same battery section, so you can keep two or three flavours on hand and swap between them.
• Anyone who prefers a quiet, discreet, pocket-sized device that is simple to operate, since there are no buttons or settings to learn on most pod systems of this type.

They are less suitable for:

• Anyone under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vapes to under-18s and we do not do so.
• Non-smokers and non-vapers. Nicotine is addictive. If you do not already use nicotine, there is no reason to start.
• People who want menthol or tobacco. This is a fruit-forward berry pod. Look at Fresh Mint or another flavour in the line instead.
• Heavy vapers on a tight budget. A sealed pod costs more per millilitre than a refillable system with bottled liquid. If you vape a great deal and do not mind a little more effort, a refillable kit will be cheaper over a year.
• Anyone who owns a different device. These pods are made for the Pro Max Plus 4000 and should not be assumed to fit other Hayati models, including the Pro Max Plus 6000.
• People who are pregnant or have a heart condition and have not had medical advice first.

One more category worth mentioning is people who want a one-off, throw-away device. Single-use disposable vapes have been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025. A rechargeable device paired with replaceable pods is the format that has taken their place. If you used to buy disposables and want something similar in convenience, with less waste, this is the sort of product to consider.

How to fit, use, store and recycle your pods

Fitting a pod is a ten-second job, but doing it carefully makes a real difference to how the pod behaves. Follow the order below the first time and it will soon become habit.

• Step one, check the device. Make sure the Pro Max Plus 4000 battery section has some charge. A near-flat battery is the most common reason a new pod seems weak.
• Step two, prepare the pod. Take it out of its wrapping, remove any film, cap or plug the packaging tells you to remove, and check the mouthpiece is clear.
• Step three, seat it firmly. Line the pod up with the bay and press it in until it sits flush and clicks or holds. If there is a gap or it rocks, take it out and try again rather than forcing it.
• Step four, let it settle. Hold the device upright for two or three minutes so the wick can soak up liquid around the coil.
• Step five, start gently. Take a couple of short, soft draws before settling into your normal pace. The device is draw-activated on this type of system, so there is nothing to press in most cases.

In everyday use, short pulls of two to three seconds with a pause between them give the best flavour and the longest pod life. Long, hard draws pull in more liquid than the coil can vaporise cleanly and tend to produce a hot, harsh vapour. Vaping in a way that suits you matters more than chasing volume, because a salt nicotine pod is designed to deliver its hit in a modest amount of vapour.

Storage is straightforward. Keep spare pods in their wrapping, upright, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, away from children and pets. A drawer or a bag pocket is fine. A car glovebox in July is not. Never leave pods or devices where small children can reach them, since both the liquid and the battery are hazards if swallowed or chewed.

Disposal deserves the same care as use. A spent pod still holds a little liquid and a coil, so it counts as electrical waste, and the battery section contains a lithium cell. Do not put either in your household bin or kerbside recycling, because crushed lithium batteries can start fires in collection vehicles and waste sites. Instead, take them to:

• A shop that sells vapes, since UK retailers are required to take back waste vape products.
• Your local household waste recycling centre, which usually has a small electricals container.
• An electrical recycling bin at a supermarket or retail park, where available.

Your local council website will list the nearest drop-off point. Recycling is not just a courtesy. The metals in the battery and the plastic housing can be recovered, and it keeps hazardous waste out of landfill.

Troubleshooting: when a pod is not behaving

Most pod problems are small and fixable. Work through the likely causes in order before assuming the pod is faulty, because the real culprit is often the battery, the seating or the way the pod has been used.

• No vapour at all. Check the pod is fully seated and the contacts on both sides are clean and dry. Wipe them with a dry cloth or cotton bud. Make sure the battery has charge, and that the device is not locked or blinking an error. Remove any protective plug from the mouthpiece.
• Weak or thin vapour. Charge the device first. If the pod is brand new, you may simply need to wait a few minutes for the wick to saturate. If it is an older pod and the flavour has faded across a day or two, it is probably nearly empty.
• Burnt or harsh taste. This is the classic sign of a dry coil. Stop using the pod, let it rest upright, and take only very short draws if you try it again. If the taste stays scorched, the wick has dried out and the pod is finished.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid is sitting around the coil, usually after a pod has been squeezed or stored on its side. Hold the device upright, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, and wipe away anything that has gathered.
• Leaking. Check the seating first, then check whether the pod was squashed in a pocket or left in the heat. Wipe the contacts and mouthpiece dry before reusing. A pod that continues to leak badly should be replaced, and if it arrived damaged, contact us.
• Flavour tastes different from the last pod. A small difference between batches is normal, as is a trace of the previous flavour for the first couple of puffs after a swap. A noticeably different taste on a brand-new pod is worth reporting.
• Device will not charge. Try another cable and power source, then clean the charging port gently with a dry cotton bud. If it still fails, stop trying and contact the retailer.

A final point on safety. If a device ever becomes unusually hot, swells, smells of burning or makes a hissing noise, unplug it, move it somewhere safe and non-flammable if you can do so without risk, and stop using it. Do not try to repair a device yourself, and do not puncture or crush a pod or battery section.

Value for money: the cost per pod and per day

At £6.99 per pod, with the same price across every flavour in the Pro Max Plus 4000 line, the sums are simple enough to do on the back of an envelope. We have already said that the 4000 puff rating describes the system and not a single 2ml pod, so the fairest way to judge cost is per day of use and not per puff.

Using our rule of thumb of up to a week of use for a light vaper and two to three days for a heavy one, the running costs come out roughly as follows:

• Light use, around seven days per pod: about £1 a day.
• Moderate use, four to five days per pod: about £1.40 to £1.75 a day.
• Heavy use, around three days per pod: about £2.33 a day.
• Very heavy use, around two days per pod: about £3.50 a day.

These are estimates and not guarantees, and your own figure depends on strength, draw style and how often you puff. They are a useful baseline, though, and for most adults they compare well with the cost of a daily smoking habit in the UK, where a pack of twenty cigarettes now costs well over £10.

Where else does the money go? Delivery is free on orders over £20, and three pods come to £20.97, so a basket of three clears the threshold. That is enough to try this pod, one other berry flavour and one from a different family, or simply to stock up on a favourite. Ordering a few at once also protects you from running out at an inconvenient moment, which is a cost of its own.

Value is not only about the sticker price. A sealed pod saves you the expense of bottles and spare coils, the wastage that comes with refilling, and the time spent doing it. It also avoids the spills that come with filling a small tank. Against that, you pay a premium per millilitre for the convenience, and a pod is a fixed size that cannot be topped up. Anyone who vapes a great deal and does not mind extra work will spend less over a year with a refillable setup.

The surest way to protect your money is to buy the right strength and flavour the first time. A pod you dislike or cannot finish is wasted. If you are uncertain about strength, start lower. If you are uncertain about flavour, order two different styles in the same basket so that you learn quickly what suits you, and then buy more of that one. Finally, buying from a proper supply chain, with sealed packaging and a clear retailer behind it, matters. Very cheap pods from unknown sources are a false economy, because counterfeit and unregulated products can contain unknown liquid and are not covered by any returns policy.

How these pods compare with the alternatives, fairly

No product suits everybody, so here is an honest look at where this pod sits against the other main ways of getting nicotine without smoking.

Against other Pro Max Plus 4000 flavours. Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry is a sweet-leaning, three-fruit blend. If you prefer your berries darker and less sugary, Blueberry Raspberry or Blackberry Raspberry may suit you better. If you want sharpness, Lemon and Lime does that job. If you want something cooler, Banana Ice and Fresh Mint are the routes to take. The device, strength options and price are the same, so the only thing you are choosing is flavour.

Against the Pro Max Plus 6000 line. The 6000 products are sold separately, both as prefilled kits and in multipacks, and carry a higher puff rating. Because UK rules cap each pod at 2ml, that rating again describes the wider system and not any one pod. The simple rule is to buy for the device you own. If you are choosing a device from scratch, compare the current listings for both lines and pick the one whose size, battery and price suit you.

Against refillable pod systems. Devices such as the Aspire Gotek X use pods you fill yourself from a bottle of nicotine salt liquid. They usually cost less per millilitre, let you choose from thousands of liquids and give you control of strength, but they ask more of you: filling, wiping, occasional leaks and coil changes. A sealed pod like this one costs more per millilitre, but there is nothing to do except click it in. If simplicity is your priority, the sealed route wins. If cost over a year is your priority, refillable wins.

Against disposable vapes. Single-use disposables are no longer sold in Great Britain, so the comparison is mostly about what has replaced them. A rechargeable device with swappable pods gives you the same convenience at a lower waste cost, since only the small pod is thrown away, not the battery as well. The downside is that you have to remember to charge the device, and you need to buy the pods separately.

Against nicotine pouches, gum and patches. These deliver nicotine without any inhaled vapour at all. They suit people who do not want the hand-to-mouth action or the vapour, and they are useful in places where vaping is not allowed. They do not replicate the habit of smoking in the way a vape does, which is why many smokers find the vape easier to switch to. Different people respond to different tools, and some use both.

Against continuing to smoke. This is the comparison that matters most. Vaping is not risk-free, but UK public health bodies have said that it is far less harmful than smoking tobacco, and that it can help smokers quit. If you do not smoke, none of this applies to you, and you should not start. If you do, switching fully is the point of a product like this.
