Hayati Quokka Pro Vape Kit overview

The Hayati Quokka Pro Vape Kit is a compact, rechargeable pod-style kit from Hayati, a brand most UK vapers know from its large-format disposable range. A disposable is thrown away when the liquid or battery runs out. A kit is built to be used again: you keep the battery section, recharge it over USB-C, and swap the pod when the flavour is spent or you fancy a change. That distinction matters more than it used to. Single-use vapes have been banned from sale in the UK since 1 June 2025, so reusable kits like this one are where much of the old disposable market has gone.

The Quokka Pro is sold as a family of eight flavours, so you pick a profile when you order instead of being locked into one taste. It is aimed at adults who already smoke or vape and want something simple: no coil to prime by hand, no tank to strip down, no liquid to pour, and very little to learn. If you have used a pod kit before, you will understand it within one session. If you have only ever used disposables, the step up is small.

A note on numbers before we go further. Where we quote figures in this guide, they are either set by UK law (the 2ml pod ceiling and the 20mg/ml nicotine ceiling) or they are typical for pod kits in this class. The specification table on this page and the packaging on the unit you receive are the final word, and we flag the few places where it is worth checking before you buy.

• Format: pod-style kit, typically draw-activated, with a rechargeable battery body
• Pod capacity: up to 2ml, the UK maximum for replaceable and refillable pods and tanks
• Nicotine: up to 20mg/ml under UK rules; lower strengths are widely used
• Charging: USB-C
• Flavours in this family: eight
• Age restriction: 18 and over only; sold to existing smokers and vapers, not to non-smokers

The rest of this guide covers how the kit performs, what each flavour direction tastes like, how it is built, how long the battery lasts, what the coil does, which nicotine strength to choose, who should and should not buy it, how to set it up, what to do when something goes wrong, whether it is worth the money, and how it stacks up against other kits you might be considering.

Performance and puff delivery

Pod kits are judged on three things: how consistent the vapour is from the first puff to the last, how quickly the device responds when you draw, and how many puffs you get from a pod. The Quokka Pro is set up as a mouth-to-lung or tight-draw style device, which is the right format for 10mg and 20mg nicotine strengths and is the closest match for people moving from cigarettes. You draw gently, like sipping through a narrow straw, and hold the vapour briefly in your mouth before inhaling or exhaling.

On puff count, the maths is straightforward. A 2ml pod holds the most e-liquid the law allows. Most pod coils use somewhere between 0.003ml and 0.005ml of liquid per puff, depending on how long and hard you draw. That puts a full pod at roughly 400 to 600 puffs. A gentle, short drawer will sit at the top of that range, and someone taking long, deep pulls will sit at the bottom. This is a very different number from the 600, 3,000 or 10,000 puff figures printed on old disposables, and it is worth being clear about it: those larger figures were achieved by packing in far more liquid than UK rules now allow for a refillable or replaceable format.

What you gain in exchange is control. You are never stuck with a depleted device that still has a working battery. When a pod runs low, you change it, and the same battery carries on. Over a month, a typical light-to-moderate user will go through a handful of pods, which makes the running cost easy to predict.

Vapour quality depends on the coil, the battery output and the liquid. In practice, you should expect:

• Quick response: vapour on the first moment of the draw, with no noticeable delay or lag
• Steady flavour: consistent taste through the pod rather than a strong start that fades
• Moderate vapour volume: clearly visible but not cloud-chasing, which suits indoor, discreet use
• Throat hit: noticeable at 20mg/ml, mild at 10mg/ml and below

One behaviour to be aware of is that performance drops off in the last 10 to 15 percent of a pod. Flavour thins, the vapour can turn slightly warmer, and you may hear a gurgle as the wick runs short of liquid. That is your signal to swap the pod rather than keep pushing it, because a dry coil gives a burnt taste that ruins the pod's remaining life. If you chain-vape, plan to carry a spare pod.

Cold weather also affects delivery. A pod left in a cold car or coat pocket in winter becomes thicker and slower to wick, so the first few draws can feel muted. Warm the kit in your hand for a minute and take a couple of short test puffs before settling in.

Flavour profiles across the eight-flavour range

Hayati built its reputation on bold, sweet and cooling flavours, and the Quokka Pro family follows the same approach across its eight options. The exact lineup can change as stock rotates, so use the flavour selector on this page to see what is available today. In general the family spreads across the main directions UK vapers ask for, and the descriptions below tell you what each direction is likely to taste like so you can choose confidently.

• Blue raspberry ice: a candy-style tart blueberry-and-raspberry blend with a cold finish. It is one of the most popular directions in UK vaping and a sensible first choice if you are unsure.
• Strawberry watermelon: a juicy, sweet pairing, with the watermelon softening the strawberry. Light and easy to vape all day, with or without a cooling note.
• Mixed berry: a rounder, jammier profile built around raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry. Fuller than single-fruit flavours and less sharp than the blue raspberry style.
• Mango and peach: tropical and sweet, with a smooth finish. It suits people who find menthol or ice too cold.
• Cherry cola: a fizzy, sweet cherry with a cola edge. It works well as a change from fruit for people who do not like mint.
• Fresh mint or menthol: a cleaner, cooler option, and the closest of the range to a traditional menthol cigarette for people stepping down.
• Lemon and lime or sour candy: a sharper, zesty direction with a lemonade-like brightness for anyone who wants something less sweet.
• Tobacco or cream tobacco: where available, a milder, rounder tobacco taste for those who want the least distance from smoking.

Which one should you pick? If your goal is to stop smoking, it can help to move away from tobacco-flavoured liquids over time rather than stay in them, because fruit and mint flavours are generally easier to keep using and make it less tempting to go back to cigarettes. Independent reviews of vaping for smoking cessation, including those from UK public health bodies, have found that flavour variety is one of the things people point to for sticking with it. If you are already vaping and just need a convenient kit, choose what you enjoy most.

Ice and cooling versions use a menthol-type cooling agent. These are not the same as a mint flavour and feel like a cold sensation at the back of the throat rather than a minty taste. If you find cold flavours harsh, pick the non-ice variant of the same fruit where one exists, or try a mango or berry option.

Flavour does fade as a pod is used, and it is normal for a pod to taste slightly different at the start than at the end. If you find a pod tastes flat after only a few days, it may be a sign you are vaping a lot, or that the wick is starting to run low. Switching to a fresh pod in the same flavour usually brings the taste straight back.

Design and build quality

The Quokka Pro follows the compact pod-kit layout that has become standard: a slim, pocket-sized battery body with the pod seating into the top, and a mouthpiece built into the pod. There is no screen, no menu and no settings. Everything you need to know is communicated by the indicator light, which makes the device approachable for first-time buyers and unobtrusive for anyone who likes to keep things simple.

In use, the points that matter in a kit of this type are the following.

• Size and weight: light enough to carry in a jacket pocket or a bag without noticing it, and short enough to sit comfortably in a closed hand. Most kits in this class weigh somewhere between 40g and 70g with the pod fitted.
• Body finish: a metal or coated plastic shell is normal at this price. A matte coating hides fingerprints, while gloss finishes tend to show them. The finish on your unit will match the photographs on this page.
• Pod fit: the pod should push in firmly and sit flush, with a clear click or magnetic seat. A pod that wobbles is a sign it has not been fully inserted, and it is the most common cause of a kit that will not fire.
• Mouthpiece: a slim, slightly flattened drip tip is comfortable for long sessions and keeps the draw tight and cool.
• Charging port: USB-C, which means you can use the same cable as most modern phones and do not need to hunt for a proprietary lead.

Build quality is where being honest matters. A kit at this price point is not machined from a single piece of aluminium, and it is not meant to survive being dropped onto a pavement. Treat it as you would a lighter or a mobile phone: keep it in a pocket without keys or loose change, keep it out of direct heat, and do not leave it in a hot car. If it does take a knock, check that the pod still seats properly and that nothing is leaking before using it again.

The pod itself is a sealed unit with an integrated coil. That means you cannot (and should not try to) take it apart. It also means there is nothing to clean other than wiping the mouthpiece and the contact points on the base with a dry cloth now and then, which is worth doing every few days to keep the connection between pod and battery clean.

The Quokka name has a friendly tone and the exterior design takes the same approach, with a clean look rather than aggressive styling. If you want something that does not look like a vape at first glance, it is a reasonable choice.

Battery and charging

Battery capacity in pod kits of this type typically falls somewhere between 500mAh and 1,000mAh, and the Quokka Pro sits within that band. Check the specification table on this page for the exact rating on the unit you are buying. For reference, a 500mAh battery will usually run through one to one-and-a-half 2ml pods per charge for an average user, and a 1,000mAh battery will usually run through two or more. Actual figures vary with how long and often you draw.

Charging is over USB-C. You will usually see the indicator light change colour or flash during charging and either go solid or switch off when full. A full charge on a kit of this size typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the capacity and the power of the charger you use.

A few habits will help the battery last for the life of the kit:

• Use a sensible charger: a standard 5V phone charger or a laptop USB port is fine. Avoid unbranded, very cheap chargers, which can have poorly regulated output.
• Do not charge unattended overnight: lithium cells are safe in normal use, but the general advice from UK fire services is not to leave any lithium-powered device charging while you sleep or are out of the house.
• Avoid heat: do not charge or store the kit in direct sunlight, on a radiator or in a parked car.
• Top up rather than drain: lithium batteries last longer if they are charged before reaching zero rather than being run flat every time.
• Stop if it swells or gets hot: if the body feels hot to touch while charging, is visibly swollen or smells unusual, unplug it and stop using it.

When the battery runs low, you will usually notice a flashing light on draw, weaker vapour or a device that stops firing altogether. These are normal low-battery behaviours and do not mean a fault. Plug the kit in, give it a few minutes, and try again.

Battery life will decline over time, as it does with any rechargeable device. Expect hundreds of full charge cycles before you notice a meaningful drop. If you vape heavily and charge every day, that is roughly a year or more of normal use before capacity noticeably reduces.

When the kit finally reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the bin or in kerbside recycling. Lithium batteries cause fires in refuse lorries and recycling plants. Take it to a retailer that offers a vape take-back service, or a household waste recycling centre that accepts small electricals, and ask for it to go in the battery or WEEE container. Used pods should be recycled the same way where facilities allow.

Coil and mesh technology

The coil is the part of a vape that heats the liquid, and it is the single biggest influence on flavour, vapour density and pod life. In pod kits of this class, the pod contains an integrated coil, and you replace the whole pod rather than the coil on its own. The Quokka Pro uses this sealed-pod approach, which removes the guesswork about priming, resistance and compatibility.

There are two coil styles you are likely to come across. A traditional round-wire coil is wrapped around a cotton wick. A mesh coil uses a flat, perforated metal sheet that sits against a larger area of cotton. Mesh coils have become the preferred choice on modern pods because the larger heating surface warms the liquid more evenly, which tends to produce a smoother, fuller flavour and a faster warm-up. They are also less prone to hot spots, which is why a mesh pod usually tastes more consistent over its life than a basic wire-coil pod.

For a kit in this category, the resistance is normally in the range of about 0.6 to 1.2 ohms. Higher resistance coils run cooler and are suited to tighter draws and stronger nicotine. Lower-resistance coils run warmer and produce more vapour, which suits lower nicotine strengths. The Quokka Pro is designed for a tight, mouth-to-lung draw, and the combination of coil and airflow reflects that.

Things that affect how long a coil lasts:

• Draw length: short, gentle draws heat the coil less than long, hard draws.
• Time between puffs: leaving 20 to 30 seconds between draws lets the wick re-saturate.
• Liquid composition: sweeter liquids leave more residue on the coil, which is why very sweet flavours tend to need pod changes slightly earlier than mint or tobacco.
• Priming: a new pod needs a few minutes for the liquid to soak into the cotton before the first draw. Skipping this is the most common way to burn out a new coil on day one.

Signs that a coil is nearing the end: a burnt or acrid taste, noticeably weaker flavour, thin vapour, or a gurgling sound with a faint crackle. When this happens, the fix is a new pod. Trying to push on with a dying coil is unpleasant, and it does not save any money because you will be changing the pod soon anyway.

Because coils are sealed into the pods, there is no tank to clean and no spare coil head to buy. This is part of what makes the Quokka Pro approachable, and it also explains why most of the running cost sits in the pods themselves.

Nicotine strength guidance

UK law caps nicotine in e-liquid at 20mg/ml (often written 2%), and this applies to every pod and refill sold. There is no stronger option available legally, so you do not need to look for one. What you need to decide is whether to choose the 20mg/ml ceiling or something lower, and the answer depends on how much you smoked or vaped before and how you plan to use the kit.

As a rough guide:

• 20mg/ml (2%): for people moving from around 10 or more cigarettes a day, or from a heavier-strength disposable. It gives a firm throat hit and delivers nicotine quickly enough to satisfy cravings with fewer puffs.
• 10mg/ml (1%): for lighter smokers, social smokers, and anyone who finds 20mg/ml harsh. It is also a sensible step down once you have been using 20mg/ml for a few weeks and want to reduce.
• 5mg/ml or below: for those close to being nicotine-free, or those using a kit as a habit replacement rather than as a nicotine source.

It is worth knowing that a high-strength pod in a pod kit delivers nicotine efficiently, because salt nicotine formulations are absorbed more quickly and feel smoother than freebase nicotine at the same strength. This is why 20mg/ml salt pods can feel gentler on the throat than you might expect, and also why it is easy to overdo it. If you feel lightheaded, nauseous, or have a racing pulse, stop and wait. You have gone too high, either in strength or in the number of puffs.

Choosing too low a strength is a common mistake for people coming off cigarettes. If you pick 10mg/ml and find yourself puffing constantly, never quite satisfied, or still reaching for a cigarette, you may need 20mg/ml. On the other side, if you were a light smoker and 20mg/ml leaves you coughing, step down.

The goal for most people is to reduce nicotine over time. A common path is 20mg/ml for the first month, 10mg/ml for the next few months, and then lower still. This is a personal decision, and you can talk to a local stop-smoking service, a pharmacist or your GP if you want support. NHS stop-smoking services across the UK offer free help, including advice on using vaping as part of a quit attempt.

Please note that nicotine is addictive, and vaping products are intended for adults who smoke or already vape. They are not for under-18s, non-smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone with a heart condition unless advised by a clinician.

Who the Quokka Pro suits, and who should skip it

No single kit suits everyone. The Quokka Pro is designed around simplicity, and that is both its strength and its limit. Here is an honest breakdown.

It is a good fit if you:

• are an adult smoker looking for a reusable alternative and want something that is easy to run from day one
• have used disposables and want to move to a rechargeable kit without learning how to build coils or mix liquid
• prefer a mouth-to-lung, cigarette-like draw rather than large clouds
• want a pocketable device that you can carry without thinking about it
• like the idea of choosing between eight set flavours instead of buying and mixing bottles
• value a predictable cost per week and do not want to manage tanks, coils and liquids

You may want to skip it if you:

• do not currently smoke or vape. Vaping is not risk-free, and there is no benefit for non-smokers.
• want a high-wattage, big-cloud device with adjustable power and airflow. A mod or a larger refillable kit is better suited.
• want to use your own e-liquid. A sealed-pod system generally only works with the manufacturer's pods, so check this carefully before buying if freedom to choose liquids matters to you.
• vape very heavily. If you get through more than a couple of pods a day, running costs will add up, and a refillable kit with a larger battery and a tank may cost less over time.
• need to avoid any possibility of a leak in a bag. All pod devices can leak occasionally, especially with changes in pressure or temperature, so carry it upright and in a separate pocket.

It is also worth saying plainly that for people who have been smoking for many years, a vape is a tool for quitting, not an end in itself. If you want to stop nicotine altogether, results are generally better when you combine a vape with behavioural support, and a lowering of strength over several months.

Under UK law, vaping products must not be sold to anyone under 18, and a retailer must not knowingly sell to an adult on behalf of a minor. If you are buying for a friend or family member who is under 18, that is an offence. We apply age verification at checkout and on delivery for this reason.

How to set up and use the kit

Setting up a pod kit takes about five minutes, mostly spent waiting for the wick to soak. Follow these steps for a clean start.

• Charge first: if the kit arrives uncharged, plug it in using the USB-C lead for at least 30 to 60 minutes before the first use. Some kits ship partly charged, but a top-up does no harm.
• Unwrap the pod: remove any film, plastic cap or silicone bung from the pod. Check that the liquid chamber is full and the pod has no visible cracks.
• Seat the pod: push it into the battery body until it clicks or seats firmly. It should sit flush with no gap.
• Wait to prime: leave the assembled kit upright for three to five minutes so the cotton can saturate. This is the single most useful habit for protecting a fresh coil.
• Take a couple of gentle test draws: two or three short, soft pulls without inhaling deeply. This pulls liquid through the coil and confirms the device is working.
• Start vaping: draw slowly for two to three seconds, hold the vapour in your mouth for a moment, then inhale or exhale as you prefer.

Most kits of this type are draw-activated, which means there is no button to press. The battery senses airflow when you inhale through the mouthpiece. If your kit does have a button or an on-off sequence (some units require five quick presses to lock or unlock), check the quick-start card in the box.

To change a pod, pull the old one straight out, fit the new one, and again wait a few minutes before drawing. Keep the used pod away from children and pets, and recycle it in line with local guidance rather than putting it in household waste, as it contains residual nicotine and a coil.

For day-to-day use, a few good habits go a long way:

• Keep the kit upright when not in use, particularly if you carry it in a bag.
• Wipe the mouthpiece and the metal contacts on the pod base once a week with a dry cloth or cotton bud.
• Do not take long, back-to-back draws. Let the coil rest for a few seconds between puffs.
• Do not leave the kit in hot places such as a car in summer.
• Keep a spare pod with you if you tend to vape heavily.

If you will be travelling, vapes should go in hand luggage, not in the hold, because lithium batteries are restricted in checked bags by airlines. Most airlines also ask that you do not vape on board or charge the device from the aircraft supply. Check the rules for your carrier and destination before you fly.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with pod kits have simple causes and quick fixes. Work through these before assuming something is broken.

• The kit will not fire when I draw: check the battery first. Plug it in for ten minutes and try again. Then remove the pod and reseat it firmly, making sure the contacts are clean and dry. Finally, check that the airflow hole at the base or side of the pod is not blocked by a finger or a pocket lining.
• The light flashes but I get no vapour: the pod may be empty, or the coil may be dry. Try a fresh pod. If a brand-new pod does the same, leave it for five minutes to prime and try again.
• It tastes burnt: this almost always means the coil has run dry or reached the end of its life. Change the pod. In future, leave a few seconds between puffs, avoid very long draws, and replace the pod when flavour starts to thin out.
• The vapour is weak or flavour is flat: check the battery level, then check the pod level. If both are fine, try a few short draws to refresh the wick. Cold temperatures can also reduce output until the kit warms up.
• The pod is leaking: small amounts of condensation at the base are normal. Active leaking is not. Remove the pod, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth, and check the pod for cracks. Do not overfill, do not squeeze the pod, and avoid storing the kit on its side or upside down.
• I hear gurgling: condensation has collected in the airway. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, and wipe it dry.
• The kit will not charge: try a different USB-C cable and a different power source. Look inside the port with a torch to check for lint, which can stop the plug making contact. Clear it gently with a wooden or plastic toothpick, never metal.
• It gets hot: brief warmth during use is normal. If the body becomes uncomfortably hot, stop using it and let it cool. If it is hot while charging, unplug it immediately.
• The light flashes repeatedly: flashing patterns usually signal low battery, a short circuit or a connection fault. The leaflet in your box lists the exact pattern for your unit.

If none of this helps, contact us with your order number and a short description or photo of the problem. Kits sold in the UK are covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which means goods must be of satisfactory quality and as described. If a kit is faulty when it arrives, you have the right to a repair, replacement or refund, and we will help you through whichever applies. Please keep the original packaging until you are sure everything works.

Value for money

Judging value on a pod kit means looking at three costs: the kit itself, the pods you will go through, and what you were spending before. It is easy to focus on the starting price alone, but the running cost matters more over several months.

The kit gives you the battery body, a USB-C lead and usually a first pod. After that, each additional pod costs a few pounds, and a 2ml pod lasts roughly 400 to 600 puffs. A moderate vaper using one pod every two to three days will spend a fraction of what a pack-a-day smoker spends on cigarettes. At current UK cigarette prices, a 20-a-day smoker spends well over £100 a month, so a kit with pods costing a small proportion of that pays for itself quickly.

Compared with the disposables it replaces, the numbers also work in your favour once you stop throwing away a working battery. A disposable costs somewhere in the region of £5 to £7 and was typically finished in a few days for a heavy user. A rechargeable kit takes one battery, charged hundreds of times, plus pods. Even allowing for the pod price, the cost per week is generally lower, and there is far less waste.

Where the Quokka Pro offers good value:

• a low entry price compared with larger refillable systems
• no need to buy bottles of liquid, spare coils or tanks
• a battery that is reused rather than discarded every few days
• eight flavours to try without being tied to a single choice

Where it costs more than you might expect:

• pods are branded and sealed, so you pay for convenience. Refillable kits with bottled liquid are generally cheaper per millilitre.
• heavy use means frequent pod changes, which can add up.
• if you drop or lose the kit, replacement is a full purchase rather than a cheap spare part.

To keep costs down, buy pods in multi-packs where available, charge and store the kit sensibly to protect the battery, and avoid chain-vaping, which wears coils out faster. If you find yourself using several pods a day, it is worth comparing the cost against a refillable device with a larger battery and a tank.

In short, the Quokka Pro offers fair value for adults who want a simple reusable kit and do not need to customise anything. If you want the lowest possible cost per puff and are comfortable with a bit of hands-on tinkering, a refillable kit will be cheaper over time.

How the Quokka Pro compares with other pod kits

The pod-kit market in the UK is crowded, and there are several well-regarded alternatives. Here is a fair look at how the Quokka Pro sits alongside the kinds of kits you are likely to compare it with.

Against the Uwell Caliburn range: the Caliburn family is a long-running, compact pod system with a good reputation for reliability and a wide pod selection, including different coil resistances. If you want to experiment with coil types or use third-party pods, Uwell offers more choice. The Quokka Pro is more about branded, ready-to-go flavours with less decision-making.

Against the Vaporesso XROS range: the XROS kits are popular for their adjustable airflow on some models, larger battery on others and a well-developed pod ecosystem. They give you more control over draw feel. If you like to tweak, XROS is the stronger option. If you do not, the Quokka Pro is simpler.

Against the OXVA Xlim range: the Xlim kits are well liked for build quality and for offering adjustable power on some versions, along with a broad choice of pods. They tend to suit users who want a step up in customisation and are willing to pay a bit more for it.

Against the SMOK Novo range: a well-known family with a broad selection of coil options and a large user base, which means pods are easy to find and replace. Choice is the advantage there, while the Quokka Pro competes on simplicity and flavour direction.

Against Hayati's own disposables: if you have used a Hayati Pro Max or Crystal Pro Max in the past, you will recognise the flavour approach. The kit gives a lower puff count per unit than those large-format devices did, but you get a battery you can reuse and a format that is compliant with the current ban on single-use vapes in the UK.

What does this comparison tell you? There are three broad trade-offs:

• Simplicity versus control: the Quokka Pro leans towards simplicity. Larger platforms offer more adjustment.
• Branded flavours versus ecosystem: a sealed-pod kit like this ties you to its own pods. Larger ecosystems offer more pod and coil choice from different sources.
• Price versus features: kits with adjustable airflow, bigger batteries or screens cost more. If you do not need them, you are paying for things you will not use.

Before buying any kit, check that the pods you want are in stock and that you are happy with the price per pod, because that is where most of your money will go. If the Quokka Pro matches what you want in flavour, simplicity and price, it is a sound choice. If you know you want more control, one of the alternatives above may be a better fit.
