HayatiThe Hayati Finebar Prefilled Pod Kits Strawberry Raspberry Ice by Hayati delivers up to 1,000 puffs in Strawberry Raspberry Ice at 10mg and 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Hayati Finebar Prefilled Pod Kits Banana Ice is the version of Hayati that most people end up carrying rather than showing off. It costs £3.49, it is rated at roughly 1,000 puffs, and it comes in 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt. The Finebar name describes the shape of the thing: a slim closed pod kit rather than a chunky block, built to disappear into a pocket, a small bag or an inside jacket lining without announcing itself.
The kit format matters here because Hayati sells the Finebar two ways. This listing is the complete kit, meaning the device and a filled pod together, ready to draw on the moment it comes out of the packaging. The matching refill pods are a separate listing for people who already own the hardware. If you have never held a Finebar before, this is the listing you want. If you already have one in a drawer, you probably want the pods instead, and you can find those and everything like them in the prefilled vape pods collection.
Where the Finebar earns its keep is the combination of low price and low fuss. At £3.49 it undercuts most of the closed pod market, and because it is a sealed system there is no coil to replace, no liquid to measure and nothing to leak into a bag. It suits adults who want vaping to be a background activity rather than a hobby, and it suits people switching from smoking who want something that behaves predictably rather than something they have to learn. The full Hayati collection runs to 721 products if you want to see the range this sits inside.
Ordering a kit rather than a refill means the box does the thinking for you. What lands is the Finebar device with its Banana Ice pod already fitted and filled, in the nicotine strength you selected. There is nothing to assemble. You do not need to prime anything, you do not need to wait, and you do not need a screwdriver, a set of coils or a bottle of liquid to make it work.
The one thing worth having in the house is a USB charging cable, because every prefilled kit sold legally in the UK now is a rechargeable device. Single-use vapes were removed from sale, and the kits that replaced them are built to be topped up with power so the device outlasts a single pod. Most households already have a suitable cable in a drawer, so this is rarely a purchase, but it is worth checking before your first order rather than discovering it at the wrong moment.
Beyond that, the only sensible companion purchase is a second flavour. Vaping one profile exclusively dulls it faster than most people realise, and having an alternative on hand keeps both tasting sharper. Hayati offers the Finebar in twenty four flavours, so there is plenty to rotate between. It is also worth knowing what is not included: this is a sealed pod system, so there is no facility to add your own e-liquid, and no need to. Everything that determines how it tastes was decided before it was packed.
Take a slow draw on the Finebar in Banana Ice and it arrives in three stages. First is a light banana sweetness, closer to a banana foam sweet than to fresh fruit, with none of the heavy, almost buttery quality that some dessert banana liquids carry. It is a deliberately restrained interpretation, and in a slim device with a tighter draw that restraint reads as clean rather than thin.
The middle of the draw is where the banana fills out. The sweetness broadens, picks up a faint creaminess, and holds there for the length of a normal inhale. Then the ice steps in on the exhale, cold and dry rather than sugary, wiping the palate so the next draw starts from the same place as the last. That resetting effect is why cold fruit flavours tend to survive an entire day when warm dessert flavours do not.
What makes this a sensible pick for an everyday device is that it is quiet. Banana Ice does not demand attention between draws, it does not clash with coffee or food, and it does not leave a heavy aftertaste hanging around. Loud flavours are great for a fortnight and exhausting by the third month. If you would rather have something louder, the Finebar range covers Blue Razz Cherry, Cherry Cola, Ice Pop, Pipeline Punch, Fizzy Cherry and Caribb Crush, all built to be noticed. If you want the same banana idea in a bottle for a refillable device, Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Banana Ice is the closest match at £2.69.
Around 1,000 puffs sounds abstract until you translate it into a day. A light user taking twenty or thirty draws a day will stretch a Finebar over a working week. Someone replacing a fifteen a day smoking habit is more likely to be looking at two or three days. Heavy vapers who reach for a device constantly will get through one faster than that. None of these numbers are failures of the product, they are just what a compact pod holds under a UK rule that caps prefilled pods at 2ml.
The draw is mouth to lung, which is to say you pull the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale it, the same motion as a cigarette. It is a tighter draw than a big airflow device, and that tightness is deliberate: it concentrates the flavour and keeps vapour production modest, which is exactly what you want from something you might use indoors at home or discreetly outside a building.
Performance holds steady through most of the pod and then tails off near the end, which is the honest behaviour of any sealed system. The signal that you are approaching the end is usually flavour rather than vapour: the banana goes flat before the clouds do. Charge the device before the battery gets low rather than after, because a weak battery produces cooler, thinner vapour and people routinely mistake that for the pod being finished. If you like this format, the wider prefilled pod kits range holds every closed system kit we stock.
Both options are nicotine salt, which is what allows the stronger of the two to be pleasant rather than punishing. In older freebase liquids, 20mg would have been unusable in a device like this. Nicotine salts change the chemistry so that high concentrations go down smoothly, and 20mg per millilitre is the legal maximum permitted in the UK, so nothing sold here goes above it.
Choose 20mg if you were a regular smoker, if you are switching over recently, or if lower strengths have left you vaping constantly without feeling settled. That last symptom is the clearest sign that a strength is too low: you compensate by using the device more, which empties it faster and costs more. Choose 10mg if you smoked occasionally, if you already vape comfortably at lower strengths, or if 20mg has previously made you feel slightly dizzy or given you a headache.
Strength also has a subtle effect on how Banana Ice reads. At 20mg there is a firmer catch at the back of the throat that sharpens the menthol edge, while 10mg lets the sweeter, creamier part of the banana sit forward. Neither version tastes wrong, they simply weight the same recipe differently, and it is worth trying both if you are undecided rather than assuming stronger means better. Both strengths are represented across our nicotine salt e-liquid range too if you eventually move to bottles.
Hayati is not a single product line, it is a family of them, and the Finebar has a specific job within it. Against the larger Hayati kits, the Finebar trades capacity for size and price. A big capacity device will run for far longer between purchases and cost less per puff, but it is bulkier, more expensive to buy into and less comfortable to carry in a shirt pocket. The Finebar is the opposite bargain: small outlay, small device, more frequent restocking.
Against Hayati's bottled liquids the difference is control. Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Black Mamba and Crystal Pro Max Nic Salts by Hayati Blackcurrant Lemonade both sit at £2.69 for a bottle, and bottles are cheaper per millilitre than any sealed pod can be. What you give up is convenience: you need a refillable device, you need to fill it, and you need to look after a coil. Plenty of people run both systems, using a refillable device at home and a Finebar when they go out.
The other Hayati comparison worth making is with the Finebar's own refill pods. If you buy this kit and get on with it, buying pods on their own afterwards is the cheaper way to continue, because you are no longer paying for a device you already own. That is the natural progression for most Finebar customers, and it is the reason Hayati lists the two products separately in the first place.
Most Finebar problems come down to three things: heat, draw technique and battery level. Heat is the quiet one. Nicotine salt liquid thins as it warms, and thin liquid moves where it should not, which is why a device left in a hot car can end up spitting or seeping. Store spares at room temperature, out of sunlight, and the problem never appears.
Draw technique causes the next tier of complaints. If you hear gurgling, you are pulling too hard for a mouth to lung device. Ease off, take three or four gentle draws, and it usually settles. If the vapour tastes faintly harsh or scorched and does not recover after leaving the device alone for a few minutes, the liquid is genuinely running out rather than misbehaving.
Battery level is the one people misdiagnose most often. As charge drops, vapour cools and flavour flattens, which feels identical to an empty pod. Put it on charge before you conclude anything. A few final habits worth adopting: keep the mouthpiece clean, since anything sticky around the opening will affect taste more than you would expect; do not store the device loose in a bag with keys and coins; and if you are stocking up on more than one, leave spares sealed in their packaging until you need them so the flavour stays fresh.
At £3.49 the Finebar kit is one of the least expensive ways to get a complete, working device in your hand. It is worth understanding what that buys you: a device plus a filled pod, where the device is the part you keep. On a second purchase, the sensible comparison is not this kit against another kit but this kit against a pack of refill pods, because the second time round you are not buying hardware again.
All stock here is genuine and sourced through legitimate UK supply, which matters more in this category than most, because counterfeits of popular pod brands do circulate. Orders placed before 4pm on a working day are dispatched the same day, and UK postage is included on any order above £20. Building a mixed basket of two or three flavours is usually the most efficient way to hit that threshold, and it gives you a rotation at the same time.
All sales are strictly 18+ and subject to age verification, and we will not complete an order where age cannot be confirmed. If you decide the Finebar is not the format for you, the wider vape kits section covers everything from small closed pod devices like this one up to full refillable setups.
First time buying this sort of product? The decisions that matter are simpler than the shelf suggests.
Get those three right and the rest is detail. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.
The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.
These are small habits that pay back in flavour consistency.
If this is not quite the one, these are the closest places to look.
Or stay with the brand: all Hayati products, 434 in total. Sticking to a brand you already know is the least risky way to try something different.
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. Delivery choices, including tracked services, appear at checkout.
We cannot resell an opened consumable, so opened items are outside the returns policy. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument. Age verification applies to every order, and unverified orders are refunded rather than sent.
Nicotine is highly addictive, and nothing here is intended for non-smokers.
The rest of the line, if you want to compare before choosing.
Two on the go beats one, because alternating keeps both tasting fresher.
Every headline figure in this category is generated under ideal conditions. This listing is rated at 1,000 puffs. That figure comes from laboratory testing with a consistent draw, not from someone using it on a cold morning at a bus stop. Your own total will differ, sometimes considerably.
The bigger point is what the number describes. UK rules cap a prefilled pod or tank at 2ml, and nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml. A five-figure puff rating therefore describes what a system delivers across all the pods you will work through, not what sits inside one pod on the shelf. Any brand claiming otherwise is describing a product that could not legally be sold here.
Use the number for comparison and nothing else. Comparing two products in the same class is fair. Budgeting your month on the strength of a rating is not. For reference, £3.49 against 1,000 rated puffs works out at roughly 3.49p per thousand, which is a more useful figure than the headline.
This category was rebuilt in a very short space of time. Single-use disposable vapes were banned in the UK, and the market replaced them with rechargeable devices that take replaceable pods. The experience is deliberately similar: prefilled, no measuring, no mess. The difference is that the battery survives the flavour, so you replace a pod for a couple of pounds rather than the whole unit.
For most people the change was an improvement, financially and otherwise. A device bought once and fed with pods costs less over a month than a stream of sealed units, and produces far less waste. It also changed how you shop: the decision splits into hardware first, then consumables, rather than being one purchase repeated endlessly.
All stock here is compliant with the current UK framework. That means 2ml pods, 10ml nicotine bottles and a 20mg strength ceiling, with age verification on every order. Rechargeable kits and replacement pods are the two halves of that system if you are still assembling yours.

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.
The complete kit: the Finebar device with a Banana Ice pod already fitted and filled, in the strength you chose. Nothing needs assembling, priming or filling before you use it.
The kit includes the device and a pod together, so it is what you buy first. The pods are refills sold on their own for people who already own a Finebar device. Buying pods afterwards is the cheaper way to continue.
£3.49 for the complete kit. There is no multibuy offer attached to this particular listing, so the price is the same whether you buy one or several.
The rating is roughly 1,000 puffs. A light user can stretch that across a working week, while someone replacing a regular smoking habit is more likely to see two or three days.
20mg suits regular smokers switching over or anyone who feels unsettled on weaker liquids. 10mg suits lighter users, people already vaping comfortably at low strengths, and anyone who finds stronger nicotine gives them a headache.
No. It is a sealed closed pod system, so there is no facility to add liquid. If you want to use your own e-liquid you need a refillable device instead.
It is sweet but restrained. The banana is closer to a banana foam sweet than to a heavy dessert, and the menthol on the exhale cuts the sugar, which is what makes it workable as an all-day flavour.
You need a USB cable, which most people already have. Prefilled kits sold in the UK today are rechargeable devices rather than throwaway ones, so keeping it charged is part of normal use.
Usually a low battery rather than an empty pod. A device short on charge produces cooler, thinner vapour and duller flavour. Charge it fully before deciding the pod is finished.
Anything ordered before 4pm on a working day leaves the same day, and delivery within the UK is free on orders above £20. Purchases are limited to adults aged 18+, with age checked before dispatch.
Royal Mail Tracked 24 (Next-Day): £1.99, FREE on orders over £20.
DPD Next Working Day: £3.99 (£2.99 over £20), FREE over £100.
Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm Mon-Fri. See our delivery page for full details.
Arrived well-packaged with next-day delivery. Taste is clean and authentic. Nothing to complain about.
Flavour holds up all the way through. Some brands get weaker after a few days but this stays consistent.
The flavour matches the description perfectly. No weird aftertaste. Proper authentic taste.
My partner tried this and now we've both switched. Smooth hit, proper flavour, fair price.
Cracking flavour, honestly. Been through a few of these already. Can't fault it at the price.
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
