“Genuinely lasts a working week per refill for a moderate vaper. The pod-twist is the best we've used. Marked down on weight — 133g is a lot in a shirt pocket.”

The Hayati Pro Max Plus is a rechargeable prefilled pod kit built for people who want big-puff longevity without going back to single-use devices. An 850mAh USB-C battery drives a 1.0 Ohms Mesh, and each pod pairs a 2ml prefilled chamber with a 10ml auto-refill container — roughly 6,000 puffs per pack.
It sits in our Ban-Proof Big Puffs range: fully compliant with the UK rules that came into force in June 2025, because the pods swap rather than the whole device going in the bin. You keep the format and the flavour range; you just stop throwing the battery away.
Where it fits in the range: the Pro Max Plus is the everyday driver. If you want longer between refills, the Pro Ultra Plus doubles the capacity — see the comparison below.
This is the question we get asked most, and manufacturer puff counts are close to useless for answering it because they assume a very short draw. Our own testing averaged 4,872 puffs per pod rather than the claimed 6,000.
Translated into real use: a light vaper (around 200 puffs a day) gets roughly 24 days from one pod. A moderate vaper (around 400 a day) gets about 12 days. A heavy vaper (700+ a day) is looking at 7 days. At £7.99 a pack — or £7.67 on the 3 for £23 — that works out between £0.22 and £0.66 a day, which is where the cost saving against single-use bars really shows up.
Longer, slower draws pull more liquid per puff, so if you take long draws expect the lower end of those numbers.

We bought five units at retail and ran them to exhaustion, logging every puff with a counter. Hayati claim up to 6,000 puffs. We recorded 4,410 / 4,880 / 5,120 / 4,650 / 5,300 — an average of 4,872, or 81% of the claim. That is a normal, honest result for draw-length variation, and it is still comfortably a week of moderate use per pod.
Charging was consistent at 43 minutes from flat on a 1A plug across four cycles. The pod-twist mechanism is the best-executed we have handled — the numbered alignment between pod and refill container makes it near-impossible to seat wrong. Two of the five units showed slight seal seepage past roughly 60% depletion; storing upright avoided it entirely.
We bought these units at normal retail price. We are a retailer, not a lab — read this as our own tested opinion. Results vary with device, draw length and how you use it — treat all manufacturer claims, including ours, as approximate. Last re-tested 24 Aug 2026.

“Battery genuinely lasts me a full day and the flavour doesn't fade near the end like the cheap ones. Mix & match 3 for £23 is why I keep coming back.”
“Charges in well under an hour and the display is actually useful. Ordered before 4pm and it landed the next morning.”
“Really good kit for the money. Only note is it's a bit weightier in a shirt pocket than I expected — fine in a bag or jacket.”
“Mine seeped a little around the seal about two-thirds down the pod. Support replaced it without any fuss, but worth knowing.”
“Seal quality is much improved on the current batch. Two of five units we tested showed slight seepage past 60% depletion — worth knowing before you stock up.”

Replacement refill packs for the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 kit. Each pack contains a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml auto-refilling container that feeds it, giving roughly 6,000 puffs before you swap.
These are prefilled and non-refillable — you don't add your own e-liquid. Twist the mouthpiece, drop the new pod in, click the refill container into place and you're going again in under a minute.
Check compatibility before you buy. These fit the Pro Max Plus only — not the Pro Max, Pro Ultra, Pro Ultra Plus or Rubik. The compatibility block below lists exactly what they do and don't fit.

We ran five packs to empty across three weeks. Flavour held consistently to the last ml with no noticeable drop-off, which is not true of every refill pod we stock.
Two of the five showed slight seal seepage once past roughly 60% depletion — enough to leave a trace on the pod housing, not enough to lose liquid. Both were stored on their side. We are reporting it because you would rather know. If a pod leaks from new, contact us and we will replace it.

“Swap takes seconds once you line the numbers up. A pack lasts me about a week and 3 for £15 is a good price.”
“Flavour holds right down to the last of the refill — no burnt taste at the end, which was my problem with other pods.”
“Exactly what I needed for my Pro Max Plus. Double-check the model name before ordering — the Pro Ultra pods look almost identical and don't fit.”
“One of the three leaked slightly at the seal. The other two were perfect. Customer service sorted it quickly.”
“The most consistent bar-style salt we stock. 50:50 wicks fast in every MTL pod kit we tried it in — no dry hits down to the last ml.”

Elfliq is Elf Bar's nic-salt line, built to taste like their bar range in a refillable pod kit. A 50:50 VG/PG blend in a 10ml TPD bottle, formulated to wick fast in MTL coils between 1.2Ω and 0.6Ω.
Nic salt rather than freebase means a smoother throat hit at higher strengths — which is why 20mg is the most popular choice here, and why it suits people moving across from a big-puff device rather than from a sub-ohm setup.
Pick your strength first, then your flavour. If you're refilling a pod kit that came prefilled at 20mg, match that strength to keep the experience consistent.
We put six bottles through three different MTL pod kits over ten days. The 50:50 blend wicks fast enough that we recorded no dry hits at all, right down to the last ml — the common failure point for thicker bar-style salts.
At 20mg the throat hit is smooth rather than sharp, which is the point of nic salt. Coil life on a 1.0Ω mesh came in around two weeks of daily use before flavour started to dull.

“Wicks properly in my pod kit with no dry hits at all. 5 for £10 is why I stock up.”
“Stepped down from 20mg and this is a much smoother throat hit without losing the flavour. Coil is still going after a fortnight.”
“Perfect in an MTL kit. I tried it in a sub-ohm tank first, which was a mistake — far too thin. Stick to what it says.”
“Good liquid, but a touch sweeter than I expected and it gunked my coil a bit faster than the menthols do.”
“Comfortable slim format that sits flat under the lip. The 10mg is a big step up from the 6mg — start lower than you think if you're new to pouches.”
Read the full test ↓New to pouches? Start at 4mg or 6mg. 10mg+ is a noticeable step up — stronger than most people expect.
VELO nicotine pouches are tobacco-free white pouches that sit under your top lip — no vapour, no smoke, no smell. Each can holds 20 slim pouches in strengths from 4mg to 17mg.
The slim format is the one to start with: it sits flatter and is far less noticeable than the original size. A pouch lasts up to 30 to 40 minutes before you bin it.
If you're new to pouches, start lower than you think. The 4mg and 6mg are the sensible entry points; 10mg and above is a noticeable step up and can feel harsh if you haven't built tolerance.
We tested four strengths across a week. The slim format sits genuinely flat under the lip and stayed comfortable for the full 30 to 40 minutes before drying out. Flavour is strongest in the first 20 minutes and fades noticeably after that.
The step from 6mg to 10mg is larger than the numbers suggest. If you are new to pouches, start at 4mg or 6mg — we would rather you enjoyed it than wrote it off.

“Sits flat under the lip and I forget it's there. Lasts a solid 40 minutes before it starts fading.”
“Started at 4mg on the advice here and it was the right call. Nice steady tingle rather than a hit.”
“Really good for work when I can't step outside. Only gripe is the used-pouch lid fills up quicker than you'd think.”
“Jumped straight to 10mg and regretted it — far too strong for a beginner. My fault, but heed the warning on the page.”
