Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 review: the twin-flavour kit that replaced the bar
When the single-use vape ban landed on 1 June 2025, the assumption in most of the trade was that the big puff-count brands would quietly die with it. A 15,000-puff bar is a battery, a tank and a bin. Take away the bin and what is left?
More than anyone expected, as it turns out. The device that took over from the old Hayati Pro Ultra is a rechargeable, refillable pod kit that keeps the two things people actually liked about the bar (two flavours in one body, a very long run between purchases) and drops the part that was about to become illegal. I have been selling and using it since, so here is a review written from the counter rather than from a press release.
What the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 actually is
Strip the marketing off and you get a 107mm slab with an 850mAh battery, a small screen, a USB-C port and a removable pod assembly on top. That pod is one 2ml unit divided into two sealed chambers, each with its own mesh coil. Behind it sit two 10ml containers that feed the chambers as you vape.
Two millilitres plus two lots of ten. Twenty-two in total, which is the number printed on the box in Hayati’s own words, and not the 24ml that half the UK web repeats. If a listing tells you 24ml, or “dual 12ml tanks”, the person writing it has copied another retailer rather than read the packaging. Worth knowing before you compare prices, because capacity is the whole basis of value here.

| Draw | Mouth to lung, draw activated, fixed airflow |
The other thing to get straight is the name. The original Pro Ultra 15000 was a disposable and is illegal to sell here now. This is not that device, and it is not a “Pro Max 25000” either, however often that phrase turns up on marketplaces. The 6,000-puff Pro Max Plus is a different, smaller kit with pods that do not interchange. If you want the full family laid out side by side, the Hayati Pro Max range is the quickest way to see which is which.
The twist system, which is the entire point
Lift the mouthpiece, turn it 180 degrees, push it back down over the other chamber. That is the flavour switch, and the draw sensor only fires the coil sitting under the airway, so nothing blends. Go from Fresh Mint to Sour Apple mid afternoon and the apple arrives clean, because its coil has been sealed and cold since the last time you used it.
Two mistakes people make with it. The first is turning without lifting, which will not work and will eventually chew up the seat. The second is stopping halfway, which parks the airway between the chambers and gives you a tight, flavourless draw that feels like a faulty device. Finish the turn. The L or R on the screen tells you where you landed.
There is a side effect nobody mentions in the marketing. Because you choose which coil does the work, you also choose which side empties first. Favour one flavour heavily and its eleven millilitres will be gone weeks before the other, at which point you are carrying half a device. Alternating by the day keeps both sides finishing at roughly the same time, which is when replacing the pack makes economic sense.
Running costs, which is where the maths gets interesting
A kit is a device plus one full 22ml pack. After that you keep the body and buy a refill pack, which at the time of writing is about £5.80 when bought in fives. That works out at roughly 26p per millilitre, or 23p per thousand rated puffs.
For comparison, the 6,000-puff Pro Max Plus refills come in near 40p per millilitre and 80p per thousand puffs. The bigger kit is, per puff, comfortably the cheaper habit, which is an unusual sentence to write about the more expensive product on the shelf. The device itself only costs about £3 more than a refill pack does on its own, so the “body” you are paying for is close to a rounding error.
That is also the argument for treating the kit as a platform rather than a purchase. Buy one, then buy Hayati Pro Ultra Plus pods for it, and the recurring cost drops to the liquid alone. Buy a fresh kit every time and you are paying for an 850mAh battery you already own, repeatedly, which is how a lot of people quietly spend more after the ban than they did before it.
Flavours, and the honest bit about puff counts
There are 43 pairings and single-flavour packs, which is more choice than anyone needs and exactly enough to guarantee an argument in a group chat. Blue Razz Lemonade sells about three times anything else. The ice variants hold up better across a long pack than the dessert profiles, which tend to flatten by the second container. We keep a running ranking of the best Hayati Pro Max flavours across all three product lines, including the ones we would talk a first-time buyer out of.
As for 25,000 puffs: that is a machine-measured rating taken under lab conditions with a consistent short draw. Real use gives you fewer, and the gap widens the longer and harder you pull. Nobody in the industry pretends otherwise in private, and I would rather say it in public. Judge these devices on millilitres, which are fixed and printed on the box, not on a puff number that depends on how you breathe.
One customer put the appeal better than any spec list. “The dual-flavour setup is a really handy idea. Being able to switch between two flavours without carrying another device makes the whole thing feel much more convenient.” That was Jordan M., in a review collected before our website opened.
Who should not buy one
If you vape rarely, 22ml is more liquid than you will get through before you fancy a change, and a smaller kit will suit you better. If you want a sub-ohm cloud device, this is not it: the draw is deliberately tight and mouth to lung. If you want anything under 20mg, Hayati does not make this device at a lower strength, so a refillable kit with your own liquid is the sensible route.
And if the appeal of two flavours leaves you cold, you are paying for an engineering trick you will never use. The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 pod kit earns its price through that twin-chamber design. Take it away and there are simpler kits for less.
Verdict
The post-ban market produced a lot of half-hearted conversions, devices that were disposables with a charging port glued on. This is not one of them. It is a properly thought-out pod kit whose only real weakness is the puff number on the front of the box, which is the one part of it I would ignore entirely.
