Hayati Pro Max 50-50 E-Liquid

What this range is, precisely

Twenty flavours. Every listing is a 120ml bottle, every one is supplied at 0mg with no nicotine in it, every one is blended at a 50:50 ratio of vegetable glycerine to propylene glycol, and every one is £6.99. There are no strength options to choose between and no size variants, because a shortfill is defined by the absence of both.

The same twenty flavours are also stocked in a thicker 70:30 base as the Hayati Pro Max 70/30 range, and sixteen of them exist as 10ml nicotine salts in Pro Max Nic Salts. That overlap is genuinely useful: it means you can taste a flavour cheaply in a 10ml bottle before committing to 120ml of it, and you can move a flavour you like between ratios as your hardware changes.

The specification at a glance

• Bottle: 120ml, which is far too large to contain nicotine under UK law.
• Nicotine as supplied: 0mg, so it is usable exactly as it comes or with nicotine shots added.
• VG:PG: 50:50, thin enough to wick through pod coils and mouth-to-lung tanks.
• Price: £6.99 a bottle, which is well under 10p per millilitre before shots.
• Flavours: 20, all shared with the 70/30 range.

What a shortfill actually is

The rule that created them

UK law caps any bottle of nicotine-containing e-liquid at 10ml and caps the nicotine itself at 20mg per millilitre. Those limits come from the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, which implement the Tobacco Products Directive into UK law. They make buying nicotine liquid in volume impossible by design.

The shortfill is the industry's response, and it is entirely legitimate. A large bottle is filled with flavoured base containing no nicotine at all, which puts it outside the 10ml rule because the rule applies to nicotine-containing liquid. Space is left in the neck. You buy compliant 10ml nicotine shots separately and combine them yourself at home. The finished liquid sits at a low nicotine strength, and nobody has broken any rules.

The name is about capacity, not contents

This is the part that trips people up. A shortfill is named for the size of the bottle, not for the volume of liquid inside it. It is called a shortfill because it is deliberately filled short of capacity. Before you calculate anything, read the label on the bottle in front of you: it states how much 0mg base has been supplied and how much headroom is left. Work from that figure, not from a number you half-remember from a forum.

Using one without adding anything

There is no obligation to add nicotine at all. Used as supplied, a shortfill is flavoured vapour with no nicotine in the bottle. Plenty of people buy them for exactly that reason, and it is the cheapest per millilitre way to run flavour through a device. These remain age-restricted products and we sell them to over-18s only.

Why a 50/50 shortfill is unusual, and who it is for

Walk down most shortfill shelves and you will find 70:30 or higher. The format grew up alongside sub-ohm tanks, which want thick liquid, so the default blend followed the hardware. A 50:50 shortfill inverts that assumption.

The gap it fills

Pod users have historically been stuck buying 10ml bottles. If you use a refillable pod kit and get through 4ml a day, that is a 10ml bottle every two and a half days, and the cost per millilitre never improves no matter how many you buy. A 120ml bottle at the same ratio solves that problem in one purchase.

Who should be looking at this range

• Refillable pod users who have settled on a flavour and want to stop buying it 10ml at a time.
• MTL tank users running coils of 0.8 ohms or above at low wattage.
• People who mix their own strength and want control over the finished nicotine level rather than accepting a fixed 10mg or 20mg.
• Zero-nicotine users who want flavour and the ritual without nicotine in the bottle.
• Anyone blending ratios - equal parts of this and the matching 70/30 bottle gives a 60:40 base in the same flavour.

Who should not

If your device runs a coil below 0.6 ohms at 30 watts or more, this is the wrong bottle. Thin liquid can seep through the large wicking ports of a sub-ohm coil, and the flavour will be sharper than the hardware was designed around. Take the 70/30 version of the same flavour instead.

Nicotine shots: arithmetic, choice and mixing

The formula

Dilution, nothing more. Multiply the strength of the shot by the volume of shot you are adding. Divide by the total volume once everything is combined. That gives you the finished strength in milligrams per millilitre.

Two 10ml shots at 18mg is 20ml carrying 360mg of nicotine. Added to 100ml of 0mg base that makes 120ml carrying 360mg, which is 3mg per millilitre. Swap to 20mg shots and the same mix gives 400mg across 120ml, or 3.3mg per millilitre.

Worked examples

Base	Shots	Shot strength	Finished volume	Finished strength
100ml	2 x 10ml	18mg	120ml	3.0mg/ml
100ml	2 x 10ml	20mg	120ml	3.3mg/ml
60ml decanted	2 x 10ml	20mg	80ml	5.0mg/ml
50ml decanted	2 x 10ml	20mg	70ml	5.7mg/ml
40ml decanted	3 x 10ml	20mg	70ml	8.6mg/ml
30ml decanted	3 x 10ml	20mg	60ml	10.0mg/ml

The last three rows are the trick most people miss. You are not limited to whatever fits in the neck of the bottle. Decant part of the base into a clean empty bottle, then add more shots to the smaller volume that remains. The total liquid ends up spread across two containers, but the strength is whatever you decided it should be. That is how a pod user reaches 10mg from a 0mg shortfill.

Checking your maths

Reverse the calculation as a sanity check. If you believe you have made 120ml at 3.3mg, multiply back: 120 times 3.3 is 396mg, which is close enough to the 400mg you added to confirm the working. If the numbers are wildly apart, you have mismeasured something.

Choosing nicotine shots

Freebase shots

The conventional option, usually 18mg at 50:50 or 70:30. Freebase nicotine is alkaline and produces more throat sensation per milligram, but at a finished 3mg that sensation is mild. Freebase suits lower finished strengths and more open hardware.

Salt shots

Nicotine salt shots, usually 20mg at 50:50, are the better pairing for this particular base. If you are mixing a 50/50 shortfill it is because you intend to use it in a pod, and a pod is exactly where salt chemistry earns its place. A salt shot keeps the finished liquid smooth at strengths that would feel harsh in freebase form, which matters if you are decanting to reach 5mg or 10mg rather than 3mg.

What shots do to the ratio

Most shots are blended at 50:50. Adding two of them to a 50:50 base changes the ratio not at all, which is a quiet advantage of this range over high-VG shortfills. Add two 50:50 shots to a 70:30 base and the finished liquid drifts a few points thinner; add them here and what you mixed is exactly what you get. If you are using a 70:30 shot, the drift goes the other way and the finished base will be slightly thicker than 50:50.

Shot count and headroom

• Freebase at 50:50, usually 18mg: best for finished strengths of 3 to 6mg, suiting mouth-to-lung tanks and restricted-lung pods.
• Freebase at 70:30, usually 18mg: aimed at sub-ohm mixes and a poor match for this base, since it thickens the finished liquid.
• Nicotine salt at 50:50, usually 20mg: the natural partner here, comfortable at finished strengths between 5 and 12mg in a refillable pod kit.

Mixing, step by step

• Work over a sink or a tray. The first pour into a full neck is the one that goes wrong.
• Remove the bottle's nozzle insert if it has one. Pouring a shot through a fine-bore tip takes forever.
• Add the shots one at a time and cap the bottle immediately after each.
• Shake properly. Sixty seconds of real agitation, not three inversions. Nicotine and base need mixing, and an unevenly mixed bottle delivers an inconsistent strength as you work down it.
• Stand the bottle for an hour before filling a pod. Shaking introduces air, and air in a coil causes dry hits.
• Write the finished strength and the date on the bottle. You will not remember in six weeks, and guessing at nicotine strength is a bad habit.

Steeping after shotting

The base itself needs no steeping; it arrives at its intended flavour. What does benefit from a few days is a bottle you have just shotted. Nicotine changes the balance slightly and some people notice a sharpness on day one that settles by day three or four. Leave it capped in a dark cupboard, shake it once a day, and it will be where you want it inside a week. If you are impatient, use it immediately - nothing is wrong with it.

Which devices this base belongs in

Refillable pod kits

The primary target. Within the Hayati catalogue that means the Quokka range: the Quokka Lite at £8.99, the Quokka Elite at £14.99 and the Quokka Pro at £20.99, each with a 1100mAh battery and a 2ml pod, plus spare Quokka Pods at £6.99. They are listed together under Hayati Refillable Pod Kits. A 2ml pod is the UK legal maximum, so 120ml of base is sixty fills.

MTL tanks

Any mouth-to-lung tank with a coil rated 0.8 ohms or higher, run at low wattage with the airflow tightened. This is where 50:50 has always lived, and it is where a shortfill at this ratio makes the most sense.

Coil and power pairing

• 1.2 ohm and above at 8 to 12 watts, tight draw: ideal, and the most cigarette-like of the options.
• 1.0 ohm at 10 to 14 watts, mouth-to-lung: ideal, and the pairing this base was blended around.
• 0.8 ohm at 12 to 18 watts: good, with a warmer draw and slightly faster liquid consumption.
• 0.6 ohm at 18 to 25 watts, restricted lung: workable, though a thin liquid may begin to seep through the ports.
• Below 0.6 ohm at 25 watts and up: use the 70/30 version of the flavour instead.

Making a 60:40 base

Because the same twenty flavours exist in both ratios, you can blend your own middle ground. Pour equal volumes of the 50/50 and the 70/30 bottle of one flavour and you have a 60:40 base with an identical taste profile, which is exactly what a restricted direct-lung coil around 0.6 to 0.8 ohms wants. No other adjustment is needed, and because both bottles are 0mg the nicotine maths is unaffected.

All twenty flavours

Each of these is stocked as a 120ml, 0mg, 50:50 bottle at £6.99. Where a flavour also exists as a 10ml salt, that is worth knowing: it lets you sample before buying volume.

Flavour	Family	Character	Also a 10ml salt?
Mr Blue	Blue fruit	The house signature mixed blue-fruit profile	Yes
Blue Razz Cherry	Berry	Blue raspberry layered with dark cherry	Yes
Blue Razz Gummy Bear	Sweets	Confectionery take on blue raspberry	Yes
Blue Sour Raspberry	Berry	Sharp and sour-forward	Yes
Blueberry Raspberry	Berry	The two-berry staple	Yes
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry	Berry	Darker and slightly tart	Yes
Strawberry Raspberry Ice	Berry ice	Berry mix with a cooling finish	Yes
Fizzy Cherry	Red fruit	Cherry with a carbonated lift	Yes
Watermelon Ice	Fruit ice	Clean watermelon, cooled	Yes
Watermelon Lemon Burst	Fruit citrus	Watermelon sharpened with lemon	No

Where the families sit in the wider catalogue

The cold end of this list - Watermelon Ice, Pineapple Ice, Red Apple Ice, Banana Ice, Vimbull Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Ice - is covered across Ice Vapes. The berry block sits in Berry Vapes and Raspberry Vapes. Triple Mango and Summer Dream belong with Mango Vapes and Exotic Vapes, Juicy Peach with Juicy Peach Vapes, Lemon Lime with Lemon Lime Vapes, Rainbow and Blue Razz Gummy Bear with Sweet Vapes, and Fresh Mint with Fresh Mint Vapes.

Four to start with

If you want a spread rather than four versions of the same idea: Mr Blue for the house profile, Watermelon Ice for cooling, Triple Mango for tropical and Fresh Mint for something plain to reset the palate. That is 480ml of liquid for £27.96 and four genuinely different directions.

If you would rather commit to two, take one cold profile and one sweet: they are the two poles most people move between across a day, and having both open means neither becomes tiring. Add a third later once you know which pole you spend more time at. Buying four bottles of the same flavour before you have lived with it for a fortnight is the one mistake worth avoiding here.

How this range compares

Shortfill versus 10ml salt

• Price: £6.99 for a 120ml shortfill against £2.49 for a 10ml salt.
• Cost per millilitre of base: under 7p against about 25p.
• Nicotine included: none in the shortfill, and 10mg already present in the salt.
• Extra purchase needed: nicotine shots if you want nicotine, against nothing at all.
• Strength control: whatever you choose to mix, against a fixed 10mg.
• Flavour choice: 20 here against 49 in the salts range.
• Effort: measuring, mixing and shaking, against opening a bottle.
• Commitment: 120ml of one flavour, against 10ml you can walk away from.

The sensible pattern is to use both. Buy 10ml salts to find flavours you like and to keep a varied rotation, and buy shortfills of the two or three you have proved you will finish. Buying 120ml of an untested flavour is how people end up with a cupboard of bottles they resent.

50/50 against 70/30, same twenty flavours

	50/50 shortfill	70/30 shortfill
Texture	Thin, wicks quickly	Noticeably thicker
Throat sensation	More pronounced	Softer
Vapour	Modest	High
Flavour character	Sharper, more defined top notes	Rounder, slightly sweeter
Coil range	0.8 ohm and above	Below 0.6 ohm
Risk if mismatched	Seeps through big wicking ports	Dry hits in small coils
Price	£6.99	£6.99

Neither is better. They are tools for different hardware, and the identical flavour lists mean you never have to give up a taste you like when you change devices.

Decanting, and why you should

A 120ml bottle is not a convenient object. It will not fit in a pocket, it is awkward to fill a 2ml pod from, and every time you open it you expose the whole volume to air. Decanting solves all three problems.

• Buy a few empty 10ml or 30ml bottles with fine-bore nozzles. They cost very little and last indefinitely.
• Fill one, cap the big bottle, and keep the bulk sealed and dark. Nicotine oxidises on contact with air; a 120ml bottle opened twice a day for three months will have lost flavour by the end.
• Label every decant with the flavour, the finished strength and the date. An unlabelled bottle of unknown nicotine strength is useless.
• A 10ml decant is also the only part of the bottle you can legally take through airport security in hand luggage, where the limit is 100ml per container.

Decanting is also the mechanism for mixing to higher strengths, as set out in the arithmetic section above. The two uses combine neatly: decant 50ml, shot it to 10mg for pod use, and leave the remaining 70ml sealed at 0mg until you need it.

Coil life, sweeteners and getting a full bottle's worth

Priming

A new coil is dry cotton and must be wetted before it is fired. Drip liquid directly onto the visible wicking ports until the cotton darkens, fit the coil, fill, then leave it standing for five minutes. A 50:50 liquid soaks in faster than a thick one, but five minutes still costs you nothing and saves a coil.

Power

Coils carry a printed wattage range. Start at the bottom of it and climb one watt at a time until the flavour is where you want it. Running above the range outpaces the wick and scorches the cotton; running below it gives flat, cool vapour that most people mistake for a bad liquid.

Sweetened profiles

Confectionery and soft-drink profiles caramelise on a coil faster than a mint or a plain citrus does. Rainbow, Blue Razz Gummy Bear and Vimbull Ice will darken a coil sooner than Fresh Mint or Lemon Lime. This is a flavour and longevity matter, nothing more. If you run sweet profiles all day, budget for more frequent coil changes rather than assuming something is faulty.

When to change a coil

• Flavour flattens or turns faintly scorched at normal power.
• Vapour thins with no change to your settings.
• A dry hit happens even when the pod is full and rested.
• Dark residue is visible on the cotton through the ports.

What a balanced base actually does to flavour

Ratio is usually discussed as a hardware question, and it is, but it also changes what you taste. Understanding why helps you predict how a flavour you know from a 10ml salt will behave in 120ml of the same base.

PG as a carrier

Propylene glycol is a more efficient solvent for most flavour concentrates than vegetable glycerine. At 50 per cent PG, more of the flavouring is dissolved and presented cleanly, which is why 50:50 liquids taste sharper and more defined than high-VG versions of the same profile. Top notes - the citrus lift in Lemon Lime, the sourness in Blue Sour Raspberry, the carbonation edge in Fizzy Cherry - come through more distinctly.

VG as a rounder

Vegetable glycerine is mildly sweet in its own right and thicker on the tongue. At 50 per cent it contributes body without smothering anything. Move to 70 per cent and the same concentrate reads as softer and slightly sweeter, with the sharp edges rounded off. Neither version is wrong; they are different presentations of one flavour.

Why the same flavour can seem to change

Three variables move together when you switch format, and people often attribute all of the difference to one of them. The ratio changes what is emphasised. The nicotine strength changes the throat sensation and, indirectly, perceived intensity. And the hardware changes the temperature and volume of vapour. Move from a 10mg salt in a 1.0 ohm pod to a 3mg shotted 50/50 in the same pod and you will notice a difference, but almost all of it is nicotine rather than base.

Cooling agents and ratio

The cooling in Watermelon Ice, Pineapple Ice, Red Apple Ice, Banana Ice, Vimbull Ice and Strawberry Raspberry Ice is more pronounced in a 50:50 base than in a 70:30, because the same carrier efficiency that sharpens fruit notes also sharpens menthol and cooling compounds. If you found the 70/30 version pleasantly cool, expect the 50/50 to be noticeably colder.

The small kit that makes mixing painless

None of this is required, but each item removes a specific annoyance, and together they cost less than two bottles.

• Empty bottles. A few 10ml and 30ml bottles with fine-bore nozzles. These are for decanting and for mixing sub-batches at different strengths. Fine-bore tips fill pod ports without flooding them.
• A blunt-tip syringe or a measuring cylinder. Essential if you intend to decant and mix to a target strength rather than simply emptying whole shots into a bottle. Guessing volumes by eye is how you end up with a bottle whose strength you cannot state.
• Labels or a permanent marker. Flavour, finished strength, date. Every single bottle.
• A tray or a tea towel. Mixing over a bare worktop is how liquid ends up in places you did not want it.
• Nitrile gloves. Worth using when handling nicotine shots at 18 or 20mg, simply to avoid skin contact with concentrated nicotine.

Wash and dry anything reusable between flavours, or dedicate a syringe per flavour family. Residual Vimbull Ice in a syringe will make itself known in the next bottle of Fresh Mint you mix.

Batch mixing, cost and storage

Once you have settled on a flavour and a strength, mixing in planned batches is more efficient than shotting a bottle every time you run out.

Work out your consumption first

Fill a pod, note the date, and see how long a 10ml decant lasts. That gives you a daily figure. Multiply by thirty and you know what a month looks like. Most mouth-to-lung pod users land somewhere between 2 and 5ml a day, which is 60 to 150ml a month - one shortfill, give or take.

Mix in two strengths

A useful pattern: decant a third of the bottle and shot it to a higher strength for mornings and for times when you want the nicotine to register quickly, and leave the remainder lower or at 0mg for everything else. The flavour stays constant, which is the point of buying volume, while the strength follows the day.

Keep the bulk sealed

Do not shot the whole 120ml at once unless you are certain you will get through it in a couple of months. A 0mg base is more stable than a nicotine-containing one because there is no nicotine to oxidise. Shot what you will use, keep the rest sealed and dark, and the last fill out of the bottle will taste like the first.

Rotate flavours across batches

Palate fatigue is real and entirely avoidable. Keeping two contrasting bottles in rotation - say Mr Blue and Fresh Mint, or Triple Mango and Vimbull Ice - stops either from going stale on you. It also means a bottle you have temporarily tired of is not wasted; it is just waiting.

The cost over a year

Large-format buying only pays off if you actually finish the bottles, so it is worth doing the sums against your real consumption rather than against a best case.

• 2ml a day, about 730ml a year: roughly 73 ten-millilitre salts at about £182, against about six shortfills at roughly £42 plus shots.
• 3ml a day, about 1,095ml a year: roughly 110 salts at about £274, against about nine shortfills at roughly £63 plus shots.
• 5ml a day, about 1,825ml a year: roughly 183 salts at about £455, against about fifteen shortfills at roughly £105 plus shots.

The nicotine shots are the variable those figures exclude, and they are not trivial: reaching a pod-appropriate strength takes several shots per bottle. Even so, the gap is wide enough that anyone using more than about 2ml a day on a single settled flavour is better off in the shortfill column. Anyone who changes flavour constantly, or uses less than that, is better served by 10ml salts and the far wider flavour choice they offer.

Storage and shelf life

• Upright, capped, cool and dark. A kitchen cupboard away from the hob is ideal; a car or a windowsill is not.
• Heat and daylight both degrade flavour compounds. Sunlight accelerates nicotine oxidation in a shotted bottle.
• Check the best-before date on the bottle. Sealed, a 0mg base keeps well; opened and shotted, use it within a few months.
• Store every nicotine product, including shots, out of reach of children and pets. Child-resistant closures are a delay, not a barrier.
• Never decant into a drinks bottle or an unlabelled container.

One advantage of buying 0mg: unshotted base is more stable than nicotine-containing liquid, because there is no nicotine to oxidise. Keeping the bulk of a 120ml bottle at 0mg and shotting only what you will use in the next few weeks is the best of both.

Troubleshooting

It leaks or seeps

Thin liquid in a coil with large wicking ports. Check the coil is fully seated, leave an air gap when filling, and if the problem persists on a 0.6 ohm coil, that coil is at the edge of what a 50:50 suits. Blending with the 70/30 version of the same flavour thickens the liquid and usually resolves it.

It tastes burnt

Dry or exhausted wick. Reduce power, slow the draws, check the level, and replace an old coil. Prime properly on the next one.

The strength feels wrong

Recheck your arithmetic first, then your device. Two 18mg shots in 100ml of base is 3mg, which is a low strength and will feel very light in a pod. If you want pod-appropriate nicotine, decant and use salt shots to reach 5 to 10mg.

It tastes different to the 10ml salt version

Expected. Nicotine contributes to perceived flavour and throat sensation, and a 3mg freebase mix will read differently to a 10mg salt even with an identical flavour concentrate. The 70/30 version of the same flavour will also taste slightly rounder. None of these are faults.

Labels, zero nicotine and second thoughts

Using a shortfill at 0mg, deliberately

Every bottle in this range is a finished, usable product before any shot goes near it. That is easy to forget when the whole format is described in terms of what you add to it.

Run as supplied, a 50/50 shortfill gives you the full Pro Max flavour through a pod or an MTL tank with no nicotine in the bottle at all. The throat sensation is softer, because nicotine is a significant part of what produces it, and the flavour is if anything slightly cleaner. Some people run 0mg exclusively; others keep a 0mg bottle alongside a shotted one and switch between them through the day. Both are perfectly ordinary ways to use the range.

Practically, 0mg is also the cheapest liquid in the catalogue by a distance: under 7p per millilitre with no shots to buy. And because there is no nicotine to oxidise, an unshotted bottle keeps its flavour longer than a mixed one. Zero-nicotine vaping products are still age-restricted and we sell them to over-18s only.

Reading a shortfill label

Four things on the bottle are worth checking before you mix anything.

• The volume of liquid supplied. This is the number your arithmetic depends on, and it is not the same as the bottle's capacity. Read it every time; do not assume.
• The nicotine statement. A shortfill should state 0mg clearly. If a large bottle claims to contain nicotine, something is wrong with it.
• The ratio. Fifty-fifty across this range. It is the fastest way to confirm you have picked up the right bottle when you also stock the 70/30 version of the same flavour.
• Batch code and best-before date. Worth noting when you decant, so the decant can be traced back.

Bottles in this range come with a wide neck rather than a fine nozzle, because they are designed to receive shots rather than to fill a 2ml pod directly. That is another argument for decanting into a small bottle with a narrow tip.

If you go off a flavour halfway through

It happens, and 120ml is a long way to be committed. There are better options than tipping it away.

• Blend it down. Mixing a flavour you have tired of with a contrasting one from the range often produces something usable. A sweet profile that has become cloying is frequently rescued by adding Fresh Mint or Lemon Lime.
• Add the 70/30 version. Same flavour, thicker base, and the shift in presentation is sometimes enough to make it interesting again.
• Put it away for a month. Palate fatigue fades. A bottle that tasted of nothing in March is frequently fine in May.
• Change the hardware. The same liquid on a fresh coil at a different wattage can read as a different flavour entirely.

The underlying lesson is to sample before committing. Sixteen of the twenty flavours here also exist as 10ml nic salts at £2.49, and spending that to test a profile is cheaper than being stuck with 120ml of it.

UK compliance

• These products are for adults aged 18 and over, including the 0mg bottles. We age-verify every order.
• Nicotine-containing e-liquid is capped at 20mg per millilitre in the UK.
• A nicotine-containing bottle may not exceed 10ml, which is why shortfills are supplied at 0mg.
• A tank or pod may not exceed 2ml in capacity.
• Nicotine-containing products, including nicotine shots, must be notified to the MHRA before sale in the UK.
• Compliant bottles carry child-resistant and tamper-evident closures and full ingredient information.
• It is an offence to buy these products on behalf of someone under 18.

Mixing a shortfill with a nicotine shot for your own use is legal and routine. We make no health claims about any product we sell, and nothing here is medical advice.

Ordering, delivery and where to go next

Delivery

UK delivery is free on orders over £20, with a standard charge below that. We ship on tracked 24 and tracked 48 services and email tracking when the parcel leaves us. Orders placed before the daily cut-off leave the same working day. Three shortfills clears the free delivery threshold, which is worth knowing given the weight of a 120ml bottle.

Age verification

Every order containing a nicotine product is age-checked before dispatch, and most checks resolve automatically in seconds. Where a match cannot be made we will ask for a document. There is no opt-out.

Who we are

Hayati Flavours is an independent UK specialist retailer of Hayati products. We are not the brand's own shop and we do not speak for the manufacturer. We carry the catalogue, hold it in stock and describe it accurately. Browse the full store, the Hayati E-Liquids hub, or the newest listings.

Disposal and recycling

Rinse empty bottles and recycle them with household plastics, with caps detached and included. Leftover nicotine-containing liquid should go to your council's household waste recycling centre as chemical waste, never down a drain or into a household bin.

Devices are separate. Anything containing a lithium cell is electrical waste under the WEEE regulations and must never go in a household bin, where damaged cells start fires in collection vehicles. Used devices and pods from Hayati Pods and Hayati Pod Kits should go to a vape recycling point or a centre accepting small electricals.

What else to look at

If you want the same twenty flavours in a base built for sub-ohm hardware, that is the 70/30 range. If you want nicotine already in the bottle and no mixing at all, the 10ml Pro Max Nic Salts cover 49 flavours at 10mg. If you would rather not refill anything, prefilled pod kits and prefilled pods are the no-maintenance route, and the Pro Max Plus kit at £7.99 is the obvious starting point. And if you want nicotine without a device at all, Hayati Nicotine Pouches are a tobacco-free oral format at £4.49.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this e-liquid sold at 0mg?

UK law caps any bottle of nicotine-containing e-liquid at 10ml. A 120ml bottle therefore cannot be sold with nicotine in it. Supplying it at 0mg with headroom in the neck lets you add compliant 10ml nicotine shots yourself, which is how large-format liquid is sold legally in the UK. Used without shots it simply contains no nicotine.

How much nicotine will I get after adding shots?

Multiply shot strength by shot volume and divide by the finished total. Two 10ml shots at 18mg added to 100ml of base gives 360mg across 120ml, or 3mg per millilitre. Using 20mg shots gives 3.3mg. Always read your own bottle for the volume of base actually supplied before calculating.

Can I make it stronger than 3mg?

Yes, by decanting. Pour some of the base into a clean empty bottle and add shots to the smaller volume that remains. Sixty millilitres of base plus two 20mg shots gives 80ml at 5mg; thirty millilitres plus three shots gives 60ml at 10mg. The total liquid is then spread across two bottles at different strengths.

Should I use freebase or salt nicotine shots?

Salt shots suit this base better. A 50:50 shortfill is intended for pod kits, and salt chemistry is what makes higher finished strengths comfortable in a pod. Freebase shots at 18mg are the conventional choice if you are only going to 3mg. Both are legal, compliant 10ml products and both mix the same way.

What is the difference between the 50/50 and 70/30 shortfills?

Only the base ratio; the twenty flavours are identical. The 50/50 is thinner, wicks through small pod coils and gives a sharper throat sensation. The 70/30 is thicker, produces more vapour and suits sub-ohm coils below 0.6 ohms. Both are 120ml, 0mg and £6.99, and mixing them in equal parts gives a 60:40 base.

Can I use this in a sub-ohm tank?

It is not the intended pairing. Thin liquid can seep through the large wicking ports of a sub-ohm coil and the flavour arrives sharper than the hardware was designed around. Use the 70/30 version of the same flavour instead, or blend the two bottles half and half to reach roughly 60:40.

Do shortfills need steeping?

The base does not; it arrives at its intended flavour. A bottle you have just shotted can benefit from three to five days in a dark cupboard with a daily shake, because some people notice a slight sharpness on the first day that settles out. If you would rather not wait, using it immediately does no harm.

How long will a 120ml bottle last?

Against a 2ml pod that is sixty fills. In real terms, a moderate pod user getting through 3ml a day would take about six weeks. That is also the argument for decanting: keep the bulk sealed and work from a 10ml or 30ml bottle so the main volume is not exposed to air every day.

Which flavours should I buy first?

Spread across families rather than within one. Mr Blue is the house signature, Watermelon Ice covers cooling, Triple Mango covers tropical and Fresh Mint gives you something plain to reset the palate. Sixteen of the twenty also exist as 10ml nic salts, so you can taste a flavour cheaply before committing to 120ml of it.

Is it legal to mix a nicotine shot into a shortfill myself?

Yes. Buying a 0mg base and a compliant 10ml nicotine shot separately and combining them for your own use is exactly what the format is designed for. Both components are legal products; the shot must be a notified, compliant 10ml bottle at no more than 20mg per millilitre, which is what we sell.

Do I still need to be 18 to buy a 0mg bottle?

Yes. We treat every vaping product as age-restricted regardless of nicotine content, and every order is age-verified before it leaves us. Most checks clear automatically against public records within seconds; where a match cannot be made we will ask you for identification before we ship. Buying age-restricted products for someone under 18 is an offence.

How do I dispose of an empty 120ml bottle?

Rinse it and put it out with household plastics, cap detached and included. If any nicotine-containing liquid is left, take it to your council's household waste recycling centre rather than pouring it away. Devices and pods are separate: anything with a lithium cell is electrical waste and belongs at a recycling point.
