Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 50/50

The Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 50/50 is a shortfill e-liquid built for vapers who want to mix their own strength rather than settle for whatever's in a pre-filled pod. It ships as a 100ml bottle with a 50/50 VG/PG blend, which means it's just as happy in a simple pod kit or MTL starter tank as it is in something with a bit more airflow. If you're comparing options in our e-liquids section, this is the one to reach for when you want control over your nicotine hit without buying a dozen separate small bottles.

The flavour range

There are around 20 flavours in the Hayati Pro Max 100ml 50/50 line, and it leans hard into the sharp, sweet, fruity style Hayati built its reputation on. A few worth calling out:

• Banana Ice, creamy banana up front with a cold menthol finish, one of the more balanced all-day options.
• Blue Razz Cherry, tart blue raspberry against a darker cherry undertone, less one-note than a straight raspberry.
• Blue Razz Gummy Bear, sweeter and more candy-led, built for people who want dessert-style vaping without the heaviness.
• Blue Sour Raspberry, sharp and tangy, closer to actual sour sweets than most "sour" e-liquids manage.
• Watermelon Ice, Strawberry Kiwi, Pink Lemonade, Mango Peach Pineapple, Triple Mango, Cherry Cola, Double Apple, Grape Berry, Fresh Mint, Blueberry Raspberry, Cola Ice, Strawberry Watermelon, Peach Aura, Rocky Candy Orange, Sunset Aura and Ice Pop round out the range.

Menthol and ice variants sit throughout the list rather than being one or two token options, which matters if you rotate between a fruity daytime flavour and something colder in the evening. Fruit-on-fruit blends (mango peach pineapple, blueberry raspberry) tend to hold their character better over a full bottle than single-note flavours, which can taste thinner by the time you're on the last third.

Why it's sold at 0mg

This bottle contains no nicotine. Under UK TPD rules, any e-liquid bottle over 10ml has to be sold nicotine-free, so a 100ml bottle like this one is always a shortfill by design, you either vape it as-is with zero nicotine, or add your own nic salt shot to bring it up to strength. That's not a workaround, it's just how 100ml e-liquid is legally sold in the UK, and it's why the bottle is listed as nicotine-free rather than at a fixed mg strength.

Setting it up properly

If you're adding a nic shot, drop it in, cap the bottle, and give it a proper shake, not a quick swirl, actually invert and shake for a good 20-30 seconds so the nicotine disperses evenly through the full 50/50 mix rather than pooling. Then let it sit for a few minutes before your first fill so it settles.

Before you vape it in a new coil, prime the coil first: a few drops on the wick through the airflow slots, then let the tank sit filled for five to ten minutes before firing. Vaping a dry coil straight out of the packet is the single most common cause of a burnt taste, and it has nothing to do with the e-liquid itself. Once it's primed:

• Keep the tank topped up, running low and chain-vaping the last few drops is the fastest way to scorch a coil.
• Match your wattage to the coil's rated range rather than pushing it high just because you can; a 50/50 blend doesn't need aggressive power to produce good vapour.
• Take shorter, slower pulls rather than long continuous drags, which lets the wick keep re-saturating between hits.
• If the flavour starts fading rather than tasting burnt, that's usually coil fatigue rather than the liquid, swap it out.

A muted or flat taste (as opposed to burnt) is more often down to the coil being past its best, or the tank sitting unused for weeks with old liquid oxidising inside it. Neither is a fault with the e-liquid.

Who this suits

The 50/50 ratio puts this squarely in MTL and low-wattage pod territory rather than sub-ohm cloud-chasing. It works well for:

• Pod kit and MTL tank users who want a tighter, more cigarette-like draw than high-VG liquid gives you.
• Anyone switching from disposables or prefilled pods who wants to choose their own flavour and strength instead of what's stuck in a cartridge.
• Vapers who go through liquid quickly and want a bigger bottle rather than restocking 10ml bottles every few days.
• People who specifically want a 0mg option, plenty of long-term vapers keep a nicotine-free bottle around for evenings or for winding strength down gradually.

If you're running a sub-ohm tank or a rebuildable at higher wattage, the 70/30 version of the same line will feed vapour production better, worth checking if you're not sure which ratio your setup wants.

How it compares

Against small nic salt bottles, the trade-off is straightforward: 10ml nic salts come pre-mixed at a fixed strength and are the faster, simpler option if you're not fussed about tweaking anything. A 100ml shortfill like this one costs more upfront but works out cheaper per ml once you've bought a nic shot, and it gives you the flexibility to land on a specific strength rather than choosing between whatever fixed mg options happen to be on the shelf. Against other 100ml shortfills on the market, the 50/50 ratio is the less common choice, most shortfill lines default to 70/30 or higher VG for cloud and flavour production, so this one specifically fills the gap for people who want shortfill pricing and volume but a tighter, pod-friendly draw.

Nicotine strength guidance

UK nic salt e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml (2%) by law, and that's the ceiling regardless of brand or bottle size. When you add a nic salt shot to this 100ml bottle, use one made for shortfill mixing and follow the ratio printed on that shot's packaging, don't eyeball it. A few points worth keeping in mind:

• Nic salts hit smoother at higher strengths than freebase nicotine, which is why 20mg is common for salts but would feel harsh as a freebase e-liquid.
• If you're a heavier smoker switching over, starting closer to the upper end of what your device and throat can handle tends to work better than under-dosing and going back to cigarettes out of frustration.
• If you're already vaping comfortably and just want variety, a lower-strength shot or the 0mg bottle on its own both work fine, there's no rule saying every fill needs nicotine in it.
• Never mix in more nicotine than your shot and bottle combination is designed for, going over the 20mg/ml cap isn't just against the rules, it's genuinely unpleasant to vape.

Care and storage

Keep the bottle upright, out of direct sunlight, and somewhere that doesn't get hot, a kitchen cupboard away from the oven or a car glovebox in summer will degrade flavour and, if you've added nicotine, speed up its breakdown too. Once opened, try to use it within a few months for the best flavour; e-liquid doesn't go dangerous with age but it does go flat and slightly bitter as the VG/PG mix oxidises. Store it well out of reach of children and pets regardless of whether you've added nicotine, the bottle's tamper-evident cap and child-resistant closure are there for a reason, and it should always go back on properly after use. This product is for adults 18+ only.

FAQ

Does this bottle contain nicotine?

No. As sold, it's 0mg. You can vape it exactly as-is if you don't want nicotine, or add a nic salt shot yourself to bring it up to strength, up to the UK's 20mg/ml limit.

What's the difference between the 50/50 and 70/30 versions?

The ratio of vegetable glycerine to propylene glycol. 50/50 gives a tighter throat hit and works best in pod kits and MTL tanks; 70/30 produces more vapour and suits sub-ohm setups better.

Can I use any nic shot with it?

Any UK-compliant nic salt shot designed for shortfill mixing will work. Follow the mixing ratio on that product's own packaging rather than guessing.

Why does my vape taste burnt after filling?

Almost always an unprimed or worn-out coil rather than the liquid, prime new coils before firing, and replace coils once flavour starts dropping off rather than pushing them past their life.

Is 100ml a lot to get through before it goes off?

For a regular daily vaper it's a normal amount to work through within a few weeks, well inside the window where flavour stays fresh if it's stored properly.
