Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 50/50 – Vimbull Ice

Vimbull Ice in 50/50: the cordial-and-cold classic, sharpened up

Anyone who grew up in Britain knows the taste memory that Vimbull leans on. That deep, purple-red mixed-berry cordial, the one made from blackcurrant, raspberry and grape, is woven into school dinners and summer holidays, and Vimbull Ice takes it, adds a rounded blueberry lift, then drops the whole lot over ice. In the Hayati Pro Max 100ml 50/50 blend, that nostalgic flavour is delivered in its sharpest, most defined form, and that balanced ratio is the reason why.

A 50/50 mix of PG and VG carries flavour with real precision and gives a firmer throat hit, which suits a tighter, mouth-to-lung draw in pod kits and lower-powered devices. It is supplied as a nicotine-free 100ml shortfill, so you can vape it as is or add a nic shot to reach your preferred strength within the legal limit. What that thinner, PG-forward liquid does to the taste is the interesting part, so let us dig in.

The taste, drawn tight and cold

First inhale. The 50/50 ratio hits the flavour receptors fast and clean. Straight away you get that concentrated dark-berry cordial, sharp at the edges, with the blackcurrant leading and a tart raspberry brightness right behind it. There is a pointed clarity to it, as though the flavour has been drawn in fine lines rather than broad brushstrokes.

Mid-vape. The grape and blueberry fill in the middle, adding a rounder, jammier body under the sharp top notes, but even here the 50/50 keeps everything crisp and legible. You can pick apart the berries rather than getting one blurred purple mass. Then the ice arrives, and in this ratio it feels precise and focused, a cold spike rather than a soft wash.

Exhale and aftertaste. The finish is clean and briskly cold, with a satisfying throat hit that ex-smokers often miss in smoother liquids. The berry tang lingers just long enough to stay moreish, then the menthol wipes it away and leaves your mouth feeling sharp and refreshed. It is punchy, direct and unmistakably a proper mouth-to-lung flavour.

Who this ratio is for

The 50/50 Vimbull Ice is made for pod and pen users, for MTL vapers, and for anyone who values flavour intensity and throat hit over big clouds. If you are moving across from cigarettes and want that firm catch at the back of the throat alongside a genuinely refreshing flavour, this ratio delivers it. It is also ideal for people who found sub-ohm liquids too soft and muted, because 50/50 keeps the berry edges crisp and the menthol sharp.

Occasion-wise it is an anytime flavour, but it is especially good as a hydrating, wake-you-up vape on warm days and as a palate-sharpener between meals. The nostalgia factor makes it a comforting pick, while the cold finish keeps it from ever feeling old-fashioned.

How it compares

Against a plain blackcurrant menthol, Vimbull Ice is fuller and more interesting, since the raspberry, grape and blueberry give it a rounded cordial depth a single berry cannot match. Compared with a sweet Vimto-style flavour without the ice, this version is more refreshing and less syrupy, because the cold cuts the sweetness and stops it cloying. And crucially, set the 50/50 beside its 70/30 sibling and the difference is textural as much as anything: this ratio tastes sharper, more concentrated and more pointed, with a stronger throat hit and tighter, more defined berry notes, where the higher-VG version turns softer and cloudier.

Rotation and pairing

A rich, dark-berry menthol like this is bold enough that vaping it non-stop can tire the palate, so rotate it with lighter company.

• Alternate with a simple lemonade or citrus flavour to give the deep berries a rest and reset your sweet tolerance.
• Rotate in a plain menthol on days you want the cool without the cordial richness.
• Pair it with a lighter single fruit such as apple or pear so your rotation swings between deep and crisp.

Avoid following it immediately with another heavy dark-fruit liquid, since two intense berry blends back to back tend to muddy each other.

Practical notes and value

Shortfills reward a little patience. Once you have added any nic shot, give the bottle a proper shake and, ideally, a short rest so the flavour marries fully, which lets the berries and ice settle into a smoother whole. Store it upright, away from sunlight and heat, and keep the cap on tight between uses to protect both the menthol and the nicotine if you have added it.

For a 50/50 like this, a plain round-wire MTL coil in the 0.8ohm to 1.2ohm region tends to give the crispest, truest berry-and-ice character, whereas very low-resistance coils can overwhelm the delicate top notes. At 100ml with multibuy pricing, this is a cost-effective way to keep an all-day flavour topped up, and a big bottle means you are refilling far less often than with prefilled pods.

Who might want the other ratio instead

If you run a sub-ohm or direct-to-lung kit and chase big clouds, this 50/50 will feel thin and the throat hit may be stronger than you want at higher power. Cloud-focused vapers, and anyone who prefers a soft, mellow draw over a punchy one, will likely be happier with the 70/30 version of the very same flavour. For MTL and pod users after clarity and a proper throat catch, though, this is the ratio to choose.

This liquid is for over-18s, and any nicotine you add must keep the finished strength within the UK cap of 20mg/ml for nic salts.

Vimbull Ice 50/50 FAQ

What exactly is the Vimbull flavour?

It is a mixed dark-berry cordial profile, built around blackcurrant, raspberry and grape with a rounding blueberry note, then chilled with menthol. If you know the classic purple British berry cordial, you are most of the way there, just colder and a touch fresher.

Why choose 50/50 over 70/30 for this flavour?

Pick 50/50 if you use a pod or MTL kit and want sharper flavour, a firmer throat hit and a tighter draw. This ratio keeps the berry notes crisp and defined and the ice pointed, which suits lower-powered devices better than a high-VG blend would.

Do I have to add nicotine?

No. It comes as a nicotine-free 100ml shortfill, so you can enjoy it at 0mg, or add a nic shot to reach the strength you like, keeping within the legal 20mg/ml limit for salts.
