Hayati Pro Max E-Liquid 100ml 70/30 – Banana Ice

On a 70/30 VG to PG mix, Banana Ice from the Hayati Pro Max range trades some of the sharper throat hit for bigger clouds and a noticeably smoother pull, and that shift changes how the flavour actually lands. The higher VG content rounds off the banana, making it taste creamier and slightly sweeter than it does on a lower-VG liquid, while the ice comes through as a cooler, softer wave rather than a sharp menthol snap.

First inhale to last exhale

The draw opens slower here than it would on a tighter mouth-to-lung setup, the higher VG content takes a fraction longer to vaporise fully, so the banana builds gradually rather than hitting all at once. What arrives is rounder and creamier than a 50/50 version of the same flavour, closer to a proper banana milkshake, with less of the sharper, almost artificial edge that a higher-PG liquid can carry. The ice follows as a gentle wave rather than a sudden cold snap, softened by the thicker vapour, so it reads more as a cool undertone running beneath the banana than a separate menthol layer sitting on top of it. On the exhale, the bigger cloud carries the flavour further, and because VG holds aroma differently to PG, the banana lingers a touch longer on the palate than it would on a thinner mix, with the ice fading out first and a soft banana sweetness left behind.

The throat hit is noticeably gentler on this ratio, which suits a longer, deeper draw rather than the quick pull a mouth-to-lung device encourages. That gentler hit changes the pacing of the flavour too: without a sharp throat sensation cutting the draw short, there's more time for the banana and ice to develop and separate from each other before you exhale, which is part of why this ratio tends to taste rounder and less punchy than the same flavour on a 50/50 mix.

Who this flavour suits

This is built for sub-ohm tanks and higher-powered devices rather than simple pod systems, so it suits vapers who already prefer bigger clouds and a softer draw over a tight, cigarette-like pull. It's a strong fit for anyone who found a 50/50 or high-PG Banana Ice flavour a bit sharp or thin, since the extra VG smooths out exactly those edges. This tends to work best as a relaxed, unhurried vape rather than something snatched between tasks, since the flavour rewards longer draws and the bigger clouds are part of the appeal rather than incidental. Evening sessions, when there's time to actually draw slowly and exhale properly, tend to suit this flavour better than a rushed vape on the move.

How it compares and what to pair it with

Against the same flavour on a 50/50 mix, this version is softer across the board: less throat hit, less sharpness on the ice, and a rounder, sweeter banana note that reads more like dessert than fruit. Compared with other high-VG fruit ice flavours, Banana Ice sits toward the creamier, less sharp end, closer in feel to a mango or peach ice than to something citrus-led like lemon ice, where the fruit itself carries more acidity. Against a straight, non-ice banana on the same ratio, the cooling note here is doing real work, stopping what could be a slightly flat, sugary flavour from becoming cloying over a long session.

• A sharper citrus or berry ice flavour on the same VG ratio makes a good rotation partner, giving your palate contrast after the creaminess of banana
• A tobacco or menthol-only flavour works well as a change of pace, since sweet fruit flavours on high VG can start to feel heavy if vaped exclusively for days
• If you also stock the 50/50 version of this same flavour, switching between the two is itself a useful way to avoid fatigue, since the ratio changes how sharp or soft the same Banana Ice profile feels

Getting the truest taste from it

This liquid performs best in a tank or device built for sub-ohm coils rather than a tight mouth-to-lung pod, since it needs enough power and airflow to vaporise the thicker VG properly; on underpowered gear it can taste thin or under-developed. Slower, longer draws let the banana build fully before the ice arrives, matching the pace the liquid is designed for, rushed puffing tends to waste the smoother character that's the main reason to choose this ratio over a 50/50 mix in the first place. Fresh coils also matter more here than on thinner liquids, since higher VG liquid needs a properly saturated wick to avoid a dry, burnt taste undercutting the flavour. All nicotine salt e-liquids sold in the UK are capped at 20mg/ml by law, and this product is intended for adult smokers and vapers aged 18 and over only.

Banana Ice, 70/30, answered

How different does this actually taste compared to the 50/50 version?

The core Banana Ice profile is the same flavour, but the higher VG content makes it taste noticeably rounder and sweeter, with a softer throat hit and a gentler, slower-building ice, rather than the sharper, more immediate hit you get from a 50/50 mix.

Do I need a sub-ohm tank to vape this properly?

A device built for higher-VG liquid and sub-ohm coils will give you the fullest flavour and cloud from this mix. On a low-power pod system built for 50/50 liquids it may taste thinner and be harder to vaporise fully.

Does the banana or the ice come through stronger on this ratio?

Banana leads throughout, with the ice acting as a softer cooling undertone rather than a distinct separate note. This ratio suits people who want the fruit to stay the star of the flavour, with cooling in support rather than competing for attention.
