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

Strawberry Raspberry Ice on a 70/30 base: lush berries riding a cloud of cool

Take the same sweet-tart red berry duo with an icy finish, then rebuild it on a 70 percent VG to 30 percent PG base, and the character shifts completely. The 70/30 version of the Hayati Pro Max 100ml is the cloud-lover's rendering of Strawberry Raspberry Ice. The higher vegetable glycerine content makes the liquid thicker and the vapour thick with it, so the flavour arrives softer, rounder and lusher, carried on big, dense plumes with a broad, airy coolness spread right through them. Where a balanced base sharpens and separates, this one wraps everything in a smooth, sweet, chilled fog.

Being a 100ml bottle, it comes to you in the UK as a nicotine-free short fill, since nicotine e-liquid is limited to 10ml bottles at up to 20mg/ml. Adding a nic shot is optional and an over-18s decision, though many sub-ohm vapers run bottles like this at zero nicotine and let the flavour and clouds do the talking.

The flavour across a full draw

On a high-VG base the flavour unfolds a beat more gently than on a thinner mix, and it feels bigger in the mouth. The inhale brings a soft, ripe strawberry that is rounder and sweeter here, the VG lending it a pillowy body. The raspberry follows, but its tartness is smoothed and softened, folding into the strawberry more than standing apart from it, so the two read as one generous, jammy red-berry swell rather than two distinct fruits.

The ice behaves differently too. Instead of a sharp, pointed snap, the cooling on 70/30 spreads out into a wide, mellow chill that rides across the whole exhale and cools the big cloud from the inside. It is refreshing without being biting, a gentle frost laid over a warm-fruit heart. The exhale is where this version truly shows off, producing dense, satisfying vapour with a sweet berry sweetness that fills the room and a soft coolness that lingers pleasantly. The throat hit is smooth and easy, since high VG is far gentler on the throat, which makes it comfortable for long, deep, direct-to-lung draws.

Who it is for and when to reach for it

This ratio is squarely aimed at sub-ohm and direct-to-lung vapers. If you run a sub-ohm tank or an RDA at higher wattage and you love a big, smooth exhale, the 70/30 base gives you the clouds and the soft mouthfeel that thinner liquids simply cannot. The lower PG content also means a much gentler throat hit, which is ideal for anyone who finds sharper liquids scratchy.

By mood, this is a relaxed, indulgent vape. The lush sweetness and rolling clouds suit unwinding at home, a leisurely evening, gaming or watching something, or any moment where you want a big, comforting, flavourful exhale rather than a quick sharp hit. The cool berry sweetness still refreshes, so it is not confined to evenings, but its softer, cloudier nature leans cosier than the crisp 50/50 sibling.

How it differs from the 50/50 and what to rotate with

The clearest comparison is with the 50/50 version of the very same flavour. Where 50/50 is sharp, cool and precise with distinct berries and a firmer throat hit, this 70/30 is smooth, rounded and cloudy, blending the fruits together, softening the ice into a broad chill, and trading flavour separation for body, sweetness and vapour. Neither is better in the abstract, they simply suit different devices and different tastes. Against other iced berries, this one stands out for how plush and full-bodied it feels on a big draw.

To keep the palate lively across a large bottle, rotate it with contrasting profiles:

• A crisp, tangy flavour such as a lemonade or citrus, for a sharper change of pace against all this smoothness.
• A cool menthol or mint when you want the cold clean and unsweetened as a reset.
• A dessert or cream profile for evenings, since high-VG clouds carry richer flavours beautifully.

The soft sweetness of a high-VG berry is the sort of thing your palate can grow numb to if you never switch, so a sharper second bottle keeps this one tasting generous rather than flat.

Getting the best from it and when it peaks

High-VG short fills reward a proper steep. If you add a nic shot, shake thoroughly and, ideally, let the bottle stand for a day or two so the thicker liquid blends and mellows fully. A rested 70/30 tends to taste noticeably smoother and more melded than a freshly mixed one. Because the liquid is thick, give new coils extra priming time and a good soak before firing, since high VG wicks more slowly and a rushed coil will taste dry and burnt.

This flavour is at its best with plenty of airflow and a coil in its comfortable wattage window, where the clouds come easily and the berries stay sweet and the ice stays smooth. Push too hard and the delicate raspberry can caramelise and the cool can turn flat, so let the vapour build rather than forcing it. Fresh cotton always brings the sweetness back to its brightest.

Storage, coil life and value

Keep the bottle cool, upright and away from light, as heat and sunlight dull both the fruit and the menthol over time. High-VG liquids are thicker and can gunk coils a little faster than thin ones, especially sweet fruit blends, so expect to change coils on a sensible schedule and enjoy the payoff of bigger, richer clouds in return. As a 100ml short fill it offers excellent value, far more liquid per pound than small bottles, which makes it an easy pick for a heavy sub-ohm user who gets through volume quickly.

Who should steer clear

If you vape a mouth-to-lung pod or a tight starter device, a 70/30 base is too thick and will struggle to wick, leading to dry, burnt hits, so the 50/50 version is the right one for you. If you want the individual berries razor-sharp and distinct, this smoother blend will feel too merged. And if you specifically want a strong, biting ice or a firm throat hit, the mellow chill and gentle throat feel here may disappoint, in which case a higher-PG liquid delivers the punch you are after.

Flavour FAQ

Why do the berries taste smoother than on the 50/50?

The higher VG content thickens the liquid and rounds off the flavour, so the sweet strawberry and tart raspberry blend into one lush red-berry body rather than staying sharply separate. You gain smoothness, sweetness and clouds, and you soften the crisp definition you would get from a higher-PG base.

How big and cool is the exhale?

Large and gently cool. This base is built for dense, satisfying clouds, and the ice spreads through them as a broad, mellow chill rather than a sharp snap. Expect a smooth, refreshing exhale with plenty of sweet berry vapour and an easy, comfortable throat feel.

Does it contain nicotine out of the bottle?

No, as a 100ml UK short fill it is nicotine-free by default, because nicotine e-liquid is limited to 10ml bottles and a 20mg/ml cap. You can add a nic shot if you want nicotine, though plenty of sub-ohm vapers run it at zero. Adding nicotine is strictly for over-18s.
