Hayati Pro Max Shisha Nic Salts – Bru Ice & Ruby Lychee

A shisha lounge flavour with a fruity, icy finish

Hayati's Shisha Nic Salts range takes its cues from hookah lounge flavour blending rather than standard vape shop fruit combinations, and Bru Ice And Ruby Lychee is a good showcase of that approach. It pairs a rich, brewed bru base, the kind of warm, slightly spiced depth you would associate with a well mixed shisha blend, with a bright, floral lychee sweetness and a genuine cold finish. It is a more layered, unusual flavour than most standard fruit or dessert vapes, and it rewards a slower, more attentive draw.

The opening inhale leans into the bru side first. There is a warm, almost brewed depth to it, not smoky exactly, but rounded and a little spiced, the sort of base note that shisha flavours use to give a blend some backbone rather than being purely sweet from the first second. It is an unusual sensation if you have only vaped straightforward fruit or menthol flavours before, closer to something you would find in a proper hookah lounge blend than a typical vape shop fruit mix. Within a beat or two, the lychee steps in, and it arrives as genuinely floral and sweet, with that distinctive perfumed lychee character rather than a generic tropical fruit note.

Through the middle of the draw, the ruby lychee takes the lead, sweet and fragrant, while the bru base continues underneath, giving the flavour a rounded, layered feel rather than a flat one note sweetness. The ice comes through more clearly as the draw develops, a cold wash that cuts across the sweetness and stops the lychee from feeling too perfumed or heavy. On the exhale, the cold and the lychee tend to combine into a smooth, faintly floral finish, with the bru note fading into the background as more of a memory than an active flavour by that point. It is a flavour that changes shape from inhale to exhale rather than tasting the same throughout, which is part of what makes it feel closer to a shisha lounge experience than a simple vape flavour.

Who this flavour suits

This one is aimed at vapers who already enjoy shisha style flavours or who want something with more complexity than a straightforward fruit or dessert vape. If you have spent time in hookah lounges and liked the more layered, brewed style blends over simple fruit ones, Bru Ice And Ruby Lychee is built with that reference point in mind. It also suits anyone bored of the usual berry and menthol rotation who wants a flavour that actually takes a moment to unfold rather than hitting all at once.

It works particularly well in the evening, when there is time to actually sit with a flavour rather than vaping on the move. A slower, more relaxed setting, catching up with friends, unwinding after work, suits the layered nature of this blend far better than a rushed vape between errands. It is less suited to quick, distracted vaping, simply because the bru and lychee layers are easiest to appreciate when you are not rushing the draw.

How it compares to other lychee and shisha flavours

Against a plain lychee flavour with no ice or bru base, Bru Ice And Ruby Lychee is considerably more complex and less purely sweet. Straight lychee vapes can sometimes feel a bit thin or overly perfumed on their own, and the bru base here gives it more weight and structure, while the ice stops the floral sweetness tipping into cloying territory. Compared with other shisha style blends that lean on grape, mint, or double apple, this one is fruitier and brighter thanks to the lychee, while still keeping that characteristic shisha depth in the background.

Because this is a genuinely layered flavour, palate fatigue can creep in a little differently than with a simple fruit vape, since your palate can start losing track of the subtler bru notes even while the lychee and ice stay noticeable. Rotating in something simpler and cleaner, a straightforward mint or a light single fruit, gives your palate a break and helps the layered complexity of Bru Ice And Ruby Lychee feel fresh again when you come back to it.

Getting the truest taste from it

Nic salt formulations like this one are designed for lower power pod setups, and that matters more here than with a simpler flavour, since too much heat can flatten the more delicate bru and lychee notes into a generic sweet and cold blur. Keeping to the wattage and coil type the device is designed for helps preserve the layering that makes this flavour worth the extra attention.

Slow, steady draws bring out the shape of the flavour properly, letting the bru note register before the lychee and ice take over, rather than blurring the whole sequence into one hit. As with any bottle featuring cooling and floral compounds, keeping it away from heat and direct sunlight helps the ice and lychee notes stay crisp rather than fading into something flatter over time.

Bru Ice And Ruby Lychee FAQ

What does bru actually taste like in this flavour?

It is a warm, rounded, brewed style base note common in shisha flavour blending, giving the vape some depth and structure rather than a straightforward fruity sweetness from the first inhale.

Is this flavour more fruity or more like a shisha blend?

It sits between the two, with the ruby lychee bringing clear floral fruit sweetness while the bru base and cooling ice give it the layered feel more associated with shisha style vaping.

Is it a strong ice flavour or more subtle?

The ice is present and noticeable, particularly on the exhale, though it is balanced against the lychee sweetness and bru depth rather than being the dominant note throughout. As a nic salt e-liquid, it is intended for adults over 18 and, as with other UK nic salts, comes within the 20mg/ml strength cap.
