Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 Prefilled Pod Kit – Blackcurrant Lemonade

Blackcurrant Lemonade: a classic pairing that earns its reputation

Blackcurrant and lemonade is one of those flavour combinations that barely needs explaining in the UK, it's the taste of squash bottles and corner-shop drinks, and Hayati's version on the Pro Ultra Plus 25000 leans into that familiarity rather than trying to reinvent it. What makes it work as a vape flavour rather than just a nostalgia trick is the way the two sides genuinely take turns, rather than one simply flavouring the other. A lot of blackcurrant-and-citrus vapes settle for a vague fruity-sharp impression; this one keeps enough separation between the two elements that it still reads as a proper pairing rather than a single blended note.

How the two sides play out across a pull

Blackcurrant leads on the inhale, and it's a proper dark, slightly tart fruit note rather than a sweetened-down version, closer to blackcurrant cordial before you've added too much water than to a jammy, sugary fruit flavour. As the draw develops, the lemonade side comes through underneath, bringing a light citrus, fizz-adjacent sharpness that doesn't taste sour so much as bright, even without any actual carbonation involved. The two don't fully merge into one flavour; instead they trade the lead across the pull, with blackcurrant dominating early and the lemonade's citrus lift taking over as you exhale. What's left afterward is clean rather than syrupy, a light, faintly sweet citrus note rather than fruit sitting heavy on the tongue, which is what stops this flavour tipping into being sickly over a long vaping session, even when it's the only thing you're vaping through a full afternoon.

When this flavour is at its best

Blackcurrant Lemonade is a genuine warm-weather, refreshment-first flavour, it's built to taste like a cold drink, and it delivers best when you're actually wanting something that feels thirst-quenching rather than indulgent. It suits daytime and social vaping particularly well, and it's an easy recommendation for anyone who grew up drinking blackcurrant squash or lemonade-based soft drinks, since the flavour memory does a lot of the work here. It's also a solid choice for people newer to vaping who want something that doesn't taste artificial or overly candy-like, this sits much closer to an actual drink than to a sweet shop. It works equally well after food, when a heavier dessert-style flavour can feel like too much, since the citrus lift leaves the palate feeling cleaner rather than more sated.

Where it sits against other fruit and citrus blends

Compared to a straight blackcurrant flavour, the lemonade brings real lift and stops things feeling too heavy or one-note, it's a noticeably brighter, less syrupy experience. Against pure lemonade or citrus vapes, the blackcurrant adds depth and a fruitiness that a citrus-only flavour can't match on its own. It's less sweet overall than fruit-and-candy blends, and less sharp than a straight citrus, which puts it in a comfortable middle ground that works well as a daily flavour rather than an occasional treat. It also reads differently to other lemonade pairings, a Strawberry Lemonade or Pink Lemonade tends to sit sweeter and softer, whereas the blackcurrant here keeps things a shade more grown-up and less like a soft drink aimed purely at a sweet tooth.

Because both blackcurrant and lemonade sit toward the "familiar, easy" end of the flavour spectrum, it's still worth rotating in something with more novelty every so often, a tropical or dessert-style flavour makes a good contrast, simply so this one doesn't become so familiar it stops registering as a distinct taste. Precisely because it's such a recognisable combination, it's easy to vape it on autopilot without really noticing the flavour any more, and a short break is usually enough to bring blackcurrant and lemonade both back into proper focus rather than just tasting like "the usual."

Practical notes for the truest flavour

The citrus element in particular is one of the more heat-sensitive notes in vape flavouring, so keeping the device away from direct sun or warm environments protects the lemonade's brightness more than it does the blackcurrant. It's also a flavour that benefits from a slightly slower draw, pulling too fast tends to bring the blackcurrant forward and can mute the lemonade's lift, whereas a steadier pull lets both sides come through in the order they're meant to.

Blackcurrant Lemonade FAQ

Does this taste more like blackcurrant or more like lemonade?

Both come through clearly rather than one dominating, blackcurrant leads on the inhale, with the lemonade's citrus brightness taking over on the exhale.

Is it a sweet flavour or a sharper, more citrus-forward one?

It sits in between, sweeter than a straight citrus vape thanks to the blackcurrant, but noticeably less sweet and syrupy than fruit-candy blends, closer to an actual soft drink in balance.

Is Blackcurrant Lemonade a good choice for someone who wants a refreshing everyday flavour?

Yes, its clean, drink-like profile and balanced sweetness make it well suited to daily use, particularly for anyone who wants fruit and citrus without leaning into dessert-style sweetness.
