Hayati Pro Ultra Plus Shisha 30K Pods – Double Apple/Double Apple

Two apples, one legendary combination

Double apple is the flavour that built the modern shisha world, and Hayati's version leans into that history rather than trying to reinvent it. This isn't a single apple note stretched thin across a vape. It's two distinct apple characters layered on top of each other: a green, slightly sour apple that hits first, and a darker, syrupy red apple that rounds things out underneath. The "double" in the name isn't marketing fluff, it genuinely tastes like two different apples sharing the same pod.

How the flavour unfolds

On the first pull you get that familiar shisha-lounge top note, a crisp green apple with a faint aniseed whisper running through it. That aniseed edge is what separates true double apple from a plain fruity apple vape, it gives the flavour a smoky, slightly spiced backbone that feels closer to tobacco-free hookah than to a fruit-pastille e-liquid. As the vapour sits in your mouth for a second before you exhale, the profile shifts. The tartness fades and a deeper, jammier red apple takes over, almost like baked apple with a touch of brown sugar. The exhale is where this flavour earns its reputation, warm, faintly spiced, and lingering longer than most fruit flavours manage without turning sickly.

Because these are prefilled replacement pods, the flavour arrives fully saturated from the first puff, there's no steeping period or flat opening few draws like you sometimes get with a fresh coil in a refillable setup. What you taste in pod one is what you'll taste in pod five, which matters a lot for a flavour this layered, since any inconsistency would flatten the green-to-red apple transition that makes it work.

When and who this flavour is for

Double apple suits anyone who came to vaping from actual shisha, or who simply wants something that doesn't taste like candy. It's a mood flavour more than a background one. Reach for it in the evening, after food, or during a slow social session with mates, it's built for the kind of unhurried vaping that shisha itself was always about. It's less suited to someone wanting a quick, punchy fruit hit first thing in the morning, the spice note wants a bit of time and attention rather than a rushed few puffs between meetings.

People who enjoy black tea, dark fruit, or actual apple shisha tobacco tend to take to this one immediately. If you've only ever vaped bright, sugary fruit mixes, double apple can feel like a genuinely different category of flavour rather than a variation on a theme, and it's worth going in expecting that.

Where it sits next to other flavours

Compared to a straight green apple or apple ice flavour, Hayati's double apple is warmer and less sharp. There's no menthol chill here, no artificial candy sweetness sitting on top, just the fruit and that anise-tinged spice doing the work. Against other shisha-style blends like grape mint or watermelon mint, double apple is the least icy and the most food-like, it reads more like an actual dessert or a cup of spiced tea than a cold drink.

• Rotate with a menthol or ice flavour between sessions if the spice starts to feel heavy, the cold reset clears the palate fast.
• Pair with a plain tobacco or neutral flavour on days you want double apple to feel special rather than routine, saving it stops the spice note from becoming background noise.
• Avoid stacking it back to back with other anise-forward or liquorice flavours, the spice notes compete rather than complement.

Getting the most out of the flavour

Because this is a prefilled pod, there isn't much you need to do beyond letting each new pod sit for a minute or two before your first draw, giving the coil a moment to fully wet through settles the flavour and avoids a slightly thin first few puffs. Take slower, longer draws rather than short sharp ones, the transition from green apple to red apple genuinely needs a beat to show itself, and rushed puffing flattens that into a single generic apple note. The flavour is also at its best when the pod is fresh, like most prefilled systems the top notes soften slightly as a pod nears the end of its life, so if you're chasing that sharp opening aniseed hit, it's most vivid in a newly opened pod rather than one that's been running a few days.

Does double apple taste like actual shisha tobacco?

It's built to echo the flavour of double apple hookah tobacco rather than replicate tobacco itself, there's no tobacco leaf involved. The spiced, slightly smoky apple character is what people associate with shisha lounges, and that's the note Hayati has aimed for here.

Is this flavour very sweet?

No, it's one of the less sugary options on the menu. The green apple opening keeps things tart, and even the red apple base reads more like baked fruit than sweet shop candy, so it won't sit heavy the way some dessert vapes can.

Will the flavour fade before the pod runs out?

Prefilled pods are designed to hold their flavour fairly evenly across their life, though like any e-liquid the top notes can soften slightly in the final stretch. Storing spare pods somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight helps keep that opening spice note as sharp as possible for as long as possible.
