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

Double apple has been the house flavour of shisha lounges for decades, the one blend most people can identify blind after a single pull. Hayati's Pro Ultra Plus Shisha 30K takes that familiar base and layers a rainbow candy sweetness over the top, then finishes it with a cold snap of frozen apple. The result reads less like a straight shisha tribute and more like a fruit sherbet built on an apple skeleton, which is exactly why it has become one of the more talked about flavours in the Hayati pod range.

First Inhale: Ice Before Anything Else

Pull on this one and the cold arrives before the fruit does. It is not a menthol blast that numbs the palate, more a light frost that clears the way for what comes next. Underneath that chill sits the unmistakable tang of green apple skin, sharp and slightly sour, the same note that anchors a good double apple shisha session. Within a second or two the second apple note lands, a rounder, redder sweetness that softens the initial bite and stops it from tipping into anything too tart.

Mid Vape: The Rainbow Layer Opens Up

Where a standard double apple flavour would stay fairly linear, this one shifts gears once you are a few pulls in. The rainbow candy element starts to surface, a sugary, slightly fizzy sweetness that sits somewhere between fruit chews and sherbet dust. It does not overpower the apple base, it sits on top of it, so you get the structure of a shisha flavour with a candy shop finish layered across the middle of the vape. This is the point where the flavour feels most complex, with the two apple notes and the candy sweetness all moving at once rather than in sequence.

Exhale and the Aftertaste That Lingers

The exhale is where the frozen apple naming earns its place. Cool air rolls out with a clean apple skin finish, less sweet than the inhale, more crisp. What lingers afterwards is subtle, a faint sugary note on the back of the tongue paired with that cooling sensation that takes a few seconds to fade completely. It is refreshing rather than heavy, which makes it easy to keep coming back to without feeling like the palate is being coated in sugar.

Who This Flavour Suits

This is a strong pick for anyone who already enjoys the traditional double apple profile from shisha but wants something with more movement and less of the tobacco adjacent smokiness that some hookah blends carry. It also works well for vapers coming from candy or sherbet flavours who want a slightly more grown up, less one note option. Because of the icy finish, it tends to suit evening sessions best, particularly after food, when a cooling palate cleanser is more welcome than another dessert style flavour. It also holds up well in warm weather, when the frozen apple finish feels genuinely refreshing rather than just decorative.

How It Compares and What to Pair It With

Set next to a plain double apple flavour, this one is noticeably sweeter and less smoky, with the candy layer doing a lot of the work that molasses or tobacco leaf notes would normally provide in an actual shisha session. Compared with other frozen fruit pods, it leans less sour than a frozen blue raspberry style flavour and less tropical than something built around mango or passionfruit, sitting in its own lane as an apple forward candy blend.

Because the flavour is sweet and fairly rich by the middle of the vape, it is worth rotating with something cleaner to stop the palate from flattening out over a long day. A few options that work well alongside it include:

• A plain menthol or mint pod for a reset between sessions
• A citrus based flavour to cut through the sugar with some acidity
• A simple tobacco style flavour if you want to go back to something closer to the original shisha inspiration

Rotating even once or twice a day helps keep the rainbow candy layer feeling distinct rather than blending into background sweetness.

Getting the Truest Taste From It

Prefilled pods like this one taste best once the wick has had a minute or two to fully soak after fitting, so give a new pod a short rest before pulling hard on it, otherwise the first few draws can taste thinner than the flavour is capable of. Slower, gentler pulls tend to let the cooling and the candy layer both come through more clearly than fast, hard hits, which can push the vapour temperature up and mute some of the icy sensation. Keeping unused pods somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight also helps protect the top notes, since heat can dull the sharper apple and candy elements over time. As with all nic salt vapes sold in the UK, strengths on this flavour are capped at 20mg/ml, and it is intended for adults over 18 only.

Double Apple Rainbow Frozen Apple: Quick Questions

Is this flavour very sweet?

It sits on the sweeter side of the apple category thanks to the rainbow candy layer, though the icy finish and the tart green apple note stop it from feeling one dimensional or cloying.

Does it actually taste like shisha double apple?

The base is recognisably built on that classic two apple combination, but the candy and ice layers push it further towards a dessert or sherbet style flavour than a straight hookah tribute.

How strong is the cooling effect?

It is noticeable on both the inhale and exhale without being an intense menthol hit, more of a light frost that keeps the flavour feeling fresh across a full pod.
