Hyola Ultra 30K Refill Packs – Berry Edition

Berry Edition on the Hyola Ultra 30K: no ice, no rush, just fruit

Everything else worth knowing about this refill pack's flavour starts with one distinction: Berry Edition doesn't lean on a menthol finish to make its point. Where a lot of high-puff refill packs reach for an icy exhale to keep things feeling "fresh," this one stays warm and fruit-forward from the first draw to the last, and that single choice changes almost everything about how it behaves.

Top note: the first draw

The opening is jammy rather than sharp - closer to warmed berry compote than the sherbet-bright berry flavours common on ice-led vapes. Blackberry and blueberry tend to lead, rounded and a little deep, without the tartness that a straight raspberry or cranberry flavour would bring. There's sweetness here, but it reads as ripe fruit sweetness rather than confectionery sugar, which is a meaningfully different experience from a lot of berry vapes on the market.

Heart note: settling in

A few draws in, the blend opens up and a lighter, slightly tarter berry note - more raspberry than blackberry - starts to show through underneath the initial jamminess. This is the most layered part of the flavour: instead of one dominant berry doing all the talking, you get a sense of several fruits sitting alongside each other, none of them fighting for the lead. It's a flavour that rewards a slower draw, since that's what gives the different berry notes room to separate out rather than blurring into one generic "berry" taste.

Finish: what's left behind

Because there's no menthol cutting through it, the exhale is soft and lingers a little - a warm, fruity aftertaste rather than a clean icy reset. Some vapers find that comforting; if you're someone who relies on an icy finish to signal "that puff's done," this will feel different, and possibly a touch heavier, though never sickly. It's a flavour that sits with you rather than clearing out immediately, which is worth knowing going in.

Who this flavour suits

• Anyone who finds icy or menthol-led vapes a bit harsh, and wants a fruit flavour that stays fruit from start to finish.
• People who prefer richer, deeper fruit profiles - blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry - over brighter citrus or tropical notes.
• Evening and wind-down use, where a warmer, lingering flavour suits the mood better than a sharp, wake-you-up cooling hit.
• Cooler months in particular, since without the icy exhale this flavour doesn't rely on contrast with a hot day the way most "ice" flavours quietly do.

How it compares, and what to rotate it with

Set next to an ice-suffixed berry flavour, Berry Edition is rounder and less immediately punchy - there's no cold hit to grab your attention on the exhale, so the fruit has to carry the whole experience, and here it generally does. Compared with single-note fruit flavours like plain strawberry or plain blueberry, this one has more depth simply because it's working with several berries rather than one, which tends to keep it interesting for longer before it starts to feel repetitive.

That said, no flavour is immune to palate fatigue over a 30,000-puff pack, and a rich, jammy profile like this can feel slightly heavy if it's the only thing you're vaping for days on end. A few ways to keep it in rotation without wearing it out:

• Pair it with a genuinely icy or citrus flavour for daytime use, and keep Berry Edition specifically for evenings - the contrast makes both taste better.
• Use it after dinner rather than constantly through the day, since the lingering finish is more welcome when you're not immediately layering more flavour on top of it.
• If the jamminess starts to feel a bit much, a glass of water or a plain drink between sessions resets the palate faster than switching flavours does.

Getting the truest taste out of it

Slower draws matter more here than with most flavours, because the layered berry notes need a bit of time to separate rather than arriving all at once. Pulling too hard or too fast tends to flatten the blend into a single generic "berry" taste and loses the blackberry-to-raspberry progression that makes it interesting. As with any prefilled pod, keep spares upright and away from heat - warm storage dulls the deeper berry notes faster than it does brighter, sharper fruit flavours, so this one benefits more than most from being kept somewhere cool. Nicotine strength also plays into how the flavour reads: at the UK's 20mg/ml cap, the throat hit can slightly mute subtler notes for some vapers, so if you're finding the layers hard to pick apart, a lower-strength pod (where available) tends to let more of the detail through.

Frequently asked questions

Is Berry Edition an icy flavour like most other berry vapes?

No - this is a fruit-forward flavour without a menthol or ice finish. If you specifically want a cooling exhale, this isn't the pack for that; it's aimed at people who want the berry flavour itself to be the whole experience.

Which berries does Berry Edition actually taste like?

Expect a blend led by blackberry and blueberry, with a lighter, slightly tart raspberry note coming through as you get further into the draw. It reads as a mixed berry profile rather than any single fruit on its own.

Is this a good flavour to vape all day, or better in shorter sessions?

It works well across a full day, but because it's rich and doesn't reset the palate the way an ice flavour does, a lot of people find it suits evening use best, or rotating with something lighter earlier on. This product contains nicotine and is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
