Since the UK disposable vape ban took effect in June 2025, the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 and the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 have become two of the most popular prefilled pod kits in the country. Both are rechargeable. Both are TPD compliant. Both deliver consistent flavour. But they serve very different vapers.
I've been working with Hayati products since the brand launched in the UK, and I've tested both devices extensively. I've also spent hours on Planet of the Vapes, Reddit, and Quora, reading what real users are asking. The most common question by a mile: "Which one should I buy — the Pro Max Plus or the Pro Ultra Plus?"
This guide gives you the answer. I've compared everything: real-world puff counts, battery life, flavour systems, portability, cost per puff, and the types of vapers each device suits best. No marketing fluff — just the facts you need to make the right choice.

Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 — The Daily Workhorse
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 is the device that replaced the original Pro Max — which was already one of the best‑selling Hayati products. The "Plus" upgrade brought a better mesh coil, a smart display, and improved battery management.
This is a single‑flavour pod system. Each pod contains one flavour, and when it runs out, you replace it. It's simple, effective, and the smaller size makes it genuinely pocketable — you can carry it comfortably without even noticing it's there.
Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 — Key Facts
- Up to 6,000 puffs (4,500–5,800 in real‑world use)
- 850mAh battery — lasts 1–3 days depending on use
- 12ml total e‑liquid (2ml pod + 10ml auto‑refill)
- Single flavour per pod
- Normal & Eco modes — Eco extends battery life
- LED display — shows battery level only
- £7.99 kit / £5.49 pods
Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 — The Long‑Distance Champion
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 is the bigger, more premium sibling. It was launched after the disposable ban as a direct replacement for heavy users who were getting through 600‑puff disposables multiple times a day.
The standout feature is the dual‑flavour twist system. Each pod contains two separate e‑liquid tanks — you can switch between flavours simply by twisting the mouthpiece. This isn't a gimmick; it genuinely changes how you vape, especially if you like variety throughout the day.
Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 — Key Facts
- Up to 25,000 puffs (18,000–22,000 in real‑world use)
- 850mAh battery — some sources claim 1250mAh, but 850mAh is accurate
- 22ml total e‑liquid (2ml pod + 2×10ml auto‑refill)
- Dual‑flavour twist system — two flavours per pod
- Smart LED display — shows puff count, battery level, active flavour side
- £11.99 kit / £7.99 pods
Puff Count Comparison — The Real Numbers
The claimed puff counts are 6,000 and 25,000. But real‑world usage rarely matches the marketing numbers. Based on my own testing and feedback from hundreds of users:
| Usage Level | Pro Max Plus 6000 | Pro Ultra Plus 25000 |
|---|---|---|
| Light (600‑1000 puffs/day) | 5‑7 days per pod | 20‑30 days per kit |
| Moderate (1200‑1500/day) | 3‑5 days per pod | 14‑21 days per kit |
| Heavy (1800‑2500/day) | 2‑3 days per pod | 7‑12 days per kit |
Key takeaway: The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus lasts roughly four times longer per kit than the Pro Max Plus. If you're a heavy vaper, that difference is significant — fewer pod changes, less frequent orders, and a genuinely noticeable reduction in hassle.
Battery Life — More Similar Than You'd Think
Both devices use an 850mAh battery. Some resellers claim the Ultra Plus has a 1250mAh battery, but the official Hayati specification is 850mAh for both. After testing and cross‑referencing with multiple authorised UK retailers, the 850mAh figure is accurate for both devices.
However, the Ultra Plus uses more power per puff because it has to heat a larger coil assembly for the dual‑flavour system. So even though the battery capacity is the same, the Pro Max Plus will generally last slightly longer between charges, especially if you're using it heavily.
💡 Expert Tip
If battery life is your primary concern, the Pro Max Plus in Eco mode gives you the longest runtime. The Ultra Plus doesn't have an Eco mode, so it's less efficient. However, the Ultra Plus is designed to be used more heavily, so the battery runtime is proportional to the usage. You'll need to charge it more often, but it's delivering far more puffs per charge.
Flavour System — This Is the Big Difference
This is the most significant difference between the two devices:
- Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000: Single flavour per pod. You buy a pod, you vape that flavour until it's empty, and then you replace it. Simple, straightforward, no complexity.
- Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000: Dual‑flavour twist system. Each pod contains two separate e‑liquid tanks. You switch between them by twisting the mouthpiece 180 degrees. The display shows which side is active.
If you're someone who gets bored with a single flavour after a few hours, the Ultra Plus is a genuinely useful upgrade. You can keep two complementary flavours ready — something sharp and citrusy in the morning, something sweeter in the afternoon — without carrying two devices.
Hayati has released over 30 different dual‑flavour combinations for the Ultra Plus, covering everything from fruit and ice to berry medleys, tropical blends, and candy profiles. The Pro Max Plus has a similar range of flavours, but they're single‑flavour only.

Design, Size, and Portability
The Pro Max Plus is noticeably smaller and lighter. At 28 × 124.7 × 28mm and ~85g, it fits comfortably in any pocket without weighing you down. If you're someone who carries your vape everywhere, this is a real advantage.
The Ultra Plus is larger — 53.3 × 107 × 29.3mm and ~93g. It's still pocketable, but you'll definitely notice it's there. The extra size is necessary to accommodate the dual‑tank pod system, but it does make the device less discreet.
✅ Pro Max Plus 6000 — Portable Winner
- Smaller footprint — fits any pocket
- Lighter — ~85g vs ~93g
- More discreet — easier to use in public
- Ideal for: On‑the‑go vapers, discreet users
✅ Pro Ultra Plus 25000 — Feature Winner
- Larger but more capable — dual‑flavour system
- Better display — shows puff count + active side
- More premium feel — larger metal body
- Ideal for: Home vapers, flavour‑switchers
Cost Analysis — Which Is Better Value?
At first glance, the Pro Max Plus looks cheaper — £7.99 for the kit, compared to £11.99 for the Ultra Plus. But you need to factor in running costs. The Ultra Plus delivers roughly four times more puffs per pod, so the cost per puff is significantly lower:
| Metric | Pro Max Plus 6000 | Pro Ultra Plus 25000 |
|---|---|---|
| Kit Price | £7.99 | £11.99 |
| Pod Price | £5.49 | £7.99 |
| Puffs Per Pod | 6,000 (claimed) | 25,000 (claimed) |
| Cost Per 1000 Puffs | ~£0.92 | ~£0.32 |
| Cost Per Year (moderate user) | ~£140 | ~£90 |
| Vs Disposables (600 puffs) | ~75% cheaper | ~85% cheaper |
Key takeaway: The Ultra Plus is cheaper per puff in the long run. If you're a heavy user, the higher upfront cost of the Ultra Plus is quickly offset by the lower running costs. For light to moderate users, the Pro Max Plus is more than adequate.
Real‑World User Issues — What People Are Saying
From forums like Planet of the Vapes, Reddit, and Quora, and troubleshooting guides from Ecigone and OrderVape, here are the most common issues and how the two devices compare:
| Issue | Pro Max Plus 6000 | Pro Ultra Plus 25000 |
|---|---|---|
| Burnt taste | Common if not primed. Easy to fix with proper priming. | Same issue, same fix. But more frustrating because you lose 25K puffs vs 6K. |
| Not firing | Usually pod seating or dirty contacts. | Same cause. The larger pod can sometimes be harder to seat correctly. |
| Leaking | Rare. Usually from heat or damaged seals. | Slightly more common due to the dual‑tank system. Keep upright and avoid heat. |
| Weak vapour | Low battery or pod near empty. | Same cause. Check battery and liquid levels. |
| Auto‑draw failure | Moisture in sensor. Usually resolves after drying. | Same issue. The larger pod can trap more moisture. |
Key takeaway: Both devices share the same basic issues because they use similar technology. The Ultra Plus has slightly more potential for leaks due to the dual‑tank system, but the difference is marginal with genuine Hayati pods.

Q. Which Hayati device has more puffs — Pro Max Plus or Pro Ultra Plus?
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 has significantly more puffs — 25,000 claimed vs 6,000 on the Pro Max Plus. In real‑world use, the Ultra Plus delivers around 18,000‑22,000 puffs, while the Pro Max Plus delivers 4,500‑5,800. If puff count is your priority, the Ultra Plus is the clear winner.
Q. Is the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 worth the extra money?
It depends on your usage. The Ultra Plus costs £4 more upfront and £2.50 more per pod, but delivers roughly four times more puffs. If you're a heavy vaper, the lower cost per puff means the Ultra Plus actually saves you money in the long run. If you're a light to moderate vaper, the Pro Max Plus is more than adequate.
Q. What's the dual‑flavour twist system on the Pro Ultra Plus?
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus has two separate e‑liquid tanks inside each pod. You switch between them by twisting the mouthpiece 180 degrees. The display shows which side is active. This means you get two flavours in a single pod, and you can switch between them instantly — no need to carry multiple devices or pods.
Q. Which device has better battery life?
Both devices use an 850mAh battery. However, the Pro Max Plus has an Eco mode that extends battery life, while the Ultra Plus does not. The Ultra Plus also uses more power per puff because of the dual‑flavour system. For pure battery runtime, the Pro Max Plus in Eco mode lasts longer, but the Ultra Plus is designed to be used more heavily, so the battery runtime is proportional to the usage.
Q. Can I use Hayati Pro Max Plus pods in the Pro Ultra Plus device?
No. The pods are designed exclusively for their respective devices. Pro Max Plus pods will not fit the Ultra Plus device, and Ultra Plus pods will not fit the Pro Max Plus device. Always check your device model before ordering replacement pods.
Q. Which device is better for heavy vapers?
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 is better for heavy vapers. The 22ml capacity means far fewer pod changes, and the dual‑flavour system gives you variety without carrying multiple devices. The lower cost per puff also adds up to significant savings for heavy users.
Q. Which device is better for beginners?
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 is better for beginners. It's simpler, smaller, cheaper, and the single‑flavour system is easy to understand. The Ultra Plus has more features (dual‑flavour twist, smart display) which could be overwhelming for someone new to vaping.
Q. Do both devices use the same nicotine strength?
Yes, both devices use 20mg (2%) nicotine salt e‑liquid — the legal maximum in the UK. There are no 10mg or 0mg options for either device.
Q. Are both devices TPD compliant?
Yes. Both the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 and the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 are fully UK TPD compliant and MHRA registered. The 2ml pod capacity and 20mg/ml nicotine limit are within legal UK limits.
Q. Which device is more pocketable?
The Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 is significantly more pocketable. It's smaller (28 × 124.7 × 28mm vs 53.3 × 107 × 29.3mm) and lighter (~85g vs ~93g). If you carry your vape everywhere and want it to be discreet, the Pro Max Plus is the better choice.
Q. Do both devices have the same flavour range?
The flavour ranges overlap significantly, but the Ultra Plus has an exclusive range of dual‑flavour combinations that aren't available on the Pro Max Plus. The Pro Max Plus has over 46 single‑flavour options, while the Ultra Plus has over 30 dual‑flavour combos. Both have plenty of choice.
Q. Which device is better for flavour?
Both devices use high‑quality mesh coils and 20mg nic salt e‑liquid, so flavour quality is excellent on both. However, the Ultra Plus offers more variety because of the dual‑flavour system. If you like switching flavours without carrying extra pods, the Ultra Plus wins. If you prefer one flavour at a time, the Pro Max Plus is perfectly capable.
Q. Which device is more reliable?
Both devices are reliable when used with genuine Hayati pods. The Pro Max Plus has a slight advantage because it's simpler — fewer parts, fewer potential failure points. The Ultra Plus has more components (dual‑tank system, twist mechanism), which adds complexity. But with proper care, both devices will serve you well for a long time.
Q. Where can I buy these devices in the UK?
You can buy both devices and their replacement pods at Vape Online Store — a trusted UK retailer with a 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating and free next‑day delivery on orders over £40. Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 and Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 are both in stock with bundle deals available.
Final Verdict — Which One Should You Buy?
After comparing both devices side‑by‑side, testing them extensively, and analysing feedback from hundreds of real users, the answer comes down to one question: how do you vape?
✅ Choose the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 If:
- You're a light to moderate vaper (under 1500 puffs/day)
- You want a compact, discreet device you can carry anywhere
- You're switching from disposables and want something simple
- You're on a tighter budget and want the best value for money
- You don't need dual flavours — one flavour at a time is fine
✅ Choose the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25000 If:
- You're a heavy vaper (over 1500 puffs/day)
- You get bored with one flavour and want to switch throughout the day
- You want the lowest cost per puff and maximum longevity
- You're tired of carrying multiple devices for different flavours
- You want a smart display with puff count and battery info
Both devices are excellent choices — they're well‑built, deliver great flavour, and are backed by Hayati's reputation. The right choice depends entirely on your vaping habits.
If you're still unsure, I'd recommend starting with the Hayati Pro Max Plus — it's cheaper, simpler, and if you find yourself wanting more puff capacity or dual flavours, you can always upgrade to the Ultra Plus later. Many vapers do exactly that, and they appreciate the Pro Max Plus as a backup device.
