Hayati has dominated the UK big-puff market for two years. Almost every new kit gets measured against it — and most lose.
The Hyola Ultra 30K is one of the few that genuinely gives Hayati a run for its money. Two pods loaded at once, a twist mouthpiece to switch between them, and a claimed 30,000 puffs at a price that undercuts the competition.
I've been running one daily for three weeks — twisting between both flavour chambers, timing the charges, and deliberately pushing it into the situations where these kits usually fall apart. Here's what holds up and what doesn't.
💡 The Short Answer
The Hyola Ultra 30K is one of the best value dual-flavour kits in the UK right now. Two flavour chambers, an 800mAh battery, a working LED display and around 20–24ml of 20mg nic salt for £10.99 is genuinely hard to argue with. The 30,000 puff figure is optimistic — reviewers consistently land at 18,000–28,000. The device is chunkier and heavier than single-flavour kits at around 119g. Airflow is fixed. Some users report pods leaking if they're stored carelessly. But if you want two flavours on tap without carrying two devices, this is the kit to buy.

⚠️ Two Spec Discrepancies Worth Knowing
Battery: Our product page lists 800mAh, and that's the figure most UK retailers use. One troubleshooting source oddly lists 1800mAh — that's almost certainly an error. Vape Connect's comparison notes that Hyola doesn't print the battery capacity officially, which is why figures vary.
E-liquid capacity: Some listings say 2 × 2ml pods + 2 × 10ml containers (24ml). Others, including our own product page, say 2 × 1ml pods + 2 × 9ml containers (20ml). Treat the total as around 20–24ml and you won't be disappointed either way.
How the Dual-Flavour Twist System Works
This is the feature that sells the device, so let's be precise about it.
Two complete pod-and-refill setups sit inside the device, one on each side. Each side has its own flavour and its own dual mesh coil.
To switch, you lift the mouthpiece and twist it 180 degrees. The device rotates internally so the other flavour chamber becomes active. Small windows on each side let you see which pod you're vaping.
No pod removal. No e-liquid on your fingers. No carrying a second device.
🔍 What Reviewers Confirm
Planet of the Vapes tested this specifically and confirmed the twist mechanism works cleanly, with each side holding its own distinct flavour and separate 9ml refill feeding a 1ml coil pod. Their testing also highlighted that the flavours stay separate — no bleed between chambers, even after weeks of switching.
Real-World Puff Count — The Honest Numbers
The 30,000 figure is a ceiling. Here's what reviewers actually got:
| Source | Real-World Puff Estimate |
|---|---|
| Vape Connect (4 weeks testing) | 25,000–28,000 |
| Vape360 (honest verdict) | 18,000–20,000 |
| Our product page estimate | 25,000–28,000 |
The variance comes down to draw length. Long, slow pulls use far more liquid per puff than short ones. Even at the conservative 18,000 end, that's 30 times a standard 600-puff disposable — the value still holds comfortably.
Battery Life — 800mAh, So Charge It Daily
The 800mAh cell is mid-pack for this category. The Bloody Bar 60K has 650mAh, the HQD Glow Air 70K has 850mAh, and the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus has 850mAh.
In real use: 1.5 days on heavy vaping, 2 days on moderate. That's the honest figure across multiple reviews. USB-C charging is quick, and the LED display shows battery level in real time so you're never guessing when to plug in.
One practical detail worth knowing — the USB-C port sits on the base so the device can charge standing upright. That's a small design choice that stops pods leaking while charging.

Setting Up the Hyola Ultra 30K — Step by Step
- Unbox: Device, two prefilled pods, two refill containers, manual. Note — a USB-C cable may not be included.
- Remove all seals: Peel off every silicone bung and protective sticker from both pods and both refill containers. Skipping this is the top cause of dry, burnt first draws.
- Push refills onto pods: Slide each refill container firmly onto its matching pod until it clicks.
- Insert both assembled units into their chambers on the device. They should seat securely with no wobble.
- Wait 2–3 minutes: Leave the device upright so the mesh coils fully saturate. This is non-negotiable.
- Vape: Draw-activated, no button. Twist the mouthpiece to switch flavours.
- Check the LED display for battery level, and charge via the base USB-C port standing upright.
✅ The Golden Rule
Prime for 2–3 minutes and store it upright. Those two habits prevent almost every burnt-hit and leaking complaint associated with this device.
Hyola Ultra 30K Problems — And How to Fix Them
No kit is flawless. These are the issues that actually come up, based on my testing and the detailed troubleshooting guides from Prefilled Vapes Outlet and Vapourcore.
1. Pods Leaking
The overwhelming majority of leaks come from an incompletely reseated fill bung or overfilling — not a faulty pod. Prefilled Vapes Outlet's testing is blunt about this: a genuine batch fault is possible but far less common than user error.
Fix: Reseat the fill bung fully until it clicks flush. Don't overfill. Store the device upright, and don't shake the pod vigorously with the bung not fully seated — that forces liquid out through the seal.
2. Burnt or Harsh Taste Appearing Suddenly
Almost always a dry coil from continuing to vape after the liquid ran out on that side.
Fix: Stop immediately. Refill from the matching bottle, rest the pod for 2–3 minutes, and try again. If it still tastes burnt, that chamber's coil is exhausted — switch to the other pod and replace the set when you next restock.
3. Flavour Tastes Weak But The Pod Isn't Empty
An unused chamber can taste temporarily weak simply from sitting idle while the other side was in use — with plenty of liquid still inside it.
Fix: Check the visible liquid level through the pod's clear casing before assuming it's empty. A few gentle draws usually brings the flavour back as the coil re-saturates.
4. Draining Too Fast
Chain-vaping faster than the auto-refill can feed the 1ml coil chamber.
Fix: Slow down between draws. The refill container needs a few seconds to top up the small coil chamber after each pull. Back-to-back lungfuls will outrun it every time.
5. Burnt Taste When Switching Between Pods
A pod that's been sitting unused can have a slightly dry wick.
Fix: Before switching back to a pod that hasn't been used in a few days, take two or three gentle draws without inhaling deeply. That primes the wick without scorching it.
Hyola Ultra 30K vs The Competition
| Feature | Hyola Ultra 30K | Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K | Bloody Bar 60K | Pyne Pod Click 50K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Puff Count | 30,000 claimed (18,000–28,000 real) | 25,000 claimed (18,000–22,000 real) | 60,000 claimed | 50,000 claimed (10,000–30,000 real) |
| Flavours | 2 pods (twist) | 2 pods (twist) | 4 flavours (twist) | 3 pods (swap) |
| E-Liquid | ~20–24ml | 24ml | 48ml | 36ml |
| Battery | 800mAh | 850mAh | 650mAh | 750mAh |
| Power Modes | Single output | Single output | Single output | Regular & Boost |
| Airflow | Fixed | Fixed | Fixed | Fixed |
| Price | £10.99 (3 for £30) | £11.99 (3 for £33) | £10.99 | £11.99 (3 for £33) |
| Refill Cost Per ml | ~35p | ~33p | ~23p | ~33p |
The short version: Vape Connect's head-to-head verdict is that the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K is the better buy for most people if flavour choice decides it — Hayati has around 50 options to Hyola's 30-ish, and a slightly lower cost per ml. But Hyola wins on rated puffs (30,000 vs 25,000) and lower upfront outlay on both the kit and the refill pack.
If you want maximum flavour variety, go Hayati. If you want the highest puff count and the lowest entry price, go Hyola. If you want four flavours live at once, the Bloody Bar 60K is the outlier pick.

Who Should Buy the Hyola Ultra 30K?
Buy it if:
- You want two flavours ready at once without carrying two devices
- You're an ex-smoker who wants a proper tight MTL draw
- You want the lowest upfront cost on a 30K-capacity kit
- You want a screen so you're not guessing battery levels
- You're happy with a slightly chunkier device in exchange for capacity
Skip it if:
- You want maximum flavour variety — Hayati has 50+ options
- You need adjustable airflow
- You want the lowest cost per ml on refills — Hayati and Bloody Bar both beat it
- You want four flavours live at once — get the Bloody Bar 60K
- You want real output control — the Pyne Pod Click 50K has Regular and Boost modes
Cost Per Week — The Numbers That Matter
At £10.99 for around 20–24ml, the Hyola Ultra 30K works out at roughly £0.0003–£0.0006 per puff. Even at the conservative end, that's dramatically cheaper than disposables.
Vape360's verdict puts it at "good value at £11.99 for a month or more of use at heavy vaping." A single kit realistically replaces 30–50 disposables over its lifespan, which is where the real savings kick in.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many puffs does the Hyola Ultra 30K actually deliver?
Realistically 18,000 to 28,000 puffs depending on your draw length. Vape Connect's four-week testing landed at 25,000–28,000; Vape360's more conservative estimate was 18,000–20,000. Either way, that's 30–46 times a standard 600-puff disposable.
Q. How does the dual-flavour system work?
Two complete pod-and-refill setups sit inside the device, one on each side. Each has its own flavour and its own dual mesh coil. To switch, lift the mouthpiece and twist it 180 degrees — the device rotates internally so the other chamber becomes active. No pod removal needed.
Q. Is the Hyola Ultra 30K a tight MTL vape?
Yes. It's a proper mouth-to-lung draw with fixed airflow — tight and cigarette-like, which suits ex-smokers perfectly. Note that airflow cannot be adjusted.
Q. Why are my Hyola Ultra 30K pods leaking?
Almost always because the fill bung wasn't reseated fully, or the pod was overfilled. Prefilled Vapes Outlet's testing found the majority of leaks trace back to user handling rather than a manufacturing fault. Reseat the bung until it's flush, don't overfill, and store the device upright.
Q. Why does my Hyola Ultra 30K taste burnt?
The coil has run dry on that side. Either you continued vaping after the liquid ran out, or the pod wasn't primed for the full 2–3 minutes before first use. Stop immediately, refill, rest the pod for 2–3 minutes, and try again. If the burnt taste persists, that chamber's coil is exhausted.
Q. Why does one flavour taste weak when I switch to it?
A chamber that's been sitting idle while the other side was in use can taste temporarily weak, even with plenty of liquid still inside. Check the visible liquid level through the pod's clear casing before assuming it's empty — a few gentle draws usually brings the flavour back.
Q. How long does the 800mAh battery last?
About 1.5 days of heavy vaping, stretching to 2 days at moderate use. USB-C charging is fast, and the LED display shows battery level so you're never caught out.
Q. Does the Hyola Ultra 30K come with a USB-C cable?
Not always. Planet of the Vapes specifically notes the cable isn't included in the pack. Check the box contents before travelling without a spare.
Q. Can I refill the pods with my own e-liquid?
No. This is a closed prefilled system. The pods are sealed and fed from the attached refill containers. You replace the pod set when it's finished rather than topping up from a bottle.
Q. Is the Hyola Ultra 30K better than the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K?
It depends what you prioritise. Hyola wins on rated puffs (30,000 vs 25,000) and lower upfront cost. Hayati wins on flavour variety (50+ options vs ~30) and a slightly lower refill cost per ml. If flavour choice matters most, go Hayati. If raw capacity and price matter most, go Hyola.
Q. Is the Hyola Ultra 30K legal in the UK?
Yes. It uses separate 2ml prefilled pods and 10ml refill containers — no single component exceeds the TPD limit. It's fully TPD compliant and legal to sell and use in the UK.
Q. Where can I buy replacement pods for the Hyola Ultra 30K?
Replacement pod packs cost £6.99 at Vape Online Store. Each pack contains two prefilled pods and two refill containers, giving you another full dual-flavour setup.
Final Verdict — Is the Hyola Ultra 30K Worth It?
After three weeks of daily use, the Hyola Ultra 30K has earned its place. The dual-flavour system isn't a gimmick — it genuinely changes how you vape, letting you rotate between two profiles without carrying a second device. The build quality feels premium, the LED display is genuinely useful, and the price is the best in its capacity bracket.
It's not perfect. The 30,000 puff claim is optimistic, the device is chunkier than single-flavour kits at 119g, airflow is fixed, and pods can leak if you're careless with them. But at £10.99 — or £10 on the 3-for-£30 deal — none of those flaws are dealbreakers.
If you want two flavours on tap, a tight cigarette-style draw, and the lowest upfront cost on a 30K kit, this is the one.
Verdict: 4.5/5 — The best value dual-flavour 30K kit in the UK right now.
