Hayati Pro Max Plus vs Pro Ultra Plus: Which Should You Buy?
These are the two ranges most people are choosing between. They are not simply a small one and a big one — they suit different habits, and the cheaper device is the better buy for a good number of people.
Side by side
| Pro Max Plus | Pro Ultra Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Device rating | 6000 puffs | 25000 puffs |
| Kit price | £7.99 | £11.99 |
| Pod price | £5.49 (3 for £15) | £7.99 (3 for £21) |
| Flavours we stock | 60 | 41 |
| Dual-flavour pods | No | Yes |
| Pod capacity | 2ml (UK limit) | 2ml (UK limit) |
The puff ratings are not what they look like
25000 against 6000 sounds like four times the device. It is not four times the pod — both are capped at 2ml by UK law, so both give roughly 600 to 800 puffs per pod. The difference is how long the device is rated to last across pods before the battery gives up.
In practice this means you are choosing a battery lifespan, not a vaping session length. You change pods just as often on either.
Running cost is where they actually differ
Pods are the recurring cost, and the Pro Max Plus is meaningfully cheaper:
- Pro Max Plus — £15 for three pods, so £5.00 each on the multibuy
- Pro Ultra Plus — £21 for three pods, so £7.00 each
At a pod every four days that is roughly £38 a year more to run the Pro Ultra Plus. Worth knowing before the higher puff count decides it for you.
How the flavour reads
The Pro Ultra Plus holds more liquid and uses a different coil, and the same flavour name tends to come through smoother and slightly less sharp than in the Pro Max Plus. Neither is better — it is a preference. If you like a bright, defined flavour, the Pro Max Plus generally suits. If you find some flavours too sharp, the Pro Ultra Plus softens them.
The Pro Ultra Plus also carries dual-flavour pods, which the Pro Max Plus does not. These pair two profiles that come through in sequence over the life of the pod rather than blending into one taste.
Which to buy
Pro Max Plus if you want the lower running cost, the widest flavour choice, or you are buying your first Hayati. At £7.99 for the kit it is also the cheaper mistake if you decide the brand is not for you.
Pro Ultra Plus if you want the longest device life before replacing the whole thing, prefer a softer flavour delivery, or want to try the dual-flavour pods.

What about the smaller ranges?
The Mini Ultra is the pocket option — smaller than either of these, at the cost of more frequent pod changes. The Pro Max S1 is smaller still and the cheapest way into the brand at £3.99. Both work better as a second device than as your only one.
These products contain nicotine, which is addictive. Over-18s only.
Common questions
Which is better, the Hayati Pro Max Plus or the Pro Ultra Plus?
The Pro Max Plus suits most people — it is cheaper to run, has the widest flavour choice, and the kit costs less. The Pro Ultra Plus is worth it if you want the longest device life before replacing the whole thing, prefer a softer flavour delivery, or want the dual-flavour pods.
Is 25000 puffs really four times 6000 puffs?
Not in the way it sounds. Both use 2ml pods because that is the UK legal cap, so both give roughly 600 to 800 puffs per pod. The difference is how long the device itself is rated to last across pods, not how long a pod lasts.
Which is cheaper to run?
The Pro Max Plus. Its pods are £5.49, or three for £15, against £7.99 or three for £21 for the Pro Ultra Plus. At a pod every four days that is roughly £38 a year less.
