Best Hayati Pro Max flavours: every nic salt ranked
Only got a minute?
- Blue Razz Gummy Bear is the flavour to start with. Sweet, tangy and the closest match to the classic Hayati bar taste. It’s our top pick and the one most people reorder.
- Strawberry Raspberry Ice and Blueberry Raspberry are the safest all-day picks. Fruity, not too sweet, and easy to vape from morning to night.
- Fresh Mint is the best non-fruit option and a good palate reset if the sweet flavours start to blur.
- Every bottle is a 10ml 50/50 nic salt, made for mouth-to-lung pod kits. Choose 10mg if you’re a light or occasional vaper and 20mg if you smoked heavily.
- Buy before 1 October to beat the vape duty. From then every 10ml carries £2.20 of duty plus VAT, which is £2.64 on the shelf price.
What Hayati Pro Max nic salts actually are
Hayati made its name with the Pro Max bar, and the nic salt range exists so you can carry on vaping those flavours after the UK ban on disposable vapes on 1 June 2025. Each flavour comes in a 10ml bottle, which is the legal maximum for any liquid containing nicotine, at up to 20mg/ml, which is the legal maximum strength. The base is a 50/50 PG/VG mix, so it wicks properly in a small pod coil and gives a proper throat hit without harshness.
The nicotine is in salt form rather than freebase. That matters for two reasons. First, salts absorb faster, so a 20mg salt scratches a cigarette craving in a way a 20mg freebase liquid struggles to. Second, salts are smoother at high strength, which is why the whole range is sold at 10mg and 20mg rather than the 3mg and 6mg you’d see on a shortfill. If you’re unsure which strength suits you, the steps further down walk through it.
10ml nic salt
The core range. 50/50, 10mg or 20mg, and built for any refillable pod kit with a coil of 0.8Ω or higher. Browse all nic salts.
100ml shortfill
A handful of the best sellers also come as nicotine-free 100ml bottles you top up with nic shots. Covered in our Hayati 100ml guide.
How we ranked them
This ranking isn’t a poll. It’s based on what sells and, more importantly, what gets reordered, plus what the team here vapes. A flavour that gets bought once on the strength of its name and never again drops down the list. A flavour that people come back to month after month climbs it. We’ve also weighted towards all-day drinkability, because a nic salt you can only manage a few puffs of is a wasted bottle.
Three things run through the whole range and are worth knowing before you pick. Berries lead, and blue raspberry turns up in more flavours than any other single fruit. Ice is used as a finish rather than a main event, so even the “Ice” flavours are fruit first and cool second. And sweetness is high across the board. If you’ve come from tobacco liquids, expect the first bottle to taste like sweets. Most people adjust inside a day and then can’t go back.
The best Hayati Pro Max flavours, ranked
1. Blue Razz Gummy Bear
The flavour that defines the range. Blueberry and raspberry up front with a tart edge, then a thick gummy sweetness on the exhale that lingers. It’s the closest thing in a bottle to the Hayati bar most people switched from, which is exactly why it’s the best seller and the most reordered flavour we stock. It suits anyone coming off a blue raspberry big-puff kit, anyone who likes sweets-style liquids, and anyone who wants one bottle that does everything.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg. Also sold as a 100ml shortfill.
2. Strawberry Raspberry Ice
Juicy strawberry and sharp raspberry with a gentle cooling finish that never tips into toothpaste territory. It’s fruity but not overly sweet, which makes it the easiest flavour in the range to vape all day. If Blue Razz Gummy Bear is too much like sweets for you, this is the one. It also holds its flavour well as the coil ages, so you’re not chasing a fresh pod every few days.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg.
3. Blueberry Raspberry
The same berry pairing as our top pick but without the gummy candy layer. Sugary raspberry and blueberry on the inhale, light and tart, then a cooling menthol on the exhale. It’s the pick for people who find “blue razz” flavours artificial and who want a berry that finishes clean rather than sweet, and the Blueberry Cherry Cranberry 50/50 100ml is the nearest 100ml berry to move to once you know you’ll get through it.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg. Also sold as a 50/50 100ml shortfill, linked above.
4. Fresh Mint
A clean, cold mint with a hint of sweetness on the finish. No fruit, no candy, which makes it the best choice for ex-smokers of menthol cigarettes and for anyone who’s had enough of berries. It’s a strong seller in its own right and a very good second bottle to keep alongside a fruit flavour, because a few puffs of mint resets your palate when everything sweet starts tasting the same.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg. Also sold as a 50/50 100ml shortfill, currently listed as clearance stock.
5. Blue Razz Lemonade
Blue raspberry again, but this time in a fizzy lemonade base with a sharp citrus twist. The lemonade cuts through the sweetness, so it’s brighter and less sticky than Blue Razz Gummy Bear. This is the summer flavour of the range and the one to pick if you like drinks-style liquids over sweets-style ones. It’s on the tart side, so if you have a sensitive throat go for 10mg.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg.
6. H’ Bubba
Sweet strawberry on the inhale over classic chewy bubblegum on the exhale. It’s as nostalgic as it sounds and it retains its sweetness without becoming cloying, which is the trap most bubblegum liquids fall into. Not an all-day vape for most people, but a very popular treat bottle and a firm favourite with anyone who grew up on the chewing gum it’s named after.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg.
7. Lemon & Lime
Bold citrus with a tangy, zesty profile. It’s sharp but still smooth enough to vape regularly, and it’s the flavour in the range with the least sweetness, which makes it a good choice for people who find everything else on this list too sugary. Pairs well with a morning coffee. It’s a love-it-or-leave-it flavour, so buy one bottle before committing to more.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg.
8. Summer Dream
A soft tropical blend, slightly sweet and very balanced, with no single fruit shouting over the others. It’s the mellowest flavour in the range and a good choice if ice and sharp citrus both bother you. It ranks lower only because it’s less distinctive than the flavours above it; plenty of people vape nothing else.
10ml nic salt, 50/50 PG/VG, 10mg or 20mg.
Beyond these eight, the range runs to peach, banana ice, cherry cola, blue sour raspberry, strawberry watermelon and more. All of them follow the same 10ml, 50/50, 10mg or 20mg formula, so once you know which strength suits you, trying a new flavour is low risk. You can see the full line-up on the Hayati brand page linked below.

Which kit to vape them in
Hayati Pro Max nic salts are mouth-to-lung liquids. They want a low-power pod kit with a coil somewhere between 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω, a tight draw and a small pod. Put a 20mg salt through a sub-ohm tank and you’ll get a harsh, overpowering hit and a headache. Our guide to which pod kits work best with nic salts covers the kits we recommend in detail.
If you’d rather not refill at all, Hayati’s own prefilled pod kits use the same flavour library. The Hayati Pro Max+ 6000 prefilled pod kit is a rechargeable device with swappable 20mg pods, so you keep the battery and just replace the pod when it’s empty. It’s the legal, reusable replacement for the old disposable bar and the flavours map straight across. There are more options in the prefilled pod kits range linked below.
Refilling is cheaper per ml than prefilled pods, and it’s the only way to drop to 10mg, but prefilled pods win on convenience and never leak in a pocket. Plenty of people run both: a refillable kit at home and a prefilled one for nights out.
How to choose your first bottle
- 1
Start from what you vaped before. If you used a Hayati bar, buy the same flavour name in the nic salt. If you used a different brand’s blue raspberry, Blue Razz Gummy Bear is the nearest match. If you smoked menthol cigarettes, go straight to Fresh Mint.
- 2
Pick the strength by your old habit. A pack a day or more, or a heavy bar user, wants 20mg. Under ten a day, or someone who finds 20mg gives them a headache, wants 10mg. You can always mix the two in a pod to land at 15mg.
- 3
Buy two flavours, not one. Sweet nic salts cause flavour fatigue faster than tobacco liquids. A fruit bottle plus a mint or citrus bottle keeps both tasting fresh.
- 4
Change your pod or coil when you change flavour. Sweet liquids gunk coils quickly and a coil that’s had two weeks of Blue Razz Gummy Bear will make Fresh Mint taste of blue raspberry.
Hayati against the other big-puff brands
Hayati isn’t the only bar brand that moved into bottles. Bar Juice 5000, Elux, Lost Mary and IVG all sell nic salts built on their bar flavours, and the honest answer is that they’re closer to each other than any of them would like to admit. Where Hayati stands out is the depth of the blue raspberry and berry options and the strength of its candy flavours. Bar Juice 5000 leans more towards classic fruit and dessert profiles; Elux and IVG tend to run icier. Our wider guide to the top nic salts in the UK puts all of them side by side.
One practical note on cost. From 1 October the Vaping Products Duty adds £2.20 plus VAT to every 10ml bottle regardless of brand, so the gap between a premium salt and a budget one shrinks in percentage terms. Stock we hold before that date carries no duty and can be sold at the old price until 31 March 2027, so if you know your flavour, now is the time to buy a few.

Quick answers
What is the best Hayati Pro Max flavour?
Blue Razz Gummy Bear is the best seller and the most reordered flavour in the range. If you prefer something less sweet, Strawberry Raspberry Ice is the strongest all-day option.
Do Hayati nic salts taste the same as the Hayati bar?
Very close. The flavours are the same recipes, but a refillable pod kit runs at a slightly different power and coil, so expect small differences in sweetness and throat hit. Using the Hayati Pro Max+ prefilled pod kit gets you nearest to the original.
Should I buy 10mg or 20mg?
20mg if you were a heavy smoker or used 20mg bars. 10mg if you smoked lightly, vape often through the day, or find 20mg too strong. Both are 50/50 and work in the same kits.
Can I use Hayati Pro Max nic salts in a sub-ohm kit?
Not comfortably. They’re 50/50 liquids at high strength, made for mouth-to-lung pod kits with coils above 0.8Ω. In a sub-ohm tank the nicotine hit is too harsh. Use a shortfill with a nic shot for that kind of kit.
Are Hayati Pro Max nic salts affected by the vape tax?
Yes. From 1 October every 10ml bottle carries £2.20 of duty plus VAT, which is £2.64. Stock bought in before that date can be sold at the old price until 31 March 2027.
