Hayati Pro Ultra Plus vs Hayati Pro Max Plus – What’s the difference?

Choosing your next pod vape kit is rarely straightforward, especially when you’re comparing two devices from the same brand that share a lot of DNA. If you asked me which one I’d pick between the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus and the Hayati Pro Max Plus, I’d have to say the Pro Ultra Plus – but only if you’re someone who goes through liquid fairly quickly, or just doesn’t want to think about pods for a long time.

For most vapers though, the Pro Max Plus is still an absolutely brilliant choice, and the right one for plenty of people.

I want to get into the specs, the day-to-day usability, and the differences that actually matter, because on paper these two look pretty similar. They’re not – and that £2 price gap is more meaningful than it might look at first glance.

Device Specifications

Here’s a breakdown of the specs to help you figure out which device might suit you best. We’ll go into more detail on each one below.

Hayati Pro Ultra Plus

The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus is where things get a bit more interesting. It’s essentially Hayati’s big swing at the high puff count market, packing in up to 25,000 puffs from a dual-flavour system that houses two 2ml pre-filled pods, each one backed by its own 10ml auto-refilling tank. That’s 24ml of e-liquid in total, which is a huge amount these days.

What sets the Pro Ultra Plus apart from most other big puff devices isn’t just the capacity – it’s the dual chamber setup. Each chamber has its own independent mesh coil, which means there’s no cross-contamination between flavours.

When you want to switch, you just twist the mouthpiece and you’re off. It’s a genuinely clever bit of design, and it works well in practice. For those who either get bored of one flavour or want a bit of variety throughout the day, it’s a real quality of life upgrade.

The 850mAh battery is the same as the Pro Max Plus, which is good to know – you’re not sacrificing battery life for the extra capacity. USB-C turbo charging keeps downtime short, typically around 40 to 60 minutes for a full charge. The LCD screen shows both battery level and which chamber you’re currently drawing from, which sounds like a small thing but you’d miss it if it wasn’t there.

In terms of form factor, it’s compact given what it’s packing, though like the Pro Max Plus it’s a touch wider than a traditional pen-style device. That’s the trade-off with big puff kits – you’re carrying a bit more, but for 25,000 puffs, most people would say that’s fair enough.

Hayati Pro Max Plus

The Hayati Pro Max Plus is, as I’ve said before in other comparisons, one of the best vapes I’ve tried at this price point. It’s a 6,000 puff device that uses a 2ml + 10ml auto-refill system, so the internal reservoir tops up the pod automatically. You just vape, and it sorts itself out.

The 1.2ohm mesh coil delivers a really consistent, smooth mouth-to-lung draw that’s tuned well for 20mg nic salts. The flavour holds up nicely from the first puff right through to the last – something that doesn’t always happen with devices in this price range, so it’s worth calling out. The 850mAh battery and USB-C fast charging mean you’re typically looking at 40 to 60 minutes from empty to full, same as the Ultra, which is perfectly reasonable.

Where the Pro Max Plus really wins is simplicity. There’s no twisting mouthpiece, no second chamber to think about – you just clip in your pod and vape. For someone who just wants a reliable, single flavour-forward device that’s easy to carry, it’s hard to beat.

The LCD screen shows battery and e-liquid level at a glance, so you’re never caught short. The pod range is huge too – over 50 flavours when you factor in both kits and replacement pods, which gives you a lot to explore without ever needing to change device.

Which is Right For You as a New Vaper?

If you’re new to vaping and trying to decide between these two, there are a few things worth thinking about before you just go for the one with the bigger puff count.

Both devices use 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid, which is suitable for moderate to heavier smokers – roughly equivalent to someone smoking 20 or more cigarettes a day. If you were a lighter smoker, you might find 20mg on the stronger side, though both devices are mouth-to-lung focused, which does temper the hit a little.

The main practical question is how much you vape in a day. If you’re getting through a fair amount and don’t want the hassle of changing pods regularly, the Pro Ultra Plus and its 25,000 puffs across two flavour chambers is a seriously compelling option.

If you’re more of a moderate vaper – or you’re just starting out and want something simple and a bit less of a commitment – the Pro Max Plus at £8.99 is a more sensible starting point. It’s easier to use, a little cheaper, and still gives you 6,000 puffs per kit.

Hayati Pro Ultra Plus vs Hayati Pro Max Plus

When it comes down to it, comparing these two is a bit like comparing a sports car to a sensible coupe – one has more under the bonnet, but the other gets you where you’re going just as comfortably and is probably the right choice for most people on most days.

The Pro Ultra Plus is clearly the more impressive device in terms of raw capability. Twice the e-liquid, a dual coil system, two flavour chambers, and up to 25,000 puffs is just objectively more device.

If you’re a heavier vaper or someone who gets restless with one flavour, the Pro Ultra Plus is worth the extra £2. The dual mesh coil setup also means you’ll arguably get cleaner, more distinct flavour from each chamber than you’d expect.

That said, the Pro Max Plus holds its own in ways that matter. It’s simpler to set up, slightly cheaper, and the 1.2ohm coil does an excellent job – the flavour is smooth and consistent throughout. For someone who’s happy with one flavour at a time and vapes at a moderate pace, the Pro Max Plus is probably the smarter pick. 6,000 puffs at a sensible usage rate will still last most people several days.

The specs they share – identical 850mAh battery, same USB-C charging, same nic salt e-liquid and nicotine strength, same draw-activated operation – mean the fundamentals of the vaping experience are pretty similar. The differences are mostly about longevity, flavour variety, and how much you want to invest upfront.

The verdict

Both are great kits. Honestly, you wouldn’t go wrong with either. But if you want my honest take – if you’ve already tried the Pro Max Plus and loved it, step up to the Pro Ultra Plus next time and see how you get on with the dual flavour system. I suspect most people who try it won’t go back.
