How To Refill the Hayati Pro Ultra
A clear UK 2026 step-by-step guide to refilling the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus prefilled pod kit: pod swap, priming the coil and how to avoid burnt taste or leaks.
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus uses a sealed prefilled pod kit, not a bottle-fill refillable. To “refill” you remove the empty pod and click in a fresh one. Wait 2 minutes for the coil to prime before vaping.
DIY refilling with bottled e-liquid is not recommended. Leaks, burnt coils and warranty loss are typical outcomes. Pod swap is the right path.

The Hayati Pro Ultra: sealed prefilled pod, not a true refillable
The Hayati Pro Ultra range is a sealed prefilled pod kit system, not a refillable kit in the traditional bottle-and-tank sense. Each pod comes preloaded from the factory with 20mg/ml nicotine salt e-liquid, a built-in mesh coil and cotton wick, and a fixed pod design that is not intended to be opened. When the e-liquid runs out, the pod is replaced with a fresh one rather than topped up with bottled e-liquid.
The Hayati Pro Ultra family includes the Pro Ultra 15K (15000 puffs, 550mAh rechargeable battery, 2x12ml prefilled e-liquid), the Pro Ultra Plus 25K (25000 puffs across a sealed prefilled pod system) and the Pro Ultra Plus Shisha 30K (30000 puffs, 900mAh battery, dual-flavour twist mechanism). All three use the same pod-replacement principle: device body stays with you, pods get swapped.
A typical Pro Ultra Plus 25K kit retails at around £12.99, much cheaper per puff than buying daily disposables. Each refill pack typically includes a 2ml pod and a 10ml refill container, both TPD-compliant at 20mg/ml nicotine salt. The dual-flavour twist mechanism on the Shisha 30K lets you switch between two prefilled flavours by twisting the body of the device, without opening anything.
How to replace a Hayati Pro Ultra pod step by step
Step 1: When flavour fades or vapour weakens, lift the empty pod straight out of the device. The Pro Ultra uses strong internal magnets, so it releases with a firm pull, no twisting needed. Step 2: Remove a fresh pod from the official Hayati refill pack and check it has not been tampered with. Step 3: Line up the new pod with the magnetic pod mount inside the device. Press down until it clicks into place. The magnetic connection ensures a secure electrical and air seal. Step 4: Wait approximately 2 minutes for the cotton wick and mesh coil to fully saturate with e-liquid. Step 5: Take a couple of gentle priming puffs, then vape normally. The device is draw-activated, so just inhale.
Why DIY refilling does not work on the Hayati Pro Ultra
Three reasons. First, the pod is a sealed unit with no fill port, so any “refill” requires prying the casing open which damages the seal. Second, the cotton wick and mesh coil are sized for one factory fill and degrade after 1-2 manual top-ups, producing a burnt taste. Third, leaked e-liquid can reach the battery contacts and cause shorts, overheating or device failure. Hayati explicitly does not support manual refilling and any attempt voids the warranty. The official pod swap method is faster, cleaner and cheaper than the DIY route.
When to know your Hayati Pro Ultra pod is empty
Three signals in order. First, flavour starts to fade in the last 5-10% of the pod life. The mesh coil delivers consistent flavour through most of the pod, then taste weakens noticeably toward the end. Second, vapour gets thinner: noticeably less cloud, weaker draw sensation. Third, the device may stop firing entirely. The transparent pod design on the Pro Ultra Plus makes it easy to check the e-liquid level visually. If the chamber looks dry or near-empty, swap the pod. Keep spare pods on hand to avoid being caught short.
Pod swap, not bottle fill
Remove empty sealed pod, click in fresh pod. Magnetic mount holds securely. No tools, no bottles, no spills.
2 minutes for coil priming
After swap, allow the wick and coil to saturate before vaping. Skipping this causes burnt taste on the first puff.
DIY bottle refilling
Sealed pod design means prying voids warranty, damages coil, risks leaks and burnt taste. Pod swap is the only supported method.
Use Hayati-branded refill pods
Counterfeit pods leak, taste burnt and may exceed TPD limits. Verify packaging and buy from a registered UK retailer.
When something goes wrong after a pod swap
In our Omagh and Strabane stores, three or four issues come up repeatedly after a Hayati Pro Ultra pod swap. Here is the practical troubleshooting we walk customers through, in order of probability.
Burnt taste from the first puff
You did not wait long enough. Remove the pod, wait another 5 minutes, then try gentle puffs. If still burnt, the coil may already be damaged.
Weak or no vapour
Check the pod is clicked all the way in. Wipe contacts at the base with a dry cloth. Ensure the device battery is charged.
Pod feels loose or leaky
Magnetic connection may not be seated. Remove, wipe everything dry, press the new pod firmly until it clicks. If it persists, the pod may be faulty.
Device gets warm or stays hot
Stop using it. Unplug from charge if charging. Let it cool. Persistent heat or strange smell indicates a battery fault. Take to us for a check.
