Hayati E-Liquid: Nic Salts vs Shortfills, Which Do You Need?

By M.Abdullah, Vapes Bar — last updated 14 September 2026

Search "Hayati e-liquid" and most of what comes back is a flavour list, genuinely useful once you know which bottle you're supposed to be buying, less useful before that. Hayati actually sells three distinct e-liquid formats, built for different devices, and picking the wrong one is the most common reason people end up disappointed with a bottle that tasted fine in someone else's review.

The Short Version

Why Hayati Makes Three Different Versions

Hayati built its reputation on disposable vapes, and both e-liquid ranges exist to let people keep those flavours after switching to a refillable device. The catch is that "refillable device" covers a lot of ground, a compact MTL pod kit and a sub-ohm cloud-chasing tank need genuinely different e-liquid to perform properly, which is why Hayati didn't just release one bottle and call it done.

Hayati Nic Salt E-Liquid (10ml)

This is the pre-mixed, ready-to-vape option: 10ml bottles at 10mg or 20mg nicotine strength, 50/50 VG/PG, built specifically for MTL pod kits and starter kits. Nic salts use a modified nicotine structure (typically with benzoic acid added to lower the pH) that delivers nicotine faster and more smoothly than standard freebase, even at higher strengths, which is why 20mg nic salts don't feel as harsh as 20mg freebase would. Flavours span the same fruit, drink, and menthol profiles Hayati's disposables were known for, including Fresh Mint and Juicy Peach. One 10ml bottle typically lasts a similar-strength vaper three to five days of regular MTL use.

Choose this if: you want a simple, ready-to-use bottle for a pod kit or starter device and don't want to think about mixing your own nicotine strength.

Hayati Shortfill E-Liquid, 50/50 (100ml)

This comes nicotine-free in a 120ml bottle with 100ml of e-liquid, leaving room to add up to two 10ml nic salt shots yourself to reach your preferred strength. The 50/50 ratio keeps it usable on MTL devices and higher-resistance pod coils (generally 0.6Ω and above), so if you want the cost savings of buying in bulk without switching to a sub-ohm setup, this sits in the middle ground between the Nic Salt range and the 70/30 Shortfill.

Choose this if: you go through e-liquid quickly, want to control your own nicotine strength, but you're still using an MTL-style device rather than a sub-ohm tank.

Hayati Shortfill E-Liquid, 70/30 (100ml)

Also nicotine-free, also a 100ml fill in a 120ml bottle, but built with a higher VG ratio specifically for sub-ohm tanks and high-power pod mods (generally 0.6Ω and below). More VG means thicker vapour and denser clouds, at the cost of not working well on tight-draw MTL devices, so this isn't the bottle to pick if your device is a small pod kit.

Choose this if: you're running a sub-ohm tank or a higher-wattage device and want maximum vapour production.

Which One Actually Matches Your Device?

The single biggest mistake people make with any of these three is buying based on flavour name alone without checking the device match first. A 70/30 shortfill in a tight MTL pod will feel wrong, muted flavour, possible leaking, poor wicking. A 50/50 nic salt run through a sub-ohm tank at high wattage will feel unpleasantly harsh. If you're not sure which draw style your device is actually built for, our MTL vs DTL vaping guide covers the difference, and matching that to the table above will point you to the right Hayati format.

Do the Flavours Match Across Formats?

Largely, yes, Hayati's flavour development spans both the Nic Salt and Shortfill ranges, so a flavour you liked on a disposable is often available in more than one format. Strawberry Raspberry Ice and Blueberry Raspberry are examples that show up across the range. If you've already found a Hayati flavour you like as a pod, checking whether it's also available as a nic salt or shortfill is worth doing before assuming you need to try something new.

FAQs

What's the difference between Hayati Nic Salts and Hayati Shortfills?

Nic Salts come pre-mixed with nicotine (10mg or 20mg) in 10ml bottles for MTL pod kits. Shortfills are 100ml nicotine-free bottles you add your own nic salt shots to, available in a 50/50 ratio for MTL-friendly devices or a 70/30 ratio for sub-ohm tanks.

Can I use Hayati Shortfill 70/30 in a pod kit?

Not recommended. The higher VG ratio is built for sub-ohm tanks and high-power devices, and using it in a tight MTL pod kit typically gives muted flavour and can cause leaking or poor wicking.

How long does a 10ml Hayati Nic Salt bottle last?

Around three to five days for a regular MTL vaper, roughly equivalent to five standard 600-puff disposables in terms of use.

Do Hayati Shortfills contain nicotine?

No, they're sold nicotine-free. You add your own nicotine shots, typically up to two 10ml shots per 100ml bottle, to reach your preferred strength.

Is Hayati Nic Salt e-liquid suitable for sub-ohm vaping?

No. It's a 50/50 VG/PG formula built for low-wattage MTL pod kits and starter kits, not high-power sub-ohm tanks.
