1. Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K Not Firing (No Vapour on Inhale)

If your Hayati 30K isn’t producing vapour when you inhale, it’s one of the most common issues users experience. Even though this is a high-capacity prefilled shisha device, the same problems that affect other pod kits can also occur here. The good news? Most causes are simple and can be fixed in just a few minutes.

Why This Happens

Your device not firing or producing no vapour on inhale can be caused by:

• Flat battery
  A low battery doesn’t deliver enough power to heat the coil, even if the LED flickers.

• Pod not fully seated
  If the pod isn’t clicked in properly, the device can’t detect it — leading to no vapour.

• Blocked airflow sensor
  Dust, condensation, or liquid inside the airflow channel can stop the auto-draw sensor from activating.

• Dead or burnt coil
  The coil inside the pod may have burnt out or reached the end of its lifespan, making it impossible to generate vapour.

• Device at end-of-life
  If the battery or coil has reached its maximum usage or puff count, the device may simply stop working.

Step-by-Step Fix

Follow these steps to get your Hayati vape firing again:

1. Take gentle puffs
Hard pulls can overwhelm the airflow sensor. Try slow, steady inhales to activate the coil properly.

2. Clean the pod and device contacts
Remove the pod and wipe the gold contacts with a dry tissue.
E-liquid residue or dust can block the connection and prevent the device from firing.

3. Reinsert the pod firmly
Push the pod back into the device until it clicks into place.
A secure connection often solves the issue instantly.

4. Try a few short activation puffs
Small, controlled inhales can help reset the airflow sensor and get the device firing again.

5. If there is no LED response at all → the device may have failed
If the LED doesn’t light up and no vapour is produced after trying all steps, the device is likely at the end of its life or internally damaged.

2. Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K Not Charging

If your vape isn’t charging, it can feel frustrating — especially with a device that’s designed to last for thousands of puffs. Charging issues are very common with USB-C prefilled shisha vapes, and they’re usually caused by small, fixable problems rather than a major failure.

Before assuming the device is faulty, it’s worth checking a few simple things.

Common Causes

Here’s why your device not charging may happen:

• Faulty USB-C cable or plug
  Charging cables wear out over time, and some only provide low power. If the cable isn’t delivering enough output, the device won’t charge properly. Using cheap or very old phone chargers can also cause inconsistent charging.

• Dust or debris in the charging port
  Pocket lint, dust, or dried e-liquid can get inside the USB-C port. Even a tiny blockage can completely prevent the charger from connecting to the device’s battery.

• Over-discharged or damaged battery
  If the battery has run too low or suffered internal damage (from drops, heat, or age), it may not respond when you plug it in.

• Weak or incompatible power adapter
  Very low-power chargers (like old USB wall plugs or laptop ports) may not provide enough output for the device to begin charging.

How to Fix It

Try these steps one by one to get your Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K charging again:

1. Try a different USB-C cable and wall plug
Swap the cable AND the adapter.
A surprising number of charging problems come from a worn-out cable or weak power source.
Avoid laptop ports — always use a proper wall plug.

2. Clean the charging port gently
Use a dry cotton bud, toothpick, or soft brush to remove any dust or debris.
Make sure the port is completely dry before plugging in the charger again.

3. Leave the device on charge for 20–30 minutes
If the battery is over-discharged, it may take time before the LED lights up.
Let it sit undisturbed and then check if the LED appears.

4. If the device is still completely unresponsive → internal failure
No LED, no warmth, and no charging response usually means the battery or internal board has failed.
Since this is a prefilled shisha-style device, repairs aren’t possible — replacement is the safest fix.

3. Weak Vapour or Muted Flavour

If your Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K is giving off weak vapour, muted flavour, or generally feels less satisfying than before, don’t worry — this is a very common issue with high-capacity prefilled shisha vapes. Over time, small factors such as coil wear, airflow changes, or battery levels can noticeably impact performance.

The important thing to know is that most of these problems can be fixed quickly with a few simple checks.

Why It Happens

Here are the most common causes behind weak vapour or low flavour on the Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K:

• Low battery
  Even if the device still fires or the LED flashes, a low battery reduces coil power. This leads to thin vapour and dull flavour. Charging the device often restores full performance.

• Old coil / wick saturation
  As the pod ages, the coil and wick absorb residue from the e-liquid. This buildup weakens flavour and makes the vapour feel flat. This is normal for prefilled pod systems.

• Chain vaping overheating the coil
  Taking many puffs in a short period overheats the coil. When the coil gets too hot, the wick struggles to stay saturated, causing weak performance and sometimes even dry hits.

• Blocked airflow
  Dust, lint, or condensation in the mouthpiece or airflow channels can restrict air movement. This affects both flavour intensity and vapour thickness.

• Inhaling too hard or too softly
  The auto-draw sensor inside the device relies on airflow pressure.
  • Pulling too softly may not activate the coil.
  • Pulling too hard can flood the coil with liquid, reducing vapour production.

Step-by-Step Fix

Try these steps to restore strong vapour and clean flavour:

1. Fully charge the device
A weak battery is the number one cause of low vapour output.
Plug in your Hayati 30K and let it reach full charge before vaping again. You should notice an immediate improvement.

2. Clean the mouthpiece and airflow areas
Remove the pod and look for any signs of:

• condensation
• dust
• lint
• minor leaking

Wipe everything with a dry tissue or cotton swab.
A clean airflow path makes a big difference in vapour strength.

3. Take slow, spaced-out puffs
Give the coil 5–10 seconds between puffs so the wick can re-soak with liquid.
Slow, relaxed inhales activate the airflow sensor better and produce fuller clouds and flavour.

4. Replace the pod if the flavour stays dull
If the pod is old, nearly empty, or the coil has worn out, no amount of cleaning will restore its performance.
A fresh pod brings back the strong flavour and smooth vapour the Hayati 30K is known for.

4. Burnt or Harsh Taste

Getting a burnt or harsh taste from your Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K is one of the most unpleasant issues you can experience. Once the coil inside the pod burns, the flavour becomes scratchy, bitter, and dry — and unfortunately, it doesn’t go away on its own.
This problem is common with prefilled shisha pods, especially when the pod is nearly empty or used too frequently in a short time.

Here’s why it happens and how to prevent it in the future.

What Causes Burnt Hits

Your 30K may taste burnt because of:

• Burnt-out coil
  Over time, the coil naturally wears out. Once it’s burnt, the wick is permanently damaged, causing a strong burnt taste with every puff.

• Pod empty or low on liquid
  If the pod is running low, the cotton wick inside dries out. When the coil heats dry cotton, it burns instantly — causing harsh hits.

• Chain vaping without pauses
  Taking repeated puffs doesn’t give the wick enough time to re-soak with liquid. This leads to dry spots and eventually a burnt coil.

• Hard inhales pulling liquid off the coil
  Inhaling too forcefully can pull e-liquid away from the coil rather than into it, which dries the wick and increases the risk of burning.

How to Fix / Prevent Burnt Taste

Burnt taste cannot be reversed — but you can prevent it and avoid damaging future pods:

1. Stop using the burnt pod immediately
Continuing to vape on a burnt coil will only worsen the flavour and irritate your throat.

2. Replace the pod (burnt taste will not recover)
Once the coil burns, the wick inside is permanently damaged.
Switching to a fresh pod is the only reliable solution for the Shisha 30K.

3. Let new pods sit for a few minutes before vaping
After inserting a new pod, give it 3–5 minutes so the wick can fully absorb the e-liquid.
This helps prevent early dry hits and protects the coil from burning prematurely.

4. Take shorter puffs with a few seconds of pause
Allow 5–10 seconds between inhales.
This keeps the wick saturated and prevents overheating during chain vaping.

5. Leaking or Gurgling

If your Hayati 30000 is leaking, spitting, or making a gurgling sound, it’s a very common issue with prefilled shisha-style devices. While it can feel messy or annoying, most of the time it isn’t serious and can be fixed quickly.
Leaks usually happen when excess e-liquid or condensation collects inside the pod or airflow system, while gurgling occurs when too much liquid reaches the coil.

Let’s look at what causes it — and how to stop it.

Why It Happens

Your Hayati Pro may leak or gurgle because of:

• Condensation build-up
  Tiny droplets naturally form inside the chimney and mouthpiece during use. Over time, this moisture can create gurgling sounds or light leaking around the pod.

• Over-inhaling
  Pulling too hard forces excess liquid into the coil, flooding it. A flooded coil produces weak vapour, gurgling noises, and sometimes spits e-liquid into the mouthpiece.

• Pressure changes (heat, tight pockets)
  Leaving the device in a hot car, tight trousers, or warm areas can increase pressure inside the pod, pushing liquid out through the airflow holes.

• Faulty pod
  Although rare, some pods may come with loose seals or poorly seated coils, causing constant leakage from the start.

Easy Fixes

Try these quick methods to stop leaking or gurgling on your 30K vape:

1. Blow gently through the mouthpiece
Remove the pod and blow softly through the mouthpiece into a tissue.
This helps remove excess liquid trapped inside the coil and chimney.

2. Clean the contacts and the device chamber
Use a dry tissue or cotton bud to clean:

• the bottom of the pod

• the gold contacts

• the inside of the device where the pod sits

Removing e-liquid buildup restores proper airflow and prevents future leaks.

3. Store the device upright and avoid heat
Keeping the device standing upright stops liquid from pooling in the airflow system.
Also avoid hot places such as:

• cars
• pockets in warm weather
• direct sunlight

Heat thins the e-liquid, making leaks worse.

4. Replace the pod if the leak is heavy or continuous
If the pod leaks heavily or keeps flooding no matter what you do, it’s likely a faulty pod.
Replacing it is the simplest and most effective solution.

6. Pod Not Detected / LED Error Flashes

If your device is showing LED error flashes or the device says the pod is not detected, it usually means the device and pod aren’t making proper contact. This issue is extremely common with prefilled shisha and pod-style vapes, and most of the time it can be fixed within a few seconds.

LED flashes are your device’s way of telling you something is wrong — so let’s look at what causes it and how to fix it quickly.

Common Causes

Your Hayati Shisha 30000 may fail to detect a pod or flash its LED because of:

• Wet or dirty contacts
  Condensation or leaked e-liquid on the gold connectors stops the device from reading the pod correctly. Even a small drop of moisture is enough to trigger an error.

• Pod not fully clipped in
  The pod sometimes looks inserted but isn’t seated all the way down. This loose connection can cause the device to misfire or show flashing lights.

• Non-compatible pod
  Using a pod that isn’t designed for the vape can cause detection problems or prevent the coil from activating.

• Internal chipset error
  If the device’s internal electronics have been damaged (from impact, leaking, or age), it may flash the LED repeatedly and refuse to fire.

What to Do

Follow these steps to fix pod not detected and LED error issues:

1. Clean the gold contacts
Remove the pod and wipe the metal contacts on both the pod and inside the device.
Use a dry tissue, cotton bud, or microfiber cloth.
This simple step solves most detection issues instantly.

2. Reinsert the pod firmly
Push the pod down until it clicks into place.
A secure connection helps the device recognise the pod and stop flashing errors.

3. Try a new pod
If the device still flashes or doesn’t detect the pod, test a fresh one.
The original pod may have a faulty coil or damaged connector.

4. Flashing LED + no vapour = faulty device
If the LED keeps flashing even after trying multiple pods and cleaning the contacts, the device is likely faulty or at end-of-life.
Internal damage or a failed chipset cannot be repaired in a prefilled device.

7. Auto-Firing or Device Heating Up

If your Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K starts auto-firing (activating on its own) or becomes unusually hot, this is a serious issue and must be handled with caution. Unlike mild problems like weak vapour or blocked airflow, auto-firing can be dangerous, because the coil continues heating without control.
This can damage the device, burn the pod, and in rare cases become a safety hazard — so it’s important to act quickly and safely.

Safety First

If your vape starts firing by itself or heating up, stop using it immediately. Do not inhale from it or charge it until the issue is resolved.

Causes

Your Hayati might auto-fire or overheat due to:

• Stuck airflow sensor
  The device uses an auto-draw sensor to detect when you inhale. If this sensor becomes stuck, overly sensitive, or triggered by excess airflow, the vape may activate without you pulling on it.

• Internal short circuit
  E-liquid leaks, damaged wiring, or moisture inside the device can create a short circuit.
  This causes sudden firing, overheating, or LED warning flashes.

• Damage or faulty chip
  Dropping the device, general wear-and-tear, or internal manufacturing faults can damage the chip. When the chip malfunctions, it may fire uncontrollably or heat up rapidly.

Immediate Actions

For your safety, take these steps the moment you notice auto-firing or overheating:

1. Remove the pod
This stops the coil from heating any further and prevents the pod from burning or melting.
Removing the pod can instantly stop the auto-firing in some cases.

2. Place the device somewhere safe and non-flammable
Put it on a surface such as:

• a tiled floor

• a metal tray

• a countertop (away from fabrics)

Do not hold the device in your hand if it feels hot.

3. Do NOT charge the device
Charging a device that is malfunctioning or overheating can make the issue worse, and may cause further damage to the battery.

4. Safely dispose of or replace the device
Auto-firing indicates a failed chip or internal fault. Because the Shisha 30K is a sealed prefilled device, it cannot be repaired. Replacing it is the only safe option.

If your vape has auto-fired even once, it’s best to stop using it and choose a replacement. You can browse our selection of Hayati shisha vapes, new pods, and alternative prefilled kits to ensure you enjoy a safe, smooth, and reliable vaping experience.

8. Airflow Too Tight or Too Loose

If your Hayati vape suddenly feels too tight when you inhale or unusually loose and airy, it can affect both vapour production and flavour quality. Airflow plays a major role in how satisfying your vape feels, and even small changes inside the pod or device can make a noticeable difference.
The good news? Most airflow issues are minor and easy to fix.

Why This Happens

Your airflow may feel inconsistent for several simple reasons:

• Condensation or debris
  Moisture, tiny droplets of e-liquid, dust, or pocket lint can build up inside the mouthpiece or airflow channels. Even a small blockage can make the draw feel tighter than normal.

• Pod-to-pod airflow variation
  Prefilled pods are mass-produced, and small manufacturing differences can slightly change how much air passes through each pod.
  One pod may feel tight, while the next feels looser — this is normal for many pod-based and shisha-style vapes.

• User expectations from other devices
  If you recently switched from a disposable, vape kit, or another shisha-style device, the draw on the Hayati Pro Shisha ultra might feel different from what you’re used to. Some users prefer a tight MTL draw, while others like a smoother, airy pull.

How to Improve Airflow

Try these steps to fix or fine-tune the airflow on your Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K:

1. Clean the mouthpiece and airflow holes
Remove the pod and inspect the mouthpiece and airflow openings.
Wipe away condensation or debris with a dry tissue or cotton swab.
This alone can significantly improve airflow.

2. Avoid blocking airflow while holding the device
Make sure your fingers aren’t covering the airflow holes during use.
Even a partial obstruction can make the draw feel extremely tight.

3. Try a new pod
If airflow still feels off, switch to a fresh pod.
Some pods naturally feel tighter or looser due to minor manufacturing variations.
A new pod often restores the ideal draw.

4. Consider a device with adjustable airflow if airflow feels consistently wrong
If you prefer more control over airflow — tighter or looser — you may want a device with adjustable airflow settings.

9. Battery Draining Faster Than Expected

If your kit seems to lose battery more quickly than usual, it can feel frustrating — especially with a device designed for long-lasting performance. Even though this is a high-capacity prefilled shisha vape, battery life can still vary depending on how you use it, how long your puffs are, and the condition of the internal battery.

Before assuming something is wrong, it helps to understand what’s normal and what may indicate a deeper issue.

Normal vs Not Normal

Here’s how to tell whether the faster battery drain is expected or a sign of a fault:

• Puff count depends on puff length
  The advertised puff count (e.g., 30,000 puffs) is based on short, gentle puffs.
  If you take longer pulls or inhale deeply, each puff uses more power, which naturally drains the battery faster.

• Heavy use drains faster
  Chain vaping or taking many puffs in a short time heats the coil repeatedly.
  This increases power consumption and reduces overall battery life between charges.

• Older devices degrade over time
  As the internal battery ages — especially in rechargeable shisha-style vapes — its ability to hold a charge slowly decreases.
  If you’ve used the device heavily for weeks or months, reduced battery life is normal.

Tips to Maximise Battery Life

If your Shisha 30K vape is draining faster than you’d like, try these steps to extend battery performance:

1. Avoid chain vaping
Leave a few seconds between puffs.
This reduces heat build-up, protects the coil, and lowers power usage.

2. Store the device at room temperature
Batteries perform best in moderate temperatures.
Keeping your vape indoors — not in cars, hot pockets, or very cold places — helps maintain battery health.

3. Keep the device away from extreme heat or cold
Hot environments can cause the battery to drain rapidly.
Cold environments reduce battery efficiency and make it seem like the device is dying faster.

4. If the battery dies within hours of light use → replace the device
A device that drains extremely quickly, even with gentle use, is usually at the end of its rechargeable lifespan.
Since it’s a prefilled shisha vape, the internal battery cannot be repaired or replaced — so getting a new device is the best solution.

10. Flavour Mixed After Switching (Dual-Flavour Pods)

If you’re using a Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K dual-flavour pod and notice that the flavour tastes mixed, muddy, or not as clean as expected, don’t worry — this is very common. Dual-flavour pods are designed to offer variety, but because both flavours share the same internal coil and chimney, some overlap is unavoidable.

This doesn’t mean the device is faulty — it just needs a few simple steps to get the flavour tasting clean again.

Why This Happens

Your flavours may blend or taste mixed because of:

• Two flavours sharing the same coil
  Even though each side of the pod has a different e-liquid, both flavours still travel through one coil and one airflow path.
  This naturally causes a little flavour mixing when you switch.

• Wick holds flavour residue
  The cotton wick absorbs the previous flavour.
  It takes several puffs for the new flavour to fully take over, which can create a temporary “mixed” or “muddy” taste.

• Switching too quickly
  Switching flavours back and forth without giving the coil time to adjust causes the two flavours to blend.
  The wick needs a few puffs to clear out the old flavour before the new one tastes clean.

How to Fix It

Try the steps below to get a cleaner, more accurate flavour:

1. Take several puffs to clear out the old flavour
Normally, 3–6 puffs are enough for the wick to flush the previous flavour and let the new one come through clearly.
This is the fastest and easiest fix.

2. Replace the pod if the flavour still tastes muddy
If the flavour remains unclear or unpleasant even after multiple puffs, the coil may be saturated with mixed flavours or the pod may be nearing its end.
Switching to a new pod solves the issue instantly.

3. Recommend single-flavour pods for the purest taste
If you prefer strong, clean flavour with zero mixing, single-flavour pods are the best option.
They deliver consistent taste because the coil and wick are dedicated to just one flavour.

When to Replace the Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K Completely

Even though the Hayati 30K is designed to last a long time, every prefilled shisha-style device eventually reaches the point where it can’t be fixed. Knowing when to stop troubleshooting and simply replace the device will save you time, frustration, and in some cases, prevent safety risks.

Here are the clear signs that your device is no longer repairable and should be swapped for a new one.

When Replacement Is Necessary

• No LED even after charging
  If the device shows zero response — no LED, no warmth, no attempt to fire — even after trying different cables, chargers, and cleaning the port, the internal battery or chip has failed.
  Once this happens, the device cannot be recovered.

• Severe leaking or overheating
  Heavy leaks can reach the internal circuitry and cause shorts, misfires, or auto-firing.
  Overheating is an even bigger red flag — it means the coil or internal components are unsafe to use.
  In either case, continuing to vape on it is not recommended.

• Multiple pods not detected
  If you’ve tried several fresh pods and the device still flashes LED errors or refuses to activate, the coil detection system or contacts inside the device are damaged.
  This is a sign the device is at the end of its lifespan.

• Device damaged or water-exposed
  Drops, cracks, or exposure to water (even brief splashes) can permanently harm the internal board.
  Water damage especially makes the device unreliable and unsafe to use.

FAQs

1. Why is my Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K not hitting?

Your device may not hit because of a low battery, loose pod, blocked airflow sensor, or a burnt/dead coil.
Try cleaning the contacts, reinserting the pod, and taking a gentle puff.
If there’s no LED or vapour after multiple tries, the device may be at the end of its life.

2. How do I fix my Hayati 30K not charging?

Start by trying a different USB-C cable and wall plug.
Clean the charging port gently with a dry cotton bud to remove dust or debris.
If the device stays completely unresponsive even after leaving it on charge for 20–30 minutes, the internal battery may have failed, and the device needs replacing.

3. Why is my Hayati 30K blinking?

A blinking LED usually means:

• pod not detected,

• wet or dirty contacts,

• airflow issue, or

• an internal error.
  Clean the contacts, reinsert the pod, and try a fresh pod.
  If the LED keeps flashing with no vapour output, the internal chip may be faulty.

4. How long should the Hayati Pro Ultra 30K last?

Most users get between several days to a few weeks, depending on:

• puff length,

• frequency of use,

• charging habits, and

• coil health.
  Heavier use will shorten lifespan, while lighter use will extend it.

5. Why does my Hayati taste burnt suddenly?

A sudden burnt taste usually happens when the coil has dried out, the pod is nearly empty, or the coil has burnt from chain vaping.
Once the coil is burnt, the flavour will not recover — replace the pod to fix the issue.

6. Is leaking normal with the Hayati Pro Ultra Shisha 30K?

Small amounts of condensation are normal, but heavy leaking is not.
If your device is leaking badly, clean the contacts and check for damage.
If the pod continues leaking or gurgling, it may be faulty — replacing the pod is the safest solution.
