Hayati Quokka Elite Pod Kit

Metal, without the weight

If you like a metal device but find heavier kits a drag in a pocket, the Elite is the middle path. Its aluminium alloy body weighs 54.07g, about 23g lighter than the zinc alloy Quokka Pro at 77.3g and about 8g heavier than the polycarbonate Quokka Lite at 46.36g.

Lighter does not mean smaller in the battery: the Elite holds 1,100mAh, the same capacity as the Pro and the Lite. Hayati lists Quokka Mode for the Elite and four modes for the Pro, so the Pro is the pick if you want more settings to work with.

Colours run from Onyx Black, Navy Blue and Silver White to Forest Green, Opal Grey, Baby Pink, a Pink Blue Gradient and Quokka Colour.

Power band and pods

The Elite works between 12 and 22W in Quokka Mode, the same band as the Lite. Hayati's packing list puts two refillable pods in the box, a 0.6 ohm and a 0.8 ohm, and the brand lists the whole Quokka pod family, including the 1.2 ohm, as compatible with the Elite.

For 50/50 nic salts, Hayati's table starts the 0.6 ohm pod at 10mg and the 0.8 and 1.2 ohm pods at 20mg. UK nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, so 20mg is the strength that fits every pod's range, while 10mg belongs on the 0.6 ohm. For freebase, the two pods in the box cover 0 to 9mg on the 0.6 ohm and 0 to 12mg on the 0.8 ohm. The 1.2 ohm pod, matched by the brand to freebase from 6 to 18mg, comes in Quokka pod packs.

Charging and the box

The Elite's charging current is 2A, the same as the Quokka Pro and double the Lite's 1A, feeding a 1,100mAh battery. Hayati's packing list includes a Type-C charging cable and a user manual alongside the device and its two pods. Having a 0.6 and a 0.8 ohm pod from day one lets you try both coils with your usual e-liquid before you buy a pack of either. Like every Quokka pod, they hold 2ml and fill from the side.

As a refillable kit, the Elite needs bottled e-liquid, such as 10ml Hayati Pro Max Nic Salts at 10mg or 20mg. It is for adults 18 and over, and nicotine is highly addictive.

How to fill the pod and start

1. Choose a pod: 0.6 ohm for a looser draw, 0.8 ohm for a tighter mouth-to-lung draw.
2. Lift the silicone plug on the side of the pod, fill it with e-liquid and press the plug back in. The side port lets you top up without taking the pod out.
3. Fit the pod and leave a new one a few minutes for the coil to soak.
4. Quokka Mode reads the pod's resistance and sets the power, between 12W and 22W, on its own.
5. Turn the airflow control on the side of the device to tighten or loosen the draw.

The charging port is USB-C, on the base of the device.
