Hayati Quokka Pods

The brand's coil and e-liquid table

Hayati publishes a compatibility table for its Quokka pods. It splits e-liquid into freebase, at 30/70 or 40/60 PG/VG, and nic salt, at 50/50, then gives each resistance its own nicotine range. Here is the brand's guidance, shown within the UK limit of 20mg/ml for nicotine e-liquid:

• 0.6 ohm: freebase 0 to 9mg, nic salt 10 to 20mg.
• 0.8 ohm: freebase 0 to 12mg, nic salt 20mg.
• 1.2 ohm: freebase 6 to 18mg, nic salt 20mg.

Put simply, the lower-nicotine end belongs to the 0.6 ohm pod, while the 0.8 and 1.2 ohm pods are matched to 20mg nic salt. A 20mg nic salt is covered by all three resistances, 10mg nic salt only by the 0.6 ohm, and freebase between 6mg and 9mg by all three.

Matching Hayati e-liquids

Applied to Hayati's own bottles: Hayati Pro Max Nic Salts are 50/50 at 10mg or 20mg, so the 20mg bottles suit any Quokka pod and the 10mg bottles suit the 0.6 ohm. Their 50/50 mix is also the exact ratio the table's nic salt row is written for. Hayati marks its Shisha range of nic salts for 0.8 ohm open pods.

The 70VG/30PG Hayati shortfill is 0mg, which falls inside the freebase range for the 0.6 and 0.8 ohm pods but below the 6mg starting point the brand gives for the 1.2 ohm.

Capacity, filling and pack size

Each pack holds three Quokka pods in the resistance you pick. The pods fill from the side, use Hayati's Quokka mesh coil and hold 2ml each, the most UK rules allow in a nicotine pod.

The pods fit the Quokka Pro, Quokka Elite and Quokka Lite. The Pro and Elite ship with a 0.6 and a 0.8 ohm pod and the Lite with a single 0.8 ohm, so a pack is how you add a 1.2 ohm or restock the coil you use most. The 1.2 ohm is the pod the brand pairs with the highest freebase range in its table, 6 to 18mg. If you switch between nic salt and freebase, two packs in different resistances keep both covered. And because every Quokka kit takes the same pods, a pack bought for one device works in another, handy if you keep a Lite as a spare beside a Pro. Compare the kits on the Hayati Quokka overview.

How to fill and fit a Quokka pod

1. Take the pod out of the Quokka kit.
2. Lift the silicone plug on the side of the pod and fill it with nic salt or freebase e-liquid.
3. Press the plug back in and fit the pod.
4. Leave a new pod a few minutes for the coil to soak before you vape.
5. When the coil wears out, replace the whole pod.

Choosing a resistance: 0.6 ohm gives the most open draw, 0.8 ohm sits in between, and 1.2 ohm gives a tight mouth-to-lung draw. The colour on the base tells them apart: black for 0.6, orange for 0.8 and blue for 1.2. The pods fit the Quokka Pro, Elite and Lite.
