Hayati Pro Max Plus – How to Remove Pod Safely (Quick Guide)

How to take the pod out of your Hayati Pro Max Plus without damaging it, what to do if it's stuck and how to recycle the old pack.

Quick answer: To remove the pod from a Hayati Pro Max Plus safely, hold the device by its body and pull the pod and its 10ml container straight up and out in one steady pull. Don't twist or lever it. Wipe the metal contacts with a dry tissue, then take the used pack to a vape recycling point instead of putting it in the bin.

Removing the pod is the first step whenever your Hayati Pro Max Plus runs out. Doing it the right way protects the contacts and keeps your device working properly. This quick guide covers when to remove the pod, how to do it safely and what to do with the old one.

When to Remove the Pod

• The e-liquid level on the screen is low or empty
• The vapour feels weaker than usual
• The flavour fades or tastes burnt
• The battery is charged, but there's little or no vapour

Don't keep vaping an empty pack. It can burn the coil and leave a harsh taste.

How to Remove the Pod Safely

1. Hold the device by its body. Grip the main body firmly, not the pod, so it doesn't slip.
2. Pull straight up. Pull the pod and its container straight up and out in one steady movement. Don't twist, bend or lever it, as that can damage the contacts.
3. Check the slot. Look at the contacts inside the device. If there's any e-liquid, wipe it away with a dry tissue or cotton bud.
4. Keep it dry. Let the slot dry fully before you fit a new pack.

If the Pod Feels Stuck

• Dry your hands and get a firmer grip on both the device and the pod.
• Pull straight up with steady pressure rather than a sudden yank.
• Never use a knife, screwdriver or other tool to prise it out.
• If it still won't come out, contact the shop you bought it from.

What to Do With the Used Pod

The pod and container are prefilled and sealed, so they can't be refilled or reused. Don't try to top them up with a needle or bottle: that can cause leaks and damage the device. Read can you refill a Hayati Pro Max Plus? to find out why.

Vapes and their parts, including used pods, count as electrical waste in the UK. Don't put them in your household bin. Take them to a vape recycling bin: shops that sell vapes must offer a take-back service for used pods, coils and batteries.

Fitting a New Pod

Once the old pack is out, unseal a new pod and container, press them together and push them in until they click. For the full steps, see our guide on how to change the pod on a Hayati Pro Max Plus.

Final Thoughts

Removing a Hayati Pro Max Plus pod safely takes seconds: hold the body, pull straight up, wipe the contacts and recycle the old pack properly. Treat the contacts gently and your device will keep working as it should.

Vapes are for adult smokers aged 18 and over. If you don't smoke, don't start vaping.
