Al Fakher 30K HyperMax Flavours Ranked + Replacement Pods Guide (UK 2026)
Written by the Vape7Store team — a UK-registered online vape retailer. All products sold are for adults 18+. Last updated: 7 July 2026.
The Al Fakher Crown Bar 30K HyperMax has quietly become one of the most searched-for pod kits in the UK — and most of the questions we get asked in support are the same three: which flavours are actually worth buying, how do the replacement pods work, and what's the difference between buying the kit and buying pods on their own? This guide answers all three, based on the full range we stock and test at Vape7Store.
If you want the deep-dive on hardware, battery life and build quality, read our full Al Fakher Crown Bar HyperMax 30K review first. This article is the flavour and pods companion to that review.
Al Fakher 30K HyperMax: the 30-second summary
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Puff count | Up to 30,000 (two 10ml pods, dual L/R slots) |
| Battery | 850mAh, USB-C rechargeable |
| Nicotine | 20mg (2%) nicotine salt |
| Pods | Replaceable, prefilled — click-in Left (L) and Right (R) pods |
| Extras | LED display, adjustable airflow, mesh coil |
| Flavour range | 45+ flavours, including Al Fakher's classic shisha blends |
The headline feature is the dual-pod system: the device takes two 10ml pods at once, and you can switch between them without removing either. Run Double Apple in one slot and an ice flavour in the other, and swap mid-day. No other kit in this price bracket does that as cleanly.
Al Fakher 30K flavours ranked — our top 10
We stock the full HyperMax range. These are the ten that reorder fastest with our UK customers, ranked:
1. Double Apple (Two Apples)
The flavour Al Fakher is famous for. If you've ever had Al Fakher shisha, this is that exact taste — sweet red apple with the distinctive anise edge. It's the single most repurchased pod we sell in the range, and the reason many shisha smokers pick this kit over a Lost Mary or Hayati. Browse it in the kit range or grab it as a refill pod.
2. Berry Ice
Mixed berries with a clean menthol finish — the safest "crowd-pleaser" pick if you're buying your first HyperMax. Balanced sweetness, not sickly at 20mg.
3. Blackcurrant Ice
A very British flavour profile — think Ribena with frost. Sharper than Berry Ice, and the better choice if you find mixed-berry blends too soft.
4. Strawberry Punch
Ripe strawberry with a light candy edge. This one ranks on Google for a reason — it's the range's best pure-fruit flavour without any ice.
5. Cherry Ice
Dark cherry, medium ice. Noticeably more natural-tasting than the "fizzy cherry" style flavours elsewhere in the range.
6. Blueberry Sour Raspberry
The pick for ex-disposable users — it's the closest match to the classic blue razz profile from the disposables era, but smoother thanks to the mesh coil.
7. Watermelon Lime
Summer flavour. Watermelon does the heavy lifting; lime keeps it from getting watery. Excellent in the second slot alongside a shisha blend.
8. Blackcurrant Mint
Like Blackcurrant Ice but with a rounder spearmint rather than sharp menthol. Divisive but loyal fanbase.
9. Blueberry Lemonade
Sweet-tart and lighter on the throat than most of the range — a good all-day option.
10. Summer Dream
A tropical peach-berry blend, and the most "shisha lounge" of the fruit flavours. If you want something that doesn't taste like every other vape, start here.

Al Fakher 30K replacement pods: how they work
This is the part most first-time buyers miss: you don't throw the device away when the liquid runs out. The HyperMax is a rechargeable device with click-in prefilled pods:
- Each kit comes with two 10ml pods installed (Left and Right slots).
- When a pod is finished, you click it out and click a new prefilled pod in — no refilling, no coils, no mess.
- Replacement pods cost a fraction of the full kit, which is where the real savings are: after your first kit purchase, you only ever buy pods.
- Pods are flavour-interchangeable — any HyperMax pod fits either slot, so you can mix two flavours.
A typical heavier vaper gets through roughly a pod a week, which makes the running cost significantly lower per puff than any 600-puff product ever was — we've done the full maths in our guide to whether vaping is cheaper than smoking in 2026.
Kit vs pods: what should you buy?
| Full kit | Replacement pods | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Device + 2 prefilled pods | Prefilled pod(s) only |
| Buy when | First purchase, or battery worn out | Every time after that |
| Cost per 10,000 puffs | Higher | Lowest in class |
Is the Al Fakher 30K legal in the UK?
Yes. The UK's disposable vape ban (1 June 2025) applies to single-use devices. The HyperMax is rechargeable via USB-C and uses replaceable pods, which is exactly the product category the market moved to after the ban. Regulations continue to evolve under the Tobacco and Vapes Bill — including the new vaping duty arriving in October 2026, which we've broken down in our Vaping Products Duty guide — so prices across the whole UK market are expected to rise this autumn. If you have a favourite flavour, this is genuinely a sensible time to stock up on pods.
FAQs
How long does the Al Fakher 30K actually last?
The 30,000-puff figure covers both 10ml pods under lab conditions. In real-world use, expect 2–4 weeks for a moderate vaper, longer if you alternate devices.
What nicotine strength are the pods?
All UK HyperMax pods are 20mg (2%) nicotine salt — the legal maximum. If you're not sure whether 20mg suits you, read our nicotine strength guide.
Can I use one pod at a time?
Yes — the device works with a single pod installed, though most users keep both slots filled to switch flavours.
Are fake Al Fakher 30K kits circulating in the UK?
Counterfeits of popular kits do exist. Buy from a registered UK retailer, check the authenticity code on the packaging against Al Fakher's verification site, and be suspicious of prices far below the market norm.
