RandM Tornado vs Hayati Pro Ultra 25K: The Better High-Puff Vape?
The RandM Tornado 9000 and the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K are both popular high-puff rechargeable pod kits, but they sit in noticeably different positions in the market. The RandM is established, affordable, and familiar to anyone who upgraded from 600-puff bars. The Hayati 25K is technically advanced, longer-lasting, and the only device in the UK market with both a dual-flavour twist system and an LCD display.
This comparison gives you a clear, honest look at both devices across every metric that matters - so you can choose the right one for how you vape.

Puff Count
The puff count difference is the most significant factor in this comparison. The RandM Tornado 9000 delivers 9,000 puffs. The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K delivers 25,000 puffs - nearly three times more from a single device.
In practice, a moderate vaper taking 300 puffs per day uses a RandM Tornado 9000 in 30 days. The same vaper gets approximately 83 days from a Hayati 25K. You would need three RandM Tornado 9000 devices to match the puff output of one Hayati 25K - meaning three purchases, three deliveries, and three times the packaging waste.
Price Comparison
The RandM Tornado 9000 retails at £8.49 per device. The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K retails at £10.99, or £9.00 per device on the 2-for-£18 deal.
On face value, the RandM is £2.50 cheaper. But this only tells part of the story. For the full picture, you need to look at cost per puff.
UK Vape World also stocks the RandM Tornado 7000 at £7.89 (any 2 for £14) as a lower-puff-count RandM option.
Cost Per Puff
This is where the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K pulls ahead decisively. At £8.49 for 9,000 puffs, the RandM Tornado costs £0.094 per 100 puffs. At £10.99 for 25,000 puffs, the Hayati costs £0.044 per 100 puffs. On the 2-for-£18 deal, the Hayati drops to £0.036 per 100 puffs.
The Hayati 25K is more than twice as cost-efficient per puff as the RandM Tornado 9000. Over a full year at 300 puffs per day:
- RandM Tornado 9000: approximately 12 devices at £8.49 = £102
- Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K: approximately 4-5 devices at £10.99 = £49
Annual saving with the Hayati: over £50 for a moderate vaper. For heavy vapers the saving scales further.
Flavour Range
Both devices offer a wide selection of UK-popular flavours. R&M vapes are known for their broad flavour variety across the Tornado range, and the 9000 is no exception - popular flavours include Blue Razz Ice, Watermelon Ice, Pink Lemonade, and Mango Ice.
The Hayati 25K matches the RandM on flavour depth with over 30 options across fruit, menthol/ice, sweet/candy, and berry categories. Where the Hayati genuinely leads is in the dual-flavour twist system: two pods in one device, switchable by twisting the mouthpiece. The full flavour range is detailed in our Hayati 25K flavours guide.
The RandM Tornado 9000 offers one flavour per device, with no mechanism for switching mid-device.
Technology: LCD and Dual-Flavour
This is the clearest point of separation between the two devices.
The RandM Tornado 9000 has no display and no dual-flavour capability. You have no real-time information about puff count or battery level. You use one flavour per device, and you guess how much is left until performance drops.
The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K includes:
- An LCD display showing real-time puff count and battery level
- An intelligent chip set with active flavour indicator
- A dual-flavour twist mouthpiece - unique across the UK high-puff market
For vapers who use their device daily for weeks at a time, having a live puff counter and battery display is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement. No other device at this price point offers this.
Battery and Charging
Both devices use USB-C charging. The RandM Tornado 9000 has a 850mAh battery. The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K uses an 850mAh battery with fast charging support, fully charged in under one hour. Given the Hayati's 25,000 puff lifespan versus the RandM's 9,000, the Hayati will need charging less frequently relative to the number of puffs delivered per charge cycle.
Who Should Choose the RandM Tornado 9000
- You prefer a familiar pen-style form factor - the Tornado 9000 is slim and cylindrical, similar to older disposable bars
- You want the lowest upfront spend - at £8.49 it is the cheapest entry into the high-puff category
- You are a light-to-moderate vaper where the per-puff cost difference over a year is modest
- You already know which RandM flavour you want and are not looking for variety
Who Should Choose the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K
- You want the lowest cost per puff - the Hayati is over 2x cheaper per puff than the RandM
- You want two flavours in one device - the twist system is unique to the Hayati
- You value knowing what is left - the LCD display removes all guesswork
- You are a moderate to heavy vaper where the 25,000 puff lifespan makes a meaningful difference to how often you buy
- You are switching from cigarettes - 20mg nic salt and MTL draw on both devices, but the Hayati's longevity and display make the transition easier to manage
Final Verdict
Our Verdict
For most vapers, the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K is the better choice. It delivers 2.8 times more puffs per device, costs more than twice as little per puff, and includes features - an LCD display and dual-flavour twist system - that no other device in this price range offers. The £2.50 higher upfront cost versus the RandM Tornado 9000 is recovered within the first few weeks of use.
The RandM Tornado 9000 remains a solid device and a good value upgrade from older 600-puff bars - particularly if you prefer the slim pen form factor or want the lowest possible upfront spend. But on the metrics that determine long-term value, the Hayati 25K wins decisively.

Do randm vapes have an LCD display?
No. The RandM Tornado 9000 and Tornado 7000 do not include an LCD display. The Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K is the only device in this comparison with a real-time puff count and battery level display.
Are RandM vapes and Hayati vapes ban-compliant?
Yes. Both the RandM Tornado range and the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K are rechargeable prefilled pod kits, making them compliant with UK regulations following the June 2025 single-use vape ban.
Which is better for someone switching from cigarettes - RandM or Hayati?
Both deliver 20mg nicotine salt via a mouth-to-lung draw that mimics cigarette smoking. The Hayati 25K has an edge for switchers due to its longer lifespan (less disruption to routine from frequent replacement), its LCD display (easier to track usage and charging), and the dual-flavour option (useful for those still exploring which flavour profile suits them).
