How to Refill Hayati Rubik?

If you've recently picked up a Hayati Rubik, you might be asking the obvious question: how do you refill it? At a glance, it looks like any other pod kit; compact, pocket-sized, and easy to use. But here's the important thing to know: you don’t refill the Hayati Rubik in the usual way.

There’s no rubber stopper to pull out, no messy nozzle fittings, and no bottle of e-liquid needed. The Rubik follows a completely different mechanism that does the work for you. And, if you try to refill it manually, you’ll likely end up breaking it.

In this blog, we’re going to explain exactly how the Hayati Rubik’s internal refill system works, why you can't refill it manually, and how to know when to replace the pod tank. 

Let’s start with the basics. Most pod kits use a refillable/detachable pod that you open manually. You remove a stopper, squeeze e-liquid into the pod, close it up, let the coil soak, and then vape.

That’s not how the Hayati Rubik works.

The Rubik uses a dual-chambered system. It combines a large 10ml internal refill tank with a smaller 2ml pod. The main tank automatically tops up the pod each time it runs low.

Have a look at this image to better understand how this device works: You don’t have to do anything. Just vape as normal, and the internal mechanics handle the rest.

Let’s be clear: No, you cannot refill the 10ml tank yourself. It’s sealed at the factory and is not meant to be opened. Trying to pull it apart, drill into it, or use tools to force it open will damage the unit and could ruin your device entirely.

So if you’ve seen videos online showing people “hacking” the Rubik to refill it, take those with a heavy pinch of salt. It’s not worth the hassle.

The Hayati Rubik gives a few signs that the internal tank is running dry. Here’s what to watch for:

• Burnt Taste: If the coil runs completely dry, you’ll taste the dreaded burnt hit. This is your signal to stop vaping and swap the tank immediately.
• The Pod Feels Lighter: Once you’ve vaped through most of the 10ml tank, the pod will weigh noticeably less. You might not realise how heavy it was when full, but when it’s empty, it’s very obvious.
• Vapour Reduces: With less liquid reaching the coil, vapour production drops. It may feel like the airflow is tighter or that you’re not getting a proper hit.
• Flavour Drops: As the liquid runs low, you’ll notice the taste begins to fade. The vape starts feeling drier, and flavour notes become muted.

Since the pod tank can’t be refilled, you’ll need to replace it when the liquid runs out. Here’s how to do that safely:

1. Pull out the old tank: Grip the pod gently and pull it out of the top of the device. It should slide out with moderate pressure.
2. Dispose of the empty tank: These are single-use and shouldn’t be refilled. Recycle if possible according to local vape product guidelines.
3. Unpack the new tank: Remove the seal and packaging from the fresh Hayati Rubik 10ml tank.
4. Insert it into the device: Slide the new tank into place. You may hear a light click when it’s seated properly.
5. Wait 2 minutes: Give the coil a moment to settle before taking your first puff.

Yes, it’s a nice option for people trying to stop smoking or leave disposables behind. Here’s why:

• 20mg nicotine strength provides a decent hit, especially for ex-smokers.
• Simple use: no buttons, no settings.
• Disposable-style flavour profiles make the switch feel familiar.
• Longer use per unit makes it more cost-effective than disposable vapes.

The Hayati Rubik is not a refillable vape in the traditional sense, and that’s exactly the point. It’s designed for convenience, safety, and minimal user error. Once the tank runs dry, you replace the whole pod tank. Simple as that.
