Hayati Rubik 7000 Retail Margin and Stocking Guide
The Hayati Rubik 7000 retail margin starts from a trade price of £12.00 for a Pack of 5 — £2.40 per complete kit.
Replacement pods are a separate line at £5.50 per Box of 5, and that second line is where the repeat revenue sits.
Prices change, so treat the figures here as correct at the time of writing and check the live listing before you order. What does not change is the structure: this is a two-line product, and planning it as one line is where most shops lose the margin.
Why the Rubik works differently from a disposable
The Hayati Rubik 7000 kit is a rechargeable prefilled pod system rated at 7,000+ puffs, built around a 2ml cartridge fed by a separate 10ml container. Both parts are replaceable, and the 850mAh battery is kept.
A single-use device ends the transaction when the liquid runs out. This one does not. The customer keeps the device and comes back for the pod, which turns one sale into a reason to return.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Format | Rechargeable prefilled pod kit |
| Puff estimate | 7,000+ per pod set |
| Battery | 850mAh, USB Type-C |
| Liquid system | 2ml cartridge + 10ml container |
| Coil | Mesh, inside the pod |
| Nicotine strength | 20mg nic salt |
| Kit pack size | Pack of 5 complete kits |
| Pod pack size | Box of 5 replacement sets |
One detail worth knowing at the counter: the mesh coil sits inside the pod, not the device. Every pod change gives the customer a fresh coil, which is a straightforward answer to “will it still taste the same in a month?”
Working out your Hayati Rubik 7000 retail margin
The formula is the same one that applies to any line on your shelf.
Margin % = (Selling price − Cost price) ÷ Selling price × 100
At £12.00 for five kits, your cost is £2.40 per kit before any other business costs. Drop your own shelf price into the formula and you have your figure.
| Shelf price per kit | Cost | Gross profit | Gross margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| £6.00 | £2.40 | £3.60 | 60.0% |
| £7.00 | £2.40 | £4.60 | 65.7% |
| £8.00 | £2.40 | £5.60 | 70.0% |
These are worked examples of the arithmetic, not a recommended retail price. Set your own against your local market.
Margin and markup are not the same number
This is the most common pricing error in vape retail, and it flatters figures in the wrong direction.
- Margin is profit as a percentage of the selling price.
- Markup is profit as a percentage of the cost price.
A £3.60 profit on a £6.00 sale is a 60% margin. The same sale is a 150% markup on £2.40. Same money, very different-sounding number — so be clear which one you are quoting when you set prices or compare suppliers.
The second line is where the return sits
A kit sale is once. A pod sale repeats for as long as the customer keeps the device.
Rubik 7K replacement pods are a separate listing at £5.50 per Box of 5 — £1.10 per pod set. Each set is a 2ml cartridge with its own 10ml container and a new coil.
Stocking the kit without the pods means a customer who bought from you comes back and finds nothing to buy. That is the sale you have already earned, handed to whoever does stock them.
How long a pod set lasts
Commonly one to two weeks for an average vaper, shorter for heavy use and longer for light use. That range is a planning guide rather than a guarantee, and it is the number that tells you roughly how often a customer is due back.
Choosing which flavours to order
There is no independently verified sales data showing which specific Rubik flavour moves fastest, so no list here claims to rank them. What is known is that the range runs to twenty flavours across four profile groups.
Spread across groups rather than betting on names
For a first order, covering the profile groups is lower risk than committing to individual flavours:
- Fruit — Blueberry Raspberry, Triple Mango, Strawberry Kiwi
- Ice and menthol — Fresh Mint, Watermelon Ice, Mr Blue
- Sweet and candy — Blue Razz Gummy Bear, H'Bubba
- Drink-inspired — Vim Ice, Lemon Cola Ice
The Rubik flavour guide sets out what sits in each group, which is useful for staff who get asked to recommend one.
Worth knowing: the range has no tobacco-style flavour. If customers ask for one, it is not available in this line and they will need a different range.
Availability shifts as stock moves, so use the live selector on the ordering page rather than a printed list before committing to volume.
What to order first
Kits before pods, for the obvious reason: nobody needs a replacement pod until they own the device.
Opening order. A Pack of 5 kits spread across two or three profile groups, plus a small batch of pods in the same flavours so early customers have something to come back to.
After four to six weeks. You will have real sell-through data of your own. Scale the flavours that moved, drop the ones that did not, and shift the balance towards pods as your installed base grows.
There is no confirmed industry ratio of pods to kits for this product, so any fixed number would be invented. Your own first month of sales is better data than any published guide.
Storing stock so it does not cost you margin
Damaged stock is margin lost before it reaches the till. General handling that applies to any two-part pod system:
- Store upright rather than on their side
- Keep away from direct heat and sunlight — heat is the usual cause of leaking across any pod system
- Leave seals and plugs intact until the point of sale
- Rotate older stock to the front
No verified complaint data specific to this product exists, so nothing here is a claim about Rubik fault rates. It is standard practice for the format.
Two ordering mistakes worth avoiding
Ordering pods thinking they are kits
The kit listing is five complete devices. The pod listing is five replacement sets with no device. They look similar in a basket and serve completely different stock needs.
Assuming Hayati pods are interchangeable
They are not. Rubik 7000 pods fit the Rubik only — not the Pro Max Plus 6000, not the Pro Ultra Plus 25K. Ordering by brand name alone is how the wrong pods arrive. The Hayati pod compatibility guide sets out which pods belong to which device.
Where it sits in the wider range
Since 1 June 2025 single-use vapes have not been legal to sell in the UK, which is why reusable kits now occupy the shelf space disposables used to. A vape counts as single-use if it either has a battery that cannot be recharged or is not refillable — either one alone is enough. [documented — gov.uk single-use vapes ban guidance]
Compliance for any specific product is settled by MHRA notification and enforced by Trading Standards rather than by a supplier's description. The MHRA notified products list is searchable.
For the device itself, our Rubik 7000 review covers the build and pod system. Across the brand, the full Hayati kit range and which Hayati models have their own pod lines are worth checking when you plan a wider order, and every prefilled and reusable kit stocked here covers the category beyond one brand.
The short version
Low entry cost, a straightforward margin calculation, and a second line that brings the customer back. Start with a Pack of 5 across a few profile groups, add a small pod order alongside it, and let four to six weeks of your own sales decide what to scale.
Frequently asked questions
What is the trade price of the Hayati Rubik 7000?
£12.00 for a Pack of 5 complete kits at the time of writing, which is £2.40 per kit. Replacement pods are £5.50 per Box of 5. Check the live listing before ordering, as prices change.
What margin can I expect on the Hayati Rubik 7000?
That depends entirely on your shelf price, because the cost side is fixed at £2.40 per kit. At £6.00 retail the gross margin is 60%; at £8.00 it is 70%.
Should I order kits or replacement pods first?
Kits first. Nobody needs a replacement pod until they own a device. Add a small pod order alongside so early buyers have something to return for.
How many pods should I order per kit?
No confirmed ratio exists for this product. Order a small batch in the same flavours as your kits, then set the ratio from your own first month of sell-through.
Are Hayati Rubik 7K and Rubik 7000 the same line?
Yes. 7K is shorthand for the same 7,000-puff model, so treat them as one line when ordering.
Do Rubik pods fit other Hayati devices?
No. They are specific to the Rubik 7000. Pods for the Pro Max Plus 6000 and Pro Ultra Plus 25K are separate lines and are not interchangeable.
Is there a tobacco flavour in the Rubik range?
No. The twenty flavours cover fruit, ice and menthol, sweet and candy, and drink-inspired profiles. Customers wanting tobacco will need a different range.
How often will a customer come back for pods?
A pod set commonly lasts one to two weeks for an average vaper, shorter for heavy use. That is a planning guide rather than a fixed figure.
