Al Fakher Crown Bar Pro Max 12K Pod Kit

The Pro Max 12K is Al Fakher’s MTL-focused prefilled pod kit, designed for ex-smokers and anyone wanting a tighter draw than the DTL big-puff devices. The genuinely unique feature: a built-in sound wave effect that produces a subtle hookah-style hum on every puff.

At a Glance

About Al Fakher

Al Fakher is the world’s leading shisha tobacco brand, founded in the United Arab Emirates in 1999 and now sold across more than 100 countries. The brand built its reputation on authentic, complex flavour profiles that became defining tastes in hookah lounges globally. Their UK vape range carries that same flavour heritage into modern formats: prefilled big-puff pod kits, nic salt e-liquids, and nicotine pouches, all manufactured to UK TPD standards.

What Makes It Different

The sound wave feature is what makes this kit stand out. Most big-puff devices are silent, and the subtle hookah-style sound effect on each draw genuinely changes how the device feels in use. Combined with the dual-tank auto-refill system, it’s a more thoughtful prefilled kit than most.

Who’s It For

Ex-smokers and MTL preferring vapers, especially anyone curious about the traditional shisha smoking experience translated into a portable, regulated UK-compliant format. As with all vape products, this kit is intended for adult vapers 18 and over only.

Getting Started

Each Al Fakher big-puff kit comes ready to use straight out of the box. Open the packaging, remove the safety seal from the mouthpiece (and from the prefilled pods if they’re packaged separately), and insert the pod into the device until it clicks into place.

The device is draw-activated, so there are no buttons to press. Simply inhale through the mouthpiece and the coil will heat up to deliver vapour. If you’re starting a fresh pod or refill, give it 5 to 10 minutes after assembly before the first puff so the coil has time to fully saturate. This prevents the burnt-taste first puff.

Charge via USB-C when the battery indicator drops low. Most Al Fakher kits charge fully in under an hour.

Looking After Your Kit

Charge only via USB-C and don’t leave the device on charge unattended overnight. Store away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme heat. If the device shows physical damage like swelling, cracks, or leaks from the body itself rather than the pod, stop using it immediately.

When the prefilled pod or refill containers run out, swap them rather than disposing of the whole device. The Al Fakher prefilled kits are designed to be reused with multiple pods over their lifespan, which is why they’re significantly less wasteful than single-use disposable vapes.

A Few Common Questions

Is this a disposable vape? No. The Al Fakher big-puff range is a rechargeable kit with replaceable prefilled pods. The device body itself is reusable, only the prefilled pods are consumable. This is the legal UK replacement format for traditional single-use disposable bars, which were banned in mid-2025.

What’s the difference between MTL and DTL? MTL (Mouth To Lung) is the tighter, cigarette-style draw. You inhale into your mouth first, then into your lungs. DTL (Direct To Lung) is the looser, airier draw where you inhale directly into your lungs, producing bigger clouds. The Pro Max 12K is MTL, the 15K/30K Hypermax kits are DTL or restricted DTL.

How does the puff count work? The puff count quoted is an average figure across the kit’s total e-liquid capacity. Lighter draws will give you more puffs than the quoted figure, heavier draws fewer. As a guide, around 200-300 puffs per day is typical for a moderate user, which means a 15K kit lasts roughly 6-8 weeks and a 30K kit lasts 12-15 weeks.

Is this kit authentic Al Fakher stock? Yes, every unit is sourced through authorised UK channels. You can verify authenticity by scratching the security code on the packaging and entering it on Al Fakher’s official website.

What if I get a burnt taste? Almost always a priming issue if it happens on a fresh pod. Let any new pod sit for 5-10 minutes after fitting before the first puff. If the burnt taste appears mid-life on a pod that was working fine, the coil has reached the end of its useful life and the pod needs replacing.
