SKE Crystal Bar Pre-Filled Kits
SKE Crystal pre-filled pod kits pair a rechargeable battery with a sealed pod of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid. Nine products sit in this collection, four of them in stock when this page was written, covering the SKE Bar 600, the Crystal 600 Pro closed pod kit and the Crystal Plus battery sold on its own. Prices open at £6.99.
SKE Crystal became a household name in the UK during the bar era. When single use vapes were banned from sale on 1 June 2025 the brand carried the same flavour list into a rechargeable pod format. The device now recharges over USB and the pod is the only part that gets replaced, which is the legal and practical difference between these kits and the products they succeeded.
What is in this collection
SKE Bar 600
The closest thing to the original Crystal Bar experience. A compact rechargeable body with a sealed 2ml pod at 20mg, sold as a complete kit with the flavour chosen at the point of order.
SKE Crystal 600 Pro
A closed pod kit built around the same idea with the Crystal 600 Pro pod format. Replacement pods for it are sold separately, so once you have the battery the ongoing cost is the pod alone rather than a whole new device.
SKE Crystal Plus battery
The Crystal Plus body sold on its own at £7.99 without pods. Useful if you already keep Crystal Plus pods and the original battery has been lost or worn out.
How a pre-filled pod kit works
The pod arrives sealed with the e-liquid and the coil already inside it. You take the wrapper off, push the pod into the battery until it seats, then draw on it. There is nothing to prime, no bottle to pour and no coil to fit separately. When the flavour tails off you pull the pod out and put a fresh one in.
The battery is charged over USB. A dry cotton bud on the pod bay contacts solves most cases of a device refusing to register a pod.
Pod capacity and nicotine strength
Every pod here holds a maximum of 2ml, the ceiling UK regulations set for a nicotine containing pod or tank. The fill strength is 20mg per ml nicotine salt, the highest permitted for sale in the UK. Nicotine salt is paired with an acid that lowers the pH of the liquid, so it feels smoother in the throat at high strength than freebase nicotine does.
All nicotine containing products sold in the UK must be notified to the MHRA before going on sale and may only be sold to adults aged 18 and over.
Flavours across the range
The SKE flavour list is built around iced fruit and soft drink profiles. Berry Ice, Blue Razz Lemonade, Cherry Ice, Cola Ice, Fizzy Cherry, Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, Lemon and Lime, Menthol, Pineapple Ice, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Burst and Watermelon Ice all appear across the current pod kits, alongside a plain Tobacco option. Availability shifts as individual flavours sell through, so the dropdown on the product page is the accurate source rather than any list written here.
Cost against a refillable kit
A pre-filled kit is the cheapest way into vaping and the most expensive way to keep vaping. You pay for the coil and the pod shell every time you change flavour, which pushes the cost per millilitre well above bottled e-liquid. A refillable pod kit with a 10ml bottle of nic salt fills a 2ml pod five times over for roughly the price of one pre-filled pack.
Recycling and the single use ban
Used pods hold electronics in the coil and a residue of e-liquid, so they belong at a dedicated vape recycling point rather than in a household bin. Since 1 June 2025 every vaping device sold in the UK has had to be rechargeable with a replaceable pod or coil.
Delivery and support
UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and orders placed on working days are picked and dispatched quickly. If you want to check something before you order, the team is on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
SKE Crystal questions answered
Are SKE Crystal Bars still available in the UK?
Not in their original single use form. The sale of single use vapes ended in the UK on 1 June 2025. What SKE sells now are pre-filled pod kits, where the battery recharges over USB and the sealed pod is replaced when the liquid runs down. The flavour list carried across largely unchanged.
What is the difference between the SKE Bar 600 and the Crystal 600 Pro?
Both are pre-filled pod kits at 20mg with a 2ml pod. They use different pod formats, so the pods are not interchangeable between them. The Crystal 600 Pro takes its own replacement pods, which are sold separately, so check which body you own before ordering refills.
How long does one SKE Crystal pod last?
That depends entirely on how much you vape. A 2ml pod at 20mg typically covers a light vaper for a couple of days and a heavier vaper for less than one. Puff figures on packaging come from laboratory testing with a fixed puff length, so real world use comes in lower.
Can I refill an SKE Crystal pod?
They are not built for it. The pod is factory sealed and the coil inside is matched to the liquid it was filled with, so attempts to top one up generally end in leaking or a burnt taste. If refilling appeals, a refillable pod kit with bottled nic salt is the product to look at instead.
Why is the SKE Crystal Plus battery sold without pods?
So you can replace a lost or worn out body without buying a whole new kit. Batteries wear down over hundreds of charge cycles while the pods are consumed continuously, so selling the body separately at £7.99 is cheaper than replacing everything.
What nicotine strength are SKE Crystal pods?
All of them are 20mg per ml nicotine salt, which is the maximum strength permitted for sale in the UK. Each pod holds up to 2ml. Nicotine salt is used rather than freebase because it feels smoother in the throat at that strength in a small mouth to lung device.
