While this guide focuses on the most popular SKE product, the SKE Crystal Bar disposable vape, several other devices are available. Some SKE vapes are not available in the UK as they do not meet TPD compliance regulations. Here are some of the other models from this innovative brand.

SKE Amare Crystal One Disposable Vape

The SKE Amare Crystal One Disposable Vape is the next-generation SKE vape and comes in a compact box design. The Amare delivers incredible flavour and lasting taste with a powerful mesh coil.

SKE Crystal Plus Pod

The SKE Crystal Plus Pod is a rechargeable vape device that uses interchangeable SKE Crystal pods. It's a great alternative to single-use SKE vapes (and an eco-friendly option, too!) and a great option for those looking to sample a wide range of flavours.

SKE created the popular Crystal Bar disposable as a way to deliver a simple yet high-quality vaping experience. With no need for precharging, prefilling, or even pressing a button to activate the device, it sets the standard for hassle-free vaping. Design-wise, the SKE Crystal Bar is compact and stylish, leaning into the ‘crystal’ aesthetic with a cool metallic two-toned design.

Each vape is prefilled with 2ml of nic-salt e-liquid, perfectly formulated by the SKE team to deliver around 600 puffs of smooth vapour. The 1.2ohm mesh coil is designed to maximise flavour production, with a huge range of blends, including classic tobacco, fresh mint and plenty of unique fruity concoctions to delight your tastebuds. In short, the SKE Crystal Bar strips back the need for fuss and complication; it’s a straightforward vape that’s designed to deliver.

The Crystal Bar is inhale-activated, which means that vapers simply need to inhale on the mouthpiece to start vaping. The built-in battery powers a heating element that heats the e-liquid and produces the vapour. Thanks to the mesh coil, the SKE Crystal Bar produces consistent, flavourful vapour from the first to the last draw. When the vape is empty, it will stop producing vapour and can be discarded and replaced with a new device.

Yes. We believe the Crystal Bar is a fantastic choice for new vapers thanks to the user-friendly design and wide range of flavours. The inhale-activation technology is designed to replicate the feel of smoking a traditional cigarette, with no need to remember complicated instructions or set-up adjustments.

We think the Crystal Bar is an excellent choice for vapers who were previously heavy smokers. With 2ml of 20mg nic-salt liquid, it produces a smooth throat hit that is quickly absorbed, ideal for satisfying cravings. With a wide range of flavours to choose from, including classic tobacco, it’s an excellent option for smokers looking to quit cigarettes.

The SKE Crystal Bar is one of the most popular disposable vapes in the UK and definitely holds its own against other leading brands such as Elf Bar and Elux. With 49 flavours to choose from, it offers one of the larger flavour blends on the market, with something to suit every vaper. The Crystal Bar is fully TPD compliant and is crafted using high-quality materials and premium pre-filled e-liquid. Longevity-wise, the Crystal Bar offers around 600 puffs per device, the standard for UK disposable vapes. The mesh coil technology ensures that each of these puffs contains delicious flavour, with satisfaction in every draw.

The Crystal Bar is a mouth-to-lung (MTL) device, which means that it won’t produce as much vapour as direct lung (DL) vaping or sub-ohm devices. However, it is designed for exceptional flavour production, and a satisfying throat hit, making it ideal for those looking for a more discreet vape that still packs a punch.

The main ingredients in a Crystal Bar disposable vape are Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG), nicotine, and food-grade flavourings. All of the ingredients are industry standard and blend together to create a desirable throat hit. The SKE Crystal Bar does not contain any of the harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes; however, the device does contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance.

Across their entire range, SKE Crystal offer a massive selection of flavours to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for something fruity, minty or a taste that replicates that of a cigarette, there really is something for everyone. SKE’s fruity range includes popular flavours such as Lemon Lime, Blue Razz Lemonade and Sour Apple. Their menthol range adds an icy blast to some of the most popular fruit flavours such as Banana Ice, Fresh Menthol Mojito and Berry Ice. There are also popular desserts and sweet-based flavours including the likes of Gummy Bear and Strawberry Ice Cream which are perfect for curbing those sugary cravings.

Mesh coils are typically seen as an upgraded version of the standard wire coils widely used in e-cigarettes. The mesh coil acts as the heating element in the Crystal Bar vape, providing a larger surface area than its wire counterpart. This enables the liquid to be spread more evenly, delivering improved flavour and a longer-lasting device.

Always keep your disposable vape away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (hot & cold) to maintain the device's longevity; exposure to direct sunlight can also degrade the battery life. Always store your vape out of reach of children and animals.

Disposable vapes are designed for on-the-go vaping, making them the perfect option for travelling. SKE Crystal Bar vapes are also compact enough to fit in pockets and handbags, ideal for evenings out. It is vital that you take note of vaping rules and regulations when you travel and any restrictions on vaping if you leave the country.

If driving, it is currently legal to vape as you drive; however, it is important that you do not let vaping impact your driving ability. Excessive vapour clouds that impair vision are extremely dangerous and can lead to prosecution for driving without due care and attention.

If flying, you can take your vape on the airplane with you; either in your hand luggage or carried on your person. Under no circumstances can you vape while on an aeroplane. Those who do face severe financial penalties, a flying ban, and legal action. Don’t take the risk!

While vaping is a lot more socially accepted than traditional smoking, it is always best to take note of any rules regarding vaping indoors. Some public spaces, offices and private properties have placed bans on indoor vaping or have dedicated spaces for vapers to use.

The outer shell of the Crystal Bar is made from plastic, which is fully recyclable. However, the electrical components inside the device do complicate matters! We promote responsible vaping and always advise vapers to collect their disposable vapes and take them to a nearby electrical recycling point to ensure they are recycled properly.

If your device isn’t producing vapour, chances are the battery, or the e-liquid has run out. Once these have been depleted, it’s time to switch to a new device.

If that’s not the case, you may have a faulty device. If so, contact your retailer for assistance.

The biggest pet peeve for any vaper is the dreaded burnt taste. If you get this while vaping a Crystal Bar vape, it’s possible that there is no liquid left in the device, as the burnt taste comes from the wicking material around the coil. Before discarding your device, try turning it upside down for a few minutes to see if any more liquid can be soaked up before switching to a new one. 

The SKE Crystal Bar's simplistic design means there are limited reasons why the device wouldn’t work. If yours is ‘dead,’ then chances are the battery, or the e-liquid reservoir is empty. In this case, discard the vape and contact the retailer you purchased it from for assistance.

Like all high-quality disposable vapes, the SKE Crystal Bar is designed to be leak-proof. However, leaks can occur if your vape is dropped or damaged. If you notice your device leaking, stop using it immediately to avoid swallowing any e-liquid or getting it on clothes or furnishings. If yours is leaking, dispose of the device safely and switch to a new one.

If you use your Crystal Bar frequently, it is normal for the device to feel warm after use, thanks to the heat generated by the coil. We recommend letting your vape cool down between sessions to ensure the battery stays in top condition. If your vape feels excessively hot, there could be an issue with the battery. If so, dispose of your device and switch to a new one.

Each Crystal Bar contains 2ml of e-liquid, the equivalent of around 20 cigarettes. For average smokers, one Crystal Bar should last around 1-2 days. Heavier smokers may find that they deplete their vape much quicker and can use more than one device per day. It is important to keep track of your nicotine intake, especially if you are using vaping to stop smoking. Always vape responsibly.

Yes. Vaping is widely considered safer than smoking regular cigarettes and is recommended by the NHS as an effective quitting tool. SKE Crystal Bars are fully TPD compliant, which means they meet all standards set out by the government for sale in the UK. While we cannot say that Crystal Bars are 100% risk-free, they don’t contain the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.

Vaping has proven to be one of the most effective smoking cessation tools and one recommended by Public Health England as a way to kick the habit. Quitting smoking is a big decision; however, with willpower, the right support system and tools such as disposable vapes, you can set a clear path to eventually becoming nicotine-free.

Yes. SKE Crystal Bars comply with all regulations set out in the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). This governing board oversees the manufacture, presentation, and sale of tobacco-related products, ensuring all products meet their strict safety standards.
