Device Compatibility & Performance: Getting the Best from Your SKE Salts
Here's where things get properly technical, but I'll keep it simple. SKE Nic Salts work best in
pod vape kits
designed for
nic salt liquids
. The key is finding a device that can handle the 50/50 blend without flooding or burning out coils too quickly.
For MTL vaping (which is what most ex smokers prefer), you want something with a tight draw and coils rated between 0.8Ω to 1.4Ω. This gives you that cigarette like experience with proper throat hit and flavour intensity.
If you're more into RDL vaping, look for slightly lower resistance coils (0.4Ω to 0.8Ω) that can handle a bit more airflow while still delivering those bold SKE flavours without muting them.
Pro tip from someone who's burned through more coils than he cares to admit
: Always prime your new coils for at least 10 minutes before firing. SKE Nic Salts are thick enough that they need proper saturation time. Rush this step, and you'll get that horrible burnt taste that'll put you right off.
The Real Cost of Switching from Disposables
Let's talk numbers because this is where it gets interesting. The average disposable user in the UK was spending roughly £12 per week, that's two Crystal Bars lasting about 3 to 4 days each. Over a year, you were looking at £624 just for the vapes themselves.
Now, compare that to using SKE Nic Salts in a refillable system. A 10ml bottle gives you roughly the same amount of liquid as 5 to 6 disposables, depending on your usage. At £1.99 per bottle from Ecigone, that same weekly vaping habit costs you about £2.50 in liquid plus maybe 50p for coil replacement, so roughly £3 per week instead of £12.
That's a saving of £468 per year. Mental numbers, right?
But here's the kicker, it's not just about the money. Each disposable created about 15g of plastic waste. If you were going through two per week, that was 1.56kg of plastic waste annually. Switch to refillables with SKE Nic Salts, and you're looking at maybe 100g of packaging waste for the whole year. Proper environmental win without sacrificing those familiar flavours.
Expert Tips for Getting the Most from SKE Nic Salts
After a decade in this game, I've learned a few tricks that make all the difference:
Storage matters more than you think.
Keep your bottles in a dark cupboard below 25°C. Light and heat are the enemies of flavour compounds. I've seen perfectly good nic salts turn nasty just because someone left them on a sunny windowsill.
These don't need steeping like complex flavours.
SKE Nic Salts are designed to be punchy straight out the bottle, just like their disposable counterparts. No waiting around, just shake and vape.
Don't chain vape beyond 5 seconds.
Nic salts hit harder and faster than freebase nicotine. If you're coming from cigarettes, start with shorter puffs and see how you feel. These 20mg salts pack a proper punch, especially with these bold flavour profiles.
Mix and match strengths for gradual reduction.
This is something we recommend at Ecigone all the time, if you're trying to reduce nicotine intake, buy both 10mg and 20mg bottles of the same flavour. Start your day with 20mg, switch to 10mg after lunch. Gradual reduction that actually works.
