What Is a Crystal Vape?
A Crystal vape is the rechargeable pod electronic cigarette from SKE that took over from the single-use Crystal Bar. Crystal vapes keep the crystal-cut body, the flavours and the easy mouth-to-lung draw of the original, but you charge an SKE Crystal vape over USB-C and click in a fresh pod when one empties instead of binning the whole device.
SKE first launched in 2013, and SKE Crystal Bars became some of the most popular disposable vapes in the UK after the 2022 release. When single-use vapes were banned across the UK on 1 June 2025, SKE moved the same flavours into the rechargeable Crystal pod kits sold today.
Are Crystal Vapes Rechargeable?
Yes. The newest SKE Crystal vapes are all rechargeable over USB-C and take a replaceable pod, so one kit lasts and you only change the pod. That is the difference from the old Crystal Bar, which was a sealed device you threw away once empty.
SKE Crystal Pod Kits
Four kits cover different pod sizes and puff counts:
To match pods to a kit you already own, the SKE Crystal pods collection sorts them by device.
SKE Crystal Flavours
The Crystal Bar flavours carry across every pod and the SKE Crystal nic salt e-liquid - fruit, ice, menthol and drink blends. Pods are 20mg nicotine salt e-liquids, with a 10mg option in the e-liquid for a softer throat hit.
