SKE has long been known for its popular Crystal Bar 600 vapes — sleek, flavour-packed disposables that vapers love. But with the UK disposable vape ban taking effect in June 2025, many SKE fans are asking: What’s next?
The good news — you don’t have to say goodbye to your favourite SKE flavours or experience. SKE now offers a wide range of reusable, prefilled, and refillable vape kits that keep the same great taste while being more eco-friendly and affordable in the long run.
In this guide, we’ll explore the best SKE disposable vape alternatives and help you find the perfect kit for your needs.
🔹 Why Switch to a Pod Vape Kit?
Pod kits from SKE give you all the benefits of disposables — without the drawbacks. Here’s why they’re worth it:
-
🌍 Eco-friendly: Less plastic and lithium waste
-
💰 Cost-effective: Keep the battery, just replace the pods
-
😋 Same great flavours: Enjoy your favourite SKE tastes in a reusable form
💎 SKE Bar 600 & SKE Crystal Bar 600 Pro Prefilled Pod Kits
The SKE Bar 600 and Crystal Bar 600 Pro are the closest match to the original disposable experience. Both feature:
-
Compact, stylish batteries
-
500mAh capacity (around 600 puffs)
-
20mg nicotine salts
-
USB-C charging
The main difference? The Crystal Bar 600 Pro uses simple snap-in pods, while the SKE Bar 600 uses a pod that forms part of the outer shell — making replacement slightly trickier.
Pros:
✔️ Affordable
✔️ Sleek and portable
✔️ Huge range of flavours
Cons:
❌ No 10mg nicotine option
❌ The SKE Bar 600 pod system is fiddly
❌ USB cable not included
⚡ SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled Pod Kit
If you’re after more puffs and less hassle, the SKE Crystal CL6000 is your best bet.
With a massive 6000-puff capacity, a 2+10ml pod system, and rechargeable battery, this kit delivers long-lasting satisfaction. The mesh coil ensures consistent flavour from the first puff to the last, while the battery display helps you stay charged on the go.
Pros:
✔️ Extremely economical
✔️ Long-lasting battery and pod life
✔️ Compact, easy to use
Cons:
❌ No 10mg nicotine option
❌ Fixed power output
❌ Smaller flavour range

✔️ Adjustable airflow & refillable pods
Cons:
