The SKE Bar 600 Puff Prefilled Pod Kit is SKE's rechargeable answer to the Crystal Bar disposable: a 500mAh USB-C device with a 2ml prefilled mesh coil pod giving up to 600 puffs of 20mg (2%) nicotine salt, sold complete for £3.95. Thirty-five flavours cover the Crystal Bar favourites, from Blue Razz Lemonade and Blueberry Sour Raspberry to Lemon Lime, Cola Ice and Tobacco, with a Full Box of 10 option on every flavour. Inhale to vape, charge when the light tells you, and swap the pod when it runs dry.

SKE is the company behind the Crystal Bar, the clear-bodied disposable that became one of the two or three most recognised vapes in Britain between 2022 and 2025. Its Blue Razz Lemonade, Lemon Lime and Blueberry Sour Raspberry became reference flavours that other brands were measured against, and the transparent chassis gave the brand an identity that survived the move away from disposables. When single-use vapes were banned across the UK on 1 June 2025, SKE rebuilt its line-up around rechargeable prefilled pod kits, and Hulme Vapes stocks the whole SKE prefilled range: the compact SKE Bar on this page, the mid-sized Crystal CL2000 and Crystal CL6000, the Crystal 4 in 1 revolving pod kit, and the high-capacity SKE Bar 15K and SKE 30K Pro Max.
The SKE Bar 600 is the direct replacement for the Crystal Bar disposable, and SKE kept the formula deliberately close. It is a prefilled pod kit: a 500mAh battery section with a USB-C port, and a sealed 2ml pod on top that contains both the 20mg (2%) nicotine salt e-liquid and a 1.2ohm mesh coil. The pod holds the UK legal maximum of 2ml and the liquid is at the legal maximum strength, so it delivers roughly 600 puffs, the same as the disposable it replaces. The difference is that when the pod is empty you recharge the battery and fit a new pod rather than binning the whole unit. There are no buttons: drawing on the mouthpiece fires the coil, and the airflow is fixed for a tight mouth-to-lung draw that feels close to a cigarette.
Within the SKE range the Bar 600 is the entry point. It is the smallest device, the cheapest kit and the shortest-lasting pod, which makes it the natural pick for occasional vapers, for trying a flavour before buying it in a bigger format, and for anyone who liked the original Crystal Bar and wants exactly that experience back. The CL2000 and CL6000 add bigger pods and batteries for daily use, and the Bar 15K and 30K Pro Max pair large refill containers with a long-life device for heavy vapers who want to buy once a month rather than once a week.
All 35 SKE Bar flavours share the same device, pod and 20mg (2%) strength, so the only decision is taste. The range leans heavily on fruit and ice, with a handful of drinks, candy and traditional options. Four families cover it.
Best for: ex-menthol smokers and anyone who wants a cold finish. This is the largest family in the range. Watermelon Ice, Mango Ice, Peach Ice, Cherry Ice, Banana Ice, Berry Ice, Cola Ice, Blueberry Peach Ice, Sour Apple Ice and Sour Pineapple Ice each pair one or two fruits with a cooling exhale, with Watermelon Ice and Mango Ice the two most-asked-for. Menthol is the straight traditional cool, Fresh Menthol Mojito adds lime and mint, and Bull Ice and VMT Ice are iced energy drink and iced Vimto-style blends. If a menthol cigarette was your brand, start with Menthol or Cherry Ice.
Best for: vapers coming straight from the Crystal Bar disposable. Blue Razz Lemonade is the SKE signature flavour and the single best seller on this page. Blueberry Sour Raspberry is its sharper sibling, Blueberry Raspberries is the straight two-berry version, Blue Fusion is a smooth all-blueberry blend, and Blueberry Cherry Cranberry adds a tart cranberry edge. Strawberry Raspberry, Strawberry Burst and Strawberry Blast cover the red berry side, with Burst the sweetest and Blast the most intense of the three. Fizzy Cherry is a sherbet cherry with a sparkling finish.
Best for: vapers who find ice too cold and want fruit on its own. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava is the best-known tropical blend in UK vaping and SKE's version is one of the most faithful. Pineapple Peach Mango, Lemon Peach Passion Fruit, Strawberry Kiwi, Watermelon Strawberry and Apple Peach are soft, sweet, uncooled fruit mixes, Green Grape is a crisp white grape, and Fruit Medley is a mixed fruit with a candy floss sweetness. These are the easiest all-day flavours in the range because nothing in them fatigues the palate.
Best for: first-time switchers and anyone who does not want a fruit vape. Lemon Lime is a clean citrus and, after Blue Razz Lemonade, the flavour SKE is best known for. Pink Lemonade is sweeter and rounder. Gami Rare is a gummy sweet, and Tobacco is the one non-fruit option for smokers who want a familiar taste rather than a flavour. If you are switching from cigarettes and unsure, Tobacco or Lemon Lime are the safest first kits.
Because every kit is a complete device for £3.95, the cheapest way to find a favourite is to buy three or four different flavours and keep the spare batteries charged as backups. Replacement SKE Bar 600 pods are made in the same flavours; Hulme Vapes does not currently list them separately, so the kit is the way to get a fresh pod and a fresh battery together.
Hulme Vapes stocks compact 600 puff kits and much larger prefilled systems side by side, so it is worth confirming the SKE Bar is the right size before buying. The cards below compare it with the closest alternatives we carry.




In short: choose the SKE Bar 600 if you want the smallest, cheapest way into SKE flavours, or if you vape lightly enough that a 2ml pod lasts you days rather than hours. Choose the CL2000 if you vape every day and would rather not change pods every other day, and the Bar 15K if you want to buy once and forget about it for weeks. The Firerose Rayo is the SKE Bar's closest rival in size and puff count; pick between them on flavour list, since the hardware is near identical. All four run 20mg (2%) nicotine salt and 2ml pods, so none is stronger than another.
The SKE Bar is designed so that someone who has only ever used a disposable can pick it up and vape within a minute. The one habit to learn is charging.
Inside the box are the SKE Bar device with its prefilled 2ml pod already fitted, and the packaging insert. The 500mAh battery ships part-charged and is usually ready to vape straight away. A USB-C cable is not included, so keep a phone charger lead handy.
Pull the silicone stopper from the mouthpiece and, on some batches, the sticker or plug from the base. These seal the pod in transit and the device will not draw properly until they are removed.
There is no fire button. Place the mouthpiece to your lips and draw; the indicator light comes on and the 1.2ohm mesh coil fires. Stop drawing and it stops. The airflow is fixed for a mouth-to-lung draw, so take steady three to four second puffs rather than long pulls.
A 500mAh cell outlasts a 2ml pod for most people, but if the light blinks and the device stops firing, plug a USB-C cable into the port on the base. Charging takes under an hour from flat; a 5V 1A phone charger is ideal, not a fast-charge laptop brick.
Around 600 puffs in, the flavour thins and the vapour lightens. That is the pod running dry. Stop vaping at that point rather than pushing on, since drawing on an empty pod gives a dry, unpleasant hit.
The pod pulls straight up out of the device. Fit a replacement SKE Bar 600 pod if you have one, or start a fresh £3.95 kit and keep the charged spare device as a backup. Recycle the empty pod and any retired device through a vape or small electricals recycling point.
Most people looking at the SKE Bar are coming from the SKE Crystal Bar disposable or a similar 600 puff single-use device. The table sets out what actually changes.
| Feature | SKE Bar 600 Prefilled Pod Kit | Single-use disposable vape |
|---|---|---|
| E-liquid handling | Prefilled sealed 2ml pod, nothing to fill | Prefilled and sealed, nothing to handle |
| Capacity per unit | 2ml, up to 600 puffs per pod | 2ml, around 600 puffs under UK rules |
| Flavour consistency | New mesh coil with every pod | Single coil for the life of the device |
| Setup | Remove stoppers, inhale | Remove from box, inhale |
| Ongoing cost | £3.95 per kit; the battery is reused | Full device price every 600 puffs |
| Battery | 500mAh, USB-C rechargeable | Non-rechargeable in the banned format |
| Flavour variety | 35 flavours, swap at every pod change | Locked to one flavour per device |
| Maintenance | Charge the battery; no coils, no filling | None |
| UK legal status | Legal: rechargeable, replaceable pod, 2ml and 20mg compliant | Banned from sale since 1 June 2025 |
| Best suited for | Light to moderate vapers who want disposable simplicity without the waste | No longer available in the UK |
The SKE Bar is not user-refillable: the pod is a sealed unit and is not designed to be opened or topped up with bottled e-liquid. Vapers who want to fill their own pods should look at a refillable pod kit from the vape kits range and pair it with SKE Crystal Salts for the same flavours in a 10ml bottle.
The flavour list is the Crystal Bar list, the size is the same, and the draw is the same mouth-to-lung style. This is the direct, legal successor.
No buttons, no coils, no bottles, £3.95 to find out whether a 20mg (2%) salt suits you: the SKE Bar asks the least of a beginner of any kit we stock.
If a 2ml pod lasts you a weekend rather than a day, a bigger kit is wasted money and a drawer of half-used pods. The SKE Bar matches your pace.
Try a flavour here for £3.95 before committing to it in the CL6000 or Bar 15K format, where one pod costs more and lasts weeks.
Our SKE stock comes through authorised UK distribution, so every SKE Bar is genuine, correctly labelled and backed by the manufacturer.
All 35 SKE Bar flavours alongside the CL2000, CL6000, Bar 15K, 30K Pro Max, refill pod packs and SKE Crystal Salts, so your whole SKE setup comes from one order.
Our Manchester team can talk you through flavour choice, charging and which SKE kit fits your usage before or after you buy.
Order before 12pm for same-day dispatch with tracked delivery, free on orders over £50: thirteen SKE Bar kits clear the threshold.
Two numbers matter: how long a pod lasts and how long a charge lasts. The pod is rated at up to 600 puffs from its 2ml of liquid. A moderate vaper taking 200 to 300 puffs a day will get two to three days from one pod; a heavy vaper at 400 or more puffs a day will empty it in a day and a half; a light or social vaper can stretch a pod across a week. Puff ratings are approximate and based on average usage conditions, and long, hard draws use more liquid per puff than the short mouth-to-lung puffs the device is tuned for.
The 500mAh battery is sized to outlast the pod for most users, so in normal use you will change the pod before you need to charge. Heavy vapers may need one top-up per pod. Because the coil is replaced with the pod, there is no slow decline in flavour across weeks of use: the pod tastes the same on puff 500 as on puff 50, then thins quickly over the last few dozen puffs when the liquid runs out.
In cost terms, £3.95 for 600 puffs is the same price per puff as the disposable it replaces, but with a reusable battery. Stored in its box out of direct sunlight, an unopened SKE Bar keeps its flavour for many months, which is why the Full Box of 10 option on every flavour makes sense for anyone who has already settled on a favourite.
The SKE Bar is built to the UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TPD). The pod holds 2ml, the maximum capacity for a nicotine-containing tank or pod, and the liquid is 20mg/ml (2%), the maximum strength permitted. UK law also requires every nicotine-containing pod and e-liquid to be notified to the MHRA before sale, and single-use vapes have been banned from sale across the UK since 1 June 2025, which is why the Crystal Bar now ships as this rechargeable kit with a replaceable pod rather than as a disposable. From 1 October 2026 the UK Vaping Products Duty of £2.20 per 10ml also applies to vaping liquid entering the supply chain, so expect prefilled pod pricing across the market to move as duty-paid stock arrives.
Care is simple: keep the device dry, charge it with a standard USB-C cable from a 5V phone charger rather than a fast-charge laptop brick, and store spare kits sealed in their box away from heat and sunlight. Do not attempt to open or refill the pod. If the device stops firing, check that the stoppers are removed and the pod is seated, then charge it, before assuming a fault.
As with all nicotine-containing products, the SKE Bar 600 carries the risk of nicotine dependency and may cause irritation for some users. Vaping products are intended for existing adult smokers and vapers and should be used responsibly.
At £3.95 a kit the SKE Bar is the cheapest way to try several flavours, and every flavour carries a Full Box of 10 option for anyone who has settled on a favourite. Three different flavours come to £11.85 and give you three charged devices to rotate, which keeps any single flavour from fatiguing and leaves spare batteries for the day one runs flat. Thirteen kits clear the £50 free delivery threshold; mixing in a CL6000 or a bottle of SKE Crystal Salts for a refillable gets there faster.
Once you own a device, only the pod needs replacing: the battery and body are retained. SKE makes SKE Bar 600 replacement pods in the kit flavours; Hulme Vapes does not currently list them separately, and at £3.95 for a complete kit the difference between a pod and a kit is small enough that most customers simply buy kits and bank the spare batteries. If you expect to vape more than a pod a day, the sums favour moving up to the CL6000, where a single pod lasts far longer per pound. The prefilled pod kit sale lists current reductions on kits across every brand we stock.
Yes. It is a rechargeable kit with a replaceable 2ml pod and 20mg (2%) liquid, both within UK TPD limits. The June 2025 ban applies to single-use disposables, which is exactly what the SKE Bar replaced.
Up to 600 puffs per 2ml pod. Real-world counts depend on how long and how often you draw; two to three days of moderate vaping is a fair expectation from one pod.
Yes. It has a 500mAh built-in battery that charges over USB-C in under an hour. A cable is not included in the box, so use any standard USB-C phone lead.
No. The pod is a sealed unit and is not designed to be opened or topped up with bottled liquid. When it runs dry, fit a new pod or start a new kit. For refillable vaping, pair a refillable pod kit with SKE Crystal Salts.
Every pod is 20mg/ml (2%) nicotine salt, the UK maximum. There is no lower strength option on this device; vapers who want 10mg should look at SKE Crystal Salts in a refillable kit.
Every flavour is £3.95 as a single complete kit at Hulme Vapes, and each flavour also has a Full Box of 10 option on the product page for stocking up.
It is a regulated, TPD-compliant product, but like all nicotine products it carries a risk of nicotine dependency and may cause irritation for some users. It is for adults aged 18 and over who already smoke or vape, and should be kept away from children.
A burnt taste almost always means the pod is empty: stop and change it. A weak draw on a fresh pod usually means a stopper is still in place or the pod is not fully seated; a blinking light with no vapour means the battery needs charging.
If you are moving from cigarettes or from a disposable and are not sure whether a compact kit like the SKE Bar or a larger prefilled system suits you better, our UK team can help via the contact page: describe what you smoke or vape now and we will suggest a flavour and a format. The nicotine strength guide explains why 20mg (2%) nicotine salt is the standard for prefilled pods and how it compares with the strengths on a cigarette packet. For the rest of the SKE line-up, the SKE range page sets out every kit from the Bar 600 up to the 30K Pro Max.
The SKE Bar sits at the entry of the SKE range and inside the full prefilled pod kit category. These collections are the natural next stops.
