Really pleased with the order overall. Everything arrived as expected, well packed, fast dispatch.
SKEThe SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled Pod Kit Pack of 5 Blue Razz Lemonade by SKE in Blue Razz Lemonade at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled Pod Kit Pack of 5 is five complete CL6000 kits sold together as a single order. Each kit pairs a rechargeable SKE battery body with a prefilled nicotine salt pod, and each carries the CL6000 headline rating of 6,000 puffs. The pack is priced at £34.99, which comes to £7.00 per kit, against £8.99 for a single CL6000 kit bought on its own.
SKE is the company behind the Crystal Bar line, which became one of the better known names in UK vaping during the 600-puff disposable years. The CL6000 sits in the rechargeable pod category instead, and it is built to sit inside the rules that now apply here: a 2ml pod, a maximum of 20mg/ml nicotine, and a battery you recharge rather than throw away. Single-use vapes have been illegal to sell anywhere in the UK since 1 June 2025, and that change is the main reason pod kits like this one now occupy the shelf space disposables used to hold.
Each pack-of-5 listing covers one flavour, so you receive five matching kits. The family has ten flavours: Blue Razz Lemonade, Blueberry Raspberries, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Cherry Ice, Fizzy Cherry, Lemon and Lime, Pink Lemonade, Sour Pineapple, Strawberry Burst and Watermelon Ice. This page is the family overview and the flavour is chosen on the individual product page.
The essentials at a glance:
A note on how this page is written. Where SKE publishes a figure, such as the 6,000 puff rating, we quote it and say it is a manufacturer claim. Where SKE does not publish a figure, such as exact battery capacity or coil resistance, we describe what is typical for kits of this type and label it as typical. That keeps the page honest, and it means you can judge the product on realistic expectations rather than a number on the box.
The CL6000 name carries a claim, and it is worth being straight about what the claim means. A rating of 6,000 puffs is a manufacturer figure produced under machine-draw conditions. A UK pod is capped at 2ml, and 2ml of nicotine salt liquid delivers several hundred puffs at a normal pace, not several thousand. The pod range under this name is listed as Prefilled Pods and Refill Containers, and the kit is tagged as refillable in our catalogue. As we read it, that tells you how the 6,000 figure is reached: it assumes the kit is topped up over its life, not that one sealed 2ml pod lasts for 6,000 draws.
In practice, think of each kit as a device that keeps working for as long as its battery and coil hold up, with the supplied pod covering the first stretch of use. Realistic expectations look like this:
Vapour and throat hit are what you would expect from a nicotine salt pod kit. The draw is mouth-to-lung, meaning you pull vapour into your mouth first and inhale second, the way you would with a cigarette. Vapour volume is moderate and tidy, throat hit at 20mg is noticeable but smooth, and at 10mg it is softer and suits people who found stronger pods harsh.
Flavour delivery tends to be consistent for most of a pod. The common pattern is a strong first few days, a plateau, then a gradual fade in the last fifth of the liquid as the wick has less to draw on. If flavour drops suddenly while the pod still looks half full, that points to a coil or airflow problem rather than empty liquid, and the troubleshooting section further down covers it.
The pack format has a practical performance benefit. With five kits you can keep one in a bag, one at your desk and one at home, so you are never relying on a single battery that happens to be flat. Spreading use across several kits also means each coil sees fewer hours, which helps flavour hold up.
The CL6000 family is built around fruit, ice and sour sweets, which is where most UK demand sits. The descriptions below are drawn from the flavour names and the style SKE uses across its Crystal products, and individual palates will differ. Each pack-of-5 contains one flavour only.
If you are unsure how to choose, here is a rough guide. Pick the sweet berries (Blueberry Raspberries, Strawberry Burst) if you want an easy, rounded flavour. Pick the ice options (Cherry Ice, Watermelon Ice) if you want a cooler, more refreshing exhale. Pick the sour options (Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Sour Pineapple, Blue Razz Lemonade) if you get bored of sweetness quickly.
One practical point for a five-kit pack: you will vape the same flavour for weeks. Flavour fatigue is real, so if you have never tried a particular profile, a single kit at £8.99 is a cheap way to test before committing to the pack. The sweeter, more complex blends tend to wear on people faster than citrus or mild fruit-and-ice flavours.
SKE's Crystal range is known for a translucent shell finish, which is where the name comes from, and the CL6000 follows that look. The body is moulded plastic with a smooth, rounded profile that sits comfortably between two fingers and slips into a jeans pocket without catching. It is a light kit, which matters if you carry it all day, and the trade-off of that lightness is that it is a plastic device and should be treated as one.
The pod is the most important part of the build. It clicks into the top of the battery body and should seat firmly with a small but definite resistance. The mouthpiece is part of the pod, so every pod change also gives you a fresh mouthpiece. The translucent pod material generally lets you see the liquid level, which is useful because it lets you judge when a pod is close to empty before flavour starts to fade.
Build points to check when you open the pack:
Durability is realistic rather than exceptional. A kit like this will survive normal pocket and bag use, but it will not enjoy being dropped onto tile or sat on. Keep it out of a back pocket, and out of a bag with keys, and it should last the working life of its coil without cosmetic trouble. Heat is the other enemy: leaving a kit on a car dashboard in summer can thin the liquid, force it past the wick, and cause leaking.
Having five identical kits has one quiet benefit for build quality. If one unit turns out to have a seating or charging fault straight out of the box, you have four others while the faulty one is sorted under the returns process, rather than being left with nothing.
SKE does not publish the CL6000 battery capacity prominently. Rechargeable pod kits at this level typically carry a cell in the region of 500 to 650mAh, and that is the range to expect rather than a confirmed specification. A cell of that size usually runs through around one 2ml pod on a charge, give or take, depending on how hard you draw. Charging is over USB, with USB-C the norm on current SKE kits, so check the port on your unit.
Practical charging notes:
Battery wear is gradual. After a few months of daily charging, lithium cells lose some capacity and you will charge more often. The kit does not need a cycle of full discharge to keep the battery healthy, and topping up at 20 to 30 per cent is better for the cell than running it to empty each time.
Recycling matters here because a rechargeable kit contains a lithium-ion cell that must not go in household bins or general recycling. Lithium batteries can ignite in bin lorries and waste facilities, and fires from discarded vapes are a documented problem across the UK. When a CL6000 kit reaches the end of its life, take it to a proper drop-off point:
Used pods can go in the same electricals stream where your local scheme accepts them. With a five-kit pack you will be recycling five devices over time, so it is worth keeping a small bag by the door and taking them all in one trip.
The CL6000 uses a closed pod design: a sealed 2ml cartridge of nicotine salt e-liquid with the coil built into the pod. You do not choose a coil or screw anything together. When the pod is spent, or the coil has worn, you replace the whole pod. This is the simplest format in vaping, and it is the reason these kits suit people who want no fuss.
SKE does not publish coil resistance or a coil type for the CL6000. Kits in the 6,000-puff tier commonly use a mesh coil, a flat sheet of woven metal that heats a wide area of the wick, in the region of 0.8 to 1.2 ohms. Treat that as typical for the category, not a quoted specification. Mesh coils generally offer these characteristics:
The e-liquid is a nicotine salt formulation. Salt nicotine is absorbed faster than freebase and feels noticeably smoother at higher strengths, which is why 20mg is manageable in a small device while the same strength in freebase would be harsh. The base liquid is the usual blend of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, with flavouring and nicotine. Propylene glycol carries the flavour and the throat hit, while glycerine contributes vapour and body.
A few coil care points that apply to every closed pod:
UK rules also shape this section. Refill bottles of nicotine liquid are limited to 10ml, pods and tanks to 2ml, and nicotine strength to 20mg/ml. Any pod that exceeds those limits is not a legal UK product, so be wary of imports sold outside normal retail channels.
SKE makes the CL6000 range in 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt strengths. Because the pack-of-5 listing varies by flavour and strength, check the strength shown on the product page before you order, and treat the label on the pod as the final word. The UK limit is 20mg/ml, which is 2 per cent, and it applies to every nicotine vape product sold here. That cap was the same for disposables when they were still legal, and it is the reason 20mg is the top option on almost every pod kit.
How to choose:
A common mistake is choosing the lower strength to feel more cautious, then chain vaping to compensate. If you find you are drawing on the kit constantly, the strength is probably too low for your needs, and moving up is more sensible than puffing harder. The reverse also applies. If you feel lightheaded, slightly sick or jittery, you are taking in more nicotine than you want, and a lower strength is the fix.
For people stepping down over time, the usual path is 20mg, then 10mg, then lower strengths if you wish. A pack of five is a long enough supply to settle at one strength. If you are unsure, buy a single kit in each strength first, since the cost is small compared with committing to a pack you may not like.
A few safety points. Nicotine is addictive. These products are for adults who already use nicotine, and they are not for non-smokers, young people, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or diabetes, or you take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before switching. Our pods are sold under the UK rules requiring a health warning on the pack, and you should keep the leaflet.
A five-kit pack is a specific purchase. It makes sense for some vapers and very little sense for others, so here is the honest breakdown.
This pack suits:
You should skip it if:
There is also a middle group worth naming. If you are a light, occasional vaper who might use one kit in three months, a five-kit pack will sit in a drawer and the savings per kit mean nothing. The pack rewards regular use. It is worth it if you will actually finish five kits, and not worth it if you will not.
Finally, remember the legal age. Vape products are for adults aged 18 and over, and we check age at checkout and on delivery. A pack bought for someone underage is a legal problem for the person who buys it.
The CL6000 is built for minimal setup. This is the step-by-step routine for a fresh kit from the pack.
If you are refilling, which the CL6000 pod system allows according to the product naming, take extra care. Use nicotine salt liquid at or below 20mg/ml, pour slowly into the fill port, and stop before the liquid reaches the top so you do not flood the airflow channel. Wipe any spills from the pod and body, and wait a few minutes before using the kit. Refilling can extend the life of a pod, but each coil has a limited life of its own, and a worn coil will taste burnt whatever you put in it.
When to replace the pod:
Using five kits in rotation is a simple way to reduce wear. Alternate between two kits in the same week and the coils get a rest, the batteries cycle more evenly, and you are less likely to run flat at a bad time. Keep spare kits in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets.
Most pod kit problems have simple causes. Work through these before assuming the kit is faulty.
Safety comes first with any lithium battery device. If a kit gets unusually hot in use, makes a hissing or popping sound, swells, or smells of burning, stop using it, put it somewhere non-flammable such as a stone floor or a metal tray, and contact the retailer. Do not charge it or recycle it in household bins.
If you have worked through the list and the kit still does not work, a fault from new is covered by the usual consumer rights on goods of satisfactory quality. Keep your order number and take a clear photo of the issue, and contact our customer service team with both.
Price is the main reason to buy a five-pack, so here are the numbers on the current listings.
The pack saves £9.96 compared with five singles at full price, and £7.99 compared with using the three-for-£25 deal and then buying two more. Per kit, you are paying £1.99 less than the single price, a saving of about 22 per cent. The single kits do have one advantage, which is that they let you mix flavours, and you will pay for that flexibility.
On the headline rating, 30,000 puffs for £34.99 works out at roughly 0.12p per puff. That is a theoretical figure, because the 6,000 rating is a manufacturer claim and real-world use will be lower. A fairer way to think about running cost is by time: if each kit lasts you two to three weeks, the pack covers around ten to fifteen weeks of vaping at £7.00 a kit, or roughly £2.30 to £3.50 a week.
Other costs to include:
How it compares with the longer term options. A refillable pod system has a higher setup cost, typically £15 to £30, but bottled nicotine salt liquid costs far less per millilitre than liquid sold inside a prefilled pod, so heavy users save money over a year. A prefilled kit costs more per millilitre in exchange for zero maintenance. For a light-to-moderate vaper who values convenience, that trade is usually reasonable. For a heavy vaper chasing the lowest bill, it is not.
Value also depends on waste. If you are unsure about the flavour and end up with four kits you do not use, the saving is gone. Buy the pack when you know what you like, and test with a single kit when you do not.
Fair comparisons are only possible within the same category, and the CL6000 is a closed, prefilled, draw-activated pod kit with a rechargeable battery. Here is how it stacks up against the alternatives most buyers consider.
Where the CL6000 is weaker than some alternatives: it gives less control, a smaller battery than a refillable mod, and the 6,000 puff claim is a rating that needs context. Where it is stronger: it needs no setup, it is simple to use, the flavour range is wide at ten options, and the pack price per kit is competitive with the single-kit price of comparable products.
One caution on comparing puff counts. Ratings above a few hundred puffs on a single 2ml pod are not directly comparable across brands, because each brand tests differently and several count refill capacity. When two kits claim 6,000 and 10,000 puffs, you should not conclude that one lasts two thirds longer. Compare price per kit, flavour, battery size and how the replacement pods are priced instead.
Overall, the CL6000 pack is a sensible mainstream choice for adults who want a simple rechargeable kit in a wide range of flavours and who will actually use five of them. It is not the right pick if you are chasing control, the lowest running cost, or a product with strong third-party testing data, since those are things we cannot claim for it.

SKE Crystal was the disposable brand everyone copied in the UK, and today SKE Bar and Crystal Pro keep that flavour library alive in reload-pod form. Expect pin-sharp fruit and ice combinations with a consistent 20mg nic-salt hit.
Choose 20mg if you smoked around ten or more cigarettes a day and are switching fully, and 10mg if you are a lighter or social smoker or stepping down. The UK limit for nicotine vapes is 20mg/ml, so 20mg is the top option. If you are unsure, buy a single kit first and check the strength on the pod label.
Charge it over USB, using a standard 5V charger or a computer port, on a hard surface and not unattended overnight. A full charge typically takes somewhere around 40 to 60 minutes, though SKE does not publish an exact figure. Check the port type on your unit, as current SKE kits generally use USB-C.
No. Each pack-of-5 listing is a single flavour, so you get five matching kits. If you want to mix flavours, buy single kits at £8.99, or the three-for-£25 multibuy, and choose a different flavour for each.
It depends on your use. The headline rating is 6,000 puffs per kit, but a sealed UK 2ml pod gives a few hundred puffs on its own, with the higher figure assuming refills. A moderate vaper using one kit every two to three weeks would get roughly ten to fifteen weeks from the pack.
On the current listings, yes. The pack costs £34.99, which is £7.00 per kit, against £8.99 for a single kit and £8.33 each on the three-for-£25 deal. That saves £9.96 compared with five singles at full price, as long as you will actually use five kits in the same flavour.
It suits adult smokers and existing vapers who want a simple, rechargeable pod kit and are happy with one flavour. It does not suit non-smokers, under 18s, people wanting adjustable airflow or power, or anyone who has not tried the flavour before. You must be 18 or over to buy.
Yes, replacement pods and refill containers for the CL6000 are listed separately in the SKE range, currently at £5.99 on that listing. Check what the price covers before you order. Use only pods made for the CL6000, because pods from other systems will not fit or work safely.
Yes, we deliver to UK addresses only, and an adult aged 18 or over must be available to receive the parcel. Delivery options, timings and costs are shown at the basket and checkout, so you can see them before paying. We cannot ship vape products outside the UK.
A kit that arrives faulty, damaged or not as described is covered by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Contact customer service with your order number and a clear photo of the fault. For hygiene reasons opened vape products are not normally accepted back unless faulty, so check the returns page for the full terms.
Never put it in household bins or general recycling, because the lithium battery can cause fires. Take it to a retailer that offers vape take-back, to a council household waste recycling centre, or to a small electricals collection point. A postcode finder such as Recycle Your Electricals will show your nearest drop-off.

Really pleased with the order overall. Everything arrived as expected, well packed, fast dispatch.
Ordered Wednesday evening, arrived Thursday morning. Everything sealed, genuine, exactly what I expected.
Taste is proper — no chemical aftertaste or anything. Just clean flavour throughout. Love it.
Been looking for something like this for ages. Finally found a brand that doesn't disappoint.
Switched from a well-known brand and this is actually better, especially for the price. Will reorder.
Delivery was super fast and the product is genuine. I've had fakes before so this was a relief.
