SKE Bar 600 Banana Ice in short

The SKE Bar 600 Banana Ice is a prefilled 600 puff bar that lays soft, ripe banana over a cool menthol base, and it sits on the shelf at £4.99 in a choice of 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt. Nothing about it asks for setup. There is no coil to prime, no bottle to pour, no wattage to think about. You unwrap it, draw on it, and the flavour is already exactly where it should be.

SKE built its UK reputation on hardware that behaves predictably at a low price, and the brand now runs to 248 SKE products in our catalogue. The Bar 600 is the entry point to all of that. It is the format most adults meet first, and it is the one plenty of people keep coming back to when they want something uncomplicated for a night out, a work shift or a weekend away.

Because it is a prefilled, closed format, the e-liquid inside was decided at the factory and cannot be changed. That quietly removes the two things that most often trip up newer vapers: putting the wrong liquid in the wrong device, and running a coil dry before it has soaked. Here the VG ratio, the salt base and the flavour loading were all fixed before the bar reached you, so one Banana Ice performs like the last one and the one after that.

Banana Ice on the palate, note by note

Banana is one of the harder fruits to get right in an e-liquid, because it can drift in two unhelpful directions. Push the sweetness too far and it reads as thick banana milkshake. Pull it back too far and it turns into the artificial banana sweets from a pick and mix counter. Banana Ice aims for the space between those two, landing closer to a properly ripe piece of fruit: creamy through the body, faintly floral at the edges, sweet without collapsing into confectionery.

The ice half of the name does structural work rather than simply adding a chill. Menthol thins out the weight that banana carries on its own, so the exhale finishes clean instead of coating the roof of your mouth. That is exactly why banana and cold get paired so often across the category, and why so many banana e-liquids arrive with a frost attached to the name.

In use the sequence runs like this. The inhale is soft and rounded with very little bite. The middle of the draw is where the banana sits fullest and creamiest. The exhale is where the menthol arrives and sweeps the palate clear again, ready for the next one. It is a mild cold rather than a sharp arctic blast, which is what lets it work as an all day flavour rather than something you dip into for ten minutes and then abandon.

If you already enjoy banana milk, banana bread or banana with a scoop of ice cream, this will read as familiar. If your only reference point is medicinal banana flavouring, this is a long way from that.

Why a 600 puff bar still makes sense

A 600 puff rating is not an engineering coincidence, it is what UK regulation produces. Prefilled tanks and pods sold here are capped at 2ml of e-liquid, and 2ml of a nicotine salt blend works out at roughly 600 draws of ordinary use. Every compliant prefilled bar on a British shelf therefore lands in the same place, which means the honest comparison between them is flavour, build consistency and price, never a headline puff number.

What 600 puffs means in your week depends entirely on you. A light user who reaches for it a handful of times an hour can stretch one across several days. Somebody using it as their only nicotine through a long shift will get through it considerably faster. Most adults find a single bar covers somewhere between one and three days, which is why people generally pick up two or three at a time rather than a single unit.

The other half of the appeal is size. A 600 fits a jacket pocket without a bulge, it does not need a cable packed alongside it, and it is cheap enough that leaving one in a taxi is annoying rather than expensive. Those are unglamorous virtues, but they are the reason this format refuses to die out even as the rest of the market chases ever larger devices.

10mg against 20mg, and how to decide

Both strengths are stocked, and 20mg is the legal ceiling for nicotine in UK e-liquid, so there is no stronger version to go hunting for elsewhere. The choice really is just these two.

The salt formulation changes how those numbers feel. Nicotine salt is noticeably smoother in the throat than freebase nicotine at the same figure on the label, which is precisely what makes 20mg comfortable in a small mouth to lung device like this one. If your only previous experience was freebase liquid in a larger kit, do not assume 20mg here will be harsh. It generally is not.

Lean towards 20mg if

• you were a regular daily smoker and want the draw to actually register
• you find yourself puffing constantly on lower strengths without feeling settled
• this bar is your main nicotine source rather than an occasional one

Lean towards 10mg if

• you were a light or purely social smoker
• higher strengths have felt heavy or made you cough before
• you simply prefer a gentler draw and are happy to vape a little more often

If you genuinely cannot decide, buy one of each and pay attention to your own behaviour rather than the label. Reaching for the device every few minutes usually points to a strength that is too low, not too high.

How it fits alongside the rest of the SKE catalogue

SKE does not stop at bars. At the other end of the brand's line up sit the prefilled replacement pods, including SKE 30K Pro Max Pods Berry Edition at £8.99, with stablemates such as Blue Razz Lemonade and Blueberry Cherry Cranberry at the same price.

Those pods are not a straight replacement for this bar, they are a different way of buying. A pod system asks you to own a device first and then feed it, which costs more at the start and less per week afterwards. A bar asks nothing up front at all. Plenty of adults quite happily run both: a pod device at home and at the desk, and a Bar 600 in a coat pocket for evenings out where losing something cheap matters far less than losing something expensive.

If you are weighing the two approaches properly, the closed pod kits and starter vape kits pages put the options side by side so you can see the up front cost against the running cost. There is no universally correct answer. There is only what suits how often you vape and how much fuss you are willing to tolerate.

Building a rotation from the SKE Bar flavour list

Banana Ice is one entry on a long flavour list, and the rest of that list leans hard into berries, cold fruit and sharper sweets. Alongside Banana Ice you will find Berry Lemonade, Black Mamba, Blackberry Ice, Blackberry Raspberry, Blackcurrant Juice, Blackcurrant Lemonade, Blue Frozen, Blue Fusion, Blue Razz Blackcurrant, Blue Razz Cherry and Blue Razz Fruit Twist.

That spread matters more than it might look, because of a thing every long term vaper eventually runs into. Stay on one flavour exclusively and your palate stops registering it properly after a few days. The liquid has not changed, your nose has simply stopped paying attention. The usual fix is a rotation of two or three that sit in different families, so each one still reads as new when you come back to it.

Banana Ice pairs particularly well with a sharp counterpart, because creamy and tart occupy opposite ends of the palate. A blackcurrant or a blue razz option resets things nicely between banana sessions. Running Banana Ice against another creamy or sweet flavour tends to blur, and you lose the contrast that makes the rotation work in the first place.

A practical approach: keep one soft flavour, one sharp fruit and one straight menthol or ice option in circulation. Three bars covers a fortnight for most people and stops any single one going stale on you.

Small habits that keep the last puffs tasting right

Prefilled bars need almost no maintenance, but a few habits genuinely change how the final third tastes.

• Heat is the enemy. A car dashboard in summer or a windowsill in direct sun will thin the liquid, and thinner liquid can seep past seals. Room temperature, upright, in a bag or pocket is all it wants.
• Draw gently rather than hard. This is a mouth to lung device. A slow, steady two or three second pull gives the wick time to keep up. Yanking on it aggressively pulls more air than liquid and can leave a dry, papery note behind.
• Space your draws. Six or seven puffs back to back with no pause is the single most common cause of a flat or scorched taste. Twenty or thirty seconds between draws is plenty.
• Warm it in your hand in the cold. Liquid thickens at low temperatures. A minute in a warm palm after a walk in January usually restores the flavour that seemed to have vanished.
• Read the burnt taste correctly. On a prefilled bar, a harsh or scorched note near the end almost always means the liquid is running out rather than that the unit is faulty. That is the device telling you it is finished.

When it is done, do not put it in a household bin. Devices containing batteries belong in electrical recycling, and most UK supermarkets and council tips take them free of charge.

Price, dispatch and the 18+ rules

At £4.99 a unit the Bar 600 sits at the affordable end of the shelf, and there is no multibuy attached to this particular line, so the price you see is the price per bar however many you take. Multibuy offers do exist elsewhere in the range, so it is worth checking the deals section if you are stocking up broadly.

On getting it to you: weekday orders that reach us before the 4pm cut off are picked, packed and handed to the carrier that same afternoon, and anything after that joins the following working day's run. Once your basket total goes past £20 the UK postage line drops to zero, which in practice means a handful of bars plus a bottle or a pack of pouches usually gets you there without trying.

Everything we ship is genuine stock bought through proper UK distribution. We do not deal in grey market imports, unlabelled units or anything that skips the compliance paperwork, because on a product you inhale that is not a corner worth cutting.

Finally, the part that is not negotiable. This is an 18+ product and we are an 18+ retailer. Every order goes through an age check before it is released, we will ask for confirmation if that check cannot be completed automatically, and we will refuse and refund an order rather than send nicotine to anybody under age. Please also keep bars away from children and pets at home, since the liquid inside is not harmless if swallowed.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

Ordering is deliberately simple. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. Delivery choices, including tracked services, appear at checkout.

We cannot resell an opened consumable, so opened items are outside the returns policy. Anything faulty or wrongly sent is our problem to fix, not yours. Age verification applies to every order, and unverified orders are refunded rather than sent.

Nicotine is an addictive substance and these products are intended for adults who already smoke or vape.

Buying this as a first purchase

If this is your first order with us, a few things are worth knowing before you commit.

1. Format. A prefilled pod is the no-mess option. Bottled e-liquid costs less per millilitre if you do not mind refilling.
2. Strength. This comes in 10mg and 20mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. You are looking at Banana Ice. Pick a second from a different family so you have something to rotate to.

Everything else is preference rather than a decision that costs you money. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

Most complaints about flavour come down to handling rather than the product.

• Prime before the first draw. Click the pod in and leave it a minute. Drawing on a dry wick is what causes that scorched first hit.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

These are small habits that pay back in flavour consistency.

Most regulars run two flavours in rotation rather than one.

Building a rotation instead of buying one thing

Experienced vapers rarely buy one flavour in bulk, and new ones almost always do. Palate fatigue sets in faster than people expect. A profile you loved on day one can taste flat by day ten, not because the product changed but because your palate stopped noticing it.

Rotation solves it entirely. Keep two profiles from genuinely different families on the go, and alternate between them. Something sweet paired with something sharp, or a fruit paired with a menthol, resets the palate each time you switch. Two flavours in rotation will each last noticeably longer than either would alone.

Within this line alone there are options to pair with:

• Black Mamba
• Blackcurrant Juice
• Blue Frozen
• Blue Fusion
• Blue Razz Fruit Twist
• Berry Lemonade

Multibuy offers make this cheap to do, and they can be mixed across flavours.

What changed when disposables were banned

This category was rebuilt in a very short space of time. Single-use disposable vapes were banned in the UK, and the market replaced them with rechargeable devices that take replaceable pods. The experience is deliberately similar: prefilled, no measuring, no mess. The difference is that the battery survives the flavour, so you replace a pod for a couple of pounds rather than the whole unit.

On balance it made the category cheaper to live with. A device bought once and fed with pods costs less over a month than a stream of sealed units, and produces far less waste. It also changed how you shop: the decision splits into hardware first, then consumables, rather than being one purchase repeated endlessly.

Everything we list meets the current rules. That means 2ml pods, 10ml nicotine bottles and a 20mg strength ceiling, with age verification on every order. Rechargeable kits and replacement pods are the two halves of that system if you are still assembling yours.
