SKE Crystal Nic Salts E Liquid Grape: what you are buying

SKE Crystal Nic Salts E Liquid Grape is a 10ml bottle of grape-flavoured nicotine salt e-liquid from SKE, the brand behind the Crystal range of pods and vape kits that many UK adults already recognise. It is a refill liquid, not a ready-to-use device. You pour it into a compatible refillable pod or small tank, and the kit you already own does the rest. There is no battery, coil or mouthpiece in the package, only the bottle.

It is listed in two strengths, 10mg and 20mg, and the price on the product page at the time of writing is £2.59 per bottle, with a buy 5 for £10 multibuy that brings each bottle down to £2.00. Stock is sourced through UK distributors and every order is age checked before it leaves us, because this is a nicotine product for adults aged 18+ who already smoke or vape.

Here is the specification, using only what the listing and UK law establish.

• Format: one 10ml bottle, which is the largest size UK rules allow for nicotine e-liquid
• Type: nicotine salt, made for low-power mouth-to-lung pod kits
• Strengths: 10mg/ml or 20mg/ml, and 20mg/ml is the legal ceiling in the UK
• Flavour: Grape, with no ice, menthol or second fruit named in the title
• Price: £2.59 each, or 5 for £10 across the qualifying range
• VG/PG ratio: not published on the listing, so we do not quote one; it is printed on the bottle label

The rest of this page covers the flavour, how many puffs a bottle gives, the hardware it suits, the nicotine strengths, how to fill and use it, what to do when something tastes wrong and how the numbers stack up against other grape nic salts. If you are still choosing between lines, the full SKE collection and the wider nicotine salt e-liquids range are the two places to browse before you commit.

How the Grape flavour is likely to taste

Grape is a familiar flavour in vaping, and it varies a great deal from brand to brand. On a label the word can mean a fresh green table grape, a dark purple concord grape, a grape soda or a grape sweet. This listing says only "Grape", so the honest expectation is a sweet, rounded, purple-leaning grape rather than a sharp or tart one. Nic salt liquids are usually built that way. The flavour is pitched high and the sweetness sits at the front so that it survives the modest wattage of a pod device.

Because the name carries no "ice" or "menthol", you should not expect a cooling blast on the inhale. That is a real difference from the many grape ice liquids on the market. A plain grape tends to taste warmer and juicier, and the flavour lingers on the tongue after you exhale instead of disappearing behind a cold hit. If cooling matters to you, browse the ice e-liquids collection rather than assuming this bottle will supply it.

What you can usually expect from a fruit nic salt in this style:

• Inhale: a smooth, sweet grape that arrives early rather than building slowly
• Exhale: a rounder, juicier finish with a faint candy edge
• Aftertaste: sweetness that stays for a short while, which some people enjoy and others find cloying in a long session
• Throat feel: smooth at 10mg and noticeably firmer at 20mg, even though salts are gentler than freebase at the same number

Sweet flavours show the usual pattern of palate fatigue. The first few mouthfuls taste vivid, then your taste buds adapt. Vapers call this vaper's tongue, and it is normal rather than a sign of weak liquid. Rinsing your mouth with water, eating something plain or switching to a different flavour for a day usually resets it. If you vape grape all day, keeping a second bottle with a different character, such as Watermelon Ice, is more effective than turning the power up to chase the taste.

We do not copy tasting notes from the manufacturer, because the manufacturer's description is usually a single line. What is written above reflects the product name and how this style of liquid generally behaves. If you are particular about grape, buy one bottle first rather than committing to a full box.

Puff delivery and how long a 10ml bottle lasts

A bottle of e-liquid does not come with a puff rating the way a prefilled pod or kit does, and any figure printed on a bottle should be treated with suspicion. How many puffs you get depends on your device, your wattage, how long you draw and how often you top up. What we can give you is a realistic, category-level guide and the arithmetic to work it out for yourself.

In a typical low-power pod kit running somewhere between 10 and 15 watts, a 10ml bottle usually delivers roughly 1,000 to 2,500 puffs. That is a wide range because a short, gentle draw uses far less liquid than a long, hard one. Think of the number as a planning estimate, not a guarantee. UK law limits a refillable pod or tank to 2ml, so one bottle fills five full pods, and you will refill often. That is how the system is designed, and it is not a fault with the liquid.

The easier way to plan is by daily consumption, measured in millilitres.

• Light use, about 1ml a day: a bottle lasts around ten days
• Moderate use, about 2ml a day: a bottle lasts around five days
• Heavy use, about 3ml a day: a bottle lasts a little over three days

Most people find their own figure within the first fortnight. If a bottle is disappearing faster than the table suggests, check three things before blaming the liquid: whether your power setting is too high for a nic salt, whether the pod is leaking, and whether you are taking long, repeated draws out of habit rather than need.

It is also worth knowing what a bottle represents in nicotine terms. A 10mg/ml bottle holds 100mg of nicotine in total, and a 20mg/ml bottle holds 200mg. Salts are absorbed quickly and feel smooth, so it is easy to take in more than you intended during a long session. Pacing yourself, rather than chain vaping, makes a bottle last longer and avoids the lightheaded, slightly queasy feeling that comes from overdoing a higher strength.

If you go through a bottle every few days, the economics change in your favour when you buy in bulk. The SKE Crystal 10ml box of ten is a separate listing priced from £17.99, so check which flavours it covers before you assume grape is included.

Bottle design, safety features and build quality

There is not much to a bottle of e-liquid, but the details that exist are worth checking, because they tell you whether you are holding genuine, legally sold stock. A UK-sold nicotine e-liquid bottle holds no more than 10ml, has a child-resistant cap, a tamper-evident seal, a nozzle designed for refilling and a label that carries the nicotine warning, the strength, the ingredient list and the batch information.

Here is what to look at when your order arrives.

• Seal: the tamper-evident ring should be intact and the cap should be tight, with no sticky residue around the neck
• Label: it should show the strength you ordered, either 10mg or 20mg, the flavour and a best-before date
• Nozzle: it should be narrow enough to sit inside a small pod fill port without flooding the central airflow tube
• Body: the plastic should be soft and squeezable, so you can control the flow and extract the last drops
• Warnings: the nicotine health warning must be visible on the packaging and the bottle

The squeezable body matters more than it sounds. A stiff bottle forces you to squeeze hard, and the liquid arrives in a rush that overfills a pod. A soft bottle lets you add a drop at a time and stop the moment the liquid reaches the fill line. If you refill on the go, keep the bottle upright in a bag pocket and avoid leaving it in a hot car, where heat thins the liquid and pressure can push it out of the nozzle.

The label is always the final word on what is inside. We list the product as it is described by the supplier, and we do not quote figures that are not on the listing, which is why this page gives no VG/PG ratio. If the label and the listing ever disagree, tell us with your order number and a photo, and we will sort it out.

The bottle itself is plastic. Once it is empty, rinse the cap area, leave it to dry and check your local council guidance on whether it goes in household plastic recycling, since the rules vary between areas. Do not decant liquid into unlabelled containers, and keep every bottle out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine in liquid form is poisonous if swallowed, and a sweet grape smell is attractive to young children, so store it high and closed.

Which devices suit it: coils, mesh, battery and charging

Nicotine salt liquid is formulated for a particular kind of hardware, and using it in the wrong one is a common reason people are disappointed with a bottle. This liquid is meant for low-power mouth-to-lung devices, which means the tight, cigarette-style draw you get from most refillable pod kits. It is not designed for high-power sub-ohm tanks with big airflow.

The coil is where the liquid is heated, and two designs dominate the pod kits it suits.

• Mesh coils: a thin sheet of metal mesh with a large heating area, which produces even flavour and handles sweeter liquids well; resistances commonly sit around 0.8 to 1.2 ohms in pod systems
• Ceramic or cotton-wicked coils: traditional wire-and-cotton or porous ceramic designs, usually at similar resistances, that give a slightly softer flavour and are forgiving of thinner liquids

Those resistance figures are typical of the category, not a specification of any device we have tested with this bottle, so always read your own kit's manual. A coil of roughly 1 ohm run at 10 to 15 watts is the sort of setup salts are made for. Push a high-nicotine salt through a sub-ohm coil at 60 watts and you will get an enormous amount of vapour, a very harsh hit and a nicotine intake that rises far above what the strength on the bottle suggests.

When you are choosing a kit, look for these features:

• A refillable pod or tank with a fill port that fits a 10ml bottle nozzle
• Adjustable airflow or a tight default draw, so the hit feels like a cigarette rather than a cloud
• Replaceable coils or pods that are easy to find, since the coil is the part that wears out first
• A 2ml capacity, which is the UK limit and not a flaw

If you do not own a device yet, start with the pod kits or the narrower mouth-to-lung pod kits collection, or pick up a complete starter vape kit. All three feature refillable hardware that suits salts. Coils last longer when you let the liquid soak into the wick for a few minutes after refilling, and a sweet flavour like grape tends to caramelise on the coil a little faster than a clean fruit does, so plan to replace the coil or pod every one to two weeks of regular use.

Now the battery side, because it affects how the liquid tastes as much as the coil does.

The bottle has no battery, so there is nothing to charge in the package. The battery that matters is the one in your refillable kit.

Pod kits of this type usually carry a rechargeable lithium battery in the region of a few hundred to around a thousand milliamp hours, charged over USB-C or, on older models, micro USB. Treat those figures as category-level, because the real number is printed in your device's manual and varies from kit to kit. A half-flat battery matters for flavour. As voltage drops, the coil heats less strongly, and a sweet grape that tasted lush at full charge can taste thin and slightly metallic when the kit is nearly empty.

Some habits that keep the kit healthy:

• Charge before it dies completely. Topping up at about a quarter charge is gentler on the cell than running it flat every time.
• Use a standard USB charger, such as the one supplied with the kit or a phone charger of modest output. Avoid unbranded, uncertified chargers.
• Do not charge unattended overnight on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, and unplug once the indicator light shows the battery is full.
• Keep it out of heat. A kit left on a car dashboard or radiator loses battery capacity quickly and risks leaking liquid.
• Stop using a swollen, hot or damaged device and dispose of it properly instead of attempting a repair.

When the kit reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the bin. Vapes contain lithium batteries and electronics, and They count as electrical waste, which must be recycled rather than binned. Take the device to a household waste recycling centre, or to a shop that operates a vape take-back drop-off point. Remove the pod first and discard it or recycle it as the local guidance advises, with any remaining liquid kept away from drains. A battery sent to landfill or placed in kerbside recycling can start fires in collection lorries, which is why the drop-off points exist.

Single-use disposable vapes have been banned in Great Britain since 1 June 2025. A refillable kit paired with bottled nic salt is the route many adults moved to, and it produces far less waste because the device is used again and again rather than thrown away after a few days.

Nicotine strength: 10mg or 20mg

Strength is a decision people often get wrong, and it affects whether switching from cigarettes holds or collapses. This bottle is offered in 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml. UK law caps nicotine at 20mg/ml for all e-liquids, which is the same ceiling that applied to the disposables that were on sale before the ban, so nothing legitimately sold here goes higher. The real question is how far below the ceiling you need to sit.

Choosing too low is the classic mistake. If a strength does not satisfy you, you compensate by vaping more often, which costs more and rarely feels better. Choosing too high is the opposite error, and it shows up as coughing, a harsh hit at the back of the throat and a slightly sick feeling after a few puffs.

• 20mg: the firmest throat hit and the strongest nicotine delivery. It usually suits heavier smokers who are switching, or anyone who finds that lower strengths leave them reaching for the device constantly.
• 10mg: the middle ground. It suits lighter smokers, people who have already been vaping for a while and want to ease down, and anyone who finds 20mg harsh.

Nicotine salts feel smoother than freebase nicotine at the same number, which is why bar-style liquids can sit at 20mg without feeling punishing. That smoothness also makes it easy to take in more nicotine than you meant to. If you are unsure, buy one bottle of each rather than five of the wrong one, and give each a few days.

A sensible approach for a former smoker is to begin at the strength that stops cravings comfortably, hold it for several weeks while the habit settles, and only then try stepping down. Do not jump straight to a low strength and hope for the best. If you are not a smoker, this is not a product for you at any strength. Nicotine is highly addictive, and these liquids are not intended for people who do not already use nicotine.

You can compare the strengths side by side in the 10mg e-liquids and 20mg e-liquids collections. If you ever want a liquid without nicotine, the 0mg e-liquids collection holds the nicotine-free options, usually sold as larger shortfills for sub-ohm tanks.

Who it suits and who should skip it

No liquid suits everyone, and we would rather you spent £2.59 with the right expectations than discovered a mismatch after buying a box. The points below are an honest sort of who tends to be happy with this bottle.

It is likely to suit:

• Adult smokers moving to a refillable pod kit who want a straightforward fruit flavour without menthol or sour notes
• Existing SKE Crystal users who already own compatible hardware and want a familiar brand at a low price
• People who like sweet, fruit-led flavours and find tobacco or mint profiles dull
• Anyone running a low-power MTL device who needs a nic salt that behaves in small pods
• Buyers watching the budget, because at £2.00 each on the multibuy the cost per millilitre is very low

It is probably the wrong choice if:

• You use a sub-ohm tank at high wattage. Shortfills and freebase liquids are built for that, and a salt will feel harsh and wasteful there.
• You want a cooling hit. The title carries no ice or menthol, so look at an ice-labelled grape instead.
• You dislike sweetness. Grape in a nic salt is a sugar-forward profile, and an all-day session can feel cloying.
• You have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive and there is no reason to start.
• You are under 18. We verify age on every order, and unverified orders are refunded rather than sent.

People who are pregnant, breastfeeding or living with heart conditions should speak to a doctor or pharmacist about nicotine before using any vaping product. We cannot give medical advice, and nothing on this page is intended as such.

If you are unsure whether grape is right, treat it as a sampler. Buy one bottle in the strength you think you need, use it for a few days, and then decide whether to stock up on the multibuy. The Berry and Blueberry Raspberries bottles in the same range are the nearest fruit alternatives, and mixing a pair of them in your rotation stops any one flavour going stale.

How to fill, prime and use it

Filling a refillable pod is simple, but a few small habits separate a clean, flavourful vape from a leaky, burnt-tasting one. Follow the steps below the first time, and they will quickly become automatic.

• Step 1. Wash your hands and wipe the device. Liquid on your fingers ends up on the mouthpiece and in your mouth.
• Step 2. Remove the pod or open the fill port. Most pods have a rubber bung or sliding cover. Check your manual if you cannot find it.
• Step 3. Squeeze the bottle gently into the port. Place the nozzle against the opening and add liquid slowly. Avoid the central tube, which is the airflow channel.
• Step 4. Stop at the fill line. The pod holds no more than 2ml, and overfilling is a frequent cause of leaks and gurgling.
• Step 5. Close the port and reseat the pod. Make sure it clicks fully into the battery section.
• Step 6. Wait five minutes. New coils need to absorb the liquid before they are heated. This step prevents dry hits.
• Step 7. Take a few gentle draws without firing at full strength. Prime the coil first, and then vape normally.

Once it is going, these tips make the experience more consistent:

• Take slow, steady draws of two to three seconds, and rest for half a minute between puffs. Rapid chain vaping heats the coil faster than the wick can refill.
• Use a mouth-to-lung inhale: draw into your mouth, pause, then inhale. A direct lung hit on a salt is harsh at either strength.
• Keep the device upright when you are not using it, so liquid does not seep into the airflow.
• Top up before the pod runs dry, not after, because a coil that fires with no liquid burns quickly and cannot be recovered.

When you change flavour, empty the pod, wipe the inside and let it dry for a few minutes, or fit a fresh pod. Residue from the previous liquid will mix with the grape and muddy both. Store the bottle upright in a cool place, close the cap firmly after every use and wipe the nozzle. If you are carrying it around, a small zip bag stops any seepage reaching your other things. Keep it away from sunlight, because heat and light degrade flavour and darken the liquid over time.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a bottle of nic salt are really problems with the device or the way it is being used, and they have simple fixes. Work through the list before concluding that the liquid is faulty.

• Burnt or acrid taste: the coil is dry or worn. Let the new pod soak, refill earlier, lower the power and replace the coil if the taste persists after a fresh fill.
• Weak or muted flavour: vaper's tongue, a low battery or an ageing coil are the usual suspects. Rest on a different flavour for a day, charge the device and consider a fresh pod.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the pod or in the airflow tube. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece and wipe the contacts.
• Leaking from the pod: the fill port is not sealed, the pod was overfilled, or a change in air pressure (a flight or a long drive) pushed liquid out. Reseat the bung and keep the pod under the fill line.
• Harsh hit or coughing: the strength is too high for your preference, the power is too high, or you are inhaling straight to the lungs. Try 10mg, lower the wattage or slow your draw.
• No vapour: check the pod is seated, the battery is charged and the airflow is not blocked by liquid. A coil that has flooded needs a few minutes to rest.
• Sticky residue on the device: sweet liquids leave sugar behind. Wipe the mouthpiece and contacts with a dry cloth, not a wet one.
• Sour or off smell: the liquid is past its best-before date or has been stored in heat. Throw the bottle away rather than vaping it.

A darker colour than you expected is not necessarily a fault. Nicotine and flavouring oxidise over time, and some e-liquids look amber or brown after a few months. A smell that has turned sharp or chemical, however, means the bottle should be discarded.

If something looks wrong on arrival, such as the wrong strength, the wrong flavour, a broken seal or a bottle that has clearly leaked in transit, contact us with your order number and a photo. We cannot take back or resell a bottle that has been opened, because it is a consumable product, but a faulty or incorrect item is always put right. Details are on our shipping and returns page, and common questions are answered in the FAQ.

Value for money: the price worked out

The single-bottle price of £2.59 is already modest, and the multibuy makes it cheaper. The numbers are simple, but they are worth setting out so that you can see where the saving lies.

• One bottle: £2.59, which is 25.9p per millilitre
• Five bottles at the single price: £12.95
• Five bottles on the multibuy: £10.00, which is £2.00 each and 20p per millilitre
• Saving on a set of five: £2.95, or about 23% off
• SKE Crystal 10ml box of ten: from £17.99, which is about £1.80 a bottle and 18p per millilitre

The multibuy applies across the qualifying range, so the five bottles do not have to be the same flavour or strength. That makes it easy to build a rotation, for instance two grape, two fruit and one cooling flavour, without paying the single price. Browse every qualifying product in the 5 for £10 e-liquids collection.

A quick running-cost view at a moderate 2ml a day: a 30-day month is about 60ml, which is six bottles. Five on the multibuy plus one at the single price comes to £12.59, which is roughly 42p a day. At the box-of-ten rate the same month costs about £10.80, or roughly 36p a day. Light users who need only 1ml a day spend about half that. Add the one-off cost of a refillable kit and replacement coils, and bottled liquid generally works out cheaper to run than prefilled pods.

One practical point about delivery. UK delivery is free on orders over £20. Two multibuys of five come to exactly £20.00, so adding one extra bottle takes you clearly above the line, and your basket will show whether you have qualified. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day.

The cheapest option is not always the right option. A bottle you enjoy and finish is better value than a box of something you leave in a drawer. That is why we suggest buying one bottle first if grape is new to you.

How it compares with other grape nic salts

SKE Crystal grape sits in a crowded part of the market, and a fair comparison includes brands that are cheaper, brands that add a cooling edge and options in different formats. These are the closest alternatives we stock, with prices taken from the listings.

• Mix Lab Salts Grape 10mg: listed from £1.05, so it is the lower-cost route if price is your main concern. This listing is the 10mg version, so it will not suit someone who needs 20mg.
• Lost Mary Nic Salts Grape: listed from £1.59, with a 5 for £10 offer. It is another budget grape option from a widely recognised name.
• IVG Nic Salt Grape Ice: £2.99 per bottle, and, as the name says, it adds a cooling layer that this SKE bottle does not claim.
• Pod Salt Core Grape Ice 10ml 20mg: listed from £0.99 in a 20mg format, suited to those who want a cold finish at the top strength.
• Double Brew Nic Salts Grape Ice 20mg: listed from £1.10, another cooling grape at 20mg.

So what is the case for paying £2.59 when other options start lower? There are three honest reasons. First, brand familiarity. If you already use SKE Crystal pods or kits, staying with the brand removes some guesswork about flavour intensity and how the liquid behaves in small pods. Second, strength choice. This bottle comes in both 10mg and 20mg, which not every cheaper grape does. Third, a plain grape with no ice is a distinct taste. Several of the lower-priced grape liquids are ice versions, and they taste noticeably different.

The reasons not to pay it are equally clear. If you like a cold finish, an ice-labelled grape is a better match for the money. If budget is the only concern, the cheaper bottles above will suit you. We do not claim this liquid is better than those. It is a different option, with its own balance of price, strength range and flavour.

Within the SKE range, Blue Razz Gummy, Fruit Medley and Hubbla Bubbla are candy-leaning companions that pair well with grape if you like sweet flavours, and the parent SKE Crystal Nic Salts E Liquid listing shows the whole line in one place.

Delivery, UK rules and buying with confidence

The buying side of this product is straightforward. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, UK delivery is free on orders over £20, and tracked options are shown at checkout. Full terms are on the shipping page.

Age verification applies to every order. We check that the buyer is 18 or over, and if we cannot verify age, the order is refunded rather than sent. This protects you as well as us, because it keeps nicotine out of the hands of young people.

A short guide to the UK rules that shape this product:

• Nicotine cap: e-liquid is limited to 20mg/ml, which is why this bottle tops out at 20mg
• Bottle size: nicotine e-liquid refills cannot exceed 10ml
• Pod and tank size: refillable devices carry a maximum of 2ml
• Packaging: child-resistant, tamper-evident, with a health warning on the label
• Disposables: single-use vapes are banned in Great Britain, so the move to refillable kits and bottled salts is now the standard route
• Recycling: devices and batteries go to a recycling drop-off point, not the bin, and empty bottles follow local council guidance

Everything we ship is genuine stock from UK distributors. Because e-liquid is a consumable, opened bottles cannot be returned, but if your order arrives damaged, incorrect or faulty, contact us with your order number and we will resolve it. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

If you are building a larger order, there are several places to explore from here: the e-liquids hub for everything bottled, the nicotine salt e-liquids range, and the SKE brand page for the Crystal pods, kits and liquids together. Adults who smoke and are switching often settle on a pair of flavours and one strength, so the sensible first order is a single bottle of grape, a second flavour for contrast, and the kit that suits your hands.

Remember that nicotine is addictive. This product is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers, and not for anyone who does not already use nicotine.
