SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Double Apple: what you are buying

The SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Puffs Vape Kit in Double Apple is a rechargeable, pod-style vape from SKE, a brand UK vapers mostly know through its Crystal range of high-puff-count devices. The Memers line is the lighter-hearted side of the catalogue, with cartoon-style artwork and bold fruit flavours, and the WuKong name nods to the Monkey King of Chinese folklore. That explains the mischievous, adventurous look of the packaging. Double Apple is the flavour for adult vapers who want a clean, sweet fruit profile without menthol, ice or candy layers stacked on top.

The V10000 in the name is SKE's puff rating. It is a manufacturer figure produced under controlled test conditions, not a promise of how many puffs you personally will get. We think it is more useful to read it as a statement of intent: this kit is designed for a long run between recharges and refills, so it suits people who want to drop it into a bag or jacket pocket and not think about it for a good while.

The key points at a glance:

• Brand and range: SKE, Memers WuKong series
• Format: kit, meaning a rechargeable device built around a pod or liquid reservoir rather than a bare battery
• Rated puffs: 10,000 (manufacturer rating)
• Flavour: Double Apple
• Coil: mesh, typically in the 0.8 to 1.2 ohm region for this class of device
• Charging: USB-C, with a battery in the region of 500 to 650mAh being typical for this class (confirm the exact figure on the pack)
• Nicotine: choose from the strengths listed on the product page, and never above the UK maximum of 20mg/ml (2%)

A word on UK rules, because they shape what you can buy. Nicotine e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml, refillable tanks and pods are limited to 2ml, and since 1 June 2025 single-use vapes have been banned from sale. A product sold as a kit should therefore be designed for reuse, with a rechargeable battery and proper guidance on refilling or replacing the pod. Read the leaflet in the box for the exact routine on your unit, because that is the authority on how it was built.

The rest of this guide covers how the kit performs, how Double Apple tastes, what the hardware is likely to be doing under the hood, how to choose a nicotine strength, and where it sits against alternatives you may be considering.

Performance and puff delivery

The first thing to understand about any puff rating is how it is measured. Manufacturers test with a machine taking short, gentle, evenly spaced draws, usually in the region of two seconds each. Human beings take longer, harder and more irregular draws, particularly when the vape is new and the first few puffs feel a little restrained. The result is that real-world puff counts usually land below the headline number. We would treat 10,000 as a ceiling for very light use, not as a target, and anyone who does that tends to be happier with the product.

As a rough guide, a mouth-to-lung style mesh device uses somewhere between 0.003ml and 0.005ml of e-liquid per puff, which means a single millilitre gives roughly 200 to 300 puffs. That arithmetic is worth keeping in mind when you compare devices: the number that really governs longevity is the amount of liquid on board, plus how long and how often you draw. If you want to estimate your own run time, count how many puffs you take on an ordinary day and divide the rating by that number. At 150 puffs a day, 10,000 puffs works out on paper at about 66 days. In practice, expect it to be shorter, and consider a few weeks to a couple of months a realistic window depending on your habits.

On the draw itself, a mesh-coil kit in this class gives a smooth, even build of vapour from the first second. The pull is generally a tight to medium mouth-to-lung inhale, closer to a cigarette than to a loose, airy sub-ohm cloud device. Throat hit depends heavily on the nicotine strength you pick, and the vapour is warm rather than hot when the coil is working properly.

Things that affect performance across the life of the device:

• Battery level: vapour can thin out as the charge drops, so topping up before the battery is flat keeps output consistent.
• Draw length: a slow three-second inhale produces a fuller puff than a quick sip.
• Chain vaping: back-to-back draws starve the wick and dull the flavour. Pause for ten to fifteen seconds between puffs when you can.
• Remaining liquid: the final stretch of e-liquid is where flavour fade and slightly hotter vapour show up. That is the cue to refill or swap the pod, not to push on.

Used with a little patience, this is a steady, predictable performer with no fiddly settings to manage.

Double Apple flavour profile

Double Apple is a name borrowed from the shisha world, where it traditionally means two apple notes layered together, often with a faint aniseed edge. In the vape version, makers tend to build the same idea around a pairing of sweet red apple and a tarter, greener apple, then dial the aniseed down or leave it out. What you should expect from this kit is a juicy, rounded apple flavour with a sweet start and a slightly tart lift towards the end of the exhale.

If you are sensitive to aniseed or liquorice flavours, it is worth knowing that some double apple recipes keep a mild trace of it. Treat that as a possibility rather than a certainty, and bear it in mind if you have disliked similar profiles before.

How the flavour tends to unfold:

• On the inhale: a crisp, slightly sweet apple note, closer to apple juice than to baked apple or candy.
• Mid-draw: the two apple characters separate a little, with the sweet side coming forward and the greener side sitting behind it.
• On the exhale: a clean, lightly tart finish that fades without a heavy sugary coating on the tongue.

The profile is not cooling by design. If you want a frosty hit, you would look at an apple-ice variant instead. If you want something sweeter and more confectionery in character, a sour apple sweet or an apple-peach blend would suit you better. Double Apple sits in the middle: fruit-led, easy to vape for long stretches, and not overly sugary.

Nicotine strength changes how the flavour reads. At higher strengths the throat hit takes up part of the experience and the apple can feel slightly sharper, while at lower strengths the sweetness comes through more clearly. A fresh coil also gives its fullest flavour in the first few days, then settles into a steady, slightly softer profile. If the taste ever turns flat or toasty, that is a sign of a dry wick or a low liquid level, covered in the troubleshooting section.

Fruit flavours are also the easiest to enjoy across a whole day. If you have found tobacco or dessert flavours wearing on your palate, an apple profile like this one tends to stay pleasant without leaving you reaching for water.

Design and build quality

The WuKong V10000 follows the compact, pocketable format that has become standard for pod-style kits. The body is a rounded, slightly oval shape, sized to sit comfortably in an adult hand and slip into a pocket without a lot of bulk. Expect something in the region of the length of a hand, with a weight that feels reassuringly solid rather than hollow. The Memers artwork on the outside uses bold colour and cartoon styling, and the apple theme of this variant is easy to pick out from the other flavours in the range at a glance.

Build quality in this class is generally about careful assembly rather than premium materials. The shell is usually lacquered or coated plastic and metal trim, and the mouthpiece is moulded into the top of the body so that it is gentle on the lips. The things we would check on arrival are the same things we would check with any vape:

• Seams: the body halves should sit flush with no gaps or rattles.
• Mouthpiece: it should be firmly seated with no wobble.
• Charging port: the USB-C socket should be clean and square with no visible damage.
• Airflow opening: a small slot or hole, usually on the side or underside, that should be clear and unblocked.
• Artwork and labelling: prints should be crisp with the nicotine warning legible, as required in the UK.

Controls are kept simple. Devices of this type are usually draw-activated, so there is no fire button to press and no settings menu to learn. You inhale and the coil heats. Some versions carry a small indicator light or screen to show battery state, which is a helpful feature when you are trying to avoid being caught short on a day out.

In the box you can normally expect the device and the leaflet, with a charging cable included in many kits or left for you to supply from your own USB-C collection. Check the pack contents list on arrival, and remove any seals, plugs or stickers from the mouthpiece and airflow area before first use.

It will not feel like a metal-bodied premium mod, and it is not meant to. What it should do is feel tidy, hold together in a pocket and deliver steady vapour without needing care and attention.

Battery and charging

A rechargeable pod kit in this class typically carries a lithium-ion battery in the region of 500 to 650mAh, charged over USB-C. That is a sensible match for a mesh coil running at roughly 10 to 15 watts: enough capacity to last through a long day of moderate use, yet small enough to keep the body slim. Confirm the exact capacity on the pack or in the leaflet, since we would rather you rely on the manufacturer's printed figure than on a general estimate.

Charging is simple, though a few habits keep the battery healthy and safe:

• Use a standard 5V charger: a plug-in adapter of the type used for phones, or a laptop port, is fine. There is no need for a fast charger.
• Expect roughly one to two hours: a flat battery usually takes in the region of an hour to ninety minutes, and an indicator light normally changes colour or switches off when charging is complete.
• Stay nearby: do not leave any lithium device charging unattended or overnight, and keep it on a hard, non-flammable surface rather than a bed or sofa.
• Avoid heat: do not charge or leave the vape in a car on a summer day, next to a radiator or in direct sunlight.
• Use an undamaged cable: a frayed or bent cable is a reason to replace it before charging.

As a practical benchmark, a full charge should carry a moderate vaper through a day or more. Heavier users may want to top up every night, and lighter users can often manage a couple of days. Because the battery will outlast a single fill of liquid in most circumstances, you will usually charge several times over the life of the kit.

If the battery ever swells, becomes unusually hot, smells strange or stops holding charge, stop using it straight away, keep it away from anything flammable, and do not charge it again.

When the kit finally reaches the end of its life, recycle it properly. Vapes contain lithium batteries and electronics that must not go in household bins or kerbside recycling, because they can cause fires in collection lorries and recycling plants. Take it to a vape recycling drop-off point, to the small electrical recycling bank at your local household waste centre, or to a retailer offering take-back. Many UK shops that sell vapes are required to accept used vapes, so ask at the counter if you are unsure.

Mesh coil and airflow technology

The heart of the WuKong V10000 is a mesh coil. Older vapes used a wound wire coil wrapped around a cotton wick, which heats up in a small number of places. A mesh coil is a thin, flat sheet of perforated metal, rolled against the wick, and it heats across a much wider surface. That has three practical effects on how the device behaves.

• Quicker, more even heating: vapour arrives almost as soon as you start to draw, with fewer dry or patchy puffs.
• More faithful flavour: because the liquid is heated evenly, the apple character comes through cleanly rather than burning off in hot spots.
• Longer coil life: spreading the heat across a bigger area puts less strain on any one point, which is how manufacturers justify very high puff ratings.

Resistance for this class of coil generally falls between about 0.8 and 1.2 ohms, driven by a regulated output of roughly 10 to 15 watts. A resistance in that range is designed for a tight to medium mouth-to-lung draw, in which you pull vapour into your mouth first and then inhale. That style feels familiar to ex-smokers and keeps the vapour temperature moderate.

Airflow in kits like this is fixed. The small opening is set to give a restricted draw, which concentrates flavour and delivers a throat hit similar to a cigarette. If you cover or partially block the airflow slot with your fingers, the draw tightens and the vapour can run hotter, so hold the device by the body and keep your fingers away from the opening.

Coil care comes down to a few good habits:

• Let the liquid soak in before your first puff, especially if the pod has been in storage.
• Avoid chain vaping for long stretches, because the wick needs time to refill between draws.
• Keep the device upright when you are not using it, so liquid does not pool around the coil.
• Stop when the flavour turns burnt or the liquid is low. A dry wick damages a mesh coil quickly.

None of this takes special effort. Mesh technology is popular because it is forgiving, and the result is a vape that delivers repeatable flavour from day one to the end of its life.

Choosing a nicotine strength

Nicotine strength is the single most important choice you make with this kit, and it is worth taking a minute to get it right. In the UK, the maximum permitted strength for nicotine e-liquid is 20mg/ml (2%), and that limit applies to every vape you will find for sale here, including this one. Nothing stronger is legal, so be wary of any product claiming otherwise.

The strengths listed on the product page are the ones available, and the following guide may help you choose between them:

• 20mg/ml (2%): usually suits heavier smokers, or anyone moving from a pack-a-day habit to vaping. At this strength, nicotine salt e-liquids are smooth enough to avoid the harsh throat hit you would get from the same dose in an older freebase liquid.
• 10mg to 12mg/ml (1% to 1.2%): a sensible middle ground for lighter smokers, social smokers, or anyone who has already been vaping for a few weeks and finds the top strength a little much.
• 3mg to 6mg/ml (0.3% to 0.6%): aimed at people who are stepping down gradually, or who vape heavily throughout the day and want a lower dose per puff.
• 0mg/ml: nicotine-free, where available, for those who simply like the ritual and the flavour.

A few points are worth bearing in mind. First, a stronger liquid does not just feel harsher, it also delivers more nicotine per puff, so you tend to take fewer puffs. If you pick too low a strength, you may find yourself vaping constantly and burning through the pod faster. If you pick too high, you may feel lightheaded, nauseous or jittery, which is a clear sign to step down.

Second, nicotine is addictive. Vaping is widely regarded by UK public health bodies as far less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free, and it is meant for adults who already smoke or vape. It is illegal to sell vapes to anyone under 18, and non-smokers have no reason to start. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or are taking medication, speak to your GP or a local stop smoking service before you choose a strength.

Who this kit suits, and who should look elsewhere

The SKE Memers WuKong V10000 is a straightforward, low-maintenance vape, and it fits some people far better than others. Here is an honest picture of both sides.

It is a good fit for:

• Adult smokers switching to vaping, who want a draw that feels familiar and a nicotine hit that is easy to control.
• Fruit flavour fans, who prefer a crisp apple to a menthol, tobacco or dessert profile.
• People who dislike tinkering, because there are no coils to build, no wattage dials and no airflow rings to adjust.
• Anyone wanting a long run time, including commuters, shift workers and people who spend long days away from a charger.
• Vapers looking for a low-fuss second device, something to keep in a bag or at work alongside a main setup.

You might prefer something else if you are:

• A non-smoker or under 18. This product contains nicotine and is not for you.
• A dedicated cloud chaser, who wants a big, airy draw and adjustable wattage. A fixed mesh pod kit will feel restrictive.
• Someone who wants complete flavour variety, because each unit is tied to its own flavour and you cannot mix your own juices in the way you can with a refillable open-pod system.
• Strictly after a tobacco or menthol taste. Double Apple is a fruit profile, so look at another flavour in the range.
• Sensitive to sweeteners or to aniseed notes. If either bothers you, a plainer flavour may be a safer choice.
• Particularly eco-minded about running costs and waste, where a fully refillable device with replaceable coils will usually have a lower footprint over time.

None of these points makes the WuKong a poor product. They simply mark out where its strengths sit: simple operation, steady flavour and low upkeep. If that matches what you are after, it is a sensible choice. If you want a hobbyist's control over every setting, a different category of device will suit you better.

How to use the kit

Using the WuKong V10000 is meant to be uncomplicated, but a careful first few minutes make the experience better and help the coil last. Always follow the leaflet in your own pack, since it may differ from our general guidance in small details.

First use, step by step:

• Unpack and inspect. Check the body for damage, and remove any plastic film, plugs or stickers from the mouthpiece and the airflow slot.
• Charge briefly if the pack suggests it. Many kits ship with a partial charge, but a top-up before first use avoids a flat battery after a few puffs.
• Let the coil soak. If the pod or liquid reservoir has just been fitted, wait a couple of minutes so the wick can absorb the e-liquid. This is the most useful tip for avoiding a dry, burnt first puff.
• Take gentle first puffs. Use two or three short, soft draws to prime the coil, then settle into normal use.
• Inhale slowly. Draw for about two to three seconds into your mouth, pause briefly, then breathe in to your lungs and exhale.

During everyday use:

• Keep each draw to a few seconds. Many devices have a cut-off of around ten seconds to protect the coil, but you should never need to approach it.
• Pause between puffs. Ten to fifteen seconds is enough to let the wick refill.
• Do not cover the airflow slot with your fingers.
• Store the device upright and away from heat, direct sunlight and pockets full of coins or keys.
• Wipe the mouthpiece with a dry or slightly damp cloth if it picks up moisture or fluff.

When the liquid runs low: if your kit uses replacement pods or refills, follow the exact instructions on the leaflet for your unit, which will tell you how to swap or refill. Always use nicotine liquid within the UK limit of 20mg/ml, and never top up with anything not designed for the device. Fit new pods firmly and wait a couple of minutes before vaping again.

Keep it out of the reach of children and pets at all times. Nicotine liquid can be harmful if swallowed or if it gets onto skin, so wash off any spills with water promptly.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a pod-style kit come down to a handful of causes, and almost all can be fixed in under a minute. Here are the ones we see most often.

• No vapour or very weak vapour. Check the battery first and charge it if the indicator is low. Then look at the airflow slot for blockages, make sure the pod is seated firmly, and give the coil a couple of minutes to soak before drawing gently.
• Burnt or toasty taste. This points to a dry wick, usually from chain vaping or a low liquid level. Stop using it until you have refilled or swapped the pod, and avoid heavy back-to-back draws. A coil that has already burnt will not recover.
• Gurgling or spitting. Liquid is pooling around the coil. Hold the device upright, take a gentle puff away from your mouth, and wipe away any liquid at the mouthpiece.
• Leaking. Check that the pod is fitted correctly and that no seals are missing. Store the vape upright and avoid extreme temperature changes, such as leaving it in a car, which can push liquid through the airflow system. If it continues to leak, stop using it and contact us.
• Flavour seems flat. Mild flavour fade is normal as the liquid level drops. If it appears early in the life of the device, check that you are not chain vaping and that the battery is not almost flat.
• Will not charge. Try a different cable and a different power source. Check the USB-C port for fluff or debris and clear it carefully with a wooden toothpick, never metal. If it still does not respond, the battery or board may have a fault.
• Flashing indicator light. This commonly signals low battery, a short-circuit protection event or a poorly seated pod. Check the pod connection and charge the device, then consult the leaflet for the meaning of the specific pattern.

There are also warning signs that mean you should stop immediately. If the vape becomes very hot, swells, smells of burning, or produces smoke, put it down on a non-flammable surface away from anything combustible, stop charging it, and take it to a proper recycling point once it has cooled. Do not attempt to open or repair the battery yourself.

If a fault does not fit any of the above, get in touch with your order number and a short description and a photo of the problem. Faulty goods are covered by your statutory rights, and we would rather sort a problem early than have you put up with a poor experience.

Value for money

Value in vaping is rarely just about the sticker price. A device that costs a little more but lasts weeks longer can be cheaper per day than a bargain that needs replacing or recharging constantly. The most helpful way to judge the WuKong V10000 is to work out a cost per day and compare it with what you currently spend.

Here is a simple method. Take the price you pay at checkout and divide it by the number of days you realistically expect the kit to last. If you vape about 150 puffs a day and the unit gives you six weeks of use, the maths is easy to do by hand. Compare the result with your previous weekly spend on cigarettes, other vapes or replacement pods. Many ex-smokers find that the saving is immediate, though the exact figure depends on how you vape and what you were spending before.

What goes into the value case for this kit:

• Long run time: a 10,000-puff rating signals a large e-liquid supply and a coil designed to last, so you are less likely to be buying replacements every few days.
• No coil purchases: unlike many refillable systems, you are not paying separately for spare coils.
• Low maintenance: you will not spend time or money on tools, batteries, or a collection of liquids.
• Multi-buy offers: if you plan to vape regularly, check the live price and any bundle offers on the product page, as they can lower the cost per unit.

There are costs to be aware of too. You will want a USB-C cable and a plug if you do not already have them. Replacement pods or liquid, depending on how your unit is designed, are an ongoing cost. And you should be honest with yourself that real-world puff counts tend to fall below the rating, so budget around a more cautious estimate than the number on the box.

Overall, this is good value for adult vapers who prefer a fixed, convenient format and who will use it enough to benefit from the long run time. If you vape only occasionally, a long-lasting device can sit unused for weeks, and a smaller, cheaper option may fit your pattern better. If you have strong preferences about flavour variety, an open-pod system with your choice of liquids may deliver better value over a year.

How it compares with similar vapes

The market for high-puff-count rechargeable kits is crowded, so it helps to see where the WuKong V10000 sits relative to the usual alternatives. These comparisons are general impressions rather than lab tests, and individual units will vary.

• Versus SKE Crystal devices: the Crystal range is SKE's best-known line in the UK, and the Memers WuKong shares its general approach of mesh coils and simple operation. The Memers range leans harder into playful styling and fruit flavours, while Crystal is generally seen as the more familiar, mainstream option. If you have enjoyed Crystal, the WuKong will feel familiar.
• Versus Lost Mary and Elf Bar kits: these brands are popular and widely available, with lots of flavour choice and consistent nicotine-salt smoothness. They tend to focus on light, easy puffing, which is the experience you can expect from WuKong too. Differences come down mostly to flavour preference, so choose by taste rather than by logo.
• Versus Geek Bar and IVG devices: these also offer large puff ratings and mesh technology, with some models adding screens or adjustable airflow. If features such as a liquid or battery display matter to you, check the specification of each device. If you want simplicity, a plainer kit like this one has fewer things to go wrong.
• Versus refillable pod kits such as Vaporesso XROS, OXVA Xlim or Uwell Caliburn: these use pods you fill yourself, giving you control over flavour and nicotine strength and a lower running cost over time. The trade-off is more handling, more spills, and the need to buy bottles and replacement pods. If you enjoy a bit of hobby involvement, a refillable kit is often the more economical long-term route. If you want to open the box and vape, a ready-flavoured kit is simpler.

The honest summary is that the WuKong V10000 does not set out to beat every competitor on every measure. It offers a dependable mesh coil, a pleasant apple flavour, a long rated run time and no setup, and it will suit people who value those things more than adjustability.

Whichever you pick, finish by looking after the environment and other people. Do not litter used vapes, and never put them in household waste or kerbside recycling. Take them to a recycling drop-off point or a retailer that accepts returns, and keep your device, spare pods and liquid away from children and pets.
