SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Sakura Grape: what this kit actually is

The SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Puffs Vape Kit in Sakura Grape is a high-capacity, rechargeable pod-style device from SKE, a brand that has built a following with UK vapers through its Crystal line and a steady run of newer ranges. The WuKong name nods to the Monkey King of Chinese folklore, and it sits under the Memers sub-range, which pairs playful branding with the kind of long-life specification that heavy daily vapers tend to look for. The headline figure on the box is a rating of up to 10,000 puffs, which is the manufacturer's claim rather than an independently measured number. We will explain later in this guide how to read that figure sensibly.

It is sold as a kit, and that word matters in the UK market. Since the ban on single-use vapes came into force on 1 June 2025, a product that you simply throw away after one use can no longer be legally supplied to consumers. A kit that you recharge and keep using is the format that has taken over. A typical kit in this class includes the main device body, a pre-filled pod or cartridge, a USB-C charging cable and a short instruction sheet. Always check the listing images and the box on arrival so you know exactly what is in your pack.

The Sakura Grape flavour, marked New by the brand, combines a ripe purple grape base with a soft floral note inspired by Japanese cherry blossom. It is a sweet, fruit-forward profile rather than a menthol or ice-heavy one, which makes it a comfortable all-day option for people who find stronger cooling flavours tiring after a few hours.

This guide walks through performance, flavour, build quality, battery, coil technology, nicotine strength, who the device suits, how to use it, how to fix common problems, value for money and how it compares with similar kits. Everything here is written for UK vapers, so we refer to UK nicotine limits, UK recycling routes and the current rules on what can be sold. Where a specification varies between batches, we say so rather than guess, and we point you to the pack for the definitive number.

Sakura Grape flavour profile: what to expect on the first puff and the thousandth

Sakura Grape is built around a classic purple grape character, closer to the sweet, slightly jammy taste of a ripe table grape or a grape soda than to the sharp, tart flavour of green grapes. On the inhale you should notice the grape first, with a rounded sweetness that sits in the middle of the palate. The sakura element works as a top note: a light, perfumed, slightly powdery floral lift that some people compare to a hint of cherry or almond rather than a strong flowery taste. It is deliberately subtle. If you were expecting a perfume-like blast of blossom, this is gentler than that.

On the exhale the sweetness lingers for a moment and the floral note becomes slightly more noticeable, which is typical of grape and blossom pairings. There is usually a faint cooling effect in this kind of recipe, but it should read as softness rather than a menthol hit. If you like grape flavours such as grape ice or blackcurrant and grape blends, you will understand where this sits. If you prefer sharp, sour or heavily iced flavours, it may feel a little mild.

Here are the main flavour characteristics, in the order most people notice them:

• Top note: delicate floral sweetness from the sakura element.
• Core: ripe purple grape with a juicy, rounded body.
• Finish: soft sweetness with a light, clean aftertaste and little harshness.
• Intensity: medium, designed for steady all-day vaping rather than a sharp punch.

Flavour consistency across the life of a pod is a fair question for any large-capacity device. In our experience of this class of product, flavour tends to be at its fullest in the first third of the pod, remains steady through the middle, and then begins to flatten as the e-liquid level and the wick saturation drop. Sweet fruit flavours also tend to build a little residue on the coil over time, which is why a pod that has been used heavily can taste slightly more muted or toasty near the end. That is normal wear, not a fault.

If you vape in different places through the day, note that cold air can slightly mute sweet flavours, while a warm room tends to bring out more of the floral top note. Drinking water between sessions helps you keep tasting the difference between grape and blossom rather than losing it to palate fatigue, which is a real effect with sweet e-liquids.

Performance and puff delivery: reading the 10,000 puff rating

A puff rating is a marketing estimate, not a guarantee. Manufacturers usually calculate it by dividing the e-liquid volume by an assumed amount of liquid used per puff, and they often test using short, gentle draws under ideal laboratory conditions. Real life is messier. Longer pulls, chain vaping, higher output settings and a warm pocket all use more liquid and more battery per puff. As a result, most people find the real-world figure for any device lands below the printed number, sometimes well below it.

It is also worth understanding the UK context. UK rules limit refillable tanks and pre-filled pods to 2ml of e-liquid per container. A device that genuinely delivers thousands of puffs from a single 2ml pod is not physically plausible, so you should treat a 10,000 figure as a ceiling for a full programme of use and check the pack carefully for how many pods or how much liquid supplies that rating. If the listing specifies a pod count or a volume, use that to judge your likely longevity. If it does not, assume that a fixed 2ml pod will deliver far fewer puffs than the headline suggests, and plan on swapping pods or recharging accordingly.

What should you expect from the draw itself? The kit is designed for a smooth, medium-airy pull that suits mouth-to-lung (MTL) or a relaxed restricted lung style, depending on the airflow design. Vapour production is moderate rather than cloud-heavy. Draw activation should be automatic, meaning you simply inhale without pressing a button, which is the standard approach in this category. Some kits in this class add a small display or indicator light to show battery and e-liquid status, so check the listing images to see what your unit includes.

• Throat hit: light to medium at typical UK nicotine strengths.
• Vapour production: moderate, steady from first draw to the last third of the pod.
• Draw resistance: medium, suitable for people moving from cigarettes or lower-power pod kits.
• Consistency: the main variable is how fully the pod is saturated and how hard you draw.

A practical way to judge longevity is to track your own use. Note the date you open a pod and the date it runs out, and divide by your typical daily sessions. A light user taking a dozen short puffs a day will stretch a pod much further than someone who vapes all evening. After one pod you will know your personal figure, which is worth more than any printed rating.

Design and build quality

The WuKong V10000 is a slim, hand-filling device with a soft-edged body, a colourful finish that follows the Memers branding, and a mouthpiece shaped for comfortable lip contact. The sub-range is clearly aimed at a younger, style-conscious audience, but the design itself is practical: a rounded profile that sits easily in a hand or a pocket, and a surface finish designed to resist fingerprints reasonably well. The graphic design echoes the Sakura Grape flavour with purple and pink tones. Colours on screens can differ slightly from the real object, so expect small variations.

Build quality in this price tier is generally acceptable rather than premium. The shell is typically a mix of plastic and coated metal, with the pod seating firmly into the body. A good quality check when your device arrives is to press the pod in and listen for a firm, even click. A pod that sits loose or at an angle is the commonest reason for a device that seems dead or tastes burnt. You should also look at the airflow vent and the charging port to confirm that both are clear of debris and that nothing was damaged in transit.

Points to check when you unbox:

• The outer packaging seal and any tamper-evident sticker are intact.
• The mouthpiece is firmly attached and not cracked.
• The pod is seated correctly with no visible leak around its base.
• The USB-C port is straight and free from dirt.
• Any protective film or plastic cap on the pod contacts has been removed before first use.

For daily carry, a device this size is easy to protect with a simple sleeve or a pocket that does not contain keys or coins. Lithium-ion batteries are tough, but a hard knock can damage the cell or its protection circuitry. Do not leave the device in direct sunlight, in a hot car or in a bag next to a heater. Heat is the biggest everyday enemy of both the battery and the e-liquid. In cold weather, let a device that has been outdoors warm up for a few minutes before use, because very cold e-liquid is thicker and can lead to a weaker, sputtering first few puffs.

The overall impression is of a product designed to look lively and to survive normal use, rather than a device engineered to last for years. As the pods are replaceable, the device body should keep going well beyond a single pod if you look after the battery.

Battery and charging

Kits in the 10,000 puff class normally use a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery with USB-C charging. Capacity varies by model and batch, but devices of this type commonly sit somewhere in the region of 500mAh to 900mAh. We would rather point you to the figure printed on your pack than quote an exact number we cannot verify for every batch. As a rule of thumb, a battery in that range will cover a full day of moderate use before needing a top-up, and heavier users will want to charge once a day, ideally overnight or while at a desk.

USB-C is a real quality-of-life improvement over older micro-USB ports. The connector is reversible, the cable is easy to replace and most households already own a suitable charger. Use a standard 5V phone charger or a computer USB port. Avoid ultra-fast chargers with unusual voltage profiles unless they negotiate down to 5V, because the small battery in a pod device does not need a high-wattage charge and gains nothing from it.

Good charging habits extend the life of the cell:

• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, never on a bed or sofa cushion.
• Stay nearby while charging and never leave a device charging unattended for long periods.
• Unplug when the charge indicator shows full, rather than leaving it connected for days.
• Do not use a damaged or frayed cable, and never use a charger that gets unusually hot.
• Avoid charging in very hot or very cold rooms.

If your device uses an indicator light, a typical pattern is a steady or breathing light while charging and a change of colour or the light switching off when full. The pack leaflet will give the exact meaning for your model. Battery safety is a serious matter with any lithium-ion product, and UK Fire and Rescue Services regularly remind people that damaged or counterfeit vapes and chargers are a fire risk. Buying from a reputable UK retailer and using the supplied cable where possible lowers that risk.

As the battery ages, you may notice shorter runtime. A lithium-ion cell typically retains most of its capacity for a few hundred charge cycles, then declines gradually. If you charge every day, that means a year or more of reliable use. When the battery finally fades or the device is no longer wanted, it needs to be recycled properly, not thrown in a household bin. We cover that in the section on UK rules and recycling.

Coil and mesh technology

The coil is the part of the pod that heats e-liquid into vapour, and its design has a bigger influence on flavour and vapour than almost any other component. Devices in the WuKong V10000 class generally use a mesh coil. Instead of a round wire wrapped around a cotton wick, a mesh coil is a flat, perforated metal screen that sits against the wick. Because the screen has a much larger surface area, it heats more evenly, which tends to give a fuller flavour, fewer hot spots and a steadier vapour output across the life of the pod.

Coil resistance for pods in this tier usually sits roughly between 0.6 and 1.2 ohms, depending on whether the design is aimed at a tighter, cigarette-style draw or a looser airy pull. Check your pack for the stated resistance if it is printed. A lower resistance generally means warmer vapour and more output, while a higher resistance gives a cooler and more restrained draw. As the coil is integrated into the pod, you cannot change it independently. The pod and coil are replaced together.

Why mesh is popular in high-capacity pods:

• Even heating: the flat screen warms across its whole surface, reducing the chance of dry spots.
• Flavour clarity: sweet fruit flavours such as Sakura Grape tend to come across cleaner on a mesh coil.
• Longer wear: good wicking and a larger heating area help the coil last longer between replacements.
• Faster ramp-up: vapour starts promptly when you begin to draw.

Mesh coils still need to be treated sensibly. The most common reason for a coil to burn is dry hitting, which happens when the wick is not fully saturated with e-liquid and the coil heats cotton instead of liquid. To prevent this, let a new pod rest for a few minutes after unpacking so that the wick can soak up liquid. Avoid long chain-vaping sessions with no breaks, because the wick cannot always refill quickly enough. If you notice a burnt taste, stop using the pod. Continuing to vape on a burnt coil gives a harsh, unpleasant experience and can leave a lingering taste in the device.

Sweet e-liquids, particularly those containing sugars and sweeteners, leave more residue on coils than clear flavours. That is why heavy-use pods may taste muted before they run completely dry. It is a natural limit of the technology, and part of the reason replaceable pods exist.

Nicotine strength guidance for UK vapers

The UK sets a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml (2%) for e-liquids sold in vape products, and this limit applies to pods and cartridges as well as bottles. You will therefore see strengths up to 20mg/ml on UK listings, with some devices offered at lower strengths such as 10mg/ml or 0mg/ml. If a product claims a strength above 20mg/ml, treat it with suspicion, because it is not intended for the UK market. Always select the strength option shown on the product page and check the pack when it arrives.

Choosing the right strength is mostly a question of what you are replacing and how you like to vape. Here is a straightforward guide, based on common experience rather than medical advice:

• 20mg/ml (2%): usually chosen by people moving from smoking, especially those who smoked 10 or more cigarettes a day. It gives a firmer throat hit and the quickest satisfaction. It can feel harsh to non-smokers or occasional vapers.
• 10mg/ml (1%): a good middle ground for lighter smokers, people reducing their intake or anyone who finds 20mg too strong. The throat hit is gentler and the vapour smoother.
• 3mg to 6mg/ml: mostly suited to people who vape in an airy, high-volume style or who are working down to very low nicotine.
• 0mg/ml: nicotine-free, for people who enjoy the flavour and hand habit but want no nicotine at all.

Two points deserve emphasis. First, a larger, airier draw delivers more nicotine per puff than a short, tight one, so someone who takes long pulls on a 10,000-puff-class device may need a lower strength than they would on a small starter pod. Second, if you feel dizzy, nauseous, jittery or get a headache, you are probably taking in more nicotine than your body wants. Stop, drink some water, take fresh air and move to a lower strength next time.

Nicotine is addictive, and the products are intended for adult smokers and existing nicotine users. They are not for non-smokers and must not be sold to anyone under 18 in the UK. If you want help to quit nicotine entirely, your local NHS stop smoking service offers free support and can advise on suitable approaches. Nothing in this guide is medical advice. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before you vape.

Who the SKE Memers WuKong V10000 is for, and who should skip it

Every vape suits a certain kind of user. This kit is best matched to adult smokers or existing vapers who want a low-maintenance, flavour-led device that works as a long-lasting daily driver. It is not particularly technical, and there are no coils to rebuild or settings to learn. You charge it, draw and vape.

Good fit for:

• Adult smokers who have switched, or are switching, and want a simple automatic-draw device.
• Existing vapers who go through small pods quickly and are tired of changing them every day or two.
• People who like sweet, fruit-forward flavours with a gentle floral twist rather than strong menthol.
• Those who prefer one pod and a USB-C cable to carrying bottles, tools and spare coils.
• Shoppers who want a brand with a recognisable name in the UK market.

Probably not the right choice for:

• Anyone who has never smoked or vaped. Vapes are not for non-smokers or anyone under 18.
• People who want large clouds or a high-wattage experience. This is a modest-output pod device.
• Vapers who want to fine-tune airflow, power and coil resistance, who will be happier with a refillable pod or box mod.
• Those who dislike sweet flavours or prefer tobacco and menthol profiles.
• Very light, occasional users who may find a large-capacity kit unnecessary and the nicotine too strong.

It is also worth thinking about your routine. If you vape discreetly at work, in a shared house or on public transport, you will need to follow local rules and be considerate of others. Check the policy wherever you are, because many workplaces, trains, buses and indoor venues restrict or ban vaping. A device this size is easy to carry, but that does not make it permitted everywhere.

Finally, think honestly about why you are buying. For adult smokers, switching fully to vaping is widely regarded by UK public health bodies as considerably less harmful than continuing to smoke, although it is not risk-free. If you are not a smoker, the right amount of nicotine is none at all, and the kit is not for you.

How to use the kit: setup, first puffs and everyday handling

Setting up a kit like this takes a few minutes and a little patience. Following the steps in order protects the coil and gives you a better first impression of the flavour.

• Unbox and inspect. Check the seal, the device and the pod. Remove any protective film, plastic caps or stickers from the mouthpiece and pod base, as instructed on the pack.
• Seat the pod. Push the pod firmly into the device until it clicks. A loose connection is the commonest cause of a device that appears dead.
• Let it rest. Wait three to five minutes so that the wick can absorb e-liquid. Skipping this step is a typical cause of a burnt first few puffs.
• Charge if needed. Many kits ship with a partial charge. Topping up before first use is sensible, and it also gives the pod time to saturate.
• Take the first draws gently. Use two or three short, slow pulls of about two to three seconds, with a pause between each. This primes the coil.
• Settle into your style. Draw slowly and evenly. You do not need to press a button, since the airflow triggers the device.

For everyday use, keep the device upright when you can, particularly while carrying it. Leaving a device lying on its side for long periods can encourage condensation to collect in the airflow channel. If you notice moisture around the mouthpiece, wipe it with a dry tissue before the next puff.

Pace yourself. A large-capacity kit is easy to chain-vape, because it never seems to run out. Short breaks help the wick refill, keep the coil cooler and give your body a break from nicotine. If you are replacing cigarettes, many people find it helpful to take puffs at the moments they would otherwise have smoked, rather than constantly through the day.

When the pod is finished or the flavour clearly fades, replace it according to the instructions for your model. Do not try to refill a sealed pod unless the manufacturer specifically provides that option, because that can damage the coil, cause leaks and breach the safety design of the product. Store spare pods upright, in a cool place, away from children and pets. Nicotine e-liquid is harmful if swallowed, and any spillage on skin should be washed off with water.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with pod devices come down to a handful of causes, and most can be resolved in a minute or two. Work through these in order before deciding that something is faulty.

• The device does nothing when you draw. Re-seat the pod and check that it clicks into place. Make sure the battery has charge by plugging it in for at least ten minutes. Confirm that the protective film has been removed from the pod contacts.
• Weak vapour or faint flavour. Let the pod rest for a few minutes, then take slow draws to re-saturate the wick. If the pod is near the end of its life, the e-liquid level may simply be low.
• Burnt or harsh taste. This is usually caused by chain vaping or a dry wick. Stop using it for a while and resume with gentle puffs. If the taste persists, the coil is probably worn and the pod should be replaced.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess condensation in the airflow channel is the likely cause. Wipe the mouthpiece, hold the device upright and give a gentle blow through the mouthpiece (not a hard puff of air) to clear the channel, only if the manufacturer's leaflet allows it.
• Leaking. Check that the pod is firmly seated and not cracked. Avoid squeezing the pod and avoid high-temperature storage. Wipe away leaked e-liquid carefully and wash your hands.
• Indicator light flashing. The pattern normally signals low battery, short-circuit protection or a pod connection issue. Check the leaflet for your model, then re-seat the pod and charge.
• Device will not charge. Try a different USB-C cable and a different power source. Look inside the port for lint or debris and remove it carefully with a wooden toothpick, never metal.

If none of these steps works, stop using the device and contact the retailer with your order number and clear photos or a short video. Do not open the device, do not try to repair the battery, and never use a device that is hot, swollen, smoking or smelling of burning plastic. Move it away from flammable material, and if there is any sign of fire, leave the area and call 999.

Having a spare pod or a second device in reserve is a sensible habit for daily vapers, because it removes the pressure to carry on with a pod that is clearly past its best.

Value for money and how it compares with similar kits

Value is more than the price on the label, so it helps to think in terms of cost per day of use. Because the kit is designed for long life, you can divide the price by the number of days one pod lasts for you. A kit that costs a little more upfront but lasts two to three weeks may work out cheaper than a basic starter pod that needs replacing every few days. The honest caveat, again, is that your own consumption decides the answer. Heavy users will see shorter runtimes than the printed rating suggests.

Here is how the WuKong V10000 compares fairly with the main alternatives a UK vaper might be considering:

• Versus SKE Crystal-style kits. The Crystal range from the same maker is better known and has a larger flavour menu. The Memers line offers a playful look and the bigger rated capacity, so it suits someone who wants fewer top-ups and a sweeter, more distinctive flavour set.
• Versus refillable pod kits. Refillable systems give you control over the e-liquid, nicotine strength and coil, and long-term running costs can be lower. They also take more effort and carry a higher risk of spills. A ready-to-use kit is simpler and cleaner.
• Versus small prefilled closed-pod systems. Compact prefilled pod devices are discreet and cheap per pod, but you swap pods much more often. This kit is chunkier and aimed at users who prefer fewer changes.
• Versus large screen-equipped kits from other brands. Some competitors add adjustable power modes, bigger screens or dual mesh coils with higher advertised outputs. These can be more feature-rich, but they also cost more and drain the battery faster. The WuKong prioritises simplicity.

Where this kit may fall short is in customisation. You cannot adjust the wattage or swap the coil. The build is functional rather than premium, and the puff rating should not be taken literally. Where it does well is in being easy, consistent and pleasant to use, with a flavour that tastes appealing from first draw to last.

Price is the final consideration. Compare the total cost, not just the headline price, by including delivery, any replacement pods you will need and the expected life of the battery. Be wary of listings that are dramatically cheaper than the typical market price, because very low prices are a common sign of counterfeit stock or products that were not made for the UK market. Buying from an established UK retailer is the simplest way to avoid that problem.

UK rules, safe storage and recycling

Vaping in the UK is regulated, and understanding the basics keeps you on the right side of the law and helps you avoid unsafe products. Vape products must be sold by retailers who are legally permitted to supply them, and you must be 18 or over to buy them. Expect age checks when you order and, in some cases, on delivery. The nicotine strength cap of 20mg/ml applies, and product packaging must carry the required health warnings and ingredient information. A genuine UK product will show this clearly. If your pack lacks it, contact the retailer.

The Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) Regulations, which came into force across the UK on 1 June 2025, ended the supply of single-use vapes. That is why rechargeable kits like this one are now the mainstream format. It also means that when your device or pod reaches the end of its life, you have a duty of care to dispose of it properly.

Recycling matters because vapes contain lithium-ion batteries, plastics, metals and electronics. If these go into household waste or kerbside recycling, they can start fires in bin lorries and recycling plants, and valuable materials are lost. Here is how to dispose of your kit responsibly:

• Retail take-back. Shops that sell vapes are required to take back used vape products free of charge, even if you did not buy them there. Ask at the counter.
• Household waste recycling centres. Most local tips accept vapes in their small electrical (WEEE) collection point.
• Drop-off points. Many supermarkets and retailers host WEEE bins for small electricals, and some councils list nearby drop-off points on their websites.
• Protect the battery. If a device is visibly damaged, swollen or hot, do not carry it loose. Put it in a non-flammable container and ask your council or retailer for advice.

For safe storage at home, keep the device and spare pods in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not leave the device charging overnight on a soft surface, and do not store it with loose metal objects that could short the contacts. Pods contain nicotine, so keep them sealed and out of sight.

Responsible ownership is a small effort that makes a real difference: charge safely, use the product as intended, and recycle it properly at the end of its life.
