Cracking flavour
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
SKEThe SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Puffs Vape Kit Tropical Pineapple New by SKE in Tropical Pineapple - New at 10mg and 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
The SKE Memers WuKong V10000 Vape Kit in Tropical Pineapple is a high-capacity vape kit from SKE, a brand known for bold fruit and dessert flavours and loud, character-led packaging. The Memers range leans into internet-culture styling, and the WuKong name nods to the Monkey King of Chinese folklore, which explains the playful artwork and confident branding. Behind the styling sits a practical product: a pocket-sized, draw-activated device built to deliver a long run of consistent flavour with no buttons to press, no coils to prime by hand and no settings to learn.
The headline number is in the name. V10000 refers to the advertised puff count of up to 10,000 puffs. That is a manufacturer figure, so we treat it as a ceiling rather than a promise, and the next sections explain what affects how close you get to it. For most UK vapers the appeal is simple: a rechargeable battery, a single flavour that stays recognisable from the first puff to the last, and a device that can sit in a pocket or bag for weeks between top-ups of battery power.
Tropical Pineapple is a straightforward fruit profile: ripe, sweet pineapple with a juicy, slightly tangy edge and a soft tropical background. It belongs to the same family as pineapple ice, pineapple mango and pineapple coconut blends, but it keeps the focus on the pineapple itself. If you enjoy fruit flavours that taste like fruit rather than boiled sweets, this is a sensible place to start.
The kit format matters too. In UK shops a kit is the reusable device format, where the battery side is recharged and the device is designed for extended use rather than a quick throwaway session. Since the UK moved to restrict single-use vapes, shoppers have understandably become more careful about what they are buying, so it is worth confirming the exact configuration on the pack you receive. Specifications can vary slightly between batches and between versions that SKE releases under the same name. The word New in the listing title tells you this is the newer release of the WuKong V10000 line rather than older stock.
This guide walks through everything a buyer is likely to want to know before ordering:
Everything here is written for adult UK smokers and existing vapers. If you do not currently smoke or vape, this product is not for you, and nicotine products should never be used by anyone under 18.
A puff count on the box is calculated under machine-testing conditions, with a pump taking evenly spaced draws of a fixed length. Human beings do not vape like machines. We take long draws and short ones, we chain several puffs together after a meal and then leave the device untouched for hours. For that reason, a 10,000 puff claim is best read as the device's upper limit under ideal conditions, not the number you will count in everyday use.
As a planning figure, a moderate user who takes gentle draws can reasonably expect a good fraction of the headline number, and it would be sensible to plan around somewhere in the region of 6,000 to 8,000 real puffs. That is our own estimate rather than a manufacturer statement, but it is a more useful way to budget than assuming every one of the 10,000 will arrive. To put the arithmetic in perspective:
The experience across the life of the kit is generally steady. Mesh-coil devices in this class are designed to produce dense vapour and consistent flavour from the first draw, and well-built units hold that consistency until the final stretch. In the last 10 to 15 per cent you may notice the vapour thinning slightly and the sweetness flattening. That is normal behaviour as the liquid level drops and the coil has been through thousands of heat cycles.
The draw itself sits somewhere between a tight mouth-to-lung pull and a looser, airier draw. That makes it comfortable for people moving over from cigarettes, who tend to prefer the familiar sip-and-inhale style, while still giving enough airflow for a bigger lungful if you want one. If you have previously used small pod kits, the vapour will feel noticeably denser and the throat hit, at the same nicotine strength, a touch more rounded.
Several factors push your real-world puff count up or down:
The practical takeaway is that this kit is built for people who want to stop thinking about their vape for a good while. It is not designed for tinkering, and it rewards a steady, relaxed pattern of use.
Pineapple is one of the more difficult fruits to capture in an e-liquid, because the real thing swings between sugary sweetness and a sharp, almost acidic bite. The SKE take leans towards the ripe end of that range. On the inhale you get a juicy, sweet pineapple note that is bright without being sour. On the exhale the sweetness rounds out into a mellow tropical finish, a little like pineapple chunks from the tin with the syrup still on them, rather than fresh-cut fruit straight from the skin.
Here is how the profile tends to break down in use:
If you prefer a cooler, sharper experience, a pineapple ice variant from the same family, or a different fruit with a menthol layer, will suit you better. If you want a gentler, more dessert-like fruit, Tropical Pineapple is the more relaxed choice. The absence of a cooling agent also means the throat hit comes almost entirely from the nicotine, which is worth bearing in mind if you are choosing a strength.
Flavour fatigue is a real phenomenon with sweet fruit vapes, and it affects some people more than others. Because pineapple is bright and slightly tart, it tends to wear better than very heavy dessert flavours over a long device life. Many vapers find it easy to vape through the entire kit without the flavour becoming cloying. If you are the kind of person who gets bored of one taste quickly, keeping a second flavour in rotation will help.
A few practical tips for getting the best out of the flavour:
Sweetener and flavouring levels in kits of this type are generally on the higher side, which is why the flavour is easy to pick out even at lower nicotine strengths. That sweetness is also the reason coil care matters, a point we return to in the coil section below.
The WuKong V10000 is a compact, rounded-rectangle device that follows the pattern of most modern high-capacity kits: wider than a pen-style vape but slim enough to carry in a jacket pocket. The Memers styling means the outer shell is covered in vivid artwork, with the Tropical Pineapple version using warm yellow and green tones that make the flavour easy to identify at a glance. The finish is a smooth, slightly soft-touch coating rather than bare metal, which gives decent grip and avoids the cold, slippery feel of some polished shells.
Build quality in this segment varies, and it is fair to say that SKE sits in the sensible middle. The seams are tight on a properly made unit, the mouthpiece is firmly seated, and the charging port is cleanly cut. Like any mass-produced device at this price, you may occasionally see small cosmetic imperfections, so it is worth checking the unit when it arrives and contacting us promptly if anything is wrong.
Points worth noting about the physical design:
The weak points are the same as with any device in this class. Plastic and coated shells scuff when carried loose alongside keys and coins, and the mouthpiece can collect lint if it is not covered in a bag. A small pouch or a dedicated pocket for your vape goes a long way. Avoid leaving the kit in a car in summer or on a radiator in winter, since temperature extremes are hard on both the battery and the e-liquid.
Always check the pack for the exact specification of your version, including whether it has an on-body indicator light, as design details can differ from one production run to the next. Where an indicator is fitted, it normally flashes to show that the device has fired and changes behaviour when the battery is low or when there is a fault. We cover what those signals usually mean in the troubleshooting section.
The WuKong V10000 is a rechargeable kit with a USB-C port. High-capacity devices in this category generally contain a lithium-ion cell that, as a reasoned estimate, tends to fall somewhere between about 600 mAh and 900 mAh. Always check the exact figure printed on your pack, because manufacturers adjust cell sizes between versions. What matters in practice is how that cell is managed. Most kits of this type regulate their output so that vapour production and flavour stay stable as the battery drains, rather than fading quickly towards the end of a charge.
Because the device is rechargeable, you are not limited to a single battery cycle. This is a key difference from the older single-use format and the main reason kits of this kind remain on sale in the UK. One charge will typically cover a day or several days depending on how often you vape, and you can top it up whenever it suits you.
Charging is simple, but a few habits will extend the life of the battery:
Lithium-ion batteries are very safe in everyday use, but they do not like abuse. Do not use a device with a dented body, a swollen casing or a cracked charging port. Keep it away from strong heat, and do not leave it in direct sunlight on a windowsill. If the device ever becomes unusually hot, smells strongly of burning or hisses, stop using it, put it somewhere non-flammable such as a stone floor or outdoor surface, and contact your local fire service if you are concerned.
Recycling matters here. A vape containing a battery must never go in your general waste or kerbside recycling bin. Lithium-ion cells can short out in compactors and have been linked to fires at waste facilities across the UK. When the kit reaches the end of its life, take it to a household waste recycling centre that accepts small electrical items, or to a retail drop-off point. Shops that sell vapes are expected to offer take-back for waste electricals, and many supermarkets and DIY chains also have in-store bins for small electricals. Put it in with the other electrical items, not in the household recycling stream.
If you travel, carry the device in your hand luggage rather than your checked bag, and keep the mouthpiece covered to avoid accidental firing in a bag.
The WuKong V10000 uses a mesh coil, which is now the standard for this category of kit. Unlike a traditional round-wire coil, which heats a thin strand of wire in a spiral, a mesh coil is a thin, flat sheet of resistance material with thousands of tiny perforations. The sheet sits against the cotton wick and heats a much larger surface area at once. The result is faster heat-up, more even vaporisation and, in most cases, better flavour fidelity than older coil designs.
What this means for the user:
Coil resistance in devices of this type commonly sits somewhere around the 0.8 to 1.2 ohm range, which suits a mouth-to-lung style draw and pairs well with nicotine salt e-liquid. As with battery capacity, treat that as a typical range rather than a verified figure for your specific unit.
Long coil life is central to the 10,000 puff promise, and it comes down to wicking. A mesh coil needs a steady feed of liquid through the cotton to avoid drying out. When a device is working properly, the wick stays saturated and the coil lasts the full life of the kit. When the wick starves, the result is a dry or burnt hit, and that can happen if you chain vape too quickly or if the device is left tilted or on its side.
Sweet fruit e-liquids contain sweeteners that caramelise slightly on the coil over time. This residue, often called gunk, is the main reason flavour gradually softens over the life of a sweet fruit kit. You can slow it down by taking spaced puffs, avoiding long drags, and not vaping at maximum draw strength when the device is nearly empty.
Because the coil is sealed within the kit, you cannot replace it. That is part of the trade-off of a convenience device. If you are the sort of vaper who enjoys swapping coils and experimenting with wattage, a refillable pod system will serve you better. If you would rather not think about it at all, a sealed mesh coil design suits you.
UK law caps the nicotine strength of e-liquid sold for vaping at 20mg/ml, which is 2%. That cap applies to this device and to every comparable kit sold legally in the UK, so you will not find a legitimate retail listing with a higher figure. Nicotine strength in kits like this is typically nicotine salt rather than freebase, which gives a smoother throat hit at higher strengths than the same nicotine would in a traditional e-liquid.
Always check which strengths the product page offers, since available options differ between flavours and batches. As a general guide:
A common mistake is to choose too low a strength when switching from smoking. If the vape does not satisfy you, you will vape more often, take bigger draws and end up using more liquid, and you may drift back to cigarettes. Many adult smokers find that starting at the higher end and stepping down over several weeks is more successful than starting low and struggling with cravings.
Equally, choosing too high a strength brings its own problems. Signs you may be taking too much nicotine include dizziness, nausea, headaches, a racing heart or a harsh, burning throat. If you notice these, stop, take a break and consider a lower strength next time.
Because this flavour has little to no cooling, the throat hit will be driven by nicotine rather than menthol. That means 20mg will feel noticeably stronger than it would in an ice flavour, and a lighter smoker might prefer 10mg for this one.
A few important reminders:
Every vape suits a particular type of user, and it is more useful to be honest about that than to claim a device is for everyone. The SKE Memers WuKong V10000 is aimed at a fairly clear audience.
It is a good fit if you:
It may not suit you if you:
For ex-smokers, a kit like this can act as a simple and reliable maintenance device. The lack of controls means there is little to forget or get wrong, and the long puff count means you can go a good while between purchases. For people who vape casually, perhaps a handful of puffs after meals or on a night out, a device of this capacity will last a very long time. The main thing to watch is that a long-lived device left unused in a bag for months can lose some of its battery charge, so a top-up before you reach for it is a good habit.
If you are a heavy vaper who goes through a device every week or two, the cost-per-puff advantage of this format is where it makes the most sense, because you are spreading the purchase price across many thousands of puffs. If you are unsure which category you fall into, think about how often you currently reach for a vape or a cigarette, and how long a cheaper device lasts you. That will tell you quickly whether a high-capacity kit is the right size.
One of the strengths of this kind of device is that it is meant to work straight out of the box. If you are new to vaping, the following steps will get you started safely.
First-time vapers: start with a gentle puff and see how your throat and chest respond. Take your time. If you feel dizzy or nauseous, stop and give yourself a break. Vaping is different from smoking, and you do not need to inhale as deeply to get satisfaction. A mouth-to-lung style draw, where you hold the vapour in your mouth briefly and then inhale it, is the most comfortable technique with a device of this type.
Cleaning and care: wipe the mouthpiece with a dry or very slightly damp cloth now and then. Do not use alcohol-based products inside the airflow channels, and never submerge the device in water. Keep the charging port free from lint and dust, which can stop the connector seating properly.
Everyday safety:
Travel: airlines generally require lithium battery devices to be in cabin baggage and not in the hold. Rules on using a vape in the airport or onboard differ, and many airlines prohibit use entirely, so check before you fly.
At the end of its life: when the vapour stops, the flavour has gone and the device no longer responds even after charging, it has finished its job. Do not put it in the bin. Take it to a recycling drop-off point for small electricals, which you can find at council recycling centres and many large retailers, so the battery and electronic parts are handled safely.
Most problems with a sealed mesh-coil kit are simple and often fixable at home. If you have worked through the relevant item and the device still misbehaves, contact us with your order details and we will help.
When to stop using it: if the device becomes very hot, swells, emits smoke or a strong chemical smell, or has visible damage to the casing, stop using it straight away. Do not attempt to charge a damaged device. Place it somewhere safe and non-flammable and dispose of it through a recycling point for batteries and electricals. Never put a damaged lithium-ion device in household waste.
If your device arrives faulty or damaged, keep the packaging and take a clear photo or short video. UK consumer law gives you rights when a product is faulty, and we will deal with genuine faults promptly.
Working out whether a vape is good value is easier than it first appears. Divide the price you pay by the number of puffs you realistically get, and compare the result with the alternatives. Use a conservative puff count rather than the headline, and the answer will be honest.
As a worked example, using round numbers purely for illustration: if a kit costs £10 and delivers 7,000 real puffs, the cost works out at roughly 0.14p per puff. Even if you only achieve 5,000 puffs, the cost per puff is still very low. Check the current price on the product page, plug in your own numbers, and you will see where it lands.
Compare that with other ways of getting nicotine:
The value in a device like the WuKong V10000 is therefore convenience as much as cost. You pay a little more than you would for a basic pod, in exchange for a long stretch of use without topping up, refilling or changing parts. If your time is worth something and you dislike fiddling, that convenience has genuine value.
There are also things that eat into value, and they are worth being honest about:
Buying from a UK retailer with clear delivery and returns terms is part of the value equation too. Cheaper devices from unverified sellers can come with unreliable batteries, mislabelled strengths or no recourse if something goes wrong. A fair price from a seller you can contact is worth more than a few pounds saved.
No single vape suits everybody, so here is a fair comparison with the main alternatives a buyer might be weighing up. We have kept this general rather than quoting specifications for individual competitors, because specs change from batch to batch and we would rather be accurate than precise.
Against small pod kits (a few hundred puffs per pod): these are lighter, cheaper up front and simpler to pocket, but you replace pods or the whole device far more often. The WuKong V10000 carries a much larger supply and a bigger battery, so you buy less often. The trade-off is size and weight, since this is a chunkier device than a slim pod.
Against other high-capacity sealed kits from brands such as Geek Bar, Lost Mary, Elf Bar and Crystal: these sit in the same category, with similar mesh coil technology, similar puff-count claims and similar draw-activated operation. Flavour is the real differentiator. Each brand has its own house style, and a Tropical Pineapple from one brand will taste different from another's. SKE's fruit flavours are generally sweet and juicy, and some vapers prefer the slightly sharper profiles of rival brands. If you already have a favourite brand, a single device is a cheap way to see if SKE suits you better.
Against refillable pod systems: these give you control over flavour, nicotine strength and coil, and they work out cheaper to run over a year. They also need regular attention: refilling, coil changes, cleaning and a stock of bottles. If you enjoy that process they are an excellent choice, and honestly the better value option for the long term. If you do not, a sealed kit is the path of least resistance.
Against bigger-puff-count sealed kits (15,000 puffs and above): some manufacturers push the claim even higher. In practice, the extra headline capacity comes with more weight and a bigger footprint, and many users do not finish those devices before the flavour has faded. A 10,000 puff device sits at a sensible midpoint for most users.
Where the WuKong V10000 does well:
Where it is less strong:
The honest summary is that this is a competent, convenient kit in a crowded category. Choose it for the flavour, the capacity and the lack of fuss, and look elsewhere if control or lowest long-term cost matters more to you.

SKE Crystal was the disposable brand everyone copied in the UK, and today SKE Bar and Crystal Pro keep that flavour library alive in reload-pod form. Expect pin-sharp fruit and ice combinations with a consistent 20mg nic-salt hit.
UK law caps vape nicotine at 20mg/ml, and 20mg suits smokers of around ten or more cigarettes a day who want a firm throat hit. Lighter smokers often prefer 10mg, while 5mg or 0mg suits people stepping down. Check which strengths are offered on the product page, as options vary by flavour and batch.
Use the USB-C port with a standard 5V charger or a computer USB port, and expect roughly one to two hours for a full charge. Unplug it once it is full and do not charge it unattended on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa. Avoid vaping while it is charging.
The flavour is fixed within the device, so you cannot change it once you have it. SKE offers the WuKong V10000 in a range of other fruit, ice and dessert flavours, and you can browse them in the SKE section of our store. If you like to rotate tastes, keep a second device on hand.
The advertised figure is up to 10,000 puffs, but that is measured by machine under ideal conditions. We would suggest planning around 6,000 to 8,000 real puffs, which is several weeks for a moderate user. Chain vaping and long draws will shorten that, while spaced puffs help it go further.
The cost per puff is very low compared with cigarettes and small pod kits, and you get a long stretch of use with no refilling or coil changes. A refillable pod system will usually be cheaper over a full year but needs more effort. Divide the current price by roughly 7,000 puffs to see your own figure.
It suits adult smokers and existing vapers who want a simple, low-maintenance device with a sweet pineapple flavour. It is not suitable for under 18s, non-smokers, or anyone who is pregnant or has a medical condition without speaking to their GP first. People who like to adjust settings or switch flavours may prefer a refillable system.
Never put it in your general waste or kerbside recycling, because the lithium-ion battery can cause fires. Take it to a household recycling centre that accepts small electricals or to a retail drop-off point for waste electricals. Retailers that sell vapes are expected to offer take-back, so ask in store if you are unsure.

Excellent all round. Will absolutely be ordering again. Customer service was helpful too.
Can't fault it. Quality is there, flavour is there, delivery was quick. What more could you want.
Picked this up on the multibuy deal and I'm stocked up for a while. Flavours are all on point.
Great product for the price point. Works exactly as advertised. No surprises, just a solid vape.
Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
