SKE Crystal CL6000 Pod Kit Pack of 5: what is in the pack

SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled Pod Kit Pack of 5 is five complete CL6000 kits sold together as a single order. Each kit pairs a rechargeable SKE battery body with a prefilled nicotine salt pod, and each carries the CL6000 headline rating of 6,000 puffs. The pack is priced at £34.99, which comes to £7.00 per kit, against £8.99 for a single CL6000 kit bought on its own.

SKE is the company behind the Crystal Bar line, which became one of the better known names in UK vaping during the 600-puff disposable years. The CL6000 sits in the rechargeable pod category instead, and it is built to sit inside the rules that now apply here: a 2ml pod, a maximum of 20mg/ml nicotine, and a battery you recharge rather than throw away. Single-use vapes have been illegal to sell anywhere in the UK since 1 June 2025, and that change is the main reason pod kits like this one now occupy the shelf space disposables used to hold.

Each pack-of-5 listing covers one flavour, so you receive five matching kits. The family has ten flavours: Blue Razz Lemonade, Blueberry Raspberries, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Cherry Ice, Fizzy Cherry, Lemon and Lime, Pink Lemonade, Sour Pineapple, Strawberry Burst and Watermelon Ice. This page is the family overview and the flavour is chosen on the individual product page.

The essentials at a glance:

• Contents: five CL6000 prefilled pod kits, all in one flavour
• Headline rating: 6,000 puffs per kit, so 30,000 puffs across the pack on the same basis
• E-liquid: nicotine salt, in a 2ml prefilled pod, which is the UK maximum for a pod or tank
• Power: rechargeable battery, charged over USB
• Activation: draw-activated, so there is no button to press
• Price: £34.99 for the pack, or £7.00 per kit
• Age: 18 and over only, with ID checks at point of sale and delivery

A note on how this page is written. Where SKE publishes a figure, such as the 6,000 puff rating, we quote it and say it is a manufacturer claim. Where SKE does not publish a figure, such as exact battery capacity or coil resistance, we describe what is typical for kits of this type and label it as typical. That keeps the page honest, and it means you can judge the product on realistic expectations rather than a number on the box.

Puff delivery and performance: reading the 6,000 figure honestly

The CL6000 name carries a claim, and it is worth being straight about what the claim means. A rating of 6,000 puffs is a manufacturer figure produced under machine-draw conditions. A UK pod is capped at 2ml, and 2ml of nicotine salt liquid delivers several hundred puffs at a normal pace, not several thousand. The pod range under this name is listed as Prefilled Pods and Refill Containers, and the kit is tagged as refillable in our catalogue. As we read it, that tells you how the 6,000 figure is reached: it assumes the kit is topped up over its life, not that one sealed 2ml pod lasts for 6,000 draws.

In practice, think of each kit as a device that keeps working for as long as its battery and coil hold up, with the supplied pod covering the first stretch of use. Realistic expectations look like this:

• The supplied prefilled pod gives roughly 600 to 800 puffs for most people, which is about two to four days for a moderate vaper
• A user taking 150 puffs a day will stretch a pod to around a week, and a heavy user at 20mg may finish one in under two days
• Longevity beyond the first pod depends on whether you use replacement pods or refill, and on how quickly the coil wears
• Draw length matters: short, gentle puffs use less liquid and keep the coil cooler than long, hard pulls

Vapour and throat hit are what you would expect from a nicotine salt pod kit. The draw is mouth-to-lung, meaning you pull vapour into your mouth first and inhale second, the way you would with a cigarette. Vapour volume is moderate and tidy, throat hit at 20mg is noticeable but smooth, and at 10mg it is softer and suits people who found stronger pods harsh.

Flavour delivery tends to be consistent for most of a pod. The common pattern is a strong first few days, a plateau, then a gradual fade in the last fifth of the liquid as the wick has less to draw on. If flavour drops suddenly while the pod still looks half full, that points to a coil or airflow problem rather than empty liquid, and the troubleshooting section further down covers it.

The pack format has a practical performance benefit. With five kits you can keep one in a bag, one at your desk and one at home, so you are never relying on a single battery that happens to be flat. Spreading use across several kits also means each coil sees fewer hours, which helps flavour hold up.

Flavour range: the ten options in the CL6000 family

The CL6000 family is built around fruit, ice and sour sweets, which is where most UK demand sits. The descriptions below are drawn from the flavour names and the style SKE uses across its Crystal products, and individual palates will differ. Each pack-of-5 contains one flavour only.

• Blue Razz Lemonade: blue raspberry candy sweetness sitting on a lemonade base, with a sharp finish that stops it becoming cloying. A good starting point if you like sweet-and-sour.
• Blueberry Raspberries: a two-berry blend with soft, jammy blueberry in the middle and a brighter raspberry top note. No cooling, so it reads as a straight sweet fruit flavour.
• Blueberry Sour Raspberry: the same pair with a sherbet-style tang added. The sourness lands on the exhale and gives the profile more edge.
• Cherry Ice: sweet candy cherry rather than fresh orchard fruit, with menthol cooling on the exhale. Cooling is moderate, so it refreshes without numbing.
• Fizzy Cherry: cherry with the prickle of a fizzy sweet. Expect confectionery, not fruit juice.
• Lemon and Lime: a citrus profile with a soda-like sharpness. It is the lightest and driest of the ten, and the one least likely to tire your palate over a long day.
• Pink Lemonade: a rounder, sweeter lemonade than the lemon-lime option, typically with a faint berry sweetness under the citrus.
• Sour Pineapple: tropical fruit with a sour sweets edge. Pineapple is a strong note in vape flavours, so this one tends to be vivid from the first draw.
• Strawberry Burst: ripe strawberry in candy form, sweet and rounded, with no cooling agent.
• Watermelon Ice: light, juicy watermelon with a cooling finish. A summery flavour that works in any season because it is not heavy.

If you are unsure how to choose, here is a rough guide. Pick the sweet berries (Blueberry Raspberries, Strawberry Burst) if you want an easy, rounded flavour. Pick the ice options (Cherry Ice, Watermelon Ice) if you want a cooler, more refreshing exhale. Pick the sour options (Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Sour Pineapple, Blue Razz Lemonade) if you get bored of sweetness quickly.

One practical point for a five-kit pack: you will vape the same flavour for weeks. Flavour fatigue is real, so if you have never tried a particular profile, a single kit at £8.99 is a cheap way to test before committing to the pack. The sweeter, more complex blends tend to wear on people faster than citrus or mild fruit-and-ice flavours.

Design and build quality

SKE's Crystal range is known for a translucent shell finish, which is where the name comes from, and the CL6000 follows that look. The body is moulded plastic with a smooth, rounded profile that sits comfortably between two fingers and slips into a jeans pocket without catching. It is a light kit, which matters if you carry it all day, and the trade-off of that lightness is that it is a plastic device and should be treated as one.

The pod is the most important part of the build. It clicks into the top of the battery body and should seat firmly with a small but definite resistance. The mouthpiece is part of the pod, so every pod change also gives you a fresh mouthpiece. The translucent pod material generally lets you see the liquid level, which is useful because it lets you judge when a pod is close to empty before flavour starts to fade.

Build points to check when you open the pack:

• The pod seats flush with the body and does not wobble
• The charging port is clear of debris and sits straight
• The shell has no cracks near the pod connection, which is the stress point on any pod kit
• The air intake is not blocked by packaging film or a label

Durability is realistic rather than exceptional. A kit like this will survive normal pocket and bag use, but it will not enjoy being dropped onto tile or sat on. Keep it out of a back pocket, and out of a bag with keys, and it should last the working life of its coil without cosmetic trouble. Heat is the other enemy: leaving a kit on a car dashboard in summer can thin the liquid, force it past the wick, and cause leaking.

Having five identical kits has one quiet benefit for build quality. If one unit turns out to have a seating or charging fault straight out of the box, you have four others while the faulty one is sorted under the returns process, rather than being left with nothing.

Battery, charging and end of life recycling

SKE does not publish the CL6000 battery capacity prominently. Rechargeable pod kits at this level typically carry a cell in the region of 500 to 650mAh, and that is the range to expect rather than a confirmed specification. A cell of that size usually runs through around one 2ml pod on a charge, give or take, depending on how hard you draw. Charging is over USB, with USB-C the norm on current SKE kits, so check the port on your unit.

Practical charging notes:

• Expect a full charge to take somewhere in the region of 40 to 60 minutes with a standard phone charger
• Use a standard 5V charger or a laptop port. Fast chargers that push higher voltages are not needed and add risk
• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, not under a pillow or on a sofa cushion
• Do not leave a kit charging overnight or unattended for long periods
• If the kit becomes hot, swollen or smells odd while charging, unplug it and stop using it
• Do not vape while charging unless the device is explicitly designed for it, and do not use a damaged cable

Battery wear is gradual. After a few months of daily charging, lithium cells lose some capacity and you will charge more often. The kit does not need a cycle of full discharge to keep the battery healthy, and topping up at 20 to 30 per cent is better for the cell than running it to empty each time.

Recycling matters here because a rechargeable kit contains a lithium-ion cell that must not go in household bins or general recycling. Lithium batteries can ignite in bin lorries and waste facilities, and fires from discarded vapes are a documented problem across the UK. When a CL6000 kit reaches the end of its life, take it to a proper drop-off point:

• Retailers that sell vapes are required to offer free take-back of used vapes, so you can return them in store
• Household waste recycling centres run by councils accept small electricals, including vapes
• Many supermarkets and electrical shops have small electrical collection bins
• A postcode finder such as the Recycle Your Electricals service will show your nearest drop-off point

Used pods can go in the same electricals stream where your local scheme accepts them. With a five-kit pack you will be recycling five devices over time, so it is worth keeping a small bag by the door and taking them all in one trip.

Pod and coil technology

The CL6000 uses a closed pod design: a sealed 2ml cartridge of nicotine salt e-liquid with the coil built into the pod. You do not choose a coil or screw anything together. When the pod is spent, or the coil has worn, you replace the whole pod. This is the simplest format in vaping, and it is the reason these kits suit people who want no fuss.

SKE does not publish coil resistance or a coil type for the CL6000. Kits in the 6,000-puff tier commonly use a mesh coil, a flat sheet of woven metal that heats a wide area of the wick, in the region of 0.8 to 1.2 ohms. Treat that as typical for the category, not a quoted specification. Mesh coils generally offer these characteristics:

• Even heating across the wick, which gives more consistent flavour from the first draw to the last
• Fast ramp-up, so the vapour arrives promptly when you inhale
• Good tolerance for nicotine salt liquids, which are thicker than freebase liquids and need a coil that wicks them well
• A longer flavour life than the older round-wire coils used in early disposables

The e-liquid is a nicotine salt formulation. Salt nicotine is absorbed faster than freebase and feels noticeably smoother at higher strengths, which is why 20mg is manageable in a small device while the same strength in freebase would be harsh. The base liquid is the usual blend of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, with flavouring and nicotine. Propylene glycol carries the flavour and the throat hit, while glycerine contributes vapour and body.

A few coil care points that apply to every closed pod:

• Let a new pod sit for a few minutes before the first draw so the wick can saturate
• Avoid chain vaping, because continuous draws heat the coil faster than the wick can resupply it
• If the pod can be refilled, only use nicotine salt liquid at a strength within the UK limit, and never fill past the 2ml mark
• A burnt taste means the coil is dry or worn, and the pod should be replaced rather than pushed further

UK rules also shape this section. Refill bottles of nicotine liquid are limited to 10ml, pods and tanks to 2ml, and nicotine strength to 20mg/ml. Any pod that exceeds those limits is not a legal UK product, so be wary of imports sold outside normal retail channels.

Nicotine strength: choosing between 10mg and 20mg

SKE makes the CL6000 range in 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt strengths. Because the pack-of-5 listing varies by flavour and strength, check the strength shown on the product page before you order, and treat the label on the pod as the final word. The UK limit is 20mg/ml, which is 2 per cent, and it applies to every nicotine vape product sold here. That cap was the same for disposables when they were still legal, and it is the reason 20mg is the top option on almost every pod kit.

How to choose:

• 20mg: suited to people who smoked around ten or more cigarettes a day and are switching fully. It gives a firm throat hit and satisfies cravings quickly. It is also the strength that disappears fastest, because stronger liquid is drawn on more often.
• 10mg: suited to lighter smokers, to social smokers, to people stepping down from 20mg, and to anyone who finds 20mg too sharp. The throat hit is softer, and many people end up taking more draws, which is fine.

A common mistake is choosing the lower strength to feel more cautious, then chain vaping to compensate. If you find you are drawing on the kit constantly, the strength is probably too low for your needs, and moving up is more sensible than puffing harder. The reverse also applies. If you feel lightheaded, slightly sick or jittery, you are taking in more nicotine than you want, and a lower strength is the fix.

For people stepping down over time, the usual path is 20mg, then 10mg, then lower strengths if you wish. A pack of five is a long enough supply to settle at one strength. If you are unsure, buy a single kit in each strength first, since the cost is small compared with committing to a pack you may not like.

A few safety points. Nicotine is addictive. These products are for adults who already use nicotine, and they are not for non-smokers, young people, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or diabetes, or you take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before switching. Our pods are sold under the UK rules requiring a health warning on the pack, and you should keep the leaflet.

Who the CL6000 pack suits, and who should skip it

A five-kit pack is a specific purchase. It makes sense for some vapers and very little sense for others, so here is the honest breakdown.

This pack suits:

• Adult smokers who have switched to vaping and want a dependable, no-fuss device that does not need setup
• Regular vapers who go through a kit every couple of weeks and want to buy once instead of reordering
• People who like a particular flavour and are happy to stay with it
• Households or friends sharing an order, where each person takes a kit or two from the pack
• Anyone who keeps spare vapes in several places, such as a car, desk and bag, to avoid being caught short
• Former disposable users who want the same simplicity, now in a rechargeable form that is legal to sell

You should skip it if:

• You have never tried the flavour. Buy a single kit first
• You are not currently using nicotine. Nicotine products are not for non-smokers
• You want adjustable airflow, adjustable power or a direct-to-lung draw. Look at a refillable pod mod instead
• You want the lowest running cost over a year. Refillable systems with bottled e-liquid cost less per millilitre
• You are under 18, or buying for someone who is
• You prefer to vary your flavours daily. Each pack is one flavour, and a mixed order of single kits would suit you better

There is also a middle group worth naming. If you are a light, occasional vaper who might use one kit in three months, a five-kit pack will sit in a drawer and the savings per kit mean nothing. The pack rewards regular use. It is worth it if you will actually finish five kits, and not worth it if you will not.

Finally, remember the legal age. Vape products are for adults aged 18 and over, and we check age at checkout and on delivery. A pack bought for someone underage is a legal problem for the person who buys it.

How to use and set up your CL6000 kit

The CL6000 is built for minimal setup. This is the step-by-step routine for a fresh kit from the pack.

• Check the contents: confirm the pod is fitted and the body has no cracks. Remove any film, label or seal from the pod or air intake
• Charge it first: give the new kit a short charge before first use, even if the battery has some charge in it, so you start from a known level
• Let the pod saturate: after fitting or replacing a pod, wait five minutes with the kit upright before the first draw
• Take gentle draws: activate the kit by inhaling on the mouthpiece. A slow, steady three-second draw works better than a hard pull, and there is no button to hold
• Pause between puffs: leave around 20 to 30 seconds between draws so the wick keeps up
• Store it upright: in a bag or pocket, keep the mouthpiece pointing up, which reduces the chance of leaks

If you are refilling, which the CL6000 pod system allows according to the product naming, take extra care. Use nicotine salt liquid at or below 20mg/ml, pour slowly into the fill port, and stop before the liquid reaches the top so you do not flood the airflow channel. Wipe any spills from the pod and body, and wait a few minutes before using the kit. Refilling can extend the life of a pod, but each coil has a limited life of its own, and a worn coil will taste burnt whatever you put in it.

When to replace the pod:

• The flavour has faded and the liquid window looks nearly empty
• The vapour tastes burnt or harsh even after you pause and take lighter draws
• The pod is visibly leaking or the mouthpiece is cracked

Using five kits in rotation is a simple way to reduce wear. Alternate between two kits in the same week and the coils get a rest, the batteries cycle more evenly, and you are less likely to run flat at a bad time. Keep spare kits in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets.

Troubleshooting: common faults and fixes

Most pod kit problems have simple causes. Work through these before assuming the kit is faulty.

• No vapour when you inhale: check the pod is seated fully by pressing it until it clicks. Check the battery by plugging the kit in for a few minutes, and make sure the air intake is not covered by a finger, label or lint. If the pod is empty, replace it
• Weak or fading flavour: this is usually a worn coil or a nearly empty pod. If the pod still holds liquid, try leaving it upright for a few minutes to resaturate, then take gentler draws. If the flavour does not return, change the pod
• Burnt or harsh taste: the coil is dry or worn. Stop using that pod. Avoid chain vaping, which dries the wick, and do not keep drawing on a burnt coil because it will only get worse
• Leaking from the mouthpiece or base: leaks come from heat, pressure changes or overfilling. Wipe the pod and body dry, store the kit upright, and avoid leaving it in a hot car or on a radiator. If the pod keeps leaking, replace it
• Gurgling or spitting: usually a flooded coil. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear the airflow channel, wipe it clean and wait a few minutes
• Will not charge: try a different cable and a different power source. Clean the port with a dry wooden toothpick, not a metal pin. If nothing changes, the unit may be faulty and should go through the returns process
• Battery drains quickly: a kit left in a cold place loses charge faster. Warm it to room temperature and charge again. Persistent fast drain on a newish kit points to a faulty cell
• Sticky pod or residue on the body: wipe with a slightly damp cloth, dry thoroughly and check the pod seat for leaks

Safety comes first with any lithium battery device. If a kit gets unusually hot in use, makes a hissing or popping sound, swells, or smells of burning, stop using it, put it somewhere non-flammable such as a stone floor or a metal tray, and contact the retailer. Do not charge it or recycle it in household bins.

If you have worked through the list and the kit still does not work, a fault from new is covered by the usual consumer rights on goods of satisfactory quality. Keep your order number and take a clear photo of the issue, and contact our customer service team with both.

Value for money: pack of 5 versus buying singles

Price is the main reason to buy a five-pack, so here are the numbers on the current listings.

• Pack of 5: £34.99, which is £7.00 per kit
• Single kit: £8.99 each. Five singles at full price would cost £44.95
• Single kit multibuy: three for £25, which is £8.33 each. Three on that deal plus two at £8.99 comes to £42.98

The pack saves £9.96 compared with five singles at full price, and £7.99 compared with using the three-for-£25 deal and then buying two more. Per kit, you are paying £1.99 less than the single price, a saving of about 22 per cent. The single kits do have one advantage, which is that they let you mix flavours, and you will pay for that flexibility.

On the headline rating, 30,000 puffs for £34.99 works out at roughly 0.12p per puff. That is a theoretical figure, because the 6,000 rating is a manufacturer claim and real-world use will be lower. A fairer way to think about running cost is by time: if each kit lasts you two to three weeks, the pack covers around ten to fifteen weeks of vaping at £7.00 a kit, or roughly £2.30 to £3.50 a week.

Other costs to include:

• Replacement pods are listed separately, currently at £5.99, so check what that price covers before you plan around it
• Refill liquid, if you refill, adds a small running cost per millilitre
• A spare charging cable if you do not already have a USB lead

How it compares with the longer term options. A refillable pod system has a higher setup cost, typically £15 to £30, but bottled nicotine salt liquid costs far less per millilitre than liquid sold inside a prefilled pod, so heavy users save money over a year. A prefilled kit costs more per millilitre in exchange for zero maintenance. For a light-to-moderate vaper who values convenience, that trade is usually reasonable. For a heavy vaper chasing the lowest bill, it is not.

Value also depends on waste. If you are unsure about the flavour and end up with four kits you do not use, the saving is gone. Buy the pack when you know what you like, and test with a single kit when you do not.

How the CL6000 compares with other pod kits

Fair comparisons are only possible within the same category, and the CL6000 is a closed, prefilled, draw-activated pod kit with a rechargeable battery. Here is how it stacks up against the alternatives most buyers consider.

• SKE 30K Pro Max Pods (about £8.99): a higher puff rating from the same brand. The larger figure is a marketing number on a UK-capped 2ml pod, and it reads as headroom from refilling. If you want a larger claimed figure and are happy to refill, it is worth a look. If you want a simple kit, the CL6000 does the same job at a similar price.
• Vampire Vape 10K Prefilled Pod Kit (about £8.99): a closely comparable product at an identical single-kit price, with a 10,000 puff claim. The flavour range differs, so the decision usually comes down to which flavours you like. Our pack offer makes the CL6000 cheaper per kit when bought as five.
• Elf Bar Mate 500 and Lost Mary Tappo style pod kits: established closed-pod kits with smaller puff ratings, simple operation and widely available replacement pods. They are comparable on convenience, and a good test of whether you prefer a lower or higher rated device.
• Refillable pod systems such as the Vaporesso XROS and OXVA Xlim families: these usually have larger batteries, adjustable airflow and a choice of coils. Running costs are lower, but you will refill from bottles, handle spares and learn a little more. They suit vapers who want control, and the CL6000 suits those who do not.

Where the CL6000 is weaker than some alternatives: it gives less control, a smaller battery than a refillable mod, and the 6,000 puff claim is a rating that needs context. Where it is stronger: it needs no setup, it is simple to use, the flavour range is wide at ten options, and the pack price per kit is competitive with the single-kit price of comparable products.

One caution on comparing puff counts. Ratings above a few hundred puffs on a single 2ml pod are not directly comparable across brands, because each brand tests differently and several count refill capacity. When two kits claim 6,000 and 10,000 puffs, you should not conclude that one lasts two thirds longer. Compare price per kit, flavour, battery size and how the replacement pods are priced instead.

Overall, the CL6000 pack is a sensible mainstream choice for adults who want a simple rechargeable kit in a wide range of flavours and who will actually use five of them. It is not the right pick if you are chasing control, the lowest running cost, or a product with strong third-party testing data, since those are things we cannot claim for it.
