SKE Bar 600 Prefilled Vape Kit

The SKE Bar 600 Prefilled Pod Kit brings together everything that made SKE's disposables popular, but with the added benefit of being rechargeable and more cost-effective. If you've been looking for a way to enjoy SKE's signature crystal design without constantly buying new devices, this kit hits the sweet spot perfectly. It's essentially a reusable version of their bestselling disposables, offering the same great flavours and smooth vaping experience.

What sets this apart from other prefilled pod systems is SKE's attention to detail in the design - that distinctive crystallised look isn't just for show, it actually makes the device easier to grip. The 400mAh battery provides enough power for a full day's vaping, whilst the prefilled pods deliver up to 600 puffs each. You're getting the convenience of a disposable with the economics of a rechargeable system, which frankly makes a lot more sense for regular vapers.

Key Features

Battery Performance and Charging

The built-in 400mAh battery might seem modest compared to some larger devices, but it's perfectly sized for this type of kit. You'll get roughly a day's worth of moderate vaping before needing to charge, and the USB-C charging means it tops up quickly - usually within 45 minutes. The LED indicator shows your battery status clearly, though I wish it was slightly brighter.

Pod System and Compatibility

Each prefilled pod contains 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid, which is the maximum allowed under UK regulations. The pods click into place securely, and I've never had one come loose in my pocket. However, you need to make sure you're buying the correct SKE Bar 600 pods - they're not compatible with other SKE devices.

Coil Technology and Vapour Production

The dual mesh coil setup delivers excellent flavour reproduction and decent vapour production for an MTL (mouth-to-lung) device. The 1.1ohm resistance provides a satisfying throat hit that's particularly good for former smokers. The draw activation works reliably, though occasionally it can be a touch sensitive.

Crystal Design Heritage

SKE's signature crystal-clear design isn't just aesthetic - it serves practical purposes too. The transparent sections let you see the internal components, and the crystallised texture provides better grip than smooth plastic. It's become somewhat iconic in the UK vaping scene, and honestly, it does look quite premium for the price point.

Prefilled Pod Convenience

Unlike refillable pod systems where you need to mess about with bottles of e-liquid, these pods come ready to vape. Each pod is sealed and fresh, eliminating the possibility of leaks during filling or contamination. The trade-off is less flavour variety compared to buying separate e-liquids, but for convenience, it's hard to beat.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Disposables

If you're currently using SKE disposables regularly, this kit will save you money in the long run. The initial investment is higher, but replacement pods cost significantly less than buying new disposables. Plus, you're reducing waste, which is increasingly important as environmental concerns grow.

How to Use and Maintenance

Getting started with the SKE Bar 600 is straightforward, but there are a few tips that'll improve your experience. First, charge the device fully before first use - this helps calibrate the battery indicator properly. Remove the pod from its packaging and check that the bottom contacts are clean before inserting.

To insert a pod, simply push it into the device until you hear a click. There's only one way it fits, so you can't insert it incorrectly. The magnetic connection is strong enough to hold securely but allows easy removal when needed.

For optimal performance, store spare pods at room temperature and avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight. The e-liquid can separate in extreme temperatures, affecting flavour quality. When the pod is finished, you'll notice a significant drop in flavour and vapour production - that's your cue to swap it out.

Maintenance is minimal but important. Wipe the device contacts occasionally with a dry cloth to prevent build-up. If you notice reduced performance, check that the air vents aren't blocked by pocket lint. The device is designed to last for hundreds of pod changes, but like any electronic device, it'll eventually wear out.
