SKE Crystal Original Nic Salts: The Best Alternative to Disposables in 2026
With the UK disposable vape ban now fully in force, vapers across the country are searching for a way to keep the intense, vibrant flavours they love without breaking the law. The SKE Crystal Original 10ml Nic Salt collection is the ultimate solution.
By bottling the exact secret formula used in the legendary Crystal Bar, SKE allows you to enjoy a premium crystal vape experience in any refillable pod kit. Whether you are using a Vaporesso Xros 5 or the Oxva Xlim Pro 2, these salts deliver that signature "disposable hit" with 100% authenticity.
Why Smart Vapers are Switching to SKE Salts
As we move toward the October 2026 Vaping Products Duty, which will add a flat-rate tax of £2.20 (plus VAT) to every 10ml bottle, there has never been a better time to switch from expensive pre-filled pods to bottled nic salts.
The Data: Why SKE 10ml Salts Win
-
Massive Savings: One 10ml bottle of SKE Original (£3.29) contains as much liquid as five standard 2ml disposables. You save over £20 per bottle compared to old disposable prices.
-
Beat the 2026 Tax: By switching to refillables now, you can stockpile your favourite flavours before the new £2.20 per-bottle tax takes effect in October.
-
Smoother Satisfaction: These nicotine salts are formulated with a lower pH, meaning you get a silky-smooth throat hit even at 20mg (2%) strength.
-
Eco-Friendly Choice: Help reduce the "avalanche of waste" by moving to a rechargeable and refillable system.
Top-Rated SKE Crystal Vape Flavours
Not sure which one to try first? Based on real-time UK vape scene data, these are our current bestsellers:
-
Blue Razz Gummy: The #1 choice for sweet-toothed vapers. It combines the tartness of blue raspberry with a chewy, candy-like finish.
-
Watermelon Strawberry: A refreshing, juicy blend that mimics the top-selling SKE disposable flavour perfectly.
-
Gami Rare: A nostalgia-packed "gummy bear" profile that remains one of the most searched crystal vape flavours in 2026.

Best Hardware for SKE Crystal Salts
To get the "Crystal Bar" taste, you need a device that doesn't overheat the delicate flavour concentrates.
-
The Oxva Series: The Oxva Xlim Pro 2 is the industry standard for nic salts. Its 0.8ohm mesh pods are specifically tuned to bring out the sweetness in SKE's formula.
-
The Vaporesso Xros Family: If you want a leak-proof daily driver, the Vaporesso Xros 4 or Xros 5 utilizes COREX heating technology to ensure your coils last longer, even with highly sweetened "Bar Salts."
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these salts legal after the 2025 disposable ban?
Yes! The ban only applies to single-use, non-refillable devices. SKE Crystal Original 10ml bottles are fully TPD-compliant, legal, and "ban-exempt," making them the safest long-term choice for UK vapers.
How much nicotine is in SKE salts?
We stock two strengths to suit your needs:
-
20mg (2%): Matches the strength of a standard disposable; perfect for heavy smokers.
-
10mg (1%): A smoother, lighter option for those looking to reduce their nicotine intake.
How long does one bottle last?
A single 10ml bottle provides approximately 3,000 puffs. For most vapers, one bottle lasts between 3 and 5 days, making it the most cheap vapes option on the market today.
