The SKE Crystal 4 in 1 pod kit promises to be a clever alternative for disposable vape fans!
The “SKE” name stands for “Speed Skier Extreme” which is the inspiration for the brand and they say…
“the e-cigarette brand SKE, was born in a sea of ice and snow, like a pathfinder full of adventurous spirit and pioneering character”
We have reviewed some of their products before – with the Crystal Bar, SKE Amare Crystal One disposable vapes plus the Crystal Plus rechargeable disposable and the Crystal Nic Salt e-liquid range.
In fact the 4 in 1 pod kit uses the same flavours as the rest of the Crystal range – so if you have a favourite you already know where to start!
Thank you to Vape Club for sending these over for review! I will report back honestly on my experience with the device provided.
Plus of course flavours will always be a personal thing. So my aim is to concentrate on whether the flavours are a true representation and match the description.
Time to get stuck in!!
What Can We Expect From The SKE Crystal 4 in 1 Pod Kit?
This is targeted to those who like a disposable vape but thankfully promises the ease of use without the waste.
Inside the main device (mod) is a 950mAh rechargeable battery, charging via the USB Type C port.
You insert 4 pods into the device. The pods hold 2ml of pre-filled nic salt (20mg strength) e-liquid plus each pod has its own coil.
When the pods are empty simple buy new ones and replace. Therefore the only disposable items are the pods themselves as the battery can be reused.
As there are 4x 2ml pods the total capacity is 8ml which SKE state should allow up to 2400 puffs. This also meets the TPD regulations as there is only 2ml in each pod.
With each pod containing its own coil – each time you replace the pod you are getting a new coil. Some of the extended use devices only have one coil which is fixed in the device and is not replaceable. A fixed coil will fail eventually and therefore reduce the service life. But the service life here will be until the device actually stops working.
To change between pods / flavours just rotate the barrel and the selected flavour will show through the window in the side of the device.
It is super simple to use – just inhale on the mouthpiece and the auto draw system will fire up automatically!
When it comes to the kits you have various options.

Design and Build Quality
I received the Green Edition and Rose Edition kits.
These come in a chunky box which has all the information you would need.
I am very happy to see batch numbers and expiry dates printed on the box. This reassures me that there are tracking and quality standards in place.
Make sure to scratch off the authenticity checker panel and check the kit is genuine by scanning the QR code on the side of the box with your phone camera.
Or you can input the 14 digit code into the website here. This number is case sensitive – so use capital letters where they are shown.
When you open the box you are faced with a cardboard top panel, lift this up and it is the instruction manual. It is great for showing you how to get started but lacking info on how to charge and any fault displays.
Inside the box you will find the device wrapped in a plastic wrapper. This also has the setup diagrams printed on.
You will also find in the box the 4 separate flavour pods all individually packaged to keep the flavour fresh and prevent tampering or leakage.
Everything arrived in pristine condition so the packaging is doing its job!
SKE Crystal 4 in 1 Mod
The main shell of the mod is a transparent plastic construction. It doesn’t look high-end but that is not the market in which SKE are aiming for here.
The battery section and pod section are coloured according to which version of the device you have chosen. I love the bright vibrant colours.
Looking at the front you will see the “SKE CRYSTAL 4 in 1” logo printed on in White.
On the rear are the required Legal logos, battery type (18350) and power specifications.
The battery is not removable and it sits in a cylinder with a gradient finish and a matching coloured top face.
Pod Section
The pod section has a rotatable barrel which has cut outs to show the name of the installed pods.
You turn this barrel to align the required flavour with the small (and hard to see) arrow on the side of the mod. I have marked the arrow in the image above.
For me the barrel was very stiff to turn (I do have poor grip though) and it is a bit “creaky” – it does feel a bit cheapo. I have demonstrated this in the video below – but I make it look harder as I am trying to do it one handed!
