SKE 600 Pro Prefilled Pods 2 Pack

This is where the 600 Pro earns its keep. Twenty-five flavours is a lot to pick from, and because every pod shares the same 1.1ohm mesh, the only thing that changes between them is the juice, so you can hop from an iced watermelon to a cola without buying a new device. The full line-up, grouped to make it easier:

This is the part that makes the 600 Pro worth the switch from disposables. Ten pods cost £27.99, about £2.80 a pod, and each pod carries roughly the same 600 puffs as a single-use Crystal bar. A throwaway bar of that size is usually a few pounds, so on the juice alone you pay well under buying a fresh bar each time, and you stop binning a battery every couple of days.

Put rough numbers on it. If you get through a bar a day, that is around 30 a month. Thirty 600 Pro pods at £2.80 is about £84 against buying 30 disposables, and that gap widens once the kit has paid for itself. You also throw away far less, since the only thing in the bin is a small pod rather than a whole device with a lithium cell inside. For the device itself, see the SKE 600 Pro kit page.

The 600 Pro is about as low-maintenance as vaping gets, but a couple of habits keep every pod tasting right. Most niggles come down to a pod that has not snapped on properly, or one drawn on too hard too soon.

For a 600 Pro or Crystal Plus owner, yes, easily. The flavour is the familiar SKE Crystal taste, the range is one of the widest going at 25 flavours, and at about £2.80 a pod they undercut disposables while wasting far less. They are not for you if you want to mix your own juice or chase big clouds, in which case a refillable like the SKE 4-in-1 or a sub-ohm kit makes more sense. As a clean, cheap, snap-on restock for a closed pod system, though, they do exactly what they should.
