SKE Bar Disposable vs SKE Bar Pod Kit: A Comprehensive Comparison

SKE, the brand behind the hugely popular Crystal Bar, now offers two versions of its “Bar” design — the SKE Bar Disposable and the SKE Bar Pod Kit. While both deliver the same sleek styling and smooth draw, they’re built for different vaping preferences. 

• SKE Bar Disposable is a ready-to-use, pre-filled device offering convenience and portability with no charging required. 
• SKE Bar Pod Kit is a rechargeable, reusable alternative that can be more cost-effective over time. 
• Both devices share the same smooth draw and flavour quality, but differ in sustainability, cost, and flexibility. 

What are the main differences? Learn more about in our in depth comparison of the two devices.

The SKE Bar Disposable offers over 20 flavours, from bestsellers like Blue Razz Lemonade to fruity blends such as Kiwi Passionfruit Guava. 

The SKE Bar Pod Kit features a more curated range of around 15 pod flavours, many based on the most popular SKE blends. While disposables give slightly more variety, the pod kit’s pre-filled pods are designed for consistent taste delivery throughout their lifespan. 

Both devices contain 20mg (2%) nicotine salt e-liquid, delivering a smooth inhale and fast nicotine satisfaction. This format is popular among adult vapers who prefer a tighter draw and familiar nicotine delivery.

The SKE Bar Disposable is compact, pre-filled, and ready to use straight out of the box — ideal for convenience. 

The SKE Bar Pod Kit keeps the same slim “bar” shape but incorporates a rechargeable battery. This makes it a more sustainable, reusable option without sacrificing portability. 

The disposable model’s 500mAh battery powers up to 600 puffs before the device is discarded. However, the pod kit uses the same capacity battery but can be recharged via USB-C, so you simply replace the pod when it’s empty and keep vaping. 

• SKE Bar Disposable: From £4.99 per device. 
• SKE Bar Pod Kit: From £7.99 for the device + £5.99 per 2-pod pack. 

While disposables have a lower starting cost, regular vapers may find the SKE Bar Pod Kit more cost-effective over time, as only pods need replacing. 

• Sustainability – Reusable devices like the SKE Bar Pod Kit cut down on single-use waste. 
• Cost-Effectiveness – Higher initial cost but lower ongoing spend compared to repeatedly buying disposables. 
• Consistent Performance – The pod kit is designed to deliver stable flavour and vapour output throughout use. 

Yes. The SKE Bar Pod Kit has been designed to feel familiar to disposable users: 

• Same mouth-to-lung draw. 
• Inhale-activated, no buttons. 
• Quick flavour swaps by changing pods. 
• Simple magnetic pod connection. 
• Occasional USB-C charging. 

Both the SKE Bar Disposable and SKE Bar Pod Kit deliver the signature SKE experience in a sleek, easy-to-use format. 

If you want ultimate convenience with no charging or setup, the disposable fits the bill. If you’re looking for a reusable, more sustainable option that could save money in the long run, the pod kit is worth considering. 

Understanding the differences between the two ensures you can choose the option that best suits your vaping style — whether that’s grab-and-go simplicity or long-term value.
