Product Description

The SKE CL2000 is a breath of fresh air in the pre-filled pod vape & market. SKE has pulled off something brilliant here with their dual pod system that’s perfectly timed for the UK market.

With disposables now banned since June 1st, this innovative prefilled pod kit delivers a massive 2000 puffs through its clever two-pod design, all while staying completely compliant with TPD regulations.

You get two pods, each of which meets UK regulations, but they connect together and give you performance that absolutely smashes what disposables used to offer.

It also features an 850mAh battery (rechargeable via USB-C) lasting more than a day.I’ve been testing the CL2000 for weeks now, and it’s genuinely impressed me with how seamlessly the whole system works. Let’s take a deeper dive into how they perform.

Design & Build Quality

The first thing that hits you about the CL2000 is just how elegant it looks. It follows that unmistakable SKE Crystal Bar look, but this is like the bigger, more mature version.

SKE has taken everything that worked with their Crystal Bar disposables and given it a serious upgrade. At 140mm tall, it’s noticeably longer than the compact 600 Pro, but that extra length houses the 850mAh battery and gives the whole thing a sleek, sophisticated feel that sits beautifully in your hand.

The crystal clear body with that diamond pattern etching is absolutely stunning. Honestly, they look like premium perfume bottles more than vape devices. The gradient colors that flow through the clear tube (different for each flavor) are just beautiful.

Build quality is rock solid throughout. The clear polycarbonate body feels substantial without being heavy, and you can see the liquid level in the top reservoir pod, which is quite satisfying to watch as it empties – knowing you’ve still got the bottom pod to go.

The dual pod system is where the engineering really shines. The top pod (your liquid reservoir) connects seamlessly to the bottom black cylinder pod via those dual connection points you can see in the base. The connection feels secure – no wobbling or loose fits like you sometimes get with magnetic connections. When you slot everything together, it all feels like one solid unit.

SKE has done a good job with the packaging and setup instructions. The red “REMOVE” tab on the bottom pod makes it clear how everything connects together, which is helpful since this dual pod system has a few more steps than your regular prefilled pods. They’ve implemented the whole process well, making what could have been confusing actually quite straightforward.

There’s also a plain black mouthpiece included that you can connect directly to the black prefilled pod if you want to use it as a single pod system – nice bit of versatility there. The mouthpiece on the top pod has a lovely smooth feel, and the airflow feels perfectly calibrated for MTL vaping.

Compared to the 600 Pro, this feels like the premium big brother. Where the 600 Pro is compact and discrete, the CL2000 makes more of a statement. It’s longer, more visually striking, and that crystal clear design just screams quality.

The USB-C charging port is tucked away neatly at the base, and I’m impressed with how clean the whole design looks. The LED indicator is located at the base too, but in typical SKE Crystal style, you get that lovely glow shining through the clear plastic base, so you can easily see it when you’re vaping.

Overall, the CL2000 has brought an ingenious dual pod system to the table, while also retaining its classy design roots. It’s the kind of device you’re proud to pull out in public.

Flavors

SKE has put together an impressive lineup of flavors for the CL2000, and I’ve had the chance to test a good selection of them. Here’s the full range available:

• Apple Peach
• Banana
• Berry Ice
• Blue Razz Ice
• Blue Razz Lemonade
• Blueberry Ice
• Blueberry Raspberries
• Cherry Ice
• Choc Mint
• Cola Ice
• Energy Ice
• Fresh Mint
• Grape Ice
• Lemon & Lime
• Lemon Sour Fudge
• Mango Ice
• Menthol
• Menthol Mojito
• Peach Ice
• Pineapple Ice
• Pink Lemonade
• Spring Berry
• Strawberry Ice
• Tiger Blood
• Watermelon Ice
  

I’ve tested ten of these flavors extensively, and honestly, they’re all brilliant – the mesh coil technology really brings out the nuances in each blend. But there are definitely some absolute standouts that have blown me away.

The others I tested – Pink Lemonade, Spring Berry, and Blueberry Raspberries – are all solid performers that deliver exactly what you’d expect. Good, clean flavors that hit the mark without being particularly adventurous.

Performance

The performance of the CL2000 is absolutely spot-on – this thing delivers exactly what SKE promises and then some.

I’ve been putting them through their paces for weeks now, and it performs just as well as any SKE pod or disposable I’ve tried, which is saying something.

The flavor delivery is pretty exceptional throughout the entire lifespan. That mesh coil technology really does make a difference – you get consistent, rich flavor from the very first puff right through to the end. No break-in period, no weak hits, and most importantly, no burnt or off tastes even when you’re pushing towards the end of the pods. The flavor remains vibrant and true to what you’d expect from each blend.

Battery life has been brilliant. The 850mAh cell works well – I’m getting a couple of days of regular use before needing to reach for the USB-C cable. That’s significantly better than what I was getting with the 600 Pro’s smaller 400mAh battery, and miles ahead of what small disposables used to offer. When you do need to charge it, it’s quick enough.

The airflow is exactly what you want from SKE – perfectly calibrated MTL draw that feels natural and satisfying. It’s consistent across all the flavors I’ve tested, with just the right amount of resistance to give you that proper mouth-to-lung experience. No adjustment needed, no fiddling about – it just works exactly as it should.

But here’s the real kicker – the puff count. SKE claims 2000 puffs, and I’m happy to report they’re not only hitting that mark, they’re actually going beyond it. I’ve been tracking my usage, and I’m consistently getting more than the advertised count, which is fantastic value for money. When you break it down per puff compared to what disposables used to cost, this system is an absolute bargain.

The dual pod system works seamlessly. That psychological trick of thinking you’re done when the top pod looks empty, only to realize you’ve got another whole pod’s worth to go, never gets old. It’s clever engineering that actually enhances the user experience rather than complicating it.

Draw activation is instant and responsive every single time. No misfires, no delay, no overly sensitive triggering – just smooth, reliable performance. It’s the kind of consistency that makes you forget you’re using the device, which is exactly what you want.

Verdict

The SKE CL2000 is an outstanding alternative to disposables for the UK and EU markets. SKE has absolutely nailed the brief here – delivering a device that’s not only fully compliant with the new regulations but actually performs better than the disposables it’s replacing.

The dual pod system is brilliant engineering that solves the regulatory puzzle while giving users fantastic value. With 2000+ puffs per kit, exceptional flavor quality, and excellent battery life, it’s everything former disposable users could want. The fact that it’s far more sustainable and environmentally friendly is the cherry on top.

This is perfect for UK/EU vapers transitioning from disposables, anyone wanting premium flavor without the complexity of rebuildable systems, or vapers who prioritize convenience and longevity. The flavors are genuinely impressive, and the performance consistency throughout the pod’s lifespan is exactly what you’d expect from SKE.If you need adjustable settings, different nic strengths, or want to use your own e-liquids, look elsewhere. But for everyone else, especially those adapting to the post-disposable landscape, the CL2000 delivers outstanding performance in a stunning package. Highly recommended.
