5 Tips to Maximise Crystal Plus Performance

Whether you're switching from disposables or exploring the world of SKE Crystal Plus pods, this guide unpacks five essential tips to help you level up your vape game. Before we jump into the hacks, let’s quickly understand what makes the SKE Crystal Plus system stand out.

What is the SKE Crystal Plus Vape System?

SKE, short for Speed, Knowledge, and Experience, is a leading UK vape brand best known for its SKE Crystal vape bars. These bars gained rapid popularity for their smooth delivery, intense flavours, and ready-to-use design. Now, with the Crystal Plus vape pods, SKE takes that disposable satisfaction and blends it with the sustainability of a closed pod system.

The SKE Crystal Plus Pod Kit features:

• A rechargeable 400mAh battery
• Magnetic snap-fit Crystal Plus pods (up to 600 puffs each)
• Leak-resistant design

1. Adjust Airflow for a Smoother Draw

While the Crystal Plus doesn't have a visible airflow ring, your draw technique can significantly affect performance. For a tight MTL (mouth-to-lung) hit, inhale slowly with a consistent pull, this reduces spit back and improves flavour clarity. Try shorter, quicker draws if you’re after a looser, airier feel.

Many users coming from traditional SKE vape bars notice an immediate improvement by simply adapting their draw style to the Crystal Plus pods' tighter airflow structure.

2. Maintain Coil Health by Using Pods Correctly

Inside every Crystal Plus pod is a built-in coil calibrated for smooth nic salt delivery. But here’s the secret: your usage pattern directly impacts coil lifespan.

• Avoid chain vaping, give the coil time between draws.
• Don’t vape till the last drop; dry hits damage the coil permanently.
• Store pods upright to keep the wick fully saturated.

3. Manage E-liquid Usage Like a Pro

Each Crystal Plus vape pod comes prefilled with 2ml of nic salt e-liquid, offering a balance between throat hit and flavour. But to get every puff's worth:

• Store pods in cool, dry places to prevent premature oxidation.
• Use pods within 3–4 days of opening for peak flavour.
• Avoid leaving pods connected to the device when not in use.

This careful approach helps preserve flavour quality and stops unnecessary leakage, a common concern among pod users.

4. Optimise Battery Charging for Longevity

A key advantage over traditional SKE Crystal vape bars is that the Crystal Plus device is rechargeable. But the way you charge it matters:

• Use a low-output USB-C cable (ideally 5V/1A)
• Avoid overcharging overnight
• Charge before it’s completely dead (around 20%–30%)

Following these steps extends the battery’s performance over months, not just weeks, making it a more cost-effective option than constantly replacing disposables.

5. Store Properly to Protect Flavour & Device

Just like you wouldn’t leave your phone in direct sunlight, your SKE Crystal Plus pod Vape Kit deserves proper care.

• Keep your device and pods away from heat and humidity
• If travelling, use a silicone cap or case to protect the mouthpiece
• Never leave the pod inserted if storing for a long period

Each improvement doesn’t just help with longevity, it enhances your daily vape experience, from the first puff to the last.
