SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare

We asked our inhouse expert, Jan, to give his review of the Crystal Bars from SKE. 

Flavour: ⭐⭐⭐
Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Design: ⭐⭐⭐

“Overall, the things I like best about the Crystal Bar are the flavour options and the vape pen design. The vape device itself is sturdy, has a nice wide mouthpiece for a comfortable vaping experience. A Crystal Bar lasts throughout the day, giving around 600 puffs per device. What surprised me most though about the SKE Crystal is the overall performance - considering they are lesser known than Elf Bar and Lost Mary, they really are up there in terms of performance. Each vape has a mesh coil, which is paired with a 500mAh battery (vs a 360mAh battery in Lost Mary and Elf Bar vapes) which gives not only consistent power to the final puffs but also is much more efficient at using all the e-liquid in each bar.
The main thing I feel is lacking is in the flavour - while I love the flavour selection, there are some flavours that have a bit of an aftertaste that I am not a fan of. However, this is more down to my taste preferences.”

The SKE Amare Crystal One is a compact, bottle-shaped disposable device. The unique design of the Amare vape ensures it fits nicely in your pocket while it is still able to give a comfortable grip in your hand when you use the device. These devices also have a stylish design with a dual-tone, metallic ombre design with an added crystal-clear plastic casing to indicate the flavour. 
You can find the SKE Amare Crystal One disposable vape in over 25 different flavours and all flavours come in 2% nic salt (20mg) nicotine strength. These pre-filled vapes last around 600 puffs and are powered by a mesh coil with a 500mAh battery to make the most of the e-liquid in your device.

“I only recently came across the SKE Amare, but it is becoming one of my favourite disposable vapes. The design is compact, and I love the bottle-flask shape for a disposable vape as I feel the boxy shape makes the device sturdy and a better fit in your pocket compared to the classic vape pen designs (especially considering how much smaller pockets are becoming!).  I like the range of SKE Amare flavours, and when comparing SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare flavours they are quite similar - just the SKE Amare flavours range is slightly smaller. Personally, I do feel that the performance is a little more consistent with the SKE Amare vs SKE Crystal, I just wish there were more nicotine strength options as well as having more flavours to choose from.”

Comparing the SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare, you can find a lot of similarities, like they both contain 2% nic salts and give up to 600 puffs. However, there are a couple of key differences between the SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare:

• Device Design and Size. The Crystal Bar is a vape pen device, sitting taller and slimmer, whereas the SKE Amare vape sits shorter and wider in comparison with a bottle-flask design. 
• Flavour Range. There are currently more SKE Crystal flavours than SKE Amare flavours.

One of the best ways to show the difference between two ranges is to put them side by side and compare them. We had a look at a SKE vape flavour that is available in both the SKE Crystal and SKE Amare range: Pineapple Ice. We asked our vape expert Jan to give his opinion of these SKE Crystal and SKE Amare vapes.

“Both products have the familiar SKE nicotine e-liquid, with the SKE Crystal having a slight bit more of a sour tang. However, the main differences between these SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare vapes is the device design and battery life. I found that the SKE Crystal bar battery started to dip towards the final puffs, whereas the SKE Amare battery was a bit more consistent up to the final puffs. The design plays a role in this too though, as there was some difference in the feeling of the draw when putting SKE Crystal vs SKE Amare side by side. The SKE Amare has the classic mouth-to-lung experience disposable vape users will be familiar with - it has a more airy draw. When putting this next to the SKE Crystal Bar, this vape definitely has a tighter draw where it creates a vacuum that pulls in just a tad more e-liquid in comparison, which may be why the battery runs out a little faster.

I also feel the bottle-flask design of the SKE Amare is more convenient to fit in my pocket, giving it bonus points in portability. However, the Crystal bar definitely feels more substantial in comparison. 

Overall, there are lot of similarities - I personally prefer the SKE Amare slightly more than the SKE Crystal Bar, but which SKE disposable you choose will be dependent on your taste and preferences on experience.”
