Banana is the most technically difficult common fruit to render in e-liquid and the reason is isoamyl acetate — the ester that makes banana smell like banana, and the same one used in pear drops. Get the concentration slightly wrong and you get sweet shop rather than fruit. SKE's restrained house style helps here more than anywhere else in the range, because banana suffers badly from over-sweetening and most versions on the market are far too sugary.

('What it actually tastes like', 'Ripe banana on the inhale — the fruit rather than the sweet, though the ester note is clearly audible underneath — with a creamy body that owes something to the same lactone chemistry that makes mango and peach feel warm. Menthol arrives across the exhale and cuts the density in a way nothing else would. The finish is cool with the banana lingering. Divisive: people either find this convincing or find it reads as pear drops, and there is very little middle ground.')

('SKE Crystal as a liquid brand rather than a hardware brand', "SKE is best known for the Crystal Bar, which was for a period the single best-selling disposable in the United Kingdom, and the Crystal nic salt range is the bottled continuation of those flavours. What separates SKE from most bar-brands-turned-liquid-brands is that it also makes a genuinely good refillable — the Crystal Plus and Crystal 4-in-1 are competent devices in their own right — so the liquid and the hardware were developed with each other in mind. In practice SKE's mixing is a shade cleaner and less candied than the average bar-derived range. The fruits are recognisable as fruits rather than as sweets, sweetener levels are moderate, and the bottles tend to survive a full pod better than their competitors. The trade is that nothing here hits as hard on the first puff as an Elfliq or an Elux does. SKE liquids are quiet, and quiet reads as bland to a palate that has been trained on disposables.")

Most popular flavours exist in both a plain and an iced variant, and the choice is less about preference than about what job the liquid is doing. Ice suppresses perceived sweetness and adds a physical sensation to the throat, which makes a liquid feel cleaner and gives a heavier hit — useful if you are recently off cigarettes and missing the catch at the back of the throat. It also flattens detail. Anything delicate in the fruit — floral notes, tartness, the difference between two similar berries — gets partly buried under menthol. As a rule, buy iced if the base flavour is sweet and simple and you want it to feel refreshing, and buy plain if the base flavour is one you actually want to taste in detail. In hot weather almost everyone drifts towards ice; in winter almost everyone drifts back.

Sweetened e-liquids leave residue on the coil. Under heat, sucralose caramelises into a dark crust that insulates the wire from the cotton, and once that crust forms the coil tastes burnt no matter how much liquid is in the pod. This is why dark fruit, dessert and candy profiles get perhaps a third of the coil life you would get from a plain menthol or a light citrus. Nothing reverses it. Rinsing a pod under warm water clears loose residue and buys a few extra millilitres, but a caramelised coil is finished. Discolouration of the pod plastic is a separate and purely cosmetic issue — dark fruit and cola liquids will turn clear plastic brown within a couple of fills and it does not wash out. If it bothers you, keep the heavy-staining flavours in one dedicated pod rather than cycling them through your whole set.

A blended liquid almost always beats a single-fruit one on the first puff and loses to it by the fifth tank. The reason is that a blend gives the palate several things to notice at once, so the opening is busier and more impressive, but those layers collapse into one another as the receptors tire, and by the end of a pod a three-fruit blend often reads as generic sweetness. A single fruit has nowhere to hide on the first puff — it is either good or it is not — but it also has nothing to lose as the tank goes down. If you are buying a flavour to try, blends are the safer bet. If you are buying the bottle that will live in your device all week, the single-fruit option is usually the more sensible purchase, and it is very often cheaper too.

('Running SKE Crystal liquid', "This is a 50/50 base and it wants a mouth-to-lung coil above 0.6 ohm. SKE's own Crystal Plus pods are the natural home for it and the pairing is well judged — SKE tunes its coils on the cool, dry side, which suits liquids this clean. Any standard pod system will run it. What will not work is a sub-ohm tank: the liquid is too thin, it will flood the coil and leak, and at 20mg the nicotine dose through a wide airy coil is genuinely unpleasant rather than merely strong. If you are unsure what your coil is rated at, it is printed on the side of the coil itself in small text, and it is worth checking before your first fill rather than after.")

('Choosing between 10mg and 20mg', 'Both strengths are available and both are legal UK nic salt concentrations; 20mg is the maximum permitted. Buy 20mg if you are coming directly off cigarettes or off a 20mg disposable — under-dosing at the switch is the most reliable way to fail at it, because you compensate by vaping constantly and never quite feel settled. Buy 10mg if you are already established on a lower strength, if you vape lightly, or if you are deliberately stepping down. When you do step down, do it in one move rather than by mixing strengths in the same pod; a clean change is easier to adapt to than a gradual drift, and it is much easier to tell whether it has worked.') Nicotine salt is nicotine in the form it naturally occurs in the tobacco leaf, and it is noticeably smoother in the throat than freebase nicotine at the same strength. That smoothness is why it suits high-strength mouth-to-lung vaping, and why it became the default for people switching from cigarettes. Every bottle is capped at the UK legal maximum of 20mg in a 10ml bottle under TPD rules.

Freebase nicotine at 20mg would be genuinely unpleasant in a small pod device — harsh enough that most people simply would not persist with it. Nic salt solves that, delivering a satisfying hit smoothly and absorbing faster, which is closer to what a cigarette does. That combination of speed and comfort is what makes the difference for anyone who tried vaping before and found low-strength liquids left them still craving a smoke. Our nic salt versus freebase guide covers the difference properly.

Keep the bottle sealed, upright and somewhere cool and dark — a drawer or cupboard is ideal. Heat and sunlight are what degrade e-liquid, gradually darkening it and dulling the flavour. Stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps well for a year or more, so there is no problem stocking up on a flavour you like. Always keep e-liquid well out of reach of children and pets.

One of the better banana renderings available and a genuinely divisive flavour. Try it if banana appeals; skip it if artificial banana sweets have ever put you off. No acid anywhere in the profile, so the menthol is its only structure.
