A new pod-based e-cigarette from the SKE brand, the **SKE Airknows**, has been launched in the UK market. The product uses "ceramic air heating" and "nicotine beads" technology, with the retailer's website claiming it can achieve "zero steam, zero smoke, and zero odor."

Product highlights:

 

Ceramic air heating + nicotine beads: SKE Airknows utilizes a Ceramic Air Heating (CAH) system and Nicotine Beads, promoting a smoke-free, vapor-free, odor-free usage method, which sets it apart from traditional atomization products on the market.

 

Non-e-liquid design: This device uses solid "nicotine pearls" instead of traditional e-liquid. The ceramic core releases nicotine and flavor by heating air, without producing smoke.

 

Compliance: The product device and pod have been publicly disclosed in the database of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK.

 


Recently, 2Firsts noticed that the SKE brand's "SKE Airknows" pod system has been launched on multiple online e-cigarette retail websites in the UK. The retail websites promote the product as using a Ceramic Air Heating (CAH) system and Nicotine Beads, which enables "zero vapour, zero smoke, and zero odour" capabilities.

 

 

Can draw 600 puffs, but battery capacity is only 350mAh

 

 

Firsts has collected and compiled relevant product information for the SKE Airknows e-cigarette, as shown in the following image:

From a technical standpoint, the SKE Airknows pod has a capacity of 2ml, allowing for 600 puffs per pod. It contains nicotine with a concentration of 20mg and comes in 13 different flavor options for users to choose from.

 

It is worth noting that the battery capacity of SKE Airknows is only 350mAh, which is lower than other models from the same brand such as SKE CL2000 (850mAh) and SKE BAR (500mAh), placing it at a relatively lower level in the entire e-cigarette market.

Ceramic air heating technology + nicotine pearls achieve smoke-free results

 

 

According to the UK-based e-cigarette online retailer THE E-CIGSTORE, the SKE Airknows e-cigarette utilizes ceramic air heating (CAH) technology and nicotine pods to achieve "zero vapour, zero smoke, and zero odour".

In contrast to traditional e-liquid vaporization, the replacement pods in SKE Airknows do not contain traditional liquid e-liquid. Instead, they use "nicotine beads" as a substitute. The SKE Airnows e-cigarette does not require a liquid vaporization process. The ceramic core heats the air through the nicotine beads, thereby "releasing flavor and nicotine without producing smoke." Users may experience flavor and throat hit after 2-3 puffs.
