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.

UAE Sets Dh1-Per-ml Minimum Excise Price for Vape Liquids From Sept. 1 While Keeping 100% Tax Rate
UAE Sets Dh1-Per-ml Minimum Excise Price for Vape Liquids From Sept. 1 While Keeping 100% Tax Rate
The UAE Ministry of Finance will introduce a minimum excise price for e-liquids used in vaping and electronic smoking devices from September 1, 2026. The minimum excise price will be set at AED 1 per millilitre. The existing 100% excise tax rate will continue to apply to tobacco and electronic smoking products. The measure changes the minimum taxable base rather than the tax rate, with the UAE government saying it aims to establish unified tax standards, improve market compliance and prevent pricing loopholes.

Australian Coalition Taskforce Calls for 80% Tobacco Tax Cut to Combat Illicit Market
Australian Coalition Taskforce Calls for 80% Tobacco Tax Cut to Combat Illicit Market
According to SGST on August 26, 2026, Australia’s Coalition Illegal Tobacco Taskforce released a report recommending an up to 80% cut in tobacco excise to reduce the appeal of the illicit tobacco market. The report claimed organised crime groups now control about 80% of Australia’s tobacco market and argued that high excise rates have widened the price gap between legal and illegal products. The recommendation remains a policy proposal and has not been adopted by the Australian government, which said its focus remains on enforcement, compliance and additional resources.

New Zealand Associate Health Minister Casey Costello Warns on Illicit Cigarettes as Legal Tobacco Sales Halve Over Decade
New Zealand Associate Health Minister Casey Costello said legal tobacco sales in the country have fallen by more than half over the past decade, with sales declining more than 20% in 2025 compared with the previous year. She warned that the decline may not fully reflect lower smoking rates, as increased availability of illicit cigarettes could also be contributing. The government said it would continue strengthening tobacco and vape retail enforcement while monitoring the impact of illicit tobacco on public health and tax revenue.

As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
A commentary published in the international open-access, peer-reviewed Harm Reduction Journal argues that randomized controlled trials remain central to evaluating smoking cessation efficacy but cannot alone capture real-world uptake, complete switching, longer-term use and population impact of non-combustible nicotine products such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The authors frame impact as “reach × efficacy” and call for real-world evidence to complement RCTs. Three days after publication, the FDA authorized three JUUL2 products and highlighted complete switching among adult smokers in explaining its decision, providing a timely regulatory backdrop to the debate.
