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.

Global Nicotine-Pouch E-Commerce Group Haypp Shuts Sweden’s Snusnetto Over Age Verification as Identity Checks Become Industry Infrastructure for New Nicotine Products
Global Nicotine-Pouch E-Commerce Group Haypp Shuts Sweden’s Snusnetto Over Age Verification as Identity Checks Become Industry Infrastructure for New Nicotine Products
Sweden's Supreme Administrative Court has declined to hear an appeal over age verification for tobacco and nicotine products collected from parcel lockers, leaving in place a lower-court ruling that geo-located BankID verification is insufficient to securely verify the actual recipient. Haypp Group has stopped tobacco and nicotine sales through Snusnetto and is deploying a new system across its other Swedish e-commerce sites to verify the age of the person who actually opens the locker and receives the shipment. The change comes as age verification across next-generation nicotine products expands from purchase checks into retail, delivery and, for some e-cigarettes, device access itself.

Special Report | From New York to Washington: How FDA’s Tobacco Center Is Reworking Product Review
FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products is reshaping how it approaches tobacco product review. Based on 2Firsts’ on-site reporting in New York and Washington, this report traces CTP’s emerging direction: stronger links between PMTA and tobacco harm reduction, more category-specific review, greater emphasis on decision-relevant science, more predictable timelines and expanded use of sPMTA for product modifications. CTP also acknowledged major constraints, including just nine PMTA review teams, persistent backlogs and limits on hiring capacity.

Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts ruled in September 2026 that a combustible product made with non-tobacco plant material and 6-methylnicotine (6-MN), a synthetic nicotine analog, qualifies as a taxable tobacco product. The applicant said the product contained neither tobacco leaf nor measurable conventional nicotine. The determination applies reasoning from a May Texas Supreme Court decision involving VELO nicotine pouches, finding that the plant material and 6-MN together perform the functions of tobacco in a conventional smoking product. The ruling carries applicable tax, licensing and reporting obligations but is limited to the facts submitted by the taxpayer. It does not establish a blanket tax classification for all 6-MN products or extend the same conclusion to e-cigarettes.

UK-Listed Consumer Goods Group Supreme Sees Vape Duty as Potential Consolidation Opportunity, Holds FY27 Outlook
UK-listed consumer goods group Supreme plc says it continues to expect FY27 trading to meet market expectations as the Vaping Products Duty takes effect on October 1, while maintaining a comparatively positive view of the new tax and compliance regime. Supreme has said the framework could increase compliance complexity for smaller operators and contribute to market consolidation, while its manufacturing, compliance and distribution scale may allow it to gain share. Its 88Vape brand will retain its value positioning.

Product | KUMI SCENIC 50K Offers Nicotine and 6-Methyl Nicotine Versions as 6-MN Products Appear in Multiple U.S. State Directories, With Louisiana Listing FDA Exemption
An October 2026 review of U.S. state vapor product directories found KUMI 6 SCENIC 50K listed in Louisiana and Nebraska. Louisiana classifies 20 related product entries as “FDA EXEMPTION.” The SCENIC platform is marketed in both conventional nicotine-salt and NoNic6 formulations, each advertised with 22mL e-liquid capacity and up to 50,000 puffs. U.S. wholesaler Midwest Goods listed both versions in August 2025 with a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. The NoNic6 version is associated with 6-methylnicotine and is also marketed by some distributors as “nicotine-free.”
