UK’s SKE Crystal E-Cigarette Brand Violates Regulations
Popular UK disposable e-cigarette SKE Crystal has been taken off shelves due to concerns over exceeding nicotine liquid limits.

On March 17th, it was reported by The Grocer that the disposable e-cigarette brand SKE Crystal has been taken off the market in the UK due to regulatory violations.


The popular disposable e-cigarette brand SKE Crystal has been taken off the shelves of retailers such as One Stop and Booker in the UK. Retailers are concerned that the nicotine content in these devices may exceed regulatory limits.


According to The Grocer, multiple e-cigarette brands have been removed from the shelves of retailers such as One Stop and Booker. Previously, several disposable e-cigarette products, including SKE Crystal, were tested by an independent laboratory commissioned by BAT and found to contain an excess of e-liquid beyond the 2ml limit allowed by UK law.


According to reports, SKE Crystal is one of the top 10 e-cigarette brands in the UK market in terms of market share.
