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.
