SKE Crystal CL6000 Vape Kit – Cherry Ice

Your first proper taste of Cherry Ice on the CL6000 Kit

There is a particular pleasure in cracking open a fresh kit, clicking everything together, and taking that very first clean draw of a flavour you have been meaning to try. With the SKE Crystal CL6000 Vape Kit in Cherry Ice, that first pull sets the tone for everything that follows: a burst of deep, ripe cherry wrapped in a cool menthol finish, delivered crisp and full because nothing has been sitting around. This piece is all about that flavour journey, the way Cherry Ice unfolds over a full pod of up to roughly 6000 puffs, and how to get the most joyful version of it from the very start.

The Cherry Ice experience, start to finish

That opening draw leads with cherry, and on a fresh kit it arrives at its boldest. This is a dark, dessert-like cherry, closer to black-cherry jam or a scoop of cherry sorbet than a pale glacé sweet. It is generously sweet with a rounded, syrupy body, and there is a subtle stone-fruit tartness buried in it that keeps things from turning flat.

Settle into the mid-vape and the menthol reveals itself. It threads through the cherry rather than sitting on top of it, so you experience both at once: the warmth and richness of the fruit and the cool, tingling lift of the ice. That interplay is what makes the flavour so moreish. The sweetness never gets a chance to cloy because the chill is always there to counter it.

The exhale is the signature moment. Menthol carries the finish, cooling the whole mouth, clearing away the sugar and leaving a fresh, breath-mint-clean aftertaste with a soft cherry echo. It feels like a reset button, which is exactly why the next draw is as tempting as the first. Right through the pod, that rhythm of rich inhale and clean, cool exhale stays remarkably steady.

The mood this flavour was made for

Cherry Ice has a bit of theatre to it, which makes it a lovely choice for social and evening moments. It feels like a treat, so it suits winding down after work, a relaxed night in, or standing outside on a cold evening where the frosty exhale genuinely enhances the experience. The cold-weather pairing is worth calling out: crisp winter air and a menthol cherry play off each other beautifully, and that chill lands sharper when it is cold out.

It is also a strong pick for someone moving on from plain menthol or plain fruit and wanting something with more personality. The cherry gives the ice a story, and the ice gives the cherry an edge. If you have found other flavours too flat or too sweet, this middle ground tends to click. Where it fits least is the pure-purist camp: if you only want unflavoured cool mint, or only want warm fruit with no chill at all, the built-in combination here is not adjustable.

Comparing Cherry Ice and rotating around it

Held up against a warm, iceless cherry, this version feels brighter and more refreshing; the menthol lightens the load so the fruit never sits heavily on the palate. Next to a berry ice or a blue razz ice, Cherry Ice is deeper and less tangy, trading sharp sourness for dark stone-fruit body. Compared with a hard menthol or a double mint, it is far sweeter and fruitier, a flavoured chill with real character rather than a bare one.

If you like cherry cola, you will spot the shared DNA in the fruit, though here it is paired with cold rather than spice.

Because a kit is often someone's main device, thinking about rotation early pays off. Keeping a contrasting flavour on hand stops even a great profile from going stale. A warm tropical or a citrus gives your palate a menthol-free break, so the ice hits fresh when you switch back. A darker berry keeps you in familiar sweet-fruit territory while still varying the experience. The habit to avoid is running menthol flavour after menthol flavour, because the cooling can gradually blunt your taste buds and mute the cherry you are here for.

Getting the best from a fresh kit

• Let it wick before the first draw. Even out of the box, giving the device a minute or two after first use lets the wick saturate fully, so that opening cherry hit lands rich instead of thin.
• Start gentle. Ease into your first few pulls with a slow, steady mouth-to-lung draw. This lets the cherry and menthol layer properly and gives you the full picture rather than an ice-forward blast.
• Keep it out of the heat. Store the kit at normal room temperature. A device left baking in a car or a sunny windowsill can taste muted and overly sweet, with the crisp menthol edge dulled.
• Recognise the fade. Toward the end of the pod, when the cherry dims and the draw turns dry or faintly burnt, that is the flavour telling you the wick is spent. Do not push through the harsh final puffs.
• Charge before empty. Keeping the battery topped up means the coil always fires at full power, and flavour is noticeably crisper on a healthy charge than on a nearly flat one.

Value and a word on suitability

A kit is the sensible starting point if Cherry Ice is new to you, because you get the device and the flavour together and can decide from there whether to stock up on this profile long term. Treat the battery well, charge it before it dies rather than after, and it will reward you with consistent, full-strength flavour across the whole pod.

Cherry Ice will not win over everyone. Anyone who dislikes menthol should steer clear, since the cool element is baked in and cannot be removed. Those who prefer natural, tart, fresh-fruit flavours over sweet confectionery cherry may also find it a little rich. And as with all vaping products, this kit contains nicotine and is intended strictly for adult vapers aged 18 and over.

Cherry Ice FAQ

Does a fresh kit taste different from an old pod?

Yes, in a good way. A freshly assembled kit with a full charge and a properly wicked coil gives you Cherry Ice at its cleanest and boldest. Flavour softens naturally as a pod ages and the battery drains, so those early days are when the cherry is at its most vivid.

Is the menthol overpowering?

No. The ice is tuned to balance the fruit, cool and refreshing on the exhale without steamrolling the cherry. If you like a noticeable but not extreme chill alongside a sweet dark fruit, it sits right in that sweet spot.

What should I vape alongside it?

A warm fruit or a sharp citrus makes an ideal companion, giving your palate a rest from menthol so Cherry Ice tastes fresh each time you come back to it. Keeping one contrasting flavour on rotation is the simplest way to keep it exciting.
