SKE Crystal Vision 30000 Review: Vape the Aurora!

Product intro and specs

The new SKE Crystal Vision 30000 is a disposable vape with solid performance and the most impressive aesthetic feature I’ve ever seen on a throwaway device. Similar to the VAPORESSO DOJO, the SKE Crystal Vision 30k features a 360° screen. The difference between the two is that the SKE Crystal Vision 30k screen is 5.3 inches, and utilizes RGB Sync Technology, showcasing a 16.7 million color spectrum.

I’m unsure of what that really means, but the quality of the display tells me it’s probably more than just marketing. The 5.3-inch 360° screen produces a mesmerizing light display with next-level color saturation. It’s like SKE captured the Aurora Borealis and put it inside a disposable vape. It’s something you have to behold.

Besides the enchanting light show, other features of the SKE Crystal Vision 30k are an 850 mAh rechargeable USB-C battery, dual mesh coil technology, battery and liquid indicator, a bite-friendly mouthpiece, and two adjustable power modes with their own airflow settings: ECO and Power. There are 15 flavors available from a well-curated menu, all in 5% nicotine salt strength.

Is SKE Crystal Vision 30k the next disposable you should try? I think so. Let’s get into the details, and then you can decide for yourself.

Size, look, and feel

The SKE Crystal Vision 30k is about the average size for a disposable vape in 2025. It measures 33 mm x 44 mm x 83 mm (not including the bite-friendly mouthpiece) and weighs around 99 grams, putting it on par with similar products. It’s got an all-black body with a thin, transparent glossy exterior. The form factor is rounded and rectangular, which feels right at home in the palm of my hand. Although the device is primarily made of plastic, the construction feels high-quality.

The star of the show, of course, is the wonder that’s produced from the 5.3-inch 360° screen. This is more than a goofy light show. It’s like some new-age sensory therapy intended for a VR headset. The light patterns and colors change and move with smooth transitions, not like some hokey repeating graphic.

SKE is so proud of the light show that they added an always-on mode. Normally, as with most vapes with lights, the lights come on while you take a puff, then turn off a few seconds after your puff is over. The always-on feature allows the device to stay illuminated while not in use. When I’m at my desk in the dark, I like to keep a Vision 30k illuminated. That said, I do wish I could turn off the lights when I want to stealth vape. No matter how awesome the lights are, they’re… lights! Also, “always-on” is a misnomer; it’ll stay on for about 10-15 minutes.

Getting started

You’ll spend more time removing the device from the packaging than you will getting it ready to vape.

On the bottom of the Crystal Vision 30k, there’s a three-stage slider switch. It goes from off to ECO mode to Power mode. ECO mode is more of an MTL draw with normal power, rated at 30k puffs. Power mode is for a loose MTL with a more robust and flavorful hit. It’s rated for 15k puffs.

When you’re in the mode you want, just take a puff. It has an automatic draw, meaning you don’t have to press a button to activate.

If you want to activate the aforementioned “always-on” mode, slide the switch to Power, then back to ECO. The light show will stay on for about 10-15 minutes (it took me a while to figure that out.) 

Besides the light show, the front panel screen displays juice and battery levels. Both use numerical percentage readouts, which simplifies knowing the status at a glance. If you want to see the status of your vape, you can either take a puff or just slide the switch one way or another. The whole screen will illuminate.

Note: while testing the device and measuring it with my calipers, I discovered that it can auto-fire if the mid-section gets squeezed. It’s not necessarily something I think is a problem, but you should be aware of that if you keep it in your back pocket.

How does it hit?

The hit from the Crystal Vision 30k is smooth, consistent, quiet, and flavorful. It’s got a subdued but still noticeable throat hit. I find it quite enjoyable.

The dual mesh coils activate instantly when you take a puff, and the flavor hits you quickly. I’ve had no issues with the draw. No leaking, spitting, or obnoxious coils popping.

What I like most about the hit from the Crystal Vision 30k is that it provides a legit MTL in ECO mode. That’s the mode I like using the most. Power mode is warmer and more flavorful, but in ECO, I get more battery life and plenty of warmth and flavor.

SKE Crystal Vision 30k best flavors

The Crystal Vision 30K comes in 15 flavors, including fruits, blends, and a couple of mints. In general, I am as impressed with the flavors as I am with the performance and overall design. It would suck if the device ONLY had a cool light show. I really enjoy using these devices. These are my five favorite flavors:

Strawnana: Natural tasting with none of that candy banana taste so present in eliquid. A nice balance of banana and strawberry. This is the flavor I like to have in bed with me. 

Blueberry watermelon: Refreshing and vibrant. Ephemeral notes of blueberries with that delicate sweetness of watermelon. This is great as an all-day vape. 

White bear gummies: Sweet and sour with the mysterious notes that conjure up “gummies.” I like to have this one while driving. 

Peach mango: A tropical and succulent blend of complimentary fruit flavors. Neither fruit bullies the other. It’s a balanced blend. Good anytime. 

Miami mint: The blend of spearmint, peppermint, and wintergreen. The SKE Miami mint has a sweeter vibe, which elevates the mint flavors beyond their classic taste.

How long does it last?

With only an 850 mAh battery, the Crystal Vision 30K has an average vape time between charges. Without fail, if I charge one fully, the next day will need a charge. I’m fine with that. I’d prefer to keep the size down with more frequent charges than to have a larger device. 

As for the liquid consumption, since I keep mine on ECO, I’m getting (what appears to be) good mileage on juice. SKE doesn’t state how many mL are in the Vision 30k, but after 2x charges (with 40% left in the second charge), the juice indicator says that I have 80% left. It remains to be seen how accurate that is. Regardless, it’s at least promising.

Charging the battery is like any other small electronic device with a USB-C port. The only thing of note is that the charge is a little long. I clocked the charge at 80 minutes.
