The world of vaping continues to evolve rapidly, and one of the most exciting developments in recent times is the emergence of refillable disposable hybrids. These devices offer a unique middle ground between the ease of disposables and the customisability of reusable pod systems. Two contenders that stand out in this category are the SKE Crystal Plus Prefilled Kit and the Vaporesso Dojo Blast 2000 Go Prefilled Pod Kit. Both are designed for convenience, portability, and an enjoyable vaping experience — but how do they stack up against each other?
In this detailed review, we compare the two kits across multiple dimensions: design, battery life, pod performance, flavour variety, user experience, environmental impact, and value for money. Whether you're a casual vaper or looking to move from disposables to something slightly more sustainable, this comparison will help you decide which kit is right for your needs.
The SKE Crystal Plus stands out immediately with its signature transparent crystalline chassis. The device is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, retaining the iconic look that has made the SKE Crystal Bar range so recognisable. Its premium feel in the hand and pocket-friendly design make it ideal for users on the go.
Crafted by the creators of the acclaimed Crystal Bar disposables, the Crystal Plus boasts a sleek, pocket-sized body engineered for effortless use. It’s an elegant device built for style-conscious vapers who appreciate minimalism and function in one unit.
On the other hand, the Vaporesso Dojo Blast 2000 Go presents a more futuristic and robust aesthetic. The device has a glossy, ergonomic body with smooth contours, giving it a comfortable grip. Though slightly bulkier than the Crystal Plus, it still retains excellent portability.
In terms of overall durability and user comfort, both devices deliver strong first impressions. However, the SKE Crystal Plus leans slightly more toward elegance, while the Vaporesso Dojo has a sportier, tech-driven appearance.
Battery life plays a critical role in the hybrid category. The SKE Crystal Plus features a built-in 400mAh rechargeable battery, providing enough power for casual day-long use. Thanks to its USB-C port, it takes only 30 minutes to reach full charge — perfect for busy users.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go, meanwhile, incorporates a more robust 700mAh battery. Designed for extended use, it’s capable of powering through multiple pod cycles before requiring a recharge. Like the SKE Crystal, it also utilises USB-C charging, maintaining convenience for modern users.
In real-world testing, the Dojo outperforms the Crystal Plus in endurance, especially for heavier vapers. However, SKE’s smaller size means quicker charging and less time tethered to cables.
Pods are where the action happens — and both kits deliver distinct experiences here. The SKE Crystal Plus uses prefilled 2ml pods containing 20mg salt nicotine e-liquid. Each pod is compatible with the Crystal Pro range and magnetically fits into the device, allowing seamless installation. The pods use a mesh coil system, delivering rich flavour and a smooth throat hit ideal for MTL (mouth to lung) vaping.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go employs a similar pod system but boasts enhanced flavour delivery thanks to Vaporesso’s COREX heating technology. This innovative feature ensures faster heating, better saturation, and consistent vapour with every puff — reducing the chances of dry hits or burnt taste over time.
Additionally, the Dojo pods offer more control with improved leak resistance and airflow design. For vapers who prefer reliability and refined performance, Vaporesso’s pod design has a clear edge.
Both devices shine in the flavour department, but they take different approaches. The SKE Crystal Plus offers over 15 prefilled flavour pods, including favourites like Blue Razz Lemonade, Strawberry Burst, Menthol, and Ice Mango. These bold, straightforward flavours are crafted to satisfy mainstream preferences, especially among UK vapers.
Vaporesso’s Dojo Blast 2000 Go enters the market with a rich flavour lineup, including Grape Ice, Cola Twist, Blueberry Fusion, and Mango Ice. These blends often feature layered complexity, thanks to Vaporesso's flavour labs, and are aimed at vapers who enjoy a more refined profile.
In terms of innovation and richness, Vaporesso arguably leads. However, SKE’s range covers classic favourites that are consistently in demand.
For those who value thick, satisfying clouds, vapour production is a key differentiator. The SKE Crystal Plus, while delivering respectable vapour, is tailored more towards mouth-to-lung (MTL) vapers. Its draw mimics the sensation of smoking and prioritises throat hit and flavour clarity.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go, with its slightly larger airflow system and superior coil performance, offers a looser MTL to restricted direct-to-lung (DTL) hit. The result is denser vapour and a more open inhale, appealing to vapers transitioning from sub-ohm devices.
If discreet vaping is your goal, the Crystal Plus may be a better fit. If you want larger clouds and a more robust inhale, the Dojo takes the lead.
Usability is one of the most important aspects of any hybrid kit. The SKE Crystal Plus excels in simplicity. There are no buttons to press — just inhale and enjoy. Pod installation is effortless, and switching flavours is as simple as swapping pods. Its auto-draw activation is highly responsive and satisfying.
The Crystal Plus also features a fixed 11W power output, ensuring a consistent vaping experience from start to finish. It's designed for plug-and-play convenience — no menus, no confusion.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go also uses draw-activation, but its slightly more advanced pod design offers better airflow control and flavour consistency. However, its size and weight make it a bit more noticeable in the pocket.
Both devices are beginner-friendly, but the Dojo offers more versatility for those who want to tweak their vaping slightly without stepping into full customisation.
Disposables are notorious for their environmental footprint, but these hybrid kits aim to reduce waste. The SKE Crystal Plus encourages reuse through its rechargeable base device, and only pods need replacing. The pods are compact and contain less material than full disposable bars.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go follows a similar eco-conscious model. Its larger battery means fewer recharges and longer usage cycles, and Vaporesso has incorporated recyclable materials into some of its packaging and components.
That said, neither kit is fully recyclable or biodegradable, so eco-conscious users should still aim to dispose of used pods and batteries responsibly.
Both kits are priced competitively at FREESMO, with starter kits and pods available individually or in bundles. The SKE Crystal Plus starter kit is generally more affordable upfront, making it attractive for budget-conscious users who want to try hybrid vaping without a big investment.
The Dojo Blast 2000 Go, while slightly more expensive, offers longer battery life and more advanced pod technology, which may justify the extra cost for regular vapers.
For occasional users or those testing the waters, the SKE Crystal Plus provides excellent value. For more committed vapers who appreciate better battery life and deeper flavour, the Vaporesso Dojo is worth the upgrade.
Both the SKE Crystal Plus Prefilled Kit and the Vaporesso Dojo Blast 2000 Go Prefilled Pod Kit bring something valuable to the table. Your choice largely depends on what you value more in your vape experience:
Choose SKE Crystal Plus if you prioritise portability, simplicity, and a familiar disposable-style feel with a more elegant design.
Opt for Vaporesso Dojo Blast 2000 Go if you want longer battery life, fuller flavour output, and denser vapour in a slightly more premium package.
Ultimately, both devices represent the next generation of smart vaping solutions—designed to bridge the gap between disposables and refillable pod kits. Whichever you choose, you’ll find them available at FREESMO, your trusted source for premium vape products in the UK.
