Crystal Storm Bar 12K Puffs Prefilled Pod Kit

The Crystal Storm Bar 12K is a rechargeable prefilled pod kit that gives you up to 12,000 puffs from each pod, and it costs £8.99 at VOS, or 3 for £24 when you mix and match flavours. You get a small battery base plus a ready-filled pod, so there is no bottle to pour and no coil to change.

What makes the Crystal Storm Bar 12K different from most 12K kits is the pod itself. Each pod is two parts: a coil base and a separate refill canister with the mouthpiece moulded on, and you push them together before your first puff. When a pod runs dry you keep the battery and only buy a new pod, which is what makes it cheaper to run than buying a fresh kit every time. It suits anyone who used to buy big-puff disposables and wants the same simple draw with a lower weekly cost.

Crystal Storm Bar 12K Key Specs

• Brand: Crystal Storm. This is a different maker from SKE, so buy Crystal Storm pods for this battery, not SKE Crystal ones.
• Puffs: up to 12,000 per pod. Your real number depends on how long you hold each draw.
• Battery: 1000mAh rechargeable. This is the figure from the Planet of the Vapes hands-on review, so you recharge the base rather than throwing it away.
• Pod design: coil base plus refill canister. The two halves push together, and the canister keeps topping up the small pod so it lasts the full puff count.
• Screen: battery level display. It sits on the bottom of the base, so you can see when it needs a charge before it cuts out.
• Flavours: 15. Every flavour is also sold as a refill pod, so you can change flavour without buying a new battery.
• Refills: Crystal Storm 12000 Prefilled Pods. These are £5.99 each on their own page, or 3 for £15.

Crystal Storm Bar 12K Kit Features

• Two-part pod: the refill canister feeds the coil, so you get big-puff capacity in a pod that still meets UK tank-size rules.
• Reusable battery: you only replace the pod, which cuts cost and waste compared with the old single-use bars that were banned in June 2025.
• Grippy square base: the rubbery coating stops it slipping out of your hand, and each battery comes in its own colour.

How Long Does a Crystal Storm Bar 12K Pod Last?

Here is a rough guide to one pod, based on how much you vape each day:

• Light vaper (around 300 puffs a day): about 40 days, so well over a month from one pod.
• Average vaper (around 500 puffs a day): about three and a half weeks.
• Heavy vaper (800 or more puffs a day): about two weeks.

Long, hard draws use more liquid per puff, so treat these as estimates rather than promises.

Crystal Storm Bar 12K Flavours

There are 15 flavours in the Crystal Storm Bar 12K range. The taste notes below follow the Planet of the Vapes review, which tried every one.

1. Banana Ice - a sweet, candy-style banana with a cool start and a fresher edge than most banana vapes.
2. Blue Cherry Pineapple - blueberry and cherry come first, and the pineapple shows up after a few puffs.
3. Blue Razz Gummy Bear - blue raspberry sits under a chewy gummy sweet, and the reviewer found it well balanced.
4. Blue Sour Raspberry - blueberry on the inhale, raspberry on the exhale, with a good cooling kick.
5. Blueberry Cherry Cranberry - the cranberry adds a slightly dry sourness that keeps the sweet berries in check.
6. Blueberry Raspberry - a sweet berry mix without the musty note some blueberry vapes have.
7. Fresh Mint - a cold, sweet spearmint with a noticeable throat hit.
8. Juicy Peach - a bright, sweet peach in a sweetie style, with a little tang.
9. Lemon Lime - strong citrus with a sherbet fizz that gives it a zing.
10. Mixed Berries - a very sweet berry blend that stays on the right side of sickly.
11. Mr Blue - a strong, fruity blueberry sweet.
12. Pineapple Ice - a full pineapple with juicy notes and a cool finish.
13. Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice - three red fruits that blend well while each one still comes through.
14. Summer Dream - grape with tropical notes such as mango, a busy but pleasant mix.
15. Vimtru - tastes like the purple blackcurrant squash drink, with a raspberry tang and a slight fizz.

If you are switching from cigarettes, Fresh Mint is the closest to a menthol and gives the strongest throat feel. If you are new to vaping and want something easy, Blueberry Raspberry and Juicy Peach are sweet without being sharp. Fruit lovers who like a sour edge should try Blue Sour Raspberry or Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, and anyone with a sweet tooth will get on with Blue Razz Gummy Bear or Vimtru. You will also see a Best Flavour option on the drop-down.

How to Set Up the Crystal Storm Bar 12K

1. Pull the silicone bungs off the pod parts and peel off the sticker.
2. Push the coil base and the refill canister firmly together until they sit flush.
3. Click the finished pod into the battery base.
4. Wait a couple of minutes so the liquid can soak the coil, then take a few gentle puffs to start.

Most burnt first puffs on two-part pods come from vaping straight after assembly, before the coil is wet. A short wait fixes that.

How to Make Your Crystal Storm Bar 12K Last Longer

• Take steady, medium draws rather than long hard pulls, as this saves liquid and keeps the coil cooler.
• Charge the base when the screen shows it is low, rather than running it completely flat every time.
• When the flavour fades or tastes burnt, change the pod, and put the empty pod in a WEEE vape recycling bin rather than general waste.

Crystal Storm Bar 12K Price and Running Cost

The Crystal Storm Bar 12K kit is £8.99 at VOS, and it drops to £8 each with the 3 for £24 mix and match deal. After that you only need pods. The Crystal Storm 12000 prefilled pods are £5.99 each or 3 for £15, which works out at £5 for up to 12,000 puffs. For an average vaper that is roughly £6 to £7 a month, far less than buying a new kit each time.
