Geek Bar is a brand of disposable vape devices. These are pre-filled, rechargeable nicotine products with a built-in battery and e-liquid tank. This page covers the brand, its main models, flavor styles, key specifications, and how the models compare. It also explains what to check before buying, including local rules.
GeekZilla covers consumer products alongside tech, gaming and geek culture. This page sits in that consumer section as a plain reference guide. Nicotine is addictive, and these products are for adults only.
What Is Geek Bar?
Geek Bar is a vape brand known for disposable devices. A disposable vape comes sealed with e-liquid already inside. There is nothing to refill and no pod to swap. When the e-liquid is gone, the device is finished.
Most current Geek Bar devices are draw-activated. You inhale and the device fires, so there is no button to press. Inside, a battery heats a coil, and the coil warms the e-liquid into vapor. Newer models add a screen that shows battery and e-liquid levels.
The FDA has described Geek Bar as a Chinese-owned and manufactured brand, which matters when you look at availability later on this page.
Geek Bar Products and Models
The model names change often and listings vary by seller, so treat the table below as a guide. Two models appear most often in retailer and review coverage: the Pulse and the Pulse X.
The Pulse is rated for up to 15,000 puffs in standard mode and 7,500 in Pulse mode, with a 650 mAh USB-C battery and 16 ml of e-liquid. The Pulse X raises that to 25,000 puffs in regular mode and 15,000 in Pulse mode, with an 820 mAh battery and a 3D curved screen.
| Geek Bar Pulse | Geek Bar Pulse X | |
| Device type | Rechargeable disposable | Rechargeable disposable |
| Puff rating (regular / Pulse mode) | Up to 15,000 / 7,500 | Up to 25,000 / 15,000 |
| Battery | 650 mAh | 820 mAh (one seller lists 700 mAh) |
| E-liquid capacity | 16 ml | 18 ml (some sellers list 20 ml) |
| Charging | USB-C | USB-C |
| Nicotine strength | 5% (50 mg/mL) in listings | 5% (50 mg/mL) in listings |
| Display | LED screen | 3D curved screen |
| Coil | Dual mesh | Dual mesh |
| Key features | Two power modes, draw activation | Two power modes, adjustable airflow, draw activation |
Some sellers also list newer or larger models, such as a Mate 60K and a Pulse X2. I could not find consistent specifications for these, so they are not in the table.
Geek Bar Flavors
Flavor names differ by market and by seller, and limited editions come and go. These are examples seen in current listings, grouped by profile.
- Berry: Blue Razz Ice, Raspberry Jam, Berry Bliss
- Fruit blends: Strawberry Watermelon, Blueberry Watermelon, Peach Jam, Pink & Blue
- Ice and cooling: Watermelon Ice, Blue Razz Ice
- Mint: ATL Mint
Many Geek Bar flavors combine two categories. Blue Razz Ice is both a berry and a cooling flavor. Check the exact name on the box, because different sellers sometimes use similar names for different products.
Geek Bar Features and Specifications
Battery: The battery is built in and rechargeable. Capacity is measured in mAh, and the Pulse X has a larger one than the Pulse.
Puff rating: This is a manufacturer or seller estimate, usually shown as “up to.” It is not a guarantee. More on this below.
E-liquid capacity: This is the volume of e-liquid sealed in the device, in milliliters.
Charging: The Pulse X charges through a USB-C port, and one review site reports roughly 35 to 40 minutes to a full charge. Another seller claims 80% in about 20 minutes. These figures differ, so expect some variation.
Airflow and activation: Listings describe the Pulse X as draw-activated with adjustable airflow.
Coil: Both models are listed with dual mesh coils. Mesh coils have a larger heating surface than traditional wire coils.
Nicotine strength: Retail listings for the Pulse give 5% (50 mg/mL). Some sellers also list zero-nicotine versions, so check the label.
Size and weight: One review site lists the Pulse X at 68 grams and 91.6 x 57.4 x 29 mm.
How Long Does a Geek Bar Last?
There is no single answer. Several things change how long a device lasts:
- How often you use it: Someone taking a few puffs a day will get far more days from one device than someone using it constantly.
- Which mode you use: Higher-power modes use more e-liquid and drain the battery faster. That is why the puff rating for Pulse mode is lower than for regular mode.
- Puff length: Longer draws use more e-liquid than short ones.
- Airflow setting: On models with adjustable airflow, the setting can change how quickly the e-liquid is used.
- Battery charge: The device can stop working when the battery runs flat, even if e-liquid remains. Charging fixes that.
- Rating method: “Up to 25,000 puffs” comes from the seller’s own testing. Real use will usually differ.
A more useful comparison is e-liquid capacity and battery size, since those are fixed numbers on the box.
How to Choose a Geek Bar?
Work through these points in order:
- Check the rules first: Age limits and product rules differ by country and by state. Confirm that the product is legal to sell and buy where you live.
- Pick a flavor profile: Decide between fruit, berry, mint or cooling before you look at models.
- Compare e-liquid and battery: These two numbers say more about capacity than the puff rating does.
- Decide if you need extra features: Adjustable airflow, a screen and power modes are only on some models.
- Check nicotine strength: Make sure the strength on the label is what you expect.
- Confirm availability: Some models and flavors are sold only in certain markets.
Geek Bar Comparison
The Pulse X lists higher numbers than the Pulse on battery, e-liquid and puff rating. It also adds a curved screen. Those are factual differences, but they do not make one model better for everyone. A larger device is heavier and usually costs more. The Pulse may suit someone who wants a lighter device and has a favorite flavor that only comes in that model.
Compare models on what you will actually use: how much e-liquid, how long between charges, and which flavors are available to you.
Geek Bar Alternatives
People look at alternatives for a few reasons. A flavor may not be available, a model may be hard to find locally, or they may want a different device type altogether.
When you compare other brands, use the same checklist:
- E-liquid capacity and battery size
- Rechargeable or fully disposable
- Nicotine strength options, including zero nicotine
- Display, airflow and mode options
- Whether the product is legally sold in your area
In the United States, the FDA keeps a list of e-cigarette products it has authorized. As of December 2024 it had authorized 34 e-cigarette products and devices. Authorized products are one category of alternative. Non-nicotine options and licensed cessation products from a pharmacist are others.

Availability and Regulation
Availability depends on where you live. In 2024 the FDA sent warning letters to online retailers selling unauthorized disposable e-cigarettes under the Geek Bar, Lost Mary and Bang brand names. Federal agencies also announced the seizure of about three million unauthorized e-cigarette units worth $76 million, including Geek Bar products. Several secondary sources report that no Geek Bar device has FDA marketing authorization, but check the FDA’s current authorized list yourself. State and local rules add another layer. Laws change, so verify them before you buy.
