Best Geek Bar Flavors 2025

After draining numerous Geek Bar disposable vapes, we compiled our reactions and experiences together to come to a consensus on the two main Pulse lines. After the vapor settled, the standout flavors for us were the fruit and candy mixes. That said, the flavor production from these devices is remarkable regardless of our views on specific flavors. 

This list outlines our favorite and most highly rated flavors from the Geek Bar Pulse and Pulse X. Our guide will help you learn more about those devices. First up, though, is the list of the best Geek Bar flavors.

What is a Geek Bar?

Geek Bar is the name of one of the most popular lines of disposable vapes on the market. Made by Geekvape, Geek Bar is the name of the disposable line of devices offered by the vape juggernaut. Currently there are over ten different disposable vapes under the name Geek Bar, like the Pulse Series (Patriot, Pulse, and Pulse X), Geek Bar Skyview, and the Geek Bar Wondar, to name a few.

What’s most important to understand here is that when vapers say “Geek Bar,” chances are that they’re referring to the Geek Bar Pulse, which is the hottest seller of the Geek Bar line. It’s similar to the BC5000, which became known as the “Elf Bar” even though there were many Elf Bar models on the market.

What is the Geek Bar Pulse X?

Despite the Pulse's strong reception, Geekvape didn’t rest on its laurels. The Pulse got upgraded into a new device branded "Pulse X." It features enhanced flavor output capable of retaining its clarity for longer, plus a larger capacity battery and e-liquid reservoir. Also of note, the Pulse X carries with it a different menu.

Geek Bar Pulse vs. Geek Bar Pulse X

If the Pulse is on your radar, then the Pulse X is sure to spark your interest. But what are the differences between them? Are they two different devices, or do they just look slightly different? Is there a difference in performance?

First off, both devices are fantastic performers and with your eyes closed, they’d feel practically the same in the hand. The Pulse is X is slightly larger with a bit of extra weight, due to a larger eliquid and battery capacity. 

Of course, the Pulse is the original and will have more people swear by it. The Pulse X keeps the same body styling, resembling a space-age pod of some sort. They both have rubberized, bite-friendly mouthpieces and feature the Geekvape original “smart” screen that gives a digital readout of the battery and liquid capacity. Also, both the Pulse and the Pulse X have two vaping modes, regular and Pulse mode—another innovation commonplace now in disposables that started with the Pulse.

Build quality and design

The design and build quality of the Pulse and the Pulse X are practically the same. They have the same materials and very similar design philosophy. They both feature that 3D-printed curved screen that helps give the Pulse that unique look and form factor. 

Where they differ is in the aesthetics. The Pulse X lights up with a pulsing and sparkling constellation of lights that practically breathes with you on the inhale. It’s clever form of lightshow that’s worlds away from the glowing light on the end of a cigarette-style e-cig.  

Both the Pulse and the Pulse X have a single-switch form of power adjustment. Built inside that switch there are two airflow adjustments that tighten the draw in regular power mode and open it up in Pulse mode. 

Let’s take a closer look at the specs.

Performance and flavor

Performance-wise, both the Geek Bar Pulse and Pulse X are strong performers. In the Pulse X, Geekvape has updated the dual mesh coils and tweaked the tuning of the power output so that even when the battery gets low, the coils still perform without drop-off. There has been some feedback with the original Pulse that the outstanding flavor fades as the battery drains.

The overall performance of the Pulse X wins. Throw in a quick charge that can get your battery up to 80% charged in 20 minutes, and the Pulse X has almost everything you could ask for. It has more battery life, greater eliquid capacity, and it puts out more consistent flavor. As mentioned, the one thing that the Pulse X does not have going for it is a better menu.

How to use a Geek Bar Pulse

Getting started with your Geek Bar Pulse is straightforward. They both have automatic draw, so there are no buttons to press to take a vape. The one adjustment is the power switch. Here’s what you need to know.

How many puffs does a Geek Bar have?

Due to having two vaping modes, the Geek Bar Pulse was the first disposable to have two different puff counts. As if puff counts weren’t already a headache for customers! Now there are two ratings per device, whenever there’s an extra power mode. This is because the extra power delivered to the coils reduces the liquid faster on the same number of puffs. Think about it like driving fast to get to a destination. You’ll travel the same distance, but one way uses more fuel.

When it comes to puff counts, the Geek Bar Pulse X wins. Check out the details.

Is the Geek Bar really 15k puffs?

Counting this many puffs is practically impossible, but we did design a small experiment to test the e-liquid content claims of the Geek Bar. For science!

We weighed a couple of Geek Bars before starting to vape on them (they came out at 80.2 and 80.9 grams) and then again when they were empty (70.4 and 71.1 grams, respectively.) We kept vaping even after the e-liquid meter went to zero, up to the point where we started feeling a dry puff coming. 

Doing some simple calculations, and considering that the e-liquid used is 50VG/50PG, it turns out that the Geek Bar Pulse contains approximately 8.5-9 mL of juice.

We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call it an even 10 mL. Unfortunately, that's much less than the stated 16 mL. Our guess: the chamber's volume is measured at 16 mL, but they don't deduct the volume of the wicking material (the sponge-like material that absorbs the juice.) For what it's worth, we are confident that many (if not most) companies are using similar methods, resulting in inflated e-liquid capacity numbers.

What is Pulse mode on Geek Bar?

As mentioned, the Pulse mode on the Geek Bar provides extra power. It’s also extra airflow, because Pulse mode is activated by moving the airflow switch to a slightly more open position.

When in Pulse mode, the output is set at approximately 20 watts in both the Pulse and the Pulse X. Remember that you need to activate Pulse mode when you want more flavor, vapor, and more warmth to the vape. Geekvape introduced this innovation to the disposable vape world with the Pulse. Now, it’s becoming about as commonplace as Blue Razz.

How much nicotine is in a Geek Bar Pulse?

Like practically every other disposable available in the U.S., the Pulse and the Pulse X use a standard nicotine concentration of 5%. Another way you may see the amount written is "50 mg/mL." An important thing to know is that although one sounds much higher than the other, they both represent the same thing. 

The type of nicotine used in the Pulse and Pulse X is nicotine salt. No, it’s not salt like table salt. It’s a form of nicotine that's less harsh to the throat, so the user can consume a higher concentration, which theoretically leads to quicker satisfaction. The vast majority of pre-filled vapes worldwide use nicotine salt. 

How much is a Geek Bar?

Unfortunately, there’s only a range. The price can change depending on the shop you buy from or even how long the device has been on the market. For instance, now that newer models are hitting stores, their price range is likely to fluctuate upward, while the Pulse and Pulse X will likely be found with better deals.

Currently, the Pulse ranges between $12-14. The Pulse X goes from $16 up to (and sometimes beyond) $20.

Can you refill a Geek Bar?

The Geek Bar is not supposed to be opened/refilled, and we strongly advise against using any kind of tool on your disposable. These devices contain lithium-ion batteries, and opening them is not a safe practice.

That said, we did open a Geek Bar Pulse, taking all the necessary precautions. It is possible to open by wiggling the mouthpiece using a pair of pliers, and it can technically be refilled this way—although the wicking material won't be in good enough condition to absorb much e-liquid, and flavor will probably be off. 

Why is my Geek Bar Pulse flashing red?

Your Geek Bar is flashing red because the battery is drained and needs to be charged. Although it looks like the device is malfunctioning, it’s just a simple matter of the lithium-ion battery inside being depleted. To charge the Pulse, plug in a USB-C to the vape and charge it like you would any other small electronic device.
