Puff count: 15K vs 25K

The biggest difference is capacity. The Geek Bar Pulse is rated for around 15,000 puffs, while the Geek Bar Pulse X 25K is rated for around 25,000. That is roughly two thirds more puffs from one device. If you have ever wondered how many puffs a Geek Bar has, remember that the rating is a manufacturer estimate. Your real count depends on how you vape, how long each puff is and which mode you use.

How long does a Geek Bar last?

People searching how long does a Geek Bar last usually want a number of days, but there is no single answer. A light user can stretch a device over several weeks, while a daily user will finish one much sooner. The Pulse X gives you more room before you need a new one, which is why heavier users often prefer it. Using the boosted mode generally lowers the total number of puffs you get.

Dual-mode vaping

Both devices offer two modes. A standard mode is designed for longer life and a smoother draw, while the boosted Pulse mode delivers stronger flavor and a more intense hit at the cost of fewer total puffs. [Confirm mode names and per-mode puff figures with the supplier.] Neither device is better here, because they work the same way. The Pulse X simply has more capacity behind each mode.

Battery and charging

Both are rechargeable over USB-C [confirm], so you can top up the battery instead of throwing the device away when it runs low. The Pulse X is built to support a larger puff capacity, so its battery is larger as well [confirm]. Remember that the e-liquid is not refillable, so once it runs out the device is done.

Price: is the Pulse X worth it?

The Geek Bar Pulse X price is higher than the original Pulse, since you are paying for extra capacity. But because you get far more puffs, the cost per puff is often lower. If you only vape occasionally, you may never use the extra capacity, and the Pulse is the better value. If you vape every day, the Pulse X usually works out cheaper over time and means fewer purchases. Check the current Pulse X price on each product page, since pricing changes with flavor and promotions.

Nicotine strength

If you are wondering how much nicotine is in a Geek Bar Pulse, many devices in the range are sold at 5% (50 mg/mL), but always check the packaging for the exact figure on the device you buy. Because the Pulse X holds more e-liquid, it contains a larger total amount of nicotine than the Pulse. Nicotine is addictive, and these devices are intended for adult smokers and vapers only.
