Geek Bar Pulse vs Pulse X vs Pulse 2: Which One Should You Pick?

Geek Bar's Pulse lineup now spans three devices we stock at NW Vape Supply, and the names don't make the differences obvious. Here's the short version of how the Geek Bar Pulse, Pulse X, and Pulse 2 actually compare, so you can pick based on how you vape instead of guessing.

The quick answer

The original Pulse (15,000 puffs) is the value pick and still one of the best flavor-per-dollar disposables around. The Pulse X (25,000 puffs) steps up to a bigger 18mL tank and a 3D curved screen. The Pulse 2 (up to 25,000 puffs) is the refined successor to the original — same comfortable shape, but an upgraded chip and coil that keep flavor consistent all the way to the end of the tank.

Geek Bar Pulse — the one that started it

The Pulse popularized the modern disposable formula: a full display showing battery and e-liquid levels, plus dual firing modes. Regular Mode stretches the device to its full 15,000-puff rating; Pulse Mode fires harder for warmer, denser vapor at the cost of battery and juice. It carries 16mL of 5% nic salt e-liquid and recharges over USB-C. If you're trying Geek Bar for the first time or you rotate flavors often, this is the low-commitment entry point — and it comes in the widest flavor range of the three.

Geek Bar Pulse X — bigger tank, bigger screen

The Pulse X bumps capacity to 18mL and roughly 25,000 puffs, with a dual mesh coil and a 3D curved screen. It's the pick if you vape heavily and got tired of replacing the original Pulse every week or so. Flavors skew bold — the sour and "slush" lines hit noticeably harder than the standard Pulse range.

Geek Bar Pulse 2 — the refined successor

The Pulse 2 keeps the original's comfortable form factor and adds Geek Bar's updated VPU chip, an upgraded dual mesh coil, and a raised dome full-view screen. Rated up to 25,000 puffs in Regular Mode (about 15,000 in Pulse Mode), with faster USB-C charging — roughly 80% in 15–20 minutes. The practical difference you'll notice: the last quarter of the tank tastes like the first. Most high-capacity disposables fade; the Pulse 2's chip actively manages power to prevent that. We stock it in the Hubba line — bubblegum-forward flavors like Strawberry Watermelon Hubba and Blue Razz Hubba.

What about the 50K devices?

Above these sit the Pulse X2 (up to 50,000 puffs, 1000mAh battery) and the Geek Bar 50k CLR. If you want the longest-running device Geek Bar makes, that's the tier to look at — but for most people the Pulse 2 hits the sweet spot of size, price, and consistency.

Bottom line

Occasional or flavor-rotating vaper: original Pulse. Heavy daily use: Pulse X or a 50K device. Want the best overall experience per dollar: Pulse 2.
