Geek Bar Pulse 2 Vape: Full Review and Buyer's Guide

The Geek Bar Pulse became one of the most influential disposable vapes ever made. Its combination of dual power modes, a smart display, strong flavor output, and high puff count helped set a new standard for the entire category. Competitors spent years trying to copy it.

Now Geek Bar has followed it up with the Geek Bar Pulse 2, and the question everyone is asking is: did they actually improve it, or just update the name?

The short answer is yes, they improved it, and in the areas that matter most: puff count, battery speed, coil performance, vapor output, and flavor. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Pulse 2 before you buy.

What Is the Geek Bar Pulse 2?
The Geek Bar Pulse 2 is a rechargeable disposable vape with up to 25,000 puffs in Regular Mode and up to 15,000 puffs in Pulse Mode. It comes pre-filled with 18mL of 5% (50mg) nicotine salt e-liquid and features an 800mAh rechargeable battery with USB-C fast charging.

It is not a refillable device and it is not a pod system. It is a next-generation disposable that you use until the e-liquid runs out, then discard. What makes it different from older disposables is that it recharges via USB-C, which means the battery will not die before the e-liquid is finished, and that it gives you control over your vaping experience through dual modes and adjustable airflow.

The Pulse 2 launched with two distinct flavor lineups: a core collection of fruit, ice, mint, and candy flavors, and the Hubba Edition, which is a limited set of bold candy-inspired flavors built around the Hubba gum experience.

Regular Mode vs. Pulse Mode: Which Should You Use?
This is the defining feature of the Pulse lineup, and choosing the right mode makes a real difference in your experience.

Regular Mode is the default setting. It delivers a smoother, more consistent draw with up to 25,000 puffs from the full 18mL tank. Regular Mode is optimized for longevity and efficiency. The flavor is rich and consistent throughout, and the vapor production is solid without being aggressive. If you want your device to last as long as possible and prefer an all-day vaping experience that does not overpower, Regular Mode is the right choice.

Pulse Mode turns up the power output. You get denser clouds, a more intense flavor hit, and a stronger throat feel. The tradeoff is puff count: Pulse Mode delivers up to 15,000 puffs instead of 25,000. If you are vaping in a social setting, want a more assertive draw, or are the kind of vaper who prioritizes experience over longevity, Pulse Mode delivers that.

Most vapers pick one mode and stick with it. If you are unsure, start in Regular Mode. You can always switch, and starting in the higher-puff mode means you are not cutting your device's lifespan before you know your preference.

Switching between modes is simple: a quick gesture activates the mode change and the Dome Display confirms which mode is active.

Design and Display Features
One of the first things you notice about the Geek Bar Pulse 2 is that it looks like a Geek Bar Pulse. That is intentional. Geek Bar did not reinvent the shape, because the original shape was already excellent: compact, rounded, comfortable in the hand, and ergonomic to hold for extended sessions.

What changed is the display and the lighting.

The Pulse 2 features an upgraded Dome Full Screen that is brighter and sharper than the original. In real-time, it shows you three pieces of information: current battery level, remaining e-liquid level, and the active vaping mode. This sounds simple, but having live e-liquid and battery monitoring on a disposable device removes one of the most frustrating experiences in the category: picking up a device that dies unexpectedly with no warning.

The Binary Orbit Light is the LED ring that circles the display. It activates when you switch into Pulse Mode, giving you a clear visual confirmation that the higher-power mode is running. The space-inspired graphic design and visual effects are part of what made the original Pulse iconic, and the Pulse 2 carries that identity forward with a more polished execution.

The device is draw-activated, meaning there is no fire button to press. You simply inhale and the device activates. This keeps the design clean and makes the Pulse 2 genuinely beginner-friendly.

Battery and Charging
The Geek Bar Pulse 2 uses an 800mAh rechargeable battery, which is a significant step up from many older-generation disposables that used smaller non-rechargeable cells.

The standout feature is the charging speed. With USB-C fast charging, the Pulse 2 can go from 0% to approximately 80% charge in just 15 minutes. That is enough power for a full day of moderate vaping, achieved in roughly the time it takes to make a cup of coffee.

This matters more than it might seem. One of the historic pain points of high-puff-count disposables was that the battery would drain faster than the e-liquid depleted, leaving you with e-liquid you could not use. The Pulse 2's larger battery and fast charging system are specifically designed to solve that problem by ensuring the battery can keep up with the e-liquid capacity throughout the device's life.

USB-C is now standard, which means you can charge the Pulse 2 with the same cable as most modern phones and laptops. No proprietary charger needed.

Coil Technology and Vapor Quality
The most important upgrade inside the Geek Bar Pulse 2 is the coil.

It uses a 0.8Ω dual mesh coil, which is an improvement over the original Pulse's coil design in two measurable ways: faster, more even heating across the full coil surface, and more efficient e-liquid wicking throughout the life of the device.

The dual mesh structure means the coil heats a larger area of e-liquid simultaneously, which produces denser vapor and more accurate flavor reproduction compared to a single-wire coil. The improved wicking is what keeps flavor consistent from the first puff to when the tank approaches empty. Many disposables fade in intensity as the e-liquid level drops. The Pulse 2 is specifically engineered to minimize that fade.

Geek Bar's updated Vaping Processing Unit (VPU) works alongside the coil to manage power delivery more precisely, improving e-liquid retention efficiency and increasing effective puff output. The result is that the same 18mL of e-liquid goes further in the Pulse 2 than it would in a less efficient device.

Airflow and Draw Feel
The Pulse 2 adds an adjustable airflow control slider, which is a feature that was not available on the original Pulse.

The airflow slider lets you customize the resistance of your draw. Opening it up produces a looser, airier draw with more vapor production per puff. Closing it down tightens the draw to something closer to a cigarette-style mouth-to-lung experience. For vapers who are coming from smoking or who prefer a tighter hit, the ability to fully close the airflow is a meaningful quality-of-life addition.

In practice, most vapers will find their preferred airflow position during the first few sessions and leave it there. But having the option to adjust means the Pulse 2 works well for a wider range of vaping styles than a fixed-airflow device would.

Complete Flavor Guide

Core Flavors
Blue Razz Ice is a classic for a reason. Sweet blue raspberry candy flavor on the inhale, clean icy menthol on the exhale. One of the most popular profiles in the entire Geek Bar lineup and a reliable all-day vape for fans of fruit-and-ice combinations.

Watermelon Ice delivers sweet, juicy watermelon with a crisp cooling finish. Light and refreshing without being overwhelming, making it a strong all-day option for vapers who prefer their fruit profiles clean rather than candy-heavy.

Sour Apple Ice brings tart green apple with a smooth cooling exhale. The sourness is genuine and well-balanced, making this one for vapers who enjoy something with a bit of edge rather than pure sweetness.

Sour Strawberry is juicy strawberry with a mouthwatering sour candy twist. No ice in this one, which makes it stand out in a lineup where most fruit flavors include a cooling element. The sour finish is punchy and satisfying.

Sour Gush leans into bold candy territory, layering sweet and sour fruit notes for a tangy, candy-forward experience. Think fruit punch candy more than fresh fruit. Strong and distinctive.

White Gummy Ice delivers smooth white gummy candy flavor layered with cool menthol. It sits between candy-sweet and refreshing, making it a versatile choice for vapers who want something indulgent but not heavy.

Miami Mint is crisp spearmint with a cool, clean finish. Not aggressively icy, more like a fresh piece of spearmint gum. A reliable option for vapers who want something clean and straightforward without any fruit or sweetness.

Fcuking Fab is a bold fusion of mixed fruit and candy-inspired sweetness. It is one of Geek Bar's most recognizable flavors, carrying over from the original Pulse lineup with its distinctive name and unapologetically big flavor profile.

Hubba Edition Flavors
The Hubba Edition is inspired by the bold, lasting flavor of Hubba Bubba-style bubble gum, translated into candy-forward vape profiles with exceptional flavor staying power.

Blue Razz (Hubba Edition) takes the familiar blue raspberry profile and amplifies the candy sweetness, giving it the concentrated, bold flavor intensity the Hubba collection is built around.

Grape (Hubba Edition) captures classic grape candy flavor, rich and sweet without veering into artificial territory. A straightforward, satisfying profile for grape lovers.

Lemon (Hubba Edition) is bright, tart lemon candy with genuine citrus character. The Hubba treatment makes the sweetness more pronounced than you would expect from a fresh-fruit lemon profile.

White Peach (Hubba Edition) is the softer, more mellow option in the Hubba lineup. Smooth peach sweetness with a balanced finish, less aggressive than the citrus and berry options.

Strawberry Watermelon (Hubba Edition) blends ripe strawberry sweetness with lighter watermelon juiciness. A fruit-forward, candy-sweet combination that works as a relaxed all-day vape.

Geek Bar Pulse 2 vs. the Original Geek Bar Pulse

Who Is This Device For?
The Geek Bar Pulse 2 is built for adult vapers who want the convenience of a disposable without compromising on features or experience.

It is a strong match if you are an existing Geek Bar fan who wants everything the original Pulse offered with meaningful upgrades across the board. It is also well-suited for vapers who have gone through smaller-capacity disposables quickly and want a single device that lasts weeks rather than days. The dual modes make it flexible enough for both casual and heavier use.

The 5% nicotine salt formula delivers a smooth throat hit at a strength that satisfies most adult vapers without harshness. The draw-activated firing and no-button design keep it simple enough for beginners while the dual modes, adjustable airflow, and smart display provide the kind of control that experienced vapers appreciate.

It is not the right device if you are looking for maximum puff count at any cost (larger devices in the 50K range exist for that purpose) or if you prefer open-system refillable devices where you choose your own e-liquid.
