Geek Bar Pulse vs Pulse X: Which One Should You Buy?

Pulse X is the bigger one and costs about $5 more. The question is not which is better, it is how often you are replacing devices. If a Pulse lasts you comfortably, the X is extra bulk for no benefit. If you are replacing them faster than you would like, the extra capacity is the whole point.

What they share

Both use mesh coils, and both offer a dual power mode that trades runtime for a warmer, denser draw. That mode is worth understanding before you compare capacities, because running in boost roughly halves your puff count — and every rated figure assumes standard mode.

The draw feels broadly similar across both. This is the same device family, not two different designs.

What differs

• Capacity. Pulse X carries more liquid, so longer between replacements.
• Price. Pulse is $24.99, Pulse X is $29.99 at the time of writing.
• Size. The X is physically larger. Whether that matters depends on your pocket.
• Flavours. Different ranges. Pulse includes Meta Moon, Grape Blow Pop, OMG Blow Pop and Tropical Rainbow Blast; Pulse X includes Banana Taffy Freeze, Grapefruit Refresher and Watermelon Ice.

The honest recommendation

Buy the Pulse if you are trying the range for the first time, want the smaller device, or are not sure. It is cheaper to be wrong about.

Buy the Pulse X if you already know a Pulse does not last you long enough, or you want fewer replacements and do not mind the size.

In practice the flavour list decides it for a lot of people, and that is a perfectly reasonable way to choose — you will be tasting it every day and noticing the capacity difference roughly once a week.

Check it is genuine either way
