Geek Bar and Geek Max are two separate lines, and the naming does not make that obvious. Geek Bar covers Pulse, Pulse X, Skyview and Meloso. Geek Max covers the Ultra series and a Switch Pro pod system. Here is what each one is for. Geek Bar Pulse The compact everyday device in the range, and the one most people mean when they say Geek Bar. Dual power modes let you trade runtime for a warmer, heavier draw. Flavours we carry include Meta Moon, Grape Blow Pop, OMG Blow Pop, Sour Apple Ice and Tro …

Take it to a battery or e-waste collection point — not the household bin. Every disposable vape contains a lithium cell, and lithium cells that get crushed in a refuse truck or a sorting facility are a documented cause of fires. This is the least interesting page on this blog and the one with the highest stakes, so it is short. Why the bin is the wrong answer Waste collection compacts. A lithium cell that is crushed or punctured can short internally, heat rapidly and ignite — and i …

Decide strength first, capacity second, flavour last. Most people do it in exactly the reverse order, pick a flavour they like the sound of, and end up with a device that is too strong or too big. Flavour is the easiest thing to change next time; nicotine strength is the one that ruins the experience. 1. Nicotine strength If you are not already a regular nicotine user, start at the lowest strength you can find. 5% — that is 50mg/mL — is aimed at established users, and on someone wit …

A screen tells you which of two things is about to end your device — the battery or the liquid. Without one you are inferring it from taste, which usually means finding out by vaping a dry wick. Why the distinction matters These are different problems with different responses. A flat battery on a rechargeable device means plug it in and carry on. An empty tank means the device is finished. Guess wrong and you either throw away a working device or keep drawing on a scorching wick. A screen …

Federal law bans vaping products from the US Postal Service, and requires an adult signature on delivery. That is why a vape order behaves differently from everything else you buy online — not a store policy, and not something any retailer can waive. What the PACT Act requires The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act was extended to cover vaping products in 2021. In practice it means: No USPS. Vaping products cannot travel through the postal service at all, so orders move by private car …

A mesh coil is a flat perforated metal strip in place of a wound wire. It contacts far more of the wick, so heat spreads across a wide area instead of concentrating on a thin filament. That single change is behind most of the flavour improvement in disposables over the last few years. What the old design did wrong A wound wire coil heats along its length, creating hot spots where it touches the wick and cooler areas between. Hot spots scorch cotton, which is a direct route to that burnt taste, …

A charging port decides whether the tank or the battery ends the device — and above about 5,000 puffs, it is usually the battery. That makes the port a more consequential feature than the puff rating printed on the front. The problem it solves Tanks have grown faster than the cells behind them. A device advertising a very high puff count needs a battery that can fire the coil that many times, and on non-rechargeable models it frequently cannot. The result is a dead device with liquid stil …

Nicotine salt is nicotine with an acid added — usually benzoic acid — which lowers the pH and makes high concentrations smooth enough to inhale. Freebase nicotine is the pure alkaline form. That single chemical difference is why a 5% disposable is usable at all. Why the pH matters Alkaline freebase nicotine is harsh on the throat, and the harshness scales with concentration. At 50mg/mL a freebase liquid is close to unvapeable for most people. Adding benzoic acid lowers the pH, cuts …

5% nicotine means 50 milligrams of nicotine per millilitre of e-liquid. The percentage and the mg/mL figure are two ways of writing the same number, and the conversion is simply multiplying by ten: 5% is 50mg/mL, 3% is 30mg/mL, 2% is 20mg/mL. That is the whole conversion. The rest of this page is what the number means in practice. The conversion table 0.5% — 5mg/mL 1% — 10mg/mL 2% — 20mg/mL 3% — 30mg/mL 5% — 50mg/mL To work out the total nicotine in a device, mu …

Upright, at room temperature, out of the sun. That is essentially the whole answer, and it prevents most of the problems covered elsewhere on this blog — leaking, gurgling, flat batteries and faded flavour all trace back to storage more often than to the device. Upright, mouthpiece up Stored on its side or mouthpiece-down, gravity pulls liquid toward the airflow holes instead of the wick. That is how a device that was fine yesterday is leaking in your bag today. Standing it upright also l …
