REVIEW: Geek Bar Pulse 2 25K Disposable

Let’s be real, the disposable vape market is absolutely flooded right now. Half of what’s out there is riding big puff-count claims that don’t hold up the moment you actually crack one open. So when Geek Bar dropped the Pulse 2 25K, we were cautiously optimistic. After spending real time with this thing, we’re happy to report: it genuinely delivers.

The moment you pick it up, it feels different. The 3D curved Dome Full Screen on the front isn’t just eye candy, it shows you live battery level, puff count, and your current mode at a glance. The kind of transparency in a disposable is rare, and once you have it, going back feels like flying blind.

This is the feature that sets the Pulse 2 apart from every “just add more puffs” competitor. You get two genuinely different firing profiles built into one device:

Regular Mode is where you’ll live most of the time. 25,000 puffs at a steady clip, with the dual mesh coil working quietly in the background to keep every hit tasting clean. Switch over to Pulse Boost when you want that hit-you-in-the-face-intensity. You’ll burn through e-liquid faster, but the flavor layering is noticeably more complex. Having that voice on demand is a genuine upgrade to daily life.

If you’ve been rocking the original Geek Bar Pulse 15K and wondering whether the Pulse 2 is a real upgrade or just a bigger number on the box, it’s genuinely the former. Here’s the honest side-by-side:

The short version: The Pulse 2 is better in almost every dimension that affects your day-to-day experience. The puff counts are doubled across both modes, the battery is bigger, and the new adjustable airflow switch, something the OG was notably missing, finally lets you tune your draw without being locked into a mode. The faster charge is a small thing that turns out to matter a lot when you’re on the go.

What’s stayed the same is arguably just as important: the 5% salt nic, USB-C charging, and dual mesh coil DNA that made the original so satisfying. Geek Bar didn’t fix what wasn’t broken, they just fixed everything else around it. If you’re still on the OG Pulse, this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. If you’ve never tried one, the Pulse 2 is simply the better starting point. 

Geek Bar put real thought into the flavor roster this time, including a special Hubba Edition inspired by Hubba Bubba chewing gum. Here’s what you’re working with.

• Blue Razz Hubba
• Grape Hubba
• Lemon Hubba
• Strawberry Watermelon Hubba
• White Peach Hubba

The Hubba Edition flavors lean sweet and nostalgic, if you grew up chewing that gum, the Grape or Strawberry Watermelon Hubba is going to hit different.

The adjustable airflow switch (MTL to loose draw) is something we didn't know we needed on a disposable until we had it. Tighter for nicotine satisfaction, looser for cloud production, you can dial it in right on the device without any guesswork.

The VPU technology handles e-liquid reflow and retention with 30% better wicking than the original Pulse. In practice, that means fewer dry hits, more consistent flavor delivery, and a device that keeps performing even when the tank is running low. Vapor volume is up 23.7% over the previous generation too, so clouds are legitimately bigger.

The 15-minute fast charge to 80% is a lifesaver. You're not nursing a dying device for an hour; you plug in, make a coffee, and come back ready to go.

If you vape every day and hate constantly restocking, the 25,000-puff ceiling is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. If you're newer to vaping and want something with no settings to mess with (beyond flipping an airflow switch), the Pulse 2 is probably the easiest premium pick to recommend. And if you're already a Pulse 1 fan; the jump in battery, screen, and vapor output makes upgrading a no-brainer.

The one thing to keep in mind: Pulse Mode (15K puffs) does burn faster, so if you're a heavy cloud chaser who lives in Pulse Mode, your actual device life will be lower than the headline number suggests. That's true of any dual-mode device, so go in with eyes open.
