Geek Bar Pulse 2 vs Pulse X: What Changed and Which One Should You Buy?
Geek Bar's two flagship disposables now sit side by side on Canadian shelves: the Pulse X 25K and the new Pulse 2, which launched in Canada in July 2026. This guide compares them spec by spec and answers the most common Geek Bar questions — how long they last, what they cost, and how charging works.
What is a Geek Bar?
A Geek Bar is a pre-filled, rechargeable disposable vape made by Geekvape, one of the most recognized vape manufacturers worldwide. Every Geek Bar sold in Canada contains 20mg/mL nicotine salt e-liquid, arrives ready to use with no refilling or coil changes, and recharges over USB-C so the battery never runs out before the e-liquid does.

How much is a Geek Bar in Canada?
At UniVape, the Geek Bar Pulse 2 is $34.99 and the Pulse X 25K is $37.99. The STLTH x Geek Bar 80K collaboration sits at $39.99. Prices across Canadian retailers typically range from $33 to $42 depending on the model.
How long does a Geek Bar last?
It depends on the model's rated puff count and how you vape. The Pulse 2 is rated for up to 80,000 puffs in Regular Mode — for a typical vaper taking 300–500 puffs a day, that's several weeks to a few months. Pulse Mode draws more power and vapour, which shortens total puff count. The Pulse X's 25,000-puff rating works out to roughly a third of that. When the e-liquid indicator on the screen reaches zero, the device is finished — running a disposable past empty produces burnt taste and should be avoided.
What does Pulse Mode do?
Pulse Mode boosts airflow and vapour output for a stronger draw, at the cost of faster e-liquid use — the Pulse X, for example, is rated 25,000 puffs in Regular Mode but 15,000 in Pulse Mode. Regular Mode maximizes lifespan; Pulse Mode maximizes intensity. Both devices switch between modes on the device itself, and the screen shows which mode is active.
How do you charge a Geek Bar?
Both models charge with a standard USB-C cable — the same one most phones use. The Pulse 2's 800mAh battery reaches about 80% in roughly 20 minutes. A full charge comfortably covers a day of typical use, and the on-screen battery indicator shows exactly where you stand.
Can you refill a Geek Bar Pulse?
No. Geek Bars are sealed, pre-filled devices — the battery is rechargeable, but the tank is not refillable. When the e-liquid is done, the device is done. If you want a refillable setup, a pod system or tank kit is the right product instead.
Best Geek Bar flavours
Flavour is personal, but sales patterns are consistent: Miami Mint is the best-known Geek Bar flavor in Canada, with Blue Razz Ice, Watermelon Ice, and Banana Ice close behind — all four available in the new Pulse 2 lineup. The Pulse 2 launches with 16 flavours; the Pulse X offers the wider chart with over 30, including Rich Tobacco and Root Ice for non-fruit preferences.
Are Geek Bars legal in Canada?
Geek Bar products are legal for purchase by adults of legal age in provinces where flavoured vaping products are permitted. Provincial rules differ across Canada, and UniVape ships only where regulations allow.
Which one should you buy?
Pick the Pulse 2 if you want maximum lifespan per dollar — triple the rated puffs of the Pulse X at a lower price. Pick the Pulse X if a specific flavour from its larger chart is the deciding factor.
