Introducing the Geek Bar Pulse 2
The Geek Bar Pulse 2 is a rechargeable disposable made for daily vapers who want a little more control over their experience but aren't ready to move to a refillable or closed pod system. It has the same simple, draw-activated design as the original Pulse with a long list of upgrades across almost every feature.
On paper, the specs make it sound like a pretty substantial update, but sometimes relaunches like these just don't make enough of a difference to change how they feel to use. Find out what our vaping experts thought when they put a few of the best flavours in the lineup to the test in this post.

First Impressions
The upgraded LED screen caught our attention as soon as we pulled the Pulse 2 out of the box. The domed display sticks out slightly from the body and gives the front of the device a bit of depth that you won't find on most other disposables on the Canadian market.
The vape itself also feels surprisingly compact for something with this much going on. The rounded edges sit comfortably in your hand, and the raised details along the body give it a little extra grip without making the design feel busy. Geek Bar clearly wanted the Pulse 2 to feel more polished, but didn't want to make it so different that existing Pulse users would have to learn how to use it all over again.
It's a nice compromise.

Using the Device
Charging & Setup
Like most disposables, there's no real setup to speak of other than removing the packaging and protective sticker over the airflow. All we had to do from there was flip it into Regular Mode and take a draw. Geek Bar pre-charges these disposables before they ship so you can start vaping right away.
The USB-C port on the bottom was exactly where you'd expect to find it. Side charging is a little bit more convenient since you don't have to lay your vape down, but it got the job done just fine. Once our devices hit 0%, it was time to test Geek Bar's claim about the battery charging to 80% in just 20 minutes. It's definitely true! A full charge took a little longer, but the extra time was barely worth mentioning.
Draw Quality & Taste
The Pulse 2 fired almost instantly every time we took a draw. Regular Mode gave us a smooth MTL pull, while Pulse opened things up for a warmer hit with noticeably more vapour. Some of us preferred one mode over the other, but overall, both delivered an enjoyable vaping experience.
Geek Bar claims the upgraded hardware should improve flavour consistency, vapour production, and e-liquid efficiency, and we definitely noticed a difference. Flavour stayed strong through longer sessions, we didn’t notice the flavour fading, and vapour output stayed steady long past the 25% marker.
Flavour-wise, Geek Bar is one of the most popular brands on the market for a reason. We specifically tested Blue Razz and White Grape Ice; both were juicy, delicious, and full of flavour.
| Category | Flavours Included |
|---|---|
| 🍓 Fruit | Banana Ice, Cherry Blast Ice, Coconut Ice, Green Apple Ice, Juicy Peach Ice, Peach Watermelon Ice, Pineapple Lime Ice, Strawberry Kiwi Ice, Tropical Mango Ice, Watermelon Ice, White Grape Ice |
| ❄️ Menthol and Ice | Ice Blast, Miami Mint |
| 🥤 Soda and Beverage | None in this lineup |
| 🧁 Sweet | Blue Razz, Blue Razz Ice, Pink Lemon Ice |
| 🍋 Sour Blends | Pineapple Lime Ice |

Performance
The Pulse 2's upgraded 800 mAh battery is about 23% larger than the 650 mAh battery in the original Pulse, but it's still quite a bit smaller than the 1000 mAh batteries showing up in other disposables. Keeping the device in Regular Mode let us stretch the charge out a lot further, so if efficiency is your thing, we recommend sticking with it as often as you can.
We especially loved that Geek Bar decided to go with a 0.8 ohm dual-mesh coil for this update. This resistance specifically is one of the best options out there for getting maximum flavour out of nic salts. Add in the upgraded VPU chip's ability to boost puff capacity by over 30% and it really felt like great value.
Controls
There aren't really many controls to deal with on the Pulse 2, which is pretty typical for devices in this category. You'll find just one switch on the bottom that lets you turn it on or off and switch between modes. It's simple enough for even someone new to vaping to understand in seconds.
Our only real complaint is that you can't adjust the airflow without also adjusting the mode, because they're directly integrated with one another. It's a bit of a pain if you like the stronger output from Pulse Mode but still prefer a tighter draw.
Pro Tips (Shortlist for Vapers)
Image selection: Lifestyle shot, person vaping
- Flavour: Let the device cool down for 5 minutes if hits feel too hot.
- Airflow: Avoid accidentally covering the airflow holes with your fingers.
- Charging: Always charge your Pulse 2 on a clean, dry surface.
- Portability: Switch the device off before putting it in a pocket or bag.
- Storage: Keep it upright in a cool, dry place away from heat or sunlight.
Should You Buy It?
Absolutely, especially if you already like the original Pulse and love Geek Bar's line of flavours. The upgraded coil, faster charging, new VPU chip, and two-mode setup all make a noticeable difference in how it feels to use and how long it lasts, so it really delivers on both value and experience.
What you should think about first is how you normally vape. If you're the type of person who likes to go hard on long sessions fairly often, you might find the battery or the capacity a little lacking. It's an excellent option for daily vapers who want something with a nice balance of efficiency and intensity.
Buy It If:
- You're a fan of the original Pulse
- You want a device that lasts longer
- You're okay with the integrated airflow and modes
- You need to be able to recharge quickly on the go
- You want flavour to stay consistent down to the last drop
Main Use Cases
- All-day daily vaping
- Travel or long work shifts
- MTL or RDL vaping styles
- Vaping on the go
Price and Value
The Pulse 2 comes in at around $30, which feels pretty reasonable for everything you get. The 20 mL capacity, dual-mesh coil, two vaping modes, full-screen display, and fast USB-C charging give it more flexibility than a basic disposable without pushing the price much higher.
The 800 mAh battery might be a little bit smaller than some of the competition, but the quick recharge time really makes up for it and may even be more ideal in some situations. Between that and the upgraded hardware, we think the Pulse 2 offers strong value for daily vapers who will actually use the extra features.

FAQs About the Geek Bar Pulse 2
How long does the Geek Bar Pulse 2 last?
The Pulse 2 is rated for up to 80,000 puffs in Regular Mode, but keep in mind that puff counts are always just an estimate based on testing in a lab. Heavy use and frequent Pulse Mode sessions will shorten its overall lifespan.
Can you recharge the Geek Bar Pulse 2?
Yes. It has a convenient USB-C fast charging port on the bottom. Lay the device down on a hard surface like a table or desk while it charges instead of on your bed, the couch, or another soft surface so it doesn't overheat.
Can you vape the Pulse 2 while it charges?
No. The Pulse 2 doesn't support pass-through charging, so you'll need to unplug it before taking a draw. The good news is that it takes less than a half an hour to fully top up the battery.
How do you switch modes on the Geek Bar Pulse 2?
Use the switch on the bottom to move between off, Regular Mode, and Pulse Mode. Changing modes also adjusts the airflow at the same time, so play around with it a bit and see what you like the most.
Does the Geek Bar Pulse 2 have adjustable airflow?
Yes, but the airflow is integrated with the two vaping modes rather than controlled separately. Regular gives you a tighter draw, while Pulse opens it up.
How do you know when the Geek Bar Pulse 2 is empty?
Check the e-liquid indicator on the screen. Once it reaches empty and the flavour or vapour starts dropping off or tasting burnt, it's time to replace the device.
Why does my Geek Bar Pulse 2 taste burnt?
Chain vaping can overheat the coil and cause a dry or burnt hit. Give the device a break between pulls and stop using it if the burnt taste doesn't go away.
Why isn't my Geek Bar Pulse 2 hitting?
Make sure the device is switched on and check the battery level first. If it's charged and still won't fire, or it arrives DOA, reach out to our support and we'll try our best to help.
