How long does a Geek Bar last? It depends on the model, the mode you use, and how frequently you vape. A Geek Bar Pulse 15K typically lasts 1–2 weeks for a moderate user, while the Slimor 32K can stretch to 3–4 weeks. This guide breaks down the real-world lifespan of every Geek Bar model by puff count, estimated days, and battery charge cycles.
Geek Bar Lifespan by Model
| Model | Puffs (Regular) | Puffs (Pulse) | E-Liquid | Est. Days* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulse 15K | 15,000 | 7,500 | 16 mL | 7–14 days |
| Pulse X 25K | 25,000 | 12,500 | 16 mL | 12–21 days |
| Meloso 30K | 30,000 | — | 22 mL | 14–25 days |
| Skyview 25K | 25,000 | — | 16 mL | 12–21 days |
| Slimor 32K | 32,000 | — | 22 mL | 16–28 days |
*Estimated days based on 1,000–2,000 puffs per day (moderate usage). Heavy users (3,000+/day) will see shorter lifespans. Light users (<500/day) may extend well beyond these estimates.
How Long Does a Geek Bar Pulse Last?
The Pulse 15K is the most popular model, so let's break it down specifically.
If you use Pulse Mode instead of Regular Mode, your total puff count drops to 7,500 — roughly half the lifespan. Most users mix both modes throughout the day. A realistic estimate for mixed-mode usage is 10,000–12,000 puffs before the e-liquid runs out.
What Determines How Long a Geek Bar Lasts?
1. Puff Length
Manufacturer puff counts are based on standardized test draws (~1 second per puff). Real-world draws are often 2–3 seconds. Longer draws consume more e-liquid per puff, which means your actual puff count will be lower than the rated number. A device rated at 15,000 puffs might deliver 8,000–12,000 real-world puffs for users who take longer draws.
2. Mode Selection (Pulse Devices)
Pulse Mode runs at higher wattage, consuming e-liquid roughly 2× faster than Regular Mode. Using Pulse Mode exclusively cuts your device lifespan in half.
3. Frequency
A user who takes 200 puffs per day will make a Pulse 15K last over a month. A user who takes 3,000 puffs per day will go through it in under a week. There's no "right" amount — it depends entirely on personal usage patterns.
4. Storage Conditions
Heat accelerates e-liquid degradation. Storing a Geek Bar in a hot car or in direct sunlight can reduce flavor quality and effective lifespan. Room temperature storage is ideal.
Battery Life vs. E-Liquid Life
A Geek Bar can "run out" in two ways: the e-liquid depletes or the battery dies. Since all current Geek Bar models have rechargeable USB-C batteries, the battery itself won't limit your lifespan — you recharge it as needed throughout the device's life.
| Model | Battery | Charges to Finish | Charge Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pulse 15K | 650 mAh | ~8–12 charges | 30–40 min |
| Pulse X 25K | 820 mAh | ~10–15 charges | ~20 min (fast) |
| Meloso 30K | Rechargeable | ~12–18 charges | ~30 min |
| Slimor 32K | Rechargeable | ~14–20 charges | ~30 min |
In practice, the e-liquid always runs out before the battery. When the smart screen shows the e-liquid bar near empty and you notice a decrease in flavor or vapor production, the device is nearing the end of its life. If you get a burnt taste, stop using the device — the e-liquid is depleted.
How to Make Your Geek Bar Last Longer
| Use Regular Mode | 2× the puffs compared to Pulse Mode. Best for all-day use. |
| Take Shorter Draws | 1–2 second draws use significantly less e-liquid than 3–4 second draws. |
| Store at Room Temp | Heat degrades e-liquid. Keep out of hot cars and direct sunlight. |
| Charge Promptly | Don't let battery fully deplete — low voltage can affect coil performance. |
