Geek Bar Pulse X vs Geek Bar Pulse 15000: the difference
Pulse X vs Pulse 15000 in geekbar.com's own figures: 25K vs 15K stated puffs, 18 ml vs 16 ml, and the Pulse 2 and Pulse X 2 now leading the maker's site.
The Geek Bar Pulse X vs Geek Bar Pulse 15000 difference, in the manufacturer’s own figures: the Pulse X claims 25,000 regular-mode and 15,000 pulse-mode puffs from 18 ml of 5% liquid, against 15,000 and 7,500 for the Pulse. The X adds a 3D curved screen, one-button power adjustment and a quick-charge claim. Both are now last-generation on geekbar.com.
That is the whole answer for a buyer choosing between the two. The rest of this piece is what the figures are built from, what they imply once you divide one by another, and why the question itself is a year out of date on the maker’s own site.
What geekbar.com states for each device
We read the Pulse product page and the Pulse X product page on 11 September 2026. The Pulse page states “Regular 15000 Puffs Pulse 7500 Puffs”, 5% nicotine, dual mesh coil, dual core, a 20 W output and what it calls the world’s first full screen. It states no liquid volume and no battery capacity anywhere in its page text.
The Pulse X page states “Regular 25K Puffs Pulse 15K Puffs”, 18 ml, 5% nicotine, a 3D curved screen the copy calls a world first, a one-button power adjustment, and a claim that 20 minutes of charging reaches 80% of battery capacity. It states no battery capacity in mAh.
So the manufacturer gives you the volume for one device and not the other, and the cell size for neither. For those we went to a retailer. VapeDeal’s comparison table, read the same day, lists 16 ml and 650 mAh for the Pulse and 18 ml and 820 mAh for the Pulse X. Treat the 16 ml and both mAh figures as retailer figures, because that is what they are.
The four-column table, with the rows nobody prints
The two devices in the query are no longer the two devices Geek Bar leads with. The navigation menu on every geekbar.com page we opened lists Pulse 2 and Pulse X 2, and neither Pulse nor Pulse X; the homepage tiles carry the successors’ headline specs. We put all four side by side, then added three derived rows.
Every “not stated” in that table is scoped to what plain page text showed us on 11 September 2026. The Pulse 2 and Pulse X 2 pages appear to render their specification panels as images, so a figure absent from our read may well be on the page as a picture. We report what we could read, not what the manufacturer has decided.
Is the Geek Bar Pulse X better than the Pulse?
By the maker’s numbers, it holds 2 ml more liquid and claims 10,000 more regular-mode puffs. Those two facts do not sit together comfortably. Two millilitres is a 12.5% increase in liquid. Ten thousand puffs is a 67% increase in the count. Divide count by volume and the Pulse X claims 1,389 puffs from each millilitre of the same 5% liquid, where the Pulse (on the retailer’s 16 ml) claims 937.5. The claim per millilitre rose 48% between one generation and the next.
That gap is not a coil discovery. It is an assumption about how much liquid a puff uses, and that assumption is not printed on either page. Our review of puff-count claims covers why a count is not a specification; the Pulse-to-Pulse X step is as clean an example as the category offers.
What the Pulse X genuinely adds is hardware you can see: the curved display, the power button, and a cell the retailer lists as larger and the manufacturer says charges to 80% in 20 minutes. Whether that is “better” depends on whether you want a screen on a product you throw away.
How much nicotine is in each device?
The Pulse X page gives 18 ml and 5%. The category convention is that 5% means 50 mg of nicotine per millilitre, which puts about 900 mg of nicotine inside a Pulse X. The Pulse X page does not print that total; it is arithmetic on two of the maker’s figures and a conversion the maker does not spell out.
The Pulse 15000 page gives no volume, so its total rests on the retailer’s 16 ml: about 800 mg. That is the honest shape of the answer. The manufacturer’s own site will tell you the nicotine in one of these two devices and not the other.
What replaced the Geek Bar Pulse, and what the successors claim
The homepage tiles describe the Pulse 2 as a dome full screen, 0.8 ohm dual mesh, dual-mode device with an 800 mAh fast-charging battery, and the Pulse X 2 as a 3D curved screen, 0.6 ohm dual mesh device with a 1000 mAh battery. The Pulse 2 page carries a footnote that its “Raised Screen” world-first claim is “based on internal research as of April 2026” per a GEEKLAB review of public data. The Pulse X 2 page states, twice, that its 50,000 puffs are “based on GEEKLAB internal testing under REGULAR Mode only”.
Read those two footnotes together and you have the whole trajectory: 15,000 to 25,000 to a self-tested 50,000, with the coil going from unstated to 0.8 ohm to 0.6 ohm and the cell from a retailer’s 650 mAh to a stated 1000 mAh. The Pulse 2 page states no puff count in its text at all, so we print none for it. We also read no discontinuation notice; the older pages still resolve, and “replaced” here means what the menu shows, nothing more.
The cell is the part worth pausing on. A 1000 mAh lithium cell in a product designed to be thrown away is a bigger disposal object than the 650 mAh the retailer lists for the Pulse, and the e-waste rules now catching up with the category are aimed at exactly this growth. For the far end of the same curve, see our HQD SiSA 80K review.
A word on the footer. Every geekbar.com page we read carries a “PMTA” label. That is a label, not a marketing order; we read no FDA page for this piece and make no claim about the regulatory status of any of these devices.
Pros and cons
Verdict
If you are choosing between these two, the Pulse X is the one with a stated liquid volume, which is the figure that does the work. If you are choosing because one is “the latest”, the manufacturer’s own navigation has moved on, and the successors claim more from cells that are larger still.
These are nicotine products. Nicotine is addictive, and this category is for adults of legal purchase age only: 21 or over in the United States, 18 or over in most other markets.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Geek Bar Pulse and Pulse X? On the manufacturer’s product pages, the Pulse X claims 25,000 regular-mode and 15,000 pulse-mode puffs from 18 ml, against 15,000 and 7,500 for the Pulse. The Pulse X adds a 3D curved screen, one-button power adjustment and a quick-charge claim. Both are 5% nicotine, dual mesh coil, dual core devices. A retailer table puts the cells at 820 mAh and 650 mAh.
How many puffs does the Geek Bar Pulse X have? Geek Bar’s own Pulse X page states 25K puffs in regular mode and 15K in pulse mode, from 18 ml of 5% liquid. Those are the manufacturer’s figures, not a measurement, and the assumptions behind them (puff duration, liquid per puff) are not printed. Dividing the stated count by the stated volume gives 1,389 claimed puffs per millilitre.
How much nicotine is in a Geek Bar Pulse X? The product page states 18 ml at 5% nicotine. Using the conventional conversion of 5% to 50 mg per millilitre, that is about 900 mg of nicotine in the device. The Pulse X page does not print the milligram total; it is our arithmetic on the maker’s two figures. The Pulse 15000 page states no volume, so its total depends on a retailer’s 16 ml figure, which would give about 800 mg.
What replaced the Geek Bar Pulse? On 11 September 2026 the navigation menu on geekbar.com listed Pulse 2 and Pulse X 2, not Pulse or Pulse X, though the older product pages still resolve. The homepage describes the Pulse 2 as a dome full-screen, 0.8 ohm dual mesh, 800 mAh device and the Pulse X 2 as a 3D curved-screen, 0.6 ohm, 1000 mAh device with a footnoted 50,000-puff regular-mode claim. We read no discontinuation notice.
