Anyone have any honest reviews for the GEEK BAR PULSE X?!

I’ve tried the grape slush, it’s nasty!
white peach raspberry.. peach gets to be too much..
sour straws is decent but gets old!
Not into the pineapple or pine colada ones!
Banana taffy not my thing..
Blue rancher? Ew..
Not into any type of SLUSH.. or the Jam ones.

really wish they had the meta moon or even the sour blue dust in the X! Sadly they do not! I buy online at EjuiceDB for 14$ for geek bar pulse and 17$ for the X! I want to stock up but scared to waste my money and wait 4 days for shipping and then hate it onto of wasting my money.. and want to get some of the X because they last longer! My vape is glued to me lmao I literally sleep with it! (Guessing most vapers do?!)

Any suggestions? And if you have any opinions or reviews on other nasty ones? Please inform me! Haha

I'm with smacuser , buying prefilled things limits you to what's on offer from the makers and you can waste a lot of time and money on things you find you. don't like.

Were I you I'd spend the money on a decent mod and a good tank, start off with some unfluvoured juice and work from there....

Vape store employee here. I'm more of a mod guy. But have tested most flavors. I really like Lemon heads and grapefruit refresher from GB Pulse X line. Haven't tried the jam edition yet, we have them on order for my shop atm. Maybe you'd like one of the blow pops?? Or a blue razz ice? Of one of the fcuking fab's might be your thing. Take my advice with a grain of salt, as taste is subjective. Keep Vaping!

Disposable vapes have some issues:

1.)They’re wildly expensive long term.
You keep on having to buy whole new devices. Sure the devices cost half as much, but by the time you’ve bought your 4th one you’re money behind. They’re only a little cheaper than analogs. Maybe 5 to 10 times what the next cheapest thing does.

2.) They’re a kind of crappy vape.
Disposables have to use 100% PG, there is no other option. They don’t use normal tanks. Instead they have a system similar to markers where the liquid is soaked into a pith-like material that is used as a reservoir. PG is good for flavor but lousy for everything else. It’s harsh, it doesn’t produce much vapor, people often become allergic to it. When given an option PG is almost always mixed with at least some VG. It improves things immensely.

3.). They can’t be titrated and the available strengths are flat-out creepy.
If all you vape are disposables you’re locked. The lack of an ability to titrate and the nicotine levels sold means you’re locked in a cycle of addiction that can never be broken. They are theoretically available as zeroes, but shops don’t carry the zeroes. So really there are 2 strengths:
A.) 3%(3.5mg/ml) equivalent to the low end of an ultralight cigarette. Enough nic to addict you but only that much. This one is actually kind of rare. They’re slightly easier to cold turkey from than a full flavor cigarette but not much.
B.) 5%(6.2mg/ml). Equivelant to the low end of a light/high end of an ultralight cigarette
That’s it. That’s all. Liquid nic is expensive. So they put in only enough to addict you, and they do not offer a way to stop. They could, they just don’t.

4.) They lie.
Disposable are almost always automatics. This is to say they have no “button” and the only power switch is a vacuum micro switch. These thing are basically tiny tinfoil bags and if *anything ever* gets inside them they stop working. Because of this they’re wildly unreliable. 20 years ago they were the preferred switch in ALL vapes, but they were so annoying that several years later almost no vapes were automatics. The first button switches were things people hand wired into automatics to “unbreak” them because they were sick and tired of constantly replacing the vacuum switches. With a disposable one assumes that if it stops working it is “empty”. This is rarely actually true. What actually happened was the switch died. You don’t even get all of that 10 times as expensive juice as you bought.

She, Hersel,' The Wumman, has said it like it is.

Scottish, Honorific btw. It means - "she's talking sense and you really should listen"

Once again , all I can advise is to get either a Nautilus 3 or an Innokin Zenith and a decent mod to run it like an iStick or any Innokin device and work away with it, maybe even starting with unflavoured juice at 16 strngth - that combo should kill the cravings

If you stick at it for a fortnight and aren't gasping for a smoke, you can experiment with flavours later.

Six days since his post and no replies, I think OP has flown the coop, a flyby.
Aye you're probabaly right - but we do our best to help ... even when they might be what you might call "bankers."

There's just a chance that replies might help someone - as it was when we all came in and were desperate to get off of smoking and spent a lot of time offering support help advice and encouragement to eachother to get through the hard early days.

I make my own juice and use Innokin Z-coils. This one I’m using has lasted 3 weeks.
They do and they don’t. Rebuildables CAN last that long between rebuilds too. It’s just not a great idea. The thing is probably a mass of black goo on the inside. Everything basically works the same way and as a result lasts about the same amount of time. The big disposables may have glass wicks to make them not ever burn and thus taste ok (which is what i think is happening here, you’ve avoided burning the wick). But that doesn’t mean the cotton or the actual coil is clean. It depends on the flavor of course.
The saying is “5 days, or until you burn it”which is something of a generalization. People who vape unflavored can go much longer because theres no buildup. With them its “until you burn it”.
It’s so cheap to do a rebulid though there are who just rebuild every day. They can vape things that gunk up coils too fast like some fruits. I recall pomegranate as being particularly bad that way. Sweet also generally makes lots of buildup.

Well, here I come out of left field as usual.

I get at least six weeks out of a coil - but I vape clear menthol 16 strength liquid at 8 watts with a coil that starts out at 1.6 ohms and which gets changed when it leaks - mine is just about needing changed as it' s reading 1.92 ohms, but there is no loss of flavour and no off tastes and it certainly doesn't taste burnt.

Other's mileage may vary ...
