Pulse Mode is a special vaping mode that’s unique to the Geek Bar Pulse, a new disposable vape that first reached the market late in 2023. The Geek Bar Pulse was one of the first disposable vapes with a smart display that showed the device’s remaining battery charge and approximate e-liquid supply. It was also the first disposable vape with multiple selectable vaping modes, which is what Pulse Mode is.
Pulse Mode enables the Geek Bar Pulse to produce bigger clouds at the cost of increased e-liquid usage. Why should that matter to you? In this guide, we’ll tell you everything that you need to know about Pulse Mode including how it works, what the benefits and drawbacks are and why you might want to use it.
What Is Pulse Mode? What Are the Pros and Cons?
The Geek Bar Pulse is a dual-coil disposable vape, and its ability to use two different vaping modes centers around that fact.
- In the normal mode, the Geek Bar Pulse uses only one of the two coils when you puff on it. The coils alternate with each puff. In this mode, the Geek Bar Pulse lasts up to 15,000 puffs before running out of e-liquid.
- In Pulse Mode, the Geek Bar Pulse uses both coils simultaneously each time you puff on it. This doubles the device’s vapor production while also increasing e-liquid usage. In this mode, the Geek Bar Pulse lasts up to 7,500 puffs before running out of e-liquid.
As you can see, the mode that you select when using the Geek Bar Pulse depends on your requirements for vapor production and how long you want the device to last. If you want the device to produce the biggest possible clouds, you’ll want to use Pulse Mode – and if you want the device to last as long as possible, you’ll want to use the normal mode.
There may also be situations when you’ll want to switch between the two modes. We’ll explain the main use cases for the Geek Bar Pulse next.
Why Should You Use Pulse Mode on the Geek Bar Pulse?
There are two main situations when it makes sense to use Pulse Mode on the Geek Bar Pulse.
- You might want to use Pulse Mode if you’ve tried other disposable vapes and didn’t find them satisfying enough. If you’ve tried other disposable vapes and weren’t able to transition fully from smoking to vaping, you’ll probably want to use Pulse Mode on a full-time basis.
- You might want to use Pulse Mode if you haven’t been able to vape in a while – perhaps because you’ve been in an extended meeting – and want a burst of nicotine to normalize your levels. In this case, you’ll only end up using Pulse Mode part of the time.
Even if you don’t use Pulse Mode at all, the Geek Bar Pulse is still a disposable vape that will probably interest you because of the fact that it has two coils. Sweetened e-liquid leaves residue on a vape coil that causes a burnt flavor and ultimately shortens the coil’s life. Modern disposable vapes hold so much e-liquid that you may sometimes notice a burnt taste well before your device is actually out of vape juice. Because the Geek Bar Pulse alternates between the two coils in the normal vaping mode, you may get twice as many puffs as you would with a normal disposable vape before it begins to taste burnt.
How Do You Put a Geek Bar Pulse into Pulse Mode?
You can put a Geek Bar Pulse into Pulse Mode using the tab on the bottom of the device. The tab has three positions, which work as follows.
- First position (Close):When the tab is in this position, the Geek Bar Pulse is turned off. This makes the Geek Bar Pulse one of the few disposable vapes on the market with an on-off function.
- Second position:When the tab is in the middle position, the Geek Bar Pulse is in the normal vaping mode.
- Third position (Pulse):When the tab is in this position, the Geek Bar Pulse is in Pulse Mode.
How Can You Tell if a Geek Bar Pulse Is in Pulse Mode?
In addition to the fact that the device will produce much larger vapor clouds, you can know which mode a Geek Bar Pulse is in by looking at the device’s screen. In the regular mode, the middle of the screen shows four curved lines that form the outline of a circle. In Pulse Mode, the screen shows an icon of a rocket ship.
What Other Features Have Made the Geek Bar Pulse So Popular?
The revolutionary Pulse Mode would be enough of a selling point for the Geek Bar Pulse on its own, but the reason why this device is so popular is because it has a winning combination of many different features. Here are some of the other reasons why so many people are buying the Geek Bar Pulse right now.
- The flavor selection is amazing. The range of Geek Bar Pulse flavors includes some incredible options like Sour Apple Ice, Mexico Mango, Coconut Milk Ice and Banana Ice Cream along with a certain infamous flavor with a rather cheeky name that we can’t repeat here. You’ll just have to look at the full range to find that one out.
- The smart screen is another revolutionary feature that would have made the Geek Bar Pulse a hit on its own. The screen shows the device’s battery charge and indicates which vaping mode you’re currently using. The biggest benefit of the screen, though, is that it shows an estimate of how much vape juice the device has left. Thanks to the smart screen, you’ll always know when it’s nearly time to buy a new device.
- The mesh coils provide amazing vapor production and flavor quality. Once you’ve used a vaping device with a mesh coil, you’ll never want to use anything else. Mesh coils are nearly silent, and they also require very little power for the vapor production they offer. With the Geek Bar Pulse, you’ll enjoy much longer battery life than you would with a disposable vape using a traditional coil.
