Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another experiment. Today, I’m diving into something I’ve been curious about for a while now – the Geek Bar vape. Yeah, you heard that right. I wanted to see what’s really inside these things that everyone’s been puffing on. So, I got myself a Geek Bar Pulse X, one of those fancy disposable ones, and decided to break it down from start to finish.
Getting Started
First off, I had to get my hands on one of these. Walked into a local vape shop and picked up a Geek Bar Pulse X. The guy at the counter told me it’s got about 50mg/ml of nicotine, which is pretty standard but still, whoa. I was curious about all the other stuff inside, not just the nicotine.
The First Look
When I got home, I took a good look at the device. It’s sleek, I’ll give it that. It says it’s draw-activated, which means you just inhale to start vaping. No buttons, no fuss. It also says it’s pre-filled, so no need for messy refills, and the battery is built-in. Pretty convenient, I guess.
Digging Deeper
Now, for the fun part. I started by trying to figure out how this thing works. From what I gathered, there’s a coil inside that gets soaked in the e-liquid. When you inhale, the coil heats up, and that’s what turns the liquid into vapor. Simple enough, right?
Taking It Apart
I carefully took the Geek Bar apart. Inside, I found the battery, the coil, and the e-liquid compartment. It’s all pretty compact. The e-liquid was soaked in some kind of cotton material around the coil. I was surprised by how small and neat everything was.
The Ingredients
This is where things got interesting. I knew there had to be more than just nicotine in this e-liquid. After some digging around and reading the tiny print on the packaging, I found out it contains propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and some artificial sweeteners. They say it’s pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, which sounds fancy, but still, it’s nicotine.
Comparing Notes
- Nicotine Content: It’s 5%, or 50mg/ml, just like the guy at the shop said.
- Other Ingredients: PG, VG, and artificial sweeteners. I guess that’s what gives it the flavor.
- How It Works: The coil heats up the e-liquid when you inhale, turning it into vapor.
Wrapping Up
So, there you have it. I took apart a Geek Bar vape and saw what’s inside. It’s a mix of nicotine, some chemicals to carry the flavor and create vapor, and a simple mechanism to heat it all up. It’s kind of cool to see how it all works, but it also makes you think about what you’re inhaling. I’m not here to tell you what to do, but I thought it was worth sharing what I found. Stay safe and informed, folks!
