Alright, so I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my Geek Bar lately, specifically about how long it takes to charge these things. So, I decided to run a little experiment and document the whole process. I mean, who doesn’t love a good experiment, right?
First things first, I grabbed my Geek Bar, the one I’ve been using for a few days. It was pretty much dead, no vapor coming out, the whole shebang. I plugged it into my usual phone charger, you know, the standard USB one. I made sure to note down the time – it was 2:30 PM sharp. I set a timer on my phone just to be extra sure I was tracking it correctly.

- Started with a dead Geek Bar
- Used a standard USB charger
- Noted the start time: 2:30 PM
Now, the waiting game began. I went about my day, did some chores, watched a bit of TV, the usual stuff. I kept glancing at my phone, waiting for that timer to go off. Time seemed to move a bit slower when you are waiting for something, I noticed.
After around 30 minutes, I checked on the Geek Bar. The indicator light was on, which meant it was charging. Seemed like it was taking its sweet time. At about the 45-minute mark, the light changed, signaling it was fully charged. I noted the time again – it was 3:15 PM. I unplugged it and gave it a try. Worked like a charm, back in action!
My Observations
So, based on my little experiment, it took roughly 45 minutes to fully charge my Geek Bar from completely dead. Of course, this might change a bit depending on the charger you use or how old your Geek Bar is. But, I think it is a good estimate for anyone wondering.
One more thing I realized – it is probably not a great idea to leave these things charging overnight. It is like, you do not need that much time, and it might even mess up the battery in the long run. Just keep an eye on it while it is charging, and you will be good.
That is all for my Geek Bar charging adventure. Hope this little experiment helps some of you out there. Remember, every device might be a bit different, so your mileage may vary. Stay safe and happy vaping!
