Alright, let’s talk about this Geek Bar Pulse thing, ya know, the one them youngsters are puffin’ on all the time. They say it’s like smokin’ cigarettes, but not really. So, how many cigarettes is it really like? That’s what we’re gonna figure out, ain’t it?
Now, I ain’t no fancy scientist or nothin’, but I heard folks sayin’ a Geek Bar Pulse is about the same as 48 cigarettes. Forty-eight! That’s a whole lotta smokes, I tell ya. Back in my day, we didn’t have such things. We just rolled our own, none of this fancy battery-powered stuff.
See, one of them Geek Bars, it’s got this thing called “pulse mode”. Sounds all high-tech, doesn’t it? They say it makes the puffin’ smooth, like you’re gettin’ the same amount of… whatever it is… every time you take a drag. And they got this juice inside, they call it “e-liquid”, and it’s got somethin’ called nicotine in it, just like them cigarettes.
- They say one cigarette, you take maybe 10 to 15 puffs, right?
- And you finish it in, what, 5, 8 minutes? Somethin’ like that.
- But with this Geek Bar thing, you gotta puff maybe 30, 40, even 50 times to get the same amount of that nicotine stuff.
So, it ain’t exactly the same, is it? It takes more puffs, but maybe it lasts longer? I dunno. These young folks, they puff and puff, and the thing just keeps on goin’. It’s got this little tank, holds 6 milliliters of that juice. That sounds like a lot to me. And it’s got 5 percent nicotine, whatever that means.
Now, they also say one cigarette gives you about 1 milligram of nicotine. But this Geek Bar Pulse, it gives you somethin’ like 0.04 milligrams. See? It don’t add up! It’s like they’re tryin’ to trick ya. Maybe it’s the way your body takes it in, I don’t know. It’s all confusing to an old lady like me.
But the bottom line is, they say it’s like 48 cigarettes. That’s what sticks in my mind. Forty-eight! That’s a lot of smokin’, no matter how you slice it. And I hear these things come in all sorts of flavors too, like fruits and whatnot. Not like the plain old tobacco we used to have. These youngsters, they got it all figured out, huh?
So, you gotta be careful with these things. Just ’cause it ain’t a real cigarette don’t mean it’s good for ya. Too much of anything ain’t good, that’s what my mama always said. And 48 cigarettes worth of puffin’, well, that sounds like a whole lot of too much to me.
They make these things so you can puff on ’em a whole bunch of times, they say 600 puffs in one of them Geek Bars. And they compare that to 50 cigarettes you gotta puff through. It’s all numbers and whatnot, makes my head spin. But it seems like a lot, don’t it? Makes you wonder what it’s doin’ to your lungs, all that puffin’ and vapor.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about tryin’ one of these Geek Bar Pulse things, you just remember what I said. Forty-eight cigarettes. That’s a heap of smokin’. And just because it tastes like some fancy fruit don’t make it any better. You be careful now, ya hear?
They talk about the “taste performance” bein’ “stable” from the first puff to the last. Well, I guess that’s somethin’, if you like that kinda thing. Me, I always liked a good cup of coffee, not all this fancy vapor stuff. But to each their own, I suppose. Just remember, moderation in all things, that’s the key, even with these newfangled gadgets.
And another thing, they say these Geek Bars are “mouth to lung” devices. That means they’re supposed to feel like a real cigarette when you puff on ’em. So they’re tryin’ to trick you into thinkin’ it’s the same thing, even though it ain’t. It’s all a marketing ploy, if you ask me. They just want your money, them big companies do.
