Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with these Geek Bar things, and I wanted to figure out how long they actually last when they hit zero. You know, how much puff you really got left in ’em. So, I decided to do a little experiment and see what’s what.
First off, I grabbed a brand new Geek Bar, the Pulse 15000 model, just to have a baseline. They say it’s good for, like, 15,000 puffs in regular mode. I also saw some models that are even bigger, like Skyview 25000, that have more puffs. Anyways, I’m not gonna puff on this thing 15,000 times, but I did use it normally for a few days, just to get a feel for how it usually goes down.
Then, I waited till the display on another Geek Bar Pulse hit 0%. Now, this is where it got interesting. Instead of tossing it, I kept on puffing. I wanted to count exactly how many more puffs I could get out of it after it supposedly “died.”
So here’s how I did it. I kept the device near me all day. Every time I took a puff, I made a mark on a piece of paper. Sounds tedious, right? But I was determined to get to the bottom of this. I was puffing away while working, watching TV, even during my bathroom breaks. My wife started to think I was nuts, but hey, science, right?
Throughout the day, I kept track, and guess what? I managed to squeeze out another 580 puffs before it finally gave up. 580! That’s way more than I expected. I mean, the thing said zero, but it kept going like a champ. I even tried some heavy puffing, you know, long drags to see if it would die faster, but nope, it just kept going.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I did:
- Took note of the puff count when the Geek Bar hit 0%.
- Continued puffing normally and kept count.
- Tried heavy puffing to see if it affected the lifespan.
- Recorded the final puff count when the device actually died.
So, what’s the conclusion? Well, even when a Geek Bar says it’s at 0%, it’s not really dead. You can still get a decent amount of puffs out of it. In my case, it was 580 more puffs. It’s like they give you a little extra, just in case. But remember, this was just my experience with one Geek Bar Pulse. Other models might be different. Still, it’s good to know you’re not completely out of luck when that display hits zero.
