Okay, so, I was messing around with those Geek Bar vapes the other day, and it got me thinking, “How much nicotine is actually in these things?” So, I did a little digging and testing of my own. Here’s what I found out.
First Attempt: Reading the Labels
First off, I grabbed a few different Geek Bar types I had lying around. They’ve got the regular Geek Bar, the Lite, and the S600. The labels say the regular one has 2ml of nicotine salt and you can get it with 0mg, 10mg, or 20mg of nicotine. The Lite version has 1.8ml with 20mg, and the S600 is 2ml with 20mg. Seems straightforward, right? But then I started wondering how that compares to smoking.
Second Step: Comparing to Cigarettes
I remembered reading somewhere that one of these bars is like smoking 48 to 50 cigarettes. That’s a crazy amount! Each bar supposedly has 2mg of nicotine salt, which adds up to 20mg of nicotine. I’m not a heavy smoker, so I figured 10mg is probably enough for me. But for someone who smokes a lot, maybe not.
Trying Out Different Strengths
- Geek Bar (20mg): I took a few puffs from a 20mg one. It was pretty strong. Definitely felt the nicotine hit. I don’t think I could handle this all day.
- Geek Bar (10mg): Next, I tried a 10mg one. This felt a lot better. It was smoother and didn’t give me that intense buzz. I could see myself using this more regularly.
- Geek Bar Lite (20mg): The Lite version with 20mg was also intense. I guess the smaller amount of liquid doesn’t change the nicotine kick much.
Diving Deeper: The Geek Bar Pulse
Then there’s this thing called the Geek Bar Pulse. I saw online that it has 50mg/ml of nicotine, which is like 5% nicotine. That’s super high! I haven’t tried this one yet, but that’s way more nicotine than I’d need. There are other places said it typically contains 20mg/ml of nicotine, which is equivalent to 2% nicotine by volume.
Figuring Out the Nicotine Per Puff
I wanted to know how much nicotine I was getting with each puff. I couldn’t find an exact number, but it’s clear that these little vapes pack a lot of nicotine. Each puff probably has a decent amount, especially with the higher concentrations. I guess it’s something you have to figure out based on how you feel and how much you’re used to.
My Final Thoughts
So, after all this experimenting, I realized that the amount of nicotine in Geek Bars can vary a lot. It depends on the type of bar and the strength you choose. For me, 10mg seems like the sweet spot. But if you’re used to smoking a lot, you might need more. And those Pulse ones with 50mg/ml? That’s probably way too much for most people. I’m going to stick with the lower strengths and pay attention to how my body reacts. It’s all about finding what works for you and not overdoing it. Vaping can be a better alternative to smoking, but you still gotta be careful with the nicotine.
