So, the other day, I ran into a little snag with my Geek Bar. I was chilling, you know, taking a few puffs, and suddenly – nothing. It just stopped hitting. I was like, “What the heck?” I mean, this thing was pretty new, and it was working just fine a minute ago.
First thing I did was check the little light on it. You know, the one that tells you if it’s got any juice left. It was blinking like crazy, which usually means the battery’s on its last legs. So, naturally, I grabbed my USB cable and plugged it in. The light came on, so I figured, “Okay, problem solved. Just gotta wait a bit.”
- Waited for the light to change – you know how it goes, sometimes it turns off, sometimes it changes color when it’s fully charged.
- Tried it again, and bam, still nothing. Dead as a doornail.
Then I remembered reading something online about these things sometimes locking up. Apparently, you can unlock them by clicking the button really fast, like five times in a row. So, I gave that a shot, clicking away like a madman. Still nothing. At this point, I was starting to think I got a dud.

Then I thought, maybe it’s not the battery at all. Maybe it’s the coil or something. I’ve heard those can go bad, and it can mess everything up. But honestly, I didn’t have a spare coil lying around, and I wasn’t about to run out and buy one just to test it. Plus, I figured, if it was the coil, wouldn’t it just taste burnt or something? It wasn’t even firing, so that didn’t seem likely.
I even tried not using it in extreme temperatures, like the manual suggests. But it was just my normal room temperature, so that couldn’t be it.
One last thing I considered was this “puff sensor” thing I’d heard about. Apparently, sometimes these sensors can get stuck, and that can cause all sorts of problems. Honestly, I have no idea how to check that or fix it, and it sounds like a pain in the butt.
In the end, I just gave up. I figured it was probably just a dead battery, even though it was pretty new. It’s a disposable vape, after all, so they’re not exactly built to last forever. It’s a bummer, but hey, what can you do? I just grabbed a new one and moved on. Lesson learned: always have a backup!
