There have been quite many issues reported for the Geek Bar Pulse X disposable vapes, while not all of these issues appear solvable – at least not in a way that won’t risk breaking the device entirely – a good number of them require simple hacks to work them around. The Pulse X disposable has maintained its spot as the brand’s best-seller for a long time, and there’s been a lot of people owning at least two flavors of this model.

But, well, this device isn’t flawless; if it happens to fall off your hands while vaping, and maybe falls into sand, water, or just a bare floor, you may start facing several issues with it immediately. The screen display may black out or the device would stop hitting. Also, there are complaints about the battery not holding onto charges for a reasonably long time.

Geek Bar Pulse X 25K Overview

Before we head on to the problems and possible fixes, let’s take some time to look at an overview of the disposable vape in question.

So, the Geek Bar Pulse X is a premium disposable vape with a new display pattern; it is the first of its kind to feature a 3D-curved display. This display shows useful information about the vape along with fancy animations. Geek Bar Pulse X is draw-activated, offers decent MTL vaping with adjustable airflow, integrates dual mesh coils and a VPU, hides an 820mAh battery, and is advertised to offer up to 25,000 puffs.

There’s a Regular mode that lets you get more puffs and then there’s the Pulse mode for more intensity and thicker clouds. The dual mesh coils ensure smooth delivery of the prefilled vape juice – even so if the battery of this device runs down while vaping, you can recharge it and continue the enjoyment.

Geek Bar Pulse X 25K Common Problems and Possible Fixes

Just a caution, some fixes here will require you to pry your Geek Bar Pulse device to attempt some technical DIY instructions; if you’re not willing to take such a risk, you could dispose of the gadget and get a new one – this time, a different flavor, maybe?

Why Does My Geek Bar Battery Percentage Drop So Badly?

Battery-related issues are among the issues reported for the Geek Bar Pulse X. If yours drops from 60% to 15% or lower in a very short while, there could be a few pointers as to why the device drops that badly.

Possible Causes:

• Bad Charger: You used a low-quality or low-wattage charger or cable to charge the disposable vape; hence, the charge quality isn’t solid enough to hold on for long.
• Weak Battery: If you’ve used the Pulse X vape for a long time, talking about a month or more, then there are chances the issue is due to the weakness of the battery. Disposable vape batteries get weaker from frequent charges.
• Your Vaping Mode: Switching to Pulse mode, you must understand that the device’s battery will drop faster than it does when you’re on Regular mode.

Solution Tips:

• Change Charger/Cable: Try using the original charging cable included with the vape inside the packaging. Also, try using another charger head, this time, a higher-wattage one.
• Change the Battery: If you’re willing to open up the vape, then this fix could work for you. Here, you have to open up the device, disconnect the old battery, install a new one, and then reassemble the vape.
• Tune Down Power: Since you’re so concerned about the battery life, you should always vape on Regular mode, instead of Pulse. But if you must switch to Pulse, expect that the battery will drop faster – though not so fast as going from 50% to 0%.

Important Warning:

EightVape strongly advises against disassembling or attempting to refill the Geek Bar Pulse X. This device is a disposable vape, meant to be discarded once the e-liquid is depleted. If you're interested in refilling your vape, we recommend choosing refillable vape kits instead. Any attempts to refill or modify the Geek Bar Pulse X are at your own risk. EightVape is not liable for any damage, malfunctions, or health risks arising from disassembling or refilling a disposable vape.

Why is My Geek Bar Pulse X Not Charging?

Charging issues are relative, there could be many pointers as to why they are reoccurring. But then, when your vaping device can’t charge, it’s very annoying because there’s no way for you to enjoy your favoring e-juice after the device runs down – and still have some liquid left.

Possible Causes:

• Dead Battery: A dead battery refers to a rechargeable battery that has reached its EOL (End of Life), or is severely damaged and needs replacement. If your vape’s battery is dead, it won’t charge.
• Charger Related: Maybe you’re using a very low-wattage battery that does not supply enough power to charge the disposable.
• Charging Port Issues:If the charging port on your Geek Bar Pulse X has dirt clustered inside, it will be difficult for currents to pass through from the charger to the device. Dirt and clogs inside the charger point can be the reason for this issue.

Solution Tips:

• Replace Battery: If what you’re facing is a dead battery, sadly, you will need to open the vape and replace the battery – this is quite a technical task and you may end up wrecking the device entirely, if not done properly.
• Switch Charger: Charge the device using another charger and see if it powers on – if it does, then the issue you were facing was because of the previous charger.
• Blow the Charging Port: Of course, if dirt and debris are residing inside the charging port, you need to blow them away for the device to charge.

Why Does The Geek Bar Pulse X Hit Harder?

Depends on what you mean by “harder.” Do you mean the vape kicks you off more than you expected? Well, the Geek Bar Pulse X has a high-intensity Pulse Mode that hits hard, maybe you switched to that mode.

Possible Causes:

• Pulse Mode: The Pulse mode on Pulse X is designed to utilize up to 25W power, which makes it deliver high-intensity vaping, and if you’re on tight airflow too, the hits would go harder.
• Coil Related: Another reason why your Pulse X may be hitting so hard could be the coil – maybe the coil is overheating. This is usually the case if you’re having a burnt taste that goes along with the hard hits.

Solution Tips:

• Switch Your Mode: If the Pulse mode hits too hard, tune down to Regular mode and enjoy the mild hits it has to offer.
• Replace the Coil: Replacing the coil of a disposable vape is literally impossible, your best bet is to get a new device.

My Geek Bar Pulse X 25000 Auto Fires, Why?

Auto firing means your Geek Bar Pulse X hits on its own, even without you making the draw. This disposable vape is powered by an auto-draw system, so if it hits on its own, then there’s a problem.

Possible Causes:

• Sensor Problem: The most common reason for auto-firing on a Pulse X vape is when the auto-draw sensor is malfunctioning – so the device produces hits even when there’s no draw action from the user.
• Overcharge / Undercharge: It’s quite funny what overcharging and undercharging or over discharging can cause to a disposable vape. You should never overcharge your vape, or let it stay 0% for a long time.
• Faulty Coil: Another possible reason for this is the mesh coil. A burnt coil or one that has reached its EOL would definitely trigger symptoms such as auto-firing.

Solution Tips:

• Replace the Sensor: Now, this is a tricky one! To replace the sensor on a pod kit cartridge might be an easy task, but to do the same on a disposable is quite a big deal. Firstly, you will have to disassemble the device and find a matching sensor to replace the faulty one, while taking note of the wiring connections.
• Charge Carefully: Don’t leave your Pulse X to charge overnights, and don’t let it stay at 0% for days. These two actions can destabilize the vape’s internal components and cause them to malfunction – these devices are quite fragile!
• Replace the Coil: Similar to replacing the draw-activation sensor, if your device’s coil is bad, and it’s the cause of the auto-firing you’re facing, you will need to get a new coil. Replacing the coil in a Geek Bar Pulse X is a technical task too – you need a matching coil!
• Blow the Mouthpiece: In some cases, the reason for the auto-firing is because the pressure slide is stuck in the open or off position. So, you have to blow into the mouthpiece gently and try vaping again.

Geek Bar Pulse X Keeps Blinking?

The LED blinker on the Pulse X is intended to activate when certain triggers occur. For example, low battery or low fluid levels will certainly cause the LED to blink. But, when the LED keeps blinking even when the battery is fully charged and you still got some e-liquid left, then, that’s a problem.

Possible Causes:

• Low Battery: When the battery level of your device drops below 20%, the LED blinker will trigger.
• Connection Issues: Internal connection issues could be the reason for the constant blinking. This occurs when the wire connection between the battery and the display screen is tampered with or has disconnected.
• Device Malfunction: The non-stop blinking could be a result of an issue within the device’s internal components.

Solution Tips:

• Charge the Battery: Charge up to battery to 90% or 100%, if the blinking doesn’t stop, then it’s not a battery problem.
• Pry the Device: To check if there’s an issue with the internal components’ connection, open the device and inspect the wires. If you find some loose wires, connect them back to their rightful position.

Why is My Geek Bar Pulse X Producing Tiny Clouds?

There are two different modes supported on the Geek Bar Pulse X, and each mode delivers a different level of intensity and cloud production. However, sometimes, getting tiny clouds isn’t because of the mode you’re vaping in, but the airflow adjustment or other possible causes.

Possible Causes:

• Your Selected Mode: If you’re in Regular Mode, you won’t be able to get dense, thicker clouds because this mode uses low wattage.
• Airflow: The reason for the tiny clouds may be due to your airflow adjustment.
• Clogged Mouthpiece / Airflow: Probably, there may be debris blocking the mouthpiece vent or airflow inlet.

Solution Tips:

• Switch Up Modes: Get into the Pulse Mode and see the density of cloud you’d make with each puff! The Pulse mode produces more clouds than the Regular mode.
• Use Loose Airflow: If you’re on tight airflow adjustment, loosen up the airflow. More airflow means bigger clouds, especially for these MTL disposable vapes.
• Blow the Vape: Gently blow the mouthpiece and airflow vents, then try vaping again and see if you’ve got the clouds as expected.

Geek Bar Pulse X Goes Down 1% Juice Every 2 Hits: Why & How?

Going with this frequency of e-liquid consumption, you’d be out of juice in less than 1,000 hits, which contradicts the 25k estimated puff count. Now, here are a number of reasons why this is happening, and they are explained below.

Possible Causes:

• Your Mode Choice: Understandably, you want thicker clouds and more intensity with each draw and puff, so you switched up to the Pulse mode. Well, that Pulse mode is one of the reasons your liquid finishes faster – and your batter drains faster too.
• Factory Fault: Sometimes, this could be a factory fault, maybe the sensor isn’t reading the hits correctly.

Solution Tips:

• Change Your Mode: Most Geek Bar Pulse X users agree that Pulse mode is only just going to “waste” your liquid. Vaping in Regular mode with loose airflow gives almost the same feeling, and you get to vape longer before the liquid runs out.
• Ignore the Decline: Also, a number of Pulse X vapers highlight that even though their device’s juice indicator went down 0%, they were still getting hits for a couple of days more.

Geek Bar Pulse X Maintenance Tips

These handy tips will make your Geek Bar Pulse X vape last longer and deliver optimal performance, always.

💡Always keep the vape in an upright position to avoid the e-liquid slipping out.

💡Don’t let it go to 0%, and if it does, charge it as soon as possible

💡Disposable vapes are no good friends with water and sand, never let your Pulse X come in contact with those elements

💡Disassembling the vape or smacking it may worsen whatever issue you’re facing with it at the moment.
