Geek Bar Pulse versus Spaceman 10K Pro
Disposable vapes have come a long way since their inception and are now at the forefront of vaping technology and popularity. To compete in the disposable vape arena, flavor quality is of paramount importance, but increasingly, cutting-edge features and high puff counts are steering purchasing decisions. The Geek Bar Pulse and Spaceman 10K Pro are examples of how far technology has progressed beyond short-lived cig-a-likes.
Geek Bar Pulse
Nicotine Strength: 5% | 16ml E-Liquid Capacity | Standard/Pulse Mode | Puffs: ~15,000 Standard / ~7500 Pulse Mode | Battery: 650mAh | Dual Mesh Coil | Advanced Dual Core | Full Screen Display
If you are looking for dense vapor performance and intense flavor, the Geek Bar Pulse features a dual core and dual settings. While these are not new to refillable pods, they are rare for one-time use devices, allowing the user to manipulate performance beyond simple airflow adjustments.
Geek Bar Pulse Appearance
The Geek Bar Pulse features a futuristic space capsule-inspired exterior and a full-screen LED display, the world's first in a disposable. It warns of low battery and e-liquid levels and includes cosmic graphics, such as a rocket ship that appears when in Pulse Mode. The device uses high-quality materials including a transparent shell and a comfortable mouthpiece.
Geek Bar Pulse Interface
The device uses a single switch on the base to control functions. When set to "Close," the device is off. In Regular Mode, the LED screen shows green indicator lights, while Pulse Mode displays the rocket ship graphic.
Geek Bar Pulse Performance
The device offers two distinct experiences. Regular Mode extracts up to 15,000 puffs from 16ml of e-liquid by making efficient use of the mesh coil, maintaining flavor stability even as the battery drains. Pulse Mode utilizes 20 watts of power to provide outstanding vapor production and increased intensity.

Designed by Smok, the Spaceman 10K Pro is a high-capacity smart disposable. It features a larger 850mAh battery, providing nearly a third more power than the typical 650mAh power pack used in competing devices.
Spaceman 10K Pro Appearance
The Spaceman 10K Pro is a stout device with a metallic base and a clear shell. It features a discrete smart screen that monitors battery charge and e-liquid levels. The e-liquid indicator uses a color-coded system: Green (31-100%), Orange (6-30%), and Red (0-5%).
Vaping Air Flow and Performance
While most disposables are fixed for Mouth to Lung (MTL) vaping, the Spaceman 10K Pro offers three airflow options: Direct Lung (DL), Restricted Direct Lung (RDL), and Tight MTL. The 0.7ohm mesh coil is specifically engineered to handle wider airflow settings, allowing for more vapor production than traditional disposable vapes.

Our Verdict
The Geek Bar Pulse offers more visual flair and an efficient Regular Mode for high puff counts. The Spaceman 10K Pro acts as a "sleeper" device, offering significant kick through its Smok-engineered 0.7ohm coil and superior battery life. Both devices are capable of intense vapor production at 5% nicotine strength, and the choice often comes down to style and individual flavor preference.
Responsible Disposable Vape Recycling
To ensure responsible disposal, users should fully deplete the battery and e-liquid, locate an electronic waste recycling facility, or dispose of the device in regular waste if recycling is unavailable. Proper disposal prevents environmental pollution and supports the reputation of the industry.
Disposable Vapes Under Attack
Recent data from the CDC 2023 Youth Tobacco Study indicates that youth vaping rates have declined despite the popularity of these devices. Studies show that flavor bans often drive adult vapers back to combustible cigarettes, highlighting the importance of availability for fruit and beverage flavored options for adults.
