Shopping for a new disposable vape? Here’s some things you should know about Geek and Elf bars.

Both Geek Bars and Elf Bars are two of the biggest names in disposable vaping at the moment.

Both of these disposable vape pens share a lot of similarities, but which is best and right for you?

Some key differences may end up being deciding factors: how does it look and feel in your hand, and which one set your tastebuds tingling?

In this post, we take you through a run-down of both products, including technical details, device performance and of course, the best flavours.

What are the different features?

Both products are compact, discreet and disposable vape pens.

Designed to be as convenient and hassle-free as possible, they come ready charged, ready filled and ready-to-use straight from the packet.

Both have the same e-liquid capacity and offer the same nicotine strength, but where puff count and battery life are concerned, the Elf bar outruns the Geek bar by a slim margin.

The Geek bar boasts a design unlike most of its competitors, with a rectangular shape and curved edges, tapering off towards the mouthpiece.

The design of the Elf bar is the more conventional of the two and maintains the same shape before it reaches the mouthpiece.

Although the mouthpiece and the body itself is plain black, it features an outer layer in colour to best represent its flavour.

Do they perform differently?

As we’ve already established, both vape pens are very similar on a technical level, and both use Nic salts at a 50:50 VG:PG ratio.

This ensures a vaping experience that’s big on flavour, while producing a modest and discreet amount of vapor.

You’ll also experience a smooth, more cigarette-like experience with this composition.

What flavours are available?

Both the Elf bar and the Geek bar are available in a range of fruity and sweet flavours, perfectly harmonizing with their image as fresh, light, all-day vapes.

Geek Bar currently offers 20 different flavours, including kiwi passion, guava ice and blueberry cotton candy, while Elf Bar currently only sits at 10.

If you’re a vaper who likes to sample a broad range of flavours, you’ll probably like the Geek bar better.

They’re also your only option when it comes to classic, straightforward flavours like tobacco and menthol.

With this said though, the Elf bar collection does offer a few unique flavours that you won’t find within the Geek bar collection – including electrifying sweet treats like cola and cotton candy ice.

Recently quit smoking? Or thinking of quitting? Here’s some of our favourite starter kits to help you along the way.

We know how difficult the attempt to quit smoking is.

It’s easy for it to seem like a daunting task to rid yourself of what you might consider to be a habit of a lifetime. However, with the right nicotine replacement therapy (i.e. patches, chewing gum or an e-cigarette), there is still hope.

Maybe you’re quitting to better your health and prolong your life, or you’re tired of the burnt tobacco smell lingering around you.

But is vaping really the answer?

From the ill-advised and stressful process of going ‘cold turkey’ to using nicotine patches and chewing gum, success in becoming smoke-free is never a certainty, but recent research found that e-cigarettes are far more effective at helping people quit for good.  

It’s important to find a product that works for you, to make your experience more enjoyable and give you the best chance to overcome your cigarette addiction.

Are Geek Bar Products Safe?

Recently, you might have come across a few reports highlighting “super strength” Geek Bar vape devices finding their way into the hands of teenagers.

The popularity of these disposable e-cigs has been further fuelled by social media posts. News outlets have reported what they call a “teenage vaping health scare”, suggesting that these devices are readily available and easily accessible to teens across the country.

The fact of the matter is that Geek Bars are safe, legal, and fully regulated for the UK market. The issue lies with people managing, knowingly or not, to get their hands on counterfeit devices.

Here, we walk through what these devices are, how they work, who they’re for, and how to identify legitimate Geek Bar products.

What are Geek Bars?

The GeekVape Geek Bar is a disposable vaping device that comes pre-filled with 2ml of salt e-liquid with 20mg of nicotine.

As with all vape kits, these disposable vapes are aimed at people who already use nicotine – they’re not a toy, hobby, or novelty item in any way.

They’re nothing more or nothing less than a simple, entry-level vaping product, designed specifically for smokers transitioning to vaping, or as a backup device for existing e-cigarette users while on the go.

Are Geek Bars legal in the UK?

Yes!

The Geek Bars are TPD-compliant and legal to purchase in the UK, and the same goes for the Geek Bar lite models.

Geek Pro devices, however, are exclusively for the US market, and exceed the legal e-liquid capacity of 2ml – containing 4.5ml, it’s out of bounds of TPD compliance and therefore not suitable for sale in the UK.

Be wary of anyone attempting to sell you this model, and only purchase your products from a reputable seller.

Are Geek Bar products safe?

Again, yes!

Geek Bar is a product from Geekvape, who are a trusted, widely recognised, and reputable hardware brand in the vaping industry.

They are totally safe to use and are fully compliant with UK regulations. Since they’re sold ready to use straight from their packaging, they’re already filled and charged, which leaves no room for operational error.

“Safe” is a relative term, however, so it’s worth reiterating that these products contain nicotine, and are solely for use by adults as an alternative to cigarettes to help them quit smoking.

They’re not to be used by children under the age of 18, nor should adult non-smokers use them as a hobby.

Are you one of the 6.9 million adults in England who smokes?

Smoking is the leading cause of premature deaths, accountable for nearly 75,000 preventable deaths each year. But the good news is, it’s never too late to quit.

Giving up cigarettes is one of the best things you’ll do for your health. You’ll reduce your risk of disease (including lung cancer, throat cancer, emphysema, heart disease, kidney disease, etc), live longer, feel healthier, and save money. You’ll improve your sense of smell and taste, too.

So, you’re thinking about taking the plunge into the vaping world?

According to studies, vaping is 95% safer and less harmful than smoking tobacco cigarettes. Unlike regular cigarettes, electronic cigarettes don’t burn tobacco, so don’t produce tar or carbon dioxide. Instead, an e-liquid is heated up to produce a vapour that can be inhaled.

These liquids often contain nicotine, which is what makes smoking so addictive. However, nicotine-free options are widely available. E-liquids also contain propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerine (VG) flavourings, and other chemicals. They do not contain tobacco which is a carcinogen (cancer-causing substance).

On the 20^th May 2020, the UK Government put a ban on menthol cigarettes in a bid to reduce the appeal of smoking and lower the number of people who smoked across the nation. But, how much of an impact has that had on vapers? If you’re new to vaping and are unsure whether you can legally enjoy menthol e-liquids – let us clear things up.
