Geek Bar SkyView 25K Review
The Geek Bar SkyView 25K collection is the latest and greatest Geek Bar disposable vape. It is designed to provide a superior vaping experience with optimal flavor extraction. It offers three vaping modes from a dual core heating system. If you are an adult vaper who uses nic salts and is looking for consistent flavor or massive vapor production, the Geek Bar Skyview disposable has the performance to meet your needs.
It is not a tiny disposable device, looking rather more like a vape mod than an old fashioned cigalike, Vuse Alto, Juul or Puff Bar style vape. It has this much bulk because packed with features.
Geek Bar SkyView 25K Review
More germane for the adult vaper, the SkyView provides useful performance upgrades over the Geek Bar Pulse vapes. This includes both the original Geek Bar Pulse and the souped-up Geek Bar Pulse X 25K.

The specifications on paper for the SkyView are pretty standard. It has an enormous, probably inflated, puff count and an e-liquid capacity almost equivalent to half bottle of nic salt juice.
The battery is up to 800mAh, a necessary move when there is a 25-watt power mode and a 1.8" screen. The dual mesh coil is asked to hit at three settings now. The airflow is adjustable and functions independent of mode, which is a nice upgrade.
Geek Bar Skyview 25K Appearance
The Geek Bar Skyview vape is a bit chonky but that is the current style. It is about 2 inches wide and a bit less than 4 inches tall. The bulk isn't surprising though when you look at how much is packed into it. It really does look like a mod with a mouthpiece instead of a tank at that size. The screen is somewhat subdued by modern disposable vape standards at least, with the mode in the center and smaller sub-displays showing e-liquid and battery life indicators.
Geek Bar SkyView 25K Vape Modes
- SOFT: 12W and ~25,000 Puffs
- NORM: 18W and ~15,000 Puffs
- PULSE: 25W and ~12,500 Puffs
SOFT MODE
Vape modes are controlled by a button on the Geek Bar SkyView disposable, which allows for a separate airflow control. What is called "SOFT" Mode is a 12-watt setting roughly comparable to a typical BC5000, Lost Mary OS5000, Orion Bar 7500 style disposable without multiple modes. The adult vaping market is obviously looking for more power than that, even factoring in the 50mg nicotine strength. If a discrete, efficient, and smooth vaping experience is your goal, 12W of power is plenty. The robust flavors of Geek Bar are still quite zesty even at this lowest setting.
NORM Mode
is quite punchy, with a 50% increase in power. This is naturally the most balanced setting, if getting more puffs and more battery life out of each device is your priority, Norm does a better job of accomplishing this while pumping out competitive amounts of power. For your everyday vaping experience, NORM Mode will be the best choice for most.
PULSE Mode
Pulse Mode is the reason these devices exist. Flavor and vapor production are through the roof, and it delivers what they advertise as an unparalleled vaping experience. As befitting a nearly mod-sized device, this power level would be sufficient to fire many a mod coil.
Geek Bar SkyView 25K Display
Revisiting a familiar theme, the 1.8" TFT Screen on the Geek Bar SkyView disposable vape would look at home on full blown box mod. In terms of usefulness, it can be lit up without drawing on the device thanks to the button. This is a very practical and oft-overlooked functionality. The services of a screen make sense as this is a very long-lasting device and tracking how much e-liquid is left would be impossible without the display.
While a big screen on a big disposable, the ostentatious and very bright trappings of the Geek Bar Pulse X aren't present. The animations change slightly but the centerpiece information in the display remains consistent. The old, an intellectually dishonest, knock on the Juul was it was designed to be blend and be discrete for nefarious purposes.
While not quite putting off signal beacon levels of light, no one can accuse this of being a discrete or stealthy disposable device. In fact, a way to dim or shut off the display would be appreciated. The Big RAZ DC25000 has this feature, and it is rather nice for those of us who don't need to be bombarded by flashing lights while using alternative nicotine products.
Geek Bar SkyBar 25K Airflow
Unlike the Geek Bar Pulse series, the Geek Bar SkyView enhances flavor by keeping the airflow control separate from the vaping mode selector, which is now a button. The 1.8" TFT screen is a picture of clarity, displaying vaping mode options, e-liquid level, and battery life.
Each Geek Bar Skyview disposable vape flavor is a harmonious blend. The dual mesh coil is perfect for extracting the tangy sweetness and bold flavors which have made Geek Bar disposable vape devices a smash hit.

Peach Blue Slushy
A bold Peach Blue Slushy flavor is a delightful blend that captures the essence of a nostalgic, icy treat with a modern twist. On the inhale, you'll be greeted by the sweet and juicy notes of ripe peaches, delivering a confection inspired and spirited flavor profile.
Peach Raspberry
The Peach Raspberry flavor delivers an exquisite interplay of two beloved fruit e-liquids, creating a coherent vape that is both invigorating and delightful. Red raspberry notes are tarter than their blue cousin. The nectary sweetness of a juicy peach e-liquid works well with this.
Sky Walker
Presumably, this flavor is named after the Star Wars character and not Luke Skywalker of 2 Live Crew fame. But with flavors like tropical pineapple, citrus and fruit notes, we cannot discount the fact it might be named after the controversial Miami rapper. The Geek Bar Sky Walker has incredibly tasty elements of flavor and their devices have a known propensity for space age themes and the origin of the name will remain forever shrouded in mystery. The tangy and zesty quality cannot be denied.
Sour Watermelon Blue Razz
The Sour Watermelon Blue Razz flavor stands out with its dynamic blend of tart, tangy, and sweet elements. There are enough juicy watermelon notes to impress while it delivers a confection level of tartness. On the inhale, you are greeted with a bold sour kick that comes from the watermelon, capturing the essence of summer with its refreshing and slightly tangy profile.
Strawberry Banana
The Strawberry Banana flavor is a time-tested classic in vaping. Popular in classic e-liquids, it has been a smash hit across generations of disposable vapes.
Strawberry Watermelon Coconut
Featuring the flavor of sweet strawberries and juicy watermelon, the addition of smooth coconut makes this luxuriant flavor almost dessert like. Unlike some coconut vapes, it does not give the essence of sunscreen but reads fruity pina colada on the taste buds with the zing of watermelon confection.
Triple Berry
A mixed berry medley full of ripe and tart flavors. Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry notes seem to dominate a perfectly blended flavor mix.
Twisted B-Pop
A Geek Bar classic, the Twisted B-Pop was inspired by a gum filled lolly confection, although they are not so bold as to call it by name anymore. The twist is that it captures both the apple and the watermelon version of this stick 1980s classic.
Blue Razz Ice
The Blue Razz Ice is a classic and nostalgic version of perhaps the most standard and universal disposable flavor. It has the tartness and notes you expect, with the confection-tinged blue raspberry flavors that recall the golden summers of decade's past. With the vaping mode options soft, this flavor will also remind you of that lozenge shaped vape from just a couple years back.
Cherry Lemon
The Cherry Lemon Mint is a masterful fusion of sharp, sweet, and refreshing notes. On the inhale, the taste is dominated by a vibrant burst of sweet cherry flavor, delivering a rich and juicy sweetness. This is quickly followed by a zesty undercurrent of lemon that perks up the senses with its tangy and slightly tart edge. Adding a final flourish to this dynamic duo, the cool and invigorating touch of mint envelops the palate on the exhale, leaving a lasting freshness. This blend not only satisfies the taste buds but also creates a balanced flavor fusion.
Miami Mint
The Miami Mint offers a refreshing escape with its invigorating citrus mint blend. On the inhale, expect a burst of vibrant citrus notes, reminiscent of juicy oranges and tangy lemons, awakening the senses with their zesty brightness. This is seamlessly balanced by a cool wave of mint on the exhale, adding a crisp and revitalizing finish. The citrus and mint combination provides a harmonious fusion that is both energizing and smooth, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a flavorful and cooling vape.
Geek Bar SkyView 25K versus Geek Bar Pulse X 25K
Following hot on the heels of the 25,000 puff Geek Bar Pulse X, it is logical to ask why the SkyView exists. There definitely is some overlap in performance, technology and the range of flavors offered. For a complete breakdown, check out our Geek Bar Pulse X 25000 review. If the original Geek Bar is more your speed, our feature on the Best Geek Bar Pulse Flavors looks at every flavor option in their arsenal.
In terms of style, the Pulse, Pulse X and SkyView all hew closely to Geek Bar's 1960s Space Race style imagery. We will deep dive these two products in an upcoming review but for now it is worth pointing out the Geek Bar Skyview's advantages.
If you are curious about how the flashy Pulse X stacks up to its famous forebearer, the Geek Bar Pulse X 25000 versus Geek Bar Pulse 15000 takes a detailed look at these two disposable vaping juggernauts.
The first is that the SkyView offers three vaping modes rather than two. This helps it keep pace with monsters like the adjustable wattage Lost Mary MO20000 Pro.
The second advantage is the superior adjustable airflow controls on the SkyView. On both Geek Bar Pulses, the airflow is controlled by the same switch you use to adjust the mode setting.
Of course, you can cover various inlets with your thumb but there is no way to use a tight airflow with the boosted mode or to utilize a looser draw with the regular mode.
Our Verdict
A full deep dive is coming, but the author's initial view is that this is a superior product to the flashier Geek Bar Pulse X. It has three power modes, which can be selected by a button, allowing you to control the airflow independently. The Geek Bar flavor quality, including the obligatory "B-Pop" in there. The screen, while perhaps a bit much, is much more subdued and business-like than the Pulse X.
