How does the disposable Geek Bar work?

If you are worried about vaping for the first time, then Geek Bars are the device for you. The Bars have been designed to be as easy to use as possible, making them appealing in the first place. The exterior is smooth and sleek, as well as being small enough to fit in your hand and carry in your pocket or purse. They are totally encased in brightly coloured plastic that is not only funky and vibrant but makes them totally leak proof so you don’t have to worry about keeping them the right way up all the time. The innovative inhale draw activation method truly is the most convenient there is, all you need to do is inhale to start the battery up. This then heats up the wicking material and liquid to produce vape – that’s it! The draw has been set perfectly so it is not too tight or too loose, there really is nothing that you need to think about

They were designed to be used straight out of the box – and boy, Geek Bars don’t disappoint.

You will know when your Geek Bar is running out as you will notice a considerable drop in power and flavour, and eventually you will not be able to puff anything out. Thanks to the battery and liquid ratio, you won’t get the burnt taste that you often get with other vaping devices. If you are worried that you won’t notice your Geek Bar running out, there is a handy blue LED light on the bottom of the device which will go out once your bar is at the end of its life.

Are Geek Bars Safe?

The short answer is – yes, Geek Bars are completely safe to use. The reason that there are so many stories circulating about the safety of Geeks bars is due to the amount of fake and counterfeit bars that have flooded the market in recent times. It is these fake bars that are leaking, overheating and not compliant with current rules and regulations surrounding the sale of vaping products in the UK.

In order to be complaint, disposable vapes must adhere to the below rules:

• The maximum tank capacity is 2ml
• The maximum strength of e liquid is 20mg (20%)
• All products must be submitted to the MHRA before being approved for sale
• All products must contain the relevant warnings and information

As fake and counterfeit products bypass these rules, you cannot be certain that you are using a safe vaping product. To prevent further sales of fake Geek Bars, Geek Vape have introduced the verification tool so you know you are using a genuine product. There will be a security code on your device box as a holographic sticker, and all you need to do is enter the code on the Geek Bar website to verify your device. If you cannot find the security code or it comes back negative, you have been sold a counterfeit product and it should be disposed of immediately.

If you have verified your product, then the only thing that you need to think about is how safe vaping is. Luckily, all products in the UK have to follow the strict rules above, and Geek Bars are a trusted, reputable and recognised brand in the vaping industry. In addition to this, the fact that the Geek Bars are sold ready to use (pre-filled and fully charged) there is little room for operational errors.

Geek Bars and Teenagers

There have been a lot of reports in the media lately about ‘super strong’ Geek Bars, and the fact that they have made their way into the hands of teenagers. Thanks to the influx of counterfeit products on the market, and those shop owners who are not trusted and reputable, unfortunately it is easier than ever for teenagers to get their hands on vaping products.

Any type of vaping product should not be used by teenagers, and the same rule as tobacco applies to them. The UK law states that the minimum age for purchase and use of vaping products is 18, and you should treat any teenager that you see vaping the same way that you would if you saw them smoking. We advise that vaping should be used as an aid to quit smoking, and only those who have smoked before should take up vaping. If you find that your teenager does have access to vaping products, such as your own or older siblings, then explain the risks and consequences of using them, and make sure that you always keep them out of the way.
