Both come from Geek Bar and both list 5% nicotine, but they solve different problems. The Mate is a device you keep with pods you swap. The Skyview is a sealed disposable that lets you pick a power level. Everything below comes from our own product pages, checked October 24, 2026. When a page doesn’t list a detail, we say “not listed” instead of guessing. For related matchups, see Geek Bar Mate 60K vs Pulse X2, Geek Bar Skyview 25K vs Pulse X and Geek Bar Skyview 25K vs RAZ LTX.
What’s the main difference between the Geek Bar Mate 60K and Skyview 25K?
The format. The Geek Bar Mate 60K Kit is a reusable device with swap-in pods. Our page lists a 900 mAh device paired with a 200 mAh pod, 1.1 Ω dual mesh coils, Regular and Pulse modes, a Galaxy display and USB-C charging. The listing also says each pod works on its own; the device adds the 900 mAh battery and the display.
The Geek Bar Skyview 25K is a sealed, pre-filled disposable. Our page lists 16 mL of e-liquid, a rechargeable 800 mAh battery with USB-C, dual mesh coils, adjustable airflow, a 1.8-inch TFT screen that shows battery and e-liquid info, and three power modes: 12W, 18W and 25W.
So the Mate is built around refills, and the Skyview is built around adjusting one device to the way you like to draw.

Puff counts are manufacturer ratings. Real totals depend on how long and how often you draw, and on which setting you use.
Which one costs less over time?
The Mate, by a wide margin. A $24.99 Mate kit rated for up to 60,000 puffs in Regular mode works out to about $0.42 per 1,000 rated puffs. A $24.99 Skyview rated for up to 25,000 puffs is about $1.00 per 1,000.
After the first kit, Mate 60K replacement pods are $21.99 each and rated for up to 60,000 puffs, which is about $0.37 per 1,000. In Pulse mode, a Mate pod is rated for 30,000 puffs, or about $0.73 per 1,000. The Skyview has no refill option, so each new one is another $24.99.
Neither page shows bundle tiers to guest visitors, so we only compare single prices.
How do the modes and power settings compare?
They take different approaches. The Mate uses Geek Bar’s two-mode setup: Regular for the higher rating (60,000 puffs per pod) and Pulse for a stronger hit (30,000 per pod).
The Skyview gives you three wattage settings instead: 12W, 18W and 25W. Our page lists one rating (up to 25,000 puffs) and notes that real usage varies with draw length and power setting. It doesn’t give a separate rating for each wattage, so we don’t estimate one. Expect higher settings to use liquid faster.
Which has the better screen and design?
The Skyview gives you more to look at and more to adjust. Our page lists a 1.8-inch TFT screen with battery and e-liquid info, plus adjustable airflow and the three power settings.
The Mate lists a Galaxy display on the device, and its pods have a visible tank so you can check the liquid level by eye. Our Mate kit page doesn’t mention airflow adjustment, so we treat it as not listed. If dialing in the draw matters to you, that’s a point for the Skyview.
How many flavors does each one have?
Our Skyview 25K page lists 16 flavors in its flavor selector today. The Mate kit lists 8, and Mate 60K replacement pods list 15. So the Skyview has the larger single-device menu, while the Mate opens up more choices once you own the device.
Mate pods are made for the Mate 60K. Our kit page says they don’t fit other Geek Bar models, so check our replacement pod compatibility guide before you mix and match. Flavor lists change, so check each product page on the day you order.
Which should you buy?
Choose the Geek Bar Mate 60K if you want:
- The highest rating here (up to 60,000 puffs per pod in Regular mode)
- Cheaper refills at $21.99 per pod
- A device you keep, with a Galaxy display
Choose the Geek Bar Skyview 25K if you want:
- Three power settings (12W, 18W, 25W) and adjustable airflow
