Geek Bar Skyview 25K vs Pulse X 25K: Which to Pick
For adults 21+ only. Smokey Cloudz sells only to adults of legal age. See our Age Policy and Sales Restrictions. Vapes contain nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.
Quick answer: The Geek Bar Skyview 25K and Pulse X 25K cost the same ($24.99) and are both rated for up to 25,000 puffs at 5% nicotine. Pick the Skyview if you want three set wattages (12 W, 18 W, 25 W) and a 1.8-inch TFT screen. Pick the Pulse X if you want the simple Regular/Pulse two-mode setup, a little more listed e-liquid (18 mL vs 16 mL) and multi-pack pricing.

Both of these are sealed, rechargeable Geek Bar disposables with the same 25K puff rating and the same price, so the choice comes down to how you like to control the device and what you want to see on the screen. This guide compares them line by line using only what our product pages list, checked October 24, 2026. Where a page doesn’t list a spec, we say “not listed” rather than guess. Looking at the newer Pulse 2 instead? We cover that in a separate comparison. If you’re weighing the older 15K Pulse, see Geek Bar Pulse vs Pulse X, and for the 50K step up, Pulse X vs Pulse X2.
What’s the difference between the Geek Bar Skyview and Pulse X?
The biggest difference is how power is handled. The Geek Bar Skyview 25K lists three fixed power settings, 12 W, 18 W and 25 W, so you step the output up or down. The Geek Bar Pulse X 25K uses two named modes: Regular, rated for up to 25,000 puffs, and Pulse, a stronger hit rated for up to 15,000 puffs. Its page doesn’t list wattages.
The screens differ too. Skyview lists a 1.8-inch TFT display that shows power level, battery and e-liquid status. Pulse X lists a 3D curved screen; our page notes it was the first disposable with one.

Puff counts are manufacturer ratings. Real-world use depends on draw length, how often you vape and which power setting you use.
Which one gives you more control over the hit?
If fine control matters most, the Skyview has the edge on paper. Three wattage steps give you a low, middle and high option, and the screen shows which one you’re on. Its own page notes that actual usage varies with power setting, so expect the 25K rating to come down if you stay on 25 W.
The Pulse X keeps things simpler: one smoother everyday mode and one stronger mode. The trade-off is printed on the page. Pulse mode is rated for 15,000 puffs instead of 25,000. If you mostly use one setting and don’t want to think about wattage, that two-mode setup is easy to live with.
Both list adjustable airflow, so you can tighten or open the draw on either. Our adjustable airflow guide explains how tighter and looser draws feel.
Which one has more e-liquid and battery?
On e-liquid, the Pulse X lists 18 mL against the Skyview’s 16 mL, even though both carry the same 25K rating. On battery, only the Skyview lists a capacity (800 mAh). The Pulse X page says it is USB-C rechargeable but does not list mAh, so we can’t compare battery size directly. Both are recharged rather than thrown away when the battery runs low. Our how to charge a vape guide covers safe USB-C charging for either one.
Which is the better value?
At a single unit, it’s a tie: $24.99 each. The Pulse X page lists multi-pack pricing, 2 for $44.99 or 3 for $59.99, which works out to about $20 each at three. The Skyview page doesn’t list a multi-pack price. If you buy several at a time, the Pulse X is usually cheaper per device. If you buy one at a time, the decision is about features, not price. For more options in the same range, see best disposable vapes under $25.
Which has more flavors?
The Pulse X lists 21 flavors and the Skyview lists 16 in its flavor menu. Both cover fruit, mint, berry and ice profiles. A few names on both pages: Blue Razz Ice, Miami Mint, Sour Apple Ice and White Peach Raspberry. Skyview-only picks include Strawberry Ice, Triple Berry and Peach Raspberry. Pulse X-only picks include Cool Mint, Watermelon Ice and Strawberry Kiwi Ice. Flavor lineups change, so check the product page on the day you order. Our best Geek Bar Pulse X flavors page goes deeper on that lineup.
Which should you buy?
- Choose the Skyview 25K if you want three set wattages, a TFT screen that shows your power level, and a listed 800 mAh battery.
- Choose the Pulse X 25K if you want simple Regular/Pulse modes, the larger listed e-liquid fill (18 mL), the curved screen, a bigger flavor menu or multi-pack pricing.
