How to use a Geek Bar Skyview for the first time

1. Unbox it. Remove the packaging and any stickers or seals over the mouthpiece or airflow.
2. Wake the screen. Take a test draw. The 1.8-inch TFT display should wake up. If the battery reading looks low, charge it with a USB-C cable before you keep going. A charging cable is not listed as part of the product, so use your own.
3. Pick a power setting. 12 W is the lowest power, 18 W is the middle setting and 25 W is the highest. The exact button steps for changing power are in the manual in the box.
4. Set the airflow. Close it for a tighter draw or open it for a looser one. For a general walkthrough, see adjustable airflow vapes.
5. Take a slow draw. The Skyview is draw-activated. There is no fire button. Slow, even puffs work better than short, hard pulls.

12 W, 18 W and 25 W on the Skyview

Our product page lists three power settings. It gives one puff rating for the device — up to 25,000 puffs — and does not list a separate puff count for each setting:

• 12 W: the lowest-power setting. It uses the least e-liquid per puff of the three.
• 18 W: the middle setting.
• 25 W: the highest-power setting. It uses e-liquid and battery the fastest, so expect fewer puffs at 25 W than at 12 W.

That comparison is based on the wattage figures and the single listed rating on the product page, not a count we measured. Real puff counts also depend on draw length and charging habits. Brand-level ratings for every Geek Bar we stock are on how many puffs a Geek Bar has.

How to charge a Geek Bar Skyview

The 800 mAh battery charges through USB-C. Use a standard USB-C cable and a low-power adapter or computer port, watch the battery reading on the display and unplug once it shows full. Avoid high-output chargers and leaving it plugged in after it reads full. A charging cable is not listed as part of the product, so use a cable you already have.

A listed rating of up to 25,000 puffs means you should expect to recharge the battery more than once before the 16 mL of e-liquid is gone. Recharging will not bring the device back after the e-liquid is used up. For general charging tips, read how to charge a vape.

What to do if your Skyview will not hit

1. Charge it. If the screen shows low or no battery, charge it for a while and try again.
2. Clear the airflow. Make sure no cap, wrap or lint is blocking the mouthpiece or the air intake, and that the airflow control is not closed all the way.
3. Change your draw. Take slower, steadier puffs.
4. Check the e-liquid reading. If the screen shows the e-liquid is gone, recharging will not help. It is time to replace the device.

If the device lights up but you get no vapor, see why is my vape lighting up but not hitting. For Geek Bar checks across models, use Geek Bar not working.

When to replace your Skyview

The Skyview is sealed and pre-filled, so it cannot be refilled and the flavor cannot be changed. Replace it when the screen shows the e-liquid is low or gone, or when hits stay weak or taste burnt even after a full charge. A burnt taste usually means the wick has run dry.
