  • Shared core technology: Both the DTL 25K and DTL 42K belong to the Pulse X series and share the same hardware configuration, including an 820mAh battery, up to 40W output, dual mesh coils, and support for MTL/DTL mode switching.

 

  • Key differences: The 42K version offers a higher puff count (42,000 puffs), higher nicotine strength (5%), and a higher price point ($26.99), while the 25K version provides fewer puffs (25,000 puffs), ultra-low nicotine strength (0.5%), and a lower price ($18.99).

 

  • Availability: Both products are listed as “coming soon” on the U.S. Vape Sourcing website but have not yet been announced on GEEKBAR’s official website.

 


 

[2Firsts Original] Recently, 2Firsts observed that e-cigarette brand GEEKBAR has launched two DTL models—the GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 42K—on the U.S. e-cigarette distributor website Vape Sourcing. According to the site, both products are described as the “First GEEKBAR Disposable Vape with DTL Infinite Control.”

 

Part of the GEEKBAR Pulse X Series, with Notable Differences in Puffs and Nicotine Strength

 

2Firsts has compiled and organized the specification details of the GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 42K e-cigarettes, as shown in the table below:

From the specifications, the GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and 42K share the same core technology:

 

Both belong to the GEEKBAR Pulse X series, equipped with an 820mAh battery, dual mesh coil atomizers, a maximum output of 40W, and support for both MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) and DTL (Direct-to-Lung) mode switching.

 

The main differences between the GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and 42K lie in the following aspects:

 

Endurance and capacity: The 42K version offers a much higher puff count—in DTL mode, it delivers twice the number of puffs compared to the 25K version.

 

Nicotine strength: The two models have vastly different nicotine levels. The 42K version contains 5% (50mg) nicotine, a high concentration, while the 25K version contains just 0.5% (5mg/ml), a low concentration.

 

Flavor options: The 25K version comes in more flavors (8 varieties), while the 42K version offers fewer (5 varieties).

From an appearance perspective, 2Firsts observed that the Geek Bar Pulse X DTL continues the design language of the Pulse X 25K Meteor version, still featuring cosmic and starry-sky elements paired with prominent branding and the signature 3D curved display. The packaging also adds a hookah icon, further enhancing the product’s distinctive visual identity.

Brand’s First DTL E-Cigarette

 

According to U.S. e-cigarette distributor website Vape Sourcing, both the GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 42K are described as the “First GEEKBAR Disposable Vape with DTL Infinite Control.”

It is worth noting that DTL products, due to their higher power output and larger inhalation volume, typically maintain a low nicotine concentration of 1% or less.

 

However, according to information from the distributor’s website, GEEKBAR’s 42K version has a nicotine concentration of 5% (50 mg), which is considered a high level—common in MTL (mouth-to-lung) products but relatively rare in DTL (direct-to-lung) products.

Now Available in the U.S. Market – Priced at $26.99 and $18.99

 

The GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K and 42K are now listed on the Vape Sourcing website with a “Coming Soon” status. The GEEKBAR Pulse X DTL 25K is priced at $18.99, while the 42K version is priced at $26.99.

 

Notably, the $26.99 price tag for the 42K version places it in the higher price range of the disposable vape market. As of now, neither of these new products has been officially released on GEEKBAR’s official website.

Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australian Coalition Unveils Illicit Tobacco Plan With 80% Excise Cut and Legal, Taxed Vapes and Nicotine Pouches
Australia’s Coalition has unveiled a national illicit-tobacco policy that would cut tobacco excise by 80% and create legal, regulated and taxed adult markets for vaping products and nicotine pouches if it wins government. The plan proposes an excise of A$0.50 per millilitre of e-liquid and A$0.025 per milligram of nicotine in pouches, alongside A$200 million in additional enforcement and a A$60 million three-year public-awareness campaign. The Coalition says the package would narrow the price advantage of illicit products and undermine organised crime, while Labor and public-health groups warn that dramatically cheaper cigarettes could reverse long-term declines in smoking.

Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation party has proposed cutting tobacco excise by 75%, arguing that lower legal cigarette prices could narrow the gap with illicit tobacco and reduce demand for black-market products. The proposal comes as Australia continues expanding enforcement against illicit tobacco supply chains through border controls, retail inspections and organised-crime investigations. Supporters argue high taxes have contributed to illicit-market growth, while opponents warn that lower tobacco prices could undermine public-health goals. The proposal is a party policy position and has not been adopted by the Australian government.
