What I have learned about vaping is that the first puff is a great predictor of whether you will love or leave the device. I was excited to get my hands on the Geek Bar Raz and as someone who has tried almost all of the leading disposables on the market, I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Promising 35,000 puffs, a leather inset with RYL chain lanyard, and an HD display, it seemed to resemble nearly anything other than a vape. So here is my upfront Geek Bar Raz review after that critical first puff (and a few days of continual use).
Alert: Before we embark, we request minors and non-puffers to keep off! Nicotine is addictive and harmful.
Initial Thoughts on the Geek Bar Raz
When the Geek Bar Raz Vape arrived, the first thing that caught my attention were the aesthetics. Usually, disposable vapes have a minimalist idea in mind and are purely functional: a pod with some additions, like buttons and airflow. The leather inset helps the device feel premium, as does the RYL chain lanyard that although doesn’t really make this device wearable, you can hang it around your neck. It ended up being stylish as I had my hands full, and still convenient when carrying it around.
The device itself is small, with the specs of 54.0mm x 29.7mm x 92.1mm, which will fit the average pocket, and it still feels solid in your grip. The 0.96″ HD screen, that actually caught my eye immediately – its puff count, battery level, and mode all display on the screen. I won’t lie, seeing a screen display on a disposable was definitely a first for me to experience – I felt like I owned something fancy, not just a puff-and-go device.
Let’s Take the First Puff
My initial vape was Geek Bar Raz Orange Mango; I tasted it from the first puff. This vape was incredibly smooth, the mango flavor was upfront, and the orange flavor had a tang on the exhale. The mesh coil technology really made the flavor pop, and it actually tasted more like drinking fresh fruit juice than just vaping from a device.
The nicotine hit was noticeable but not overpowering. I ordered the 50mg nicotine strength, and expected a choke-inducing throat hit, but there was nothing of the sort—balancing out the flavor was a noticeable throat hit that didn’t go sharp.
After that first puff, I was hooked; it was rich, smooth, and consistent.
Trying Out Geek Bar Raz Flavors
Over the next few days, I tried out the different Geek Bar Raz flavours and here is my opinion on each of them;
- Geek Bar Raz Orange Mango – Exactly how a tropical blend should taste, smooth mango flavour with a citrus splash. This was by far my favourite for daytime vaping!
- Geek Bar Raz Miami Mint – Refreshing and Crisp, It’s like taking a cold breeze into your lungs with each puff. This flavour is great after a meal.
- Geek Bar Raz Raspberry Watermelon – Sweet, but balanced (Watermelon is the dominant flavour, and raspberry adds the zing). A great flavour to replicate summer vibes.
- Geek Bar Raz Icy Mint – This one is extremely cool, it gets so cool that you’re almost sucking cold air into your lungs as compared to vapor. If you like large doses of menthol, this flavour is for you!
- Geek Bar Raz Sour Strawberry – Sweet, but playful with the sour kick, it’ll be sure to leave you satisfied. This is basically like vaping candy!
Performance and Battery Life
According to Geek Bar Raz, the puff count is up to 35,000, and with an 820mAh rechargeable battery and USB-C fast charging, you are set for longevity. I charged it once and vaped non-stop for two days before charging it again. In this case, the OLED screen is worth mentioning; you know how much battery and juice is left to avoid dead vapes that others disposable products tend to have.
The puff output was smooth, and even when the battery fell below 20% it did not feel weak. That means you are consistently getting the same wattage.
Geek Bar Raz Price
One of the more common questions that arises is whether the cost of the Geek Bar Raz can be justified relative to what you are actually receiving. It is definitely on the higher side of disposable vapes, but when looking at premium features like a screen, faux leather designs, a high puff count, and killer flavor profiles it does warrant a higher price point in disposable vapes.
On the other hand, comparing the price to several standard 5,000 puff disposable vapes, you could essentially get the same value. Just the differences in convenience and reliability offsets your initial cost.
For me, it felt like a true investment rather than a one-time disposable. The Geek Bar Raz flavors alone is worth it enough to keep it in the rotation, especially without having to worry about performance dropping off too early.
Where to Buy Geek Bar Raz
When I first started looking for the device, I was unsure whether to go local or to go online. If you are searching for Geek Bar Raz Near Me, whether or not a local vape shops carries it, best bet is to check around for future reference. Depending on your location, price varies for local shops. For me, I found that buying Geek Bar Raz online was smoother despite being skeptical at first. You can find better pricing, better variety of flavors, and bundles if you plan to buy a stash.
