Cost takeaway: In Regular Mode, the Geek Bar Pulse 15K delivers the best cost-per-puff of any disposable vape we've tracked ($0.00107/puff). It's half the cost per puff of the Elf Bar BC5000. However, refillable pod systems still beat all disposables — at roughly $0.0005/puff, they're half the cost of even the most efficient disposable. Check our refillable pod vape comparison for switching options.
