I saw another poster who noticed a difference with their geek bar pulse vape.
I’ve been getting the Geek Bar Pulse Blue Rancher for about a year.
This last month 3 times in a row now it isn’t the same as before.
The battery dies within 2 hours of purchasing and continues to die quickly after charging.
The juice tastes slightly different and also drains extremely fast.
It used to be a darker blue in color now it’s a brighter neon blue.
The quality of the device in general feels cheaper.
I didn’t pay attention to the box other than checking it was the correct flavor.
I purchased it thinking maybe there was mess-up in production but after the 3rd being the same way, I started to wonder if they are changing up the pulse devices or something? I did buy it from the same place so I’m sure they are all from the same box- could it just have been an off box?
Photos show both devices.
On the left is the one I was used to getting for the last year and the one on the right is the device I’ve gotten the last 3x I purchased.

Bought this yesterday realized the box is different and got a headache

Idk what’s wrong with it, everytime I hit it it does this and doesn’t let any smoke out. How do I fix this it was working fine and then all of a sudden it just started doing that

Hey everyone,

I just upgraded from a VooPoo Drag X2 to a SMOK ArcFox with the TFV18 tank. I'm currently using the pre-installed 0.33-ohm mesh coil vaping at 110 watts, and I absolutely love the flavor I'm getting.

I want to get a second tank so I can easily switch between different e-liquid flavors. Since maximum flavor is my top priority—and I don't really care about cloud production—I have a few questions for the community:

The Tank: Should I buy another TFV18 but use a different ohm coil, or should I look into a completely different tank altogether for a better flavor profile?

The Juice: I'm currently vaping Juice Head Freeze Strawberry Kiwi (0mg nic). I want to try something new, like a sweet breakfast cereal, chocolate strawberry, or a really heavy menthol. What brands shine at 110W?

The VG/PG Ratio: What volume/ratio should I go with to get the most intense flavor out of this setup without causing leaks?

Note: I already know about RDAs, RTAs, and rebuildables. I am slowly learning about Ohm's law and all that fun stuff for the future, but right now I just want an easy 'plug-and-play' pre-made coil setup that I can fill and hit.

Appreciate any advice or recommendations you guys have!

i’m still new to this so bear with me please 🥲🥲 but my first one was the sour apple ice flavor (first picture) then i ran out and i brought me the same flavor but more puffs but its doesn’t taste the same. any reason why?

I obviously have a counterfeit but I need the internet to confirm. The employee opened the box and made me try it in the store and that first hit was iffy but I have been sick. When I got to the car I took another hit and noticed a burnt taste and the third hit was brutal. I looked for a code on the box, there isn’t one. So I went back into the store and go ahead and clutch your pearls at this next part in the event you’re as slow as I am: he wouldn’t refund it.
