Are Geek Bars Worse Than Vapes?

Are Geek Bars Worse Than Vapes?

Are Geek Bars Worse Than Vapes?

Geek Bars are not worse than vapes; Geek Bars will work the same way as a normal vape kit and contain the same internal features. Owning a vape kit is much more convenient and cheaper in the long run.

Geek Bars and other e-cigarette vapes are exactly the same, the only difference is that a Geek Bar is a disposable vape kit that can be disposed of when finished. They use very similar e-liquids and flavourings to any other vape kit on the market. Geek Bars are only worse than vapes if they are counterfeit or do not meet TPD regulations.

If you are looking to quit smoking, you might feel relieved to find out that Geek Bars are less harmful than regular cigarettes and will provide you with enough nicotine to satisfy your cravings. Public Health England conducted a study that shows that vaping is no less than 95% less harmful than traditional tobacco items.

So if you’re looking to try out Geek Bars to help you kick the habit of smoking, we know from research that Geek Gars are significantly safer than cigarettes. However, if you have never tried vaping before, using Geek Bars might have slight issues.

Geek Bars only come in two nicotine strengths; 10mg and 20mg. This will give you much less choice compared to other vapes on the market.

The environmental impact of disposables Isn't significant. With regular vapes you are continually using that vape device. However, with Geek Bars and other disposable devices, you contribute to the pile-up of plastic waste every time you throw away a device.

Are Geek Bars Worse Than Normal Vapes?

No, Geek Bars are not worse than normal vapes; Geek Bars work the same way as a normal vape kit and contain similar e-liquid. Owning a normal vape kit is much more convenient and cheaper in the long run.

Geek Bars contain the same mechanical properties as a normal vape. However, they cannot be disassembled. A standard vape gives you more choice regarding nicotine strengths, flavours and resistances, and they work out cheaper in the long run. However, disposables are great to use as a backup device and are convenient for days out.

You might wonder, are Geek Bars then worse than normal vapes? The answer is no; they are not. Geek Bars, or any other standard vape device, were designed to help smokers quit the habit. They were meant to be a healthier and more flavourful alternative to typical combustible tobacco products, which led to the deaths of nearly 80,000 people every year in the UK. Vapes were invented to reduce the number of these preventable deaths and promote healthier habits among UK citizens.

However, that is not to say that Geek Bars are 100% safe. As they are disposable vapes, they do contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance. You should only be vaping if you were a previous smoker trying to quit smoking. If you have never smoked, you should not be using a Geek Bar.
