Blow Pop Geek Bar (also referred to as B-Pop) is a flavor representing the experience of eating an old-school bubblegum-filled lollipop. What started out as one of the most popular flavors offered by Geek Bar has now become a whole family of flavors across their Pulse and Pulse X devices.
In this review we combine technical specifications, real-world user experiences and my own testing to provide you with all of the information needed to find the best sweet, fruity vape for your needs.
What to Expect from the Original Blow Pop Flavor
The original Blow Pop (B-Pop) is designed to capture the multi-faceted experience of eating a Blow Pop. As you inhale, you typically get a combination of strong pineapple, a smooth banana and a tangy citrus. Then, you'll experience a juicy strawberry note, and finally, you'll be greeted by a subtle bubblegum taste on the exhale, simulating the chewy center of a blow pop. Users have described it as sweet and balanced; it has a very minor cooling effect, but it is not overpowering of the candy flavor.
The Complete Blow Pop Flavor Lineup
Geek Bar has taken the idea of the original Blow Pop and created a family of Blow Pop flavors. Below is a complete list of the flavors, including the primary flavors and available devices:
Geek Bar Pulse vs. Pulse X: Choosing Your Device
All of the flavors mentioned above are exclusive to either the Geek Bar Pulse or Pulse X devices. While both models include a USB-C rechargeable battery, a full LED screen to monitor your juice and battery, and dual mesh coils for reliable, consistent flavor, they do differ in terms of overall performance, and price.
- Pulse: Up to 15,000 puffs in Regular Mode, or 7,500 puffs in Pulse Mode. Contains 16ml of pre-filled e-liquid with 5% (50mg) nicotine content.
- Pulse X: Offers up to 25,000 puffs (in Regular Mode), or 15,000 puffs (in Pulse Mode). Includes a more advanced 3D curved display.
For the average user looking to try the Blow Pop flavors, I would recommend the Pulse model. However, the Pulse X is ideal for those that want the most puffs possible, and the longest lifespan of the two models.
Personal Impressions and User Feedback
I have personally tested many of the various Blow Pop flavors, and I was impressed with how well the dual mesh coil system worked to maintain consistent flavor throughout the life of the product. Not once did I ever notice a burnt taste even when the battery was running low.
- Original B-Pop: Successfully evokes a sense of nostalgia. The flavors are sweet, but not overly sweet, and the bubble gum after-taste is very reminiscent of a true blow pop.
- OMG B-Pop: My personal favorite, the tropical twist of the mango and guava notes makes it seem much less sweet than the original, and much more vibrant and exciting.
- Sour Apple B-Pop: The tartness is executed perfectly. It provides a nice sharp, and crisp contrast to the sweetness of the underlying flavors. Great for anyone that wants to cut through flavor fatigue.
As I said earlier, reviews from other users have praised the flavors for being bold, smooth and fulfilling. Experienced users advise having another flavor readily available to 'cleanse' the palate and prevent the sweetness from diminishing over time.
Important Considerations Before You Buy
- Nicotine Strength: All of the Blow Pop flavors contain 50mg (5%) nicotine strength, except for the zero-nicotine version of the Pulse line. However, availability may vary depending upon the location and vendor.
- Compliance Issues: Products containing nicotine are considered to be addictive. Due to compliance issues, they are prohibited for sale in the State of California, and there are restrictions in the State of Texas due to local laws.
- Alternative Products: If you enjoy candy flavored e-liquids, but cannot locate the Blow Pop flavors, some alternatives you may want to consider are Blue Rancher by Geek Bar, Rainbow Candy by Geek Bar, White Gummy Ice by Geek Bar. Other manufacturers such as Foger Switch Pro, and Rifbar Mixpro also offer alternative bubblegum-candy flavored e-liquids.
Conclusion - Who Is The Best Fit For The Geek Bar Blow Pop Line?
The Geek Bar Blow Pop family of flavors is an elite selection of e-liquids for vapers with a sweet tooth who prefer the nostalgic flavor experience associated with candy-based e-liquids. The devices are easy-to-use, and therefore are a good fit for both beginner and advanced vapers.
For your initial trial, I would recommend trying the original B-Pop flavor on the standard Pulse device. If you are satisfied with the flavor, then I would suggest trying one of the other flavors in the family, such as OMG (the tropical flavor), or Sour Apple (a tangy flavor).
