6 min read
Key Takeaways
- Geek Bar rates the Burj 80K at 80,000 puffs from 25 mL of e-liquid, which is 3,200 rated puffs per mL by the maker's figure.
- The battery is a 1500mAh cell with USB-C charging, the largest in the Geek Bar range DirectVape lists, and buyers disagree about how long it lasts.
- Draw is the second most discussed theme, in 26 of 63 reviews, because buyers describe the Burj as a hookah-style device rather than a pocket disposable.
- 63 reviews across seven sites average 4.25 stars, with flavor named in 28 of them.
- Size is the recurring surprise: more than one buyer did not expect how large the body is until it arrived.
What the Geek Bar Burj 80K Is
The Geek Bar Burj 80K is the Geek Bar device built for a desk rather than a pocket. It carries 25 mL of e-liquid, a 1500mAh battery with a USB-C port, a dual mesh coil and an adjustable airflow, and the maker rates it at 80,000 puffs. DirectVape lists ten flavors. Buyers across every site describe the draw as hookah-style, and the flavor list reads that way too, with four mint pairings and a Double Apple among the ten.
| Spec | Geek Bar Burj 80K |
|---|---|
| Rated Puffs | 80,000 |
| E-Liquid | 25 mL |
| Battery | 1500mAh |
| Coil | Dual mesh |
| Airflow | Adjustable |
| Charging | USB-C |
| Flavors Listed | 10 |
Battery and Charging
The cell is rated at 1500mAh and charges over USB-C. That is a larger battery than the other Geek Bar devices DirectVape lists carry, and on paper it should go longer between charges. In the reviews it is the one spec buyers argue about, with eleven mentioning the battery and six mentioning charging.
The favourable side is plain. A buyer on vapesourcing.com writes "The hookah-style shape feels different from the usual disposables, and the 1500mAh battery lasts a good while between charges for me." The other side is just as plain, from a buyer on elementvape.com: "However the battery life is abysmal. I had to keep a charger on me at all times." My reading is that the three power settings buyers describe are the variable: a 1500mAh cell on the strongest setting is a different device from the same cell on the gentlest, and the reviews do not say which setting each buyer ran.
E-Liquid and Flavor
25 mL at an 80,000-puff rating is 3,200 rated puffs per mL, the maker's figure. The ten flavors sort into three groups. Mint pairings are the largest: Grape Mint, Gum Mint, Lemon Mint and Watermelon Mint. Fruit covers Blue Razz, Mango, Strawberry, Peach Ice and Double Apple. Blueberry Gum is the one candy profile. That spread, with mint on four of ten and a Double Apple, is closer to a hookah lounge's menu than to the slush and candy lists on the smaller Geek Bars, and it fits the way buyers describe the device.
No single flavor is named often enough to count across 63 reviews, so the reading here is about the profile as a whole. Buyers call it light rather than sharp. The one longevity complaint that names a number comes from a buyer on vapordna.com: "There's not even close to 80K puffs it went faster than the Geek Bar pulse. However it made big clouds and the taste was good." Fourteen reviews mention longevity, and they split the same way the battery reviews do.
Draw, Airflow and the Screen
The airflow is adjustable and the coil is a dual mesh, and the draw is what makes the Burj a different device from the rest of the range. Twenty-six of 63 reviews discuss it. Buyers describe three power settings and a screen for the battery and e-liquid levels. A buyer on vapesourcing.com writes "The Aura screen makes the battery and e-liquid levels easy to check, and the three power modes provide noticeably different draws."
The airflow control is at the top of the device, and one buyer's note is worth knowing before the first draw. On vapordna.com: "Hits really smooth when you make sure the open the airflow bit at the top of the vape (I didn't at first)." A closed airflow on a device this size reads as a hard draw, and the two-star reviews about the draw being too tight or too loose may be that control rather than the coil.
What Buyers Say
A 4.25 average across 63 reviews, most of them on vapesourcing.com and vapordna.com with elementvape.com and perfectvape.com behind, is a fair score with a wide spread. The five-star reviews are about the draw and the flavor; the two- and three-star reviews are about the battery, the run time and the size. The size comes up often enough to lead with. A buyer on vapordna.com writes "The only downside is I had no idea HOW HUGE this thing was until it was delivered."
Three of the six quotes here are critical, and that is the honest proportion for this device: it is loved by buyers who wanted a hookah-style draw at a desk and disliked by buyers who expected a pocket Geek Bar with more puffs. The maker's numbers support the first group. 25 mL and a 1500mAh cell are not pocket numbers, and the Burj does not pretend to be one.
Where It Sits
Within the Geek Bar range DirectVape lists, the Burj 80K sits above the Pulse X 2 50K, whose name carries its 50,000-puff rating, and the Mate 60K at 60,000. It is the only one of the three with a 1500mAh battery and the only one buyers describe as a hookah-style draw. On the wider channel it belongs in the 50,000-puff class, and it is the device there to pick if you want the Burj's shape and the device to avoid if you want something to carry.
Pick It If, Skip It If
Pick it if:
- You want a hookah-style draw from a disposable, with three power settings and an adjustable airflow.
- You use a device at a desk or at home and want 25 mL and a 1500mAh cell in one body.
- You like mint pairings and a Double Apple: four of the ten flavors are mint, and the list is built for this draw.
Skip it if:
- You want a disposable that fits a pocket; buyers on vapordna.com say the body surprised them.
- You expect the full 80,000 rated puffs and will be disappointed by less; one buyer reports it ran out faster than a Pulse.
- You want a battery buyers agree on; the reviews here split on how long the 1500mAh cell lasts.
The Verdict
The Burj 80K is a different kind of Geek Bar, and most of the reviews that mark it down are measuring it against the kind it is not. The numbers, 25 mL, 1500mAh, a dual mesh coil, an adjustable airflow and an 80,000-puff rating, describe a device that stays on a desk and gives a hookah-style draw across three settings, and the buyers who bought it for that are the five-star ones. The battery reviews split, the size surprises people, and one buyer reports it ran out well short of the rating. If you want the draw and have a desk for it, it is the only device in the range that does this. If you want the puffs in a pocket, the Pulse X 2 is the plainer choice.
