Overview
The Geek Bar Meloso 30K isn't trying to be subtle. It's big, bold, and covered in zodiac graphics. Instead of hiding the tech behind a minimalist shell, Geek Bar leaned into the aesthetic here. You're getting a vape that doubles as a conversation piece.

30,000 Puffs
Industry-leading capacity in regular mode
30,000 puffs in regular mode. That's one of the highest counts you'll find on any disposable. For moderate vapers, that's a month or more from a single device. The $20 price tag stings less when you think about it that way.
Geek Bar Meloso 30K Design and Build
This thing is big. 18mL of e-liquid and a 5.68-inch curved display need space, and Geek Bar didn't try to shrink it down. The shape fits comfortably in your hand, but forget about sliding it into your jeans pocket.
The screen is the main attraction. It wraps around the body with curved edges, so you can see it from different angles. At 5.68 inches, it's the largest display on any disposable we've tested. The zodiac graphics give it personality beyond the standard battery bar.
Build quality holds up. The matte finish doesn't show fingerprints, and the device feels solid without any rattling or flex. Mouthpiece is comfortable. The airflow control on the bottom has a nice, sturdy click to it.
Zodiac Theme Deep-Dive
Each flavor gets its own zodiac sign on the curved screen. The graphics animate while you vape, which is a nice touch that no other disposable really does.
Does it affect performance? No. It's purely visual. But it makes the device more interesting to look at, and some people will want to collect the sign that matches their birthday. Gemini gets Root Beer, Virgo gets Watermelon Ice, and so on across all 12 flavors.
Performance: Is Geek Bar Meloso 30K Good?
Short answer: yes. The dual mesh coils keep flavor consistent even after thousands of puffs, and the adjustable airflow lets you dial in your preferred draw. Here's what stood out during testing.
Dual Mesh Coil Technology
Two mesh heating elements vaporize e-liquid evenly. More surface area than single-coil setups means better flavor and vapor. The mesh design also prevents hot spots, so no burnt hits.
The real test? Flavor consistency over time. We pushed this thing past 28,000 puffs and the flavor held up. That's rare for a disposable.
Adjustable Bottom Airflow
A lot of high-capacity disposables skip adjustable airflow. The Meloso 30K has a slider on the bottom that goes from tight MTL to loose restricted DTL.
Here's how the positions break down:
- Closed position - Tight, cigarette-like draw
- Middle position - Balanced resistance
- Open position - Airy, cloud-focused draw
Regular vs Boost Mode
You get two modes to choose from:
| Mode | Puff Count | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | 30,000 | Cooler vapor, extended battery | All-day use, maximum longevity |
| Boost | 15,000 | Warmer vapor, enhanced flavor | Stronger hits, flavor intensity |
Regular mode is the default. Cooler vapor, lower power draw, and the full 30,000 puffs. Good for all-day use when you want the device to last.
Boost mode cranks up the power. Warmer vapor, more intense flavor, but you burn through juice twice as fast. Expect around 15,000 puffs instead.
Triple-click to switch modes. The display shows which one is active.
Geek Bar Meloso 30K Battery Life and Charging
The 800mAh battery handles the Meloso 30K's capacity well. In regular mode, expect 500-700 puffs between charges. That's a full day for most people.
USB-C Charging
USB-C port on the bottom. Charging is fast:
| Charge Time | Battery Level |
|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 50% |
| 30 minutes | 85% |
| 45 minutes | 100% |
It comes partially charged out of the box. Plug it in and the display shows charging progress.
Battery Indicator
The curved display shows exact battery percentage. No guessing with vague bars. You'll get a low battery warning at 20%, plenty of time to find a charger.
Geek Bar Meloso 30K Flavors
12 flavors at launch, each with its own zodiac pairing:
Menthol/Ice:
- Magic Mint - Cool spearmint with a light sweetness
- Stone Freeze - Straight icy menthol
- Watermelon Ice - Fresh watermelon with cooling on the exhale
Fruit:
- Mexico Mango - Sweet, ripe mango
- Summer Grape - Bold grape, not too sweet

The dual mesh coils pull flavor well across the lineup. Menthol options have solid cooling, and the fruit flavors taste more natural than artificial. Check our Geek Bar flavors guide or best flavors ranked for the full breakdown.
Geek Bar Meloso 30K vs Pulse X 25K
Geek Bar has two flagships now. Here's how they stack up:
| Feature | Meloso 30K | Pulse X 25K |
|---|---|---|
| Puff Count | 30,000 / 15,000 | 25,000 / 15,000 |
| E-Liquid | 18mL | 18mL |
| Battery | 800mAh | 820mAh |
| Display | 5.68" curved, zodiac theme | 3D curved |
| Coils | Dual Mesh | Dual Mesh + VPU |
| Airflow | Manual adjustable | AI + Manual |
| Price | $20 | $18 |
The Meloso 30K wins on capacity and screen size. The Pulse X 25K has VPU coil tech and AI-assisted airflow. Pick based on what matters more: maximum puffs or advanced features.
Geek Bar Meloso 30K Pros and Cons
Expanded Pros Analysis
30,000 Puffs: Highest capacity in Geek Bar's lineup. That's 4-6 weeks for most users, which makes the $20 price easier to justify.
5.68-Inch Curved Display: Biggest screen on any disposable. Battery percentage, e-liquid level, and zodiac animations all on one display.
Dual Mesh Coils: Flavor stayed consistent through 28,000+ puffs in our testing. No degradation.
Adjustable Airflow: Tight MTL to loose DTL, your choice. Most high-capacity disposables don't offer this.
USB-C Fast Charging: 45 minutes to full. Quick top-ups when you need them.
Expanded Cons Analysis
Large Size: Not a discreet device. You'll need a bag or large pocket.
$20 Price Tag: More than basic disposables upfront, though cost per puff is actually competitive.
Zodiac Theme: Love it or hate it. The astrological design isn't subtle.
Display Battery Drain: That big screen uses more power, so you'll charge more often than with smaller-display disposables.
Who Should Buy the Geek Bar Meloso 30K?
Good fit for:
- Heavy vapers who don't want to replace devices constantly
- People who like the zodiac look and want something different
- Vapers who want airflow control on a disposable
- Anyone doing the math on cost per puff
Look elsewhere if:
- You need something pocketable. This one's too big.
- You want minimalist design. The zodiac theme is in your face.
- You're tight on cash upfront. Cheaper options exist.
- You want AI features. The Pulse X has more tech.
Final Verdict
The Meloso 30K is a statement piece. 30,000 puffs, the biggest display on any disposable, and zodiac graphics that make it impossible to confuse with anything else.
Performance backs up the looks. Dual mesh coils kept flavor consistent through weeks of testing. Adjustable airflow gives you options. Regular and Boost modes let you trade longevity for intensity when you want it.
It's not for everyone. The size rules out pocket carry, and the zodiac theme is polarizing. But if you want a high-capacity disposable that stands out, this one delivers.
