Geek Bar SkyView 25K Review (2026)

The SkyView 25K feels built for people who like feedback. In our testing, the screen was genuinely useful, the mode changes were easy to notice, and flavor stayed more consistent than I expected. The trade-off is size: it feels chunky in a pocket, and Pulse can push sweet flavors a little too hard during chain use.

• Who It’s For

  • Adults who want long, steady all-day use with visible battery and e-liquid levels

  • Users who actually switch power levels instead of leaving a device in one setting

  • People who prefer fuller flavor and denser vapor with adjustable airflow

• Who It’s Not For

  • Anyone who wants a slim jeans-pocket carry

  • Anyone sensitive to warm vapor or a sharper throat hit at higher output

  • Strict MTL users who want a very tight cigarette-style draw

We rotated one unit through commutes, desk breaks, and evening sessions as part of our usual vape testing process, repeating the same flavors across Soft, Norm, and Pulse so we could isolate changes in flavor, throat hit, warmth, and vapor density. During hands-on testing, we tracked the screen’s battery and e-liquid readings, watched for heat buildup during back-to-back pulls, and timed charging from low battery to ready-to-use.

Marcus handled longer stress sessions to check for overheating and flavor drop. Jamal focused on pocket carry, quick pulls, and day-to-day durability. We scored flavor, throat hit, vapor production, airflow/draw, battery life, leak resistance, build quality, ease of use, and portability.

The screen changed how I used this device right away. Instead of guessing when it was getting low, I could take shorter sessions and stop before the flavor flattened out. Norm ended up being the sweet spot in our testing: full flavor, good balance, and enough warmth to feel satisfying without turning syrupy. Pulse delivered the biggest jump in output, but sweet profiles lost some definition if I hit it back to back. Soft was the setting I kept going back to during work breaks because it stayed cooler and easier to live with.

Charging held up well in real use. Our unit climbed to about 80% in roughly 22 minutes and reached full charge in about 48 minutes. Battery life landed around one to two days, depending on mode, airflow, and how hard we leaned on Pulse.

• What we liked

  • Flavor stayed steady deeper into the tank than most high-puff disposables we test

  • The screen cut down on guesswork and made pacing easier

  • Soft, Norm, and Pulse felt meaningfully different instead of cosmetic

• Who it is best for

  • Adults who vape through the day and want predictable performance

  • Users who want calmer pulls at work and stronger output later

  • Anyone tired of a disposable dying with little warning

• Where it falls short

  • It is bulky in tighter pockets

  • Pulse gets warm and harsher during chain use

  • The draw never gets truly cigarette-tight

• Price we saw: $21.49–$22.99

• Device type: Draw-activated disposable with adjustable airflow

• Nicotine strength: 5% (50 mg)

• E-liquid capacity: 16 mL

• Battery: 800 mAh rechargeable

• Charging in our testing: USB-C; ~80% in ~22 minutes, full in ~48 minutes

• Modes and output: Soft (12W), Norm (18W), Pulse (25W)

• Screen and size: 1.8-inch TFT display; 51.6 mm × 29.2 mm × 95.9 mm

Pick the SkyView 25K if you want a disposable that feels controlled: you like seeing battery and e-liquid status, you want adjustable airflow, and you plan to use more than one power setting. If warm vapor wears you out, keep Pulse as a short-burst mode and spend most of your time in Soft or Norm. If you care more about a smaller carry or a tighter MTL pull, a slimmer, lower-output device may suit you better. For a more compact two-mode option with a smaller display, Lost Mary MT15000 Turbo is a good fit. For another high-puff device with a display and mode options, RAZ DC25000 / LTX 25K is the closer match.

The SkyView 25K’s strengths come with trade-offs, and they show up most clearly in pocket carry and high-power habits.

• Bulkier than many disposables, especially in front pockets

• Pulse can feel warm and rough if you chain-puff sweet flavors

• The draw range is versatile, but it does not deliver an ultra-tight, cigarette-style pull

• Why choose these models

  • You want a large screen that is actually useful

  • You want clear power steps that change warmth and intensity

  • You want a high-puff disposable that stays readable and predictable through long days

• Alternatives to consider

  • Lost Mary MT15000 Turbo: smaller body, two modes, and a discreet battery/e-liquid display

  • RAZ DC25000 / LTX 25K: another high-puff option with a screen and dual-mode behavior

  • Fifty Bar 20K: a 20K-format option with adjustable airflow and a battery display

• Start in Norm, then move to Soft for longer sessions and Pulse for shorter, stronger pulls

• If Pulse starts tasting too sweet or sharp, stop for a minute; heat builds fast during chain use

• Keep the airflow around half open for the best balance of throat hit and vapor

• Wipe the mouthpiece once or twice a day if you carry it constantly

• Do not leave it in a hot car or direct sun

• Use a standard USB-C charger and back off if the device warms up too much

• Watch the e-liquid meter and stop pushing it when it gets very low

• If flavor drops off, switch down a mode and shorten your pulls

• Keep it upright in a bag when you can
