The XROS 6 is Official + French Prisons
Brought To You By FRE Nicotine Pouches, America's Go-To Brand For Flavor & Strength GD Vape Nerds. If you thought the vape industry was chaotic before, the last two weeks just completely shattered the status quo. We have a political execution at the FDA, the first legal fruit flavors in history, and a European country treating pouch users like international smugglers. Inside today's absolute madness: FDA Head Axed: Makary is out after a White House showdown. The Flavor Break: Trump pressures...
Let's "Unpack" The VooPoo Drag 6...
Brought To You By FRE Nicotine Pouches, America's Go-To Brand For Flavor & Strength GD Vape Nerds. I've been a Drag fanboy since 2018. So when VooPoo dropped the Drag 6, I had opinions. Here's the short version: the Drag 6 is the better device. More power, newer chip, bigger screen, better looks. Easy. But VooPoo did something bold with it. Something that's going to split existing Drag owners right down the middle. They killed removable batteries. No more dual 18650s. It's a sealed 4400mAh...
Alp Pouch Drifters Range β F**K Yeah!
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. Y'all know I'm a massive fan of ALP Pouch. I talk about and reference the brand A LOT whenever I write about nicotine pouches, and the reason is simple: After testing every major pouch player on the market between 2023 and now, ALP is my favorite by a considerable margin. Well, things just got better β and a lot more flavorful... ALP Drifters Range ALP Drifters is a limited-edition line from ALP (American Loose Pouch),...
Glas G2 Vape: Is This The Future of Vaping In The USA?
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. The FDA just did something it has never done before: authorized a fruit-flavored vape for legal sale in the United States. The device is the Glas G2, and if you follow vaping news at all, you have probably seen the headlines. But the headlines are getting this story half-right at best. Here's my full take on the Glas G2 and what it means for the vaping market in the USA. Feedback is, of course, appreciated β I'd love to hear...
Best ZYN Flavors Ranked...
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. Here's a question that gets asked by a billion people online everyday: what's the best ZYN flavor? I didn't know, so I decided to find out what was the most popular and why. You can read the full report here: The Most Popular ZYN Flavors Ranked. We basically mined 40,000+ users and the results, well... weren't all that surprising. Mint for the win! Peace Drake Life's expensive, right? If you're buying any vape gear today...
$200 For THIS Vaporizer? That's Insane.
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. I've been testing a lot of vaporizers this year. A lot. And most of them fall into one of two camps: cheap and cheerful, or expensive and impressive. Very rarely does something land in that sweet spot where the build quality genuinely surprises you and the price doesn't make you wince. The AirVape Legacy Pro 2 is that device. And honestly? I wasn't expecting it. My first thought when I picked it up was "this feels like it should...
πΊπΈ Trump Wants Flavors BACK On The Market
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. We have a massive update on the federal front that could completely reshape the US vape market. Reports are coming in that President Trump is directly pressuring FDA Commissioner Martin Makary to reverse course on flavored vape bans. Here is what you need to know about this sudden shift in the Beltway: The Pressure is On: President Trump has reportedly urged the FDA to move toward approving flavored vaping products, a...
Best Foger Vape Right Now? Simple: This One...
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. Foger is massively popular right now, and after testing its two main vapes out I kind of understand the hype. Thing is, I'd probably only recommend one of them. Why? Because I don't really like throw-away technology, and the Foger Bit 35K is purely disposable. The Foger Switch Pro, meanwhile, is much more greener with its modular design. You keep the dock and buy pods for it. Is it better than a refillable pod vape? Err, no. But...
PAX is BACK With Something New
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. PAX is one of the most well known and most-used brands in the vaporizer space. I've owned all of them too β from the OG Pax right up to the PAX Four (which we'll be talking about today). Like Apple with its iPhone, PAX doesn't like to rock the boat. The PAX 2 looks like the PAX 3, and both were very similar looking to the OG Pax. Boring? Yes. But they sold like hotcakes. Familiarity is a massive driver for brand attachment. Just...
The Ultimate Stealth Weed Vape Just Dropped!
π₯ Deal = Geek Bar Pulse X 10-Pack (250,000 Puffs) GD Vape Nerds. Even if you live in a 420 State, there's still a fairly big taboo about vaping weed in public places. People still do it, of course, but the more socially conscious ones tend to opt for a stealthy vaporizer that most people wouldn't even notice. I've tried a bunch over the years from PAX to Grenco Science. I never expected Storz & Bickel to drop a vaporizer targeted at the stealth-end of the market. But here we are, the VEAZY is...
