In the rapidly evolving world of disposable vapes, the Geek Bar Ria NV30K stands out as a bold and feature-rich offering for 2025. Promising up to 30,000 puffs, dual vaping modes, a premium build and updated display, it aims to redefine what a “disposable” device can deliver. Below we dive into its key features, how it performs, and how it compares with its siblings like the Geek Bar Pulse X Slush Edition and the standard Geek Bar Pulse X Edition.

 

 

Design & Build Quality

The Ria NV30K immediately catches the eye with its premium leather-style grip, soft-touch materials and a large 3D curved screen that displays puff count, battery status and more. The feel is substantially more upscale than many disposables. According to reviews, its ergonomics and build feel “money well spent”. 

Moreover, it features adjustable airflow (via a side slider) and a switch between two modes: Regular and Pulse. These are features more commonly found in refillable devices, so the inclusion here is noteworthy.

 

 

Performance & Features

Puff Count & Battery – The Ria NV30K claims up to 30,000 puffs in Regular mode, or around 15,000 puffs in Pulse mode. Its rechargeable battery is rated at 1000 mAh and uses USB-C charging. 

Power Output & Coil Technology – The device reportedly hits up to 35 W output, uses dual mesh coils, and supports both mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL) style draws thanks to the adjustable airflow. Reviewers highlight that flavour remains consistent and smooth from start to finish. Screen & Interface – The curved screen not only displays usage data but incorporates “aurora light effects” as a design flourish. 

In short: the Ria NV30K positions itself as a high-end disposable with some of the customisability and feel of a traditional device.

 

 

Flavour & Experience

Users report that the Ria NV30K delivers strong flavour and dense vapour, especially in Pulse mode. The draw is described as smooth and comfortable rather than harsh or overly aggressive. One user comment:

“Smooth, consistent, and full of flavor. The mesh coil really enhances the taste—highly recommended!” 

However, with great performance often comes greater expectations: some note the device is bulkier than simpler devices due to its battery and screen—so portability might be a trade-off. 

 

 

How it Compares: Pulse X & Pulse X Slush Edition

  • The Pulse X Edition is an earlier model that introduced a larger screen, dual-coil mode and star-light visuals. It supports up to ~25,000 puffs in regular mode.

  • The Pulse X Slush Edition builds on that with slush-style flavours, an 820 mAh battery, and up to ~25,000 puffs (or 15,000 in ‘Pulse’ mode) with 18 ml e-juice capacity.

In comparison, the Ria NV30K steps up the battery (1000 mAh), puff capacity (30,000), and introduces refined ergonomics and build quality. Many reviewers place it above the older Pulse X models in terms of all-round performance and feel. 

 

 

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional puff count and longevity for a disposable.

  • High-quality build and premium feel.

  • Adjustable airflow + dual mode (Regular vs Pulse) offers flexibility.

  • Large, informative screen.

  • Strong flavour and smooth draw.

Cons

  • Slightly bulkier than minimalist disposables—may not suit ultra-compact preferences.

  • Higher cost implied by premium features (though exact pricing isn’t always clear).

  • Some users still question whether the stated puff counts translate to real-world usage.

 

 

Verdict

For 2025, the Ria NV30K raises the bar in the disposable category. If you’re seeking a disposable vape with high performance, extended life, rich flavour and a premium feel—this device delivers. Compared with the Pulse X Edition and Pulse X Slush Edition, the Ria NV30K offers meaningful upgrades in battery, puff count and build quality.

If you prioritise compactness over performance, or want simpler functionality, one of the earlier models might suffice. But if you want “next-level” disposable vaping, the Ria NV30K is a strong contender.
