Geek Bar Pulse X 25K Grapefruit Refresher Review: A Zesty Citrus Bomb?

Grapefruit is often a polarizing flavor in the vaping world. It can be too bitter, too harsh, or just taste like cleaning supplies. However, the Geek Bar Pulse X 25K Grapefruit Refresher aims to change that narrative.

Promising a blend of zesty pink grapefruit with a sweet candy finish, this flavor has surprised even the harshest critics. Is it the ultimate palate cleanser you've been looking for? We analyzed 3 hands-on reviews to find out.

1. The Taste Test: "Wait, I actually like this?"

The most common reaction to this flavor is pure surprise. Reviewer Laced Up Vapes openly stated he dislikes grapefruit, expecting it to be "tardy and nasty." His verdict? He gave it an 8.2/10.

• The Inhale (Authentic Citrus): It starts with a true-to-form Grapefruit note. You get that zesty, slightly bitter kick that mimics biting into a real pink grapefruit.
• The Exhale (The Sweet Twist): As the vapor settles, the bitterness dissipates, replaced by a sweet, candy-like aftertaste. It's described as a "sweet candy grapefruit" that dances on the tongue.
• The Balance: Bren's Vape House notes that it has the "perfect amount of sweetness to balance out the amount of sour," making it incredibly vapeable all day.

2. Performance: A Refreshing Break

The Grapefruit Refresher lives up to its name. It acts as a palate cleanser.

• Ice Level: Unlike many "Ice" flavors that freeze your brain, this is rated around a 2/5 or 3/5 on the coolness scale. It's refreshing, not painful.
• Pulse Mode: When switched to Pulse Mode (20W), the citrus notes pop even harder. The warmth amplifies the "candy" aspect of the flavor, making it taste more like a grapefruit soda.

Verdict: A Hidden Gem

If you usually skip grapefruit flavors, you might want to reconsider. The Grapefruit Refresher is sophisticated, layered, and surprisingly sweet on the finish. It's perfect for vapers who are tired of the standard Watermelon or Blue Razz and want something that wakes up their senses.

Pros: Unique flavor profile, not too icy, great "All-Day Vape" potential.

Cons: Initial hit might be startling if you aren't expecting the zest.
