What Does "B-Pop" Mean? Geek Bar Pulse X Flavor Explained
What Does "B-Pop" Actually Mean? Geek Bar Flavor Guide
You’re scrolling through the Geek Bar Pulse X 25K flavor list. You see standard names like Watermelon Ice or Miami Mint. But then you encounter mysterious names like Strawberry B-Pop and Blackberry B-Pop.
The name gives no clue. Is it soda? Is it popcorn? No. It is pure childhood nostalgia.
"B-Pop" is code for "Blow Pop".
It refers to the classic 90s confectionery treat featuring a Hard Fruit Candy Shell on the outside with a soft Chewy Bubblegum Center on the inside.
The Secret Code: Why "B-Pop"?
Why didn't Geek Bar just call it "Blow Pop"?
Trademark Reasons. The term "Blow Pop" is a registered trademark of the candy company (Tootsie Roll Industries). To bring you this iconic flavor profile without legal issues, vape manufacturers shorten it to "B-Pop."
But make no mistake—the flavor chemists at Geek Bar have engineered this to be an exact replica of that two-stage candy experience.
Review: The Top 2 B-Pop Flavors
Currently, the Geek Bar Pulse X lineup features two heavy hitters in this category. We tested both using the Pulse Mode (20W) setting.
1. Strawberry B-Pop
This is the crowd-pleaser. The inhale hits you with a sharp, sugary Strawberry Hard Candy note—think of the crunchy outer shell. The exhale mellows out into a distinct, creamy Pink Bubblegum finish.
2. Blackberry B-Pop
If you find strawberry too generic, this is for you. It replaces the red candy with a Deep Purple Blackberry note. It has a slight tartness/acidity on the tip of the tongue that cuts through the sweetness of the bubblegum core.
The Tech: Why Pulse X Makes Candy Taste Better
Why do B-Pop flavors taste so distinct on the Pulse X specifically?
It comes down to the Dual Mesh Coils. Candy flavors are complex layers (Candy + Gum). Single coil devices often muddle these together into a generic "sweet fruit" taste.
The Pulse X's dual core separates the heating zones, allowing the sharp "Candy Shell" high notes to hit first, followed by the warmer, smoother "Bubblegum" base notes on the exhale.
Candy flavors thrive on heat. Switching to Pulse Mode (20W) warms up the vapor, making the "hard candy" aspect taste more realistic, like it's melting in your mouth.
Comparison: B-Pop vs. Other Candy Flavors
Geek Bar has several candy-inspired options. Here is how B-Pop stacks up against the rest.
