Lost Mary covers more price points, from the budget-friendly MO20000 Pro ($13.99) to the premium NERA 70K ($27.99).
Flagship Matchup: NERA 70K vs Clio Platinum
NERA Fullview 70K vs Geek Bar Clio Platinum 50K
Both brands' bestThe NERA wins on capacity (70K vs 50K puffs), e-liquid volume (24mL vs 16mL), value per puff ($0.40 vs $0.48/1K), and includes two pods in the starter kit versus one. Its transparent tank and simple dual-mode design make it intuitive and low-maintenance.
The Clio Platinum wins on battery (1400mAh vs 800mAh), display tech (360° dual screen with 3D animations), power modes (three modes vs two), and airflow adjustment. The pod has a built-in 500mAh battery for standalone use — something the NERA can't do.
Our call: The NERA for value-focused users. The Clio for feature-focused users. Full breakdown: NERA 70K vs Geek Bar Clio — Full Comparison
Mid-Range Matchup: MT35000 Turbo vs Pulse X 25K
Lost Mary MT35000 Turbo vs Geek Bar Pulse X 25K
The everyday workhorse battleThe MT35000 Turbo has a 40% higher puff count (35K vs 25K), a larger battery (1000mAh vs 820mAh), and its "+" enhanced flavors represent a real innovation in disposable flavor chemistry. Its Smooth Mode delivers exceptional flavor consistency through the full 18mL tank.
The Pulse X 25K counters with AI-powered flavor tuning, a 3D curved screen with battery/e-liquid indicators, and 820mAh battery. The Pulse X has a more mature flavor lineup with a wider selection, and its Regular/Pulse dual-mode system is well-proven.
Our call: The MT35000 wins on capacity, battery, and "+" flavors. The Pulse X wins on AI tuning and flavor variety. For most users, the MT35000's 40% more puffs at a similar or lower price makes it the better value.
Flavor Selection
Geek Bar edges ahead on total flavor count (60+ vs Lost Mary's 50+), largely due to the Pulse 15K's extensive flavor menu. However, Lost Mary's flavor strategy is more interesting in 2026:
Lost Mary innovations: The MT35000's "+" enhanced flavors (Tigers Blood+, Scary Berry+, Pink Lemonade+) use boosted formulations for more intense profiles. The Ultrasonic 35K's Spin-to-Enhance dial lets you modify any flavor's sweetness or tartness in real time. The MO20000 Pro's wattage adjustment changes how the same flavor tastes at different power levels. Lost Mary gives you more ways to interact with flavor.
Geek Bar innovations: The Pulse X's AI-powered flavor tuning is a unique concept, using onboard chipset logic to optimize coil performance for each specific flavor. It's subtle but effective. The Clio Platinum's VPU-powered coil system delivers clean, consistent flavor across all three power modes.
Both brands share some flavor names (Blue Razz Ice, Watermelon Ice, Miami Mint) but the formulations differ — they're independent companies with separate e-liquid R&D. In blind testing, Lost Mary flavors tend to be slightly sweeter and smoother; Geek Bar flavors lean slightly icier and bolder.
Technology & Innovation
Lost Mary leads in: Ultrasonic atomization (first to mass-market this in a disposable), multi-tank flavor mixing (Ultrasonic 35K's three-tank system), transparent tank design (NERA), and adjustable wattage in a disposable format (MO20000 Pro's 13–25W range).
Geek Bar leads in: Battery capacity (Clio's 1400mAh dual-battery system), display technology (360° dual screen with 3D animations), and standalone pod functionality (Clio pod works without dock). The VPU (Vape Processing Unit) chipset is a genuine hardware innovation that optimizes coil performance at a firmware level.
Both brands are pushing the disposable category toward pod-system territory. The NERA 70K and Clio Platinum are functionally closer to refillable pod systems than traditional disposables — reusable batteries with replaceable pre-filled pods. This is the direction the entire industry is heading.
Pricing & Value
| Price Point | Lost Mary | Geek Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Budget ($14–17) | MO20000 Pro — $13.99 (20K puffs) | Pulse 15K — $16.99 (15K puffs) |

| Best Refill $/1K Puffs | NERA pods — $0.17–0.21/1K | Clio pods — ~$0.30/1K |
Lost Mary wins the value comparison at every price tier. The MO20000 Pro delivers 33% more puffs than the Pulse 15K for $3 less. The MT35000 Turbo delivers 40% more puffs than the Pulse X. And the NERA's replacement pod economics ($0.17–0.21/1K puffs) are the best in the industry across either brand.
Overall Verdict
Lost Mary wins for most users in 2026
Lost Mary offers a broader device lineup, better value at every price tier, and more innovative flavor technology (ultrasonic atomization, Spin dial, "+" formulations). The NERA 70K is the capacity and value champion, while the MO20000 Pro is the best budget option on the market.
