The Geek Bar Clio Platinum is not a disposable vape. I know it looks like one. I know it's marketed alongside them. But the moment you pull the pod off the battery base and snap a new flavor in, you realize Geek Bar has built something different: a detachable kit that combines the zero-maintenance appeal of a disposable with the pod-swapping flexibility of a refillable system. Up to 50,000 puffs, three power modes, a dual-battery architecture totaling 1,400mAh, and a transparent 360° screen — this is Geek Bar's most ambitious product to date.
The Clio Platinum redefines what a disposable can be. The magnetic pod system is genuinely well-engineered — it clicks into place securely, detaches cleanly, and means you're only replacing the consumable part. Three power modes give you real control over the flavor-to-longevity tradeoff. The dual-battery system keeps performance consistent across a 3-day charge cycle. The only caveat: with just 10 launch flavors, your selection is limited compared to the wider Geek Bar lineup. But CLIO series pods are designed for expansion, and more flavors are coming.
The Modular Design — How It Works
The Clio is a two-piece system:
900mAh primary battery. Houses the main circuitry, display, and USB-C charging port. You keep this. It's the "permanent" part of the system — designed to last through multiple pod changes.
16ml pre-filled pod with an integrated 500mAh secondary battery. Transparent design so you can see the liquid level. When empty, detach and snap in a new one. The pod's own battery means the base doesn't shoulder the entire power load.
The magnetic connection is strong — it aligns automatically and clicks into place without looking. During testing, the pod stayed secure in pockets, bags, and even a couple of accidental drops. There's no wobble, no looseness. Detaching requires deliberate force.
This dual-battery architecture (900mAh base + 500mAh pod = 1,400mAh total) is the engineering innovation that makes the 50K puff claim plausible. When one battery depletes, the system draws from the other. In practice, a full charge on the base lasts roughly 2-3 days of moderate use before needing USB-C.

Three Power Modes Explained
Maximum efficiency. Smooth, standard draw. This is where the headline puff count lives. Best for all-day use.
Higher wattage, warmer vapor, fuller flavor. The everyday sweet spot — noticeable upgrade without burning through liquid too fast.
Maximum wattage. Intense vapor production, maximum flavor. Burns through liquid fast — save this for moments when you want the full experience.
The flexibility here is the selling point. Unlike the CLR or Pulse X where you toggle between two modes, the Clio gives you a genuine spectrum from efficiency to intensity. Most users will live in Pulse Mode for daily use, save Super Pulse for after meals or social situations, and switch to Regular when they want to stretch a pod's lifespan.
All 10 Clio Platinum Flavors
The Clio launches with 10 flavors — a tight selection that leans heavily on proven Geek Bar profiles. Since the base accepts all CLIO Series pods, expect this list to expand.
- Blue Razz Ice — blue raspberry candy + menthol, top 3 Geek Bar flavor
- Cool Mint — smooth peppermint, less intense than Miami Mint
- Triple Berry Ice — strawberry/blueberry/raspberry + clean ice finish
- Code Red — Clio exclusive, cherry-citrus candy, bold and sweet
- Fcuking FAB — the mystery flavor, sweet-tart-icy simultaneously
- Strawberry B-Burst — concentrated strawberry candy, intense sweetness
- Meta Moon — strawberry-banana smoothie with cotton candy finish
- Dragonfruit Lemonade — pitaya + tart lemon, light and refreshing
- Watermelon Ice — classic watermelon + menthol combo
- Sour Apple Ice — green apple tartness with icy exhale
Code Red is the flavor to watch. It's a Clio exclusive — a cherry-citrus candy profile that testers have compared to a certain popular soda. In Super Pulse mode, the sweetness pushes forward aggressively; in Regular, it's a mellow cherry sip. The mode you choose genuinely changes the flavor experience, which is exactly what a three-mode system should do.
