Key Differences
Capacity & E-Liquid: NERA Wins
The NERA delivers 70K puffs from 24mL across two pods versus the Clio's 50K from 16mL. That's 40% more puffs and 50% more e-liquid. The NERA's starter kit also includes two pods with different flavors, while the Clio ships with one. For pure longevity and variety out of the box, the NERA leads.
Battery & Features: Clio Wins
The Clio Platinum's 1400mAh total battery (900 in the device + 500 in the pod) dwarfs the NERA's 800mAh. The pod's built-in 500mAh battery means you can vape the pod standalone without the dock — something the NERA can't do. The Clio also offers three power modes (Regular/Pulse/Super Pulse), adjustable airflow, and a dual-screen system with 3D animations. In terms of features per dollar, the Clio is arguably the most advanced disposable-hybrid on the market.
Display: Clio's Dual Screen vs NERA's Simplicity
The Clio Platinum's 360° dual screen (one on the device, one on the pod) is visually stunning and functionally superior — it shows everything the NERA does plus puff counter, mode selection, and animated graphics. The NERA's 3D curved screen is clean and effective but simpler. If you value display technology, the Clio is the clear winner.
Value: NERA Wins on Cost Per Puff
Despite the Clio's lower kit price ($23.99 vs $27.99), the NERA delivers better value per puff: $0.40/1K vs the Clio's $0.48/1K. On replacement pods, the NERA's 2-pack ($12–15 for 70K puffs) beats the Clio's single pod ($14.99 for 50K puffs). Over time, the NERA's cost advantage compounds significantly.
Our Verdict
NERA Fullview 70K
Best for: capacity, value, dual-flavor starter kit
Geek Bar Clio Platinum
Best for: battery, features, display, airflow control
This is a close one — both are excellent devices. The NERA 70K wins on the fundamentals: more capacity, better per-puff value, and a dual-pod starter kit. The Clio Platinum wins on features: bigger battery, adjustable airflow, three power modes, and a jaw-dropping dual display. If you prioritize longevity and savings, choose the NERA. If you want the most feature-packed pod system available, choose the Clio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Geek Bar Clio pod without the battery dock?
Yes — the Clio pod has a built-in 500mAh battery and can be used standalone. The NERA pods don't have batteries and require the dock to function. This gives the Clio an advantage for portability and as a backup when the main battery is charging.
Which device has better flavor?
Both use dual mesh coils and deliver excellent flavor. The Clio's VPU-powered coil system and adjustable airflow give it a slight edge in flavor customization. The NERA's strength is consistency — its transparent tank and simple dual-mode design deliver reliable, predictable flavor every time.
Which is better for heavy vapers?
The NERA 70K — its 70K total puffs and affordable replacement pods make it the most cost-effective choice for high-volume use. The Clio's 50K puffs are impressive, but the NERA's 40% capacity advantage and lower refill costs save heavy vapers $20–30 per month.
