How to Use the Geek Bar Mate 60K: Pulse Mode, Super Pulse & Power Off

The Geek Bar Mate 60K is Geek Bar’s kit-and-pod system: a reusable 900mAh battery base with a screen and one button, plus swappable 15mL pre-filled pods. It works differently from a one-piece disposable, so this guide walks through how to use the Geek Bar Mate 60K step by step, how to switch Pulse Mode on and off, what is true about Super Pulse, and how to power the device down.

What Comes With the Geek Bar Mate 60K Kit

• Mate 60K kit: one reusable 900mAh battery base plus one pre-filled pod in the flavor you choose.
• Mate 60K pod: the pod only, for anyone who already owns a base.
• Not included: a USB-C charging cable. Any standard USB Type-C cable works.

How to Use the Geek Bar Mate Kit: Step by Step

Here is how to use Geek Bar Mate 60K kits from the first charge to the first pod swap. The same steps apply when you add a new pod to a base you already own.

1. Charge the base first. Plug a USB-C cable into the port on the battery base for 15 to 20 minutes before first use. The battery indicator on the screen animates while charging.
2. Unwrap the pod. Remove the pod from its packaging along with any protective cap or sticker on the mouthpiece or contacts.
3. Attach the pod. Line the pod up with the top of the base and press it down. You will feel the magnets pull it into place, and the screen lights up to confirm a good connection.
4. Check the mode. The screen shows R for Regular Mode or P for Pulse Mode. Start in Regular for the smoothest draw and longest pod life.
5. Inhale gently. There is no fire button. The Geek Bar Mate 60K is draw-activated, so a steady 2–3 second mouth-to-lung draw starts vapor production.
6. Watch your levels. The screen reports battery level, and the transparent pod shows how much e-liquid is left.
7. Swap the pod when it runs dry. When vapor thins and you can see the pod is empty, pull it off and snap on a new one. The base keeps going.

How to Switch to Pulse Mode on the Geek Bar Mate 60K

The Mate 60K has two official modes, and you change them with the single button on the side of the battery base.

1. Find the small button on the side of the base. It is the only button on the device.
2. Press and hold it for about two seconds. A quick tap only wakes the screen.
3. Release when the screen changes from R to P. You are now in Pulse Mode.

Some older articles, including retailer listings, call Pulse “Boost Mode”. It is the same higher-output setting. For how the feature works across Geek Bar’s other devices, see our Geek Bar Pulse Mode explainer.

How Do You Turn Off Pulse Mode on the Geek Bar Mate Kit?

Repeat the same step: press and hold the side button for about two seconds until the screen switches from P back to R. That returns the Mate 60K to Regular Mode, restores the 60,000-puff rating and slows battery drain. If nothing changes, the base may be too low to switch; charge it for 15 minutes and try again.

Turning off Pulse Mode is also the first fix if your base empties faster than expected. Our Geek Bar Mate 60K battery guide covers the other causes of fast drain.

Does the Geek Bar Mate 60K Have Super Pulse Mode?

Not officially. Geek Bar lists the Mate 60K with two modes, Regular and Pulse, and so do the official spec sheets retailers use. Super Pulse is a third, higher-output mode on the Geek Bar Clio Platinum 50K, which is rated at 50,000 puffs Regular, 25,000 Pulse and 20,000 Super Pulse.

Mate owners do report seeing a Super Pulse option. The common reports are that it appears briefly when the button is pressed while drawing in Pulse Mode, that it drops back to Pulse on its own, and that it shows up with some Geek Bar pods but not with other brands’ pods. Those reports are inconsistent from unit to unit, so treat Super Pulse on the Mate as unsupported behavior rather than a feature you can count on. If a guaranteed three-mode device matters to you, the Clio Platinum 50K is the Geek Bar kit built for it.

How to Turn Off the Geek Bar Mate 60K

The Mate 60K has no power button and no documented lock. It sleeps between draws and wakes when you inhale. To make it inert for travel, storage or a bag:

1. Pull the pod straight off the base. The magnets release without twisting.
2. Store the pod upright and the base separately.
3. Reattach the pod when you are ready to vape again.

Some retailer guides describe a five-press shutdown. Geek Bar does not document one for the Mate 60K and owner results are mixed, so detaching the pod is the reliable way to turn the Geek Bar Mate off. If the screen stays lit or the device feels warm without a draw, remove the pod and see our Geek Bar Mate 60K troubleshooting guide.

Reading the Geek Bar Mate 60K Screen

The Dynamic Galaxy UI display on the base shows:

• Battery level of the 900mAh base.
• Active mode: R for Regular, P for Pulse.
• Puff count tracking.
• Charging status: the battery indicator animates while plugged in and settles when full.

A blank screen usually means the base is flat or the pod is not seated. Charge for 15 to 20 minutes, then reattach the pod. E-liquid level is read through the clear pod body rather than on the screen.

How to Swap Geek Bar Mate 60K Pods

Pull the pod straight up off the base, then press a new pod on until it clicks into place. You can swap mid-pod to change flavors; the removed pod keeps its e-liquid and works again when you reattach it. Store partly used pods upright and out of direct sun. All 17 Geek Bar Mate 60K pods fit the same base, and our Mate 60K flavor ranking lists which ones are iced.

How to Use the Geek Bar Mate Pod Without the Battery

Geek Bar designed the Mate pod to work “with or without the device”. Each pod has a built-in 200mAh cell, so you can take a few draws from the pod alone while the base charges. That reserve is small and the pod has no charging port, so plan on short sessions only and dock the pod again when vapor thins. A larger standalone pod battery is the main upgrade expected in the Geek Bar Mate Plus 60K.

Tips for Better Flavor and Longer Pod Life

• Use Regular Mode for everyday vaping and switch to Pulse for occasional sessions.
• Take steady 2–3 second draws and pause between puffs. Chain vaping overheats the coil and can taste burnt.
• Keep the contacts clean with a dry cotton swab so the pod seats fully.
• Charge before the base is empty. Low battery reduces output and flavor.
• Store pods upright at room temperature, away from hot cars and direct sun.
• Do not try to refill the pod. Mate pods are sealed and pre-filled.
