What a puff count can — and cannot — tell you.

A claim needs its conditions

Manufacturer puff counts depend on draw duration, mode and testing conditions. Two identical-looking figures may not use the same assumptions. Treat the number as a claim to investigate, rather than a guaranteed number of uses.

Mode changes the comparison

The GEEK BAR PULSE source page lists different counts for its regular and pulse modes. This is a useful example of why the operating mode belongs beside the headline figure.

A more useful reading checklist

• Match the exact model and regional edition.
• Look for the mode associated with the claim.
• Separate battery recharging from liquid capacity.
• Do not infer safety or suitability from a larger number.
