If you’re a fan of vapes with minty flavor profiles, you’re going to love the new series of Mintz flavors for the Geek Bar Pulse because it’s designed specifically for people just like you. Geek Bar already had more mint flavors available than just about any other brand, and the Mintz series expands the selection even more. The blackberry-tinged Black Mintz is one of the most popular flavors in the series, and we think you’re really going to enjoy the Black Mintz Geek Bar Pulse if you haven’t had a chance to try it yet.
Should you grab the Geek Bar Black Mintz flavor the next time you stock up? In this guide, you’re going to learn:
- Exactly what the Black Mintz flavor profile tastes like, broken down to its individual flavor notes.
- What other Geek Bar flavors you’ll probably also like if you’re a fan of Black Mintz.
- What flavors from other brands you should try if you’re looking for something similar to Black Mintz and are curious about other disposable vapes.
Let’s jump in.
What Does the Black Mintz Geek Bar Flavor Taste Like?
The big thing that differentiates Black Mintz from most other fruit-and-ice flavors is the fact that it’s a lot more mint forward, while the sweetness and fruitiness play more in the background. If you’ve ever tried a Miami Mint vape, for instance – which is a flavor profile that Geek Bar invented – you have a good idea of what this type of flavor tastes like. So, how exactly does the Black Mintz flavor break down? Here are the two main flavor notes.
- Mint: The main note in the Black Mintz flavor is a smooth, crisp mint base with a fairly generous dose of menthol. Black Mintz has a good amount of coolness since it’s a mint/menthol flavor first and a fruit flavor second.
- Blackberry: Blackberry is the secondary note in Black Mintz. It’s a candy-like note with a good balance of sweet and tart, and the sweetness never becomes overbearing since it’s the secondary player after the mint.
Like we said above, you’ll probably enjoy Black Mintz if you’re looking for something that presents the mint first and the fruit second. If you buy almost any Geek Bar flavor with “Mint” or “Mintz” in the name, you can be confident that you’ll get that type of flavor profile.
If you like things a bit sweeter, on the other hand, that’s what you’ll typically get if you buy a Geek Bar flavor with a name like “(Fruit) Ice” or “Frozen (Fruit).”
If You Like Black Mintz, You May Also Like…
Geek Bar pretty much invented the idea of the modern mint-and-fruit flavor profile with the Miami Mint Geek Bar Pulse. If you like Black Mintz, it’s almost mandatory that you need to give Miami Mint a try. It’s another mint-first flavor with some nice, complex mixed citrus notes playing in the background.
If that flavor is already part of your rotation, here are some other offerings that you should try if you enjoy the Black Mintz Geek Bar flavor.
- Orange Mint Geek Bar Pulse X: The combination of mint and orange is a little controversial in some circles. When it tastes as good as this, though, we say “bring it on.” The Orange Mint Geek Bar Pulse X tastes a little like a popular orange-flavored mint that comes in a clear plastic box and is available in just about every supermarket checkout lane.
- Stone Mintz Geek Bar Pulse: The Stone Mintz flavor is another offering in the Mintz series, but it’s actually quite different from Black Mintz in that it doesn’t include a fruity note at all. Instead, it’s a variation on a traditional mint vape that presents an earthier and more natural version of mint rather than the more straightforward mint/menthol blend that’s used in most menthol vapes. This is a flavor that’s guaranteed to inspire discussion among anyone who enjoys mint/menthol blends.
- Sour Apple Ice Geek Bar Pulse: Sour Apple Ice is a bit different from Black Mintz in that the fruity note actually takes top billing over the mint note. You’ll hardly notice, though, because Sour Apple Ice is one of the coldest flavors – not to mention one of the tartest – that Geek Bar makes. Sour Apple Ice has a perfect “green apple hard candy” flavor, and the strong menthol finish only makes the experience better.
- Cool Mint Geek Bar Pulse: If you want to experience Geek Bar’s mint flavor on its own, Cool Mint is your opportunity. It’s an ultra-smooth mint-menthol blend with plenty of coolness, and it’s also one of the few Geek Bar flavors that isn’t sweet at all. Cool Mint is great if you don’t enjoy sweet vapes, and it’s also nice as a change of pace when you’re tired of stronger flavor profiles and want something a little more neutral and laid back.
- Cola Slush Geek Bar Pulse X: Cola Slush is pretty far afield from some of the other flavors that we’ve discussed in this guide, but we need to mention it anyway because it has a certain crisp, refreshing aspect that scratches the same type of itch and keeps us coming back. It tastes exactly like a frozen cola, which is quite an accomplishment considering the obvious difficulty that most vape brands have when it comes to creating realistic cola flavors.
What Vapes from Other Brands Taste like Black Mintz?
Geek Bar may have started the mint-and-fruit trend that’s taken over the vaping world, but plenty of other brands are releasing flavors in that category as well – so you’ve got plenty of options if you like the Stone Mintz flavor and are interested in trying devices from other companies. Here’s a list of flavors you should try if you want to sample some different hardware platforms with their own unique sets of features.
- Black Mint Lost Mary MT35000 Turbo: If you’re a fan of the Black Mintz flavor profile, you’ll be glad to know that you can experience new devices and new features without going too far afield from the flavor that you love. Lost Mary’s Black Mint flavor tastes very similar, and it comes in one of the most attractive vapes we’ve ever seen. The Lost Mary MT35000 Turbo has a clever “invisible” screen that turns off and fades into the device’s finish when you aren’t vaping.
- Black Mint Horizontech 100K: How would you like to experience the deliciousness of Black Mintz in a vape that lasts over twice as long as a Geek Bar Pulse but costs about the same? That’s what you’ll get with the Horizontech 100K, which comes with a massive 40 ml of vape juice – more than double what comes in the Geek Bar Pulse – and lasts up to 100,000 puffs. It’s the longest-lasting disposable vape that you can buy today.
- Miami Mint Juice Head Flex Freeze: Black Mintz is a delicious flavor profile, but there’s an argument to be made that Miami Mint vapes are even more popular. Although Geek Bar invented the Miami Mint flavor profile, Juice Head’s version might be even better because it actually gives you the ability to change the ice level on demand. You won’t get that with any Geek Bar.
- Frozen Lemon Foger Switch Pro: Speaking of features that you won’t get with a Geek Bar, the Foger Switch Pro is a revolutionary device that comes in two parts. The kit includes a disposable pod and a reusable charging dock. The pod has a small battery and works on its own, or you can connect it to the dock for extended battery life. Whatever your preferred configuration is, the best part is that you only need to buy the kit once. In the future, you’ll keep the dock and just buy new pods.
