In June 2025, after months of legislative debate, Texas lawmakers passed the final version of SB 2024, a bill set to reshape the state's vape market. Commonly referred to as the 2025 Texas vape ban, this law targets pre-filled disposable vapes containing Chinese-manufactured e-liquid.

With the bill now awaiting the governor's signature, many Texas vapers are asking: Will Geek Bar be banned? In this post, we break down what's in the bill, how it impacts products like Geek Bar Pulse X, and which vape products will still be legal to buy in Texas.

What Is the 2025 Texas Vape Law (SB 2024)?

The Senate Bill 2024 is a new vaping regulation aimed to restrict youth access to flavored disposables, which are often imported fully manufactured and filled from China. It passed by both Texas Senate and House by early June 2025 and is now awaiting Governor Abbot's signature, will ban only pre-filled disposable vapes containing Chinese-manufactured e-liquid. Refillable systems and devices filled in U.S. factories—like FDA-approved puff devices—are unaffected. Here's what the law does:

• It bans pre-filled disposable vapes that contain Chinese-manufactured e-liquid.
• It still allows refillable devices (mods, vape pens, pod systems) to be sold.
• It allows devices manufactured in China but filled with U.S.-made e-liquid to remain legal.
• It prohibits packaging that appeals to children or mimics everyday objects.
• It bans devices containing cannabinoids or substances like kratom.

Will Geek Bar Be Banned in Texas?

Yes — but it depends on the product line. Geek Bar currently offers several popular disposable vape models that are fully manufactured and pre-filled in China, including Geek Bar Pulse, Pulse X, Geek Bar Skyview, and Geek Bar Meloso Max. These devices are known for their large puff counts, dual mesh coils, and bold flavor profiles.

However, because they arrive in the U.S. as pre-filled units using Chinese-made e-liquid, they fall squarely within the restrictions of Texas Senate Bill 2024 and will no longer be legal to sell in Texas once the law goes into effect. This includes both in-store and in-state online orders.

When Will The Law Take Effect?

As of June 2025, the bill has passed both chambers, and now It is awaiting the governor's signature. Here is the timeline and enforcement:

• April 23, 2025: Senate passes the original version of SB 2024 banning “China-made” devices. 
• May 28, 2025: House expands the ban to cover any product containing Chinese-made parts.
• June 1–2, 2025: Conference committee reconciles both versions; final compromise narrowly focuses on pre-filled e-liquid origin.
• Early June 2025: Bill sent to Governor Abbott.
• September 1, 2025: Scheduled effective date—assuming Abbott signs it into law.

What Should I Do If the Geek Bar Be Banned?

If you're a Texas customer who depends on Geek Bar for your daily vape, this may feel like a big disruption. But you're not alone - and you do have options. Here’s what you can do to stay ahead of the change:

1. Stock Up Before the Ban Takes Effect

Texas SB 2024 will officially go into effect on September 1, 2025, which means you still have time to purchase your favorite Geek Bar disposables while they're still legal to ship and sell in Texas.

If you're a fan of devices like Geek Bar Pulse X, Skyview, or Meloso Max, here's the good news: EightVape is currently running a Geek Bar bundle deal to help you save while you stock up:

• 🎉 Buy 5, Get 15% Off
• 🎉 Buy 10, Get 20% Off

It's the perfect time to stockpile your favorite flavors, try limited-edition variants, or share a bundle with friends — all while saving more.

2. Pick Up from a Nearby State

If you're near the Texas border or planning to travel, buying out-of-state may be an option.

For example, many California customers — where disposable vapes are also restricted — now drive to our Las Vegas warehouse to pick up their favorite vapes. Since our EightVape fulfillment center is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's perfectly legal to purchase online and arrange a local pickup there.

Tips: You can order online and select warehouse pickup at checkout if you’re planning a trip to Vegas or passing through nearby states where laws are more vape-friendly.
