Redefining Customization and Sustainability

The Sugar Cube modular vape, designed with user-friendliness and environmental consciousness in mind, uses a magnetic assembly system to enable multifunctional expansion. This provides users with a customizable vaping experience while promoting sustainability. Its modular construction supports features like information display and audio-visual interaction, giving users the option to exchange components to suit their preferences. The replaceable pod module extends the product’s life and reduces waste, adhering to principles of eco-sustainability.

Addressing the modern consumer’s need for portability and personalization, the Sugar Cube vape can be broken down into small, separate blocks for convenient carrying. Users can also customize the color of each module, promoting self-expression and creating a personal connection with the product. Its sleek, contemporary design, combined with vibrant colors and textures, aligns with current aesthetic trends, making it more than just a vaping device, but a fashion statement.

The device features several functional modules, including a screen, sound, and touch buttons. For example, the screen module shows key information such as battery life and e-liquid levels, and also provides dynamic effects based on user activity, adding an element of enjoyment. Thanks to the magnetic connection, users can easily remove modules and even use them as fidget toys to relieve stress. By integrating modularity, interactive features, and sustainability, this vape enhances usability while promoting responsible consumption. The ability to replace only the pod module minimizes waste, prolonging the product’s lifespan and supporting environmental protection.

: A Sustainable Approach to Disposable Vaping

The Minimore vape is an eco-friendly disposable vaping device that combines natural materials with an innovative modular design, providing a safe, convenient user experience while minimizing environmental impact. The product’s design prioritizes sustainability by using cork material harvested from cork oak trees. This material undergoes composite treatment with resin to ensure its durability and safety. The modular design further improves sustainability by allowing users to easily disassemble components for recycling, thereby reducing electronic waste.

Traditional disposable vapes contribute to environmental issues due to the difficulty of battery recycling and the excessive use of plastic. To combat these issues, the Minimore vape uses a modular structure that simplifies disassembly. After use, the pod, battery, and electronic components can be separated for proper recycling, greatly reducing electronic waste.

Balancing portability and aesthetics, the device features a cork-based shell with a warm, natural feel. Its rounded edges improve grip comfort, while its compact size—smaller than an AirPods case—ensures effortless portability. The shell, made from a cork and resin composite, offers both flexibility and durability. Furthermore, a nano-coating treatment prevents water damage and inhibits bacterial growth, ensuring safe use in various environments while extending product life.

Unlike traditional plastics, the cork material is harvested without cutting down trees, lessening environmental impact while giving the product a unique organic feel. The modular design effectively addresses waste management concerns associated with disposable vapes. After use, users can simply remove a paper strip to separate the components for recycling, encouraging resource reuse and minimizing the long-term environmental burden of electronic waste. The printing process uses soy-based ink, which is biodegradable and free of harmful chemicals, further supporting sustainability.

By adopting a cradle-to-grave sustainable approach, the Minimore vape redefines disposable vaping with its environmentally conscious design. Its modularity not only improves recyclability but also reduces the industry’s overall carbon footprint, setting a new benchmark for green vaping products.

Pioneering the Future of Vaping Design

Winning the 2025 iF DESIGN AWARD is global recognition of Geek Bar’s dedication to innovative and sustainable product development. Both the Sugar Cube modular vape and the Minimore vape demonstrate the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of design, technology, and environmental responsibility.

Geek Bar will continue to lead the industry with groundbreaking advancements, delivering state-of-the-art products that improve user experiences while promoting a more sustainable future for vaping.
