Geek Bar is an e-cigarette brand established in 2015 and appears to be owned by parent company Geekvape (i.e., Shenzhen Geekvape Technology Co., Ltd), who also produces RAZ vapes. Geek Bar is produced in partnership with the intellectual property owner Guangdong Qisitech Co., Ltd; Qisitech operates a large “smart” manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The most popular Geek Bar form factor adheres closely to the frequently emulated ElfBar shape; however, alternate designs are offered and Geek Bar Pulse features multiple vaping modes (power and regular).

Spree Bar is a new e-cigarette brand that uses what the company calls Metatine, “a patented non-nicotine compound that provides adult users with a strong sense of satisfaction that is largely indistinguishable from traditional vape products.” The website describes the product as not containing nicotine and not being derived from tobacco. As such, they claim to be exempt from nicotine taxes in many states and describe the product as “PMTA exempt,” implying the product does not fall under FDA’s regulatory authority.

Lost Mary is an e-cigarette brand owned by the same company/manufacturer as ElfBar (iMiracle Shenzhen is the parent company, with several potential subsidiaries and affiliates—e.g., Miga Technology Co., Ltd., Phayun Tech, and Metre-Tech). Initially, Lost Mary products appeared in UK markets, but have recently appeared with greater frequency in US domestic markets. The most popular form factor adheres closely to that of ElfBar, however, several models are offered. Early packaging for the Lost Mary products featured a “designed by ElfBar” label.
