All three XT tiers share a screen, a Type-C rechargeable battery, a mesh coil, and 20 mg and 50 mg salt nicotine.<\/p>\n<h3>Tesla Bar XT 20000<\/h3>\n<p>Model <strong>XT-20000<\/strong>, 91.8 \u00d7 48 \u00d7 19 mm \u2014 wide and flat, the opposite of the slim Instabar 12000. Its headline feature is a <strong>flavour flow wheel<\/strong> turned from CLOSE to LOW-MAX to feed the coil, with a transparent window for the remaining level. Mesh coil at 1 ohm, 16 to 20 W, 800 mAh over USB-C, 12 ml capacity, plus an airflow ring from tight to wide.<\/p>\n<h3>Tesla Bar XT 25000<\/h3>\n<p>This tier moves to a <strong>smart touch screen<\/strong> showing battery and remaining flavour and switching between ECO, Normal and Max. Dual mesh coil at 0.8 ohm, 25 ml capacity, a declared MTL draw with adjustable airflow, and USB Type-C with fast charge support.<\/p>\n<h3>Tesla Bar XT 40000<\/h3>\n<p>Top of the series on count and power. The dual mesh coil runs <strong>single at 16 or 20 W and dual at 30 W<\/strong>. Battery 900 mAh built in over Type-C, 30 ml capacity, and 2% (20 mg) and 5% (50 mg) salt nicotine.

The 70000 (BE70K) adds ECO, STD and TURBO modes plus adjustable airflow for a tight or open draw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does BE70K mean?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"gsv-faq-a\">\n<p>It is the model name of the 70000-puff Instabar tier as printed on the pack. Find it among <a href=\"https:\/\/gsvaping.com\/en\/brand\/instabar\/\">Instabar products<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are Instabar devices rechargeable?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"gsv-faq-a\">\n<p>Yes \u2014 600 mAh over USB Type-C on the 12000, and an internal rechargeable battery on the 70000. Charging restores power, not flavour: both are prefilled and not refillable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which Tesla Bar has the highest power?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"gsv-faq-a\">\n<p>The XT 40000: 16 or 20 W in single-coil mode, up to 30 W in dual-coil mode.
