An exact-wording record must survive a short headline and a later catalog update.
The primary-source record
Geek Bar’s download directory separates PULSE, PULSE X and newer numbered variants into different entries. Its company page dates the brand’s establishment to 2015. These are statements in the publisher’s own records. Separately, an FDA announcement dated 22 October 2024 names Geek Bar among several brands in a joint seizure operation; the announced totals concern the operation, not Geek Bar alone.
Keep the formal entry in the citation
Use the label on the source page, including X or a generation number where present. The article can have a shorter display title, but the source note should preserve enough wording to locate the same entry later. An access date records when the editor read it, not when the product was first released.
Cite the event and the catalog separately
The FDA announcement has a publication date and a scope different from a live catalog. Combining both into one undated reference makes later correction harder. Two clear citations allow a reader to revisit the naming question and the historical context independently.
What a reader can take from this record
The useful result is a traceable account: an exact subject, an attributed statement and a source date. No physical sample was examined for this article. We have not measured endurance, emissions, flavor or reliability. A source description is not a recommendation, and a historical institutional record should not be treated as a current worldwide legal determination.
Questions for the next source check
- Does the full model name match the document being cited?
- Is the statement about a component, a kit, a brand or a named case?
- Which date belongs to the source, and which date only records access?
- What observation or primary document would resolve the remaining question?
