When a few years ago salt nicotine appeared on the vape market, and then the liquids based on it, many vapers were a bit shocked, because their usual box mods with 200+ Watts capacity and subomix tanks with 0.05 ohm spirals became unnecessary. They were confidently replaced by POD-systems and sub-mods – compact, self-contained, designed to use liquids based on salt nicotine. The popularity of devices in this format led to the fact that many manufacturers, who became famous for their powerful devices, began to produce POD-systems. This is exactly what happened with GeekVape – in addition to Aegis and Zeus, the company offers vapers quite interesting pods, and they are often a continuation of more powerful and functional lines. Having decided to continue the Obelisk series, GeekVape presented Obelisk U POD kit.
General Information
GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit is a compact POD-system equipped with a powerful built-in battery, designed for installation of interchangeable cartridges with built-in vaporizers series U. The design of the new device is quite banal and traditional – a small “bubblegum” decorated with bright side panels. The device is activated by puffing and deprived of any controls, but it has a good autonomy. An important feature of the device is that it is compatible with U series cartridges, which were presented earlier. Depending on the desire of the vaper can use the cartridges on the grid resistance of 0.7 and 1.1 ohms. Buy GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit is available in four colors – black, orange, red and blue.
Equipment
We can not say that the company GeekVape particularly tried to complete a new device, but on the other hand – it’s a simple POD-system, and it is completed simply:
– Obelisk U Device battery pack;
– U Cartridge Pod 0.7 Ohm;
– USB Type-C cable;
– User’s Manual.
Obelisk U Device battery pack
GeekVape devices are very well known to all vapers, as they have become almost exemplary. Among the most famous devices we can name at a glance Aegis, Boost, Zeus – all of them, of course, now wear a literal marking, but vapers call them only that. One of the relatively new line of devices is Obelisk. There are not so many devices in it yet, but each of them not only deserves attention, but is in demand. The company decided to continue this series, but release not a new box-mod or sub-mod, and POD-system GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit, which will surely appreciate the connoisseurs of liquids on the salt nicotine.
Designers of the company clearly did not particularly come up with a unique design or some special form factor, so it looks GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit rather banal and without any special frills – a small “soap box”, to the ergonomics of which there will be no questions. But at the same time the developers decided to decorate the device with quite bright side panels, so it looks original and unusual. The device is very compact – 92.3*26.6*15.8 mm, and not the heaviest – 56.9 grams.
The POD-system is powered by a built-in 950 mAh battery – enough for two or three days of autonomous work. You can charge the battery using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device.
GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit uses a fairly simple chipset that automatically sets the operating power depending on the resistance of the vaporizer installed. If a 0.7 ohm cartridge is installed, the power will be 16-19 watts, and if 1.1 ohm – 9-12 watts. Activation of the device, of course, by puffing. Hidden in the bottom of the device is an inconspicuous LED that lights up during activation and tells you that the device needs to be charged.
U Cartridge Pod
GeekVape made a very wise decision to release universal cartridges that fit different series of devices. That’s why this POD system is designed to fit the U Cartridge Pod, which is used in the Aegis U, Wenax U, Obelisk U, Digiflavor U.
GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit is designed to use two types of U series cartridges – with built-in 0.7 and 1.1 ohm vaporizers. There is no airflow control, but the draw is initially tight, as close as possible to MTL.
To fill the cartridge you need to take it out of the battery box, open the silicon plug on the side and pour 2 ml of liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
Naturally, GeekVape Obelisk U POD kit will not be a revolutionary device that will change vaping, as it is a fairly standard POD system that has hundreds of analogs. But it is its simplicity that will win you over, especially since the vaper will get a good autonomy and will not have difficulty finding consumables.
