GeekVape Obelisk 60 Pod Vape Kit overview

The GeekVape Obelisk 60 Pod Vape Kit is a refillable, rechargeable pod system from Geekvape, a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that has made mods, tanks and pod devices for the better part of a decade. The 60 in the name refers to the maximum power output of 60 watts, which places the kit in the adjustable pod-mod category. That means it is more flexible than a basic fixed-output pod pen, yet far more compact than a full box mod with a separate tank. It is a device you keep and refill, not a throwaway, and that matters in the UK, where single-use disposable vapes have not been legal to sell since 1 June 2025. Anyone who used to buy a disposable every few days now needs a replacement routine, and a kit like this is the obvious route: a body you keep, a small pod you refill, and a bottle of e-liquid.

Three ideas sit behind the Obelisk 60. First, adjustable power, so you can match the device to your e-liquid and your preferred hit instead of accepting a single factory setting. Second, a refillable pod with a mesh coil, a flavour-focused heating element that has become standard across this class of device. Third, a built-in rechargeable battery with USB-C charging, so there are no loose cells to buy, wrap, mislay or carry around.

This guide covers what the kit does, how it performs, what to put in it, how to look after it and how it compares with the alternatives you are likely to be weighing up. It is written for UK buyers, so it assumes the UK rules on nicotine strength, tank and pod size, and recycling. Where we give specifications, they are the figures as we understand them for this model; always check the pack and the leaflet in the box, because manufacturers revise parts and the printed information on your unit is the authority.

One point is worth stating early. A kit does not come with a flavour of its own. The taste, the strength and the cost per week are all decided by the e-liquid you choose, and the kit is simply the platform that turns that liquid into vapour. If you are new to vaping, that is a slightly different way of thinking from a disposable, but most people find it takes only a day or two to get used to.

Specifications and what to expect in the box

Here are the key specifications as we understand them for the Obelisk 60. Treat them as a guide and confirm against the packaging on your unit.

• Device type: refillable pod vape kit with adjustable output.
• Maximum output: 60W, with lower settings available for everyday use.
• Battery: built-in rechargeable lithium-ion cell, in the region of 1,500mAh, charged over USB-C.
• Pod capacity: 2ml for the UK, in line with the legal limit on refillable pod and tank size.
• Coil: replaceable mesh coil built into or fitted to the pod, rated for a defined power window printed on the coil.
• Filling: top or side fill port with a silicone bung, designed for standard bottles with a thin nozzle.
• Airflow: adjustable or semi-adjustable, depending on the pod, so you can move between a tighter and a more open draw.
• Variants in this family: five, which for a kit are normally body colours or finishes rather than different flavours.

In the box you should expect the device itself, at least one pod, a USB-C charging cable and the paperwork. Depending on the bundle, a spare coil or a second pod may be included, but do not assume it. If a spare is important to you, check the product listing before you order and plan to buy replacement coils separately.

Notice what is missing from that list: e-liquid. Kits are sold without it, because nicotine e-liquid is regulated separately and is bottled in 10ml containers at the most. You will need to buy at least one bottle at the same time as the kit, and it is sensible to pick two different flavours so you have something to switch to if the first does not suit you.

It is also worth knowing what the specification does not tell you. A battery rating in milliamp-hours says how much energy the cell holds, not how long a session lasts, because run time depends on the wattage you choose, the coil resistance and how you puff. Likewise, a maximum of 60W is a ceiling, not a target. Most people end up using a modest fraction of it, and the rest is simply headroom that keeps the device running steadily rather than straining.

Performance and vapour delivery

The headline number is 60W, but it helps to understand what that figure does and does not tell you. Wattage is the electrical power sent to the coil. More power heats the coil faster and harder, which produces more vapour, a warmer inhale and a stronger throat sensation. It does not automatically make the experience better. A pod-sized mesh coil is designed to work within a specific power window, usually printed on the coil itself, and most coils in this class sit most comfortably somewhere between the high teens and the mid-forties in watts. Running a coil well above its stated range burns e-liquid faster, shortens coil life and can leave a scorched taste. Treat the printed range on the coil as the authority and treat 60W as headroom.

That headroom is still useful. A device with a higher ceiling tends to run cooler and steadier at moderate settings than a small fixed-output pod pushed to its limit, and it gives you room to fine-tune. Mesh coils also reach working temperature quickly, so there is very little delay between pressing the button, or drawing on the mouthpiece, and getting vapour. In practice you get short, responsive puffs instead of a long wait for the coil to wake up.

The kit suits two broad styles of use. The first is the tight, mouth-to-lung draw that disposable users know well: you pull the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale it. For that you would close the airflow down a little, choose a low to moderate wattage and use a nicotine salt liquid. The second is a looser, more open pull with the airflow wide, a higher wattage and a lower-strength freebase liquid. The Obelisk 60 can do both, although the pod-and-mesh combination is more naturally at home in the first style, and that is where most buyers will spend most of their time.

On puff count, be wary of disposable-style claims. A refillable kit has no fixed number of puffs, because the pod is refilled whenever it is low. What you can reasonably expect is that a full 2ml pod lasts a typical user somewhere between a few hours and a full day of moderate vaping, depending on power, strength and how often you draw. Higher wattage uses liquid faster, so if you find yourself refilling constantly, turning the power down is the quickest fix.

Flavour profile and e-liquid pairing

A kit gives you control over taste, and that is its main advantage over a disposable. The flavour comes from whatever e-liquid you put in the pod, and the mesh coil is a good platform for it. Mesh gives a large, evenly heated surface, so the coil vaporises the liquid without hot spots, and that tends to keep flavours defined from the first puff to the last. If you have been disappointed by the way a disposable fades or turns flat as the battery sinks, you may notice a clear difference.

The five variants listed for this kit are best understood as device options. With a kit, the differences between variants normally relate to the body colour or finish, not to the taste, so pick the one you like the look of. If you are buying your first bottles at the same time, these flavour families are worth trying, because each one behaves a little differently on a mesh coil:

• Blue raspberry and other blue-sweet profiles: bright and slightly sharp, they hold up well at moderate power and carry a light cooling edge.
• Strawberry kiwi and mixed berries: fruity and clean, and they show off the definition of the mesh at around the middle of the power range.
• Watermelon and honeydew blends: light, juicy and easy on the throat, a good starting point for anyone leaving cigarettes behind.
• Menthol and mint: crisp and cooling, and generally the most forgiving flavours if you set the wattage a little high.
• Tobacco and sweet tobacco: a familiar, mellow profile that helps smokers who do not want a fruit flavour.

Sweet liquids with a high sugar content, such as dessert, custard and some candy styles, are thicker and tend to coat the coil sooner. They can still be enjoyed in this kit, but expect to replace the coil a little more often, and keep the power towards the lower end of the coil's range to limit residue. Liquids with a higher proportion of vegetable glycerine are also thicker, so they suit a slightly higher wattage and a more open airflow.

When you swap to a different flavour, empty the pod, rinse it with lukewarm water, let it dry fully and refill it. If you change flavour often, buying a spare pod is a cheap way to avoid ghosting, where the previous flavour lingers in the coil and muddies the next one.

Design and build quality

Geekvape has a reputation in the pod-mod space for hardware designed to withstand daily carrying rather than for decoration. The Obelisk 60 follows that approach: a compact, rounded-rectangle body that fits a trouser pocket or a coat pocket without feeling bulky, and a pod that slots into the top of the device and is held by magnets or a firm friction fit so it stays in place when you carry it. The finish is usually a coated or textured surface that resists fingerprints better than a bare polished one, although as with any pocket device it will pick up small scuffs over months of use.

It is worth treating the physical details as things to check on arrival rather than things to take for granted. When your kit arrives, inspect it for damage, confirm that the pod seats fully and that the button clicks cleanly. Check that the USB-C port is clear of dust. These checks take a minute and make any warranty or returns conversation much easier if something is wrong.

Ergonomics deserve a mention. A 60W-class pod device is slightly larger than a pen-style pod, because it needs room for a bigger battery and a more capable chipset. In the hand it should feel like a small, dense bar of soap, not a stick. The mouthpiece is shaped for a comfortable lip fit, and the fill port is positioned so that you can top up without removing the pod from the device if you prefer, although removing it is cleaner and reduces the chance of liquid reaching the electronics.

On durability, no vape is drop-proof, and you should not rely on any manufacturer's claims about shock resistance as a reason to be careless. The practical advice is simple. Keep the device out of back pockets where it can be sat on, keep it away from loose coins and keys that can scratch it, and never leave it in a hot car, because lithium-ion batteries dislike heat. A small pouch or case, which costs very little, is the single most effective way to extend the life of the body.

Finally, remember that the pod is a consumable. Seals and bungs wear, and a pod that has been refilled many times will eventually weep or loosen. That is normal wear, not a defect, and replacing the pod or coil is the correct response.

Battery and charging

The Obelisk 60 uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, in the region of 1,500mAh, and charges over USB-C. A built-in cell has two advantages for a general user: you never handle loose batteries, which removes the risk of carrying them unwrapped, and the manufacturer can match the cell to the electronics. The trade-off is that you cannot swap in a charged spare when it runs flat. You plug it in and wait.

How long will the battery last? With a milliamp-hour rating, there is no single answer, but you can reason about it. A 1,500mAh cell is a fairly modest capacity for a device with a 60W ceiling. At low to moderate power of around 15W to 30W, most people will get through a full day of ordinary use. At the top of the range the battery drains much faster, and a 60W setting will empty the cell in a fraction of that time. If battery life is a concern, the simplest lever is to use less power, which also extends coil life and saves e-liquid.

Charging advice for UK users is straightforward:

• Use a good-quality USB-C cable and a standard wall adapter or a computer port. Avoid unbranded, very cheap chargers.
• Do not leave the device charging unattended for long periods, and do not charge it overnight on a bed, sofa or under a pillow.
• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface and keep it away from heat.
• Stop using any device that becomes unusually hot, swells, leaks or smells of burning, and contact the retailer.
• Do not use a damaged cable or a loose, wobbling USB-C port.

Most devices of this type have built-in protection against overcharging, short circuits and over-discharge, and many dim or flash an indicator as the battery runs low. A full charge from empty usually takes around an hour or two, depending on the charger.

At the end of its life, the battery should not go in your household bin. Vapes contain lithium-ion cells and electronics covered by the waste electrical rules, so take the device to a household waste recycling centre or to a retailer drop-off point that accepts small electricals. Many large supermarkets and electrical shops have collection bins, and UK vape retailers are required to offer take-back. Never put a vape in general waste or kerbside recycling, where damaged batteries can start fires in collection vehicles.

Coil and mesh technology

The coil is the part that actually makes vapour, and it is the component that makes the biggest difference to how this kit feels. The Obelisk 60 is designed around a mesh coil. Older coils were simply a length of resistance wire wound into a spiral; a mesh coil instead uses a flat, perforated sheet of metal that is rolled or folded into a cylinder around a cotton wick. Because the sheet has a much larger surface area than a thin wire, it heats e-liquid more evenly and more quickly, which usually means smoother vapour, better flavour definition and a shorter wait before the first puff.

Coil resistance is measured in ohms, and it governs the power range. As a general rule, a lower-resistance coil draws more current, runs hotter and suits higher wattage and a more open draw. A higher-resistance coil suits lower wattage and a tighter draw. Mesh coils for this class of device commonly fall between roughly 0.4 and 1.0 ohm. Check the numbers printed on the coil or the pack, and set the device inside the quoted range, starting at the low end and increasing in small steps until the vapour and flavour feel right.

Coil life is not fixed. Typical life runs from one to three weeks of regular use, depending on the strength and sweetness of your liquid and the power you run. You will know a coil is wearing out when the flavour turns flat or slightly burnt, the vapour thins, or the draw begins to gurgle. When that happens, change the coil or pod rather than pushing the power up, because higher wattage will only burn it faster and make the taste worse.

A few habits extend coil life noticeably:

• Prime a new coil. Fill the pod, then let it sit for five to ten minutes so the cotton soaks through before the first puff. Firing a dry coil is the most common cause of an early burnt taste.
• Take gentle first puffs. Start without pressing the button for long, and keep the first few draws short.
• Avoid chain vaping. Long, repeated puffs without a pause outrun the wick and scorch the cotton.
• Match liquid to coil. Thick, heavily sweetened liquids clog mesh faster than thin ones.

Remember that a coil is a consumable. Budget for replacements in the same way you would budget for refills, and keep a spare to hand so that a dead coil does not leave you without anything to vape.

Nicotine strength guidance

Choosing the right strength is the decision that most affects whether a switch from smoking works, so it is worth getting right. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg per ml (2%), and bottles are limited to 10ml. That cap applies to everything sold for refilling, and it is the same figure that applied to the disposables that are now off the market. If you see a bottle advertised above 20mg, it is not a legal UK product.

There are two main types of e-liquid to know about, and the Obelisk 60 can use both:

• Nicotine salt liquids (nic salts): these use a form of nicotine that feels smoother at higher strengths. They are typically sold at 10mg or 20mg, and they suit low to moderate power and tight, mouth-to-lung draws. This is the natural match for a pod kit.
• Freebase liquids: the traditional form, usually sold between 0mg and 6mg, though some go higher. They feel harsher at high strength, so they are used in lower strengths and are often paired with higher wattage and open airflow.

As a rough starting guide, people who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day often begin on a 20mg nic salt, and lighter smokers or those cutting down often prefer 10mg. Social smokers and people who vape mostly for flavour may find that 5mg or less is enough. If you notice a harsh hit in the throat, a headache, dizziness or nausea, the strength or the power is too high, and you should lower either one. If you keep reaching for a cigarette or find yourself puffing constantly, the strength is probably too low.

Do not run a 20mg salt at the top of the wattage range. High power delivers a lot of nicotine very quickly and the experience is usually unpleasant. If you want more vapour, drop to a lower strength first and then raise the wattage.

Nicotine is addictive, and vapes are intended for adults who smoke or who already use nicotine products. If you do not smoke, you do not need to start. Zero-nicotine liquids are available and work well in this kit. Anyone who is pregnant, has a heart condition or is on medication should speak to a pharmacist or GP before using nicotine products.

Who the Obelisk 60 suits, and who should skip it

No device suits everyone, and an honest buying guide should say so. Here is how the Obelisk 60 sorts out.

It is a good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker or former disposable user who wants a refillable device and is ready to buy e-liquid separately.
• Want some control over power and airflow, without the size and complexity of a full mod and tank setup.
• Value flavour definition and are happy with a mesh coil.
• Prefer a compact, pocketable device to a bulky one.
• Want to cut your running costs compared with buying a disposable every few days.

You should look elsewhere if you:

• Want a device that needs no filling, no coils and no thought. A closed pod system with pre-filled pods is simpler, even though it costs more per millilitre.
• Want large clouds on a very open draw. With a 2ml pod and a UK-sized tank limit, this is not the kit for sub-ohm cloud chasing, and a larger tank device is a better match.
• Need the longest possible battery life. A 1,500mAh class battery is adequate rather than generous, and heavy users will want to charge during the day.
• Are buying for someone who does not smoke. Vapes are for adults who currently use nicotine, and sale to anyone under 18 is illegal in the UK.

New vapers are often unsure whether an adjustable kit will be too complicated, and the answer is that it need not be. For the first week, leave the settings in the middle of the range, fill the pod with a nic salt in a flavour you enjoy and learn how it feels. Once you understand the basics, adjusting the wattage up or down by a few watts is easy and quickly becomes second nature.

Experienced vapers coming from larger mods may find the Obelisk 60 limited, but they are not its target. It is a convenient everyday carry, not a showpiece, and it works best as the device you take out of the house, with a bigger set-up kept at home for when you want more vapour.

How to set up and use your kit

Setting up takes only a few minutes. Follow these steps in order for the best first impression.

• Check the contents. Confirm the device, pod, cable and paperwork are all present, and read the leaflet.
• Charge the battery. Plug in the USB-C cable and charge until the indicator shows full. It is a sensible habit even if the unit arrives with some charge.
• Remove the pod. Pull it out of the body and peel off any protective film or plug from the mouthpiece and fill port.
• Fill the pod. Open the fill port or bung, tilt the pod and fill slowly with e-liquid, stopping a little below the maximum line. Do not overfill, and do not cover the central airflow tube with liquid.
• Let the coil prime. Wait five to ten minutes so the cotton absorbs the liquid.
• Insert the pod. Push it firmly back into the body until it seats.
• Switch on and set the power. Typically you press the button several times in quick succession to switch the device on, and then use the controls to select a wattage. Begin at the lower end of the coil's printed range.
• Take your first puffs. Draw gently and steadily. If the vapour tastes weak, raise the power by a couple of watts. If it tastes harsh or hot, lower it.

Everyday use is simple. Draw on the mouthpiece, or press the button if your model is button-fired, and release as soon as you stop inhaling. Aim for puffs of two to four seconds, with a gap of at least ten seconds between them so that the wick can re-saturate.

Maintenance matters too. Wipe the mouthpiece and the pod contacts with a dry cloth or cotton bud once a week, and check the contacts on the device for any residue. Empty and rinse the pod when changing flavour, and always let it dry completely before refilling. Keep the device upright when you can, and avoid storing it with a full pod in hot places, because heat thins the liquid and can cause leaks.

Finally, keep e-liquid out of the reach of children and pets. Bottles should have child-resistant caps, and the pod and device should be stored where they cannot be picked up.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a pod kit have simple causes. Work through this list before assuming the device is faulty.

• Burnt or harsh taste: The coil may be dry, worn or running too hot. Let the pod prime for longer, take shorter puffs, reduce the wattage and replace the coil if the taste does not improve.
• Weak or flat flavour: This often means a tired coil, but it can also be caused by a low liquid level or a very sweet liquid that has clogged the mesh. Refill, replace the coil and consider switching to a thinner liquid.
• Gurgling or spitting: Excess liquid is the usual cause, and often it is condensation in the airflow tube. Blow gently through the mouthpiece with the pod removed, wipe it clean and avoid overfilling.
• Leaking: Check the bung is fully seated, avoid overfilling and look for hairline cracks around the pod. A pod that leaks repeatedly after a refill has probably reached the end of its life and should be replaced.
• No vapour or the device does not fire: Check that the pod is seated and the contacts are clean, confirm the device is switched on, and charge the battery. If the screen or light shows a short-circuit or no-coil warning, remove and reseat the pod, and replace the coil if the warning persists.
• Battery drains quickly: This usually means a high wattage setting, or a cell that is close to the end of its cycle life. Lower the power first. If the battery has become noticeably weaker after many months, it is wearing out.
• Device will not charge: Try a different cable and adapter, and clean the USB-C port gently with a dry wooden or plastic pick, never a metal one. If it still does not charge, contact the retailer.
• Dizziness or nausea: You are taking in too much nicotine. Stop, take fresh air, drink water and lower the strength or the wattage before you vape again.

If a fault appears within a short period of purchase, stop using the device, keep the packaging and contact us with clear photos or a short description of the problem. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose, and a faulty item can be rejected within the first 30 days. Normal wear on consumables such as coils, pods and seals is not a fault, but a device that will not power on or charge from new generally is.

Value for money and honest comparisons

Value in vaping is about running costs, not just the sticker price. A disposable can look cheap on the shelf but costs more over a month, because you pay again each time it runs out. A refillable kit costs more up front, then settles into a pattern of e-liquid bottles and the occasional coil or pod. For a regular user, that pattern is typically cheaper than buying disposables, and the saving widens the longer you use the same device. With the Obelisk 60, expect to budget for a bottle of e-liquid every week or two and a coil every couple of weeks, depending on how heavily you vape.

The Obelisk 60 does not exist in isolation, so here is how it sits against some well-known alternatives. These comparisons are general and approximate, and you should check current specifications before you buy.

• Smok Nord series: the Nord line is a long-running rival, with devices that offer similar adjustable power and mesh-based pods, and often a somewhat larger battery on newer models. If battery life is your priority, a Nord is worth comparing. The Obelisk 60 competes on compact size and a simple interface.
• Vaporesso Xros series: these are simpler pod systems, usually with smaller batteries and less power. They are good for easy, low-effort vaping but give you less room to adjust than a 60W-class device.
• Voopoo Vinci and Argus lines: these are close in concept, with adjustable power, mesh pods and comparable batteries. The choice often comes down to which pod design and finish you prefer, and to whether coils are easy to find locally.
• Uwell Caliburn series: a more compact, closed-style system. It is a sensible choice for those who want simplicity above control.

Where the Obelisk 60 holds its ground is in the balance of power, size and adjustability, backed by a manufacturer that has a long record in the category. Where it falls behind is in battery size against the largest rivals and in the lack of any e-liquid in the box.

Before you order, think about coil availability. A device is only as convenient as the spare parts you can buy for it, and Geekvape coils are widely stocked in UK shops and online. For delivery, UK orders are usually dispatched quickly and tracked, but check the delivery options and cut-off times shown at checkout. The seller must verify that the buyer is 18 or over, and you may be asked for proof of age on delivery.
