► Obelisk 65 FC; First impressions:
Compared to Obelisk 200 and 120 Mod the new 65FC All-in-One has a more compact and squat form factor, the well-rounded line and without sharp edges offers a comfortable grip, this device with a tech-chic appearance adapts perfectly to the palm of the hand and the weight of 150g does not negatively affect the very good portability of the product.

The Smart Mode integrated into the chip helps the novice user not to make mistakes. The 4.5ml watertight Pod houses the Z Series Coils which are among the best in the Pod / Mod sector. .

► Obelisk 65 FC; Front / back view:
At the top is the Fire button decorated with the Obelisk logo and below the display we find the "Up and Down" adjustment buttons placed above a rocker.
The Obelisk 65FC's display is located in the center and is very bright and shows the following information:
• Operating mode
• Power setting
• Battery level indicator
• Coil resistance
• Output voltage
• Puff counter and length of the last Puff

The rear side of the mod has a protruding central column with two grooves on the sides that resemble the design of the other Obelisk Mods.

► Obelisk 65 FC; Side view:
The side panels of the Mod take advantage of the IML technology that enhances the colors and decorations, the GeekVape writing is present on both sides, the USB-C charging socket is located at the bottom of the frame. Both sides of the mod were covered with a film, similar to the screen protector on phones.

► Obelisk 65 FC; Above under:
The pod compartment is quite large with a raised support towards the front, the floor houses two powerful black magnets and of course the two gold-plated contact pins.

At the bottom of the Mod we find; the Obelisk logo, product name, place of origin, brand (C E) and disposal logo.

► Obelisk 65 FC; Pod:
The cartridge made for Obelisk 65FC has a good liquid capacity (4.5ml), a comfortable refill from the top and thanks to the adjustable air intake at the top, liquid leaks are avoided.

The included 510 drip tip is removable and the airflow control feels precise and stiff enough to turn. The coils are inserted from the bottom and to facilitate their extraction there is a special tool branded by GeekVape in the package.

The liquid fill hole is adequately sized and the rubber stopper can be easily lifted and moved to the side for refilling. Unfortunately, the black color of the cartridge does not help to visualize the internal liquid content.

► Obelisk 65 FC; Coil B Series:
Geekvape used the same specific Coils of the Zeus Nano Tank for Obelisk 65FC. The new coils are equipped with three 0'ring and fit perfectly into the cartridge. The information (Watt Range) is written on the bottom, this allows you to easily identify the characteristics and range of use of each of them even without eyeglasses.
* For the vape test I prepared my 10ML Hypnos TOB concentrated aroma liquid diluted to 10%, VG-PG 50/50 with 1.5mg / ml boost.

• Geekvape B Series Mesh-Coil Ka1 from 0.4Ω, Range 25-35W:
This Mesh-Coil after initializing it and waiting 5 minutes to allow the breathable material to become saturated with liquid is immediately ready to offer maximum performance and without strange flavors of cotton or plastic. The Coil is activated quickly even at minimum power (25W). With AFC open 1/3 of a turn the balance between; heat, aromatic yield and steam production are satisfactory and the steam always remains fresh even after long and intensive use. With this Coil it is possible to reduce the air flow more to obtain a greater "Hit" and hotter vapor. My ideal setting with this resistor is 30W of power and AFC open 1/3 of a turn.

• Geekvape B Series Mesh-Coil Ni 80 0.2Ω, Range 50-58W (pre-installed):
Even this resistance is ready immediately and without strange flavors. The intelligent mode suggests a power of 56W for this coil, however I managed to make it work well with nominal powers below the minimum range, at 40-45W and with AFC open starting from 50% opening it emits a nice dense hot vapor and copious. The aromatic yield enhances the aromatic notes present in my liquid making it difficult for me to detach myself from the Vaping. Playing with the AFC settings and raising the Watts, the vapor becomes hotter and the flavor increases, the consumption of liquid is quite high and this makes it necessary to fill the tank often in order not to risk running the resistance dry.

* The range of Coil B-Series currently consists of 5 different cuts for different needs; 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 1.2Ω

► Obelisk 65 FC; Fast charging:
Obelisk 65FC Kit 4.5ml is the first ever Pod Mod with USB-PD fast charging (15W-45W) and with a compatible adapter it is possible to fully recharge the battery from 0% to 100% in just 18 minutes. The built-in and TUV tested dual battery has a capacity of 2x1100mAh (2200mAh). The charging cable with double C socket allows you to use the Obelisk 65FC also as a power bank.

► Obelisk 65 FC; Chipset:
The Obelisk 65FC Chipset has the integrated "Smart" function that detects the value of the inserted coil and automatically sets the power to the best wattage, I find that the "Smart" function is really very convenient, preventing errors for distracted users. Of course it is possible to exclude this function to adjust the power according to your taste. The graphic interface offers the possibility to select 5 different background colors: Red, Green, Blue, Purple and Orange.
There are different levels of protection for user safety.
• Overheating protection

• Triple overvoltage protection
• Low voltage protection
• Charge and discharge overcurrent protection

Final conclusions:
I am really satisfied with Obelisk 65 FC, the form factor and the low weight enhance the great ergonomic feeling that you get when holding this product in your hand. The control buttons are silent and the graphical interface is bright, easy to read, beautiful and captivating with its many background colors.
The reading of the resistances is precise and the DC-DC storage converter with an output voltage higher than the input allows the Step-Up with semi-discharged battery. The double 2,200 mAh battery offers a rather long Vaping autonomy and it is not difficult to exceed 400 puffs at constant 25W, I would say a really good result! The AFC adjustment from the top is well designed and the two opposing 11x4mm Slots allow deep DL aspirations but also precise and satisfying RDL adjustments. Geekvape B-series resistors are really excellent and durable, the valuable construction of the cartridge protects against any loss and there is not the slightest trace of condensation even after hours and hours of prolonged use. Good Geekvape!

In my view, this Kit would be perfect if the cartridge were transparent, in fact the dark color of the tank does not immediately make the internal liquid level visible and forces the user to look for very strong points of light or to extract the cartridge from the device.

To conclude, I would like to recommend Obelisk 65 FC to everyone because with its incredible charging speed it is truly an innovative device!

Thanks for reading.
