Uwell Caliburn G5 Vape Kit

Uwell Caliburn G5 Vape Kit

The Uwell Caliburn G5 Vape Kit is a refillable pod kit with a 1600mAh built-in battery, up to 35W of adjustable power and adjustable airflow, built around Uwell's GPP pods. It is draw-activated, so there is no firing button to hold, and it covers everything from a restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) draw down to a tighter mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw, depending on the pod and airflow setting you choose. Two output modes, Storm and Waves, let you switch between a flavour-focused vape and a stronger, punchier one.

The Caliburn G5 is Uwell's flagship device in the G5 range, with a premium aluminium alloy body, a round display with nine colour-matched themes and a tap sensor that lets you change settings by tapping the device. The kit comes with several GPP pods, including the new GPP Alpha pod, and it is compatible with GPP pods from the Caliburn G3, G4 and G5 range, so replacements are easy to find.

Please note: e-liquid is not included. This is a refillable pod kit, so you will need to buy nicotine e-liquid separately. Browse our nic salts and e-liquids.

Nicotine warning: This device is used with nicotine e-liquid, which contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance. For adult smokers and vapers only. You must be 18 or over to purchase.

Who Is the Caliburn G5 For?

This kit suits adult smokers and vapers who want a flexible refillable pod kit with a big battery and more control than a basic pod device offers. It works well if you like to switch between pod resistances, fine-tune airflow and wattage, and want a device that can handle both a looser RDL draw and a tighter MTL draw. Existing Caliburn users will feel at home, since the G5 is compatible with older GPP pods.

If you want something simpler and cheaper, Uwell also makes the Caliburn G5 KOKO and G5 Lite, which share the same pod range. Browse our Uwell vape kits and refillable pod vape kits to compare options.

GPP Pods and the New GPP Alpha

The Caliburn G5 uses Uwell's GPP pods. The kit includes more than one pod so you can try different resistances, and it also includes the new GPP Alpha pod, which Uwell says offers a longer pod life, better flavour and a soft-touch TPU mouthpiece. Pods are filled from the top, and the fill port is plunger-style: press down with the bottle nozzle while you fill, and the port closes again when you take the nozzle away. You can also flip a pod around when you insert it to change how much airflow you get.

A rough guide to the pod resistances:

• Lower resistance pods (around 0.4ohm): Airy, direct-lung style draw. Best with freebase e-liquids. Not for nic salts.
• 0.6ohm Alpha pod: A strong, punchy draw that can be tightened to RDL by closing the airflow. Best with freebase e-liquids.
• 0.6ohm standard GPP pod: Works for RDL and MTL. Suits nic salts or freebase e-liquids.
• 0.9ohm pod: The tightest, most MTL-style draw. Suits nic salts.

The pods supplied in the UK box depend on the version you receive, so check what is included below. See our Uwell refillable pods and Uwell vape coils for replacements.

Display, Themes and Controls

The Caliburn G5 has a small round display with nine themes, each matching a colourway of the device. The text on the screen is small, so it is easier to read at close range. Controls use the side button and the tap sensor:

• Power on or off: Press the side button five times.
• Change wattage: Press the side button three times, then click or hold to scroll through the range.
• Open the menu (modes, themes, brightness): Press the side button four times.
• Tap sensor: Tap the device three times for the action you have chosen, such as switching themes or modes.

A battery percentage readout is shown on the display, so you always know where you stand.

How to Fill and Use

1. Take a pod out of the packaging and remove any seals or protective covers.
2. Slide off the snap-off mouthpiece to reveal the fill port. Press the bottle nozzle down into the plunger-style port and fill slowly. Don't overfill.
3. Take the nozzle away so the port closes, then refit the mouthpiece.
4. Push the pod into the device and wait a few minutes (or follow the instructions in the pack) so the coil can soak up e-liquid fully.
5. Choose your wattage and mode, and adjust the airflow slider to your preference.
6. Inhale gently through the mouthpiece. The device fires automatically.
7. Recharge with a USB-C cable when the battery runs low.

Checking Your E-liquid Level

The pod has a viewing window, but it can be hard to read. The clear section at the bottom of the pod is raised slightly and can make it look as if there is still e-liquid left when the pod is actually empty. To be sure, take the pod out and check it directly, and refill before the level gets low to avoid a dry hit.

Choosing E-liquid

Match your e-liquid to your pod. Tighter, higher-resistance pods suit nic salts, while lower-resistance, airier pods suit freebase e-liquids at lower strengths. UK nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, so pick the strength that suits you. If you are not sure, start lower and go up if needed.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Caliburn G5

• Let the coil soak after filling. Skipping this is the most common cause of a burnt or weak first few puffs.
• Fill slowly and avoid overfilling to reduce leaks and gurgling.
• Start in Waves mode for balanced flavour, and try Storm if you want a stronger draw.
• Experiment with airflow and pod orientation to find the draw that suits you.
• Check the pod directly rather than relying on the viewing window.
• Replace the pod when flavour fades. Keep a spare to hand.

Battery and Charging Safety

• Charge with a reputable USB charger and cable, and don't leave the device charging unattended or overnight.
• Don't use or charge a device that is damaged, swollen or unusually hot.
• Keep the device, pods and e-liquid away from children and pets.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do not swallow e-liquid.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Dispose of used devices, pods and batteries at a suitable recycling point, not in household waste.
