Uwell’s range of Caliburn refillable pod devices are some of the most popular vape starter kits available, loved for their simplicity, sleek design, and attention to detail. Each time a new member of the Caliburn family arrives it features fantastic upgrades that have clearly been designed with vapers in mind, so every time you think it can’t get any better, they have a surprise for you.

I’m taking a look at the Caliburn G2, Caliburn G, and the original Caliburn device help you find the best Caliburn to suit you!

Uwell Caliburn G2

The Caliburn G2 is the latest addition to the Caliburn family, and it comes with some fancy new upgrades that help you tailor your vaping experience to specifically suit your personal style.

The device has a 750 mAh built-in battery and unlike other Caliburn devices, the G2 has fully adjustable airflow through a unique dial at the base of the pod. This means that you can choose exactly how loose or tight you would like your draw to be, simply by removing the pod and turning the small red dial on the base.

The G2 maintains the small and compact style that the Caliburn range is known for, with a sleek and lightweight aluminium body that is available in three different colour variations. They have also added a full e-liquid viewing window which means you can always see exactly how much e-liquid is left in your pod.

The 2 ml refillable pods have a comfortable duck-bill mouthpiece, which can be removed to refill the pod when needed. It clicks securely in place so you can easily store it in your pocket or bag without worrying about the pod going walkabouts. The coils in the Caliburn G2 are changeable and offer two different coil options in the box so you can give them both a try and find which one best suits you.

By using the coils in combination with the adjustable airflow and 18 w output, the G2 can be used for both MTL (mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping. If you prefer a MTL vaping style you will probably prefer the 1.2 ohm coil and can close off the airflow a bit to make the draw tighter. For a restricted DTL draw, try the 0.8 ohm coil with the airflow open nice and wide.

A new feature which is exclusive to the Caliburn G2 is the addition of haptic feedback, which lets the device communicate with you through vibrations. When something has changed on the device it will let you know, for example, when you remove or insert the pod, when it is on charge, and if the device cannot sense a coil.

The Caliburn G comes with a 690 mAh battery which, combined with the 15 w power output, provides plenty of power to keep the average vaper going all day, and then some! Plus, Uwell have followed the trend we are seeing with many new vape kits and migrated from a micro USB charging port to a USB-C, which cuts down the charge time so you can get back to vaping quicker. It can easily be plugged into a computer or games console for a quick charge that will fit around even the busiest of lifestyles.

The Caliburn G offers a version of adjustable airflow that is ideal for those who don’t want to have to mess around with buttons and dials. There are two different options, a looser and a tighter draw, and you can change between the two by simply removing the pod, turning it around, and replacing it. This is such a user-friendly approach that I think many newer vapers will really appreciate.

The Caliburn G offers changeable coils and comes with two 0.8 ohm mesh coils in the box, which offer fantastic flavour payoff and longevity, and have a push fit design that makes them really quick and easy to insert. I really love that they have chosen a mesh coil, which utilises a metal mesh rather than a wire. This allows for a more even distribution of heat so the coils last longer and offer a really dense and flavourful vapor.

Uwell Caliburn 11 w device

The Caliburn is well loved in the vaping community and was the first member of the Uwell Caliburn family. It packs a surprising punch considering its size, with a 520 mAh built-in battery and an 11 w power output.

Although the original Caliburn does not offer adjustable airflow, it has been designed to offer an extremely pleasant draw which feels comfortable and familiar to those who have previously smoked, as it replicates the feel of a cigarette. This is ideal as the Caliburn is aimed at new vapers who are making the switch from smoking to vaping.

It has a flattened, pen style design and is extremely compact and lightweight, making it super travel-friendly and the ideal size for on-the-go use.

The Caliburn utilises refillable pods which can be paired with your favourite 50/50 or high PG e-liquid, and they have a magnetic design that holds the pod securely within the device for extra peace of mind.

The original Caliburn does not have changeable coils, so when the coil starts to burn out you will need to replace the whole pod. I found the pods offered great longevity, and the flavour and vapor production remained fantastic until the end. For many new vapers this is a lot more accessible than changeable coils, as it allows you to replace the pod with just a click.

When vaping you can choose between button activation or draw activation. Draw activation is when you inhale through the mouthpiece to make the device fire, which will feel a lot more familiar to newer vapers as it replicates the way in which you would smoke a cigarette. But it still offers button activation if this is your preference and having both options is not something we often see in other pod kits.

Which Caliburn should I choose?

Each of the Caliburn devices has its own defining characteristics that makes them suited to different types of vapers.

The Caliburn G2 is ideal for those who have been vaping for a little while and are looking to upgrade their starter kit to something that is a bit more powerful and complex. Being able to fully adjust the airflow, choose between different coil options, and use both MTL and DTL vaping styles makes it so easy to personalise your vaping experience and experiment with different settings to work out what you like.

I would recommend the Caliburn G to vapers who have previously been using a prefilled pod kit, so have already gotten to grips with vaping, but are looking for something that is refillable and a bit more powerful. It is ideal for vapers who have a busy lifestyle and are looking for a device that will keep up with them. It is easy to refill and charge on-the-go, with amazing flavour and great battery life.

When someone is looking to make the switch from smoking to vaping, the original Caliburn is one of the first devices I will recommend to them. It is such a user-friendly device, especially for those who are maybe not the most tech savvy and want a simple option that makes the switch to vaping feel like a breeze. The device is already designed to offer a cigarette-alike feel, so you don’t need to mess around with different settings or coils, just pop in a pod, fill it up, and your vaping!
