Great little vape for a beginner. Over a long period of time did start to leak and flavour wasn’t as strong, but great to get you into vaping
By Kai from Wirral
An awesome First vape product. Fast delivery via vapeclub as always.
Only downside was that I found that the vape was "spitting" After about a week of use. Turns out that my sub ohm coil had been used up. I hastily went back onto vapeclub and ordered 4 more, which is surprisingly cheaper than what you can find on amazon.
The new 4 coils arrived (0.8 sub ohm) and I was able to vape right away. I find that many liquids are available to use - even the 88Vape from home bargains - without any issue. Though for longevity of the coil I ensure to use a 50/50 as recommended.
This device has lasted me 3 months or so now, without an overly harsh burn when running low on liquid. Just a reminder to top up if you're a frequent vaper.
A lot of beautiful tasting liquids to choose from. And the device is easily concealable. Id recommend this device as a first time vape, moving from cigarettes to vaping as its so compatible with a lot of liquids to try out, as well as different kinds of liquids.
Fully functioning from the get go and ready to use. Just make sure not to lose the charger because its relatively short in length and thus easy to misplace, but it doesn't take much time in charging fully - about 20 minutes.
The mouthpiece is crafted to allow the inhale of a cigarette without the "largeness" of some other vapes, its comfortable and ergonomic.
Its the first vape I bought, and the best one I stand by.

I will emphasise that the Caliburn G has now kept me off the ciggies for almost a month now!
Not had any leaking issues, but have noticed some coils like to push out a little when installing. I counter this by making the coil rubber o ring slightly wet which then helps seal pushing the coil into the pod. Leaking issues also check you have the bottom of the coil flat end the correct way as it is not completely round and has a flat side.
My biggest draw back is the battery has depreciated over the 3 weeks of heavy use. Going from about half a day of charge to about 2 hours of use. I do have plenty of USB C cables laying around, so now constantly have on charge whether driving or on a powerbank if at home/work (you can vape whilst charging). PS It does get to full charge quickly.
Another negative for me personally and I am contradicting my previous review, is that I now find the draw a little too restrictive sometimes and am wanting more airflow. This is completely my own opinion and how I am evolving with the change from smoking to vaping. It would be nice if this could be manually adjusted.
With heavy vaping, I find the coils last about 4 days of use. Letting the coil dry hit will dramatically reduce this though so keep an eye on your juice levels!
This all said, the flavour from vape is great and the size of the Caliburn G device is discreet and light. As previously mentioned no leaking from any coils so long there installed correctly and used a spare pod with no leaking either.
Will continue to use but have purchased another pod system...
By Pud from Newcastle
This is honestly the worst vape ever. Leaks non stop, it’s honestly so bad. Do not waste your money, I tried everything and spent so much on different pods and coils! The flavour is great, but it’s unusable. Such a shame and such a waste of money. I’ve just purchased the luxe Q from Vaporesso. Hoping that one does better.
By Ben from Devon
For the first week this worked great. The black cap was a bit fiddly to get off so that you could refill but that was something I was happy to bear.
However I found out that the coil needed replacing 1 week into use as I had a blue light flash 3 times and then stop.
I switched over to a new coil, this resolved that issue but now I can't stop it leaking the juice everywhere.
Everytime I refill now it just comes pouring out the bottom air hole, this is when I refill the tank also when the tank is connected to the vape pen... It then leaks out of the side air hole and makes a complete mess.. I went through 2 whole bottles of the juice whilst trying to sort it out.
All in all I am really disappointed in this product and would like a full refund as it's within the 28 day DOA period.
By Mike from London
Do not purchase this.
Things started out okay. After 3 months of use, I can confirm that both versions of the coils for the Caliburn G burn out within a couple of days, and the pod design is so poor as to cause leaking (the caps always snap off and there are gaps around the edges of the pods after a few refills which causes the leaks). Sometimes the leaking is minimal, other times liquid is literally streaming out of the airflow hole after 5 minutes of setting it down vertically.
I always purchase genuine Uwell pods and coils, and I have used a variety of liquids (usually 60/40 and 70/30). I am an experienced and frequent e-cigarette user, looking for a reliable device, and this is categorically not it.
This product is unusable and I can't believe I have suffered through it for so long.
By Samwincott from Billericay
Great little pod, the flavour is great I use Dinner Lady Lemon tart Nic Salts and it’s really good, had a few problems ordering and paying because of a system fault but Jack found my details and rang me and all was sorted there and then including a 15% discount if in doubt use vape club it really is the best online store available!
By Hol from Nottingham
amazing kit! so small and easy to refill with most liquids, would recommend !

Really liked the original Caliburn and thought that this would be a great upgrade. Unfortunately, the pods constantly leak. I've tried changing them etc but couldn't stop the leaking. It's a shame since the device looks really nice.
By MatW89 from Sevenoaks
The flavour that the Caliburn G creates is great for such a nifty device along with a simple yet effective 2 way airflow control system. I personally prefer the tighter pull on the airflow compared to the more open.
I have just quit smoking (again) and rather going for the beastier more powerful handhold devices like I previously owned I wanted something smaller, pocketable, light yet effective. I started this time with the Juul as I had never used Nic Salts before but the battery was awful despite the charge case it comes with and although you can sort of refill their pods it just wasn’t cutting what I personally needed, and came across the Caliburn G and its great reviews.
The battery on this almost lasts me about half a day with vaping regularly/heavily (i am impressed for power to size) and charges quickly utilising the USB C charging port.
No leaking as of yet but I am still on my first coil and yet to change it.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase, it does everything it says. I will give it a month and if I have minimal issues like replacing pods and tips which I expect will wear and break over time, then I most certainly will purchase a second Caliburn G to cover me for re-charging time as it suits me to the ground.
By Lize from UK
Tried a few supermarket type vape offerings and really couldn't get along with them. Bought one as recommended in local vape shop and have since purchased another here.
Took an afternoon to get fully used to the different inhale method but this one is far easier to master than others I tried. I particularly like the auto inhale without the need to press the button.
Very easy to fill up and buying additional pods makes it easy to have a few flavours on the go even if you only have one device.
I was a 30 cig smoker and using 20mg Nic Salts have found a fill lasts all day. Battery lasts into the evening and it charges exceptionally quickly.
No leakage problems even when laying down.
Good value from here and especially with the 2 free Nic Salts.
By Peanut Arbuckle from UK
I've just returned to vaping after being away for a few years. This device really surprised me, gone are the days of bulky devices which will leak in your pocket. This kicks out a hefty mouthful of vapour and does it in a device small enough to slide in any pocket. Not only that but I have had zero leaking issues, regardless of laying it on its side, etc.
Lovely flavour, particularly with nic salts.
Great device for a begginer or for someone looking for a small, discreet, reliable unit for taking out and about.
The only thing I'd change would be to give it a bit of a longer battery life. Its understandable in such a small unit but by the end of the day I usually have to give it a quick charge. Luckily it charges really fast.
By Banana from UK
Bought one of these and threw in the bin. Would not stop leaking into my mouth and also burned taste very quickly. Found it very fiddly to refill, the open / close mechanism is not good and did not stop leaks for me.
By Dave
I recently bought this as I’ve got the older versions which tbh were great. I like nearly everything about it but the one thing that’s really letting it down is the battery life, it just doesn’t last long, improve that and you got a great product.
By Buzz from Kent
This is perfect for an all day vape, I love the pod system, its very easy to use, refill and change the coil, and so far no leaks. The vapour and flavour production from these tiny coils is insane, I'm seriously impressed. Easily lasts me all day on a single charge. The 0.8Ohm mesh coil is slightly on the warm side but you quickly get used to it, working great with 50/50 10mg nic salt. I don't think you can get better than this for your money, I got 2 10ml nic salt liquids for free which is even better. Love Uwell and love Vape Club
By May
Bought a good few months ago, wanted to wait a little while before reviewing in case the quality dropped after some use.
I think it's great and would recommend it to beginners or anyone who just wants a small device with limited maintenance. It has the simplicity and discrete feel of disposables but with way less waste. Charges super quick as well.
The pod leaks inside sometimes but that's really the only bad thing I've experienced. It very rarely leaks outside so it's bearable.
By Mike from London
I've used this pod for 3 months right now, and I implore you not to waste your money.
First off, I haven't had a coil last longer than 4 days tops, and they're usually burned out by 2 days in. The same goes for 0.8ohm and 1ohm coils This isn't my choice of e liquid as I've used a variety of 50/50, 70/30, 60/40 juices, none of which are sweetened. They all perform the same, and the issue is rather than the wicking is incredibly poor. You can squeeze the pod the encourage wicking, but this ruins the pod which will leak badly (seriously, put the pod on your desk and all 2mls will just pour out over the course of about 10 mins).
Youtubers were keen on this for taste and everything else but if you want a functioning, everyday device then this is really bad. Ultimately this is a flawed product that I've wasted a lot of money on. The original caliburn was a great device but this is just a money sink.
By Screech from Newcastle
Been vaping on and off for 2 years. And this is by far the best vape Iv had to keep me off the tabs, going to buy another one as the battery won’t last me a full day of heavy vaping. Been using nic salts 10mg. Would highly recommend if you’ve had trouble kicking the tabs full time
By LB from Leicester
I was thinking about vaping for sometime and was very overwhelmed with all the different types of vapes out there, I came across this one and liked the fact it looked very discreet, I am so happy i went for this in the end, its perfect for a 1st time vaper, small, lightweight, very easy to use, charge lasts all day. highly recommend.
By Liam from UK
I bought this as an alternative to the Juul, and even though the Juul is a great cigarette replacement - the pods are just too expensive. The Caliburn G has many great features (watch a YouTube review for more in-depth overview) and overall is a good, relatively inexpensive alternative to the Juul as you can refill the pod. It has two different airflow options which I enjoy. It's not as tight as the Juul but it still does the job.
By Jordan
Have been using this for a few months now and love it. Some liquids do leak if the pods are filled a bit high, so I typically try and keep it filled to 3/4 of the "window" on either side. Besides that I've had no issues at all. Charge lasts long enough for me, coils have also lasted me a very long time. I've not had the issue with it going off in my pocket, not entirely sure how someone manages to do that.
By Pezzo from London
Really easy to use and fill the pods
By Anonymous
What an excellent vape for a little pod system. The 0.8 mesh coils produce FAR better saturated MTL flavour than the 1.0 coils and a smoother, more relaxing vape. If chain-vaped the vapour gets a little warm but I’ve had zero issues when I calm down tbh. Definitely no leaks. Leaks are down to a faulty pod or coil, or plain old user error. I cannot recommend this device enough. Almost perfect, and certainly the best refillable pod system I’ve tried.
By Anonymous
I can't stop it leaking. Device is basically unusable
By Alex from London
Just as good if not better than the caliburn vape pens highly recommend
By Tom from Sheffield
I've had quite a few pods including argus air, pozz x, nord, nord 2 to mention a few. I usually used a drag x at home and took the smaller systems out of the house with me. This beats all of them. I use the caliburn g at home and out of the house now.
Battery lasts me about a day so I did buy another for if i go to the pub (when lockdown is over) or need to charge. Not a big deal though as it charges from empty to full in like 45 minutes or less and can vape it whilst its charging.
By Hells
A really brilliant device.
As a pod kit, I find it superior to similar devices on the market.
It has great vapour output, it's super simple to use, a good vape for switching from smoking, or a good stealth/ simple vape. Absolutely recommend it!
By Ben
Couple of years back I tried to give up smoking and tried a vape I found in store, at the time it didn't really work. I went back to smoking and then saw this option and since I haven't touched a cigarette. Would definitely recommend this to anyone
By Dan
Really nice and simple to use, great for taking out, great vapour production. Would recommend the 1.0 coils for a more relaxed vape with still excellent flavour. Only leaks have come when i have over filled the pod so totally my own fault.
The battery is good but not great (fast usb C charging helps)
By Fiz from Walsall
this is by far the best pod system ever, the hit is really good and the flavour is really good. my whole family have this pod.
By Anonymous
I love my sub ohm tank, but there's times where I don't want to be puffing out massive clouds around my family or in public. 20 mg nic with the 1.0 ohm coils are spot on for me, good throat hit. And the auto-draw is a nice feature as you don't even need to press the button.
By Darth Vaper from London
An honest review from someone whose spent a month with this now and also had the original Caliburn.
Pros:
Nice design upgrade from the previous Caliburn, marginally better vapor & flavour - absolutely loving changing coils rather than pods, reducing plastic consumption.
Cons:
Not a fan of the drip tip - the original was much better, this leaves a little juice on the lips - not a deal breaker though. A little leaky - nothing too dramatic, but constantly have to dry out the internals with tissue - This may be due to the fact that I’m using 50/50 free base. It was also an issue on the original Caliburn. The airhole has been improved but it’s nothing to write home about - personally I would have liked it a bit tighter.
All in all it’s a decent pod system - great for taking with you when running errands, a night out or a attending an event. Not so much a game changer when your sitting at home in lock down and you have a bigger tank/mod system.
If your looking for a pod system this is the best there is, followed closely by the original Caliburn. I can’t see a need to upgrade from the original Caliburn however, unless like me - yours broke or you too would like to reduce your carbon footprint by not throwing away lots of plastic pods.
By Stu from Edinburgh
Not much to say other than buy one, buy 2! ( you will need it with battery) Great flavour
By Drum from Bristol
Amazing piece of kit. Had a few caliburn in my time so thought I'd try the Caliburn G and it's even better! It looks amazing and the big change being you can change the coils not the whole pod makes it a lot more eco friendly.
By Ryan from UK
Extremely frustrating how easily the pod goes off in your pocket, even after turning it off it sometimes finds a way to turn itself on and burn out. Since buying, I've spent more time waiting for new coils and pods to be delivered than actually being able to use the pod.
Happy with the vape experience, however the button is far too sensitive and I'm now tempted to try the Koko instead.
By Johnny from Cheltenham
PROS:
Nice flavour nothing special tho,Decent coil longevity (7-14days) feels nice&stealthy in hand but it's kind of a fingerprint magnet
CONS:
Only negative thing i have about this device is always turning the device off before putting the device in pocket is annoying because the button sometimes would fire in my jacket,otherwise it's a excellent piece of kit.
By Alan from Lancashire
After trying many different kits and devices over the years, I am happy to say I have found the one. Not only is the flavour great but the nic salts in this device hit like no other. Perfect device if you're looking to give up smoking.
By Emmi from Uk
I’m fairly new to vaping, and this little pod was right for me. Not very smoky and yet easy to clean up. My pod began leaking after 3 days so I had to buy a replacement (this was due to an incident with a coil and a fork) however since then it’s been perfect. The coil is easy to change and the liquid is easy to put into it (through the red hole at the top). Would recommend using liquids with 50VG with this vape.
By Terry from Surrey
I got the Caliburn G for Xmas and wow what a cracker! (Sorry) I already have 2 original Caliburn's which I didn't think could be bettered but with a larger battery and two types of airflow it is. Flavour off the 0.8 coil is amazing. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself, you'll be glad you did!
By Hassam from Croydon
After using the original caliburn, I couldn't see how they would be able to improve it. But they have, you can now do MTL, and DTL, just by reversing the way you insert the pod. Battery life is slightly improved, and the hits are a lot better.

This was so great I had to get another. Got another in rosy gold, and I love the color!
By Florin from London
I tried many devices and this one is the best for me.
By Fussymummy from London
Absolutely love the new caliburn this is my 3rd purchase I went for the red which is a really nice colour and good quality. It’s perfect size to hold where’s the old caliburn stick was a bit to slim which I had many accidents of dropping but this new stick has a good weight so my chances of keep dropping is a lot slimmer than I did with the old caliburn stick. Vaping with product is a lot better I can actually taste the flavours of my chosen liquid definitely recommend this
By Fussymummy from London
I also brought the green which is a really nice colour definitely would recommend to upgrade to this from the old caliburn stick. Gives great inhale without have to suck hard to get a decent vape really good quality. Great Buy
By Fussymummy from London
I took the plunge and purchased this in the grey I have the old caliburn stick but I thought I upgrade what can I say about this new caliburn stick I’m so so impressed great really nice slightly heavier than the old caliburn stick but I take that as a positive as you can grip it better and vaping with this is a lot better I’m not having to press the button to get more vape which makes it more enjoyable I really can’t fault this
By Crimson H from London
Out of any vape I have had, this is by far the best for it's price and convenience. Taste is great, it's easy to take around and simple to set up and use. Perfect for any casual or beginner vape user.
By Johnny
I'm coming over from Vaporesso, and I can say that this is a much better device, especially with the changeable coils.
Great little device. Highly recommended!
By R4PM0 from Manchester
Amazing taste for the size.
Better battery and built quality is very impressive.
Love the removable coils
By Shardy83 from West Sussex
Returning to vaping, Ive spent loads on tanks and mods in the past and quite honestly I can’t fault this little bit of kit. Its nice and discreet. I really like the feature of just inhale and it Fires up without having to press the button (which you can also do) and the battery life seems to be long lasting because if I’m honest I haven’t stopped puffing on it. For the price I paid plus getting 2 juices that came with it is a brilliant deal if you ask me...
By Dubz from Merseyside
Having tried and failed with a few different setups over the years decided to have one final try with this device. Mind blown. Absolutely perfect all round if I had to say one negative wish the battery would last a bit longer but other than that I would absolutely recommend. Smoke free over a month now and never going back!
By S.soliman
currently is the best open pod system to replace cigarettes, just try it with pure tobacco juice and u will forget about smoking
By Connor Eltringham from Rutland
I don’t usually write reviews of products. However, this is an exception. I brought the original caliburn in feb 2020. And was blown away with the life span of the pods. And the overall experience it offered. So when I saw the Caliburn G I jumped on it! And it arrived today. I started using it and I was blown away with the flavour using 6mg freebase, the hit is fantastic given the size, and the mtl and Direct to lung settings the pod offers is amazing. The aesthetic of the device is slick and can easily fit in a pocket. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for a small, but powerful vape to pick this one up!
By Jenny from Tyne And Wear
This is my first vape which I purchased to help me quit cigarettes and so far it has been going really well! I was after a piece of kit that wasn't too technical or complicated, but that would help curb cravings and be a bit of fun too. I seem to have hit it lucky with the Caliburn G. Really easy to operate and understand, and I love the modular design so that I can swap pods and coils easily and keep it clean and running smoothly. It also fits neatly into a jeans pocket and looks pretty slick too.
By JT from London
The vaper is warmer than the original and took a little getting used to. The flavour improvement compared to the original Caliburn is amazing. The battery will last a full day, barely losing its flavour in blue. So far I have had zero leaking issues. Changing just the coils is a massive bonus for me. I honestly can't find any real negatives with this pod device. Refilling is simpler and cleaner, you dont need to remove the pod to refill, just flick the cap off. Have not used my original caliburns since using this item. The whole product is an improvement in design and functionality and only for a couple of pound more.
By WAEL
Shipping was fast! What to say about the caliburn g it’s easily the best pod system out right now. I wasn’t a fan of the original caliburn I’ll say i hated it but this one is awesome definitely recommend
By Dean from Barnsley
What a vape it’s is unreal the hit from such a small device I love the usb type c and the gold touch to button I have two in black they’re great and then I’m thinking of getting two in the rose brown as they look nice will definitely be ordering two more soon best pod system ever and kicks the xros allover
By VapeAlot from London
I recently brought the Caliburn Koko and was extremely happy with the performance, but I didn't like the actual pod as it was too thin and small and felt like I was vaping on a piece of lego. I wanted the same performance but a better battery life and the CaliburnG is the perfect replacement. Performance equals the Koko (1ohm coil) and the battery lasts a lot longer. Unfortunately the life span of the coil is nowhere near as long as the Koko. I would approximate about 5ml of eliquid before the coil spoils. However, you can change the coil without wasting eliquid which is a bonus.
My only gripe is the drip tip is really difficult to pull off. I end up using my teeth but it won't come off any other way. It is seriously glued on and I'm hoping with time it'll become easier to pop off. It's also tricky to put back on again and needs to be firmly pushed down, but once it's all assembled it's a fantastic pod. Happy Vaping!
By Oatcakes from Staffordshire
Maybe minor upgrade but it really does perform fantastically. I'm using 12mg freebase, smooth tobacco by dinner lady. It surprised me as I prefer a tight MTL but with this I find I'm using the looser setting of the two options.
If you loved the caliburn this will surprise you by the vape and the quality of the device. I have the green one and will be purchasing the blue when back in stock again.
By Jay from Glasgow
Just bought this a couple days ago, used many tanks and also a vype epen 3 for ages.
So far I really like this pod kit, extremely good flavor. Very nice draw and really like the ability to choose between mtl or restricted lung.
No issues at all so far.

Great device. Looking forward to the 1.0 coils becoming available
