Do not buy either leak instantly or leak after a few days

Leaks out of the bottom and have to constantly clean it or it causes the vape to malfunction
By Kj
Struggled to open these. Have to use a knife!
Also they leak a lot. Not worth the hassle
By Flic from England
I bought the uwell a2 as described as a beginner kit but annoyingly these little pods leak from the bottom. They work fine but it’s annoying and you have to clean it regularly.
By Tricky
Out of 12 pods recently purchased I reckon only 5/6 have been ok. Either the coil has burnt out within a day or the pod has leaked. I haven't overfilled or let them get too low and recently discovered they are leaking from the bottom. I've finally given up and have bought a Vaporesso in the hope it's better.

when looking for a vape it was essential that i found one a similar size to a disposable and one that requires no pressing off a button, there for when purchasing this it has been just what i wanted. one negative that i would say about this is when changing the pods they either last me about 3 week or about 3 days as i have found some of them have burnt really quickly, even though i have put the new liquid in a few house before first trying to use this.
By John from London
The pods are alright, however I noticed within the 4 pack there's always one that leaks, not sure why. Lasts around 1-2 weeks with daily use which is quite good. Starts leaking alot when it's time to change.
By Dal from London
Decent pods, last around 2 weeks for me (not a heavy user). Liquid turns yellow/brown when ready to change.
By Keiran from Manchester
Easiest pods to fill ever! Never have to worry about leaking again!
By Taylor19 from London
Love the idea and so much easier than changing the coil on a huge bit of kit, but I’ve had a few leaking and one where the top does not fit properly! Bit disappointed.
By 98cal from Guildford
The original Caliburn was great with pods that didn’t leak. However, the A2 is a massive disappointment. The pods constantly leak and have little flavour too them
By Sam M from London
I think these are great little pods. Big problem is the mouthpiece always seemed to break before the coil died. Which is very frustrating considering once the mouthpiece broke it would just constantly leak.
Sadly a design fault considering the amount of complaints I have seen online. hopefully something they fix in any future releases.

When I first discovered these, they were a game changer for me. I’d started to spend ridiculous amounts on disposables, telling myself but yea you used to spend more on cigarettes! But I wanted a decent saving so I hunted for a simple device, and I found the Caliburn A2.
The pods were revolutionary for me! They last me around 2 weeks. This can be with quite heavy usage, but varies. I’ve found the flavour even better if you fill your upcoming replacement pod and leave it for at least 24 hours, longer if you can. The flavour is so much more intense for the duration of the pod!
Although I think the Caliburn A2 and its pods are great in many ways, I have found that they all start leaking at some point. Some as soon as I replace one, others nearing the end of their use. I’m constantly having to take the pod out and use a cotton bud to dry where it connects to the device. Also, according to the description, you’re supposed to be able to refill without removing the pod, just remove the mouth guard bit….well, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t see how that’s possible, because I have to remove the pod and use my fingernail to flick the top off!
I think I’m going to start looking for a different device, but this has been an amazing upgrade to disposables! They just need to fix the leaking problems and the top!
By George
These pods are easy to use and replace, they last me on average a week and a half with heavy usage.
The only thing I would say is ensure that the tank is always significantly above the minimum fill line as they burn out easily when they run out of liquid.
By Jack96 from L
These aren't bad pods, however they are sometimes leaky. I find the burned flavour creeping in around every 10ml of liquid, sometimes sooner. They dont last anywhere near as long as the 1.2ohm version. Could do with a mouthpeace removal mechanism, usually have to use the vape itself to lever the lid off, causing it to ping across the room.
By AP from London
I loved these pods in my caliburn AK2. Gave me at least a week of use with no reduced flavour etc which is incredible. Taste used to spot regardless which liquid you use. I do feel like quality has gone down hill now with at times no getting more then a day or so's use before flavour goes.
By Ry from Leeds
I have used these coils for a long time now and they are spot on! Quick delivery too which is always great.
By Louby from Oxford
As others have said, these pods seem to have changed.
We have four AK2 devices, two older and two more recent. The two newer ones have already gone in the bin as they've stopped working properly. Even the older (6 months or so) have been a bit hit or miss when trying to use them, they don't always fire very well.
By Mike from UK
The flavour on these used to be extremely good, however the quality seems to have dropped considerably. They've always used to leak a little but the last pack i got flooded my Caliburn AK2 and destroyed it. Very frustrating as i was waiting for a new pack of A2s coils to be delivered from VC. Now i can no longer use them as these regular A2 coils leaked and broke my device.
I shall likely not purchase a Uwell product again, it's 2022 guys cmon why are we still dealing with leaky pods?
By Neilo from Belfast
I've thrown away more of these than i've used. That should tell you everything you need to know. Extremely disappointing as the actual system is really good just these pods CANNOT be relied upon. Most of them leak straight out of the pack. I cannot understand how this is even allowed to be honest. How are they allowed to leave the factory? Complete nonsense. I'd avoid.
By Anonymous
Loved these when they first came out! They were amazing. But they seem different now, and definitely don't last as long.. they need to bring out new upgraded ones.
I'm on the hunt for a new device altogether now....
By Jay from Sheffield
The flavour is good but they all leak and have ruined the vape, I'd avoid these like the plague.
By Philip from North Yorkshire
The pods themselves are great. Perfect for the device, hold a decent amount of liquid for the size.
I get great flavour and vapour.
Where it's hit and miss, is some pods will leak straight off the bat. Usually through the bottom. If they dont leak straight away, usually after a day or two i'll start getting some leakage.
It's rare i've had to throw a pod away due to the coil being too worn. Usually its because the bottom seals have gone and it's leaking too much.
Hopefully they make an improvement on these.
By Anonymous
These where amazing when they first came out, but I feel they have gone downhill now.
Flavour doesn't seem as good now, and they don't last nowhere near as long as when they first came out.
Could easily get 2 weeks, sometimes 3weeks of good Flavour. Now, after a week, they fall off pretty quick....
Shame because I love this device...
Gone through 4 of the caliburn a2 's
2 are still going strong..... shame about the coils.
By Mohammad from London
All 4 pods leaked out all the juice. I have filled them all up and put tissues under them yet all of them bedame empty after the 15 min wait time they tell you to wait when filling them up and the entire tissue is filled with juice. Terrible pods.
By Harry1204 from Hertfordshire
Despite the odd leaky one, I haven't really had an issue with these pods. I know they used to have an issue with the rubber seal at the bottom in the 1st gen pods but this seems to have been resolved. So simple to refill and last a while, I usually get about 5-7 days out of each one and I've always got my vape in my hand. Extremely sweet flavours can crystallise the coil quickly so I would stay away from those where possible.
By Niels from Dorset
Over half of the pods in the pack you'll end up throwing away after filling because they leak so badly. Poor quality, don't waste your money.
By Anonymous
Fantastic pods. They don’t wear out too quickly and work well. However they do leak quite frequently so be careful you are filling them up correctly and allow it to sit for 10 minutes when refilled. 50/50 e liquids work best, i’ve experienced spitting and burning with other combinations.
By VapeNate83 from Manchester
The A2 has been my constant go to pod since they were released. The pods themselves were great but now it’s just leaky pod after leaky pod which now has me on the look out for my next go to pod which is a shame as I have 5 of them and my partner has one too. Sort it out Uwell!
By Ab from UK
These are great little pods. You need to make sure the top is clicked on properly so they don't leak.
By Sie from UK
cheapest i have found these pods from a genuine seller.
Last me around 2 weeks using nic salts
By Andy Burn from UK
Cant handle using these with the constant leaks. Last one the pod was two days old and the seal let go and flooded the actual vape unit. All the others in the pack of 4 also ended up leaking.
By KatieM from Barnsley
The pods have been much improved since the first ones were released, they hardly leak anymore, you get the odd one but it’s usually due to over filling and not sealing the pod properly.
Main thing is the taste is great from any liquid and they last around a week and are easy to fill and change.
By Olly
Great little pod, great flavour, coils last ages. Perfect for nic salts. Would highly recommend
By MB from London
Good flavour and last a good week or two. Leaking issues: these pods will leak unless fully sealed. When you fit the cap you hear a click and think it's on. Push again and you'll hear a second click. I just discovered this through trial and error, but think this is a problem for many people looking at the reviews.
By T
The last 2 times I've ordered a pack of these Pods each one has leaked. It seems that the rubber bit at the bottom of the Pod comes off and causes it to leak and there's no way to put the rubber back in as it comes of inside the pod. Such a shame because I love this vape
By AJ from Walsall
Decent pods tbf, i have had a little leak on a couple previously but not every pod is going to be perfect, good value for money and a smooth vape, very good product
By Ben
These replacement pods are not the same that arrive with the Caliburn itself.
For me, 80% of these pods have had leaking issues. Even with regular cleaning with cotton tips, the liquid seeps through the holes in the device, where the contacts and magnets are and just end up breaking the vape.
I'd steer clear personally and wouldn't recommend, its shame as the caliburn is actually a really good vape i found apart from this major issue.
By Jtaylor from London
Love these, so easy to use, plenty of flavour obviously depending on what liquid you use, and the coils last a long while.
By SS__ from London, UK
I'm quite new to the vaping game, and a friend recommended the Uwell Caliburn A2. Upon adding to the basket, the 4-pack Replacement Pods were recommended. Unfortunately, i must say that they are a bit hit & miss; around 2/4 I've had to throw away after filling the e-liquid in as the liquid starts to leak in one way or another. If there are any suitable alternatives, I'd love to be directed to those, because it can be a cashloss when you buy a 4-pack and 50% aren't usable.
Nevertheless, the ones that DO work, they give a decent release and they do last a reasonable amount of time, you kind of know when it's time to switch when you get that awkward taste.
By Go from Derby
First pods were manufactured faulty on the release of A2 kit,they were very very leaking,my first A2 kit was damaged due to them pods,after that Uwell upgraded and fixed the pod leaks,still just a minor leak near magnet location,but nothing serious,i would say 0.00001 ml a day dripping through little holes at the bottom,the new upgraded pods comes with sticked film to them,that’s how to find out the ones you have,my score is 9,5 ⭐️ just due to that minor leak!
By Joe from Kent
I've found the quality of these pods has improved recently, less leakage and they consistently last me between 1-2 weeks. For reference, I go through about one and a half pods worth of juice a day.
Much better than the G pods!
By Anonymous from London
Not sure why this doesn't have 5 stars. I've been using these since February and no complaints on any on the pods. They seem to take about 7-10 days to burn out, sometimes longer depending on how much I vape and the liquid I'm using. Never using another vape again, this is a winner.
By Anonymous
I like the idea of having the coil and the pod in one piece so i thought i would give these a go. Good quality vape and you can really taste your e liquid with them. Great hassle free way to get your Nic fix!

product leaks but one in a while you'll get an amazing one which won't ever leak or anything like that I've bought around a 100 pods but never had one that had a faulty coil
By Ry from Huddersfield
These pods last me a long time! 2 weeks sometimes before I change them out. Great quality, great taste. Hope this helps!
By Buzz0710
Been using these for a while now and only had "bad" one which dumped a load of liquid seconds after filling for the 1st time, which may have been user error but luckily it wasn't in the devise. They vape very good and the A2 is my current favorite vape.
By CW from Lancashire
The pods are great for flavour, but be prepared to go through juice a lot quicker than say a caliburn or a Koko pod. Also they don't last as long either.
It's also easy to make the mistake of not placing the cap fully on after refilling, they don't always click straight on, and with that comes the leakage. If the top isn't fully tight, the pod will leak all the liquid, it needs the cap to be properly attached to form a seal.
By Alex from Exeter
The pod is decent but I feel like the quality is super random, some pods will last 4-5 days and some are bad from the start.
By Henry from London
I have been a caliburn user for about 3 years now. These pods are bad, really bad. they either dump all the liquid into the device, (which can mess the device up by making the pod short and constantly fire even with no liquid on the contacts, loosing 20 quid as i need to buy a new one.) or they burn easily. will be looking for a simular device with higher quality pods, never going to be using caliburn again, very frustrated
its a shame as i have been a caliburn user for years.
By Connor from Worthing
Have been through 10-12 of these without a problem. Flavour is brilliant and the device itself is the only one to make me put away my original koko for the first time in 2 years. The pods drink a decent amount more juice than the original though. Very sweet juices that would have burnt out the original koko pods quite quickly seem to last a lot longer in these pods aswell. My only advice would be not to stand them or the device up, as this can cause some slight leaking.
By VapeDBag from UK
Love the Caliburn A2 and its pods, There are in some cases the occasional leak but not as much as other products but not enough for me to complain. Most of the time it is bone dry. Other negative reviewers must be over filling their pods with too much juice.
By Alexandra
If they don't dump the whole contents in to the vape, you get mouthfuls of the juice instead. Such a bad product and would warn anyone from buying these.
By Calum
Most of the pods I have used have been great and just what I was looking for when I bought the A2. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is due to having several pods fail and leak excessively.
By Dave
We have gone through loads of pods either they leak from the bottom or the plastic base breaks down inside the pod resulting in all the juice inside leaking into the device, shame really we have been long time users of uwell and feel these pods to be substandard
By Anonymous
These replacement pods for the A2 are brilliant. They are the key to making the A2 such a simple device to use. You don’t have to worry about changing coils because they are pre-installed. Each pod usually sees me through about 20-30mls of nic salts, varying on the liquids used. They are much more reliable than other pods I’ve used with other vapes and I rarely have an issue with leaking and spit back. It’s the first vape and coil combo where I don’t have to constantly carry tissues to clean up a leak or expel liquid from spit backs.
By Ben from Surrey
It will not leaking if you close the pod and can hear two different side’s click sound, keep not touch the pod base holes with fingers, not fill the e-liquid over the line, I suggest use 2-3 different pods at the same time for chain smoker, each pods can last at lease 2 weeks, It’s really a very good one for taste and acceptable smoke,
I guess you will love in it for vape after you knew more about its convenient.
By Bakhre from London
Within 2 weeks, I lost 8 pods, soon after filling the new pod it start leaking from the pod base air holes.
I guess its not like the spare one we get with vape.
By Josh from Romford
cant fault them, last long and great flavour what more could you want
