Incredible device, great coils, easy to refill and with no mess, very well made. My favorite so far. 1.2 ohm coil is the best for real mtl flow
By Rtho
Good size ecig, good value for money. Bad points is the tank sometimes leaks
By Jayisred5 from London
Got the G2 after using the G1 for a couple of years. With its bigger battery, better window for viewing how much juice you have and vibrate function for charging and coil replacement. It’s worth paying extra! It also has a better draw control so you can customise your pull better. Superb vape!!
By Ian from Gods Country Wales
Good things do come is small packages. It’s a very discreet, easy to use and does exactly what it should do.
By Milosz from Birmingham
The worst vape I've ever used. Constantly leaking through the air holes. Also, I would like to meet this genius who thought putting a vibration motor in a vape would be a great idea. Totally pointless, plus it goes off every couple seconds while charging - happens with multiple cables so it's not an issue with a broken cable.
Do not buy, you'll be disappointed.
By Duncan from Nottingham
I've been using this device for around 5 months now and I have to say I really like it. Flavour is absolutely superior to any other pod kit I have tried. I have had a few issues with wear and tear, plastic cracking on the mouth piece and the button not working correctly etc, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bit of effort. I'd recommend this to anyone who's new to vaping for its simplicity, but also to any seasoned vaper who is looking for a well rounded, flavourful, everyday pod system
By Ed from West Sussex
I received the product at 10am this morning after ordering it at 11am the previous day so very impressed with service.
I've been looking for an alternative to Elfbars as they are very costly and extremely non environmentally friendly. The Caliburn g2 filled with Bar Juice 5000 is a perfect alternative. The g2 feels premium with a metal body and nice weight. This is my first non disposable vape and I found it extremely easy to fill and generally use.
The adjustable air flow is a great feature and allowed me tweek the draw to match that of an Elfbar.
All in all I'm very pleased with the Caliburn g2 and very impressed with the service provided by vapeclub.
By Go from Derby
Bought g2 to replace my faulty a2 due to leaking pod,the good think about it is bigger battery,the charging cable is included other than that nothing really better,i find usless airflow adjust wheel,the draw isn’t satisfying as from a2 too airy for me,and it’s even more leaking than my a2,so i end up buying another a2,to compare A2 with G2 A2 is winner all the way,it might be a good kit on the market but after using a2 it s not really good,very leaking pods on g2 be ready
By Abbey
Love this vape! Small enough to carry in your pocket with no bulk. Battery life is pretty good considering it’s size. Easy to refill and replace the coils - much prefer this system to replacing the whole pod in the previous model, and less waste. Bought in Bi-pride colours which is an added bonus :-)
By Gigachad from Hull
This is mainly a review comparing this device to the previous model but I am aware there are also people that don't have the first model and are looking at reviews to simply get a new/their first pod kit. This is an amazing pod kit, very user friendly and at a very reasonable price. If you're looking for a Pod kit, then go for this. I'll start with a Pros & Cons list and then go onto to explain in detail the differences between this model and the last...
Pros:
- Aluminium body, more robust/looks better.
- Window to see juice, reduces dry hits and is convenient.
- Has vibration feature that lets you know your pod is attached/when your device is fully charged/if it has fired up in your pocket.
- Brilliant air flow control that allows the user full range meaning the air flow is appropriate for pretty much anybody.
- Better tip, shape, design & feel for the whole device, not just the tip.
- Charges up very fast/uses a USB-C port.
- Coils have great longevity, lasting a long time; longer than any other coil I've used (0.8ohm).
- Compact & lightweight but enough weight for it to feel good to hold.
Cons:
- Tip is prone to breaking when snapping it off to fill it up
- Juice pools underneath the pod which is possibly the causation for the device firing up randomly.
- As just stated, device can be glitchy, firing up randomly and sometimes not stopping for a good 10 or more seconds.
- Charging display is unreliable. Solid green is meant to mean it's charged but you can have the device last much longer if you keep it charging after solid green.
- Pod pops out when you plug in the USB-C. I'm not sure why this happens or if it's intentional and it's not much of a con really, it's not that inconvenient. It seems to have stopped recently but it did it a lot at first and sometimes still does.
- Charge doesn't last as long as the first model despite the battery having a larger capacity.
I like this device, it's very similar to the Uwell Caliburn G but there are some things about it that I don't like about it. I'll start with the negatives: Overall I think it's an improvement over the first one but there are drawbacks that barely make it better and if you have the Uwell Caliburn G then I'd advise you to stick with that and just use it until it breaks.
I never had issues with the G but I have with the G2. The first is the tip. The tip is longer and you need to snap it off the same as you do with the G. However, because it is longer, there's more leverage and it makes it prone to breaking. I had the device about 1-2 weeks and parts if the tip broke off when I took the tip off. However, I got in touch and has replacement pods sent. I'm aware the pods for these don't last forever and need replacing now and then but they shouldn't break this easily. The replacement I got seems to be alright 2+ months in so it may have been a one off but I aren't sure.
Another issue is that it doesn't leak, but liquid pools underneath the pod. This causes the device to fire up/turn itself off randomly so you need to keep it dry/clean it now and then. It's not much of an issue but it's annoying. Occasionally the device will fire up and I can't get it to stop but that hasn't happened for a while.
Last issue is that the battery has a larger capacity but I've found that it does not last as long despite this, it runs out of charge pretty fast. Idk if it's just my device or what. Another thing about the charging is it'll do what the old one did. Flashing red for low, flashing blue for medium, flashing green for high and then solid green for full. I found myself taking it off charge and using it when it got to solid green but it wouldn't last very long. I've figured out if I leave it charging 20-30 mins after it reaches solid green that the charge lasts way longer. The charging display mechanism isn't as accurate or reliable on the G2.
About the thing with it randomly firirng up. A few times it fired up and wouldn't stop and it happened quite often. Or if I pushed down on the pod it would fire up. I'd have to shake it around etc to get it to stop. It seemed to be becoming more and more of an issue but it eventually stopped. I think it's to do with the juice pooling in the buttom but I aren't sure because it happened a few times after I cleaned it. However, it stopped happening a few weeks ago and hasn't been doing it since. Maybe it was a one off so I can't really comment on this much.
Now for the positives: I love the aluminium frame, it's a huge improvement from the plastic body...much more robust and looks/feels better. Also, despite the tip possibly being more prone to breaking, it does feel better. I feel the tip is more ergonomically friendly. It's not as chunky and a bit longer, definitely sits in your mouth easier (haha yes, very funny.)
Another thing, despite the charging being as I said it is, I think it charges much faster than the first model. Even if you're vaping consistently whilst charging it, it charges up as if you're not using it and I tend to charge it using a USB splitter on my PC which has much less power. It charges super fast if you use a Quickcharge cable/adapter.
Of course, as most know, the best feature/upgrade from the first model is air flow control. The air control on this device is extremely flexible and just everything that you could ask for when it comes to air flow control. There's a wheel you use the allows for air control and you can have it so restrictive that you can barely get any air through or have it so more air gets through than the first model. What I like about this is that you can make the air flow appropriate for you. There isn't like, 1-5 settings of air flow control, you use a wheel and it's very precise which allows you to have it however you like - huge improvement.
Another improvement is the window. You no longer have to take out the pod to look at how much juice you have left. In my opinion, the window could do with being 1-3mm larger...but it's still big enough to see what's going on. I've found myself very rarely getting dry hits due to this whereas I got many dry hits with the first model.
The vibrate feature is a nice little touch. When the device finished charging it vibrates, when you take the pod in/place it back it vibrates and also when you turn it on/off. It has a nice feel to it but I don't think it's necessary to have it vibrate every time you pull out the pod and put it back, vibration uses up battery a lot and on a small device it should only be utilised whenever necessary.
I said earlier in the review that if you have a working first model you should stick with it. However, if you have the money to spare *as well* as wanting the practicality of the air flow control and the window, then I'd say go for it. However, if you like the air flow on the original and aren't too bothered about the window...then don't bother. As for flavour/clouds etc, it's the same. Maybe coils last longer in this device but I don't know, I may be imagining it but I think they do tbf. Either way, the coils last a long time like they always have.
Just remembered something else whilst typing the pros/cons that's quite a game changer. If the device is in your pocket and accidentally fires up, after X amount of second your device will vibrate to let you know that it's fired up. This happened once and saved a coil/saved it potentially blowing up in my pocket. With the last device this happeped a fair few times and nothing was in place to prevent this so it burned a few coils & wasted some juice. This feature alone I think makes the G2 worth it because not only is it convenient, but it's safe too. Safety is a priority when it comes to any electronic device so yeah, I take back the thing about "only get this device if." I think this combined with the other features makes it worth the upgrade.
Summary: As a whole, as in not comparing it the the previous model, it's a fantastic pod kit. It's affordable, reliable, strurdy, works well and has pretty much everything you'd need from a pod device. It definitely could be better but it's still great.
By Jen from London
I bought this after trying several disposable vapes. It has a similar throat hit and feeling to a disposable and the adjustable airflow helps to replicate smoking cigarettes. The device has been rolling around in my handbag and never leaked. I found that the liquid can come out when you inhale after refilling, but I think I may have been overfilling it. Overall great device with a decent battery.
By Anonymous
This is a brilliant vape, I’ve had the previous models but the better battery life on this one is great and the added features of auto switching off, and vibrating once charged has been great.
By PeteG from Westcliff
I wrote a review out but forgot to say the good points on the new Caliburn G2 pod kit.
The fire button has been lowered now so it’s flush with the body so no more setting it off in your pocket! The air control is brilliant! Now you can adjust to how you like it, whereas before you had to pull the pod out and turn it around so it was either too tight or too loose.
It vibrates to let you know the pod is seated right, saves you pushing it down to hard (imo)
One slight niggle is the pod top, when you refill you need a bit more elbow grease to get it off, but with using it more it’ll wear in hopefully.
All in all I’m very happy with the new Caliburn G2 totally recommended, just put the coil in properly and you’ll be glad you bought it. I’ve just ordered another one! lol
By PeteG from Westcliff
A lot of people are saying this leaks??? I can only assume PEOPLE ARE NOT PUTTING THE COILS IN RIGHT???? Match the flat piece of the coil to the flat piece on the pod and it DONT LEAK! Its not rocket science! Oi vay!! Don’t forget to put a bit of juice in the 4 holes around the coil and a couple down the top to get better wicking.
Brilliant bit of kit and excellent service from Vape Club as always.
By P from London
"If the kit vibrates and won’t fire it indicates an issue with the kit."
Indeed, less than a month in, this happened.
The kit never left my office desk, so it was well taken care of.
When it worked, it wasn't too bad, but it's just too flimsy and untrustworthy if it breaks after 3 weeks.
By JB from Norwich
great little device ive got 3 of them they charge fast and last a fair while perfect when I'm cycling super easy to use super easy to fill up highly recommend
By Jambug from Manchester
Had the Caliburn G for ages which was great, thought we’d try the G2. Bought 2 for my partner and I both impressed with the product but both have major issues with the pod leaking. Took the pod out over night and when we came back to them in the morning the tank was near empty in a pool of liquid. Only down side, nice vape, quick charge
By Jean-Paul from UK
I have been vaping for the past couple of years.
I started with the "Upends Uppen Plus pod kit" which was a nightmare. Very weak flavour and coils burning halfway the first fill.
So I moved towards disposables but became very pricey in the long run.
I then I bought the Elf Bar Mate 500 with pre-filled pods. It is very good, cheaper than disposables, flavour is nice (especially banana), it is good quality, but I wanted to target a cheaper option.
So I bought the Caliburn G2.
So here are the pros:
- Fifth refill and the coil provided (1.2 ohm) is still going good. Very impressed.
- Charge quickly.
- You can adapt the air flow.
Cons:
- Slight leaking happens for unknown reason. Nothing too bad though.
- The flavour is not has good has I thought after reading reviews. But it might be because I use the 1.2 ohm coil in it. The 0.8 ohm might be better for the flavour. (Haven’t tried yet)
- The initial cost of the device (£23) seems a bit high compared compared to the Elf Bar Mate 500 (£8).
From what comes with it, it should be sold £15. (Because of the pod and 2 coils)
So far, it is the cheapest way to vape that I found.
By PJ from East Sussex
Loved the colour, liked the design, liked the taste & thought this is the one for me UNTIL oh no it leaks … New pods, new coils & still it leaks, an absolute waste of money … Maybe just a bad lot but it’s now only fit for the bin … Am now ordering a new kit & different brand
By Ross from North Wales
I loved the one I bought so much I decided to buy another of vape club for my partner as a little present , she absolutely loves it and wouldn’t use her old smok device again. These are definitely a bargain and much better flavour and value than disposables.
By Brandon from London
I did quite a bit of research before i started my vaping journey and did research on the best device to start with and the UWELL Caliburn kept coming up with great reviews so i decided to purchase it along with the Element nick salts ( plain Tobacco flavour high strength 18mg ), and never in my wildest dreams did i think it would actually make me stop wanting to smoke roll ups . i am now two days roll up free and its going well considering i was a very heavy smoker , ( i am truly amazed that vaping can help/make you stop smoking cigarettes/roll ups .. its early days but this is the first time in my life since i started smoking 30 odd years ago approx , that i have not smoked a cigarette or roll up , and thanks to this Caliburn g2 and i must stress the Elements Tbc plain tobacco E liquid i think i am on to a cigarette/roll up free life
As for the unit itself i am so glad i chose this device, its very simple to use and fill up with juice and the build quality is very nice , i will be purchasing another as a spare and ordering one for my sister as i write this review !
Ps i must also say that VAPE CLUB has been excellent the fastest delivery of any company i have ever dealt with and great advise full 10 stars from me
Trust me people this device 1000% works
By Amymeenyminymo from Watford
Bought myself a Caliburn G2, arrived Friday morning (31/3/22) and I am writing this review on Monday afternoon (4/4/22) after using the smok Nord 2 for 7 months, which I will add I loved and helped me stop the dreaded ciggies…but I started using elf bars as flavour was my goal and the Nord just wasn’t giving me that at all, few hits and fine but then it was dull and pretty muted but I was up to £5 a day on these elf bars and it wasn’t a way forward for me personally. Fast forward to my experience with this new pen the G2 and all I can say is it’s been one of the most amazing vape experiences to date!!
I set it up and it came pre-charged with the 1.2 coil in the pod, popped in my juice of choice and I was off. The flavour was spot on and hasn’t lost integrity at all since then to be honest it’s hit just as good. I’ve been able to play around with air flow and cater my drag to how I felt at the time and I really am not disappointed at all!!! I’ve even changed juices maybe 3-4 times trying old ones I thought I didn’t really like because the flavour was off and it turns out they are spot on in this device and every change of juice hasn’t been carried over to the next all off the same coil. I am so pleased with this i can not tell you.
Reviews say it can be leaky and as yet i have not experienced this with this device but my smok leaked like the titanic and I stuck that out so that remains to be seen thus far.
It charges fast and can be used on charge but not with the cable provided as it’s about 5 inches long and you will face plant the wall but with a different cable it is possible.
It’s a really lightweight small device and easy to carry around with you wherever you go and the charge lasts me a whole day and I vape a lot so it’s great there. This really was a great investment for me as I am a flavour vaper over clouds but this does produce a decent size cloud as well but that’s not what I’m here for.
Defo not disappointed here and am looking forward to trying new juices again and saving myself money not using disposable pens!!
By Callam from Scotland
First I will mention the problem my partner had with hers, the button on her first Caliburn G2 would occasionally stick causing the juice to sizzle and bubble and the coil to burn out, you could see that the mesh had turned brown. This seems to have just been bad luck though because she got herself a new one elsewhere and hasn't had the same problem. This is the only reason I have given 8 stars instead of 10.
Mine however has been absolutely great! The fact you can take a draw without pressing the button makes it feel much more like smoking a cigarette which has been a big help with quitting tobacco. I was a 15-20 a day rollup smoker and I have now been completely off the cigarettes for 2 weeks. Its a comfortable size to hold in your hand, has a bit of weight to it which feels nice. The battery easily outlasts a full work day including the commute, I find it needs a charge in the evening though when I get home but that works for me.
Replacement pods and coils are affordable plus I can't see why the pod itself would ever need replaced unless it cracked or something. I have dropped this loads of times on all kinds of surfaces including concrete pavements and it doesn't seem to have done any damage. I have only just replaced the coil for the first time and that is only because I was accidentally trying to take a draw when the tank had ran dry and I think I burned the mesh, it was still just as flavourful as day one before this. I have been vaping much more than I smoked too due to the convenience of not having to roll first, which makes this even more impressive. Would be even better if it could hold a bit more juice, i'm finding I need to refill it about 4 times a day but as i've so recently quit smoking I am using this far more often than I hope to be so it shouldn't be so much of an issue, and its certainly not a deal breaker!
Absolutely would reccomend!
By Vapeooo from Yorkshire
Obviously they are only going to improve the caliburns but this one is such an upgrade, smooth vape and good design
By Louiw from Norwich
Its a very good kit and worth the money. Very light weight and i can see why its a best seller. I got the gradient kit but lost it on a bike ride. Will be buying again in future.
By Ross from North Wales
Great bit of kit , easily the best flavour I have had of a pod kit , great battery lightweight and fits in your pocket .
By Muni from London
Honestly this is the best pod vape I have ever purchased to date. I currently vape on the 1.2 and it gets the job done for me . Coming from quitting smoking this has helped me a lot .
By R3 from UK
Great kit, battery lasts all day and charges very quickly. A lot better then the previous version and being able to control the airflow on the pods helps as well.
By Sam B from West Yorkshire
Bought this to use as a spare in addition to the Caliburn G. I wouldn't say it's miles ahead of the G, I find the mouthpiece harder to remove and it's really leaky so need to use a cloth everytime I want to refill. Battery life is great though and it's fine to use as a spare.
By Autz92 from Portsmouth
Was a good product, good battery and flavour until the pods decided to leak EVERYWHERE! despite caliburn knowing the problems, they still have not sorted it. I wasted so much ejuice on this kit, I definitely DO NOT recommend it unfortunately:(
By Amylou
I'm new to vaping, so I read reviews on this and decided to purchase it after using geekbars. I love it. I haven't experienced any leaking, it's easy to use and the battery charges really fast. Can't fault it - my husband has bought one for himself too.
By TS from Northants
Having started vaping with a Caliburn G I wondered whether the airflow would make any difference or whether it was just a gimmick and wow it works really well, and a definite improvement on the G, with a little bit of patience it works great and you can set it for exactly how you like to vape.
Highly recommended.
By Brit from UK
Most of the things about this are good. Except.. The chamber.. Or 'pod' will leak a little and is a faff to re-fill sticky hands every time, need a cloth to handle it. Sorry just being honest.
By Antony from UK
It charge by USB-C is much faster than micro-usb charge. The battery can use for about 2 days. With a good battery life but not so heavy.
Also, It is very convenient to refill the juice. If I need to refill the juice 1-2 times a day also very easy.
By TRE from London
I did some research and this kept popping up, so so glad I got this one, so enjoyable and so easy to use. Love the fact it’s easy to fill too.
Having the choice of pressing the button or auto fire is awesome also.
Feels light in the hand, easy breezy :)
By Henry
Having used the original caliburn for ages I decided to pick this up. Battery life is great, charges quick! Flavour is great, coil seems okay so far. Much better to replace the coils rather than throw the whole pod out! Will probably stick to the 1.2 coil as the 0.8 is a bit much for me!
By WMN from Dunstable
Bought this because I wanted a lightweight device to carry around with me. After reading great reviews about Uwell, I bought this one. A fantastic device! Nice and small and very light. The adjustable airflow is great along with being a satisfying vape. Only criticism is the mouthpiece can be a little difficult to remove when filling the pod. But overall., top marks! Recommended.
By Rish from London
Bought this device in addition to the Nord 4. This is the perfect thing to carry for a night out. Coils last very long, doesn't taste burnt when the flavor runs out. Vibration is a nice touch for the pod (key for me, as i've had some devices where the pods didnt register). You get a lot of vapour out of this little guy, which means it uses up that 2ml quite quickly!
By Ngaire from England
Really happy with this so far. The coil seems to last ages and it is quick to charge. The pod that initially came with the battery didn't click properly but great customer service from vape club replaced it straight away and it's all working well now.
By Lance from Amble
By far the best pod I’ve ever used. Flavour is superb, coils last a lifetime and fully charged within an hour. Excellent.
By Stu from UK
In the house I use a T22 Pro but that isn't convenient to carry around outside. The Uwell G2 works prefectly for this, its smaller than I thought and very easy to put in your pocket on the go. The vibration bit is a bit silly IMO and not needed but the device and package is well put together.
By H from London
Good product. It’s marginally better than the G, not hugely. Airflow is good and works well, can narrow down to a really good MTL or open up for DTL. Flavour is decent, I wouldn’t say it’s miles beyond the first G, marginally maybe. It’s light and well built, prefer the mouthpiece on this to the G as well so that was a plus. No leaks as of yet, but could potentially see leaks through that AFC ring. Would have liked the airflow to be external on the device as it’s a pain having to keep removing the pod to get the right air flow. The vibrating or haptics, it’s a bit gimmicky for me. Makes sense when the device is being switched on or off but a bit annoying when it vibrates while using or if removing pod etc. charged very quickly and battery life seems a big upgrade to the G. All in all a good device and probably the best pod kit available right now. As always, superb delivery from VC!
By Alvin from Kent
Only recently got into vaping to cut down on the amount i smoke and started with a Smok Rpm2 but needed something smaller and not as heavy to carry around in my pocket for work. The Caliburn G2 is amazing for this powerful enough and easy to refill and the perfect size and weight!
And vapeclub.co.uk delivery times are amazing!
By Wael Abu
This my best purchase ever. The device is amazing. theadjustable airflow is unbelievable amazing, battery life is very good.
By Mat from London
The best pod system available by far. The adjustable airflow is great, viewing window is so much better. If your looking for device to replace disposables, this is it. Instant draw activation, my only gripe is you cant have it on auto draw only. I really feel the fire button is unnecessary, but an otherwise perfect device.
By Zeus from Leicester
Great device! If Caliburn G and Caliburn A2 had a baby it would be this! Firstly the improved mouthpiece is so much more comfortable, not as bulky as the original caliburn. The airflow control is unbelievable, dial it down for the tightest MTL draw I've ever witnessed on a pod device or keep it fully open for a smooth restricted direct to lung vape. The flavours come through so strong and flavourful. As with uwell they make some of the best coils on the market and which last me around 2 weeks with moderate use (eLiquid: Beyond kiwi passion kick) battery life has also improved I easily get a full days use of this before needing to charge it (moderate use). The eLiquid window is really useful too, no more having to take the actual pod out to check juice levels. Solid device 10/10 and I love the green colour. Beware there is no way to disable to fire button so ensure the device is switched off before putting it in your pocket/bag to prevent unnecessary firing.
