I own two Uwell Caliburn Tenet kits, so buying some spare pods was a must. The idea behind it was so I was able to have a few different pods on the go and easily switch between flavours. With the price of these pods it's great and super convenient. So far i have had no problem with these pods, personally i will put a little e-liquid around the bottom seal of coil so when you are inserting the coil into the pod you are not forcing it in dry, which also helps to form a good seal and I have had no leaking issues.
Thanks to Vape Club for their fantastic service as always.

I’ve found that this is honestly very simple to use and very importantly, doesn’t leak - I’ve often struggled with this issue and even with the red valve to control the air flow there is no leak - also very easy to use in terms of changing the liquid. 100% recommend.
By Scruffy from Darlington
Very well made ,sturdy,ease of use great design ..Must have for MTL vapers
By Glossy from Oxford
Lasts decently long, easy to change and quite durable
By Lawnranger from Uk
I bought 4 of these replacement pods so far to have different flavours in each during my working day and although if over filled they do leak a little but nothing major. Just wish they had a grill on the mouth piece to stop dirt getting stuck in the end.

My last pod for my Caliburn was looking a bit beat up so ordered a pack of two from Vapeclub. Good value and as always, arrived very quickly.
By Terry from Bristol
Good long lasting pods with no leaking, would recommend
By UC from London
great seals only problems due to overfilling tank.
By Rick from Manchester
Cheap and do the job needed. Easy to change and have lasted around 2 weeks per pod.
By Nathan from Teesside
I’ve used these pods in my caliburn g2 for about a year now, pods are inconsistent, with about about half leaking within a week of usage, which in turn burns out any coils. Only upside is that they are relatively cheap.
By 98cal from Guildford
Version 2 and just as bad if not worse than the original. Still constant leaking pods with their apparent new design to combat this. Not good from Uwell - a big let down
By JoAn from London
Was happy when I first started using my pod system, but then everything turned to frustration when I have to deal with leaks.
By Deckz from Inverness, Scotland
I drop my vape now and again and these plastic tops crack. Only have to buy these once or twice a year and are great value. The pod is incredibly easy to use and provides a great vaping experience. The flavor and vapor production is phenomenal, and I haven't experienced any leakage or dry hits. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an excellent replacement pod!
By Ladybird from Teeside
Love this system, pods are easy to fill and changing the coil is super easy. Would recommend this for those just starting out.
By Mo from Yorkshire
These have been great for me. Haven't experienced any significant leaking yet and I like how you only have to replace the coil for the most part. We need to make an effort to reduce waste from these devices as much as possible as more people switch to them from smoking. The airflow calibration is a great feature and turning the valve can have a massive impact on your experience, so it's worth honing in on what your favourite setting is. Not a perfect 10 from me because I have noticed very minor leakage but I have also fiddled with them a lot in search of the perfect setting. I would recommend you just choose your setting and leave it be.
By LDee from UK
When they don't leak they are fantastic, last long, 'air wheel' stays in position and they just work. But when they're bad; they're awful. They can leak from the fill hole, from the seals at the bottom and when a gap forms on the clear casing at the bottom too. Sometimes you will get one that works for weeks and others are bad from word go.
By Albert
The pods last for a long time... I bought 3 of them in June and I still didn't open the 3rd one. Excellent product!
By EggBean
These pods are okay. They do leak a little bit, but it's not enough to warrant worrying about. You just need to wipe them off occasionally when you top up your juice. The hole that leaks ever so slightly makes changing juice such an easy process however.
I did have an issue with a faulty pod, but out of the 8 I've bought, this doesn't seem to be a reoccurring issue - Vape Club were also very quick to rectify the this with great customer service.
Another thing I don't like about these pods is the way you remove the drip tip feels as though you might break the pod and sounds quite "snappy".
However, the fact you can swap out coils, clean them, refill juice, set the air flow, and reduced waste outweighs the slight issues that I'm sure they'll fix with their next vape.

So far ive had no problem with this pod. It leaks a little bit but not to bad. Its also a little difficult to set the airflow to exactly where you want it

Experience slight leaking at times but this has been rare and not too much of an issue. Durable and would recommend.
By OBH
Out of the pack, these pods are very promising. A couple of days later, they start to leak. What use are they when they continuously leak? These Pods render the whole vape device unreliable—big shame.
By Bridge W from London
As much as i love my caliburn, i seem to CONSTANTLY be having to replace them because they are SO PRONE TO LEAKING!! It seems to be done on purpose to encourage people to keep buying them but the red wheel is SO bad at blocking liquid. Dealing with one of these that has exploded in your bag and smelling like a sickly sweet child who's eaten a whole packet of haribos is awful
By Stephen M from NI
So I have 2 caliburn G2's that I swap between as one is charging the other is in use. Between those 2 I have been through 5 tanks in less than 6 months. The black piece at the top breaks after a couple of weeks every time. You have to put just too much stress on it to pop it off to refill. The most annoying part is it's not like the whole tank is broken... Just the black (mouthpiece) bit at the top.
But you can't buy that on it's own, only as part of the whole tank set up. So you end up having to replace a whole tank because the black (mouthpiece) top has broken. Inevitably because the tank has to be changed to avoid too much airflow & spitting you then have to waste all the juice in that tank, and probably have to use a new coil as well. It's just a bad bit of design.. at least offer the black segment separately to have the ability to continue using a perfectly good tank that may have just been filled (as was the case that made me write a review).
I also will back up what others have said, it's prone to leaking and has to be wiped a few times per day to stop the unit from firing on its own. It's not a lot but does probably cost you a few ml of oil over a week or so.
The caliburn g2 is a great little vape, the variably airflow design on these tanks helps that. It's handy to have but the mouthpiece issue is strongly making me look at alternatives.
By SM from Oxfordshire
These are great, love the adjustable airflow option on these, you can dial in that perfect draw, no leaks so far either, very happy.
By Jayisred5 from London
Coming from the G1 to the G2 Caliburn, this pod is so much better with the air flow control. The thinner mouth piece is also much more comfortable to use. Plus it's well built and easy to replace.
By Spacehaul from Somerset
This is a great vape with lots of flavour due to the design and good quality coils. However they do leak. There seems to be a tiny hole in the bottom (part of the design) built in obsolescence is not a good strategy for environmental friendly product design. If Caliburn want to stay ahead of the curve they will do something before the law forces them to. I would suggest at least using recycled plastic or at best creating a long lasting pod that doesn't leak. Also they don't always clip in and stay air tight. If your not careful the snap on mouth price cracks when removing to re fill. A frustrating product to have to buy for an otherwise quality kit.
By Jean-Paul from UK
The device (G2) and coils are better than average, but the pods are not so great.
They leak randomly, so I have to wipe it several times per day.
I think that 10/20% of the liquid per fill is lost because of leaks.
When the pods leak on your hand while driving, walking or other situations in which tissue paper is not immediately available, it’s really annoying.
They really need to update these pods because I would be not surprise that some people give up on the Caliburn G2 because of these leaking pods.
By Gigachad from Hull
First of all, they're a little bit leaky. They don't leak out of the device/the juice doesn't get on you which is good but juice pools underneath the pod inside the device which can cause the device to be a bit glitchy like firing up when it isn't meant to. It's not much of a pain but you need to clean/dry it now and again. Tbf it hasn't been leaking/pooling up as much recently as I started paying more attention to how I placed the coil in and making sure the straight edge of the coil aligned with the line on the hole and also made sure it was pushed in tightly, I believe it made a difference. I probably need to clean it every 3-4 weeks at the moment. I hate vaping devices that leak but this doesn't leak in any capacity that resembles how other pods leak so I wouldn't let this put you off.
The feel of it is better than the original Uwell Caliburn G as it sits in the mouth more comfortably and the best feature is definitely the air flow control. You can have it tighter than a cigarette or looser than the Caliburn G. It's a wheel so you can get the air flow very precise to whatever you prefer as opposed to the first model that has just two different settings that are both almost the same.
Only annoying thing is that they're prone to breaking (maybe). When I got this vape, the tip snapped after about a week when I snapped it off to fill it up, part of the plastic at the base of the tip broke off but vape club sent me a pack of 2 replacements & I've been using it 2 or more months now and the second one hasn't broke so maybe it was a one off? The replacement cartridges are very cheap to purchase too, less than £5 so it's not a huge deal if it breaks and if it breaks soon after getting it, vape club will cover you like I said as their customer care is great and second to none in my experience.
One thing I do not know is if the tip vets looser over time as I haven't used the second cartridge/pod long enough. On the first model, the tip eventually got loose and would come off whilst the rest of the cartridge stayed in the device but it would take a good few months for this to happen. Maybe it doesn't happen on this device but I simply don't know yet but replacements are cheap and you get 2 in a pack so it's a minor issue even if it does.
How could it be improved? I think if less force was required to snap the tip off or the tip was made of slightly softer or more plyable plastic and the hole on the bottom that fits the coil in had rubber around the edges of the hole instead of just plastic to stop any leaking...there would be no faults and it would be the perfect cartridge/pod.
Summary:
-Tip possibly prone to breaking.
- Way better air flow control.
- Better shape, feels better to use.
- Can be leaky but not to the point it's a huge issue, only leaky within the device.
- Can cause the device to randomly fire up but I think it's related to juice leaking, it's able to be managed and mine stopped doing it.
- More or less the same as the previous one but has certain improvents and is overall better...but not perfect.
- Very cheap, even if it does have certain cons to it, it's worth the money; great value.
Rating: 8/10 stars. I give it this rating as I consider 10 to be perfect with no flaws, 9 to be almost perfect with just one flaw and 8 to be a very good device but with more than one flaw.
By PeteG from Essex
Still a lot of guys saying these leak? I bought a pack and no leaks. You guys are either not keeping an eye on filling or they’ve put the coil in wrong, as I’ve said in other reviews, flat piece of the coil to the flat piece of the pod make sure they match! The coil has to be flush with the bottom of the pod, if not it’s not in right!
Great service as always from Vape Club, thanks guys 10/10
By Jb from Norwich
g2 pods great upgrade love the integrated airflow cant fault them
By Howard
I've gone through about 3 of these pods now and each one has suffered from the same leaking issue, coming out of the seam between the black bottom and the clear tank.
Really annoying and pretty messy.
By GrankFrimes from Sussex
Picked up a couple of spare pods to replace the original that I had from when I purchased my kit and am very impressed. No issues with the pods feeling loose or leaking so very happy with the quality.
By R3 from UK
Despite my vape being dropped a few times, the pods have really held up. Had them for a while now with no yellowing or any signs of leaking.
By H from London
Very leaky. Noticed the pod that came with The device leaked. Have now noticed replacement pods doing the exact same. Good for a while then within hours it leaks out the bottom of the pod. Uwell need to sort it. Back to using my Caliburn G
By Stu from UK
The top part of the pod is fine, however the bottom isn't. I've had to throw out one pod that came with the G2 for leaking and the pod I bought from these seeps alittle. It seeps where the bottom black cap connects to the tank. Everytime I refill I have to wipe it clean and leave it in the G2. If I take it out the G2 it seems to seep even more. They really need to improve the design of these imo.
By Mat from London
Well worth having a couple of pods for different flavours. Just remember to insert a coil before filling!
By Zeus from Leicester
Cheep and cheerful, good to have a few extra pods lying around for when you want to switch up the juices without wasting coils.
