Overview
This Uwell Caliburn G review looks at a compact refillable pod system using only the details printed on our own product listing, so you can judge the specifications before you order. It is a specification-based review: we have not run battery drain figures, puff counts or flavour comparisons, and we do not invent them.
On paper the Caliburn G is a small, rechargeable device with a 690mAh battery, a 15W maximum output, a 2ml pod, replaceable coils and a dual airflow system. It is priced at AED 100 on our shop at the time of writing, and the Uwell Caliburn G product page carries the live price and stock. Everything below explains what each of those numbers means for day to day use, where the listing is silent, and which other devices in our range are worth comparing.
The review is written by Ismail Hossain and follows our editorial policy. Sales are for adults aged 21 and over only.

Uwell Caliburn G review: specifications at a glance
The product listing gives the following key specifications for the Caliburn G: device type, refillable pod system; battery capacity, 690mAh (rechargeable); maximum output, 15W; charging type, USB Type-C; pod capacity, 2ml; coil technology, replaceable Caliburn G coils; airflow, dual adjustable airflow system; activation, draw-activated; dimensions, 108.3mm × 22.5mm × 12.6mm. The brand is Uwell.
Read together, those figures describe a small, low-power pod device aimed at users who want a simple, refillable alternative to a throwaway product. A 15W ceiling and a 2ml pod point towards a mouth-to-lung style of use rather than large clouds, although the listing also says the airflow supports restricted direct-lung use. It is worth being clear about what a spec sheet can and cannot tell you. It tells you the size of the battery, not how many hours it lasts for your habits. It tells you the pod holds 2ml, not how many days that lasts. We therefore keep claims to the numbers that are actually listed.
The price on our shop is AED 100 at the time of writing. Stock and price can change, so check the product page before you order. The device is sold on its own: pods and coils are listed separately, which matters when you work out your first order against the AED 100 minimum.
The model sits in our pod system range and is one of several products made by Uwell. You can browse the whole line on the Uwell brand hub, or use the Uwell Caliburn compatibility hub to see which pods and coils belong with which device.
Design, size and colours
At 108.3mm tall, 22.5mm wide and 12.6mm deep, the Caliburn G is a slim, pen-shaped device. Those dimensions are small enough for a trouser pocket or a small bag, and the shallow 12.6mm depth is the figure that makes it pocket friendly rather than the height. The listing does not state the weight, the chassis material or the finish, so we will not guess at them. If build material matters to you, ask us before ordering and we will confirm it against the box.
The listing names five colours: Black, Blue, Green, Grey and Rosy Brown. Colour choice does not change the electronics, and the same specifications apply across the range. Because stock can vary by colour, check the colour selector on the product page rather than relying on this article.
One practical point about a draw-activated device is that there is no button to find. The listing describes the activation as draw-activated, so the device fires when you inhale. That keeps the body free of controls and is part of why the Caliburn G feels like a simple tool. It also means there is no on-screen wattage setting to learn: the 15W figure is a maximum output, and the listing does not describe variable power modes.
If you want to see how the physical size compares with larger models from the same maker, the Uwell Caliburn G4 Classic review and the Uwell Caliburn G2 review cover neighbouring models in the family.
Battery, output and charging
The built-in battery is rated at 690mAh and is rechargeable over USB Type-C. Capacity in milliamp hours is only one half of the story, because the time between charges depends on how often you inhale, how long each draw lasts and how the device manages its power. The listing gives no runtime figure and no charging time, so this review does not either. When a retailer or a video quotes a precise hours-of-use number, treat it as one person’s result rather than a specification.
What the numbers do tell you is relative. A 690mAh cell is modest next to the 1600mAh battery in the Caliburn G5 Lite pod kit, which is also listed on our shop, and it is the same capacity as the Koko Prime kit. A smaller battery is part of why the body can stay slim. For someone who is out for long stretches, carrying the cable is sensible whatever the capacity.
USB Type-C is a practical advantage. The connector is reversible, it is the standard on most current phones and laptops, and it means one cable can serve the whole bag. The listing refers to Type-C charging but does not give a charging current, and it does not say whether the device can be used while charging, so we make no claim either way.
The 15W maximum output is a ceiling. In a device of this class the practical effect is that heat and vapour output stay moderate, which suits the smaller 2ml pod. Anyone who prefers a high-wattage setup will find the Caliburn G limiting, and should look at the larger devices on the pod system buying guide.
Pod, coils and airflow
The pod holds up to 2ml of e-liquid. Two millilitres is a small reservoir, which keeps the device compact but means more frequent refills for heavy users. The listing does not state whether the pod fills from the top or the side, so check the product page images or ask us rather than assuming.
The coil technology is listed as replaceable Caliburn G coils. This is the key design choice: instead of throwing away a whole sealed pod when the flavour fades, you swap the coil. That generally lowers running cost over time and creates less waste. If you are still deciding between refillable and sealed formats, read our guide to refillable vs prefilled pods. The listing does not give the coil resistance, so we do not quote one here; confirm the exact coil and pod you are buying with the pod compatibility finder before checkout.
Airflow is described as a dual adjustable airflow system, and the listing says the device supports both mouth-to-lung and restricted direct-lung styles. In plain terms, the airflow lets you move between a tighter, cigarette-like draw and a slightly more open one. We cannot tell you which setting a given person will prefer, because that depends on the e-liquid and personal taste. What the specification does confirm is that you are not locked into one draw.
Spare parts are worth planning for. Because the device is sold without pods or coils, a first order usually needs the device plus at least one coil and some e-liquid. Our pods and coils buying guide explains how to match parts, and the empty pod cartridge review and the GPP 3ml pods review cover two related consumables.
Pros and cons
These points come from the listing and from basic arithmetic about the specifications, not from long-term use.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Refillable with replaceable coils, so no sealed pod to discard | Pods and coils are sold separately from the device |
| Slim 12.6mm body with a 108.3mm length | 2ml pod means more frequent refills |
| Dual adjustable airflow for MTL or restricted DTL | 15W maximum output is modest |
| USB Type-C charging | 690mAh battery is smaller than newer Caliburn models |
| Priced at AED 100 on our shop | Weight, material and coil resistance are not listed |
The list of cons is mostly about what you still need to buy and what is not stated, rather than about faults. That is typical for a specification-led review: the value of the device depends on how well its specifications match your habits.
How it compares with similar Uwell devices
The table below puts the Caliburn G next to three Uwell devices on our shop, using only each product’s own listing. In this Uwell Caliburn G review the point of the comparison is not to name a winner but to show where each model trades size against battery and capacity.
| Device | Price (AED) | Battery | Max output | Pod size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uwell Caliburn G (this device) | 100 | 690mAh | 15W | 2ml |
| Uwell Caliburn Koko Prime Kit | 110 | 690mAh | 15W | 2ml |
| Uwell Caliburn X | 120 | 850mAh | 5–20W | 3ml |
| Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite Pod Kit | 80 | 1600mAh | 35W | 3ml |
The Koko Prime Kit shares the Caliburn G’s battery, output and pod size, and its listing says it takes Caliburn G coils, so the two are close relatives; the Koko Prime Kit review covers the differences in extras. The Caliburn X steps up to 850mAh, a 5–20W range, a 3ml pod and an OLED display, at AED 20 more. The G5 Lite Pod Kit lists 1600mAh, up to 35W and a 3ml pod at a lower shelf price of AED 80, but its listing names GPP pods, so confirm pod and coil fit before treating the two as interchangeable.
That last row is the most useful reminder: price alone does not tell you which device is cheaper to run, because pods, coils and your own habits matter. If you are still choosing, the starter pod kit guide sets out the questions to ask first.
Who it suits and who should look elsewhere
It may suit you if you want a small refillable device with a simple draw-activated operation, you prefer replacing a coil to discarding a whole pod, and you are comfortable with a low-power, 15W-class setup. The slim body also suits people who want something easy to carry.
You may want to look elsewhere if you want a larger pod, a bigger battery or a wattage range you can adjust. The Caliburn X and G5 Lite Pod Kit in the table above both offer more capacity. Anyone who wants a built-in screen, variable power or a very large reservoir will also be happier with a bigger system.
Think about the whole purchase. A device-only listing, plus coils and e-liquid, adds up. The shop has a minimum order of AED 100, and a single device priced at exactly AED 100 meets it, but any order below that will not go through. Orders under AED 350 pay a flat AED 30 delivery fee, so grouping a coil or spare pod into the same order can make sense.
