Overview. This Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini review is a specification-based look at the compact Caliburn pod kit listed on our shop at AED 100. It is a rechargeable, refillable kit with a 1100 mAh battery, a 35W maximum output, USB-C charging and support for Caliburn GPP pods. The kit weighs 46 grams and measures 112.7 mm by 24.1 mm by 14 mm. We have not invented hands-on results here, so every figure below comes from the live product listing or from the listings of related products on our shop.
The question most buyers ask is whether a mini kit gives up too much to be small. The listing gives a fair starting answer: the G4 Mini keeps the 35W ceiling of its larger siblings and takes the same GPP pod family, while the battery and body are smaller. Whether that trade suits you depends on how you vape, and this page sets out the facts so you can decide.
The kit is listed on the Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini pod system kit page, which carries the current price and stock. Browse more devices in the pod device category. These products are for adults aged 21 and over only.

Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini review: what the listing says
The listing title is Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini Pod System Kit, in the pod device category. It gives nine specification lines: dimensions, weight, materials, maximum wattage, battery capacity, charging, pod capacity and compatible pods, plus the brand and category. The description calls it a compact and lightweight kit that suits portable use, with a built-in battery and a body made from aluminium alloy, PC and PCTG.
The pod capacity line reads 3 mL or 2 mL, with the smaller size marked TPD-compliant. That means the kit supports two pod volumes, a 3 mL standard pod and a 2 mL pod made to the European tobacco products directive size limit. Which one you receive or buy depends on the pod version, so check the pod listing before you order. The compatible pods line names Caliburn GPP pods.
The description also says the 35W output suits both mouth-to-lung and restricted direct-to-lung styles. That is a statement about what the hardware supports, not a test result, and the real feel will depend on the pod and coil you pair with it. The listing does not publish a puff count, a battery runtime or a charge time, so we do not offer one.
Size, weight and build
At 112.7 mm tall, 24.1 mm wide and 14 mm deep, the kit is slim. The 14 mm depth is the dimension that matters most for pocket carry, because it decides how flat the device sits against a shirt or a bag lining. The weight of 46 grams is light for a rechargeable pod kit with a 35W ceiling, which is a useful number if you like to carry your device all day.
The materials line lists aluminium alloy, PC and PCTG. Aluminium alloy is a common choice for the frame because it is stiff for its weight. PC and PCTG are tough plastics often used for pods and trim. We cannot judge fit and finish from a specification sheet, and the listing does not make claims about drop resistance, so this page does not either. If build feel matters to you, handle the kit in person or read the official Uwell site for the maker’s own description.
Size is where the Mini earns its name. The full-size Uwell Caliburn G4 review covers a kit with a larger battery and a colour screen, while the Mini drops those features in return for a smaller body. If you want the screen, read that review first.
The listing also notes that the device activates when you inhale, with no button to press during normal use. That keeps the controls simple, which is a point in favour of anyone who prefers to fill a pod and go.
Battery and USB-C charging
The built-in battery is 1100 mAh and charging is by USB-C. A USB-C port is worth noting because it is the same connector found on most current phones, laptops and chargers, so a spare cable is easy to find. The listing describes the charging as fast, but it gives no charge time, and it gives no runtime for the battery, so we will not guess.
What the numbers do tell you is the relative position of the Mini within the G4 family. The G4 Classic kit on our shop lists 1400 mAh and the full G4 lists 1300 mAh, so the Mini has the smallest battery of the three. Higher output generally drains a battery faster, so a smaller cell tends to need charging more often at the same level of use. The 35W maximum is shared across all three kits, which makes battery size the main difference in how often you may need a charger.
General battery care applies to any lithium device. Use a quality USB-C cable and a charger from a trusted brand, do not leave the kit charging unattended overnight, avoid leaving it in a hot car, and stop using it if the body swells or becomes unusually warm. Heat is a real concern in the UAE summer, so keeping the kit in a bag instead of on a dashboard is sensible advice.
The cost angle is straightforward. The listing points out that a rechargeable 1100 mAh battery reduces ongoing cost compared with disposable devices, since you do not discard the hardware. The ongoing spend is pods and e-liquid. See our guide on refillable vs prefilled pods to see how that cost splits.
Pods and vaping style
The kit takes Caliburn GPP pods. The separate Uwell Caliburn GPP 3ml pod cartridge listing names the G3, the G4 and the G4 Mini as compatible. That pod is a refillable cartridge with an integrated mesh coil and a magnetic connection, offered in 0.4 ohm, 0.6 ohm, 0.9 ohm and 1.2 ohm versions, and it is priced at AED 40 on our shop. The listing describes both mouth-to-lung and restricted lung use and says filling is by top or side depending on the version.
Lower resistance pods such as the 0.4 ohm and 0.6 ohm versions are generally paired with higher power and looser airflow. Higher resistance pods such as 0.9 ohm and 1.2 ohm generally suit tighter, cigarette-like draws at lower power. That is a general rule, not a test of this kit, and you should pick a resistance that matches the way you like to vape. Our review of the Uwell Caliburn GPP 3ml pods goes through that listing in more detail.
Because these pods are sold separately from the kit, plan for the pod purchase when you budget. A kit and a pack of pods together will exceed the AED 100 minimum order comfortably, which is one practical reason to buy them together. If you are unsure which pod fits which device, use the pod compatibility finder and read the pods and coils buying guide.
Filling and changing are routine. Fill the pod upright and slowly, leave a little air at the top, wipe the rim and seat the pod firmly. Give a fresh pod a few minutes to soak before the first puff. Our guide on how to change a vape coil covers the general principles, even though GPP pods have the coil built in.
A practical way to use these numbers is to think about your day. If you are out for long stretches without a charger, a 1100 mAh battery is the figure to weigh against your own habits, and a second device or a power bank with a USB-C cable can cover the gap. If you are usually near a desk or a car charger, the smaller battery matters less, and the lower weight and slimmer body may count for more.
Colour options
The listing shows an unusually wide palette for a compact kit. Names include Bright Pink, Champagne Gold, Coast Gold, Dusty Indigo, Grass Green, Lake Blue, Light Silver, Night Black, Paddy Green, Phoenix Purple and Slate Grey, along with more shades on the product page. The listing frames these as a way to match your style, and a few are muted while others are bold.
Availability of each colour can change, and we do not list stock by colour here, so check the product page for what can be ordered. If a specific colour matters to you, confirm it before you place the order and note that photos on a screen can differ from the real finish.
How it compares with other G4 kits
The table below sets the Mini beside two other Caliburn G4 kits on our shop. The figures are taken from each product page, and the Mini is in the first row.
| Kit | Battery | Max output | Pod capacity | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini | 1100 mAh | 35W | 3 mL / 2 mL (TPD) | 100 |
| Uwell Caliburn G4 | 1300 mAh | 35W | 3 ml side-fill | 120 |
| Uwell Caliburn G4 Classic | 1400 mAh | 35W | 3 ml | 120 |
The pattern is clear. All three share the 35W ceiling and the 3 ml pod size, so the Mini costs less and carries a smaller battery. The G4 adds a 0.85 inch colour screen and Storm and Waves modes, and the G4 Classic adds adjustable airflow and either draw or button activation. Our Uwell Caliburn G4 Classic review covers the larger option.
Pros and cons
This table collects the strengths and limits that follow from the listing.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Light at 46 grams and slim at 14 mm deep | Smallest battery of the three G4 kits compared, at 1100 mAh |
| 35W maximum output | Pods are sold separately, so budget for them |
| USB-C charging | Takes Caliburn GPP pods only, per the listing |
| Supports 3 mL and 2 mL TPD pod sizes | No puff count, runtime or charge time on the listing |
| Lowest price of the G4 kits compared, at AED 100 | Heavy users may refill and recharge more often |
Who it suits and who can skip it
The Mini suits adults who want a small, light rechargeable kit and who accept a modest battery in return. Its 35W ceiling gives room to choose between tighter and looser pods, and the GPP family offers four resistances. If you are choosing a first device, read our best beginner pod kit page alongside this Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini review so you can compare approaches.
You might skip it if you want a screen, extra modes or the largest battery in the range, in which case the full G4 or G4 Classic is the better match. You might also skip it if you want a sealed, no-refill device, in which case the pod system buying guide helps you weigh the options. Other kit reviews worth a look are the SMOK Novo 6 review and the Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano review.
