Overview
Caliburn G5 Lite vs G4 Pro is the choice most Uwell buyers in the UAE face first, and the G3 Pro and GK3 sit close behind. All four are refillable pod kits in the AED 80 to AED 120 band, so the decision comes down to battery, power and how much you want to spend. This comparison sets out the figures each listing states, explains what they mean in daily use and says who should pick which kit. It is based on the product listings on this site, not on lab testing, and our full range guide is in the Uwell Caliburn review.

Caliburn G5 Lite vs G4 Pro: quick verdict and who it suits
The G5 Lite is the value pick: its title lists 35W and 1600mAh at AED 80, the lowest price of the four. The G4 Pro lists 35W and a larger 1800mAh battery at AED 120. The G3 Pro also lists 35W at AED 120, and the GK3 lists 25W, 900mAh and a 2.5ml pod at AED 120.
For most people the G5 Lite is the one to start with, because it gives the same 35W as the Pro models for AED 40 less. Choose the G4 Pro if battery life matters more than price. The GK3 is the one to skip unless you specifically want its smaller body.
Who should buy the top pick
Buy the G5 Lite if you want a refillable kit at the lowest price in the range without giving up power. Its title lists 35W and 1600mAh, which is the same wattage as the G4 Pro and a battery only 200mAh smaller. See also our G5 Lite review.
Who should choose the alternatives
Choose the G4 Pro if you want the largest battery in the range and plan long days away from a charger, the G3 Pro if you prefer its zinc-alloy body, and the GK3 only if you already own GK3 pods. Our notes are in the G3 Pro review and the GK3 review.
Side-by-side comparison of the four kits
The table puts the four kits side by side using only figures that appear in the product titles. A dash means the title does not state it, so open the listing before you decide.
| Kit | Power and battery (from title) | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caliburn G5 Lite | 35W, 1600mAh | Lowest price, same power | AED 80 |
| Caliburn G4 Pro | 35W, 1800mAh | Largest battery | AED 120 |
| Caliburn G3 Pro | 35W, battery not in title | Zinc-alloy body | AED 120 |
| Caliburn GK3 | 25W, 900mAh, 2.5ml | Smaller kit, existing GK3 users | AED 120 |
The G5 Lite and the Pro models are closer than the price suggests. Between the G5 Lite and the G4 Pro, you pay AED 40 more for 200mAh of extra battery, which is a modest gain. The GK3 is the oldest design here and has the smallest battery and the lowest power.
What actually differs between the four Uwell kits
Beyond the numbers, the four kits differ in generation and pod. The G5 Lite is the newest and the G3 Pro and GK3 are older designs. The G4 Pro is the larger-battery version of the G4. All four are compact pod kits with a refillable pod, so the day-to-day routine of refilling and recharging is the same.
Pods and compatibility
Pods are not shared between generations. A G5 Lite pod will not necessarily fit a GK3, so check the compatibility line in the listing before buying spares. We cover the common pods in our G3 series pods guide.
Power and battery compared
Three of the four kits list 35W, so the real difference is the battery. A 1600mAh G5 Lite and an 1800mAh G4 Pro will both comfortably last a normal day for a light user, but a heavy user will reach for the G4 Pro. The GK3 at 900mAh will need charging much more often.
Higher power is not always better. At 35W a pod can run hot and use up e-liquid quickly, so start low and move up until the flavour is right. Battery figures are manufacturer claims, and real life depends on your draw and your liquid.
Everyday use and upkeep
All four kits are refillable, charge by cable and need the pod or coil replaced over time. Replace a pod when flavour fades or you taste burnt cotton, and let a new coil soak before the first draw.
In Dubai heat, do not leave any of them in a parked car, and keep the charging port dry. If a kit leaks, check the pod seal first and avoid overfilling.
UAE rules, nicotine strength and safe use
Electronic nicotine products sold in the UAE fall under a national standard, which you can read about on the UAE.S 5030:2018 standard (MoIAT). All four kits use nicotine liquids, so buy from a licensed seller and keep the receipt. Rules can change, so confirm current limits with MOIAT rather than relying on any blog post.
The NHS says vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and that it is not for people who do not smoke or for children. We sell only to adults aged 21 and over. Keep devices, pods, coils and liquids away from children and pets.
This post is general product information, not medical or legal advice, and we make no claim that vaping helps anyone quit smoking.
Price, delivery and final verdict
The G5 Lite is listed at AED 80, and the G4 Pro, G3 Pro and GK3 at AED 120 each. Prices and stock change, so check the product page before you order.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| G5 Lite is the lowest-priced and lists 35W | G5 Lite battery is 200mAh smaller than the G4 Pro |
| G4 Pro lists the largest battery | Costs AED 40 more than the G5 Lite |
| G3 Pro has a zinc-alloy body per listing | Older design, battery not in the title |
| GK3 is a smaller kit | Lowest power and battery of the four |
Our verdict on Caliburn G5 Lite vs G4 Pro: buy the G5 Lite for value, the G4 Pro for battery, and skip the GK3 unless you already own its pods. For the full range see the Uwell Caliburn review.
