We don't just carry all the latest vape hardware. In order to earn a place in our store, an e-cigarette must truly distinguish itself during a process of rigorous testing. The Uwell Caliburn passed this testing with flying colors for one reason: incredible flavor production.
We tested the Caliburn G5 alongside numerous other modern pod systems. During testing, it consistently stood out for flavor accuracy and its ability to reveal subtle flavor notes that were muted or undetectable on many competing devices. Hawaiian White Guava, one of our most delicate flavors, performed exceptionally well on the G5 producing strong, sweet flavor and nuanced flavor notes invisible on many other devices. Delicate flavors remain clear and distinct, making the Caliburn G5 an excellent match for complex e-liquids and nuanced, natural and organic flavor profiles.
Yes. After testing dozens of devices, the Caliburn G5 is currently our #1 recommendation for most customers because of its exceptional flavor, strong battery life, adjustable airflow, and overall ease of use.
The Caliburn G5 uses Uwell GPP replacement pods. We recommend keeping extra pods on hand so you can replace them when flavor drops off or the pod begins to taste burnt.
The Caliburn G5 works beautifully with Kai's Virgin Vapor e-liquids. If you're new to refillable devices, our starter bundles pair the device with recommended e-liquids so you have everything you need to get started.
Yes. With the appropriate pod resistance and wattage setting, the Caliburn G5 can work well with nicotine salts as well as traditional freebase nicotine e-liquids.
