Uwell Caliburn review at a glance
The Caliburn line is a long-running family of pod kits; we stock many generations. This review covers two current kits. See the Uwell hub and our Uwell coil compatibility guide.
Uwell Caliburn review: G5 specs as listed
The G5 lists a 1600mAh built-in battery, max 35W, smart triple-tap control to switch between MTL and RDL styles, stepless airflow, Type-C 5V/2A charging and an aluminium-alloy and PCTG shell. Pod size depends on market version: 3ml or 2ml.
Pod size
Check the version you are buying; the listing gives 3ml for INT/FDA and 2ml for TPD/CRC.

| Price | AED 125 | AED 80 |
Uwell Caliburn review: Air specs as listed
The Air lists a 1000mAh battery, up to 25W, Wave and Storm modes, draw activation with no buttons, adjustable airflow, USB-C fast charging and GPP Alpha pod compatibility at 39g. It comes in eight colours.
Colours and options
The G5 listing names eight leather finishes and the Air eight solid colours. Check the product pages for stock by colour. These kits are sold without e-liquid, which is bought separately; see e-liquid for pod systems.
Value for money
The G5 costs AED 125 and the Air AED 80. A 3-pack of Uwell GPP Alpha 3ml pods is listed at AED 45.
Caliburn G5 vs Caliburn Air: what the price difference buys
The G5 is AED 125 and the Air is AED 80, a difference of AED 45. That buys a larger battery (1600mAh against 1000mAh), a higher power ceiling (35W against 25W) and the triple-tap MTL and RDL switch with stepless airflow. The Air counts on being light at 39g, with draw activation and Wave and Storm modes, and takes the GPP Alpha pod.
Running costs matter as much as the kit price. A 3-pack of Uwell GPP Alpha 3ml pods is listed at AED 45, so one pack costs the same as the gap between the two kits. The G5 pod size depends on market version (3ml for INT/FDA, 2ml for TPD/CRC), so check which version you are buying. All figures come from the listings, not our own tests.
Compared with other options
See beginner pod kits and mini and pocket pod kits.
Uwell Caliburn review verdict: which one suits you
Choose the G5 for the larger battery and the MTL and RDL switch. Choose the Air for a light, simple, lower-priced kit.
Who should look elsewhere
If you want much higher power, see pod mod kits.
