Starting with the Caliburn G3…

The Caliburn G3 is Uwell’s first device to support the GPP. Ideal for both MTL (Mouth to Lung) and DL (Direct Lung) vaping, the Caliburn G3 has an integrated 900mAh battery that supports Type- C USB fast charging and up to 25W max output, making for some top-notch on-the-go vaping.


Made from a high-quality alloy, this provides a lovely finish along with impressive durability. The device comes in 11 gorgeous metallic colour ways, so there's plenty of variety for you fashionistas out there.


As part of the GPP, the Caliburn G3 comes with two different pod resistances right out of the box—0.6 Ohm and 0.9 Ohm—which are top-fill and packed with Uwell’s iconic Pro—FOCS flavour technology for extremely impressive flavour development and coil longevity.


Thanks to the dual airflow system, which supports dual-firing modes (draw and button), you can enjoy your vape however you like, including switching between different airflow styles. It also includes a locking mechanism to prevent the fire butting from accidentally going off in your pocket. Nifty.


Lastly, its small OLED display shows key information like wattage and battery level at a glance so you can stop sweating the small stuff and focus on enjoying your vape.

Built from a tough zinc alloy, this device easily survives everyday bumps and scrapes. It also comes in six beautiful metallic colours.


A dual-firing mechanism (draw and button) is present and with 2A fast charging via Type-C USB, the 1000mAh battery will stay topped up all day without issue. Adjustable airflow allows precise control whether you’re looking for an MTL or RDL vaping experience.


Adjustable wattage from 5-35W pushes the boundaries of what a pod kit can do, and it comes with 0.4 Ohm and 0.9 Ohm pods to suit different vaping styles.


Of course, this device is compatible with the GPP and has Pro-FOCS flavour technology, allowing for seamless pod swapping and excellent flavour production.

There are no fiddly buttons or settings here. An auto-draw feature ensures the perfect puff every time, and dual airflow controls accommodate different vaping styles. The 1200mAh battery really pumps out the power to keep this device going all day long.


Talking of power, the Caliburn G3 Lite features 25W max output to create satisfying vaping sessions, while the Type-C USB fast charging will quickly top up the battery.


As is the theme with the G3 series, the G3 Lite is GPP compatible, fitting all the G3 pods available. It comes with a 0.9-ohm top-filling pod that features FeCrAl mesh technology along with Pro-FOCS flavour technology.

Now for the Caliburn G3 Pro KOKO…

The G3 Pro KOKO takes all that was good about the G3 Pro, makes it even better, and rearranges it into a compact, unique-looking vape.


Built from zinc alloy, acrylic and PC, the KOKO is the most durable G3 device yet, allowing it to withstand substantial knocks and scrapes, and it comes in eight shiny metallic colourways that will fit with any aesthetic


2A fast charging via Type-C USB charges this device’s 1250mAh battery to 80% in an impressive 20 minutes, and all important info can be viewed on the full-colour 1.8” TFT display.


An airflow slider paired with adjustable 5-35W power means you can create the perfect MTL or DTL vape on the fly using the auto-draw function or button firing. Once again, this device is GPP compatible, and the Pro-FOCS flavour technology of the 0.4 Ohm and 0.9 Ohm side-fill G3 pods it comes with provides excellent flavour development and coil longevity.

Time for the G Pod Platform (GPP)

Uwell recently unveiled its new G Pod Platform (or GPP for short). This platform aims to make finding the right pods for your devices a thing of the past by making high-quality, feature-packed pods that fit on all G3 devices.


This innovative leap in pod design means that no matter the G3 pod kit you buy - now or in the foreseeable future - all G3 pods will fit those devices. This is something that Uwell seems to be pushing hard, and like Geekvape ’s Sonder and Q Pod range (of which you can read about in our review ), it's terrific to see a company cultivating a cross-functional ecosystem with their products.

Top & Sidefill VS Prefilled

The two different pods you can currently get in the GPP are the G3 replacement pod in either top or side fill variations and the G3 Prefilled replacement pod. “What’s the difference?” I hear you cry! Don’t worry. I'm here to give you all the juicy details.
