With the exciting introduction of the Caliburn G, we\u2019re going to explore the evolution of the Caliburn since its conception, and take a look at all the changes UWELL have introduced in their latest device. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the various upgrades and see how these affect the flavour, style, and function of the new Caliburn G. <\/p>\n

Flavour & Coils<\/h2>\n

When it came to flavour, the Caliburn was the king of all pod systems, so it\u2019s hardly a surprise that the new Caliburn G has taken that title. Capable of bringing out the very best of your e-liquid<\/a>, every puff on the Caliburn G is intense and vivid, whether you\u2019re using a smokey tobacco vape or a sweet fruit or dessert blend.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"UWELL<\/figure>\n

So what\u2019s changed? In short, the Caliburn G uses replaceable coils<\/strong>. This means you\u2019ll no longer change the whole pod – just the coil!<\/p>\n

The Caliburn series<\/a> has always been a winner when it comes to coil technology, meaning the new Caliburn G coils<\/a> really hit the mark when it comes to flavour. They\u2019re also push-fit, making it really easy to switch when you need to. <\/p>\n

The new coils are mesh, which means they use a honeycomb design. This increases surface area, leading to increased vapour production and richer expression of your chosen e-liquid. Each coil is padded with highly-absorbent organic cotton, unlocking a purer flavour with even more intensity.<\/p>\n

G coils have a 0.8ohm resistance,<\/strong> offering satisfying vapour production and a reasonable throat hit. For comparison, UWELL released the KOKO with 1.2ohm coils, and the original Caliburn had 1.4ohm coils. This means the new G device kicks up the power a notch compared to its predecessors<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not keen on the idea of a lower resistance coil, fear not – UWELL have plans to release a 1ohm coil for the Caliburn G sometime in the future. If you\u2019re a mouth-to-lung vaper, these coils will be worth a shot. <\/p>\n

Airflow & Draw<\/h2>\n

Where the Caliburn had a fixed airflow setting, the Caliburn G has a choice of two<\/strong>. Both options can be accessed simply by rotating the pod horizontally and then re-inserting it, perfect for tweaking your draw when you’re out and about. <\/p>\n

One side provides a tighter, more restricted draw, while the other is looser and airy. Which setting you choose depends on your e-liquid type and personal preference. For example, you might use the tighter setting if you\u2019re using a stronger e-liquid or a nicotine salt blend.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the new coil and airflow changes, the Caliburn G can be used with an even greater range of e-liquids. Thicker VG-based e-liquids, strong PG liquids or smooth nicotine salts are all fully compatible with the kit, and while you won\u2019t get the same cloud as you would on a box mod, the direct to lung option still offers plenty of flavour and vapour. <\/p>\n

Much like its predecessors, the Caliburn G can be activated using the button, or simply by inhaling on the mouthpiece. <\/p>\n

Battery & Charging<\/h2>\n

Both the Caliburn and KoKo had a 520mAh battery, which is still slightly above average for a pod vape. The Caliburn G has a considerably larger battery, now a whopping 690mAh, improving battery capacity by more than 30% without any significant difference in size. <\/p>\n

Although the battery has gotten bigger, this doesn\u2019t directly translate to a 30% longer battery life. As mentioned previously, the Caliburn G now uses 0.8ohm coils. Lower resistance coils use more power than higher resistance ones, which means the puff count from a full charge is roughly equivalent to both the Caliburn and KoKo – except each draw has better quality and flavour. We think that\u2019s a fair trade-off!<\/p>\n

When it comes to charging, the Caliburn G utilises a USB-C charging cable. This is a newer technology that\u2019s faster than standard micro-USB – the kind used for the majority of vape kits<\/a> right now. The charging cable, which is included with every Caliburn G starter kit, has a 1.5amp current, a significant upgrade on the Caliburn and KoKo\u2019s 1amp current.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t an exact equation that can be done, as battery health and capacity changes over time, but the Caliburn G should charge around 20% faster than the Caliburn or the KoKo, even with its bigger battery.<\/p>\n

Appearance & Design<\/h2>\n

There are a few obvious differences between the original Caliburn and the new G model, including mouthpiece shape, the texture of the device, and the button style.
\nThe Caliburn G cartridge<\/a> is similar to before, except that the coil is now inserted via the base of the pod, and the cap is now removed in a different way.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you had the original Caliburn, you may have had trouble getting the cap off from time to time. The new G model has made refilling a lot easier, as the cap can now be removed simply by ‘snapping’ it off. You no longer need to remove the whole pod from the device, either.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically, the new textured stripe body and gold-bordered button add a sleek and modern flair to what is otherwise a simple and sturdy device. The new mouthpiece also has a curved design, and is slightly wider than before, fitting comfortably in your mouth. <\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

In conclusion, we’re confident that the new Caliburn G more than lives up to the legacy of the original. While coil changes may take a while to get used to, don’t let it put you off; the variety of upgrades built-in to the new G model truly are second to none. \n<\/p>\n
