Design and Build Quality
The Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite measures 111.4mm x 28.8mm x 16.3mm and weighs a lightweight 46g. Constructed from durable PCTG and PC materials, the device feels sturdy in the hand with smooth curves and no sharp edges. It’s available in eight attractive color options, including standouts like Chili Red and Space Black.
A small LED light on the device body allows you to check the battery level with a quick glance after taking a puff. The USB-C charging port and fixed airflow hole are conveniently located on the side of the device. The dual airflow system provides two basic options for customizing your draw, controlled by the position of the pod.
One of the G3 Lite’s most appealing features is the 360-degree viewing window at the top of the device. This allows you to easily check your e-liquid level without having to remove the pod, a common annoyance with other pod systems. The pods securely connect via a magnetic connection and are held firmly in place without any wobble.
Caliburn G3 Pods (GPP) and Performance
The Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite is compatible with the G3 series of refillable pods – G POD Platform (GPP), which utilize Uwell’s Pro-FOCS flavor technology. These pods are available in 0.6ohm, 0.9ohm, and 1.2ohm resistances, which are also used in the GK3 and G3 devices, catering to both mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-lung (RDL) vapers.
The kit includes a 0.6ohm G3 pod which has the side filling hole, to fill the pod is as simple as it gets:
– Push the silicon cover to one side to reveal the filling hole.
– Pop your bottle nozzle in and fill it up.
– Allow the coil to saturate for 5 minutes, and inhale to vape.
The airflow can be adjusted by flipping the pod orientation, providing a range of draws from medium MTL to tight RDL. The auto-draw mechanism may not be the snappiest on the market, but it consistently delivers smooth, flavorful hits.
The G3 refillable pods, with their fixed FeCrAl meshed coils, deliver exceptional flavor and a satisfying vaping experience. The 0.6ohm pod included in the kit provides a flavorful vape that rivals some of the best pods on the market, allowing users to fully appreciate the nuances of their favorite e-liquids.
The device intelligently adjusts its power output based on the coil resistance and remaining battery charge, ensuring optimal performance throughout its usage.
G3 Prefilled Pods and Flavor Options
In addition to the refillable G3 pods, Uwell offers a range of pre-filled 2ml capacity pods for the Caliburn G3 Lite. These pods feature a 0.9ohm coil and come in a variety of popular flavors, , making them an attractive option for disposable vape users looking to transition to a more sustainable solution.
The G3 prefilled pods are available in ten enticing flavors, including：
- Blueberry Sour Raspberry: A sweet and tangy blend that caters to those with a sweet tooth.
- Blue Razz Lemonade: A delightful combination of blueberry, raspberry, and a zesty lemonade undertone.
- Lemon & Lime: A refreshing flavor reminiscent of a lemon and lime ice lolly.
- Cherry Cola: An excellent recreation of cherry cola flavor, reminiscent of cherry cola sweets.
- Cherry Ice: A rich red cherry flavor complemented by a pleasant cooling sensation.
- Watermelon Ice: An artificial watermelon flavor with a chilled finish.
- Watermelon Strawberry Gum: A blend of artificial watermelon and strawberry flavors with a bubblegum note.
- Pink Lemonade: A solid but unremarkable interpretation of pink lemonade that could benefit from a stronger flavor profile.
- Pineapple Ice: A satisfying pineapple ice flavor featuring a candy-like pineapple taste combined with a touch of koolada.
- Strawberry Ice: A more authentic-tasting strawberry flavor enhanced by a well-balanced cooling effect.
Despite initial skepticism, these prefilled pods deliver impressive flavor that is sure to satisfy those with a penchant for sweet, disposable-style tastes.
However, there are a couple of drawbacks to the prefilled pods. The 2.5 mL e-liquid capacity may not compete with modern disposables, and the lack of transparency makes it impossible to gauge the remaining e-liquid level. Clear pods, like the refillable ones, would be a significant improvement.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout features of the Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite is its impressive battery life. The device’s 1200mAh built-in battery provides long-lasting performance, with Uwell claiming up to 3 days of vaping on a single charge.
During testing, the G3 Lite proved to be a reliable companion, lasting well into the second day of frequent use before requiring a recharge. For less frequent vapers, the device could potentially last even longer.
The G3 Lite supports USB Type-C charging, with the charging port conveniently located on the side of the device. The device charges from flat to full in under an hour, ensuring minimal downtime between vaping sessions. A small LED indicator displays the charging status and current battery level when vaping:
- Green: 60-100%
- Blue: 30-60%
- Red: 0-30%
Getting Started
Operating the UWELL Caliburn G3 Lite is as simple as it gets, thanks to its buttonless design and auto-draw system. To begin vaping, simply fill the pod, allow the coil to saturate for five minutes, and inhale. The device will automatically activate when you take a puff, making it incredibly user-friendly and intuitive.
An LED light on the device serves as a battery level indicator, displaying the current charge status each time you take a draw. A green light indicates that 60-100% of the battery life remains, while a blue light signifies 30-60% remaining charge. If the LED glows red, it’s time to seek out a charger, as only 0-30% of the battery capacity is left.
In addition to the battery level indicator, the LED light also provides feedback when inserting or removing a pod. When you insert a pod, the light will flash green twice, while removing a pod will cause the light to flash blue twice.
For added peace of mind, the UWELL Caliburn G3 Lite incorporates several safety features, including short-circuit protection, low voltage protection, an 8-second cut-off, and open-circuit protection. These measures ensure that you can enjoy your vaping experience without any concerns about device malfunction or potential hazards.
Pros and Cons
Conclusion
The Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite is an impressive addition to the Caliburn series, offering a compact and powerful pod system at an affordable price point. With its excellent flavor production, long-lasting battery life, and compatibility with both refillable and pre-filled pods, the G3 Lite caters to a wide range of vapers.
The device’s user-friendly features, such as the 360-degree viewing window and LED battery indicator, enhance the overall vaping experience. While there are some minor drawbacks, such as the limited airflow customization and the lack of e-liquid level indication on pre-filled pods, these do not detract significantly from the device’s overall performance.
