Uwell Caliburn G5 Pod System Review
The Uwell Caliburn G5 is a 35W pod kit with a built-in 1600mAh battery, a color screen and 3 pods in the box, one of them Uwell’s GPP Alpha pod. It takes every Caliburn GPP pod. See more from Uwell or compare other pod kits.
Caliburn G5 Highlights
3 Pods in the Box
You get a 0.6Ω GPP Alpha pod and two standard GPP pods, 3ml each. Uwell rates the Alpha pod for 17+ refills in its lab tests.
Storm and Waves Modes
Storm gives a stronger, bolder hit. Waves is smoother and brings out the flavor.
Triple-Tap Control
Tap the body 3 times to switch modes, screen themes or brightness. Each color has its own screen theme.
Stepless Side Airflow
A slider on the side sets the draw, from a tighter MTL to a looser RDL.

Caliburn G5 Pod Ratings
Uwell gives 35W for the 0.4Ω pod. It doesn’t publish ratings for the others, so these are the ratings hands-on reviews and major shops agree on.
| Caliburn GPP pod | Rating |
|---|---|
| GPP pod, 0.4Ω | RDL, up to 35W |
| GPP pod, 0.6Ω | RDL, 25W |
| GPP pod, 0.9Ω | MTL, up to 15W |
| GPP pod, 1.2Ω | MTL, up to 13W |
The GPP Alpha pod in the box is 0.6Ω. We carry Caliburn GPP pods in packs of 3 and Caliburn G3 pods in packs of 4, and both fit.
How to Set Up the Caliburn G5
- Charge it: plug the G5 into a USB-C charger.
- Turn it on: click the side button 5 times.
- Fill it: fill a pod, push it in and let it soak for a few minutes before your first puff.
- Pick a mode: choose Storm or Waves, set the airflow, then draw to vape.
Who the Caliburn G5 Is For
The Uwell Caliburn G5 suits vapers who want a screen, two power modes and a big battery, from a tighter MTL draw to a looser RDL. For a simpler kit with no screen or buttons, see the Caliburn G5 Lite.
Good to know: the battery is built in, and Uwell doesn’t list a charging cable in the box.
