Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Uwell Caliburn Pod Kit, please see the bottom for disclaimers and links. Note this is not marked as a sample version.
Introduction:
The Uwell Caliburn Pod kit is the latest and i’m pretty sure the first, Pod Kit from popular vape manufacturer Uwell. They’ve done a really good job with tanks over the past 2-3 years (save for the valyrian) and even made a nice kit with the nunchaku kit but have been popular since the original crown which i always thought was overrated. The Caliburn is a simple tall skinny “JUUL” style AIO Pod with refillable pods and a built in 520mah battery and is inhale and button press to fire. It’s available in 6 colors Iris Purple, Grey, Black, Red, Pink, and Blue. Elementvape has them in stock in the USA all colors for 37.95 and replacement pods for 13.95 for a 4 pack so good price point as well.

The Caliburn is simple tall skinny stick styled AIO (all in one) Pod kit, meaning there isn’t a separate mod or tank that can be used with anything else. It does have replaceable pods so you can carry spares, but those are sold separately and the coils are built into the pods so you replace the whole pod like a renova zero or innokin EQ. Design wise it’s very similar to a JUUL or a smaller eleaf elven. It’s a really small size all things considered. There is no adjustable air as well like most pods. Not a big deal but it is cool when pods have adjustable air but not really the standard these days yet so just a bonus when it has that. It has a average capacity of 2ml (so TPD compliant). The battery is listed at 520mah and it’s a direct output device and the resistance is 1.4 ohms so it vapes around 11 watts according to uwell but math wise about 7.5-11.5 watts depending on battery charge. It features built in USB charging they surprisingly don’t list a charge rate or time which most do. I tested this 3 time with an inline USB meter and for the charge rate it charges at .84A max so close enough to be rated at 1A but .8A would be more preferred for me and more than good enough for the battery size. It charges full in about 41-42 minutes. Battery size wise i got 483-493mah so no complaints there. Nothing way overstated from what they list it as, which is all i’m looking for so good ratings. It does have passthrough vaping as well like most so u can hit it while it’s charging. The drip tip is proprietary and part of the pod itself but is removable to fill which i’ll explain in a bit.
The Caliburn is very nicely built, but very lightweight as well. Paint wise i have the Iris Purple which is a matte body with a blue bottom and pink top that fades together with a purple middle. I think it looks nice and shows no signs of wearing either but i’m sure some would prefer a more basic solid color which they have as well. No complaints or wearing on the paint. The pods attach to the battery via a magnet system and are easy to get in and out and fit really well so good job there and fit it nicely with no wiggle or play. To remove the pod just pull it out. The filling is excellent and the best i’ve come across in a pod. To fill remove the pod then just pop off the drip tip which is easy to do and it exposes 2 large fill holes, more thea big enough to fit a fine tooth bottle in the hole and fill easily and it has an air outlet hole. Then when full just pop the drip tip back on. Very easy to fill.
Usage is pretty easy. It’s a inhale to fire device but also has a fire button so you have both options. Personally never understood that but if the air sensor was to die i could see it being useful. I used it as an inhale to fire mostly. There are no modes or settings but you can click fire 5 times to turn it on and off to pocket. I had no issues with the air sensor at all or misfires. The LED is on the middle of the front below the fire button and bright enough to see but not really when vaping. U can tap fire to light it up to see your charge though. When vaping or pressing the fire button the color lets you know the battery charge. Green means Full to 60%, Blue means 30-60% and Red means 30% or less. Good enough meter and pretty standard on most pods but a 4th step would be nice but that’s just being nitpicky. The pod is covered but it’s also clear and there are juice windows cut out on each side so it’s easy to see your juice level. The windows could be a little bigger but again i’m being nitpicky. It’s also easy to pop it out and look. 2 of my biggest complaints about juice visibility is dark tint and no juice window and this device didn’t make those mistakes so i got to give them credit there.
