How to use the Uwell Caliburn G3 Pro: wattage, pods and locking

The Uwell Caliburn G3 Pro includes the device, a Caliburn G3 0.4 ohm pod, a Caliburn G3 0.9 ohm pod, a USB-C charging cable and a user manual.

The built-in 1000mAh battery can last up to a full day, and the output is adjustable from 5 to 35W. An OLED screen shows your firing method, wattage and battery level, and an airflow control lets you tune the draw.

At 91g it feels solid without being heavy, and the finish options run from plain colours to leather and wood effects.

To refill a Caliburn G3 pod, remove the mouthpiece to reach the fill port, fill to just below the top and press the mouthpiece back on. With a new pod, wait five minutes before the first draw so the mesh coil soaks.

Click the pod in and vape by inhaling on the mouthpiece or by pressing and holding the button. The screen shows which firing method is active.

Start with the 0.9 ohm pod and the airflow mostly closed if you want a discreet MTL hit. Switch to the 0.4 ohm pod and open the airflow when you want more vapour.

To change the wattage, press the button three times and adjust using the on-screen readout. Keep within the rating for the pod you are using: the G3 0.4 and 0.6 ohm pods are rated 5 to 25W, and the 1.0 ohm pod 5 to 10W.

The G3 Pro also takes Caliburn GPP and GPP Alpha pods, rated 35W for 0.4 ohm, 25W for 0.6 ohm, 15W for 0.9 ohm and 13W for 1.2 ohm.

For peace of mind, the button can be locked to prevent unwanted firing in a bag or pocket. Your manual shows the lock sequence. Spare pods live in the Uwell pod range.

For a discreet MTL inhale, pair the 0.9 ohm pod with a 50% VG e-liquid. Most nic salts fit the bill and feel smooth at 10mg or 20mg.

For more vapour, the 0.4 ohm pod pairs with a higher VG vape juice for an RDL inhale. A 70% VG liquid at a lower strength is the usual choice, because each puff carries much more vapour.

Nicotine is addictive. Using 20mg nic salt in the 0.4 ohm pod would make each puff far stronger than in the 0.9 ohm pod, so step down when you switch.

• Burnt taste after changing wattage: the power is above the pod's rating. Press three times and bring it back into range.
• Leaking from the 0.4 ohm pod: thin liquid floods a lower resistance coil. Use a higher VG juice.
• Firing in a pocket: lock the button when you put it away.

Higher wattage drains the 1000mAh battery faster, so if you vape the 0.4 ohm pod hard, plan a midday charge. Use the included cable, charge before it is empty and keep it out of heat. Batteries that are regularly cooked on a dashboard lose capacity far sooner.

The Caliburn G3 Pro suits vapers who want a refillable pod kit with real control: adjustable wattage, button or auto draw, a screen and a lock. Two pods in the box let you try MTL and RDL from the start.

If you do not need any of that, the buttonless Caliburn G3 Lite uses the same pods for less money. If you want a bigger battery with similar controls, the Vaporesso Xros Pro 2 carries 2000mAh.

For a pod kit that stays in your pocket all week, it is a strong pick.
