The Uwell Caliburn G5 pod kit is the flagship of the Caliburn G5 generation, priced at $48.00 and available in Canada at Vaping The Way. It runs on a 1600mAh battery with 35W max output, uses Uwell's new GPP Alpha Cartridge with AlphaCore longevity technology, and ships with 3 pods included. Unlike the simpler Caliburn G5 Lite, the full G5 carries a colour screen, Triple-Tap gesture control, and dual power modes. Airflow is adjusted via a stepless side slider, and VTW stocks the top fill version of the Caliburn G5.

Caliburn G5 Key Features
GPP Alpha Cartridge with AlphaCore Longevity Tech
The Caliburn G5 ships with three GPP Alpha Cartridges, each built with AlphaCore coil technology. Uwell rates the Alpha pod for 17+ refills and 50+ mL of e-liquid before replacement, significantly longer than standard pods, which typically last 5–10 refills. The practical result is fewer pod purchases over time and consistent flavour that doesn't degrade mid pod the way older coil designs can. The soft touch TPU mouthpiece adds comfort for extended use.
Smart Triple-Tap Control
The G5 replaces traditional button cycling with a tap sensor on the device body. Triple tapping anywhere switches between modes, UI themes, or screen brightness, with no need to locate a specific button. This works in low light, at parties, or while walking without looking at the device. It's a more intuitive approach to managing power modes than the button click sequences used on most pod kits.
Waves Mode and Storm Mode
The Caliburn G5 offers two power delivery modes accessible via Triple-Tap. Waves Mode delivers a smoother, more gradual power curve, suited for longer, cooler draws and flavour focused vaping. Storm Mode delivers a stronger, more immediate hit, better for a tighter draw with more intensity. Both use the same pod; the difference is how power is applied to the coil.
Stepless Airflow Control
A side mounted airflow control slider adjusts draw resistance smoothly across the full range from tight MTL to a looser RDL draw. Unlike stepped airflow designs, the stepless slider lets you dial in the exact resistance you prefer without clicking between fixed positions.
Immersive Colour Matched UI
Each of the seven Caliburn G5 colour options comes with a dedicated screen UI theme designed to match the device's colourway. The colour and the theme are paired at the factory, so the visual experience is integrated rather than generic. Screen brightness and theme are adjustable via Triple-Tap.

Caliburn G5 vs Caliburn G5 Lite
The full Caliburn G5 and the Caliburn G5 Lite share the same 1600mAh battery, 35W max output, and GPP pod platform, but they're aimed at different users. The G5 Lite is the simplified version: no screen, no buttons, draw activated, with auto regulated wattage and an LED battery indicator. The full G5 adds the colour screen with matched UI themes, Triple-Tap gesture control, selectable Waves and Storm power modes, and three GPP Alpha longevity pods in the box. If you want a set and forget device, the Lite is the value pick. If you want control over power delivery and a screen, the full G5 is the upgrade.

The Caliburn G5 stands out with 35W output, 3 included pods, and AlphaCore rated pod longevity, meaning fewer pod replacements over time. The XROS 6 Mini and XROS 6 offer VENTURI Airflow and 60s Smart Prime from Vaporesso's XROS platform. The right choice depends on whether extended pod lifespan and gesture control appeal more than XROS's airflow tech and fast charging.

Uwell Caliburn G5 FAQ
What is the difference between the Caliburn G5 and the Caliburn G5 Lite?
Both share a 1600mAh battery, 35W output, and the GPP pod platform. The G5 Lite is the simplified, lower priced version: draw activated with no screen and no buttons, using auto regulated wattage and an LED battery indicator. The full Caliburn G5 adds a colour screen with matched UI themes, Triple-Tap gesture control, selectable Waves and Storm power modes, and ships with three GPP Alpha longevity pods instead of standard pods.
What is the GPP Alpha Cartridge and how long does it last?
The GPP Alpha Cartridge uses Uwell's AlphaCore longevity technology, rated for 17+ refills and over 50mL of e-liquid before the coil needs replacing. Standard GPP pods typically last 5–10 refills. The Alpha pod's extended lifespan means you're buying replacement pods less often, which adds up to real savings over time. Three Alpha pods are included with the Caliburn G5 kit.
How do you refill the Caliburn G5 pod?
The Caliburn G5 at VTW uses top fill GPP cartridges. Remove the pod from the device, open the fill cap on top of the pod, fill with salt nicotine e-liquid, and close the cap before reinserting. When filling a brand new pod, let it sit for several minutes before the first puff so the coil saturates fully and you avoid a dry hit.
What is the difference between Waves Mode and Storm Mode?
Waves Mode applies a smoother, more gradual power curve to the coil, producing a softer, flavour focused draw that's easy on the throat over long sessions. Storm Mode delivers power more directly for a stronger, more immediate hit with more vapour intensity. Switch between them with a Triple-Tap. Both modes work with all GPP pods, and five clicks of the device powers it on and off as a safety lock.
Does VTW carry the side fill or top fill Caliburn G5?
VTW carries the top fill version of the Caliburn G5. The Caliburn G5 is available in two hardware variants, top fill and side fill, and VTW stocks the classic top fill kit. Compatible replacement pods are GPP top fill cartridges (0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.9Ω, 1.2Ω). Side fill GPP cartridges are not compatible with the top fill device.
What e-liquid should I use with the Caliburn G5?
The Caliburn G5 is designed for salt nicotine e-liquids, typically 20mg/mL in a 50/50 VG/PG ratio. High VG freebase e-liquids are not recommended for pod coils. Browse VTW's salt e-liquid collection for compatible options, or ask VTW staff for a pairing recommendation.
What colours does the Caliburn G5 come in?
The Caliburn G5 is available in seven colours, each with a matching built in screen UI theme: Mystic Forest, Black Carbon, Navy Ripples, Orange Feathers, Black Gold, Aurora Feathers, and Silver Marble. Check the colour selector above for current stock at VTW.
