The Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite is the slimmest, most affordable refillable pod vape we carry — a classic pen-style design with the same 1600mAh battery, PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology, and GPP pod compatibility as the rest of the Caliburn G5 family. At $17.50, it costs less than a single disposable and delivers the same draw-activated simplicity in a form factor that slips into a shirt pocket.
No screen. No buttons. No wattage to set. Just fill the pod, inhale, and go. If you want the lowest possible barrier to switching from disposables to refillable vaping — in terms of both cost and complexity — this is it.
Best for: Vapers who prefer a slim pen-style device over a square body, disposable users switching to refillable, and anyone who wants the cheapest entry point into the Caliburn ecosystem.

Same Caliburn Performance, Pen-Style Body
The G5 Lite shares the same core platform as the G5 Lite Koko — same 1600mAh battery, same 35W auto-adjusting output, same PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology, same GPP pod compatibility. The difference is form factor: the Lite is a slim, tall pen shape (112 mm × 30 mm × 18 mm) that's designed to be held like a pen or cigarette, while the Koko is a compact square meant to sit in a palm or on a lanyard.
If you prefer the feel of a traditional slim vape pen — something you can hold between two fingers and slip into a narrow pocket — the Lite is the one. If you prefer a wider, squatter device with a KOKO breathing light and a lanyard hole, go with the G5 Lite Koko.
PRO-FOCS 4.0 — Clean, Accurate Flavour
Uwell's PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour optimization system tunes the interaction between airflow, coil structure, and power delivery to produce cleaner, more accurate taste. Uwell claims a 35% increase in pod lifespan compared to previous generations — meaning more draws per pod before the coil fades. The Caliburn line is consistently rated among the best pod vapes for flavour, and the G5 Lite carries that forward at the lowest price point in the family.
Dual Airflow Control
Despite being a "lite" device, the G5 Lite gives you real airflow control through two methods: a sliding airflow adjuster and reversible pod orientation (flipping the pod 180° changes between two airflow configurations). Together, they cover everything from a tight cigarette-style MTL draw to a more open restricted direct-lung inhale — no menus or settings involved.
GPP Pod Ecosystem
The G5 Lite uses Caliburn GPP pods, shared across the entire G3, G4, and G5 Caliburn device family. Four resistance options cover different vaping styles and e-liquid preferences.
| Pod | Resistance | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 0.4Ω GPP | 0.4ohm | Warmest draw, densest vapour. Restricted direct-lung. Best with freebase e-liquids. |
| 0.6Ω GPP (included) | 0.6ohm | Versatile middle ground — warm, flavourful. Works with both nic salts and freebase. |
| 0.9Ω GPP | 0.9ohm | Smooth MTL at lower power. Great for nic salts. |
| 1.2Ω GPP | 1.2ohm | Tightest draw, coolest vapour. Closest to a cigarette. Ideal for higher-strength nic salts. |

How Does It Compare?
📊 Caliburn G5 Lite vs. G5 Lite Koko — Which One?
| Feature | G5 Lite (Pen) | G5 Lite Koko (Square) |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | Slim pen (112 × 30 × 18 mm) | Compact square (83 × 45 × 19 mm) |
| Battery | 1600mAh | 1600mAh |
| Max Output | 35W | 35W |
| Pod Capacity | 2mL | 2mL |
| Pod Compatibility | GPP (0.4–1.2Ω) | GPP (0.4–1.2Ω) |
| Flavour Tech | PRO-FOCS 4.0 | PRO-FOCS 4.0 |
| Airflow | Dual (slider + reversible pod) | Dual (stepless slider + reversible pod) |
| Charging | USB-C 1.0A | USB-C 2.0A (2× faster) |
| Indicator | 4-bar gradient LED | KOKO breathing light |
| Haptic Feedback | No | Yes (vibration on draw) |
| Lanyard Hole | No | Yes |
| Price (VTW) | $17.50 | $21.50 |
Bottom line: Same battery, same power, same pods, same flavour tech. The choice comes down to shape and extras. The G5 Lite is slimmer, lighter, $4 cheaper, and better for pockets and purses. The G5 Lite Koko adds faster 2A charging (roughly 2× the speed), haptic vibration feedback, and a lanyard hole — worth the extra $4 if those features matter to you. Performance is identical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pods are compatible with the Caliburn G5 Lite?
The G5 Lite uses Caliburn GPP pods in four resistances: 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.9Ω, and 1.2Ω. These are the same pods used across the Caliburn G3, G4, and G5 device family. The kit includes one 0.6Ω pod.
What e-liquid should I use?
With the included 0.6Ω pod, both nicotine salt and freebase e-liquids work well. For a tighter draw similar to a disposable, use nic salts at 10–20 mg/mL with a 0.9Ω or 1.2Ω pod (sold separately). For a warmer, more vapour-forward draw, use freebase e-liquid with the 0.4Ω or 0.6Ω pod.
How long does the battery last?
Uwell rates the 1600 mAh battery for up to 6 days of light use. Most moderate vapers will get 1–3 full days between charges. The G5 Lite charges via USB-C at 1.0A — expect a full charge in roughly 60–90 minutes.
What's the difference between the G5 Lite and the G5 Lite Koko?
Same internals — same battery, same power, same pods, same flavour tech. The G5 Lite is a slim pen shape ($17.50) with 1A charging. The G5 Lite Koko is a compact square ($21.50) with 2A fast charging, haptic vibration on each draw, and a lanyard hole. Pick the shape you prefer — performance is identical.
Is there a screen or any buttons?
No. The G5 Lite is draw-activated only — no buttons, no screen. A 4-bar gradient LED shows battery level. The device auto-adjusts wattage based on the pod resistance. It's designed to be as simple as a disposable.
Is the Caliburn G5 Lite good for beginners?
It's one of the best beginner pod vapes available — and the most affordable at $17.50. No settings to learn, no buttons to press, just inhale. The 0.9Ω or 1.2Ω pods (sold separately) with nicotine salt e-liquid give the closest experience to a disposable. The slim pen form factor also feels natural for anyone coming from cigarettes.
How do I adjust the airflow?
Two ways: a sliding airflow adjuster on the device, and reversible pod orientation — flipping the pod 180° switches between a larger and smaller airflow configuration. Together they cover tight MTL to restricted direct-lung without any settings or menus.
Can I buy the Caliburn G5 Lite online in Canada?
Yes. Vaping The Way ships free across Canada on orders over $75.00, and offers free same-day delivery in Regina, Saskatchewan Monday through Friday.
