Uwell CALIBURN G5 35W Pod System
The Uwell CALIBURN G5 is the flagship of the Caliburn G line, pairing a 1600mAh internal battery with up to 35W of adjustable output and a 0.85" full-color display that reads out exact battery percentage, wattage and mode. The one-piece aluminum alloy body uses a tap-control sensor — three taps anywhere on the chassis cycle power modes, screen themes and brightness, with no menu diving. It runs the Caliburn GPP pod platform: magnetic 3mL top-fill cartridges in 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.9Ω and 1.2Ω, plus the new 0.6Ω GPP Alpha pod built on AlphaCore for extended pod life. A stepless airflow slider takes it from tight MTL to restricted direct lung, and USB-C 5V/2A charging refills the battery in roughly 45 minutes.

FAQ
Q: Which pods does the Caliburn G5 use?
A: It uses Uwell CALIBURN GPP cartridges, including the new GPP Alpha. Uwell states the GPP platform is fully compatible across the Caliburn G5, G4 and G3 series, so GPP pods bought for a G3 or G4 will work in the G5.
Q: Will my older Caliburn G or G2 pods fit?
A: No. The original Caliburn G and G2 used an earlier cartridge design and are not part of the GPP platform. The G5 requires GPP or GPP Alpha pods.
Q: What's the difference between the standard GPP pod and the GPP Alpha?
A: The Alpha is a 0.6Ω pod built on Uwell's AlphaCore mesh with a soft TPU mouthpiece. It's designed to survive far more refills before flavor drops off, and it delivers a slightly punchier hit than the standard 0.6Ω.
Q: What resistance should I start with?
A: Use 0.9Ω or 1.2Ω with higher-strength nicotine salts for a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw. Use 0.4Ω or 0.6Ω with lower-strength salts or 50/50 freebase for a warmer, more airy restricted direct-lung vape.
Q: How do I change the wattage or screen theme?
A: Tap the body three times. Repeated triple-taps cycle through power modes, the nine display themes and screen brightness — there is no separate menu button.
Q: How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?
A: Uwell rates the 1600mAh battery at up to 6 days of typical use; heavy all-day vaping is realistically 2–3 days. USB-C charging at 5V/2A brings it back to full in about 45 minutes.
