The Uwell brand was first launched in 2015 in China and it is on a mission to be the world’s most valuable e-cigarette brand. While this may not have happened yet, it has achieved a strong reputation for its products.
This Uwell Caliburn GK2 pod kit is the most recent pod device from this manufacturer, and it merges some of the top features of the earlier kits to create a more effective and efficient device.

Design & Quality
Knowing that your new vape device is designed well and is of sufficient quality to not fall apart when you use it for the first time is pretty important! Luckily, the GK2 kit will tick your boxes on this front.
Body
The Uwell Caliburn GK2 is made from a zinc alloy material that is extremely durable – ideal for a kit that is perfect for use on the move. Highly portable, this device weighs just 45.2g making it lightweight and highly portable. It even comes with a lanyard included in the kit, so you can wear your device on the go!
One of the most attractive features of this device is its light bars that shine different colours at the varying power levels. Giving the device a modern, cutting-edge look, this is certainly an attractive and stylish kit.
Tank
The Uwell Caliburn GK2 features a Caliburn G2 cartridge, which was found in the earlier incarnation of this device. The top feature of this cartridge was its adjustable gear wheel to the bottom, which, at least in theory, allows the user to adjust the airflow level to suit their preferences.
The transparent cartridge features a large window too, so you can easily check how much e-juice you have left at a glance. It also has a top-fill design, so it’s clean and convenient, making it easy to refill the e-juice speedily and mess-free – in fact, you don’t even need to take the cartridge out to do this.
The cartridge is compatible with the three different coils in the Caliburn G series – the 1.2 ohm mesh coil, the 0.8 ohm mesh coil and the 1.0 ohm coil. This kit comes with two of those options – the 0.8 ohm and 1.2 ohm coils.
Battery & Charging
One of the top benefits that this device brings is its speedy charging. It comes with a Type-C charger, which takes just half an hour to bring a completely flat battery back to life. The charging process is shown on the device through the light panel, which pass through the colours red, blue and green to show how much power the device has left.
Once the device is completely charged up, the green light will stay on and the device will vibrate to let you know. A single charge can last for around 7 hours, depending on your vaping style – obviously, if you’re going to chain vape, you can expect your battery to need recharging more often.
Function
The Uwell Caliburn GK2 is a very functional device that is very simple to get to grips with. There are no fancy settings or complicated features – it’s a simple auto draw device that doesn’t even have a finger fire button. Of course, that makes it super convenient for newbies to vaping. It also features a progressive air flow adjustment thanks to the gear wheel, so you can adjust the vapour production and flavour intensity by simply rotating the wheel.
Performance
When it comes down to performance, the Uwell Caliburn GK2 is a reasonable performer, although not the best on the market. Nevertheless, for its price point, there’s not much to complain about. The 0.8 ohm coil produces a particularly good performance, but with both coils, the vapour production is good, and delivers as you’d expect considering the lower power level of this device. It produces lots of clouds which disperse quickly, and neither of the coils leak, which is good news too.
Ease of Use
The Caliburn GK2 is one of the easiest devices out there to use. There is no fire button, so it’s just an automatic draw device that is a breeze for even a complete novice to vaping to use. There is literally no learning curve here – just vape and go.
It’s also easy to see whether you’ve got enough ejuice to last for your vaping session left – this pod kit features a viewing window, so you can see at a glance whether you need to top up, which makes it even easier to use.
As another added advantage, this top fill system couldn’t be simpler to get to grips with, and it has an air release valve, so you won’t overfill the pod.
Price
Although the Uwell Caliburn GK2 pod kit is more expensive than its earlier incarnations from Uwell, it offers the benefit of being the best of both worlds – a combination of the best features of the devices that went before it. It’s also a cost effective choice, since it doesn’t have a sealed pod system.
You can simply refill with your chosen e-liquid whenever you need a top up – far more affordable than having to buy ready-filled replacement pods. The replaceable coils are also cross-compatible with the three in Uwell’s Caliburn G series, so you’ve got options.
In relation to other similar-performing devices with a similar power level, the Caliburn GK2 comes in at around the same price bracket, and it offers pretty good value for money.
Verdict
If you’re looking for a convenient and portable device that will work well when you’re on the move, the Uwell Caliburn GK2 won’t disappoint. While it isn’t the highest performing device on the market, for its price point as well as vapour and flavour production it has plenty to offer.
It also boasts a stylish body that looks modern and cutting-edge, so if appearance is an important factor for you when choosing the right vaping device to suit your needs, you probably won’t be disappointed by the Caliburn GK2.
In general, this pod device represents good value for money, and is a great option if you’re new to vaping and need a user-friendly device to get you started on your vaping journey.
