In the fast‑evolving world of vaping, the Uwell Caliburn G3 Replacement Pods represent a step forward in convenience, flavour, and versatility. Compatible with the popular Caliburn G3, G3 Pro, G3 Lite, and GK3 devices, these pods elevate the vaping experience for both Mouth‑To‑Lung (MTL) and Restricted Direct‑To‑Lung (RDTL) users. Offering four coil resistance options, a mess‑free top‑fill system, and Uwell’s renowned Pro‑FOCS flavour technology, they are designed to meet the needs of lovers of performance without complication.
In this detailed review, we explore every feature of these new pods, compare them to other Caliburn pod options, and explain why they may be a game‑changer for vapers looking to enhance their setup.
A standout feature of the Caliburn G3 pod line is the availability of four resistances. At 1.2 Ω and 0.9 Ω, they offer classic MTL vaping — smooth, flavour‑rich draws ideal for reduced vapour. For those seeking denser clouds and more vapour intensity, the 0.6 Ω and 0.4 Ω options transform the experience into a RDTL setup. This flexible resistance range allows users to customise their draw according to preference or mood without needing a separate device.
For instance, a vaper may enjoy a 1.2 Ω pod during the workday for discreet use, then switch to a 0.4 Ω pod in the evening when seeking bold flavour. It is rare to find this level of resistance flexibility in one line of pods, making the G3 range an excellent choice for those who appreciate variety without extra hardware.
Refilling e‑liquid is one of the most common pain points for pod users. Uwell’s top‑fill design mitigates this by allowing users to simply pop off the mouthpiece and insert their fill bottle into the rubberised fill port, all while leaving the pod seated in the device. This reduces the risk of spills, keeps hands clean, and avoids the frustration of dripping over side walls.
This design is a major improvement over earlier pods that required removal before filling or exposed coil elements to airflow. It keeps the entire pod cleaner and working more consistently, offering peace of mind along with drip‑free convenience.
Despite the refillable nature of these pods, Uwell has demonstrated a clear commitment to flavour preservation. The pods utilise Uwell’s proprietary FeCrAl mesh coil, positioned close to the mouthpiece, to maintain resistance when the pod empties. The coil is evenly heated, gently vaporising e‑liquid and delivering a crisp, flavour‑intense draw.
According to user feedback, freebase or nic salt e‑liquids taste remarkably consistent across the pod’s lifespan, even through six to eight full refills. That’s a strong plus for anyone who prioritises taste but also wants extended use and lower per‑ml cost.
Caliburn G3 pods are all‑in‑one units; once the mesh coil reaches the end of its life, users merely slide in a fresh pod. This approach eliminates coil swapping, wicking issues, or fiddly maintenance. It also ensures that coil performance remains predictable and reliable each time.
While they carry a slightly higher cost per pod than traditional refillable pods, the convenience and consistency often justify the price for experienced vapers or busy individuals who depend on hassle‑free operation.
These new pods are optimised for Caliburn’s smart power management. The Caliburn G3 battery intelligently adjusts wattage depending on pod resistance — boosting log performance with the 0.4 Ω coil and toning down power with higher resistances. This adaptive output protects battery longevity while preserving flavour and vapour production.
With typical dual‑coil architecture, a 650 mAh battery in the G3 can deliver between 2000 and 3000 puffs per charge (depending on resistance), making for all‑day use with minimal recharging via USB‑C.
Compared to the earlier G3, G3 Pro, G3 Lite, and even GK3 pods, the G3 replacements offer several distinct advantages. The larger fill capacity, mesh coil, and top‑fill solution are improvements over refillable pods needing coil changes, smaller reservoirs, or fiddly openings. The multi‑resistance option further widens user choice without forcing them to buy other pod lines or devices.
Quiet, discreet, flavour-emphasising users and new vapers alike stand to gain. The inhale activation and RDTL options cater to both nic salt and freebase enthusiasts. Vapers who switch between indoor and outdoor usage can choose the most suitable resistance. Travellers or commuters who appreciate refill convenience and leak-proof design will value these pods for their robust build and easy usability.
Still unsure whether the G3 system is the right fit for your needs? FREESMO offers a custom Smoke-Free Questionnaire that can help you identify the best vaping options for your lifestyle. Based on your answers, the tool suggests appropriate devices, nicotine strengths, and flavours tailored to your preferences. It’s an excellent starting point for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the vast array of vaping products available today.
This service is particularly useful if you're looking to optimise your setup for flavour, vapour production, or long-term affordability.
Many vapers transitioning from disposable kits are concerned about initial setup costs with refillable devices. While the Caliburn G3 pods may seem costlier upfront, they offer long-term savings.
Each pod can be refilled multiple times, and their consistent coil performance extends the time between replacements. Compare this to a disposable device that must be entirely discarded once empty — both costly and environmentally taxing.
For example, one G3 pod combined with a 10ml bottle of e-liquid (costing roughly £3–£5) can offer the same lifespan as several disposables priced individually at £4–£6 each. Over a month, the savings become significant.
Disposable vapes have come under scrutiny for their environmental impact. With the rise in e-waste, many vapers are making the switch to refillable systems to reduce their carbon footprint. The Caliburn G3 pods fit this movement perfectly.
Rather than throwing away entire units, users replace only the pod while keeping the main device intact. This approach dramatically reduces plastic and battery waste, aligning with more sustainable vaping practices.
Manufacturers like Uwell are also increasingly committed to eco-conscious practices — using recyclable packaging, offering battery recycling schemes, and reducing their carbon output in production processes.
On average, each pod lasts 6–8 full refills, depending on the e-liquid used. Sweeter, thicker liquids may reduce coil lifespan slightly.
It’s recommended to stick with 50/50 VG/PG e-liquids for optimal coil performance and flavour delivery, especially in the 0.9 Ω and 1.2 Ω pods.
While not necessary, rinsing with warm water and allowing the pod to dry fully can extend longevity and prevent flavour crossovers when changing e-liquids.
Yes. The tight-fitting top-fill cap and sealed coil chamber make these pods highly resistant to leaks when filled correctly.
The Uwell Caliburn G3 Replacement Pods deliver on every front: flexibility, taste, convenience, and lasting performance. Whether you favour tight MTL hits or lightweight RDTL clouds, these pods meet both expectations in one system.
For anyone ready to stop sentimentality with basic pods and embrace a more adaptable, flavour‑focused option, these pods deserve serious consideration. They embody what modern pod systems should offer: excellent taste, easy refilling, fuss‑free operation, and compatibility across Uwell’s bestselling devices.
