The Uwell Caliburn A3 Pod Kit is KSh 4,000 at Vapesoko. It is 520 mAh, and it is an MTL device, which makes it the cheapest Caliburn kit we stock and one of the most common first refillables people buy in Nairobi.
Short version: it is small, it is simple, and it does a tight mouth-to-lung draw properly. It is not a powerful device, and it is not meant to be.
Sold to adults of 18 and over. We verify age before dispatch, and our riders may ask for ID on delivery.
Payment is M-Pesa and cash only. No card is required.
The verdict up front
At KSh 4,000, this is the least you can spend on a stocked Caliburn kit, and it is a sensible amount of device for the money. Nothing about it is complicated.
The honest limitation is the battery. 520mAh is small. If you vape steadily through a full day away from a charger, you will feel that, and a larger cell is the fix rather than a different brand. The Caliburn G4 at KSh 5,000 is 1300mAh, and the G5 Lite SE at KSh 5,000 is 1600mAh.
Buy the A3 because you want a tight draw, a small body and a low entry price. Buy up the range if battery life matters more than KSh 1,000.
What MTL means here, and why it matters
MTL is mouth-to-lung. You draw the vapour into your mouth first, then inhale it. The airflow is tight and restricted rather than open.
That tight draw is what this device is built around. It is not an accident of a cheap design; it is the design. The A3 is tuned for a narrow, restrained draw, and it does that consistently.
The practical consequences of an MTL device:
- It uses liquid slowly. Small vapour volume, so a bottle lasts.
- It is quiet and discreet. Very little visible vapour compared with a high-power device.
- It pairs with a 50/50 nicotine salt, not with the thick 70/30 freebase bottles made for sub-ohm hardware.
- It does not do clouds. If that is what you want, this is the wrong class of device.
What it is like to use day to day
There is very little to it, which is the appeal. Fill the pod, click it in, draw. The pod is the only part you handle regularly and the only part you replace. Letting a freshly filled pod stand for a few minutes before the first draw generally reduces the risk of a dry hit while the wick saturates.
The 520mAh battery is the thing you will plan around. For most people, that means charging once a day, and it charges quickly because there is not much to fill. If you leave the house at seven and get home at nine, take a cable.
Flavour from a tight MTL pod is generally concentrated rather than voluminous, which suits menthols and sharper fruit flavours particularly well. Sweet, dark flavours generally shorten pod life.
Specifications
Only figures our catalogue supports:
- Kit price: KSh 4,000
- Battery: 520mAh
- Draw style: MTL (mouth to lung)
We are not listing a wattage, a coil resistance, a pod capacity, a charging time or body dimensions. Our catalogue carries no verified figures for those, and inventing one to fill out a table would not help you.
Who it suits, by use pattern
By how you use a device, not by anything else.
The A3 tends to suit you if:
- you want a tight, restricted draw rather than an airy one
- you want the smallest, lightest thing that will do the job
- you are near a charger daily, at a desk, in a car or at home
- your volume is modest and steady rather than heavy
- you want a device with no settings to learn, at the lowest entry price
Look elsewhere if:
- you are out all day without a charger. The Caliburn G4 at KSh 5,000 (1300mAh, 35W), the G5 Lite SE at KSh 5,000 (1600mAh, 35W) or the G4 Pro at KSh 5,500 (1800mAh, 35W)
- You want more vapour and a looser draw. The SMOK Nord 5 Pod Mod Kit at KSh 6,000 (2000mAh, 80W), a different class entirely
What liquid it takes, and which stocked ranges fit
The A3 takes a 50/50 nicotine salt in a bottle. That is the format for a low-power MTL pod. The 70/30 freebase bottles we stock, Ultimate Puff 120ml at KSh 2,500 and Ultimate Juice 120ml at KSh 2,300, are made for high-power sub-ohm devices and are thicker than a small pod generally wicks well.
Stocked salt ranges and the strengths each comes in:
Range | Price KSh | Size | Strengths |
|---|---|---|---|
800 | 10ml | 10mg (1%) and 20mg (2%) | |
700 | 10ml | 20mg (2%) | |
ELFLIQ Ice King Salts | 2,000 | 30ml | 30mg (3%) |
Ultimate Salts | 2,000 | 30ml | 50mg |
2,000 | 30ml | 35mg and 50mg |
Those are the strengths on the shelf, and we are not going to tell you which to pick. The choice is yours. What we will say is that the 10ml bottles at KSh 700 and KSh 800 are a cheap way to try a flavour before committing to a 30ml, and that a single 10ml does not clear the KSh 2,000 free-delivery threshold on its own.
Consumables and prices
Item | Price KSh | What it is |
|---|---|---|
UWELL Caliburn A3 Pod Kit | 4,000 | The complete kit, the device itself |
2,500 | A replacement pod. Not a kit |
That distinction matters, and older versions of this page blurred it. KSh 4,000 buys the device. KSh 2,500 buys a pod for a device you already own. A pod on its own is not a working vape.
How often you need a pod depends on the liquid and how hard you use it. Sweet and dark flavours generally caramelise on a coil faster than clear menthols. There is no single honest number, so budget for replacements and judge it by taste.
