The Caliburn G3 kit is no longer stocked, but the Caliburn G3 Refillable Pod is still available at KSh 2,500. This review stays up because the G3 is still in many hands in Nairobi. It covers what the device is like to live with and points to the current Caliburn kits Vapesoko carries instead.

Uwell Caliburn G3 Pod Kit Review (2026 Update)
The Caliburn G3 kit is no longer stocked, and we cannot sell you one. The Caliburn G3 Refillable Pod is still stocked at KSh 2,500, so if you already own a G3, you can keep it running.
This page stays up because the G3 is still in a lot of hands in Nairobi and people still search for it. Below is the review, an honest account of what the device is like to live with, and what we would point you to now.
Sold to adults of 18 and over. We verify age before dispatch, and our riders may ask for ID on delivery.

Availability note, September 2026

As of September 2026, the Uwell Caliburn G3 Pod Kit is discontinued and out of our catalogue. The Caliburn G3 Pro is discontinued as well. Neither has a price here, and neither can be ordered.
What remains stocked is the consumable:
  • UWELL Caliburn G3 Refillable Pod: KSh 2,500
That is a pod, not a kit. It is the part you click into a G3 you already own. It does not come with a battery, and it will not make a working device on its own.

The verdict

The G3 was a good small pod kit, and it earned its reputation. It was easy to fill, it was consistent, and it did not ask you to learn anything before it worked.
None of that helps if you cannot buy one. Our honest verdict in 2026: a fine device, no longer purchasable, and not worth hunting down second-hand when the current Caliburn kits cover the same ground and still have pods on the shelf. If you own one, buy the pod and carry on. If you are shopping, skip to the alternatives.

What the G3 was actually like to use

It was an unfussy device. You filled the pod, you dropped it in, you drew on it. There was no learning curve and very little that could go wrong day to day. The draw was on the tight side, in the Caliburn house style, which is what most people bought it for, and it suited slow, deliberate puffs rather than long, hard pulls.
The pod was the maintenance item and the thing that decided whether you liked the device. Sweet and dark flavours generally shorten pod life, clear menthols generally stretch it, and chain vaping shortens it further. The practical complaint, then and now, was cost per pod rather than performance: at KSh 2,500 a pod, how often you replace it matters more to your running cost than anything else about the device.

Specifications

We are not going to list a battery size, a wattage, a pod capacity or a coil resistance for the G3. Our catalogue does not carry a verified figure for any of them, and the numbers floating around retail listings do not agree with each other. Inventing one to fill a table would not make this page more useful.
What we can state:
  • Kit status: discontinued, not stocked, no price
  • Caliburn G3 Refillable Pod: stocked, KSh 2,500
  • Caliburn G3 Pro: discontinued, not stocked
  • Draw style: tight, in the Caliburn mould
  • Liquid format: a 50/50 nicotine salt
For the kits we do stock, the figures are in the comparison below, and those come from the product titles we sell under.

What liquid it takes, and which stocked ranges fit

The G3 is a small pod device, so a 50/50 nicotine salt is the format that suits it. The thick 70/30 freebase bottles are made for high-power sub-ohm hardware and generally wick poorly in a pod this size.
Stocked salt ranges and the strengths they come in:
Those are the strengths on the shelf. Which one you buy is your call, and we are not going to make it for you.

Who each one suits, by use pattern

  • You want the G3 experience with parts still on the shelf: the G4, the closest thing in spirit and the obvious default.
  • You are out all day and away from a charger: the G5 Lite SE, the largest cell of the three at 1600mAh, so it generally goes longer between charges.
  • You vape in short bursts and charge at a desk: the A3. 520mAh is enough for that pattern, and it is the cheapest way in and the tightest draw of the three.
