Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE Vape Kit
The Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE Vape Kit is a compact, inhale-activated pod kit designed for adult UK vapers seeking a reliable, low-maintenance device for everyday use. Combining a long-lasting battery, adjustable airflow and simple pod replacement, it delivers consistent performance for mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-to-lung (RDTL) vaping.
As a lightweight and cost-effective Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE pod kit, this device is suited to users looking to buy a TPD-compliant vape kit in the UK that works seamlessly with nicotine salts or 50/50 e-liquid. Its button-free operation and streamlined design make it particularly appealing to ex-smokers and those who value simplicity.
Key Highlights
- 1600mAh rechargeable battery for extended daily use
- Up to 35W output (pod-dependent)
- Supports MTL and RDTL vaping styles
- Inhale-activated – no buttons or menus
- Adjustable airflow for personalised draw
- Uses Uwell GPP pods with 2ml top-fill design
- Compatible with 50/50 e-liquid and nicotine salts
Why Choose the Caliburn G5 Lite SE?
The G5 Lite SE focuses on practical performance rather than unnecessary complexity. Its 1600mAh battery is designed to last most users a full day or more between charges, while the pod-dependent output of up to 35W allows the device to adapt naturally to different vaping styles.
Unlike high-powered sub-ohm kits, this pod system prioritises efficiency, portability and ease of use, making it suitable for users who want consistent vapour delivery without constant adjustments.
MTL & RDTL Draw Explained
With adjustable airflow, the Caliburn G5 Lite SE allows users to tailor their inhale. A tighter airflow setting delivers a classic mouth-to-lung draw similar to a traditional cigarette, while opening the airflow slightly enables a restricted direct-to-lung inhale with increased vapour production.
Pods & Refilling
The kit uses Uwell GPP pods featuring a 2ml TPD-compliant capacity and a convenient top-fill system. Refilling is quick and clean, reducing mess and downtime.
Pods contain an integrated coil and are replaced once performance declines. Manual coil changes are not required. Replacement pods are available separately — see Uwell GPP Pods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE suitable for beginners?
Yes. The inhale-activated design, lack of wattage controls and simple pod system make it suitable for beginners. Users only need to fill the pod, allow it to prime and inhale, reducing the learning curve associated with more advanced devices.
How long does a GPP pod last?
Pod lifespan is usage dependent and varies based on e-liquid type, airflow setting and vaping frequency. Many users find a pod lasts several days to over a week with moderate use when using 50/50 e-liquid.
How long does the battery take to charge?
Charging time varies by power source, but most users find the 1600mAh battery recharges within a few hours using a standard USB power adapter. Avoid using fast chargers designed for high-power electronics.
What does the LED battery indicator mean?
The LED indicator provides a general visual reference for remaining battery charge. A steady light typically indicates normal operation, while changes in brightness or flashing can signal low battery and the need to recharge.
What nicotine strength suits ex-smokers?
Many ex-smokers choose nicotine salt e-liquid in strengths around 10–20mg when using MTL pod kits like this. Preference varies by individual, and lower strengths may suit lighter users. See Nic Salts for suitable options.
Which GPP pod resistance is best for MTL vs RDTL?
Higher-resistance GPP pods generally suit tighter MTL draws, while lower-resistance options allow a slightly looser RDTL inhale. Availability varies, so check the Uwell GPP Pods range for current options.
Is condensation the same as leaking?
No. Condensation is a normal by-product of vapour cooling and does not indicate a fault. Leaking is uncommon and usually linked to overfilling or damaged pods.
Can I use high VG e-liquid?
High VG e-liquid is not recommended. The Caliburn G5 Lite SE performs best with 50/50 blends designed for pod systems.
Does the device turn off?
The device is inhale activated and does not have a manual power-off function. When travelling, remove the pod or store the device upright away from heat.
Is this kit legal in the UK?
The device and pods are supplied in a format intended to meet UK TPD requirements, including a 2ml pod capacity.
