Words : Peaches Atkinson
A truly remarkable device , the Caliburn G2 is the embodiment of what a true pod system should be . It checks off all of the important features one looks for when selecting a vape - whether it ’ s your first time choosing , or your hundredth time . The first thing I noticed about this kit ( something I had yet to come across in vaping ) was a vibration alert when you connected or disconnected a charging lead as well as when short-circuit / low voltage protection was activated . The Caliburn G2 is palm sized and stick shaped , with a fire / on / off button , a USB-C charging port and a window near the top of the device to easily check e-liquid levels . This unassuming kit is available in a multitude of attractive colours and finishes , suitable for all preferences . The size and weight is similar to other devices in its class and will fit snugly in just about any pocket or bag . No screen us needed for this device and the fire button is all that is needed to operate it . The build quality is excellent and it even remained unscathed after colliding unceremoniously with the ground - and yet it still works perfectly . The Caliburn G2 can be easily filled on the go and a small rubber seal valve eliminates any risk of leakages . The pod slots into the top of the device easily and securely , with no wobble or looseness . Inside the pod itself , the UN2 mesh coils just pop in and out without the need to screw them in place . This kit comes with both a 0.8ohm and a 1.2ohm coil and they work great with 50 / 50 VG / PG e-liquids . Coil longevity is one of the best features of this device , and I managed to get well over 12 days of moderate usage before needing to swap the coil out . The flavour on this nifty kit is fairly unexpected , especially so with the 0.8 coil . The taste of the e-liquid is conveyed accurately and is strong , with a warm inhale . In terms of inhales , the draw is primarily an MTL ( Mouth To Lung ) similar to that of smoking a cigarette . With progressive airflow control on the side of the pod , you are able to adjust it to your preferences and can also get a slightly looser
draw , also known as an RDL ( restricted direct to lung ). When it comes to charging and battery life , you can expect this 750mAh inbuilt cell to last most of , if not all day . It is quickly charged up via USB-C within about 25mins and battery life is indicated by coloured LED lights , red meaning low , blue being medium and green meaning adequate . In comparison to disposable setups , running a Caliburn G2 can also be more economical in the long run . As I briefly mentioned previously , the Caliburn G2 works incredibly well with thinner e-liquids and can handle high strengths of nicotine , delivering both a powerful hit and smooth flavour . The vapour production on both of the coils included with this kit was modest and allowed for an inconspicuous vaping experience . Convenience is where this kit thrives , down to its ease of use , low price point and discreet nature , it is perfect for new vapers as well as more experienced vapers that need something reliable , yet understated . During my time using this device , I felt that it delivered on all levels . It truly is the perfect pod system and therefore has gained a place in my daily arsenal as my new favourite kit . For me , there were absolutely no negatives - the battery life was fantastic , it was easy to operate , the flavour was impressive , the coils lasted significantly longer than many other similar setups and it looks smart and stylish . I feel that this device is a true all-rounder that will not disappoint , and is ideal for vapers of all levels .
PROS - Easy to use - Faultless , reliable performance - Intense and warm flavour , particularly for a pod system
CONS - None
