No buttons also means no screen and so no adjustable wattage . The max wattage on the device is 18w and it will change depending which of the Caliburn G series coils you have installed .
Speaking of the coils , the kit includes a 0.8 and a 1.2 ohm coil , both of which provided me with good flavour and decent vapour production for such a small device .
That being said , this is definitely more of a MTL vape , and as such works best with 50 / 50 salt or freebase nicotine liquids and I ’ d avoid using anything thicker with these coils .
Changing the coils is very easy , you just pull the pod out of the device , find the coil on the bottom of the pod , pull the old one out and push the new one in .
Today we are taking a look at the newest member of the Caliburn family from Uwell , the Caliburn GK2 .
I ’ ve had a lot of time and use with some of the other Caliburn kits so I ’ m very excited to be trying out the new model .
Let ’ s start off with the appearance . It ’ s a similar size and shape to previous models like the Koko Prime , but with slightly smoother edges and some awesome new colours .
Portability is the key word with the GK2 kit , weighing in at just over 45 grams , you barely know it ’ s in your pocket when you ’ re carrying it around .
It ’ s made out of a very durable zinc alloy material , very useful if you ’ re clumsy like me and drop your vapes a lot .
The included lanyard is also a very welcome addition , as I tend to lose my vapes as well so keeping it attached to me is preferable .
The side of the device features some bright light bars , in the classic Caliburn KOKO shape .
The lights flash and change colour as you vape as well as turning red when the device needs charging and green when it ’ s fully charged .
This will not be the best for stealth vapers out there as there doesn ’ t seem to be a way to turn them off .
The GK2 is powered by a 690mAh internal battery , which is charged via an included USB Type C cable .
In terms of battery life , I found it lasted a good few hours of vaping and also charged up very quickly , in around an hour or so . I never felt let down by the battery .
Filling the 2ml pod is also simple and easy . It is done by pushing back on the mouthpiece until it is removed , and then pushing the bottle nib through a small red seal on the top of the pod .
I really like this system as it allows you to fill up without removing the pod from the device . Perfect for when you ’ re on the go , and a lot less messy than some other pod systems .
In terms of flavour , this device is a winner . I tried loads of different juices in there , salt and freebase and they all shone , for the whole length of the coil lifespan .
This is , in part , due to Uwell ’ s Pro-FOCS technology , which has a self-cleaning feature to help to keep the coil fresher for longer and improving the flavour you get .
The Caliburn GK2 is a fantastic device which is easy to recommend to experienced and new vapers alike .
The ease of use and simplicity are what makes it especially suitable for those new to vaping .
It ’ s ultra-lightweight and easy to carry around and I commend Uwell for making it so portable without sacrificing anything to get there .
Pros :
Lightweight
Easy to use
Top filling pod

Lights may be off-putting for stealth vapers
