With a slim aluminum chassis and 929mAh battery, the Caliburn G3 fits effortlessly into pockets and palms alike while still packing a full day’s power. It accepts two different pod types: a 0.6Ω mesh pod made for airier direct lung hits and a tighter 0.9Ω pod for mouth-to-lung vaping. Fast USB-C charging fully recharges the built-in cell in just over an hour.
An updated OLED display keeps vapers informed, with handy readouts for voltage, resistance, battery life, puff count, and more. The device even allows switching between two different performance modes.

An aluminum chassis lends the Caliburn G3 an upscale look and feel, with the handy addition of an eLiquid window to monitor levels. The new OLED display keeps vapers informed in style, a major upgrade over previous Caliburn mods.
The kit includes both a 0.6Ω mesh pod optimized for direct lung vaping and a tighter 0.9Ω pod perfect for mouth-to-lung. Airflow changes depending which way vapers insert the pod, allowing some customization.
The Caliburn G3’s updated display finally brings adjustable settings to the Caliburn line. Vapers can toggle between two different performance modes or dial in a preferred power level.
After two weeks with the Caliburn G3, one thing is clear: this device delivers. The 0.6Ω pod produces outstanding flavor. Vapor pours forth dense and rich. Between the different pods and multiple modes, it caters to lung hitters and mouth-to-lung fans alike.
The Caliburn G3 also earns top marks for user-friendliness. Between the handy display, intuitive controls, and zippy USB-C charging, it’s always ready to vape at a moment’s notice.
Personal Experience
- Rich, full-bodied flavor (especially 0.6Ω pod)
- Easy monitoring via updated OLED display
- Convenient USB-C charging (full in just over 1 hour)
- Pods and modes to suit direct lung & mouth-to-lung
When put head-to-head against its predecessor, the Caliburn G3 pulls ahead on vapor production and flavor but lags behind in certain areas. Unlike the G2, it lacks adjustable airflow and swappable coil heads. So for vapers who value customization, the G2 still rules supreme.
G3 vs G2
- Better flavor production
- Cleaner, more modern visual design
- But no airflow control or replaceable coils
So the choice between the Caliburn G3 and G2 comes down to priorities. Those chasing flavor will prefer the G3, while vapers who care about customization should opt for the G2.
With phenomenal flavor and fuss-free functionality, the Caliburn G3 makes vaping a breeze. While it skimps on certain customization features, it more than makes up for it with performance and ease of use. For vapers who prioritize convenience and bold flavor over tweaking airflow and coils, the Caliburn G3 is a superb choice.
Pros
- Phenomenal flavor
- Sleek, compact size
- Easy to use
- Fast USB-C charging
Cons
- No adjustable airflow
- Non-replaceable coil heads
- Battery may not suit heavy use
