Uwell Caliburn Series Compared: All 8 In-Stock Models and Which One to Buy in Dubai

Posted by author-avatar
Uwell Caliburn series compared – A3S, Koko Prime Vision, GK3, G3 Pro, G5 Lite and G5 pod kits in Dubai

The Uwell Caliburn series, from Uwell, the Shenzhen pod-system maker, spans everything from a 520mAh, 16W stick to a 1600mAh, 35W kit and even a 16,000-puff disposable, at 45–125 AED on vapsshop.ae. Every model is a mouth-to-lung or restricted-lung device built around Uwell’s Pro-FOCS flavour tuning, so the choice is about battery, pod size, draw range and price. Our verdict: the G5 Lite is the best value in the range at 80 AED, the G3 Pro is the pick for a metal body and 35W, and the A3S is the one to buy only if pocket size matters more than anything else.

Last tested/updated: 3 September 2026. Every price and spec below was checked against the live vapsshop.ae product pages on that date; out-of-stock models (Explorer, G3, A2, A2S, AK2, Koko, G5 Koko) are left out. This guide is for adults aged 18+ only.

The range at a glance

Eight Caliburn models are in stock on vapsshop.ae, and the table below is the whole decision in one place. Every figure comes from the live product page; the battery-per-dirham column is our own calculation (capacity divided by price) and applies to the refillable kits only.

Where a listing doesn’t publish a figure (the G3 Pro’s battery capacity, the G5’s pod size), the table says so rather than guessing. All refillable Caliburns take e-liquid up to the UAE 20mg/ml cap; the Bar 16000 is pre-filled at 20mg/ml.

Caliburn A3S

The Uwell Caliburn A3S is the slimmest Caliburn in stock: 109.8 × 21.3 × 11.7mm, aluminium alloy and PCTG, a 520mAh battery, 16W maximum and a 2ml pod, for 120 AED.

The A3S is a pure mouth-to-lung stick. A 520mAh cell at 16W is a half-day battery for a heavy user and a full day for a light one, and the trade for that is a device you forget is in your pocket. At 120 AED it costs the same as the G3 Pro and GK3 with a third of their battery, so you are paying for the form factor, not the spec. Our Caliburn A3S review covers it in depth.

Caliburn Koko Prime Vision

The Uwell Caliburn Koko Prime Vision is the square-format Caliburn: a 690mAh battery, 18W, a 2ml top-fill pod, a switch between MTL and DTL draws, swappable decorative panels and a translucent body, for 110 AED.

The Koko format suits people who prefer a wide, short device to a stick, and the Prime Vision’s see-through shell and replaceable panels make it the most customisable Caliburn. Its 690mAh cell sits between the A3S and the GK3. The MTL/DTL switch is real but the 18W ceiling keeps the DTL side gentle. Our Caliburn Koko Prime Vision review covers the panels and the draw.

Caliburn GK3

The Uwell Caliburn GK3 is a 74.8 × 49.2 × 17.1mm Koko-style kit with a 900mAh battery, 25W, and 2.5ml G3 cartridges in 0.6Ω and 0.9Ω FeCrAl mesh, for 120 AED.

The GK3 is the Koko body with G3 internals: the same cartridge family as the G3 Pro, a bigger battery than the Prime Vision, and 25W. The 0.6Ω cartridge gives a restricted-lung draw and the 0.9Ω a tight MTL, so one kit covers both. Our Caliburn GK3 review covers it in depth.

Caliburn G3 Pro

The Uwell Caliburn G3 Pro is a 123.5 × 27.8 × 16.8mm zinc-alloy stick with an integrated battery, a 35W maximum, a 0.4–0.9Ω resistance range and a 3ml magnetic pod, for 120 AED. The listing does not publish the battery capacity.

The G3 Pro is the Caliburn for people who want a metal body and the full 35W. The 0.4Ω end of the range gives a proper restricted-lung vape with real vapor, and the 3ml pod is the largest in the stick-format Caliburns. Its one gap is that the listing doesn’t publish the battery capacity, so check with the store before ordering if that matters to you. Our Caliburn G3 Pro review covers it in depth.

Caliburn G5 Lite and G5 Lite SE

The Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite is 80 AED for a 1600mAh battery, 35W, draw activation, a PC/ABS body and GPP pods; the G5 Lite SE is 85 AED for the same battery and output with a 3ml reversible cartridge, a slide airflow from MTL to RDL and a four-bar LED.

These two are the value of the range: twice the battery of the G3 Pro’s class at two-thirds of the price. The plastic body is the trade. Between the two, the SE’s 5 AED buys the airflow slider, the reversible cartridge and the battery LED, and it is the one we’d pick. Our Caliburn G5 Lite review and Caliburn G5 Lite SE review cover each in depth.

Caliburn G5

The Uwell Caliburn G5 is the full-fat version: 118.65 × 28.85 × 16.8mm, a 1600mAh battery, 35W, an aluminium-alloy matte body at 65g, and Type-C 5V/2A charging, for 125 AED. The listing does not publish the pod capacity.

The G5 takes the G5 Lite’s battery and power and wraps them in metal with faster charging. If you want the G5 platform and a premium body, this is it; if you want the G5 platform and don’t care about the body, the Lite SE saves 40 AED. There is no standalone G5 review on vapsshop.ae yet.

Caliburn Bar 16000 disposable

The Uwell Caliburn Bar 16000 is the range’s disposable: 45 AED, 16,000 rated puffs, 20mg/ml, a mesh coil, Type-C recharging and an LED screen showing battery, puff count and settings, with MTL and looser draw options. That works out to 2.81 AED per 1,000 rated puffs.

It is here because it carries the Caliburn name and Uwell’s coil tuning in a pre-filled body. It suits someone who wants the Caliburn draw without refilling, and it is the only Caliburn sold at a fixed 20mg/ml strength. Our Caliburn Bar 16000 review covers it in depth. A larger Caliburn Bar 100K at 55 AED is also listed.

Battery per dirham, ranked

Ranked by battery capacity divided by price, the refillable Caliburns split cleanly: the G5 Lite family at 19–20mAh per AED, the G5 at 13, the GK3 and Prime Vision at 6–8, and the A3S at 4.

  1. G5 Lite: 20.0 mAh per AED (1600mAh, 80 AED)
  2. G5 Lite SE: 18.8 (1600mAh, 85 AED)
  3. G5: 12.8 (1600mAh, 125 AED)
  4. GK3: 7.5 (900mAh, 120 AED)
  5. Koko Prime Vision: 6.3 (690mAh, 110 AED)
  6. A3S: 4.3 (520mAh, 120 AED)

The G3 Pro isn’t ranked because its listing doesn’t state capacity. The mechanism is simple: the plastic-bodied G5 Lites put the money into the cell, the metal-bodied A3S and G5 put it into the chassis. Neither is wrong; it depends on whether you value a day-and-a-half of battery or a device that feels expensive.

Which Caliburn for which vaper

Smallest possible device, pure MTL: A3S (120 AED). Wide Koko format, customisable panels: Koko Prime Vision (110 AED). Koko format with more battery and two cartridge resistances: GK3 (120 AED). Metal stick, 35W, 3ml pod: G3 Pro (120 AED). Best value, biggest battery, don’t mind plastic: G5 Lite SE (85 AED) or G5 Lite (80 AED). G5 platform in a metal body: G5 (125 AED). No refilling, Caliburn draw at 20mg/ml: Caliburn Bar 16000 (45 AED). The full Uwell range on vapsshop.ae also includes the Caliburn X pods, covered in our Caliburn X pods review.

UAE-specific notes

Two rules shape these devices in the UAE: e-liquid nicotine is capped at 20mg/ml under the MOIAT standard UAE.S 5030:2018, and nicotine products may only be sold to adults aged 18 and over under Federal Law No. 15 of 2009.

Nicotine cap. The refillable Caliburns take any e-liquid sold legally in the UAE, all of which sits at or below the 20mg/ml limit set in MOIAT’s mandatory regulation for electronic nicotine products (UAE.S 5030:2018). The Caliburn Bar 16000 is pre-filled at exactly 20mg/ml, the cap itself. For MTL Caliburns, 10–20mg/ml nicotine salt is the usual pairing; for the 0.4Ω restricted-lung end of the G3 Pro and G5, lower strengths suit better.

Age restriction. These products are for adults aged 18 and over. Federal Law No. 15 of 2009 on Tobacco Control prohibits selling tobacco and nicotine products to anyone under 18, and vapsshop.ae verifies age at checkout. Vaping is not risk-free and this guide makes no health claims about it.

Heat and storage. Keep any Caliburn out of a parked car in a Dubai summer, where interiors pass 60°C; thinned e-liquid seeps past the coil and lithium cells degrade. Store filled pods upright and don’t charge in a hot vehicle.

Delivery. vapsshop.ae delivers every Caliburn to all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Dubai orders, including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JBR, Deira, Bur Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah and Al Barsha, usually arrive within about two hours; other emirates typically within 24 hours. Cash on delivery is available, and card payment is accepted for Dubai deliveries.

What other comparisons leave out

Pod families aren’t interchangeable. The GK3 and G3 Pro share G3 cartridges; the G5, G5 Lite and G5 Lite SE share the G5 platform’s pods; the A3S and Koko Prime Vision use their own. Buy the kit whose pods you can find on vapsshop.ae, since the pod is the consumable.

Plastic vs metal is the real price split. Every 120–125 AED Caliburn has a metal body; every 80–90 AED one is plastic. Battery and wattage don’t follow price, so decide on body first.

Two listings don’t state a key spec. The G3 Pro’s battery capacity and the G5’s pod size aren’t on the product pages. We’ve left those cells blank rather than fill them from memory; check before ordering if either matters.

The Bar isn’t a Caliburn kit. It shares the name and the coil tuning, but it is a disposable at a fixed 20mg/ml. Don’t buy it expecting to refill it.

FAQ

Which Uwell Caliburn is the best value?

The G5 Lite at 80 AED and G5 Lite SE at 85 AED: both carry a 1600mAh battery and 35W, the largest cell in the range, at the lowest kit prices. The SE adds an airflow slider, a reversible 3ml cartridge and a battery LED for 5 AED more.

Which Caliburn has the biggest battery?

The G5, G5 Lite and G5 Lite SE all carry 1600mAh. The GK3 has 900mAh, the Koko Prime Vision 690mAh and the A3S 520mAh. The G3 Pro’s listing does not state its capacity.

Which Caliburn is best for mouth-to-lung vaping?

All of them do MTL; the A3S is the purest MTL stick at 16W, and the GK3 and G3 Pro add a tighter 0.9Ω cartridge option. The G5 Lite SE’s slider lets you set the draw from MTL to RDL.

Are Caliburn pods interchangeable between models?

Only within a family. GK3 and G3 Pro share G3 cartridges; G5, G5 Lite and G5 Lite SE share the G5 platform’s pods; the A3S and Koko Prime Vision each use their own pods.

Is the Caliburn Bar 16000 refillable?

No. It is a pre-filled, rechargeable disposable at 20mg/ml with an LED screen, rated at 16,000 puffs, sold for 45 AED. It carries the Caliburn name and coil tuning but not a refillable pod.

Verdict

The Caliburn range is one draw philosophy across eight bodies, so pick by battery and build. The G5 Lite SE is the buy for most people: 1600mAh, 35W, an airflow slider and a 3ml cartridge for 85 AED. The G3 Pro is the metal-bodied pick at 120 AED. The A3S is for pocket size above all, and the Caliburn Bar 16000 is for anyone who wants the draw without refilling.
