    Uwell Caliburn G2

    Started with two original Caliburns, then got two G's. I tried the A2, but don't like the unitized pod/coil design. Had my new G2 about three weeks and love it. Long battery life, adjustable air, and great taste. Both G's went through the wash in the pocket of my jeans. A few days to dry out...

    caliburn g device spoilt by dud coil?

    It appears that Uwell has a build quality issue with the G coils. I just purchased a box of new coils and the first one installed resulted in a flashing red LED. Tried a second coil and was back in business.

    Uwell Caliburn A2 Review

    As I carry my G's in my pocket, not being able to switch off the fire button on the A2 presents a problem. Why did Uwell decide to switch back to a combined pod/coil on the A2 like the original Caliburn and not stay with replaceable coils like the Caliburn G?

    STOP THE NEW VAPE TAX!

    Taxing a product at an excessive rate only drive sales underground. A $20 tax on a 60 ml bottle of 6 mg juice that retails for about $10 is crazy. I wrote to my elected representatives in DC and Austin but I don't expect much as they're inundated with angry emails regarding their passing of the...

    Uwell Caliburn A2 Review

    I had two original Caliburn devices that I loved. I lost one two weeks ago and the other was damaged when it went through the wash. I also have a Caliburn G that I purchased over a year ago that I love. And I just bought another G device as I like the ability to change coils. I have an Aegis POD...

    caliburn g device spoilt by dud coil?

    The Uwell Caliburn G claims to have short circuit protection. I believe there may have been a release of bad coils. When my device stopped working I tried a new coil but it still didn't work so I tossed it in a drawer. Months later I found a coil and decided to try the G again with the new coil...

    Calling all ex-smokers.... how long since your last cigarette?

    I started smoking while in the military and continued for over 30 years. On entering my senior years I realized that growing old was hard enough on my health without adding the harmful effects of tobacco. My last cigarette was in early 2011. I socialize with a number of smokers and the thought...

    Artisan Vapor Company

    With the ban on shipping vape products coupled with the requirement to have an adult sign for delivery, consider yourself lucky if you have a local vape shop. I'm fortunate in that I have an Artisan Vapor store near me with a knowledgeable staff and great products. I'm tired of the BS required...

    What a difference on the other side of the Atlantic...

    Governor Abbott wants a bill from the Texas Legislature that would allow anyone to carry a handgun without the need for a permit or training. If passed, it will be harder to get e-juice or replacement coils then to buy a 357 S&W Magnum and a box of hollow point bullets. Unreasoned behavior seems...

    US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

    I was in the process of placing an online order for coils and juice when I was informed of a $16 signature fee. It appears that you can still buy vape products but it must be signed for by an adult over 21. I cancelled my order and got what I needed at a brick & mortar vape shop. I paid about $6...

    Caliburn G and coil life

    When I switched from sub-ohm tank mods using 6mg nicotine freebase liquid at >45 watts to the Caliburn, I purchased salt nic at 50mg - way too strong. The 25mg was better for me. As a smoker trying to quit, I would try the 50mg juice. When I first tried to quit smoking back in 2010, I started on...

    Caliburn G help

    I've had my Caliburn G for about a month. Check that the coil is inserted properly in the pod. Also check the bottom of the pod for any e-liquid or foreign material on the coil's contact. With the pod removed, look down into the recess where the two electrical contacts are located. Ensure that...

    Ohm's Vapes are done...

    When I learned that Ohm's Vapes were closing I bought enough juice to last through the year. Given the FDA's Deeming regulations, what suppliers can afford to remain in business? The FDA considers each e-juice with a differing flavoring variant or nicotine strength to be a different product...

    SMOK Nfix Kit [Deleted]

    I've been using my Nfix for just over a week now. My initial impression is positive. The device is well made and fits comfortably in the hand. The smooth pod is a bit difficult to remove (slight arthritis).I understand that the mouthpiece needs to be smooth on the upper/lower surfaces that...

    I need your opinion/suggestion

    I've been a sub-ohm, low nicotine (<6 mg) user since 2014. A few months ago the wife (non-smoker) started complaining about the clouds of vapor, especially when in the car. In an attempt to placate the wife I decided to try a low-power, refillable pod device as I heard they produce less vapor...

    Do I need to use nic salts with small devices?

    I've used sub ohm tanks with 3 mg nicotine juice since 2012. I have a habit of chain vaping which led to complaints from the wife about the clouds of vapor always in the air. I knew that devices like the Uwell Caliburn produced considerably less vapor and that you could switch to a higher nic...

    Couple QUESTIONS & Comments

    I've been vaping sub-ohm devices for years and have reduced my nicotine percentage to 3mg. My wife complained about the clouds when vaping indoors or in the car so I purchased a disposable (Puff Bar $9.25) as I believed they produced much less vapor. My local vape shop suggested I try the Uwell...

    Jackaroo

    I've had my Jackaroo about a year now and I'm very pleased with its performance. Yes it's a bit heavy but as a large man I don't mind the weight. I spend a good part of the year in the pool and its water resistant feature is a plus. The rubberized coating provides a secure grip even with wet...

    Jackaroo

    I had an Aegis Legend and was very happy with it for about 3 months. First, the battery door button fell off ... not happy but could still open the door using anything with a small pointy tip. Within a month the battery door wouldn't stay closed because the locking tab failed. For a mod claiming...

    Flavor ban?

    I find the whole thing to be another example of ignorance over a reasoned, fact-based approach. Politicians never miss an opportunity to grandstand while providing no sensible solution. As someone who knows a large number of adult e-cig users, I'd estimate less than 5% vape tobacco flavored...
