Compared with the earlier G4 series, the new G5 Lite lineup continues a screenless design and increases battery capacity to 1,600mAh. The three devices also share the same core specifications, including e-liquid capacity, maximum power output, and pod compatibility.

Key Takeaways

 

  • Three G5 Lite models launched on U.S. and U.K. channels: UWELL has introduced the Caliburn G5 Lite, G5 Lite SE, and G5 Lite KOKO, positioned as open-system e-cigarettes, priced at approximately US$11.99–12.99.
  • Differences center on form factor and status indication: The SE and Lite use a bar-style design, while the KOKO adopts a box-style form factor; battery status is shown via a four-segment gradient indicator (SE emphasizes real-time status) or a breathing light.
  • Feature-level differentiation: Among the three, only the G5 Lite explicitly lists stepless airflow control; the other two do not.
  • Core specifications are aligned: All feature 3ml capacity, GPP pod compatibility, 8 color options, a 1600mAh battery with Type-C fast charging, and a 35W max output.
  • Channel availability and compliance status diverge: The products are already listed on e-commerce channels in both markets; the MHRA database shows all three were published on November 26, 2025 under the “Kit” category and are eligible for compliant sale in the U.K., while FDA PMTA marketing authorization has not been granted as of publication.

 

2Firsts, December 10, 2025 ——2Firsts has noted that e-cigarette brand UWELL has recently launched its Caliburn G5 open-system lineup on U.S. channels, including the Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite, Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite SE, and Uwell Caliburn G5 Lite KOKO, priced at approximately US$11.99 to US$12.99.

 

 

Indicator/Breathing Lights Display Status; G5 Lite Offers Stepless Airflow Control

Based on the specifications, the three products mainly differ in form factor, status indication method, and feature details.

 

In terms of design, both the G5 Lite SE and G5 Lite adopt a bar-style body, measuring 29.4×17×113.8mm and 30.2×18×115.4mm, respectively. The G5 Lite KOKO uses a box-style body, sized 86.55×45.5×18.9mm.

 

For status indication, the battery display solutions vary: the G5 Lite SE and G5 Lite are labeled with a “four-segment gradient battery indicator (real-time battery status)”, while the G5 Lite KOKO uses a breathing light to display battery status.

 

On feature configuration, the G5 Lite additionally offers stepless airflow control, while the other two models do not list this feature. 2Firsts also noted that GEEKBAR recently promoted a hookah-style disposable e-cigarette HOOKAH X on its official website, claiming support for “Stepless/Infinite Control”; the website states the product allows continuous adjustment across different draw resistance/air intake ranges. 

 

In terms of core specifications, all three products are consistent: each has a 3ml e-liquid capacity, is compatible with Uwell Caliburn GPP Pod Cartridges, and offers 8 color options. They are all equipped with a 1600mAh battery and support Type-C fast charging, with a maximum power output of 35W.

Comparison with the G4 Series: Screenless Design Continues, Battery Capacity Increased

 

 

Compared with UWELL’s earlier Caliburn G4 series (CALIBURN G4 CLASSIC, CALIBURN G4 PRO KOKO, CALIBURN G4 PRO, CALIBURN G4 MINI, CALIBURN G4), all three new products in the G5 lineup do not include a screen. Instead, device status is displayed via an indicator light or breathing light.

In terms of baseline parameters, the G5 series increases battery capacity to 1600mAh. In the G4 series, the base model’s battery capacity is 1300mAh, while some models feature higher capacities (e.g., 1800mAh and 2000mAh) to support screen-related power needs.

Reuters Tracks Big Tobacco’s Shift Beyond Cigarettes as Nicotine Pouches Vie for the Next Growth Curve
Reuters Tracks Big Tobacco’s Shift Beyond Cigarettes as Nicotine Pouches Vie for the Next Growth Curve
As cigarette markets face long-term pressure, major tobacco companies are increasingly turning to nicotine pouches in search of growth beyond combustible tobacco. Reuters has examined whether nicotine pouches can become the next strategic growth platform for companies including Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco. PMI strengthened its position through the acquisition of Swedish Match and its ZYN brand, while BAT and JTI continue expanding their own nicotine pouch portfolios. The category has gained attention because of its smoke-free, device-free format, but regulation, youth-use concerns and market scale will determine whether it can become a long-term growth engine.

As Regulators Focus on Nicotine Pouch Child Safety, Safeguard Pursues an External Packaging Route
As regulators pay closer attention to child safety in nicotine pouches, manufacturers face a practical challenge: how to strengthen child-resistant packaging without unnecessarily reworking products, production lines and regulatory submissions already in place. In a written interview with 2Firsts, Chemular detailed Safeguard’s external packaging approach, its customer-specific testing requirements and possible PMTA pathways. The model remains early-stage, but it offers a new way to think about an increasingly important regulatory and manufacturing issue.

EU ‘TPD3’ Enters Next Phase on Aug. 14 as Fragmented Vape and Nicotine Pouch Rules Push the Single Market Toward Regulatory Overhaul
A 12-week European Commission consultation on revising the Tobacco Products Directive and Tobacco Advertising Directive is due to close on Aug. 14, 2026. The Commission has identified e-cigarette flavours, disposable vapes, tobacco heating devices, nicotine pouches, nicotine-free e-cigarettes, packaging and digital marketing among areas for possible new EU rules. National regulations already vary significantly across the bloc, a fragmentation the Commission says creates internal-market barriers and distorts competition. No formal revised TPD/TAD legislative text has yet been published, with the Commission currently indicating December 2026 for the legislative initiative.
