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.

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.

U.S. Ninth Circuit Upholds FDA Denial of MH Global’s Flavored Vape PMTA Applications
U.S. Ninth Circuit Upholds FDA Denial of MH Global’s Flavored Vape PMTA Applications
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the FDA’s denial of MH Global LLC’s applications to market flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The court ruled that FDA’s comparative-efficacy framework, which requires applicants to show that flavored products provide greater cessation or switching benefits than tobacco-flavored alternatives, is consistent with the Tobacco Control Act’s “appropriate for the protection of the public health” standard. The court also found that FDA was not required to establish the framework through notice-and-comment rulemaking.

Special Report | From New York to Washington: How FDA’s Tobacco Center Is Reworking Product Review
FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products is reshaping how it approaches tobacco product review. Based on 2Firsts’ on-site reporting in New York and Washington, this report traces CTP’s emerging direction: stronger links between PMTA and tobacco harm reduction, more category-specific review, greater emphasis on decision-relevant science, more predictable timelines and expanded use of sPMTA for product modifications. CTP also acknowledged major constraints, including just nine PMTA review teams, persistent backlogs and limits on hiring capacity.

California Lawmakers Pass Disposable Nicotine Vape Ban, With Sales Prohibition Set for 2028
According to CBS Los Angeles on August 27, 2026, California lawmakers have passed Assembly Bill 762, which would phase out disposable, battery-embedded nicotine vapes in the state. If signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, manufacturing and importation of the covered products would be prohibited beginning January 1, 2027, followed by a sales ban on January 1, 2028. Driven primarily by concerns over electronic waste, lithium-battery fires and environmental pollution, the legislation would further shift California’s legal vape market toward rechargeable, refillable or replaceable-pod devices.
