How to Use the Uwell Caliburn G4 & G4 Mini – Full Guide for Irish Vapers
If you've just picked up a Uwell Caliburn G4 or G4 Mini, getting started is straightforward once you know the basics. These devices are known for their smooth draw, strong flavour, and beginner-friendly design.
Quick Answer: To use a Caliburn G4, fill the pod with e-liquid, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, insert it into the device, and inhale to vape. Most models are draw-activated and very easy to use.

What’s the Difference Between Caliburn G4 and G4 Mini?
Both devices are part of the Uwell Caliburn range and use similar pods, but there are a few key differences:
- Caliburn G4: More control with adjustable settings
- G4 Mini: Simpler, fully draw-activated design
Both are ideal for use with nic salt e-liquids and are perfect for beginners.
