Uwell Caliburn G4 vs Vaporesso XROS 5: Which Pod Vape Reigns in Metro Vancouver?

1. Introduction – A Vancouver Vaper’s Dilemma

Looking for a pod system in vancouver that balances flavour, portability, and reliability? Two standout contenders are the Uwell Caliburn G4 and Vaporesso XROS 5. Both offer refillable pods, airflow control, and fast charging – but subtle differences can make one a better fit depending on your lifestyle and preferences.

2. Device Rundown: Caliburn G4

The Caliburn G4 is a sleek, small-footprint pod device weighing just ~48 g with an aluminum-alloy body and ridged grip for pocket comfort. It sports a 0.85-inch colour screen that shows battery level, wattage, and puff count while being elegant yet simple.

Power comes from a built-in 1300 mAh battery, and a 5 V/2 A USB‑C port fully charges it in about 30 to 35 minutes a full day’s worth even for moderate users. The dual power modes (Storm and Waves) offer output up to 35 W, easily supporting both mouth-to-lung and restricted direct-lung vaping.

Flavor delivery is powered by Uwell’s Pro‑FOCS 4.0 mesh coils with dual airflow adjustment side slider and pod orientation giving you control over how tight or airy your draw is. Pods hold 3 ml (or 2 ml in TPD regions) with a top-fill system plus anti-leak seals—a design that has earned praise for being mess-free.

3. Device Rundown: Vaporesso XROS 5

The Vaporesso XROS 5 tips the scale at ~73.7 g and features a polished aluminum alloy body with a larger 0.88-inch OLED screen that offers six color themes, battery percentage, puff counter, resistance, and even a charge estimate.

Under the hood is a beefy 1500 mAh battery with 3 A rapid USB‑C charging going from zero to 80% in around 20 minutes ideal for longer days or heavy usage. Adjustable power modes (Eco, Normal, Power) combined with an airflow slider cater to both MTL and RDL styles.

The spotlight feature is COREX 3.0 mesh coil pods available in 0.4 Ω, 0.6 Ω, 0.8 Ω, 1.0 Ω, and 1.2 Ω resistances, promising richer flavour and longer coil life via a hive-mesh and microfiber tech. Pods are refillable with 3/2 ml capacity, feature top-fill, and SSS leak-resistant tech.
