Caliburn G5 Lite SE leather finishes
Every G5 Lite SE shares the same internals and the same leather-effect dual-tone shell. The only thing changing across the range is the leather colour and the colour of the striped texture beneath it.
| Colour | Finish |

| Black Leather | Classic black leather, understated and premium |
| Brown Leather | Warm tan-brown, traditional leather tone |
| Gray Leather | Muted grey, neutral and modern |
| Blue Leather | Deep blue with leather grain |
| Purple Leather | Rich purple, distinctive and bold |
| Pink Leather | Soft pink with subtle texture |
| Orange Leather | Warm orange, bright and statement |
| White Leather | Clean off-white, minimal and sleek |
About the Caliburn G5 Lite SE
The G5 Lite SE is Uwell's premium-finish version of the G5 Lite kit. SE stands for Special Edition, and the changes versus the standard G5 Lite are entirely cosmetic. Inside the device, the battery, chipset, Smart Mode, PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology and GPP pod compatibility are all identical. The differences are in the chassis itself, where Uwell pairs a leather-effect outer panel with a striped texture beneath, giving the kit a more upmarket feel intended for vapers who want their pod system to look as considered as it performs.
Like the standard G5 Lite, the SE is draw-activated, lightweight and shaped to sit comfortably in the hand for everyday use. There are no buttons and no menus to learn. You charge the device, click in a pod, fill it, and inhale to vape. The leather effect is a printed and textured finish, not genuine leather, which keeps the device weight low and means there's nothing to condition or replace over time.
Battery life and charging
The G5 Lite SE carries the same 1600mAh internal battery as the standard G5 Lite. Uwell rates the device for up to six days of light use between charges, with most adult vapers seeing a full day of moderate use before needing to top up. Charging is handled through a USB-C port on the base of the device. A four-bar gradient LED indicator on the body shows current battery status at a glance, with green for full and red for low. A USB-C cable is not included in the box, so use any standard USB-C lead.
Smart Mode and PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology
The G5 Lite SE uses Uwell's Smart Mode, which automatically reads the resistance of the pod you've installed and tunes the wattage to suit. A 1.2 ohm GPP pod gets a tight MTL draw at low wattage. A 0.4 ohm pod gets warmer, looser RDL output up to the kit's 35W maximum. There's no manual adjustment to make, which keeps the kit simple to live with regardless of which pod you have in.
PRO-FOCS 4.0 is the latest generation of Uwell's flavour-tuning system, designed to keep the e-liquid's full aroma intact across the life of the pod. Uwell rates it for up to 35 percent longer coil life than the previous generation, which means more refills before the flavour fades and the pod needs replacing.
Pod compatibility
The G5 Lite SE accepts the full Caliburn GPP pod platform plus the older Caliburn G3 pods. Across both platforms you have eight resistance options to choose from. GPP top fill pods refill via a cap at the top of the pod. GPP side fill pods refill via a rubber-plugged port on the side. Caliburn G3 pods are still supported as a backwards-compatible option. Rotating the pod 180 degrees in the device switches the airflow between a tight MTL inhale and a looser RDL draw.

Caliburn G5 Lite SE: frequently asked questions
What does the SE in Caliburn G5 Lite SE stand for?
SE stands for Special Edition. It refers to the chassis finish, which uses a leather-effect outer panel paired with a striped texture, rather than the translucent dual-layer shell of the standard G5 Lite. The internals are the same across both versions.
Is the leather on the G5 Lite SE real leather?
No. The leather effect is a printed and textured finish on the chassis itself, not genuine leather. This keeps the device weight low, means it does not absorb e-liquid spills, and ensures there's no leather to condition or replace over time. The look and feel imitate leather closely without the maintenance.
Is the G5 Lite SE more powerful than the standard G5 Lite?
No. The two kits are identical in performance. Both run a 1600mAh battery, both push up to 35W, both use Smart Mode and PRO-FOCS 4.0, and both accept the same GPP and G3 pods. The decision between the SE and the standard G5 Lite is a styling choice, not a performance choice.
Which pods fit the G5 Lite SE?
The G5 Lite SE accepts every Caliburn GPP pod (top fill and side fill, in 0.4, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 ohm) plus the older Caliburn G3 pods. It does not fit the older Caliburn G or G2 mesh pods, which use a different platform.
Is the G5 Lite SE a good choice for beginners?
Yes. The SE is draw-activated, with no fire button and no wattage settings to learn. Smart Mode handles pod resistance automatically, the airflow is set by rotating the pod, and the only thing you need to do is fill the pod and click it in. It's one of the simpler refillable pod kits to start on.
How long does the G5 Lite SE battery last?
Battery life depends on usage. Uwell rates the 1600mAh battery for up to six days of light use between charges. Most adult vapers using the kit through the day see a full day of moderate use before needing to recharge. USB-C charging brings the device back to full in under an hour with a standard cable.
Will the leather finish wear off over time?
The leather-effect finish is bonded to the chassis and designed to handle daily pocket carry, but no printed surface is fully scratch-proof. Keeping the device away from keys, coins and other sharp items in the same pocket will protect the finish. Light marks can usually be wiped clean with a soft cloth.
