Caliburn G3 pods explained

Meet the Caliburn G3 pod family

Caliburn G3 pods are sealed pods with built-in mesh coils. You replace the whole pod when flavor drops. The G3 line offers multiple resistances so you can tune draw, warmth, and nicotine strength to your taste.

You will commonly see 0.6 Ω and 0.9 Ω pods in stores, along with options like 1.2 Ω for a tighter pull and 0.4 Ω for a warmer vape(The 0.4 Ω pod is mainly for the G3 Pro). Lower ohms feel warmer and move more vapor. Higher ohms feel cooler and sip e-liquid more slowly.

How each resistance feels

• 0.4 Ω: warm and lively. Best with lower nicotine and a slightly looser draw. Use a steady pace and give the wick a moment between puffs.
• 0.6 Ω: balanced warmth with good flavor pop. Works well with low to mid nicotine. A popular daily pick if you like a bit of airflow.
• 0.9 Ω: smooth and calm. Pairs well with mid nicotine, tight to medium draw, and all-day use.
• 1.2 Ω: coolest and tightest. Great for higher nicotine and a classic mouth-to-lung feel.

There is no “best” pod for everyone. Start with what matches your current habits. If you are moving from disposables and want a soft draw, the higher ohms will feel familiar. If you enjoy a touch of warmth and thicker vapor, drop to a lower ohm.

Salt nic or freebase

Salt nic pairs nicely with 0.9–1.2 Ω pods in a tighter draw. This combo is smooth at modest power. Freebase often shines in 0.4–0.6 Ω pods with a touch more airflow. For mixed use, keep two pods: one filled with a cool fruit or mint salt, one with a warmer freebase blend.

Priming and first fill

1. 1
   Fill the new pod and leave a tiny air gap at the top so pressure can settle.
2. 2
   Wait five minutes. This lets the cotton soak fully so the first hits do not taste burnt.
3. 3
   Take two or three gentle primer pulls without firing if your device has a button. This draws liquid into the coil.

Airflow and draw style

If your device has an airflow slider, start in the middle. For a cigarette-like pull, close it a little. For a relaxed, airy puff, open it a touch. Small moves make a big difference. Test five puffs, adjust, repeat.

Flavor pairing tips

• Cool fruit and mints: taste crisp on 0.9–1.2 Ω pods at a tight to medium draw.
• Dessert and bakery: open up on 0.4–0.6 Ω where warmth helps layers show.
• Tobacco profiles: many people like 0.9 Ω with a tighter draw for a calm, steady hit.

Stop leaks, gurgles, and dry hits

• Overfill is the enemy. Leave a small air pocket. Snap the cap on firmly.
• Keep liquid above the ports. Running a pod dry singes cotton. Refill earlier.
• Heat thins liquid. Do not leave the device in a hot car. Store upright when possible.
• Clear a flood. With the device off, take two gentle puffs, or flick the pod into a tissue to move excess liquid out of the chimney.

When to replace a pod

Swap the pod when flavor fades, the draw tightens for no reason, or you taste a dull, burnt edge that does not go away after a refill. Sweet liquids tire pods faster. Many users keep a fresh spare in the box so they can switch the moment taste drops.

Cost control with pods

Pods cost less per day than disposables when you refill the same device. Keep a quick note on your phone: date you opened the pod, flavor, and when the taste dropped. After a few cycles you will know which resistance and flavors last longest for you.

Troubleshooting quick list

No vapor: check that the pod is fully seated and contacts are clean. Try a second pod to rule out a dud.

Burnt hit on a new pod: not enough priming or chain-puffing too soon. Refill, wait, and take shorter puffs at first.

Weak flavor: close the airflow a little, try a lower ohm pod, or switch to a fresher pod.

Care in Calgary’s dry climate

Dry air pulls moisture from cotton wicks. Keep the pod topped up and avoid long dry pulls. If you vape outdoors in winter, keep the device warm in a pocket so e-liquid stays consistent.

Simple two-pod routine

1. 1
   Keep one pod for a cool flavor and one for a warm flavor so you can switch moods without mixing tastes.
2. 2
   Rotate them daily. This gives each wick time to rest and keeps both tasting clean.

What to buy today

If you want a calmer, cigarette-like feel, start with 0.9–1.2 Ω. If you want warmth and a little cloud, try 0.6 Ω. If you already like big flavor at low nicotine, test 0.4 Ω with a mindful pace.

Reminder: Vaping products may contain nicotine. Nicotine is addictive. Keep pods away from children and pets.
