As a massive fan of the original Caliburn and the G2, and the KOKO well, in fact, all of the ones I’ve tried over the years – I jumped at the chance to review this awesome bit of kit.

Taking on a different shape to any I’ve tried before, the GZ2 is super comfortable to hold and this is immediately noticeable when you first pick up this rather small device.

With a minuscule weight of 47g, this kit is super lightweight and doesn’t feel too bulky or cumbersome.

Being a little more boxy in shape when compared to many of the previous iterations, I felt like this was definitely a welcomed change and something that gave this kit a bit of a refreshing feel.

With the familiar, sleek and simple exterior, the GZ2 is completely devoid of buttons or screens, and working with a draw activated inhale, this kit relies solely on practicality and simplicity.

The GZ2 does, however, feature a small viewing window to the side of the device, allowing users to easily see the volume of e-liquid in the pod itself, and therefore giving vapers the heads up on when to refill.

Available in a bunch of attractive colours, the GZ2 boasts style and individuality as well as performance. With a surprisingly hefty 850mAh integrated battery, the Caliburn GZ2 is charged remarkably quickly via USB C (with the cable included with the kit). Meaning not only will the battery last nearly a whole day of moderate vaping, but when it does run out, it only takes approximately 30-40mins or so to charge.

Battery life is indicated quite stylishly via intensely bright lights lining the side of the device, red meaning less than 30%, blue meaning 30-60% and green being 60% - 100%.

Offering MTL and RDTL vaping, the GZ2 works absolute wonders alongside thin consistency e-liquids and high nicotine strengths – another bonus for new vapers looking to quit smoking.

The pods that are compatible with this device also feature a small wheel - allowing vapers to adjust the airflow to their chosen preference.

The coils utilised in this kit are the Caliburn G mesh coils, and are available in 0.8ohms and 1.2ohms - and you can choose either to suit your liking.

I found both offered intense throat hits and a smooth and satisfying flavour, something I have come to expect with the Caliburn Series.

In my experience, the coils last me about a week or so before needing to be swapped out for fresh ones. With both coils bringing a short, sharp inhale, you can expect discreet and modest vapour production - no chances of huge, billowy clouds when exhaling.

Filling the 2ml TPD compliant pods is as simple as can be - requiring users to simply pop the cap off, revealing a one way valve that fits nearly every e-liquid bottle tip.

Being a top fill system, I noticed next to no leakage and minimal condensation build up.

For such a small device, the Caliburn GZ7 is remarkably sturdy and robust, sustaining just the smallest amount of cosmetic damage when I clumsily dropped it.

With an RRP of about £20-£25, this kit is a no brainer - especially due to the build quality and user oriented performance.

Looking at this device on the whole, it is easy to appreciate that this kit will make a great choice for new vapers, as well as vapers who use high strength nicotine. It is built with simplicity in mind and performs reliably throughout.

Pros

- Easy to use

- I liked the new shape

- It had a part for vapers to attach a lanyard to, meaning you won’t lose your vape!

- Coils lasted ages

CONS

- I would’ve liked just a tiny bit more flavour when inhaling (although it was still satisfying and intense)
