Hey now. I owned 8 original Sonder U devices. I still use 1 today daily as a back-up. I moved up to the Vaporesso Lux XR Max as my new favorite device. I needed more than the 0.7 oHm coil that comes with the Sonder U. The regular Sonder U is a very good device. I compared it to the Caliburn. Consistent & reliable performance. This Q2 looks …OK. To me it would be going backwards. The battery is bigger, device is a bit longer than the U and it has air flow control. Might be a great fit for the newbie or someone not wanting a big cloud. Peace & blessings to all.
Ok Mike, got to say with regards to "only 1 pod". I get the idea of device & 1 pod for "budget purchase" idea & I also understand the "spare pod included" situation. So, why? Well from a company veiw :- we sell a budget friend device so new to vaping/ quit smoking peeps can try vaping & see if its right for them without splashing out too much cash. Now where every single pod vape manufacturer goes wrong…pack of PODS (3 or 5 pack or whatever denomination) when they forget to sell single replacement pods for maximum "up selling" (Well at least here in old TPD compliant Britain 🇬🇧). Pod & device only is technically sold as "replacement" & why? Well the local vape shop then sell "starter/quit smoking" kits, normally device & pod, pack of 3 or 5 replacement pods & say 3 10ml bottles of Nic Salt liquids all for say £30, device only £10. Now if they did a budget starter kit of device kit, single spare & a 10ml bottle of liquid for £18 it would be better. The problem is nobody sells a single spare or replacement pod. Sure some manufacturers do the spare pod as part of the kit but what I've noticed is that kit is normally £20 & then you have to buy liquid. So most of the manufacturers only do device & pod only & drive the cost down. Let's be honest the average smoker will look at all the device's in a vape shop & say "that one, yeah the cheap one, that £10 one, that'll do me"…. Long & short… manufacturers like cheap because that's what a customer wants & vape shops like 5 spare pods included & couple of bottles…oh & here's a lanyard as well "Hay you want a charger cable also?" Up selling all in starter kits because a £35 sale is better than a £10 sale. It the pack of 3 or 5 pods that the real problem. A single replacement pod sale at say £2 is the answer. Not just for the new vapers but also the existing vaping peeps…."nothing worse that being out & your coil in the pod is about to die, so you buy a pack of pods when all you need is just one (because back home you have 12 spare)….& that is the answer….its the old "12 hotdogs but only 8 buns" scenario!!! Anyway that's my take on it! Keep up the work & spreading the vaping word buddy 👍
Mike is caliburn g3 better or g3 pro? I’ve been using jackaroo for about 1.5 months already but it’s a lil bit bigger for me. So I want to shift to a pod device and I’m confused between these two.. g3 or g3 pro
I just ordered the Q2 and waiting for it to land. I had the oh soder and I liked it. Gave it to a friend to help him get off the cigs. I watched to see what you thought of the new sonder.
Mike έχω δοκιμάσει αρκετά pods συμπεριλαμβανομένου και του sonder q2 , αλλά για να είμαι ειλικρινής τα Caliburn G2 και G3 είναι ότι καλύτερο έχω ατμίσει από pods. Σε ευχαριστούμε για ακόμη μια φορά για το review!
I haven't been getting notifications for your videos and I always check to make sure I have all on in the notifications tab …… just check your channel daily now .
Is this one better than the sonder q?? I just watched your review on that one too. My husband uses disposables and I wanna get him a pod to try instead.
Safe bet- This is one of the best "1st vape" options a smoker wanting to get off the stanks will find.
The airflow adjustment feature makes it SIMPLE to dial in whatever "drag-style" puff you're used to, & the flavor/"throat hit" you get from Q pods is top-tier, IMO. (Note- As a general rule, higher nic % ejuice = stronger throat hit)
1 pod, No charge cord👊🏻
I like the O/fire button designed in logo w/light
Nice grab n go
Thanks Mike well done

The best pod system of 2025
Another pod system. Let's make some new rdas or rtas. I still need to get the blaze or blaze solo. Unfortunately my local store won't get it for me.
pls review caliburn g3 pro koko
