Review: Utillian 5 V3 Vaporizer kit

How it Works

Like most wax pens, the battery of the Utillian 5 V3 turns on with five quick clicks and can cycle between temperature/wattage settings with a double click. There is airflow adjustment on the bottom of the atomizer, which you can tailor to your preferred draw restriction.

To load the Utillian 5 V3, remove the mouthpiece to expose the heating coil, place a small amount of wax directly to the coil and place the mouthpiece back on the pen.

Holding the button down will power up the coils and prepare you to take a hit. Inhale while holding the button down and you’re ready to go! It’s best to melt your wax onto the coils by pulsing the power button a few times before going for your hits.utillian 5 3 colors

Temperature Flexibility

 

Similar to the Utillian 2, the battery comes pre-programmed with 4 heat settings which can be used with either of the Utillian 5 coils that come in titanium or twisted kanthal and range from 2.2v, 2.4v, 2.6v, & 2.8v.

We tested each one of the settings thoroughly (such tough work) and found that the bottom 2 are more geared towards those who prefer flavor and like to sip on a session.

The highest 2 temperature settings really brought the thunder, pumping out some serious clouds. The higher temperatures are better for those who enjoy more vapor or want to clear a load in one draw.

Vapor Quality

We must say though, the lower temperatures develop some amazing flavors at the lack of pure, lung-busting cloud production that the higher temperatures produce on par with the The Core. A lot of the performance will depend on the coils that you use as well.

The triple titanium coils are designed to take larger loads of wax and will produce some face melting vapor.

The 4mm twisted kanthal is no slouch either in the vapor department but can be scaled back a bit more easily for smaller loads and more flavor.

There is also the option of a glass bubbler which can add some water-filtration allowing you to milk your Utillian 5 V3 for some huge tasty hits.

Bar none, the Utillian 5 V3 atomizers produce the best vapor quality from almost every portable wax vaporizer we’ve ever tried, and we’ve tried a lot of wax vapes in our time!utillian 5 disassembled

Manufacturing Quality

The Utillian 5 V3 itself is terrifically made and a premium product. It’s sleek, feels nice, is well machined and rugged.

The Utillian 5 V3 atomizer use black ceramic rods as opposed to the quartz rods found in a lot of atomizers out there such as the Aurora Wax Pen. The black ceramic is porous allowing the wax to soak in and wick rather than slip to the bottom of the cup, which tends to be the case with quartz rods. The end result is more vapor and less wasted wax.

The battery on this baby is beefy, we will touch on it a bit more below, but it certainly outshines most others on the market.

In the box are the battery, the Utillian 5 V3 itself, a triple titanium black ceramic atomizer, a jumbo kanthal black ceramic atomizer, USB charger, spare o-rings, and dabbing tool. A pretty good piece of kit for the price you pay and everything is pretty good quality.

Battery Life

 

The Utillian 5 battery has a whopping 1500mAh capacity which is great considering most wax pens like the Hypnos Zero cap out around 650mAh, and even the Gammatron, which is known to have a big battery is only 800 mAh.

You’ll still get a ton of powerful hits off a single charge and it should last frequent users a few days, while the casual user can go weeks before needing a charge.

Portability

It is a tad larger than most wax pens. But that being said it’s more than manageable to take out with you for the day, easily slipping into your pocket. We do recommend however, storing the Utillian 5 in a separate case such as the Zeus Armor.

With the amount of power at your disposal, you shouldn’t have to worry about charging the Utillian 5 when you go out for the night and even if you do have to charge it, just plug it into any standard micro USB cable.

Ease of Use

The Utillian 5 is the perfect unit for beginners and seasoned vets alike. It is easy enough to be picked up by anyone who is just starting with wax and concentrates.

Cleaning it is a breeze, especially with the assistance of a dedicated cleaning aid such as the Zeus Purify cleaning kit.  For even more help on how to clean a wax pen, you can check out our blog here.

The one button operation is an absolute breeze to get the hang of and the newly revamped atomizer it comes with integrates a built-in splashguard and loading tool which both turn out to be useful when loading the Utillian 5 on the go. Similar to the Utillian 8, this device is easy to use thanks to its in built tools.

The Utillian 5 (V3) hits hard enough and is reliable enough that veterans will also find it a worthy addition to their collection. The Utillian 5 is a work-horse when it comes to wax, able to simply get the job done when you need it to. Users looking for a device that can help them vape both the wax and herbs usually tend to prefer the Tourist 2-in-1.

Discreetness

 

It looks like a conventional e-cigarette and won’t gather too much attention – ignoring the smell it may produce.

Unlike the Source Orb 4 Signature Kit, you can take a super quick, powerful hit in less than 10 seconds and stow it away if you need to in those tight situations.

For those wondering if vaping does leave a smell, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling some data and opinions to help address your concerns. Feel free to check it out!

It is an absolute workhorse of a wax pen, handling almost anything you can throw at it, providing some serious vapor. The option to use the Utillian 5 water filter is just icing on the cake at this point.

As for cleaning, it naturally still requires the occasional maintenance. Make sure to check out our comprehensive guide on cleaning if you’re concerned on how to clean your Utillian 5.

In addition, the Utillian 5 is also compatible with the recently updated Utillian Glass Bubbler which is a great accessory for introducing water-cooled sessions into the mix.
