Utillian is well known for making high quality vaporizers and has had a few renowned devices throughout the years. One of those devices is the Utillian 5, a Wax Pen that has proven itself time and time again. In this review we are going to go over this unit and its recent updates.
Let’s dive into the details and discover if the Utillian 5 is still a top unit to consider. I will be using other popular Dab Pens to compare to the Utillian 5. If you want to see more comparisons check out the Wax Pen Ranking Page we made specifically for users that want to get straight to the point.
How it Works
The Utillian 5 promises a potent and pleasurable vaping session. But how do we get the U5 running? As with any Wax vaporizer, it is recommended to charge your device fully before you use it.
Here are the basic steps on how to use the Utillian 5:
- Step 1: Quickly press the button 5 times to turn on the Utillian 5.
- Step 2: Remove the Mouthpiece and use the tool at the bottom of it to scoop up some Wax.
- Step 3: Place the Mouthpiece back onto the rest of the unit.
- Step 4: Press the button twice to cycle through the 4 preset voltages.
- Step 5: Press and hold the button to start heating. Inhale when ready.
The U5 heats up almost instantly, but for those of you who like to have longer or stronger sessions, I recommend holding down the button for a little bit longer than usual. This will ensure you heat up as much concentrate as you can before inhaling.
Temperature Flexibility
The Utillian 5 is one of the few dab pens that comes with 4 temperature settings. You can use either one of the Utillian 5 coils that come in titanium and twisted Kanthal form. Each setting is determined by a different amount of white LED’s:
- 2.2 Volts – 1 White LED
- 2.4 Volts – 2 White LEDs
- 2.6 Volts – 3 White LEDs
- 2.8 Volts – 4 White LEDs
At lower heat, the Utillian 5 brings out great flavors. In this setting, it’s not about big clouds but more about enjoying the taste. We thoroughly tested each of the settings and found that the bottom 2 are more geared toward 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. These settings are better suited for those who enjoy more vapor or want to clear a load in one draw.
Vapor Quality
The Utillian 5 is a workhorse but how good is its vapor? Well, the first step to high quality vapor is airflow, and the U5 provides a mechanism to adjust the airflow. You can twist the ring to get more airflow—the more holes are showing, the freer the airflow.
The Utillian 5 is known for making big clouds. It’s strong and can last a long time without needing to charge it again. You will get two types of coils to enhance the vaping experience – The Triple Titanium Coils and The Triple Twisted Kanthal.
The triple titanium coils can handle a lot of wax and make thick vapor. The 4mm Kanthal coil is also good for vapor, but it’s better for smaller amounts and more flavor.
Another cool feature is that the Uillian 5 is compatible with the Utillian Glass Bubbler which is perfect for those that want to combine large amounts of vapor with water filtrated hits.
Manufacturing Quality
The Utillian 5 is really a premium Dab Pen. It comes with a Multi-Function button for seamless use. It’s sleek, feels nice, and is well-machined. In the box, you will get the Utillian 5 itself, a triple titanium black ceramic atomizer, a jumbo Kanthal black ceramic atomizer, a USB-C charger, spare o-rings, and the dab tool, which is built into the mouthpiece. It’s a pretty good piece of kit for the price you pay, and everything is good quality.
The Utillian 5 is a testament to robust, high-quality manufacturing. Like the Tronian Gammatron, it is built with stainless steel with a PVD coating, which not only gives it a sleek and stylish look but also ensures its durability. This sturdy construction makes the Utillian 5 resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of daily use.
The Utillian 5 atomizer uses black ceramic rods rather than the quartz rods found in many atomizers. The porous black ceramic allows 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.
Battery Life
The Utillian 5 has a whopping 1500mAh battery capacity, which is very powerful, especially compared to most Dab Pens, which have 500mAh to 800mAh. Still, the U5 is slightly larger than these Wax Pens, but Utillian made the Utillian 2 for those who prefer portability over raw power.
For frequent users, the Utillian 5 offers enough power to last through several days of regular use on a single charge. Casual users will find that the battery can go weeks before needing a recharge, a feature that adds considerable convenience and enhances the device’s portability to some extent.
Charging the Utillian 5 is straightforward and efficient. The device features a USB-C charging port, which provides faster and more stable charging compared to older USB types. The device typically reaches full capacity from completely drained to fully charged within two hours. The white LED indicators provide a clear and intuitive way to monitor the charging status during the charging process. When you notice all LEDs are white and steady, your device is fully charged.
So, whether you’re looking for a device that can handle long travel days, extended sessions, or infrequent, potent uses, the Utillian 5’s battery capacity meets these needs with reliability and efficiency.
Portability
Weighing only 138 grams, the Utillian 5 is easy to carry. Though it’s slightly larger than some other Dab Pens, it’s not hard to carry with you while on the move. You can easily slip it into your pocket. However, we recommend storing and carrying the Utillian 5 in a separate case, such as the Zeus Armor.
If you are looking for a more portable Dab Pen, you can opt for a device like Tronian Gammatron. It’s the most discreet and portable wax pen that you can slide into the pocket or bag without any fuss. On top of that, you don’t even need a Wax container, since the Gammatron comes with one built into the bottom of it.
However, the longer battery life of the Utillian 5 will technically help with portability if you were to be a long time away from any chargers.
Ease of Use
The Utillian 5 is the perfect unit for beginners and seasoned vets alike. It is easy enough to pick up by anyone who is just starting with concentrates. Cleaning the device is also pretty straightforward. You can clean your Utillian 5 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 article.
The most important piece to keep clean is your chamber. Soaking the chamber in 99% Alcohol for up to 30 seconds will do the trick. Just make sure to let it dry off for some time so that the alcohol evaporates.
The multi-function button operation is an absolute breeze to master, and the newly revamped atomizer it comes with integrates a built-in splashguard and loading tool, both of which are useful when loading the Utillian 5 on the go. It seems like Utillian is a fan of these tools since the Utillian 8 also has something similar.
The Utillian 5 hits hard and is reliable enough that veterans will also find it a worthy addition to their collection. It is a workhorse when it comes to wax, able to get the job done everytime.
Discreetness
Thanks to its stainless steel body, the Utillian 5 looks stylish. It’s good for people who want to vape without drawing too much attention. Just keep in mind that the U5 is on the larger side for Wax Pens.
Still, there are things you can do to be as discreet as possible. The Utillian 5 holds around 0.3 grams of concentrates, allowing for quick hits without long waits. You can take a hit in under 10 seconds and turn it off fast to stay low-key.
Though vaping is less smelly than smoking, it still has a scent. The Utillian 5 reduces smell overall compared to regular smoking. Lower temperatures help minimize vapor and odor for secret vaping. On that note, we surveyed a bunch of users to see how similar or different the odors of smoking and vaping are. If you want to check that out, head over to our article.
While the Utillian 5 is discreet, it is not the most discreet Dab pen on the market. The Tronian Gammatron, for example, is known for being more discreet than the Utillian 5 due to its smaller size and even more inconspicuous design.
Overall Experience
Let’s sum up what we’ve learned about the Utillian 5. This Dab Pen is a solid choice for anyone who loves vaping. It’s built tough, works with different heat settings, and has a long-lasting battery. It’s also pretty easy to use, whether you’re new to this or have been vaping for years. The option to use the Utillian 5 water filter is just the icing on the cake at this point.
While it boasts significant battery life and robust build quality, it is slightly larger than the most discreet wax pens on the market. For on-the-go sessions, I occasionally wished for a smaller device. Yet, when it came to sessions at home or in a controlled environment where discretion was less of a concern, the Utillian 5 shined.
Overall, the Utillian 5 stands out as a premier choice for anyone looking to elevate their wax vaping to a higher standard. If you’re curious about how it compares to other dab pens, be sure to check our wax pen rankings for a more straightforward look into the best devices on the market.
