Utillian 722 vs Arizer Air 2 – 2 Air or Not 2 Air?

Arizer is well known for making units with top shelf vapor quality. There are a handful of companies that compete with Storz & Bickel for the best of the best, and Arizer is certainly one of them.

The Air 2’s hybrid heating system delivers great quality vapor, both in smoothness and taste. The glass stem system that Arizer favors certainly cools your vapor before it reaches your lips.

As with most of the Arizer devices, the draw resistance leaves something to be desired. I find I like the wide-open draw of the Utillian 722 much better, and the new and improved wider mouthpiece helps that even more. You can get along, deep draw from the Utillian 722 with very little draw resistance, which personally, I like more.

The one place I find Arizer hits a small speedbump is in the quantity of vapor. They have slightly above average vapor density but can’t really output seriously dense clouds of vapor.

This is where the Utillian 722 shines. The convection heating style of the 722 outputs great tasting vapor without sacrificing vapor density. You can get a serious amount of vapor out of the 722. Just like the 721, the flavor profile of your cannabinoids and terpenes will shine through, and the differences between strains are noticeable in each draw.

Both units emit great vapor, and the flavor of each is nothing to scoff at, but the convection flavor on the 722 gives it the slight edge here.

Another tough category. The Air 2, with its digital screen and complete temperature control, is certainly easy to use, but the 722 and it’s one-button design make it easier to use right out of the box.

Pressing and holding the minus button and the power button will turn the Air 2 on, and then changing temperatures is just in pressing the plus and minus buttons on the device.

With the 722, all you need to remember is how many times to press the button. 5 taps will turn it on, 3 will change temperature, and a press and hold will engage boost mode.

Both are easy to load – simply remove the glass stem from the Air 2, load your grind herbs in, and put it right back into the device. The 722 and it’s magnetically held mouthpiece is a synch as well, as you can easily remove it, pack your herbs in, and place it back on the top of the unit.

The only dividing line is how careful you must be with the devices. As mentioned above, the Air 2 with its glass stems must be treated carefully, especially after a session. I’ve personally broken more than one stem when I’m not too careful. The Utillian 722 is built of sturdier stuff, able to withstand most drops.

I will take the opportunity to once again warn against performing any sort of drop test at home, but this category goes to the Utillian 722.

While both units are similar in size, there is one major difference between the two, and that is the glass stem. An easily breakable component means bringing this device around with you will almost certainly require a vaporizer case. The Utillian 722 and its mouthpiece that swivels inward take up more space, but with a more compact form factor.

For this reason, we give this one to the 722.

The Utillian 722 features a 2300mah internal battery that will yield roughly 60 minutes of use – on average, the same as most vaporizers.

The Air 2 has a removable 18650 battery that will last roughly 90 minutes of continuous use, and the added ability to swap the batteries and keep your vaporizer running all day long gives this category solidly to the Arizer Air 2.
