\n

The Utillian\u00a0420 was released in the middle of 2018 and quickly gained attention as one of the best budget portable\u00a0vaporizers on the market due to the inclusion of features like a glass mouthpiece and digital display. Which, before the Utillian 420, were features reserved for more premium units. The Utillian 421<\/a> brings more to the table, now offering 6 pre-set temperature settings, along with an improved digital display and airflow control. So let’s dive right into this Utillian 420 vs Utillian 421 showdown and determine which Utillian is right for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vapor Quality<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In terms of specs between the Utillian 421 vs Utillian 420, these units look almost identical. The vapor path, chamber size, and mouthpiece are all the same size, the only noticeable difference is the airflow control.<\/p>\n

Though both sub-100-dollar units surprised us with their vapor quality, the 421 kicks it up a notch with customizable air flow, allowing you to change the consistency of your hits to your preferred liking similar to the Zeus Arc GTS Hub<\/a> with its gold chamber.<\/p>\n

The undisputed winner in this category is the 421.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Quality<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Both units have an anodized aluminum finish and feel sturdy in your hand. The 421\u2019s finish is slightly cleaner, just a small upgrade from the older shell. But ultimately, they have the same specs whereas the rubberized finish on Utillian 723<\/a> vaporizer is also something to behold.<\/p>\n

The quality of both is fantastic, and you can really tell that time and effort have been put into the meticulously machined parts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Ease of Use<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When comparing the Utillian 420 vs Utillian 421, both are very simple to use. However, the 421\u2019s display shows set and current temperature, as well as battery life. The 420 shows only the current temperature, and battery life when you turn it off. This simple change is huge for new users, as important information is easy to absorb. There’s also the Utillian 723<\/a> made for easy single-hand usage, by the tap of one easy button controlling method.<\/p>\n

Because of these small changes, we give this category to the 421.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Portability<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Utillian has put time and thought into the size of their units. All of them are extremely portable. Though the 421 is slightly taller, both of these units are equally portable, although I\u2019d give the slight edge to the 421 because of the extra battery life. Then there is the LITL 1<\/a> (the name says it all) with an amazing portable size, also included with an amazing ceramic conduction heating-chamber.<\/p>\n

I usually can get 4-6 sessions out of the 420, and 6-8 out of the 421. The 421 has the advantage here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Battery Life<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Utillian 421 has a small advantage here, as stated above. If you are THAT person who needs extreme battery life, then you can also have a look at the Arizer Solo 2.<\/a><\/p>\n

Utillian made a slight improvement that comes with a noticeable difference. The winner here is the 421.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Discreetness<\/h3>\n

<\/span>
\nBoth units have mouthpieces akin to an e-cig mouthpiece that allows you to carry it in your hand with some added stealth. The Flowermate Slick<\/a> would also be a perfect fit as you can easily put it in your hand ike a candy bar.<\/p>\n

The first iteration of the LED screen is slightly brighter, which isn\u2019t a huge deal but gives a slight advantage to the 421.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

\"Utillian<\/p>\n

Temperature Flexibility<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When comparing the temperature flexibility between Utillian 421 vs Utillian 420, the 420 has 4 temperature settings, while the 421 has 6 temperature settings that cover a wide spread of temperatures.<\/p>\n

The Utillian 421 offers a wider range, from 180 – 230, increasing by 10 degree increments. You could also check out the Mighty Plus Vaporizer<\/a> which specializes in having precise temperature control above everything else.<\/p>\n

While the 420’s range is from 190 – 220 increasing in 10-degree increments. With more flexibility, we give this one to the Utillian 421.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\"Utillian<\/p>\n

SHOWDOWN<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I think the unquestioned winner in this Utillian 420 vs Utillian 421 showdown is the 421. For an extra couple of bucks, you get a better digital display and airflow control, which greatly enhances the experience, especially for new users. But, to be honest, both are fantastic small devices that would make an excellent traveling unit.<\/p>\n
