Yocan Falcon Review – Falcon 9 to the moon

How it Works

6-in-1? Surely it’s complex. Well, it’s not really all that difficult though you do have a lot of ways to play with it.

1. Nectar collector mode. With the ‘XTAL’ tip you can use it as a regular honey straw.
2. Wax pen mode – With the QTC (quartz triple-coil) atomizer you can use it as a regular coil-baed wax pen.
3. Dry herb mode – with the pancake coil you can use it as a standard conduction dry herb vaporizer.

The other three ways to use it are just with the glass attachment added on top.

So yeah, we’ve been bamboozled. It’s actually a 3-in-1 with the ability to add a glass attachment on top of each of the modes. A bit feisty on the marketing, eh?

Less is more with this device and a rice-grain size amount of wax does just the trick. Anything more will make a bit of a soupy mess of wax and impact both flavor and performance.

Temperature Flexibility

Three preset temperature/voltage settings are on the device – 3.2v, 3.7v, and 4.2v. This is pretty standard on budget wax pen vapes, but we’re not even sure which temperatures these correspond to for dry herb.

Therein, the temperature flexibility of the Yocan Falcon is pretty limited and in our opinion sub-adequate for dry herb considering we don’t know the temperature settings the pancake coil operates at for dry herb mode.

Vapor Quality

For the nectar collector and wax pen vape mode it works excellent! The hits are smooth, tasty, or gigantic depending on how you set it up. While the temperature control is limited, you’ll be able to get solid hits with ease.

However, the dry herb mode is just alright and leaves a bit to be desired. The hits are definitely sufficient and taste good at first and the internal vapor-path allows for good cooling, though cleaning is a must though as it can get clogged very quickly and impact performance significantly.

In the end it does just fine, though we’re not breaking any boundaries when it comes to dry herb vape performance.

Manufacturing Quality

Yocan manages to provide a pretty strong product for the price paid. The Falcon is aptly named once you attach the bottom storage container. Evidently, this allows you to store a good amount of wax or a small amount of herb within for easy storage.

More importantly, the coils and atomizers used are of good quality and perform as well as you’d expect. Yocan has been at it for a while now and we trust their coils to last a decent amount of time before needing to be replaced.

The included dab tool is actually our favorite bit and one of the best tools we’ve seen included on a wax vape.

Battery Life

USB-C with a 1000mAh capacity is what you get on the Falcon. As a wax pen vaporizer that’s perfect, however a bit underwhelming for a dry herb vaporizer.

You’ll net around 3-4 sessions in dry herb mode and ~20-30 in wax pen mode. That’s pretty good considering the size of the unit, but will definitely be the limiting factor when out and about for extended periods of time.

Thankfully it comes with USB-C and charges in less than an hour. Finally, begone Micro USB!

Ease of Use

Swapping all the different coils, mouthpieces, and changing temperatures are very easy. Yocan makes a foolproof product oftentimes and the Falcon represents that well.

However, you’ll definitely want to stay on top of cleaning because the internal airway is bound to get clogged if you’re negligent of it and it won’t hit nearly as well.

Isopropyl alcohol and the two included cleaning brushes will make quick work of that build-up so make sure to service it often!

Discreetness

In its fully-assembled ‘rocket mode’ it’s not exactly discreet by any means. After all, it literally looks like a rocket turned into a vaporizer with the base and glass mouthpiece attached.

However, in the stripped-down tiny mode, it is as small and portable as ever. You can slip it into your pocket with ease and it’ll take up a minimal amount of space.
