Utillian 420 is Simple - How It Works

To start as with any portable vaporizer you should fully charge your device and also run it through on the highest heat setting with no material in it just to give it a quick clean. To load the Utillian 420 vaporizer you unscrew the glass mouthpiece which will allow you access to the oven heating chamber. You can use a grinder to grind up some loose leaf material and place it into the chamber. The best amount to put into the Utillian 420 is enough to make it still a bit loose and not to tight - a medium packing works best.

How's The Vapor Quality of the Utillian 420

​To be honest the low price of this vaporizer would make you think that the vapor production would be not all that impressive. If you also thought this than you would also be incorrect. The Utillian 420 is one of the best vapor flavor producing vaporizers under $100 that we have tested.

The Utillian 420 impressed with its ability to extract and deliver strong flavor on the lowest 3 temperatures. The lower temperatures are perfect for extracting flavor while ensuring that none of your material combusts.The combination of these low temperatures and the glass mouthpiece makes for an enjoyable smooth vapor.

Most of the vaporizers that we have reviewed in the past in the vaporizers under $100 category get a little bit harsh and hard to hit on the high temperatures. The Utillian 420 was actually pretty goo and not delivering vapor to hot. The glass mouthpiece might be making a bigger difference in comparison to the ceramic or steel mouthpieces that some devices use.

Affordable Vaporizer + Strong Build Quality

The Utillian 420 is priced under $100 and yet it still has been built to the same standards as some of the industries most expensive devices. The 420 is housed in a anodized aluminum casing which makes it quite durable. The mouthpiece as we have touched on is glass which is perhaps that best material that you would want to have as a mouthpiece. Before holding the Utillian a feeling the weight and knowing that it was housed in aluminum I thought it might be some sort of plastic casing. The build quality of this unit is above average for vaporizers in general, and well above average for similarly priced vaporizers.

Utillian managed to keep the overall cost and purchase price of this model very low while including a screen that helps you keep track of battery life and visually see the current temperature. An LED screen in a vaporizer that costs just $89 is a nice touch.

Battery Life + Portability

Dry herb vaporizers have a disadvantage when compared to concentrate vaporizers in terms of battery life and portability. A dry herb vaporizer needs the oven to heat up and stay hot for a longer period of time. Typically for cheap dry herb vaporizers this means that you will not get many sessions and the longer your session the fewer you will get. Some cheap vaporizer will only allow you to get around 2 or 3 sessions or 20 to 40 minutes of vaping time. The Utillian 420 was able to easily deliver an hour of actual vaping time which at 6 minutes a session would give you 10 sessions.

For many users this amount of time will be enough to get you through a day and overnight you will have it charge for the day that follows. For some vape users one hour may not be enough. The Utillian uses a micro USB chord which gives you more options than a standard wall plug so that you can find more opportunities throughout your day to give it a recharge if need be.

Portable vaporizers continue to become a more popular daily product for people all over the world. Portable vaporizers are beginning to become cheaper while the quality of the lower priced devices improves. This can be seen here with the FEZ vaporizer which is designed for dry herbs. It used to be only the portable vaporizers that costed well over $200 that would perform well and be worth buying. Fortunately for consumers, the vape industry has enormous competition and as such the prices have become very competitive. Continue reading to learn more about the FEZ vaporizer for dry herbs in our review.

None the less the FEZ vaporizer boosts a whopping 2600 mVh (4000 mVa) lithium ion battery that can get you up to 2000 draws from just one charge. The portability and power that the FEZ delivers makes this one of the best vaporizers for lengthy travels.

G Pen Elite - Visit Official Site Here

If you are looking for a portable dry herb vaporizer that is super easy to use, with not many parts that can get broken or go wrong, the G Pen Elite vaporizer falls into this category. The G Pen Elite really only has 2 parts that you need to worry about, the device base and the mouthpiece. The device base or main part has a temperature and battery display screen that is actually in a pretty practical location, right by the base of the unit. Also on the main part of the vaporizer is a USB connection that you can use to charge the device, and lastly a power button.

The mouthpiece is the second part of the vaporizer which doubles as an oven lid and air path. The G Pen Elite has a very comfortable mouthpiece that feels a bit nicer than other vape designs. Getting the mouthpiece of can be a bit tricky for the first few times you use the device, but really you just have to get used to it - to take off the mouthpiece you simply push it forward to create a bit of a crease underneath then you can use your fingernails to tug it off.

Using the G Pen Elite Vaporizer

To use your G Pen Elite you will need to first make sure it is charged and you will need to put some ground up herbs in the oven. A good amount of herb to put in your oven is about .25g maybe .35 if you want to go on the heavier side. This amount of herb will give it some breathable room to vape more consistently. Now that you have the oven packed and the device is charged you can proceed to clicking the power button found on the face of the device 5 times to turn it on. When you press the power button 5 times the device will enter into stand by mode. If you would like to choose the temperature before it starts heating up you can use the other two buttons located on the side of the vaporizer. To start heating up the G Pen Elite you press and hold the power button for a second or two. The device will heat up pretty quickly - in about 30 seconds, than you can begin to draw from it. The first hit will help to circulate the air through your herbs, in between your draws you should wait 10 to 15 seconds to allow the oven to get hot hot again, since as you pull air through it you are cooling it down kinda like a temperature tug of war.

The draw resistance on the G Pen Elite is not to bad, you don't have to inhale to hard compared to some vapes. If you notice the draw resistance getting a bit tougher with use than it means you need to clean out the mouthpiece as the air filter can get a bit clogged. Each session with the G Pen Elite with a descent size packing will get you about 10 draws maybe a few more on lower temperatures.

Portability and Battery of the G Pen Elite

The G Pen Elite is a compact portable vaporizer, when you first look at the device with nothing to compare its size to you would think that it is quite a bit larger than what it is in real life. The G Pen Elite kinda looks like a smaller shaver/groomer and also how you charge it through the bottom resembles a shaver as well. The size of the G Pen Elite is actually pretty close to that of the PAX 3 and overall surface space seems to be about equal. The battery life will get you about 1 hour of usage time and takes couple hours to charge.

Where to Get the G Pen Elite Vaporizer

Overall the build quality and performance of the G Pen Elite is above average and really quite impressive for the cost of the unit. Last checked the price to get a G Pen Elite was under $150 which makes this one of the best portable dry herb vaporizers for its price.

Ghost MV1 Video Review

Build Quality

The overall build quality of the Ghost MV1 is top notch. Ghost Herbal Concepts Ltd has made it there goal to bring to market the very best product. The MV1 is made with mostly custom made parts and is designed very intuitively. The shape of the device and the way it is meant to be held is for ergonomic purposes. The entire device can be taken apart which is key for two reasons. The first being that you can easily clean and maintain the unit. The second benefit to this is in the case that a component stops working - instead of replacing a whole unit it will be easy to get a replacement part.

The MV1 is built to be tough and stylish, it is made with a lightweight alloy chassis with a tactile outer casing. The exterior can be ordered in a few different color options and also with different finishes.

Vapor Quality

We have not had the chance to test the device out ourselves yet, but we have seen it in action as you will find in the video a bit lower on this page. Have a watch yourself - the video is by Bud the VapeCritic and it seems to rip pretty good. You can set the device on a higher temperature if you want to take a quick powerful hit or you can put it on a lower temperature to savor more taste.

Versatility

The Ghost MV1 is a 3 in 1 vaporizer that is designed to work with all forms of cannabis. If you are looking for a device that will work for both dry herbs and various concentrates this is perhaps one of the best options.

Portability

The MV1 vaporizer packs a pretty serious punch. The battery pack is not your typical off the shelf part - it has been engineered specifically for this device. The battery pack has embedded technology on a computer chip that helps to manage the connection and current between itself and the rest of the vaporizer. The battery capabilities are said to out perform any other portable vaporizer  the market.

Ghost MV1 App

The Ghost Vaporizer App looks like it is going to be an important feature for anyone who ends up purchasing the unit. The app will give you more control over the device and has some features that make it safer than pretty much any other vaporizer that exists. With the app you are able to lock the unit - this creates a 'gun in the safe' environment and keeps the device out of harms way to under age people. The App also has features that allow you to locate it if you misplace it, similar to the lose you iPhone feature.

The obvious features that the Ghost Vaporizer App will include are more precise temperature controls, product updates, session information, and sharing features where you can get compensated for your shared experiences with the device.

Ghost MV1 Accessories

The Ghost MV1 vaporizer will definitely have a growing list of accessories that can be purchased to work along side the device. Currently available is a cleaning kit, a crucible kit, packs of glass stems, a fast charger, and a battery pack. These are all basic extra parts and accessories and we suspect that there will be a few other to come along shortly. The Ghost mouthpiece is easily removable so there will likely either be a Ghost Wip that takes the place of the glass mouthpiece or a Ghost wip that attaches on to the existing glass mouthpiece to connect it to a water piece.

Ghost MV1 Vaporizer Coupon Code

We are currently unaware of any coupon codes that will be available for the Ghost MV1 vaporizer. When any coupon codes become available that we know of we will update this section asap. Many times while a company is launching a new product they will include one of the accessories as a coupon offer. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe the Ghost will come with a cool first ## customers coupon offer. The Ghost seems like it has some heat behind it so even without an initial coupon code you may want to place an order as soon as the store opens as there may be a wait time for this product.

Where To Buy the Ghost MV1 Vaporizer

The Ghost MV1 vaporizer is not yet available to purchase, but the Ghost MV1 will cost $295 US. You can head over to GhostVapes and sign up to their mailing list to be notified of any news and updates related to the launch of the Ghost MV1. You can also follow GhostVapes on facebook here. The information made available online about this new device was originally posted by VapeCritic - Bud. Bud has been reviewing portable vaporizers online for quite a while, his site was started back in December of 2011 and since this time many people who are looking for the right vaporizer to buy have turned to him for advice. His input in the new Ghost MV1 should be a sign that this vape will be a big hit. Recently some new photo's were posted showing a less shiny version 'satin gray' of the Ghost MV1 vaporizer. Personally I think the less shiny version looks a lot better and looks more durable. Something about the shiny versions seems plastic and cheap - but this could just be in pictures and could be the exact opposite in person, this goes on personal preference and is like getting a flat paint job on your car or a shiny one.
