Is the Utillian 5 worth it?

At the end of 2021, Utillian released the long-awaited Utillian 5 (V4) with updated key features that are sure to solidify its position as one of the best dab pens for years to come.

With a powerful 1500mAh battery, a new dab tool mouthpiece, improved heating elements, and much more – There’s a whole lot to love.

In this review, we’ll be going over all of the cool new features to keep you informed, as well as help you to decide whether or not it’s the right dab pen for you.

Utillian 5 Specs

What’s in the Kit?

• 1 x Utillian 5 (V4) Wax Pen
• 1 x Twisted Kanthal Coil
• 1 x Triple Titanium Coil
• 2 x O rings
• 1 x USB-C Charger

How does it work?

On the newest 3rd version of the Utillian 5, you’ll have access to the integrated loading tool on the mouthpiece that completely eliminates the need for a sloppy dab tool.

This is a very welcome upgrade for medicinal users, as all they’ll have to do is scoop the mouthpiece tool and then place it back onto the device.

This way, you won’t have to worry about the sticky resin sticking to your dab tool and any additional cleaning that comes with the old system.

Voltages and Coil Options

The Utillian 5 comes with four pre-set voltage settings: 2.2v, 2.4v, 2.6v, & 2.8v.

As always, the lower settings will be better for flavor profiles, and the hotter temperatures will be better for bigger clouds. These different voltages also work well with the included coil options in the kit.

The triple titanium will be better for the higher heat settings, and will give you access to massive clouds & the dual kanthal will give you better terpene profiles while using lower voltages.

Durable Build Quality

One of the nicest things about this wax pen is the stainless steel exterior that feels great and looks great in the hand.

You’ll be able to choose between a matte black, gunmetal silver, or gold titanium color, and as soon as you hold it in your hand, you know that it is made to last due to premium parts.

Since the heating elements are partially made from black ceramic compared to the cheaper option of quartz, you’ll be able to get a lot more soak from your concentrates as it drops down from the mouthpiece, rather than falling below the heating coils like on cheaper devices. This not only means less wasted wax but more potent clouds as well!

At only 13 x 3 cm, the Utillian 5 wax pen is super portable and will easily be able to fit into any pocket or vape case.

As the design closely resembles a traditional e-cigarette and the vapor is more odor-free than from flower, you’ll be able to get stealthy hits whenever you want in public.

What concentrates can it vape?

The Utillian 5 will be viable with your favorite kinds of concentrates including dabs, shatter, resin, and more.

You won’t be able to use loose flower on the coils, and you’re generally better off with cheaper concentrates since you would be losing a lot of flavor from live resin and live rosin.

Massive Clouds

One of the best things about the updated mouthpiece is that the ceramic dab tool will more slowly drip down onto the coils as opposed to being directly loaded onto the coils and then turned on.

• Not only will this provide better flavor due to the ceramic, but also better THC extraction as your dabs won’t instantly fall beneath the coils like the older version was prone to.

Impressive Battery Life

With a 1500mAh battery, heavy users will be able to get one or two days of heavy use, while the average user won’t have to worry about the battery for a whole week at a time.

With the USB-C port, it will charge within an hour. Overall, the battery life is very solid compared to similar devices on the market like the G Pen Micro+.

How to use the Utillian 5?

To use the Utillian 5, the first thing you’ll have to do is remove the mouthpiece and load the nail with your favorite dab.

From there, follow these simple steps:

1. Turn it on by pressing the power button five times within two seconds
2. Select which voltage setting you’d like by pressing the power button twice
3. Once you’re ready for inhales, just press and hold the power button down for around 10 seconds.
4. The mouthpiece is still equipped with the same splash guard to prevent any hot wax from getting into your mouth, and as we’ve mentioned loading the coils has never been easier.
5. Since each piece is connected and held together with O-rings instead of being threaded, accessing individual parts is super easy and convenient.

One thing to know is that the mouthpiece dab tool is fragile, so be careful to not press it into the coils too hard.

Utillian 5 Tips and Tricks

Above the battery, users will have access to an adjustable airflow ring that will let you choose between four airflow ports to open or close.

With one airflow ring, there will be a lot of draw resistance, which users switching from vaping to smoking may appreciate. On the other hand, having all four airflow ports open will allow for the biggest clouds while on the highest temperatures.

• The customization is all up to you, and you’ll be able to have a lot of fun finding the best settings for your unique preferences.

You can choose how many of the four air ports you want open

Utillian 5 Bubbler

One of the ways to instantly improve the vapor quality on your Utillian 5 (V4) is with the use of a water pipe or bubbler. With the Utillian 5 Glass Bubbler, all you’ll need to do is then fit the water pipe adapter over the mouthpiece and fill it with water.

The auto water leveling will make sure no water will drip into your device. The water will give you an extra layer of cooling and fun in an accessory that takes seconds to put together. With water cooling, you won’t have to worry about the hot air at higher temperatures, and you’ll be able to get massive clouds that are easier on the lungs.

How to clean the Utillian 5?

Because the ceramic mouthpiece dab tool will slowly drip your concentrate onto the coils, there will be much less risk of your concentrate getting burnt or falling beneath the coils.

As the coils are very large, it also helps your wax pen’s maintenance as all you’ll have to do is give them an isopropyl alcohol soak followed by a hot water rinse. Once it’s dry, you’ll be able to pop it back into the pen and continue your sessions. For quick maintenance, you can also use Vape Cleaning Sticks.

For the mouthpiece, Vape Cleaning Wipes will help you get rid of any resin buildups on the dab tool, and the alcohol will also get rid of any bacteria on the upper mouthpiece.

• Easy dab tool mouthpiece design
• Airflow dial and four voltages
