Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam Review

Should you buy the Utillian 5 or G Pen Roam?

Wax pens AKA dab pens have grown in popularity in recent years as veterans begin to look for bigger clouds than a dry herb vape can provide. They focus on concentrate products, and will work on any shape or form of it. In this Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam review, we’ll be going into detail about each vape to help you make the right choice.

The Utillian 5 vape has become one of the top-selling wax pens since its release. From the moment that you hold it up, there is a clear sense that these vaporizers are high-quality manufacturing ensured to last.  In general, Utillian is a brand that has become a stable of milky hits and if you’re in the market for a top-five pen, The Utillian 5 itself is terrifically made and a premium product. It’s sleek, feels nice, is well machined and rugged.

On the other hand, Grenco offers unique Chinese engineering into the world of cannabis vaporizing. Although they received some critique on their earlier devices, they have made strides and leaps in recent innovative vapes like the G Pen Connect and G Pen Nova. The new G Pen Roam keeps up their excellent track record with a unique twist on the wax vaporizer / electronic rig category. Featuring such features as a built-in spill/leakproof bubbler, quartz atomizer, and nu-modern sleek design, there is a lot to love about this pen.

Utillian 5 vs GPen Roam Battery comparison

In the GPen, you’ll get a 1300mAh battery which can last you up to 10 sessions on a single charge. As a plus to that, with the included Micro USB charger, the charge time is only 30 minutes and features pass-through usage capabilities. The Utillian 5’s battery is 1050mAh will last vapers 45 minutes of continual use. It may not be the biggest unit by far, but for an average user, this will mean a few days of use time before needing a recharge. One thing that differentiates it from the G Pen is the lack of a battery indicator. This means that you won’t have any idea what the battery’s health is looking like until it dies or you charge frequently. If you’re on the go and the vape dies without access to a charger, this can be annoying.

Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam Portability

Both vapes are certainly not the sleekest in the portable vaporizers category, but that is what makes for a good comparison between them. What the Utillian lacks in portability to something like a Litl One Vape, it makes up for with massive hits and clouds. Its slim design is enough to slide into most pockets and its design is modern enough to not raise attention in public. By this, we mean that its design resembles a traditional nicotine vaporizer, which people are very used to by now. This means you’ll be able to fly under the radar in situations you otherwise would need to be more stealthy in while having a session. If discreetness is a factor to you, we recommend the Utillian 5.

The G Pen roam is quite a large vape in the wax pens market, and is more along the lines of an E-Rig in terms of size. In respect to this review’s comparison, however, the built-in water bubbler is more than enough to make up for this flaw. It is still able to be fit into larger jean pockets, purses, or bags, and the vapor quality is flawless as we will discuss later in the review. The matte black color scheme and blue LED screen is very modern and will not get you any unwanted attention. If you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of pocketability for improved ease of use and vapor quality than competitors, it will be a justified purchase.

Utillian 5 and G Pen Roam ease of use comparison

Even for beginners, the Utillian 5 wax pen is very easy to figure out and master. To power it up, simply press the power button five times (standard for wax pens). Once it is on, two clicks will let you toggle through the four pre-set temperature settings. One of the biggest upgrades in the wax pen market that the Utillian 5 brings is its excellent chamber. The coils are large and not buried, and the lid works like a charge to quickly load in any type of concentrate that you’d like and begin hitting immediately – No hassle here. If you want to add some smoothness to your hits to compete with the Roam, we can recommend a Utillian 5 Glass Bubbler. This will add some added coolness to your hits.

The G-Pen is very comparable for its ease of use with its two heating modes. Depending on how you like your sessions, they can both offer great results with as little as a rice-grain-sized concentrate dab. With automatic mode, the auto shut-off feature will power the device for thirty seconds at a pre-set temperature before powering down. For small sessions or with a bigger dab between friends, this is a great and easy option. With the manual mode, the heat will only activate when you are holding the power button down. This is more battery efficient and better for solo sessions when you want full control of a session.  On the other hand, with max mode, the temperature will be cranked to an astonishing (800°F/425°C) for those monster clouds and powerful dab rig-like hits. Prepare for clouds, and hefty ones at that – That’s what we can say.

Cleaning Tips

Cleaning the G Pen Roam and Utillian 5 isn’t too difficult, though it’s important to stay on top of maintenance. The atomizer can be removed easily and you should take a swab dipped in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol to tidy it up. The bubbler should be filled with some iso for around 15 minutes, shake gently to help clean it of any residue. Ensure you keep on top of maintenance and clean it after a day of heavy use or a few sessions to keep the taste and performance as its best.

Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam Vapor Quality

As far as vapor quality goes, the Utillian 5 competes with the best of them.  While the highest settings might not be for everyone, veterans will still appreciate the flavor and clouds. The atomizer does have different options for itself as well. The black ceramic and titanium coils are best for sessions with big clouds in mind. The other atomizer is made from black ceramic and canthal and is perfect for smaller hits at low temperatures.

In terms of vapor quality, with quartz and borosilicate glass vapor pathways, the engineers at Grenco know what their devices are capable of. These are two manufacturing choices that vaping connoisseurs will be able to appreciate. For beginners, just know that hits will always be satisfying! For these reasons, we give the nod to the G Pen in this category for its amazingly consistent with ensured quality due to its built-in bubbler. Airflow will always be great and it’s great for parties as beginners will appreciate the ease of use and built-in bubbler.

Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam Heating systems

The G Pen brand of vapes has become synonymous with amazing heating capabilities. The G Pen Roam will have haptic feedback after a 15 seconds heat-up time. With a larger bowl than most other wax pens, its dabbing capabilities are up there with an E-Rig with the clouds you’ll get. With premium manufacturing like quartz atomizer that some say offers better hits than ceramic, hits will be surprisingly smooth. In combination with Infusing Terpenes Into Your Vape, you’ll be able to get fantastic flavor profiles out of your wax of choice. The previously mentioned Utillian 5’s four pre-set temperature settings range between 2.2v and 2.8v. In the 2.2v setting, or simply ‘low temp’ for simplicity’s sake, the draws will be light but you’ll have more flavor. As is the trend with most cannabis vaporizers, at the max temperature you’ll get more smoke and less flavor. As it has quite a high temperature though, vapers might find that the wax isn’t fully utilized, especially on smaller concentrate doses. That’s why based on our findings, it is best to use the middle settings at 2.4v and 2.6v for good clouds that won’t be rough on the lungs.

Utillian 5 vs G Pen Roam Conclusion: Which to buy?

The decision between these two best wax pens for sale really comes down to user preference. They are both bigger on the portability scale, but make up for it with great vapor quality and ease of use. As we commented in our video, as far as a daily vaporizer choice, the Utillian 5 just edges out the G Pen for the general public as it is more applicable for day-to-day life on the go. But If you are more of a vaper that prefers larger sessions while staying at home, and portability is not a factor, the G-Pen will be the vape for you.

Both vaporizers hit well with awesome flavor delivery but the unique additions will make them a better pick for certain individuals. The Utillian’s black ceramic rods make for a more porous surface that allows for better soaking in the wick rather than getting burnt. This will be better for using as much of the wax as it can! The battery is also impressive, but the lack of interface leaves some questions in the air, as you don’t want to run out of battery on the go. In short, you receive a great kit for the price you pay and everything is relatively good quality.

The G Pen Roam offers phenomenal dabs with amazing temperature and heating options for vaping connoisseurs that like to play around with their sessions. There is more than enough power to compete with a full-blown e-rig, and the user interface is welcoming to all levels of cannabis vaping.
