Yocan Magneto Wax Pen – Master of Magnetism

Updated: March 26, 2024

The Yocan Magneto wax pen is a master of magnetism. As its name would suggest the Yocan Magneto features a unique magnetic loading tool and a magnetic mouthpiece for a snappy wax experience. So let’s jump right in and take a look at what attracts us to the Magneto in this Yocan Magneto review.

But first, don’t forget to check out our comprehensive wax pen guide which details all the important factors for finding the best wax pen for your needs!

Yocan Magneto Review

Yocan Magneto Wax Pen

How Yocan Magneto Wax Pen WorksHow it Works

As for instructions for the Yocan Magneto, slide off the mouthpiece to expose the atomizer. Next, remove the magnetic atomizer cap, which also acts as your loading tool.

With most wax pens, you apply your wax directly to the atomizer when loading the device. The Magneto looks to make things a little easier with the aforementioned loading tool.

Instead of loading the wax to the atomizer directly, you load your concentrate on the tip of the loading tool/atomizer cap. That loading tool then snaps onto the top of the atomizer with a magnet, perfectly positioning your wax above the heating element.

Next your snap the mouthpiece back into place and you are just about ready to vaporize. Next, you will want to turn the device on. 5 quick pushes on the power button will turn the device on. Now you simply press and hold the power button while drawing from the mouthpiece.

This device works best when you try to keep the unit vertical, allowing your concentrate to drip directly on the heating element. If you hold it horizontally, chances are your wax will melt and drip onto the sides of the unit missing the atomizer completely.

Temperature Flexibility Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenTemperature Flexibility

The Magneto does not have any type of temperature control or flexibility. The only way you can regulate the temperature of this device is by manually pressing and releasing the power button to keep the temperature around where you want it. You could take a look at the Utillian 5 because of it’s assigned flexibility on certain temperatures.

During our Yocan Magneto review, we’ve found that the device is capable of reaching fairly high temperatures, though the actual temperature is not specified in the manual.

Vapor Quality Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenVapor Quality

We were able to achieve some nice vapor production with the Magneto. The unit is better at handling smaller loads rather than larger loads.

Without temperature control you really can’t fine-tune your vapor experience, you simply have to guess when to release the power button based on the irritation in your throat.

 The one negative about the vapor quality is that there is a slight metallic taste coming from the coils which have yet to subside. It’s not enough to overpower the flavor of your wax but it is not nearly as pure as a unit like the Source Orb 4.

Manufacturing Quality Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenManufacturing Quality

The Magneto appears to be well constructed even when compared against other dab pens in the market. The atomizer lid and mouthpiece both incorporate strong magnets that snap the respective parts into place.

The unique loading style of the Magneto is really what sets it apart from other wax pens. We really like the simplicity and user-friendly nature of this approach, but it does have some caveats.

We found this method is not the most efficient and you will often find a portion of your wax pool in the cup of the loading tool because it is too far away from the heating element to be properly vaporized.

During our Yocan Magneto review, we also found that for the best results your wax has to be on the tip of the loading tool just like a traditional dab tool. If you mash your wax further into the loading tool, deep into the cup, it won’t melt properly onto the heating element.

So while we liked the idea of the easy loading magnetic cap, it definitely needs some improvement in order to be a truly viable alternative to just loading the wax directly onto the coils. If you are new to all this and want something quite affordable, you could take a look at the Yocan Evolve Plus for its price and dual quartz coil for a good session.

Battery Life Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenBattery Life

The Magneto features an 1100 mAh ego-style 510 threaded battery. This battery offers more capacity than most wax pens, which typically include a 650mah ego style 510 threaded battery.

This means you will be able to get more draws from the Magneto than you would other pens like the G-Pen or even Kandypens.

From our tests, we were able to go several days of moderate use before we needed to charge the battery of the Magneto.

Charging the Magneto is really due to the micro USB slot on the side of the battery. We were happy to see a micro-USB input in a wax pen, as most pens still rely on charging the battery separately by twisting the 510 threaded connectors into the charger.

 To be honest, having to remove the battery from the unit just to charge it gets cumbersome after the while, so the simplicity of just plugging in a micro-USB is a welcome addition. We also recommend taking a look at the Puffco Peak or Yocan Evolve Plus XL with its 1400mAh battery for even longer uninterrupted vape time.

Portability Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenPortability

While the Yocan Magneto is technically a pen-style wax vaporizer, in our Yocan Magneto review we’ve found that the larger battery capacity makes the unit closer to the size of a marker.

It is still perfectly portable and will easily slip into a pocket for easy transportation.

The unique loading style of the Magneto makes it a decent pen for on the go, eliminating the need to carry separate tools to load the chamber.

The Magneto also features a silicone carrying container built into the bottom of the battery which allows you to carry your wax together with your unit to make it even more portable. If you’re looking for some portable and looks like a cigar, you could check out the Linx Ember.

Ease Of Use Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenEase of Use

When it comes down to how to use the Yocan Magneto, it’s pretty straightfoward. And with the unique loading method, it is more convenient than most wax pens on the market.

There is only one button and one temperature setting, which cuts down on the learning curve of the unit. You could also check out the Utillian 2 for its low maintenance, and easy to use features, go check that out too!

Overall this unit is very user-friendly and even the most novice of wax users should have no problem enjoying their wax right out of the box.

Overall Experience Of Yocan Magneto Wax PenOverall Experience

After seeing countless wax pens that offer a variation on an age-old design, we were happy to see Yocan offer a breath of fresh air with the Magneto. The way you load the Magneto makes it stand apart from any other wax pen on the market, offering a more hassle-free experience.

Unfortunately, that revolutionary design is also the biggest pitfall with the Magneto. While the loading cap does remove the need to apply wax directly to the coil, it can be inefficient at times, often leaving wax on the loading tool that cannot be properly vaporized.

We really think this unit has great potential and if the loading cap was calibrated to be a bit closer to the internal heated element it may produce better results. For a more straightforward or traditional  wax pen experience, feel free to check out our Dr Dabber vape pen review.

If you’re after water-cooled sessions, the compatible Utillian Glass Bubbler really steps up the performance of this budget vape pen and is definitely worth checking out.

For a more efficient wax experience, we highly recommend checking out the Utillian 2 or even better yet the Utillian 5 (V3) vape pen, both of which use a ceramic plate atomizer to offer an amazingly flavorful wax experience.
