Saionara Atomizer Review – Saionara, Baby!

Updated: October 6, 2023

The Saionara atomizer or sometimes referred to as the Sai atomizer is designed to turn your box mod into a powerful cannabis extracts device complete with adjustable airflow. Just to clarify this is an add-on for a box-mod rather than an entire device in itself and that begs the question; can it compete with a proper rig?

Review: Saionara Atomizer

Saionara Review

Saionara atomizers

How it Works

The atomizer will thread right onto any existing battery which is 510 compatible. Which battery/box mod you choose will certainly affect your results and I wouldn’t toss this onto any power source that doesn’t at least have variable wattage control.

You load your material by splitting the atomizer into two pieces then loading your material directly to the exposed coil and attaching the top mouthpiece. The rest is done through whichever box mod you have.

There are multiple coil options to choose from (sold separately) and airflow adjustments so for the experienced user there are plenty of modification possibilities!

Temperature flexibility all comes down to which power source you use and which coil is in use. I certainly wouldn’t use anything which doesn’t offer variable wattage/temperature settings, and the difference between a cheap versus a quality mod makes a huge difference!

Your results will vary depending on the heat that the material is warmed by so, of course, choosing something that is compatible is essential. As a frame of reference, the kanthal cannabis extracts coil operates best between 14-28 watts.

It is highly recommended to begin at a lower wattage than you’d think to ensure you don’t burn any of your material – possibly ruining the flavor of your next few sessions. For more temperature flexibility check out the Utillian 5 (V3) which has 4 pre-set temperature settings.

Vapor Quality

The Saionara atomizer paired with a proper power source is nothing short of phenomenal! With the addition of the Zeus Iceborn, this is a serious heavy hitter, however without it even, it works fantastically!

Nice, consistent powerful hits that expel plenty of vapor for the cloud chasers out there. This is the closest to a dedicated rig I could even think of, the Saionara vape hits really hard!

If your box mod supports temperature control via calculating impedance/resistance, that’s a nice added bonus to really dial in your temperature. Getting the right hit for your material certainly has some factors and getting there may take some experimenting. For a much more smoother flavorful vapor, you might like the Linx Blaze especially because of its top-notch flavor preservation.

Lower temperatures give you smoother and more flavorful hits compared to a higher heat setting which will allow you to toss out massive clouds of vapor. Your cannabis extracts material gets used within a couple draws so frequent reloading is certainly needed, although the type of hit depends on the coil used.

Manufacturing Quality

It’s all made by a small operation, completely machined and fabricated from scratch. The threads are nice, the fitment of all the parts is great, and it feels very sturdy!

The coils are super resilient, in fact, I am still using the same kanthal coil I originally got with my Saionara atomizer, I just clean it every couple of months and it seems to work like a charm. This is a big advantage over other cannabis extracts devices that see the coils wear out rather quickly.

And of course, if your coil ever does die swapping it out for a new one is simple, plus there are different atomizer setups to choose from like dual quartz or even a donut option. For many more variant coil options,  the Source Orb 4 Premium Kit is also something to consider.

Portability

Portability depends entirely on the box mod it’s attached to, so it’ll always be a portable and easy option! Interchangeability with different 510 threaded devices is a very beneficial feature so if yours runs out of power, you can thread it onto a friends unit and still get to where you want to be!

Swapping coils while on the go isn’t entirely difficult either and can be done in a pinch. Only complain here would be the possibility of pocket lint or grime entering the mouthpiece, although that’s already something most vaporizers deal with. Looking for a vape with a storage portion for carrying cannabis extracts? Then definitely look at the Yocan Evolve Plus that features a silicone cannabis extracts container which is best if you want maximum portability.

Ease of Use

There is a bit of a learning curve with this atomizer. Finding the perfect temperature/wattage to run at for your given material and adjusting your airflow the way you like it are all factors to take into consideration when trying to finding the sweet spot.

With that being said, a complete newbie could pick it up and take a few draws easily if the power setting is already dialed in.

There’s not much to do in terms of maintenance which a quick iso soak or cotton swab soaked in 99% alcohol will take care of with ease. It all stays clean rather well and there are no other major wear-and-tear parts. Better ease of use is offered by Linx Hypnos Zero especially because it comes with a carrying kit.

Discreetness

The Saionara vape is as discreet as the battery it’s connected to – meaning it looks exactly like any other vape on the market.

Keep in mind scent and cloud production if you wanted to be entirely discreet, however, beyond that there will be zero worries at all! For those that prefer maximum discretion, the Linx Ares Kit is another good option to look into, especially because of its magnetic caps.

Overall the Saionara atomizer is one of the best, easy to use yet customizable cannabis extracts concentrate solutions on the market today! No need to buy complicated rigs, power sources you don’t need and iffy atomizers made by questionable materials. This one just threads on, takes your cannabis extracts and delivers stellar performance at a very healthy price-point.

Definitely a solid buy if you’re already invested with a solid e-juice vape and want to add great concentrate hits to that. For both the experienced and beginner user, this is really outstanding and if you can’t tell, I couldn’t tell you how amazing it is, especially for the price point! If you are looking to pick one up you can grab one from our shop.

If you are just looking for a simple pen setup and do not have a box mod than we suggest checking out the Zeus Thunder 2.

And those still interested in a portable e-rig experience be sure to check out the Focusvape Tourist.
