The Utillian 620 is an ultra portable, helix convection vaporizer with precise temperature control and a glass vapor path. The Arizer Go also has precise temperature control, a glass mouthpiece, and is pretty damn portable itself. These two tiny giants go up against each other in a head to head battle to determine which one you should take home, read on to learn more!
Utillian 620 vs ArGo Vaporizer
Vapor Quality
The Arizer Go features the famous glass mouthpieces of the Arizer line, resulting in great flavor. It tends to preserve flavor even better than any of the other Arizer products, but that comes at a small cost. It usually takes about 15 minutes to fully extract your bowl, whereas the Solo 2 and the Arizer Air 2 usually take about 5-10 minutes. I also can’t seem to rip absolutely massive clouds like you can get on the Solo 2.
The Utillian 620 features helix convection and a borosilicate glass mouthpiece that, when combined, provides some seriously tasty vapor. The helix convection elongates the air path and gives a very even cook of your herbs – the heat transfer is better, the flavor is better, and the cloud production is off the charts.
Both devices are solid in the vapor quality category, but the helix convection edges out the ArGo. This one goes to the Utillian 620.
If you’re looking for the best of the best vapor quality, it wouldn’t hurt to check out the ZEUS Arc S Hub and its gold vapor path.
Manufacturing Quality
The Utillian 620, like its brothers, features the well built, sturdy anodized aluminum shell. The construction is solid all around – it has a built in stir tool and a digital display.
The crowning glory of the 620 is the removable helix, which allows you to clean the air and vapor paths easily. It takes about 40 seconds to heat up and just looks sexy.
The ArGo is also built well, just like the rest of the Arizer line, and their reputation for building quality vaporizers goes far beyond this one device. It also features a bright digital display.
The mouthpiece shield is a great feature, but I’m not sure about the longevity of it. Moving parts in a vaporizer are almost always the first part to break.
I haven’t personally had the ArGo for very long, so I don’t actually know if it holds up over time. This is probably the only reason we will give the slight edge to the 620 vaporizer. Drop it down in the comments below if you have and know if it does one way or the other!
I would highly recommend checking out some of the other devices from both families – the Arizer Solo 2and the Utillian 421 come to mind.
Battery Life
The ArGo features a great battery that will last you roughly an hour and twenty minutes to an hour and a half. It’s the exact same battery as the Air 2. As stated before, however, a session does take generally longer with the ArGo to fully extract your bowl – around 15 minutes.
The Utillian 620 features a 2300mah battery that will last you around 60 minutes. The helix convection is efficient at extraction and a session generally takes around 5-10 minutes for full extraction.
Both of these devices have good things going for them, but the removable battery of the ArGo takes this round.
Portability
The ArGo is by far the most portable Arizer device. The mouthpiece shield does a great job of preventing the one portability issue with Arizer devices – the glass mouthpiece. But it sticks up only a little bit and shouldn’t be a problem.
The Utillian 620 also features a glass mouthpiece that sticks out a comparable amount. It fits in a hand, pocket, or bag easily.
With both of these devices, I would say as long as your not playing catch with these devices in a park, you should be alright. They both have a solid amount of battery life and are pretty damn portable.
The ArGo however does have removable batteries, so if you keep a spare battery or two on hand it can last you all night long.
They’re both pretty portable but the ArGo just slightly edges out the 620 here.
Ease of Use
The ArGo is extremely straightforward. Press and hold the M and plus buttons together for 5 seconds to turn the device on, adjust the temperature with the plus and minus buttons, and it will begin to heat up. Cleaning is simple as well, you should really only have to care for the glass stems and swab the chamber out every once in a while.
The Utillian 620 is also incredibly simple to use. Press the power button 5 times to turn it on and use the up and down buttons to control the temperature. The magnetic mouthpiece at the top and the magnetic tool at the bottom allow loading to be simple. The ability to remove the helix convection for cleaning is fantastic.
It’s clear both companies gave a lot of thought to how easy these devices are to use. However we do find the Utillian 620 slightly easier to load and unload.
If you’re looking for the perfect starter vaporizer, check out the LITL 1 – one button, one temperature setting, it couldn’t be any easier to use.
Discreetness
The Utillian 620 is wonderfully discreet, as the glass mouthpiece sits low in the device and the whole thing fits in your hand if you need to conceal it from view. With a thumb over the digital display, its all black shell and mouthpiece are incredibly low key.
The ArGo is also discreet, certainly the most discreet of the Arizer line. As stated above, the ArGo can’t rip a huge amount of clouds, which will make your session a lot more low key when out and about.
This one goes to the ArGo due to the hidden mouthpiece feature, which can make the device look morel like a battery pack than a vape.
Temperature Flexibility
The ArGo has full temperature control up to 220 degrees Celsius, and you’re easily able to adjust the temperature to exactly what you would like.
The 620 also features the exact same specs, with full temperature control from 160 to 220 degrees Celsius.
Both devices feature a great range of temperatures perfect for extraction. Keep it low for better flavor and up near 220 for bigger clouds.
This category is a tie.
Overall Experience
Both of these devices are on pretty even footing here. They’re built well, easy to use, feature a lot of cool features, and both have digital displays. Precise temperature control and glass mouthpieces lend themselves to great flavor.
The built in stir tool of the Utillian 620 is excellent for stirring, loading, and emptying your bowl. The mouthpiece guard on the ArGo is excellent for protecting your glass mouthpiece. There’s not a lot to split these devices.
The biggest factor I can think of is that helix convection. Convection will always give you better flavor than conduction, and the helix is just that much better.
The other thing to consider is the price. The Utillian 620 is a fraction of the cost of the ArGo, so you’ve got a tough decision ahead of you.
