Review: Utillian 721

How it Works

The Utillian 721 was designed with simplicity in mind. First, remove the magnetic cap to expose the heating chamber and to load your botanical.

The 721 only uses 1 button to operate the device, 5 quick clicks turns the device on and it will begin heating to the last set temperature. To cycle through the temperatures you click the button 2 times.

And pressing and holding the button will enable/disable the “enhanced” mode. When the temperature light at the top of the chamber turns solid it has reached temperature and you are ready to enjoy your vapor!

Temperature Flexibility

Despite having just 1 button similar to the LITL 1, the Utillian 721 actually has pretty decent temperature flexibility. The unit has 4 pre-set base temperatures indicated by the color of the LED at the top of the device – green is 170 Celsius, Blue is 180 Celsius, purple is 190 Celsius, and red is 210 Celsius.

The unit also features an “enhanced” mode which when active bumps each of the base temperatures up by 5 degrees Celsius. To enable or disable the “enhanced” mode press and hold the button for 5 seconds, the LED will blink rapidly to signal the unit is in “enhanced mode” and a slow flash means its set to “standard mode”. As previously stated once the LED has turned solid you are ready to start vaping!

Vapor Quality

One thing we absolutely love about this unit is the fact that it uses convection heating, unlike the conduction heating we find devices such as the Zeus Arc GTS Hub. In a convection vaporizer your cannabis is being cooked by hot air as it passes your cannabis, rather the direct contact with the heating element like in conduction vaporizers. The result is smoother more flavourful draws throughout the session and more consistent vapor.

Pair the convection heating of the 721 with its multiple temperature settings and the result is amazing and customizable vapor quality that can satisfy both new users and seasoned users alike. At lower temperatures, draws are smooth, flavourful with nice wispy vapor. At higher temperature vapor is nice and dense, you will have no trouble getting big draws from this device.

 

The flavour is still very good at higher temperatures, though it can be a bit harsh at its highest temperature which is to be expected. Some users may be wary because the mouthpiece is made out of plastic, however, in our testing this had virtually no effect on the flavour, similar to how the crafty’ s mouthpiece also does not influence taste.

It seriously impressed us that the Utillian 721 is able to handle cannabis with such grace and flavour, the convection heating is on full display.

Overall vapor quality is where this unit shines and draws can easily be customized to your preference. For the price point it’s really hard for any comparable unit to beat the Utillian 721’s vapor quality.

Manufacturing Quality

This unit feels really nice in your hand. The shell is made out of anodized aluminum and coated with a rubberized finish and the cap is made out of heat-resistance plastic unlike the Utillian 420 that comes with a glass mouthpiece.

All parts are well machined, it has a nice large aluminum heating chamber and cap/mouthpiece clicks snuggly into place with a magnet.

The screen, o-ring, and mouthpiece on the cap can be easily removed to access the air path for cleaning and maintenance. Utillian also backs this product with a year 1 warranty for added peace of mind.

Battery Life

The battery life on the 721 has been upgraded over the previous model now boasting up to 60 minutes of use per charge.

This means you will get to spend more time vaping and less time worrying about charging your unit. There is an indicator light on the bottom of the device that allows you to check your charge level. However, users looking for a unit with more battery time tend to prefer units like the Solo 2 that offers 3 hours of battery time.

Portability

The Utillian 721 was designed with portability in mind unlike the Arizer Air 2 which is bulky and difficult to carry. The unit is slim and fits easily inside a pocket and is light enough that you won’t even notice you are carrying it.

The mouthpiece is designed to swivel out so it can remain flush with the unit for easy storage. Couple this with the unit’s excellent battery life and you’ve got a vaporizer that is great to bring out and about.

Ease of Use

As we touched upon earlier in the review, this unit is very easy to use unlike the Firefly 2 Plus. The 1 button design means interacting with this unit is a simple matter of inputting different combinations of button presses for corresponding functions; just 5 clicks within 2 – 3 seconds to turn it on, 2 clicks to change temperature, and a long press to enable and disable the enhanced mode.

All temperatures are represented by the LED at the top of the device. This vaporizer is simple, intuitive, and will be very inviting to newcomers who are looking for an easy to use unit that will perform well out of the box.

The Utillian 721 is a very strong showing from a manufacturer that is still in its infancy. Vapor quality is outstanding with the incorporation of convection heating and beats most units that share a similar price point.

The unit also has decent temperature flexibility with its “enhanced mode” function, allowing you to easily customize your session and achieve the vapor that is right for you. Battery life is excellent and outperforms even high-end units like the crafty in this category making it very appealing for people who are looking for a unit they can take with them for the day.

If you are curious how the Utillian stacks up against the Crafty, be sure to check out our comparison where we break down the pros and cons of each unit.

This unit is easy enough that it will be inviting for newcomers to use right out of the box but sophisticated enough to provide more seasoned connoisseurs a truly satisfying vapor experience. Overall we were very impressed with the Utillian 721, it is a very well rounded vaporizer at a very attractive price.
