Vessel Vista Review – Better than the first?

How it Works

Oil vapes are exceedingly simple to use, and the Vessel Vista is no different. Thread on a compatible 510-threaded cartridge, power up the device with a triple-click, and hold the power button to enjoy your treats!

That’s really all there is to using this device, aside from changing the power output which we’ll cover in the temperature flexibility section below.

Manufacturing Quality

These things are nice! It feels far nicer in the hand that the majority of oil pen vaporizers and that scalpel-like aesthetic looks, well, sharp.

You can tell that the unit is well machined and has an excellent build quality. It doesn’t display fingerprints, it feels great in the hand, and for the classy consumer, something like this will definitely fit the bill better than most.

All of the batteries made by Vessel are gorgeous and a step above the rest, and the main selling point of the device. We can gladly confirm that they meet that selling point promptly.

Power Flexibility

You’re given three temperature/voltage settings to play with, however, this isn’t exactly anything special now. When the original Vessel battery launched (which we very much enjoyed using), the three power settings were a step up over the fixed setting found on the vast majority of units.

Nowadays we see cheap oil vapes with multiple temperature settings now, so the three found on the Vista aren’t anything special. That being said, the power settings are well-chosen, however, we would’ve liked to see a little more versatility in the mix with this new model.

Vapor Quality

A lot of the vapor quality with oil cartridge vaporizers will depend on the material you’re using, and if you’re using high-quality cartridges then you’ll be quite happy with the quality.

It’s great being able to change up the voltage to alter the experience you get from a given cartridge. In terms of oil vaporizers, it performs as good as you could want it to and we always recommend using the best cartridges available to get the best experience possible.

Portability

You’re provided with 320mAh of juice to play with which is more than enough for any user out there. This is more than most other oil pen vapes out there and it charges in no time.

It does use a proprietary magnetic charger, which although nice isn’t exactly our favorite – a standardized port like USB-C is always more desirable just because of how available it is. Lose the charger? You’re in trouble.

A surprise to no one, oil pen vapes are hilariously portable considering the power they pack inside. The Vessel Vista is about the size of a regular Sharpie market, albeit infinitely more prestigious.

We like how they’ve made the collar of the device mostly protect the cartridge within, saving your precious oils from any drops or falls should worst come to worse. The heartbreak of dropping a brand new cartridge on the pavement is nicely avoidable this way.

Ease of Use

Oil vapes are almost too easy to use and the Vessel Vista follows that. While it doesn’t have to inhale activation unlike the Tronian Pitron, we can’t say we’re too bothered by that as there’s almost a hidden guilt towards using draw activated devices. It’s almost too easy.

Still, you shouldn’t have a hard time threading in your cartridge and playing with the buttons to turn it on, adjust the power, and inhale. We reckon a monkey could figure it out, and we’ve got a couple of monkeys on our team here who figured it out just fine.

Discreetness

Did we mention that oil pen vapes are almost too easy? Using the Vessel Vista when out and about almost feels like cheating compared to how moderately sketchy taking a few tokes was back just a decade back.

You can get pull it out, get a few heavy hits, and toss it back in your pocket before the door behind you has even closed. They’re so small they can be hidden anywhere and while there are more discreet units out there, chances are you want this device to be seen considering how gorgeous it is.

Overall Experience

There’s really something pleasant about the feel, look, and aesthetic that the team at Vessel manages nails so well.

If you want to bring a little bit of prestige and class to your experience, you couldn’t go wrong with one of these.

While we wish it uses USB-C charging like on their Compass oil vaporizer and had a couple more power settings, we’re still perfectly content with how good the experience itself feels – and that’s worth something.

If you’re looking for something with a bit more flexibility when it comes to temperature options but still want to maintain the sleek look that the Vista offers, check out the Vessel vape pen.
