When Yocan released their latest iteration in the Uni lineup and marketed it with the tagline “Temp control with a twist”, I never really thought that they would mean it literally.
The Yocan Uni Twist is here and has proved us wrong, as it features actual physical twist controls for controlling most of its functionalities. If you’re new to vaping with 510 thread batteries, I recommend checking out our ranking list of the best 510 thread batteries for a broader scope of what’s popular on the market today.
Yocan has good units and some that are geared towards being affordable but not really great quality wise. Let’s see in which category the Uni Twist can change that around.

How It Works
The Yocan Uni Twist is a nifty little device that makes vaping easy with its twistable voltage control and universal cartridge support. Here’s a simple guide on how to get started with your Uni Twist:
Step 1: Press the main button on your Uni Twist 5 times to turn it on. You’ll know it’s on when the lights come on.
Step 2: Take the magnetic connector and twist it onto your cartridge. Then, slide the cartridge into the Uni Twist. Use the dial on top to adjust the fins so your cartridge fits just right.
Step 3: Hold down the main button to heat up your wax. Once it’s ready, take a puff from the mouthpiece.
It’s that easy! The Uni Twist doesn’t have a screen, so you don’t have to worry about any complicated settings. Just twist, press, and vape. While I found the dials amusing and fun to play around with, I would have hoped that the adjustability of the cartridge holder would have provided accessibility to larger ones. Even units like the Rhotron, which don’t have adjustable cartridges, can easily fit up to 2ml carts.
Manufacturing Quality
Having had my hands on a variety of vaporizers, I’ve come to appreciate the ones that strike a balance between quality feel and user-friendliness. The Yocan Uni Twist falls into this category with its decent construction. It’s crafted from the same zinc-aluminum alloy you’ll find in many reliable mods, giving it a sturdy feel without the heft.
The tactile components like buttons and dials give you the feedback you need, although they don’t glide as smoothly as dials seen on some higher-end models. But considering the price point, these are minor gripes. It’s not going to feel as luxurious as, say, the Zeus Ion with its flashy gold accents, but it holds its own in the looks department.
In hand, the Yocan Uni Twist is comfortable; it’s got a heft that speaks to its durability, yet it’s compact enough not to be a burden. It’s a straightforward device—no frills, just function. And while it may not have the single-button elegance of the Utillian 50, it does offer an adjustable height and width feature that’s quite handy. This means it can accommodate a range of cartridges, which is a plus for versatility.
So, while it may not outshine some of the higher-quality units out there, the Yocan Uni Twist stands as a solid, dependable choice for those who prioritize durability and functionality over high-end finishes.
Temperature Flexibility
Unlike many of its predecessors, this device doesn’t limit you to a handful of pre-set temperatures. Instead, it offers a full spectrum, from a mellow 1.8V all the way up to a robust 4.2V, adjustable in 0.1V increments. This means you have the freedom to fine-tune your vaping experience to your exact preference.
The twist dial at the base of the mod is a simple yet effective way to navigate through temperatures, allowing for a personalized session whether you’re after flavor or cloud production. While the Yocan Uni Pro offered similar functionality, the Uni Twist simplifies the process, removing the need to fiddle with buttons and an OLED screen that could drain your battery.
I find this level of control to be a cool extra instead of a big advantage, mostly because the absence of a temperature sensor means that precision may not be as critical for most 510 threaded batteries. Devices like the Utillian 50, with its four preset temperatures and a preheat function, demonstrate that a well-chosen range can be sufficient for a satisfying vape.
However, the Yocan Uni Twist’s approach to temperature control is commendable, offering a degree of customization that can enhance the vaping experience for both novices and connoisseurs alike. It’s this adaptability that makes the Uni Twist a noteworthy contender in the crowded field of portable vaporizers.
Battery Life
The Yocan Uni Twist comes with a 500mAh battery, for the casual vaper, this little guy can keep up with your day-to-day without much fuss.
When it comes to the charging capabilities, the Uni Twist comes with a USB-C. It offers a decently quick charge time in general. We’re talking about a significant upgrade from the old micro-USB days, which means less time tethered to a wall socket and more time enjoying your sessions.
Now, it’s true that the Uni Twist’s battery isn’t as big a some of the more premium 510 thread batteries out there, but it’s also true that it doesn’t need to be. The efficient use of power means that even with a smaller battery, you’re not constantly worrying about your next charge. And when you do need to power up, that USB-C port ensures you’re back in action pretty quickly.
Portability
When you’re looking for a 510 thread battery that’s easy to take with you, the Yocan Uni Twist is a solid choice. It’s smaller than the older Uni Pro because it doesn’t have a big screen. This makes it really light and easy to carry around. If you don’t like those big, heavy vapes, you’ll like how the Uni Twist feels in your hand or pocket.
It’s got this cool feature where you can attach your vape cartridge with a magnet. This means you can quickly take it off the battery and put it away without any hassle. It’s super handy when you’re on the move.
In general terms, this unit’s portability is above average. It’s not absolutely top-tier, like you would get from a smaller unit like the Litl Bit, but it will definitely serve its purpose.
Overall Experience
After trying out the Yocan Uni Twist, I’ve got to say, it’s a pretty cool little 510 Battery for anyone looking for an easy-to-use vape. It’s got a bunch of unique features that aren’t really common among the 510 thread batteries.
Overall I think that the Yocan Uni Twist is one of Yocan’s best products in terms of the intent behind its construction. It’s more of a niche vape that will be a viable option for anyone who really likes the adjustable dials. If your focus is on Build quality or Portability specifically, there are units out there that will be better options, such as the Utillian 50 or the Zeus Ion, which are two of the most popular currently.
If you want to view these options for yourself or just want a broader understanding of what units have proven to maintain their position at the top, you can always take a quick glance at our 510 thread ranking page.
That’s all I have for this Yocan Uni Twist Review. I hope you got some useful information out of it and as always. Keep Vapin!
