YOCAN UNI FAMILY

Yocan has produced different lines of vaporizers that have reached an iconic status through the years. At first there were the Evolve family, which was a line of portable wax pens or wax vaporizers that offered solid performance for the price. Then, the Chinese vaporizer company decided to make something better, a device that was built with the idea of being a universally compatible box mod for a wide variety of cartridges sold on the market — be it pre-filled or refillable carts.  

Thus, the Yocan UNI (and what would become the predecessor of the UNI family) was born.  

Yocan UNI: Humble Beginnings  

The Yocan UNI that was first released by Yocan was far from the UNI that we see from today. It was a basic device that had promising innovations, but had less advanced features. Nevertheless, the journey of the nameplate was fun to see as it started from a basic box mod with appointments never seen from any products in the segment.  

The very first Yocan UNI had a battery with decent capacity and preset temperature settings — good enough for a budget vaporizer at the time. But what set it apart was its adjustable aperture and height valves that would become a staple of the model.  

Using the latter, owners of the original Yocan UNI were able to adjust the tightness of the chamber to fit any size cartridge. Likewise, short-length carts were easily accommodated as the Yocan UNI had a height adjustment tool that can push the cartridge up or down the chamber.  

Also, key to the said system was a magnetic connector with a 510-thread. Using a 510-threaded connector means that it can be compatible with a wide range of products without owners being required to make certain modifications to their devices.  

The magnetic connector too was a clever way to save money and prolong the longevity of the box mod. Should the threaded link become loose, owners need not to purchase a whole new vaporizer, just the loose component.  

The aforementioned was basically the formula that helped shape the success of the Yocan UNI model. It has only been years, but the improvements offered by the latest iterations of the device feel like more.  

Yocan UNI Advantage  

There are certain advantages to selecting the Yocan UNI over other vaporizers competing in the same category.  

1. Yocan Affordability

For one, the Yocan UNI is a cheap device that will give its owners decent features without costing them an arm and a leg. Yocan has been known to make some of the most affordable devices that can compete with the features and quality of more expensive products.  

At the time of writing, the original Yocan UNI is listed in our (Yocan Vaporizer) website for only $29.99. Imagine, that’s nearly how much you’re paying for a Premium Netflix subscription. For approximately the same price, you get a box mod that can last you a long time and can help you enjoy the benefits of your select wax concentrates and essential oils.  

2. Time-tested Technology

Another benefit of choosing the Yocan UNI is its time-tested technology. As you might have imagined, the Yocan UNI has been out for years and the pillars that helped establish its name in the vaping community are considered as technologies that have stood the test of time.  

The first of which is the use of reliable charging technologies such as micro-USB in the early versions of the Yocan UNI up until the now standard USB Type-C, which is in use on most modern-day Yocan UNI models.  

Yocan has also played around with the different battery sizes. As we have briefly discussed above, the first Yocan UNI had a 650 milliampere (mAh) battery capacity, but the Chinese vaporizer company has changed the battery size and capacity of the different types of Yocan UNI throughout the years.  

Currently, the Yocan UNI is available in different versions with the largest battery capacity at 900 mAh.  

Another notable technology used by the Yocan UNI is precision temperature control.  

Featured in the professional-quality Yocan UNI Pro models, the brand’s take on precision temperature control allows its owners to go beyond the traditional pre-set temperature settings and select temperature levels that best suit their needs.  

The advantage to this feature is precision personalization and the ability to extract different types of cannabinoids from wax concentrates and oils. Having such technology can bring out the full potential of one’s materials and can make for a more rewarding session at the end of the day.  

Yocan has been using precision temperature control on many of its devices so you can say that it is not new territory for the brand. Instead, it is a founded technology that the company has had a good amount of experience in implementing.  

3. Iconic Yocan reliability

Yocan is a brand that has made a name for itself for being hardy and reliable despite the low and affordable price of its products. Think of the brand as like the Toyota of vaporizers, and the UNI family is the RAV4. It has blazed its own trail and have maintained the dependability of the brand.  

Yocan is based in Shenzhen, China, which is the technological hub of the country. In its factory, Yocan implements the strictest form of management and follows standards such as International Organization for Certification (ISO), who also certified the same facility.  

In addition, Yocan builds its products with Incoming Quality Control (IQC), Input Process Quality Control (IPQC), Laboratory Quality Control (LQC), and Factory Quality Assessment (FQA) in mind. On that note, all Yocan vaporizers, vaping tools, smoking paraphernalia, and other accessories, have passed Conformité Européenne (CE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards.  

The quality Yocan offers for the price of its products is mind blowing. That's because the company does its best to ensure that its customers are happy with the devices they buy.  

Best Yocan UNI Vaporizers to Buy 

Yocan has already released a handful of vaporizers from the UNI family. And while they do only make up a fragment of the brand’s entire collection, choosing what Yocan UNI vaporizer to buy can be challenging.  

That said, we have already come up with a simple list to get you started.  

1. Yocan UNI Box Mod

Of course, you want to begin testing Yocan UNI products starting with the original, the Yocan UNI Box Mod.  

We recommend trying out the Yocan UNI Box Mod first because it is the vaporizer in the family that has some of the basic features that can help you get familiar with using a UNI. Things like the first iterations of the aperture and height adjustment valves, and the preset temperature levels, which we talked about briefly before.  

In addition, the Yocan UNI is also one of the most affordable devices in the collection. So, you can try it out without really having to invest that much in buying a box mod vaporizer.  

2. Yocan UNI Pro Box Mod

The Yocan UNI Pro Box Mod is a more professional-level device created to answer the needs of consumers with a higher demand for functionality and personalization.  

As we have talked about earlier, the precision temperature setting makes for a more precise level of vaporization as well as a higher degree of personalization for consumers who are more particular with the vapors they consume.  

As you may imagine, lower temperature levels release the aromatic and flavorful features of wax concentrates and oils while the higher temperature levels bring out the psychoactive effects we love from our favorite materials.  

The precision temperature settings in the Yocan UNI Pro are easy to use and get used to. Compared to other vaporizers the Yocan UNI Pro Box Mod competed to — which typically required some level of review or practice — the technology implemented in this device was designed and engineered to be easy.  

It had a left and right button which respectively decreased and increased the temperature. The running level can be displayed on an OLED screen on the device, which was not only helpful but also astonishing to see at the time for a wax and oil box mod that cost under $40.00. 

The Yocan UNI Pro Box Mod also had a sharper and edgier design, making it a better-looking vaporizer than its predecessor.  

3. Yocan Wulf Mods UNI X Cartridge Vaporizer

The Yocan Wulf Mods UNI X Cartridge Vaporizer not only looks modern but also performs like a modern vaporizer. It might have lost its box mod appeal but deep down it is still a Yocan UNI at heart.  

As the name implies, the Yocan Wulf Mods UNI X Cartridge Vaporizer is a collaborative product between Yocan and Wulf Mods, two known vaporizer companies in the vaping industry.  

Powering the Yocan Wulf Mods UNI X Cartridge Vaporizer is a 400 mAh battery but now has an updated charging technology in the form of USB Type-C. It has a 510-threaded connection and boasts a variable voltage battery.  

What’s great about it is that looks pretty much like the average tobacco vape and will not give you away. The cartridge, which contains the wax concentrates or the essential oils. So, you will not raise the flag and the people around you will not be suspicious that you are consuming wax and oil.  

Honorable Mentions 

Of course, we also have honorable mentions of Yocan UNI models that have been commendable through the years.  

1. Yocan UNI Twist Universal Portable Box Mod

The Yocan UNI Twist Universal Portable Box Mod is basically a Yocan UNI Box Mod but the way you adjust the temperature level is what’s different about this vaporizer. Unlike the original that had three preset temperature levels or the pro version that had precision temperature control as well as a digital display screen, the Yocan UNI Twist Universal Portable Box Mod required its owners to twist the valve under the vaporizer to change the intensity of the heating element.  

It is great since the Yocan UNI Twist Universal Portable Box Mod offered beginners and those fairly new to vaping a simple and straightforward way of exploring the full potential of their favorite materials.  

2. Yocan UNI S Box Mod Vaporizer

The Yocan UNI S Box Mod Vaporizer made a statement in the vaping community when it was introduced. See, the Yocan UNI vaporizers before it all had a plastic body, so many vaporizer users who are particular about the overall quality and feel of their devices felt that they wanted a more premium version of the already popular mode.  

Yocan obliged and released the Yocan UNI S Box Mod Vaporizer which was swathed in a metallic body.  

It greatly improved the premium-ness of the box mod and greatly enhanced it durability, while allowing owners to easily maintain a good-looking vaporizer.  

The Yocan UNI S Box Mod Vaporizer was a commercial success and is considered a great attempt from Yocan at spicing up its lineup.
