Yocan Evolve Plus XL Review

Is the Yocan Evolve Plus XL worth it?

As a portable dab pen with a 1400mAh battery and solid metal design, there is a whole lot to love about the Yocan Evolve Plus XL.

As the newer version of the Plus, the new and old key features like adjustable airflow, improved coils, integrated storage container, and more are awesome!

In this review, we’ll be going over these key features and comparing them to other devices on our Best Wax Pens list to help you make the right decision when it comes to your new dab pen!

Is the Yocan Evolve Plus XL portable?

Coming in at 4.72 X 0.75 in, the Evolve Plus XL is about the same size as a standard nicotine vape and will fit into most pockets with ease. While it is a bit on the heavier side, the metal body does feel better in the hand when compared to Cheap Dab Pens.

Suitable Substances

The quad coils will be able to go through your favorite kinds of dabs, resins, wax, etc. with ease if you hold the power/heating button down long enough.

Yocan Evolve Plus XL Battery Life

With a 1400mAh battery life, heavy users should be able to get a full day of use out of their Plus XL. As the heat-up time is very fast with the quad coils between 2-5 seconds, it is well optimized for fast sessions. The battery is housed deep within the metal body as well, so you won’t have to worry about potential damage from dropping it. Compared to newer devices with USB-C charging though, the XL does lag a little behind with a two-hour charge with the included micro-USB cable.

Yocn Evolve Plus vs. Evolve Plus XL

Compared to the older model, the Yocan Evolve Plus, the XL features a larger battery, more rugged design, adjustable airflow, and overall improved design.

• The top cap is now magnetic and pops off for much easier access to the coil threading.  In my opinion, the wider body also looks much better, as well as the larger mouthpiece for better airflow.

How to use the Evolve Plus XL?

To use your new Yocan Evolve Plus XL, the first thing you’ll want to do is charge it fully, and then run a burn-off cycle or two. Let’s take a look at a sample session:

1. Start by pressing the power button five times quickly to turn your dab pen on.
2. Remove the magnetic mouthpiece and then unscrew the coil airflow cap to reveal the quad quartz coils.
3. Once you load them with the included dab tool, thread the airflow cap back on, followed by popping the magnetic mouthpiece back on.
4. When you’re ready to inhale, just press and hold the power button down for around five seconds before you inhale.

If you want to adjust the airflow, you can do so by twisting the middle steel part where the notches are. More airflow will mean easier airflow and better taste, whereas less means improved cloud production and harder pulls. Once you’re done with your session, power the vape down by pressing the power button five times in two seconds again. To clean the coils, we recommend some vape cleaning sticks to use while the coils are still hot to wipe out any residue you might want to clean out.

How to clean the Yocan Evolve Plus XL?

As mentioned, the only real thing that you’ll have to clean and maintain are the coils with some vape cleaning sticks.

If you begin to notice a burning flavor or decreased vapor quality, this might be an indication that it’s time to swap your Yocan Evolve Plus XL Coils.

They aren’t the most durable design, and as they favor quick heating and are quite thin, you’ll most likely get about a month of quality usage out of them. This feature doesn’t quite match the rest of the awesome manufacturing on the dab pen, but at the same time, the XL is very affordable, so that’s the trade-off.

When it comes to cleaning the rest of your vaporizer, you can use a vape alcohol wipe to get rid of the grime from the stainless steel body, as well as any resin buildup around the mouthpiece cap.

Warranty

With your Evolve Plus XL, you’ll only have a 14-day coverage against manufacturer’s defects, so make sure that you give it a try it as soon as you get it!

Yocan Evolve Plus Pros

• Affordable
• Big Clouds
• Splash-Preventing Chamber Cap
• Airflow Dial

Yocan Evolve Plus Cons

• No voltage control
• Vapor tastes like metal
• Wastes dabs because it’s too powerful

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Yocan Evolve Plus XL has a lot of great features going for it like its adjustable airflow, massive 1400mAh battery, and stainless steel design. However, it’s held back by a few things like the fully threaded design and Micro-USB charging.

More modern dab pens have easier ceramic cup designs with faster and more readily available USB-C charging that beat out the XL like the Tronian Gammatron.

Where the Plux XL does shine though is its battery and affordability. If you’re a heavy user that is trying to stay budget-friendly, then this will be one of our top picks for you.
