This week we will take a look at the Yocan STIX PLUS. The STIX PLUS comes in a simple yet stylish packaging and is available in different color options. The STIX PLUS is a refillable oil pen aimed at those looking for a discreet pen design as well as those of us Yocan refers to as “flavor chasers”. Let’s take a look at what the YOCAN STIX PLUS gets right and see where it misses the mark.

Recommendations: It would be nice if the button lit up while charging
The people at Yocan were kind enough to send two batteries perhaps to showcase the color selections they offer. This was nice, but what really excited me was the quality of the battery. At $14.99 and coming from China, I expected a pen you use and lose or eventually stop working. Maybe a loose charger connection, anything to justify the cheap price. I was pleased to find that Yocan Stix Plus had a nice weight that felt substantial and sturdy without feeling bulky or too heavy. The button clicks satisfyingly and doesn’t feel like it’s misaligned or made of cheap material. I was impressed.
The YOCAN STIX PLUS features a leak-proof reservoir, called independent storage, that is perfect for on-the-go vaping. The storage is transparent so you can easily tell how much material there is left in the cartridge to avoid burning your coils and suffering from bad-tasting vapors. The cartridge also works as a mouthpiece to provide users with a tighter airflow, allowing less air into the chamber to let more of your select oil concentrates into the vapor. This is all to help you experience better-tasting vapors with fuller flavors. While the main ingredient in the full flavor comes from the ceramic coils, I can say that I used other cartridges as well and the flavor was still noticeably better than other pens I’ve used, though not quite what it was when loading oil into the leak-proof storage.
The Yocan STIX uses an advanced ceramic atomizer that claims to help you experience better-tasting flavors every hit. The idea behind this is that with the use of ceramic components, your oil concentrates can steep and will be absorbed by the ceramic in the atomizer. Ceramic is porous, so it can absorb the oil as it heats up which allows the vapor to retain a fuller flavor. This is supposed to result in better-tasting hits, and I can attest that it does. Until the very end of my cartridge, each hit was tasty and smooth. It should be noted that you’re exchanging the denser vapor production for the taste, but what’s the point of big clouds if they taste like burnt toenails? It should be noted that the ceramic coils are in independent storage and are not in play when using store-bought 510 threaded cartridges.
The Yocan Stix can fit in most pockets without any bulge, making it perfect for the discreet smoker. The provided Leak proof oil storage is slightly bulkier than store-bought 510-threaded cartridges but no wider than the battery itself. The battery of the Yocan Stix Plus Vaporizer is 3.34 inches long, 5.04 with the provided Leak Proof storage, and only 0.55 inches in diameter.
Below are the corresponding heat levels.
The Yocan Stix vape pen has 3 preset temperatures which provide you with a good range of heat for oils of varying viscosity. The 3 temperatures offered by the Stix pen are Low, Medium, and High, and can be toggled between by using the power button. The Yocan Stix features an elegant and simple one-button design which makes using this pen nearly fool-proof. And if you forget, the instructions are right on the box. Since one button controls the power, temperature, and activation, this pen is perfect for those new to oil pens.
Yocan boasts that the Stix vape pen is manufactured to be leak-free. This means you should not run into any issues with the Stix vape leaking your precious oil into your pocket. I recommend leaving the Stix pen with its cartridges in an upright position, as a rule, to ensure there are no leaks when in extremely hot or cold conditions, on a plane, or when utilizing the pen with another cartridge aside from the one provided.
The Yocan Stix Plus has a long battery life. I finished 2 full-gram cartridges on one full charge. The one drawback, though a minor one, is that when charging there is no way to tell that it is aside from trusting the USB-C connection from the pen to the power source. It would be nice if it lit up for peace of mind, especially if you are someone who has a finicky or broken charger. Aside from that I was surprised and pleased by the life of the fully charged 350mhz battery of the Yocan Stix Plus.
Are you are looking for a solid oil pen at a cheap price? One that may not be the flashiest or highest quality, but will get the job done. The Yocan Stix plus surpassed my expectations in all the major categories. When an oil pen is affordable, it’s usually purchased for function and value, rather than quality. With the Yocan Stix PLUS, you can have the best of both. Are there nicer oil pens? Sure. Are they as cheap or cheaper? Probably not. The range of colors, the discreet design, the quality of the build, and the results when you start smoking are all reasons to purchase the YOCAN Stix PLUS.
The Yocan Stix Vaporizer was made with few parts making it a robust and rigid device. Likewise, having fewer parts make it easy to clean and maintain. To clean your Yocan Stix Vaporizer, follow the steps below.
