Yocan Orbit vs Lookah Swordfish: Which Dab Pen is Better?

Dab pens are the ultimate portable solution for enjoying concentrates on the go.

Today, we’re going to take a closer look at two popular portable dab pens on the market, the Yocan Orbit and the Lookah Swordfish.

Both of these devices are considered budget-friendly dab pens but can deliver amazing flavor, performance, and convenience.

These devices are designed to elevate your concentrate sessions to the next level with features like adjustable temperature control, quartz atomizer, and more.

But which one is better for you? In this article, we will compare them based on several criteria.

By the end of this post, you will have a clear idea of which dab pen suits your needs and preferences better. Let’s get started!

Aesthetic Design

The Yocan Orbit is an intuitively designed device that looks like a thick pen.

The Lookah Swordfish has a sleeker design, which is inspired by swordfish in the ocean.

It looks very beautiful, This is subjective of course. But if you look at the two units side by side, and are not aware of their functionality, you would probably pick up the Lookah Swordfish.

Build Quality

The Yocan Orbit’s main body is constructed out of stainless steel and comes in a shiny finish.

It also has a glass mouthpiece and a quartz atomizer on the top end. You can actually see the bowl heat up, your wax melt, and the terp pearls spinning as you draw.

Lookah Swordfish is no slouch in manufacturing quality, its main body is made from durable Zinc Alloy and also has a glass mouthpiece and a quartz atomizer.

A glass mouthpiece is probably one of the best features you’ll find on a wax vaporizer. Glass is a neutral material that keeps vapor pure and untainted by foreign materials – delivering full, flavorful results.

Portability

The Yocan Orbit measures 5.5 inches in length and 0.6 inches in diameter, while Lookah Swordfish measures 4.5 inches in length and 1.0 inches (bottom end) in diameter.

They’re both similar in size, however, the Lookah Swordfish is definitely a bit more bag-friendly that the Yocan Orbit is.

glass is fragile and easily to break, especially when dropped to the ground. Lookah Swordfish's glass mouthpiece is fixed on the device, while Orbit not.

Many people complained that the glass mouthpiece on their Yocan Orbit device was damaged due to falling.

Performance - Atomizer

Both Yocan Orbit and Lookah Swordfish dab pen uses a coil-less quartz atomizer which heats up fast and delivers pure, flavorful vapor, making it ideal for flavor chasers.

What set the Yocan Orbit's quartz atomizer apart is its two Terp Pearls or quartz balls. Quartz balls are interesting, They spin in atomizer and absorb a lot of heat. Then, the hot rotating ball stirs the dabs to help it heat more evenly and efficiently.

At first, I definitely thought the balls were a gimmick, but they did help the wax evaporate better. And it is cool to see the glass ball spinning in the atomizer!

Overall, either device will give you a good range of excellent flavor or huge clouds. But Yocan Orbit has a slight advantage in this regard - even heating.

Heat Settings

Temp control of a dab pen allows you to customize your sessions whether you're chasing flavour or dense clouds.

The lower voltage setting preserves the terpenes and flavonoids of your concentrate. As the voltage goes up, so does the temperature which allows you to create massive clouds (but less flavorful).

Generally, more temp settings would be better. Both devices offer a variety of temperature settings to cater to individual preferences

The Yocan Orbit has three preset heat profiles: 3.4V (White), 3.7V (Blue), and 4.0V (Green).

The Lookah Swordfish also comes with three preset temperatures, 3.5V (Green), 3.7V (Blue), and 3.9V (White).

You can change the temp setting by pressing the power button 2 times quickly. Each setting is indicated by a unique LED light color.

One big difference between the two is that the Lookah Swordfish can reach a slightly higher temperature than the Yocan Orbit.

Battery Life and Charging

The Yocan Orbit features a strong 1700mAh battery. It’s a powerhouse that offers extended use, avoiding frequent charges. You’ll be able to get 10-12 sessions in before needing a recharge.

On the other hand, the Lookah Swordfish doesn’t have as big a battery, but it manages its power well. It’s smart with energy, giving you a good amount of usage time for 12 to 15 sessions before needing a charge.

Both dab pens offer modern, fast, and convenient USB-C charging. This is great, especially since old micro-USB port charges slow and unstable.

Ease of Use

Both the Yocan Orbit and Lookah Swordfish have a simple single-button operation. 5 clicks to turn the device and pre-heating on, 2 to cycle through the 3 voltages, and 5 clicks to turn it off.

Around the firing button is a LED ring (Yocan Orbit) or LED light (Lookah Swordfish) that indicates the current device status and which of the 3 variable voltages you’re on.

What makes the Lookah Swordfish unique is its Magnetic flip cap, which makes loading the quartz atomizer so easy – I wish more devices adapted this design.

All there is to do is open, load, and close – the hinge and the magnets ensure that the mouthpiece and the device body are perfectly aligned and sealed.

With the Yocan Orbit, You need more complicated operations - remove the glass mouthpiece, load the concentrates, and put the glass mouthpiece back.

Cleaning

Both the Yocan Orbit and Lookah Swordfish features a removable atomizer and mouthpiece that makes full cleaning easy, safe, and thorough.

Just take the quartz atomizer and mouthpiece out, soak in Isopropyl Alcohol for 30 minutes, rinse it with water, and reassemble.

After each session, Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean both the sides and bottom of the quartz atomizer.

For Yocan Orbit, you need one more step: Wipe the terp pearls down often to prevent them from being overly sticky.

Price

Yocan Orbit is inexpensive at $59.99 and packs a punch for its weight categories.

Lookah Swordfish wins for most inexpensive at $55.24 and same flavorful experience, though.

In Conclusion

Both the Yocan Orbit and the Lookah Swordfish are pretty portable, user-friendly, worth the price tag, and provide excellent dabbing experiences. You’ll be able to get a wicked session in as long as you’re able to load the concentrates.

Ultimately, the choice between these two devices depends on your specific needs and preferences.

The Yocan Orbit is the right dab pen for you if you value your device’s heating performance. It delivers high-quality vapor rich in flavor and potency, with Terp Pearls for efficient and even heating.

The Lookah Swordfish is the perfect dab pen if you value the device’s amazing-looking design, and quality feel.
