Vaping on a rig or bubbler previously meant that you had to carry an external torch to cook waxes. The G Pen Hyer Vaporizer is an e-nail system that enables users to heat any 14mm female waterpipe using its electronic components. However, the market has changed a lot ever since.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is the newest standalone e-rig system with a Jacuzzi bubbler. Though being a self-contained e-rig device is a luxury, the overall performance and utility of a vaporizer matter the most.
The real difference between the two products revolves around whether the old technology is still relevant to make your smoking session convenient and enjoyable, or whether the recent changes in the value proportion have something better to offer. This article will explain that difference.
The G Pen Hyer is a mod system that has a battery base with magnetic connections. A braided cable connects the battery base to the heat tank through the snappy magnetic connectors. The manufacturer provides a bubbler or glass component with the G Pen Hyer. It is compatible with all sorts of 14mm female rigs. The overall component build is durable.
The battery base and the heating component are made of die-cast aluminum. The snappy magnetic connections are secure enough for safe and convenient attachments. The attachment and detachment routine is simple. You can carry the G Pen Hyer inside the carrying case, given its portable size and 450 grams of weight. However, the overall portability is dependent on the size of the external glass rig that you would carry.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is a standalone device that has its very own bubbler fixed on top of the battery component. The bubbler is called a Jacuzzi with a 60 milliliter capacity. The device looks premium because the classy aluminum outer makes it look aesthetically appealing. The sandblasted aluminum is scratch-resistant and shatter-free. The borosilicate Jacuzzi is also shatterproof.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is not an ideal portable device because it is meant for tabletop usage. It weighs around 520 grams and is 4.5 tall and 2.5 inches wide to keep it as handy as possible. The portability is compromised but not entirely.
Verdict
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is a great device for people demanding an all-in-one e-rig system. It has an efficient and durable bubbler integrated into its battery component. G Pen Hyer is suitable only if you have a premium glass pipe. Moreover, neither of the two products is perfectly portable.
Vapor Quality
The G Pen Hyer has a quartz tank for waxes and a ceramic tank for dry herb smoking (sold separately). The tank is effective enough to keep the vapor quality intact, but the vapors pass through the metallic pathway. Exposure to metallic components makes the vapors less medically graded.
You will get a constant output with no dip in the intensity as the heating system maintains great density throughout the smoking session. The G Pen Hyer contains no cooling system. You have to rely entirely on the external rig or bubbler to lower the temperature.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer has a quartz chamber that preserves the purity of every single vapor, while the glass path ensures that no metallic taste spoils the fun for you. The quartz chamber takes a bit long to heat up, but maintains the temperature due to delayed dissipation. The vapors are not too dense. However, the small Jacuzzi Bubbler really does its job by cooling the vapors in no time.
Verdict
If you already have a good rig that provides efficient cooling, then I would recommend G Pen Hyer. Otherwise, the DaVinci EQ is a much better option with its standalone filtration and cooling mechanism.
Heating Performance and Airflow
The G Pen Hyer performs better than most e-rig vaporizers as it prepares a well-cooked batch of vapors within 30 seconds. The conduction heating is powerful enough to cook the 0.5 grams of wax within seconds. The chamber material varies depending on the type of material that you use. The quartz chamber is ideal for concentrate smoking, while the ceramic is perfect for dry herb use.
The G Pen Hyer has a dual airflow mechanism where you get holes in the carb cap to control the stream of vapors. The quality and air intake of the bubbler that you use matter the most while assessing the airflow. The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer has a restricted airflow, where you get no control over the fluency of the vapor stream.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer has a quartz cubicle that provides only 0.1 grams of loading capacity. It prepares a batch within 45 seconds. The heating method is conduction, but it takes a bit of time to heat and catch up.
Verdict
If your preference is a hard-hitting vaporizer that prepares vapors within a few seconds, then the G Pen Hyer is surely the way to go. Despite a slow start, the DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is a decent choice for a steadier heating mechanism. The quartz component retains the heat to increase the heat efficiency in the next session.
Controls, Temperature Flexibility, and Features
The G Pen Hyer Vaporizer has one of the simplest yet most effective control features. It has a three-button system with five LED indicators. The power and up & down buttons are easy to understand and operate. You need no mobile app to use this device because the physical buttons provide enough control. The temperature range starts from 250 degrees and ends at 450 degrees Celsius.
The only thing that I do not like about operating the G Pen Hyer Vaporizer is that it has no precise temperature settings. You get five preset intensities with no special mode. The device communicates important alerts through a beep sound and vibration.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer also lacks mobile app connectivity, but it has a full colored touchscreen that enables controlling every important vaping aspect. The on-device controls allow the users to set any precise temperature intensity between 232 and 343 degrees Celsius. It includes Smart Path mode to help smoke in the DaVinci tailored method. This device also has a haptic feedback feature to keep you informed.
Verdict
If you value premium handling with maximum control, then the DaVinci EQ Vaporizer is surely a better choice. The G Pen Hyer Vaporizer is a minimalistic product that does its job without aesthetics. However, the key difference for me is the availability of precise temperature settings in the DaVinci EQ Vaporizer.
Battery Life and Charging
The G Pen Hyer Vaporizer has a single 6000 mAh battery component that serves around 30 sessions per charging cycle. The battery inside the shell is internal, so you cannot replace it to increase the backup. It is integrated with a USB-C port that supports passthrough charging and refills the device within 3 hours. The LED indicators on the device show the remaining battery life. It has no screen or mobile app to check the battery status in percentage.
The DaVinci EQ Vaporizer also carries 6000 mAh of battery capacity. However, its battery outlasts the G Pen Hyer as it provides around 50 sessions. Despite having an advanced touchscreen, the DaVinci EQ lasts longer because it has dual batteries of 3000 mAh each for better power management. The battery refills within 2 to 3 hours via the USB-C port. It supports passthrough charging to enable smoking while the device is charging.
Verdict
Though the capacity is the same, the DaVinci EQ has superior power management due to dual batteries. You get almost 60% more sessions than you get while using the G Pen Hyer.
Ease of Use
The G Pen Hyer does not require too much cleaning and maintenance and is comparatively easier to load. The quartz tank is wide enough to let you insert a bigger chunk of dry herbs. The tank treads off for a convenient deep clean when required.
The DaVinci EQ is one of those vaping devices that needs constant care and cleaning to prevent the residue from accumulating in the chamber. The tiny cubicle is difficult to clean or load, but removing it makes this task easier.
Verdict
Owning the G Pen Hyer Vaporizer means that you will live a more carefree life, but maintaining the DaVinci EQ is a hassle.
Price, Value, and Ownership Cost
The price and overall value are critical factors when deciding between these two devices. The G Pen Hyer is a decent purchase for $150. You get great features and performance at an affordable price, but you will need an external rig to use it. I would suggest going for the G Pen Hyer if you already have a good bubbler or water pipe.
The DaVinci EQ provides premium features at a high-end price. It is tailor-made for those who demand a portable and high-quality rig integrated into the product. The price of $549 might be a high investment initially, but it is worth every penny.

Pros
It is a standalone device with an in-built bubbler. Precise temperature settings are available. The high-end touchscreen communicates every detail. The vapor purity is exemplary. The battery lasts longer than G Pen Hyer.
More affordable than EQ. The vapors are denser and thicker. It is more portable (not considering the external waterpipe). The chamber is easier to load and clean. The holes in the carb cap let you control the airflow.
Cons
Cons
It is available at a high price.The vapors are lighter. The size is suitable for desktop usage only.
It requires an external rig.Lacks precise temperature controls. The LED indicator does not show the exact temperature readings.
Final Verdict
The G Pen Hyer and DaVinci EQ might operate on the water filtration system to cool and purify the vapors, but the overall usage is different. The DaVinci EQ is an all-in-one device that contains the battery component, touchscreen, and Jacuzzi Bubbler integrated together. However, this device is harder to buy because a teenage smoker or an average-earning person will think twice before investing more than $500 in a Vaporizer.
The G Pen Hyer is the complete opposite of its contemporary. It is available on the official website for $150 and fulfills all the mandatory requirements. I do not like it due to its overdependence on external rigs. You can give this product a try if you already have a decent water pipe in your inventory. A buyer with a sufficient budget will always treat G Pen Hyer as a second option.
