And by the end, if you don't have a decision, give us a comment, and we will help you through it. 

Before we move forward with the overview of the two vaporizers, let's have a look at what the brand is all about and where it originates from.

Grenco Science - An Overview 

Grenco Science understands the needs of the younger generation and brings this forward in their high-end quality products that align with what the public is looking for. 

They have collaborated with big names like Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, that have been promoting the brand with their personalized products and being a spokesperson. 

Grenco Science also sponsored the Golden God Awards in 2013, which is a rock music award show that was held in Los Angeles. This allowed them to further connect with the young people, marketing their powerful portables further into the mainstream vape market. 

To this day, Grenco Science is giving us new vaporizers, better technology, and portability to get ahead of the competition, and completely revolutionize the vape market. On that similar note, let's get ahead and see what we can say about the G Pen Elite vs Pro debate that is going on in our community. 

G Pen Elite vs Pro - Overview

The G Pen Elite and G Pen Pro are not very different from each considering they are both a mid-tier dry herb vaporizer. They have been on the market for some time, and have been widely loved and accepted by everyone. Even their price falls in the same range as the Elite being slightly more expensive than the other one, but it still isn't a very huge difference to become a breaking ground.

We will be reviewing their vapour quality, discreetness, body material battery, ease of use, portability, temperature, and other features to give you an in-depth view of both these small, stealthy vapes. 

Are you ready to indulge in the G Pen Elite vs Pro discussion?

Vapour Quality - The most important feature

Let's face it; nothing else matters more than the vapour quality of any vaporizer. You want that taste, authentic flavours, and the terpenes dancing on your tongue, lingering long after you have taken the last puff. It's important to address the little things that affect the quality of your vapour, right from the bowl size, chamber build, and the heating process. 

Let's see the same in these two equipments. 

G Pen Elite is designed with a large chamber capacity that allows you to fill it with your precious herb and toke it. The bowl can hold around 0.75 grams of dry material, which makes it even better when you're vaping with your homies or at a party. My most favourite part is the 360-degree heating system that ensures your herbs are cherried from all ends, leaving nothing to be wasted. This was all about heating, let's move on to the flavour.

The Grenco Science Elite Pen uses a ceramic chamber that allows the real flavour of the dry herbs to flourish through, enhancing your vaping sessions. You can additionally heat your herbs at any temperature ranging from 93°C – 220°C, perfect for those who want a slow, maximum efficiency, or the quick-vaper team. 

On the cons side, the vapour pathway is not very long, so you might experience heated vapour at high temperature. You might wanna tread carefully there. Moreover, for those who like to vape at high temperatures, remember that your flavours will likely degrade over time with this unit. 

G Pen Pro is also a very discreet, small vaporizer that brings about efficiency and not to mention, the invigorating flavour of the herbs. The chamber size is significantly smaller than the G Pen Elite with only 0.2 grams capacity. But it also makes a good purchase for the lone toker who wants nothing but the company of the clouds of vapour. Don't let its tiny size fool you; it provides a performance that is par average, and given the size and price, it works pretty well.

For all the quick-vapers, the G Pen Pro is known to take just 30 seconds to heat up, so if you're running late and need a quick sesh, you know where to go. 

The same issue that was evident with the G Pen Elite also persists with the pro version which makes us the vapour and the mouthpiece very heated at higher temperatures. You can get a silicone cover to efficiently fight the issue.

Portability - G Pen Elite Vs Pro

When it comes to portability, G Pen Pro and G Pen Elite fair pretty well and perfectly. Since they are both designed to be discreet, small, and extremely travel-friendly, they can easily fit into your pocket, purse, or bag. If you have the means to charge it, you can easily carry them both anywhere from your trekking adventures to the outdoor smoking sesh with your gang. 

Discreetness

Naturally, if a vape is easily portable, it is safe to say that it will fair well with being discreet. Many people, who are still not used to the popularity of vapes, are offended by the usage of it. If you're trying to hide from your parents, or just like to be as quiet as possible with your vaping session, the G Pen Pro and Elite both stand true to their discrete nature. Their black body is easy to blend with any background, making them averse to being stand out.

The only slight difference that you may find is that the Pro is a little thinner than the Elite, but not significant enough to change the game. The best part; they both easily fit into the palm on your hand. 

Material Quality - G Pen Elite vs Pro

When it comes to the look of the two vaporizers, they definitely stand out from the average look with their sleek body, glossy finish, and not to mention the smart black colour. 

The body of the vaporizer pen is made out of durable plastic, though the Pro also entails some percentage of aluminium in the body. If you're not very keen to go for the all-plastic bod, the G Pen Pro might be better for you. Moreover, the glossy finish will make the finger marks and other dirt more evident, so keep giving it a good wipe once in a while to keep the appearance dazzling.

The G Pen Elite features a blue LED display that features the exact temperature and the battery life, whereas it also entails temperature control at the side of the body. On the other hand, G Pen Pro has preset temperatures which are indicated by the four colour-changing lights that are present below the power button.

Battery & Charging

With portable devices, there is always the issue of battery life and efficient charging. None of us likes to move away only to experience a dead battery and unproductive working of the unit. I feel this is a huge decision-making point for many vapers since it ultimately affects how effortlessly you can vape. 

The G Pen Pro offers a micro-USB cable for the charge which is completed within 2 to 3 hours. With every full charge, you get around 40 minutes, which can vary depending on how it is being used. 

The G Pen Elite fairs better than the pro version when it comes to the battery and charging capabilities. 

The Elite features a lithium-ion battery which takes about 3 hours to get charged, lasting for 6-12 sessions, depending on the temperature and use. 

The best feature of the Elite battery is that it allows for pass-through charging which allows you to use the device even when it is charging. However, we recommend waiting until the vape is at least 20% charged before using it this way. 

Temperature Control

Continuing with the G Pen Elite vs Pro debate, let's now look at their temperature control.

Starting with G Pen Pro, it is perfect for those who don't want to get into the hassle of numbers. It offers you colours depicting the intensity of the heat that is blowing on your herbs. Red is the lowest heat, green is the medium heat, and the blue is the highest temperature which ranges from 190°C-220°C. The LED colour light will allow you to know the current intensity of the heat.

On the other hand, G Pen Elite offers more precise temperature control with its LED display that features the exact temperature. The two buttons on the side of the vape allow you to play around with the degrees which range from 93°C - 220°C; ideal for all kinds of vapers alike. 

I love the G Pen Elite temperature system!

Ease of Use - G Pen Elite vs Pro

When it comes to the user interface, both of the vaporizers perform extremely well. There are no complicated jargon or features that would get anyone confused. You don't have to do anything away from the ordinary steps which involve loading the dry material, and attaching the mouthpiece. 

The G Pen Elite is fairly simple to switch on. Just press the front button five times until you can see the screen loaded. If you want to change the temperature reading to Celsius, press the up arrow and front button at the same time. To change it to Fahrenheit, press the down arrow and front button at the same time. To start heating it, just press the power button for a slight moment.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Ending our G Pen Elite vs Pro article with cleaning and maintenance. 

Let's face it, cleaning and maintenance are very important to enhance the life of your precious little equipment. On the bright side, both these vapes are very easy to clean and come equipped with a cleaning brush. All you have to do is regularly clean out the herb chamber with the brush, ensuring you're not allowing any debris or resin to build up. 

This brings us to the end of our G Pen Elite vs Pro Article. Hope this made things clear and you have finally made a decision about which one you would like to add to your collection. If you need any more information or help, feel free to comment below.
