Shenzhen vaporizer maker known for halogen-heated Angus portables and separate induction heaters. Its catalogue includes Angus Enhanced, Scarlet and the YLL IH induction heaters.
Our Take on YLLVAPE
Average score across these models: 7.7/10
YLLVAPE makes the only halogen ball vape we have tested, and the flavor is the reason to buy it. The Angus Enhanced scores 7.7 overall and 8.5 for vapor quality in our review, held back by a fiddly one-button interface (6.8 for ease of use) and 268 g of heft. Buy it for rich convection flavor and a full glass kit for $159, and budget for two 18650 cells.
- Clean, terpene-forward halogen convection (8.5/10 vapor quality in our review)
- Full glass kit in the box: three stems, a side bubbler and a water pipe adapter
- Replaceable batteries on Angus Enhanced
- Adjustable airflow on Angus Enhanced
- Separate induction-heater range
- Angus Enhanced uses timed sessions rather than on-demand heating
- No batteries in the box; you need two high-drain 18650 cells
- One button, no screen and a real learning curve
- 268 g is heavy for a portable
- About 55 seconds to heat, so not built for quick single hits

About YLLVAPE
YLLVAPE says it was established in 2019 and lists its contact location as Shenzhen, China. Its range includes halogen-heated cannabis vaporizers and separate induction heaters for compatible externally heated vapes. The current store lists Angus Enhanced and Scarlet, which it describes as its newest portable, as well as YLL IH models and accessories. Scarlet is a halogen portable with a 100 W bulb, temperature control across 150-220°C (302-428°F) and one replaceable 21700 cell. The YLL IH 2.0 ($69) and IH 3.0 ($119, or $139 in stabilized wood) are induction heaters for DynaVap-style vapes that you would otherwise heat with a torch; the IH 2.0 does not fit the HyperDyn, and the IH 3.0 runs on two 21700 cells. We have not reviewed Scarlet or the IH heaters.
The Angus Enhanced is the Angus that YLLVAPE sells today, and the store no longer lists the original Angus. It pairs a 100 W halogen bulb with ruby balls that store heat, ships with three glass stems of different lengths and swaps its two 18650 cells from the sides. YLLVAPE has since revised the insulation and now sells it as the Angus Enhanced (SS insulation), with stainless steel insulation around the heater, so if you buy secondhand, ask which version you are getting.
In our testing the payoff is flavor: clean, terpene-forward convection that stays even through the bowl across five presets from 180-220°C (356-428°F), with a hold-for-boost of 10°C more. The cost is patience. It takes about 55 seconds to heat, runs five-minute sessions and needs practice with one button and five lights.
