Zenco Uno

Yes. The manufacturer explicitly states that the device is suitable for both. The chamber should be cleaned when changing materials because concentrate residue may otherwise affect the flavour of the next herb session.

Yes, the Uno is 510-compatible. This is the most common cartridge standard, so you are not limited to original accessories.

Zenco states that the glass components are dishwasher-safe. Electronic components and the battery must, of course, not be placed in the dishwasher — this applies exclusively to the removable glass components.

The Zenco Uno has four heat settings: 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.5 V and 4.0 V. The stated values are voltages, not temperatures — the manufacturer does not specify a number of degrees. In practical terms, this means lower settings for flavour and higher settings for visible vapour.

Zenco does not state how long the Uno takes to heat up: the manufacturer describes the heat as instant but does not specify a number of seconds. There is therefore no reliable figure available, and we have deliberately chosen not to estimate one here.

The Uno differs from the Zenco Flow in its form factor and controls; the basic principle is the same for both because they come from the same range. A direct comparison is particularly worthwhile based on the current price because both models are available from retailers at the same time.

The Uno is distributed through specialist retailers such as The Lion Labs, among others. The price table on this page shows which shops currently have it in stock and at what price.

The Uno is well suited to beginners because its automatic filling mechanism and dishwasher-safe glass components remove two common obstacles: filling and cleaning. Its dual-use capability also makes the device more versatile than a dedicated entry-level model would be.
