Introduction
The Yocan Black Celestial 2 represents Yocan's premium tier—the "Black" sub-brand reserved for their flagship devices. Where the Pillar targets budget-conscious users, the Celestial 2 aims higher with a massive 2500mAh battery, wireless charging capability, and the premium Cloud2 ceramic heating chamber.
At $160, the Celestial 2 costs more than entry-level e-rigs but less than premium competitors from Puffco or Dr. Dabber. The question is whether the features justify the premium over Yocan's own budget options. After extensive testing, the answer is yes—for users who value battery life and build quality.

Dimensions
Design and Build
The Celestial 2 carries the premium aesthetic expected from the Yocan Black line. The build quality is noticeably elevated compared to standard Yocan devices, with tighter tolerances and more refined materials.
The device uses a substantial body that houses the large 2500mAh battery. This size means the Celestial 2 is not pocket-portable in the traditional sense—it is designed for home use or bag carry rather than jeans pocket transport.
The integrated glass bubbler sits atop the device, providing water filtration that significantly smooths vapor. The glass quality is excellent, with a secure locking mechanism at the mouthpiece that prevents accidental separation during use.
The overall aesthetic is understated and mature—no garish colors or excessive branding. The Celestial 2 looks like a serious device for serious users.
What's in the Box
The Celestial 2 kit includes everything needed for immediate use:
- Yocan Black Celestial 2 e-rig
- Cloud2 Coil (pre-installed)
- Dab tool
- USB-C charging cable
- 4 Q-tips
- User manual
The inclusion of Q-tips is a thoughtful touch for immediate cleaning needs. Some users may want to purchase the optional TGT coil for variety.
Cloud2 Ceramic Chamber
The Cloud2 chamber is Yocan's premium heating element, featuring 360-degree ceramic construction that heats concentrates evenly from all sides.
Benefits of Cloud2
Even heating: The wraparound ceramic design eliminates hot spots, ensuring concentrates vaporize consistently.
Pure flavor: Ceramic is inert and does not affect concentrate taste. Terpene profiles come through cleanly.
No combustion: The controlled ceramic heating prevents burning, producing true vapor rather than smoke.
Efficient use: Even heating means less concentrate is wasted in the chamber.
TGT Coil Alternative
The Celestial 2 also accepts Yocan's TGT (Target Tech) coils for users who prefer quartz rod heating. The TGT coils heat faster and produce larger clouds, trading some flavor purity for vapor density. Having both options available adds versatility.
Temperature Presets
Four calibrated temperature presets cover the full range of concentrate preferences:
| Profile | Temperature | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 490°F (254°C) | Maximum flavor preservation, live resin |
| 2 | 510°F (265°C) | Balanced flavor and vapor |
| 3 | 530°F (276°C) | Increased vapor, thicker concentrates |
| 4 | 545°F (285°C) | Maximum potency, complete extraction |
Choosing Your Temperature
Low temps (490°F): Best for flavor chasers and premium concentrates like live resin or rosin. Vapor is light but terpene expression is maximized.
Medium temps (510-530°F): The sweet spot for most users. Balanced flavor with satisfying vapor production.
High temps (545°F): Maximum extraction for potency-focused users. Vapor is dense, though some flavor nuance may be lost.
The preset system simplifies operation—cycle through profiles until you find what works best for your concentrates.
Water Filtration
The integrated glass bubbler is the Celestial 2's signature feature for vapor quality:
How It Works
Vapor passes through water before reaching the mouthpiece, providing multiple benefits:
Cooling: Hot vapor temperature drops significantly, reducing throat irritation.
Smoothing: Water removes harshness for more comfortable draws.
Moisture: Slight humidity conditioning makes vapor less drying.
Water Fill Level
Fill the bubbler enough to cover the percolator holes—typically 1-2 inches depending on design. Too little water reduces filtration benefit; too much risks splashback into the mouthpiece.
Room temperature water works well. Some users prefer slightly warm water for even smoother sessions.
Battery and Charging
The 2500mAh battery is the Celestial 2's standout specification:
Impressive Capacity
- Up to 36 sessions per charge
- 2-3 days of use for average consumers
- All-day capability for heavy users
- Significantly more than the 1400mAh Pillar
Dual Charging Options
USB-C wired: The included cable provides reliable charging in approximately 2.5 hours.
Wireless charging: Qi wireless charger compatibility enables cord-free convenience. Simply place on any standard wireless charging pad. Wireless charging may be slightly slower than wired.
Battery Life Tips
- Lower temperatures conserve battery
- Shorter sessions extend charge cycles
- Charge before complete depletion for battery longevity
- Store with partial charge for extended storage
Performance
The Celestial 2 delivers flagship performance appropriate for its premium positioning:
Vapor Quality
The Cloud2 chamber combined with water filtration produces exceptionally smooth vapor. Draws are comfortable even at higher temperatures, with the glass bubbler noticeably cooling vapor before inhalation.
Flavor clarity is excellent at lower temperatures. The ceramic heating preserves terpene profiles without imparting off-tastes. Users of premium concentrates will appreciate how the Celestial 2 showcases their material.
Cloud Production
Vapor production scales appropriately with temperature settings:
- Profile 1 (490°F): Light vapor, maximum flavor
- Profile 2 (510°F): Moderate clouds, balanced
- Profile 3 (530°F): Satisfying density
- Profile 4 (545°F): Thick clouds, maximum output
Heat-Up Time
The Cloud2 chamber reaches temperature quickly—typically 15-20 seconds depending on profile. The device indicates ready status clearly.
Comparison to Competitors
vs. Yocan Pillar
The Pillar costs $40 less ($120 vs $160) but has a 1400mAh battery versus 2500mAh, lacks wireless charging, and uses TGT coils instead of the Cloud2 chamber. The Celestial 2 offers meaningful upgrades for the premium.
vs. Puffco Peak Pro
The Peak Pro costs significantly more ($400+) with advanced features like real-time temperature control and app connectivity. The Celestial 2 offers strong performance at a fraction of the price but lacks the Peak Pro's precision and technology.
vs. Dr. Dabber Boost Evo
The Boost Evo ($154) is similarly priced with comparable features. The Celestial 2 has a larger battery (2500mAh vs 1300mAh) and wireless charging. The Boost Evo has six temperature settings versus four. Both are solid mid-range choices.
Maintenance
Daily Care
- Empty water from bubbler after each session
- Rinse glass with warm water
- Wipe mouthpiece clean
Weekly Cleaning
- Clean glass bubbler with isopropyl alcohol
- Swab the Cloud2 chamber while warm
- Check airpath for residue
Chamber Maintenance
The Cloud2 chamber benefits from cleaning while still warm. Use a Q-tip to remove residue after sessions. For deeper cleaning, soak the removable chamber in isopropyl alcohol.
Who Should Buy the Celestial 2
Battery life prioritizers: The 2500mAh capacity is exceptional. If running out of charge frustrates you, the Celestial 2 eliminates that concern.
Wireless charging fans: The Qi compatibility adds genuine convenience for users with existing wireless charging setups.
Premium seekers: The Yocan Black build quality and Cloud2 chamber deliver a more refined experience than budget e-rigs.
All-day users: Heavy consumers will appreciate the marathon battery life that handles extended sessions.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Budget-first buyers: At $160, the Celestial 2 costs more than the Pillar ($120) or other entry options. If price is primary, consider alternatives.
Pocket portability needs: The larger battery necessitates a larger body. This is a bag or home device, not a pocket device.
Customization enthusiasts: The preset temperatures work well but users wanting precise custom temperature control should look at app-enabled devices.
Final Verdict
The Yocan Black Celestial 2 earns its flagship status. The 2500mAh battery is genuinely best-in-class for this price range, and wireless charging adds convenience that few competitors offer. The Cloud2 ceramic chamber delivers clean, flavorful vapor, and water filtration smooths the experience further.
At $160, the Celestial 2 occupies interesting territory—more expensive than budget e-rigs but far below premium options. For users who want excellent battery life, quality construction, and smooth vapor without paying $300+, the Celestial 2 represents outstanding value.
The Yocan Black sub-brand signals premium intent, and the Celestial 2 delivers on that promise. It is a serious device for users who take their concentrate consumption seriously.
