Line up a Penjamin 2G next to a Penjamin 0.5G and they look like two markers from the same pack: silver barrel, colored clip cap, the flavor printed along the side. Inside, they are different pens for different people. This guide compares Penjamin 2G vs 0.5G on the things that actually matter when you are choosing.
The short answer
- Pick the 2G if you want the most in one device and the lowest price per gram: 2 grams of liquid diamonds for $18.
- Pick the 0.5G if flavor comes first: half a gram of solventless live rosin for $25, or $15 in the new NPL Edition.

Capacity: four times the fill
The 2G blister card says it plainly: actually 2Gs, 0.7 oz across a 5 count card. That is four times the fill of a 0.5G pen, so it lasts longer and costs much less per gram. If you hate running out mid-week, the 2G is the obvious pick. Browse all Penjamin 2G liquid diamonds flavors.
Extract: liquid diamonds vs live rosin
Liquid diamonds is the extract name printed on the 2G pack. Live rosin is pressed from fresh-frozen material with heat and pressure, with no solvents, and is known for tasting close to the plant it came from. If you are the kind of person who reads the flavor names first, start with the 0.5G live rosin line, and read What Is Single-Source Live Rosin? for the full explanation.
Flavor overlap
Several flavors exist in both sizes, which makes the choice easy once you know what you like:
The 2G line adds White Truffle and Grape Jam. The 0.5G side adds the entire NPL Edition, 32 flavors you will not find in the 2G.
Price per gram
A single 2G at $18 works out to $9 a gram. A single 0.5G at $25 is $50 a gram, and an NPL Edition pen at $15 is $30 a gram. In bulk the gap stays: the 2G drops to $6 a pen at 1,000, while 1,000 0.5G pens are $5.40 each. Every ladder is on Penjamin Wholesale.
