Features

Portable Design

At 89 grams, the New PAX Mini dry herb vaporizer is ultra-portable and lighter than before. This device fits in your pocket, fits in your hand, and fits your lifestyle. The compact design makes it perfect for on-the-go sessions without sacrificing performance.

Easy and Faster Charging

The New PAX Mini uses the PAX Magnetic Charger. Attach the charger to the back of the device and it stays securely connected. This charging system is dramatically faster than older models—under 90 minutes vs 4 hours on the original. Check your battery anytime by lightly shaking the device. The light petals and haptic feedback show you exactly how much power you have left.

More Oven Space

The new oven holds two different session sizes: load a half-pack (0.25g) for a quick solo session, or load a full pack (0.5g) when you want to vape longer. The Half-lid is for smaller amounts, while the standard lid is for larger amounts. This flexibility makes the New PAX Mini perfect for both micro-dosing and extended sessions.

Four Heat Modes

The New PAX Mini gives you four temperature settings:

• Purple Mode: Minimal vapor. Stays discreet.
• Green Mode: Extended sessions. Uses less material.
• Yellow Mode: Better flavor and smooth vapor.
• Red Mode: Provides the most vapor with dense clouds.

All modes vaporize your material without combustion for better flavor.

Simple to Clean

Cleaning the New PAX Mini is straightforward. No tiny pieces to lose. The streamlined design makes maintenance easy. Remove the screen, wipe the chamber, and you’re done. Every session tastes fresh because cleaning is simple and quick.

New Technology

The New PAX Mini uses Lipsense technology to automatically boost heat when you draw. This intelligent system delivers more vapor per puff (2.6mg TPM per puff). Hits feel smoother and sessions feel more satisfying without any manual adjustment needed.

Real-World Performance

Battery Life

Expect 5-7 sessions per charge with moderate use (Yellow mode, 10-minute sessions). Heavy users on Red mode will get closer to 5 sessions. Light users on Green or Purple mode can stretch to 7-8 sessions. The battery indicator uses four petals—shake the device anytime to check your charge level.

Vapor Quality

The New PAX Mini delivers impressive vapor quality for a conduction vaporizer in this price range. Purple mode (356°F) produces minimal visible vapor but preserves terpene flavors beautifully—ideal for daytime discreet use. Yellow mode (392°F) offers the best overall experience with satisfying clouds and good flavor retention for 6-8 draws. Red mode (419°F) produces thick, visible vapor but flavor drops off after 3-4 draws as the oven fully extracts your material.

Session Duration

With a full 0.5g bowl, expect 10-15 quality draws before the device auto-shuts off after one minute of inactivity. The half-pack lid (0.25g) delivers 6-8 draws—perfect for micro-dosing or trying new strains without waste. The Lipsense technology ensures consistent vapor production throughout the session.

Best Use Cases

The New PAX Mini excels at solo sessions between 0.25-0.5g. The half-pack lid is a game-changer for micro-dosers or anyone who wants precise dosing control. The 22-second heat-up time makes quick sessions possible, while the four temperature modes let you dial in your preferred experience. For the price point ($109), the performance-to-value ratio is unmatched in the PAX lineup.

New PAX Mini Expert Review

The New PAX Mini is a compact vaporizer weighing under 90 grams. Also known as the PAX Mini 2, this updated model maintains the same sleek exterior while delivering meaningful improvements that enhance the vaping experience.

Key Improvements in the New PAX Mini

The most significant upgrade is the larger bowl capacity, now holding 0.5 grams (0.25 grams with the included Half-lid). The New PAX Mini features four temperature settings: 356°F (180°C), 374°F (190°C), 392°F (200°C), and 419°F (215°C).

This device has intelligent heating that gradually adjusts during sessions. The New PAX Mini introduces new haptic feedback providing tactile confirmation of device status, and the charging system has been completely redesigned with a new cable that charges in under 90 minutes—dramatically faster than the original model’s four-hour charge time.

Design & Build Quality

The New PAX Mini maintains the brand’s minimalist aesthetic with two interchangeable mouthpiece options: a raised design and a flat mouthpiece. The dual-sided steam path design is particularly clever, allowing users to flip the device when one side becomes dirty, maintaining cleanliness without constant cleaning. The removable grids and accessible internal components of the New PAX Mini make maintenance straightforward and hassle-free.

Performance & Vapor Quality

Testing the New PAX Mini with a half-bowl (0.25 grams) gave excellent results across all temperature settings. At 180°C, the device produces discreet vapor ideal for public use while maintaining good flavor. At 190°C, vapor output increases noticeably. The 200°C setting provides the optimal balance of flavor and vapor production, with visible, satisfying clouds. At 215°C, you get maximum vapor density.

The draw resistance is pleasantly loose with a half-bowl, allowing for comfortable, extended pulls. Sessions with the New PAX Mini’s reduced bowl yielded ten quality puffs. Users can perform 5-7 sessions per charge depending on temperature settings and session length—sufficient for daily use.

Temperature Control & Battery Performance

An auto-pause function engages after one minute of inactivity, automatically shutting down after 30 seconds if unused. The New PAX Mini supports approximately 5-7 sessions per charge, representing a trade-off between the original’s extended battery life and faster recharging.

Overall Assessment

The New PAX Mini successfully bridges the gap between portability and functionality. It’s remarkably discreet, performs reliably without requiring extensive maintenance, and offers flexibility for both quick, subtle sessions and more substantial usage. The intelligent heating system and improved charging represent genuine quality-of-life improvements in the New PAX Mini design. Whether for micro-dosing or full sessions, the New PAX Mini adapts to various preferences while maintaining the PAX brand’s reputation for quality and user-friendly operation.

Value Verdict: At $109, the New PAX Mini offers exceptional value. You’re getting PAX’s premium build quality, their latest Lipsense technology, four heat modes, and a versatile dual-capacity oven for less than competitors charge for lesser vaporizers. Highly recommended for budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on quality.
