Pax 2 Vaporizer Review:
My Experience Using It
Written by: Taylor | Updated: March 23rd, 2019
Are you looking for a vaporizer that looks like an iPhone and out shines most of the portables on the market in terms of design and functionality?
The Pax 2 is the answer to your prayers.
The Pax 2, released in August of 2015, makes the original Pax look like an infantile attempt at a portable vaporizer. The Pax 2 boasts 10% less weight and 25% less size than it’s younger brother, among other notable improvements such as improved battery life and a more powerful heater. The Pax 2 also comes with 4 heat settings compared to the Pax 1’s 3.
Design
What’s always made the Pax vaporizer unique is it’s sleek and futuristic design, to the point where slapping an Apple logo on this thing wouldn’t even seem too far fetched. Intelligent construction with a high quality transverse brushed aluminum outer shell is what the Pax 2 brings to the table.
The Pax 2 is 30% smaller than the original Pax vaporizer, measuring in at 4” tall, 0.73” wide, and 0.34” deep. The device weighs a measly 90g compared to the original Pax’s 98g, making it the creme de la creme of portable vaporizers. The heating chamber found within still fits roughly the same amount of herb so there’s no reason to worry that you won’t be able to get the same kind of experience even with the smaller unit.
The Pax 2 also has done away with the mouthpiece that juts out of the device from the original model, making it the mouthpiece flush with the rest of the unit.
This is hands down the most discreet portable vaporizer I have ever had the pleasure of handling, as I am able to very quickly get an extremely satisfying amount of vapor (sometimes I forget how easy it is to overdo it, actually) and then slip this back into my pocket and be on my way.
As far as operation of the device, a single press of the button found underneath the mouthpiece turns the device on. After that, holding the button allows you to cycle between the four available temperature options, the LEDs at the front of the device show you what setting you are currently at. One more button press after this shuts the device off.
Key Features
Vapor Quality
The vapor provided by the Pax 2 tends to lend to a high that is very clean and energizing, or maybe that’s just me getting fired up over the massive clouds this thing can produce. I was blown away by how easily this little thing could throw out massive clouds. On top of that, this feature remained consistent for the entirety of the bowl, there was no diminishing returns as sometimes seen with other vaporizers.
The PAX 2 has four different temperature settings:
- Low (360ºF [182ºC])
- Medium (380ºF [193ºC])
- Medium-High (400ºF [204ºC])
- High (420ºF [216ºC])
My personal favorite temperature setting is the medium setting as I find it produces the nicest tasting vapor.
The Pax 2 boasts lip sensing and draw sensing technology to help keep the temperature consistent. I’m not quite sure how the “lip sensing” technology functions but I’ve definitely seen the draw sensing technology at work to provide a consistent experience. As this is a conduction device, the higher settings tend to result in very hot vapor reaching the mouthpiece but I have yet to achieve combustion with this device, so I am very confident with the Pax 2’s ability to maintain a steady temperature.
The device heats up in a paltry 45 seconds. Which is well worth mentioning as this is pretty damn quick in my opinion compared to most portables.
The vapor itself is smooth which is great for a device that produces so much vapor at a time. Finely ground herb and consistent cleaning is necessary to maintain this smoothness and ease of draw. This device provides only a modest flavor profile from your herbs, but I suppose this is a necessary sacrifice for all of the other positive attributes of this device.
Discreetness
The unassuming design and miniature size of the Pax 2 makes it one of the most discreet vaporizers on the market.
You could easily leave this on your computer desk or on a night stand and have someone mistake it for an external battery pack or just some mysterious electronic device of random use. It’s small size makes cupping it in the palm of your hand extremely simple and it can slip into a pocket or into a discreet pouch of a backpack and easily go undetected.
Battery Life
The 3000 mAh 18650 battery of the Pax 2 provides about 30% more battery life than it’s predecessor, meaning you get approximately an hour and a half of continuous vape time, which was about eight full chambers of herb in my experience. The charge time is about two hours which is about the same as it’s younger brother.
Accessories
The Pax 2 comes with a USB charging cable, magnetic charging dock as well as a maintenance kit to ensure optimal functioning of your device.

Pax Labs are also the manufacturers of the JUUL e-cigarette, another product that changed how people looked at vaping nicotine.
