(Read more)PAX 2 Portable Herbal Vaporizer by PAX Labs
Among herbal vaporizers, PAX Labs is one of the most widely recognized and respected names. While they were not the first to create the herbal vaporizer, PAX was among the pioneers who perfected the technology, continuously innovating and advancing the industry. The PAX 2 embodies everything PAX Labs has learned, while still offering a solid foundation for newer innovations in the herbal vaporizer market.
Although the PAX 3 now holds the position as PAX's flagship device, the PAX 2 remains a highly capable vaporizer, still outperforming many recent competitors. The influence of the PAX 2 can be seen in the herbal vaporizer market, with the PAX 3 drawing significant inspiration from it, especially in how it transformed the perception of portable vaporizers.

Though not the newest model, the PAX 2's impressive battery life, sleek design, and smart heating system still provide an excellent vaping experience. These features have allowed the PAX 2 to remain relevant in the market, proving itself to be an outstanding herbal vaporizer.
While the PAX 2 may not be the latest model in PAX's lineup, it continues to impress and could easily become your go-to herbal vaporizer. Its compact, discreet design is ideal for portability, and its performance competes with larger desktop vaporizers. Additionally, it features a motion-sensing function that conserves battery and herb when not in use.
Design and Features
At first glance, the PAX 2's simple, compact design might not stand out, but this understated look is deliberate. The sleek construction and small size—98mm x 30mm x 20mm—make it ideal for discreet daily use. While vape pens are smaller, they lack the functionality offered by the PAX 2, which remains a comfortable size for portability.
The PAX 2 comes in various colors, including brushed platinum, brushed charcoal, and silver, each with a matte finish.
Additionally, the PAX 2 includes two interactive features: party mode and built-in games. These fun elements make the device more engaging and serve as a great conversation starter.
Heating System
Internally, the PAX 2 features an expanded heating chamber, 91% the size of the original PAX. This allows users to load more material and keep the device running longer. The design of the chamber ensures the herb heats evenly, allowing users to pack approximately 0.3-0.4 grams of dry herb, depending on the grind quality from a herbal grinder.
Temperature Settings
The PAX 2 offers four temperature settings: 360, 380, 400, and 420 degrees Fahrenheit. These preset options are optimized to provide the best balance of flavor, vapor production, and battery efficiency. Combined with a unique heating algorithm, the PAX 2 dynamically adjusts the temperature based on how the user operates the device.
Motion Sensing & Lip Sensing
As mentioned earlier, the PAX 2 incorporates both motion and lip sensing technologies. These features help preserve battery life and conserve material by automatically entering standby mode when the device isn't in use or not positioned correctly.
Battery & Charger
The PAX 2 uses a magnetic USB dock for charging, making it easy to charge the device almost anywhere. The 2600mAh battery provides 30% more usage and lasts about 90 minutes per charge. The entire battery charges in approximately 100 minutes, so you can easily recharge throughout the day.
