Vaporizers
by PAX
We'll only email you about this product — no marketing.
The PAX Mini is a pocket-sized dry herb vaporizer that heats your bud to the right temperature in just 22 seconds flat. Built by PAX Labs — the same team behind some of the most recognisable portable vaporizers on the market — the Mini strips everything back to what actually matters: load it, click it, inhale. No apps, no temperature menus, no fiddling. It fits in the palm of your hand, weighs next to nothing, and delivers clean, flavourful vapour from a surprisingly capable little oven.
The PAX Mini comes in two colourways — Silver and Onyx — each available in both standard and Limited Edition runs. The Limited Edition versions are identical in specs and performance; the difference is purely cosmetic, with a slightly different finish. Silver catches the light and shows fingerprints more readily. Onyx is more discreet and hides daily wear better. Pick whichever suits your style — the internals are the same across all four variants.
| Variant | SKU | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | VS0358 | Standard run, brushed metallic finish |
| Onyx | VS0359 | Standard run, matte dark finish |
| Limited Edition Silver | VS0371 | Same specs, limited colourway |
| Limited Edition Onyx | VS0372 | Same specs, limited colourway |
PAX doesn't skimp on the unboxing. Everything you need to start vaping straight out of the box is included — no extra purchases required on day one.

We've sold a lot of portable vaporizers over the years — from budget units that taste like hot plastic after three sessions, to overengineered devices with Bluetooth apps and 47 temperature settings that nobody actually uses. The PAX Mini sits in a sweet spot that most competitors miss entirely: it does one thing, and it does it properly.
The single-button interface sounds like a limitation until you actually use it. Click once, wait 22 seconds for the light to shift from purple to green, and draw. That's it. No scrolling through temperature presets, no guessing which setting pairs with which strain. PAX tuned the oven temperature to hit the sweet spot for dry herb, and honestly, for most people, that's all you need. The vapour comes through smooth, the flavour is clean on the first few draws, and you get a solid session from a 0.25g pack.
The honest limitation? That 0.25g oven is sized for solo sessions. If you're regularly sharing with two or three mates, you'll be reloading. For group use, the PAX Plus with its larger 0.5g oven and half-pack lid is the better shout. But for personal use — commutes, walks, a quick session before dinner — the Mini is the one we'd grab off the shelf. It's lighter, simpler, and the battery lasts over 2 hours of actual use, which translates to roughly 8-10 sessions before you need a charge.
Build quality is noticeably solid for its size. The anodised aluminium shell has a satisfying weight to it — not heavy, but not the hollow-feeling plastic you get from cheaper portables. The magnetic oven lid clicks into place with a reassuring snap. Small detail, but it matters when you're loading on the go and don't want herb spilling into your jacket pocket.
This is the question we get asked most. Both devices share the same design DNA, but they serve different sessions.
| Feature | PAX Mini | PAX Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Oven capacity | 0.25g | 0.5g (full) / 0.25g (half-pack lid) |
| Temperature settings | 1 (optimised preset) | 4 adjustable presets |
| Heat-up time | 22 seconds | 22 seconds |
| Battery life | 2+ hours | 2+ hours |
| Concentrate compatible | No | Yes (with insert) |
| Best for | Solo sessions, simplicity, portability | Shared sessions, temperature control, versatility |
If you want temperature control and the option to switch between dry herb and concentrates, the PAX Plus is the move. If you want the simplest possible vaping experience with zero learning curve, the PAX Mini is the better pick. We'd recommend the Mini to anyone buying their first proper vaporizer — it removes every barrier between you and a good session.
Loading and using the PAX Mini takes under a minute from start to finish. Here's the process, step by step.
Keeping the PAX Mini clean is critical for flavour and airflow. Residue builds up in the vapour path after every few sessions, and a gunked-up oven means you're tasting yesterday's session instead of today's fresh pack. The good news: PAX includes a maintenance kit in the box, and the whole cleaning process takes about 5 minutes.
Once the device has cooled completely, remove the mouthpiece and oven lid. Use the included pipe cleaners dampened with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher — not included) to run through the vapour path. Wipe the oven chamber with a cotton bud. Let everything air-dry for a couple of minutes before reassembling. We'd recommend doing this every 4-5 sessions to keep the flavour crisp and the draw resistance low. Skip cleaning for too long and you'll notice the draw gets tight and the taste goes stale — that's resin buildup choking the airpath.
We've been stocking PAX devices since they first hit the European market, and the Mini is the one that gets the most repeat praise from customers who come back into the shop. The most common feedback? "I didn't think something this small could taste this good." And they're right — the vapour quality punches well above what you'd expect from a single-temperature, pocket-sized unit.
The one thing we always tell people: grind quality matters more than anything else with this device. A cheap grinder that produces uneven chunks will give you uneven extraction — wispy draws followed by harsh ones. Invest in a proper grinder with sharp teeth and you'll get the most out of every 0.25g pack. The SLX grinder is our go-to recommendation for PAX users — the non-stick coating means your ground herb falls right out instead of clogging the teeth.

Complete your setup: A fine, even grind makes all the difference with conduction vaporizers like the PAX Mini. Pair it with the SLX Grinder for a non-stick ceramic coating that keeps your herb fluffy and free-flowing. And if you want to keep your sessions fresh on the go, a smell-proof carry case will keep things discreet in your bag or pocket.
Over 2 hours of active use, which works out to roughly 8-10 sessions depending on draw length and frequency. It charges via USB-C, so any standard cable will work — no proprietary charger to lose.
No. The PAX Mini is designed for dry herb only. If you want concentrate compatibility, you'll need the PAX Plus, which comes with a concentrate insert for the oven.
The oven holds approximately 0.25g of finely ground herb. That's a solid solo session. For longer or shared sessions, you'll need to reload — or consider the PAX Plus with its 0.5g full oven.
No. The PAX Mini uses a single optimised temperature preset — that's by design. PAX tuned it to hit the sweet spot for dry herb flavour and vapour production. If you want four temperature presets, the PAX Plus gives you that control.
Every 4-5 sessions for the best flavour and airflow. Use the included maintenance kit with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) to clean the vapour path and oven. Takes about 5 minutes. Neglect it and you'll notice the draw tightening and the taste going stale.
It's the best entry-level portable vaporizer we stock. One button, one temperature, 22-second heat-up. There's genuinely nothing to get wrong. Load it, click it, wait for green, inhale. If you've never used a vaporizer before, start here.
Both function identically. The flat mouthpiece sits flush with the device, making it more pocket-friendly. The raised mouthpiece protrudes slightly and gives a more natural, comfortable draw. Most people try both and settle on one within a day.
Yes, but less than combustion. Vapour dissipates faster than smoke and doesn't cling to fabrics the same way. Outdoors, the smell fades within minutes. Indoors, it's noticeable during use but doesn't linger like a joint would.
