Temperature Guide

For beginners, start on Low every time:

  • Low (182°C) — Best for your first few draws. The flavor is clear and pronounced, the vapor is gentle on your throat, and the experience is smooth. Ideal for newcomers to vaporizers.
  • High (215°C) — Switch here for your second round or when you want thicker clouds. This setting extracts more thoroughly before your session ends.

Tip: Use Low for 2-3 minutes, then switch to High to finish the bowl completely.

Cleaning and Maintenance

After every session:

1. Let the device cool for 1-2 minutes

2. Tap the oven upside down to empty spent herbs

3. Use the Multi-Tool to scrape any remaining residue

Deep clean every 5-8 sessions:

1. Dip a cotton swab in Isopropyl Alcohol and wipe the oven interior

2. Run a cotton swab through the vapor path

3. Wipe the mouthpiece clean

4. Allow all parts to air-dry completely before next use

Beginner Tips

  • Always start on Low — Increase temperature only after you are comfortable with the device.
  • Medium grind works best — Not as fine as PAX Plus requires, but avoid coarse chunks.
  • Pack firmly but not too tight — Test with a gentle draw; you should feel slight resistance.
  • Clean regularly — The PAX Mini has a small oven. Residue builds up quickly and affects flavor.
  • Charge before you go — The battery is smaller than the PAX Plus. Top up before leaving home.
  • Two settings are enough — The PAX Mini is designed to be simple. Low and High cover everything you need for a great session.
