New Heat Modes Explained
The most important upgrade is the addition of four intelligent heat modes. Instead of one automatic setting, the new Pax Mini lets you choose how discreet or powerful your session feels.
- Petal 1 (Purple): Minimal vapor for discreet sessions.
- Petal 2 (Green): Extends sessions and conserves material.
- Petal 3 (Yellow): Enhances flavor with smooth vapor.
- Petal 4 (Red): Maximizes vapor and cloud density.
Q: Can I switch modes easily?
A: Yes — heat modes cycle with simple button presses.
Section recap: Four heat modes let you “sip it or rip it” without combustion.
Bigger Oven & Smarter Packing
The larger oven supports two pack sizes:
- Half Pack (~0.25g): Use the half lid for efficient micro-sessions.
- Full Pack (~0.5g): Use the full lid for longer sessions.
This improves extraction consistency and makes the Pax Mini far more adaptable.
Section recap: Dual pack sizes make the new Pax Mini more flexible for different users.
