XVape Vista Mini 2 Review
Posted by TAYLOR CHURCHILL
There is a new wave of innovative concentrate vapes that combine the efficient cooling of a vaporizer with the filtration and cooling of a full bubbler. These devices show how electronic heating systems have not only been accepted by the vape industry but are now seen as a method equal or even superior to combustion.
The XVape Vista Mini 2 is the latest vaporizer to follow this exciting trend. It is an exciting, cutting edge concentrate vape that is built from the ground up to work with your concentrate of choice. It features a range of interesting features that are designed to ensure that your vape experience is the best it can be.
Best of all, the Vista Mini 2 is far more affordable than other vaporizers of this type, sparing vapers the premium price tag of devices like the puffco peak.
XVape Vista Mini 2
The Xvape Vista Mini 2 dab rig offers a mind-boggling array of features found only in vaporizers priced hundreds of dollars more. Why pay more for over-priced concentrate vaporizers when XVape offers a higher quality, more durable, and better-tasting vaporizer from top to bottom!
How Does The X Vape Mini Vista 2 Work?
1. Heating System
The XVape Vista Mini uses a revolutionary AIO crystal quartz atomizer. Quartz is a material that is frequently used in concentrate vape production due to its incredible conductive ability as well as its non-reactive nature. So you can expect a powerful and efficient heating experience with zero impact on your concentrate's authentic flavor.
This heating system is also equipped with short circuit protection, which ensures that your device, your material, and yourself are all protected.
2. Loading The XVape Mini Vista 2
The Mini Vista 2's chamber is located on top of the device. This makes it easy to load before, or during a session. As with any concentrate vape, it’s best if you use a dab tool to load your material. The chamber is large, with enough room for up to .5g of concentrate, however, we put in a little less than this to ensure even and consistent vaporization.
3. Turing on The XVape Mini Vista 2
As an electronic device, the Mini Vista 2 was easy to activate. Simply press the power button on the base of the device three times in rapid succession to turn it on or off. When it activates, the LED light will illuminate to indicate its battery level.
4. Temperature settings
The X Vape Mini Vista has four heat settings. These can be cycled through by tapping the power button quickly twice. Each setting is denoted by a different LED color: White: 536 F, Green: 608 F, Blue: 662 F, and Red: 752 F. To begin a heating cycle, press the power button once, and to end a cycle press it again.
Build Quality
The X Vape Mini Vista 2 is a solid vaporizer with a decent amount of quality put into its construction. It is a tall device, with a relatively small footprint. Don't worry, we found that its weight distribution is more than enough to prevent it from tipping over during use.
The glass bubbler found on the top of the device is the most striking element of its design. This is made out of high-quality borosilicate glass. This means that it is resistant to thermal shock and stress fractures. However, glass is glass, and it won't stand up to a significant drop.
The crystal quartz chamber makes use of an atomizer heating system, which can be replaced as it wears out. This is a little more of a pain than a permanent heating system, but it also means that you can ensure your vape is operating at full efficacy by simply replacing the atomizer.
What makes the X Vape Mini Vista 2 Stand Out?
Something that will immediately stand out to anyone unfamiliar with this type of vaporizer is the X Vape Mini Vista 2's water filtration system. This allowed us to enjoy cool, smooth, and filtered hits from a vaporizer without having to worry about external peripherals like water tools.
The clever design of the Mini 2 ensures that the electronic components are fully insulated away from the water, so you can enjoy full sessions safe in the knowledge that your heating system won't be at any risk of damage. The Xvape Vista 2 is packed with handy, modern features. These include a striking and useful LED illumination system, the option for wireless charging, haptic alerts, and the ever-useful auto-shut off timer.
What are the Most Important Updates About X Vape Mini Vista 2
The Mini Vista 2 keeps on many of the best features of its predecessor, including haptic feedback. However, it does make some updates to its heating system. Rather than a ceramic atomizer, it has been upgraded to quartz. This gave it an overall faster and more consistent heating cycle. Its battery life has been further refined, allowing us to enjoy up to thirty dabs on a single charge. When it does run out, it can easily be recharged either by USB or via the wireless charging peripheral that can be purchased separately.
What's In The Box - Kits & Accessories
The Mini Vista 2 comes in one standard kit that contains everything you need. The first thing you'll notice when you open up the kit is the Vista 2's base and bubbler. These can easily be clipped together and stored that way.
The rest of the kit contains spare and replacement parts for the O-rings, and quartz atomizers, and also some handy cleaning supplies. Special mention should be made of the glass carb cap, a feature that will allow users to adjust the power and intensity of their hits.
How's The X Vape Mini Vista 2 Vapor Quality?
The X Vape Mini Vista 2 seems to have a talent for bringing out the authentic flavor of your dry herb. When it heats the concentrate we found the flavor crisp and authentic, even on the highest settings. Of course, this does come at the cost of it not being capable of producing massive, powerful hits. For some people, this won't be the biggest deal, but if you're all about lung-busting clouds and aren't too fussed about the taste, then you may be let down a little bit.

Tips for Getting Best Vapor Quality With X Vape Mini Vista 2
Unusually, the Mini Vista 2 works best when you cold load it. This means that you should carefully load up the chamber with the dab tool before starting a heat cycle. This will be familiar to dab pen users but will seem a bit backwards to combustion fans. Trust us, it will lead to denser, more flavorful results.
Is The X Vape Mini Vista 2 Easy To Clean?
The X Vape Mini Vista 2 is notably easy to clean for this type of device. Some, like the Puffco Peak, have integrated their glass elements into their design where maintenance can be a little unwieldy. The Vista 2 however is a breeze to clean thanks to the fact that the glass components easily lift away from the base. From there, you can unscrew the coil from the base and clean it out with a cotton swab and q-tip.
Be careful to keep all cleaning solutions and water away from the base as the electronics can be easily damaged by them.

Is The X Vape Mini Vista 2 Worth It?
This type of electronic dab rig is the newest trend sweeping the vape market. Dr Dabber and Puffco have both already set the bar high with these types of devices. However, they also set the bar high for the price. The X Vape Mini Vista 2 allows users to enjoy all the quality and power of this type of dabbing vaporizer while maintaining a much lower cost of admission. You can expect excellent filtration, amazing aesthetics, and a range of high-quality features all without the premium price tag.
Who Should Buy X Vape Mini Vista 2
If you want to bring your enjoyment of dabbing concentrates up to the next level, but don't want to invest in anything as pricey as a premium device, then the X Vape Mini Vista is ideal for you. For the majority of users, a device that offers a solid vape experience at a reasonable price is more than sufficient. This will allow you to enjoy dabbing concentrates quickly, easily, and with some truly authentic flavor.
Who Should Not Buy X Vape Mini Vista 2
While low in price, the X Vape Mini Vista 2 is still a big price for someone who isn’t sure if they like concentrates at all. It features no dual-use functionality so if you find you prefer dry herb, then there's not much it can do for you.
On top of this, if you are a truly discerning concentrate fan, then you might want to aim a little higher and invest a little more in a premium vaporizer. The Vista 2 is a great workhorse, but it struggles to reach the level of something like the Puffco Peak Pro.
Conclusion - Overall Rating
The X Vape Mini Vista is a wonderful vaporizer that offers an incredible level of concentrate vaping and filtration. It’s great to see devices like this open up the e-rig market to more and more people while also keeping the quality floor high.
We would do well to see more of these devices hit the scene over time. While not quite a fully portable device, the internal power supply of the X Vape Mini Vista 2 makes it simple and engaging for nearly anyone to use.
