XVape Vista Mini 2 Design & Build
The Vista Mini2 has a unique tapered design. One of the best things about the device is an interchangeable mouthpiece that allows users to attach the glass attachment they want on top of a 14mm stem.
The device stands at 5.74 inches tall and 1.89″ wide at the base. It weighs only 271.5 grams but doesn’t feel cheap at all. The overall construction of the device is sturdy, and you can possibly replace everything, including the glass parts. The device’s mouthpiece wiggles a bit but not when you use the plastic buckle, which holds it hard.
The glass parts are made of borosilicate, which is durable. In my humble opinion, the glass parts won’t hold up to a significant drop, but fortunately, the parts are replaceable and available at the Haze Smoke Shop. Moreover, the base is sturdy and balanced and features a charging port and a single button interface. It also lights up with color LEDs which play a significant role in the user interface. Moreover, a protective silicon insert below the glass section protects the device from water damage. glass
The device takes the replaceable coils, which use the crystal quartz atomizer. Additionally, it comes with a stove-top style coil below the quartz dish that chases the flavor. Overall, they produce smooth clouds and have excellent longevity.

Performance
I have noticed that it works best for the Vista mini two to pre-load the dab into the chamber rather than dabbing it after it heats up. Technically, you could do both, but pre-loading makes the cloud taste greater than ever.
The device heats up in 6 seconds and pumps out the decent clouds. It even produces amazing vapors on the lower settings. However, the vapors become harsh with the highest setting and water filtration, so the device works best with blue, green, and white settings.
The chamber of Mini 2 looks like it could fit half a gram, but nobody usually recommends adding more fraction of material than that. The style of the coil is not responsible for making the strongest clouds, but it sure delivers crispy flavor. Moreover, the entire vapor path of the device is made of glass which ensures a clean flavor even on the hottest setting.
One new update in the latest Mini 2 is the carb cap which has a tight fit. However, there is a way to make the best use out of it as if it is super secure, and it doesn’t allow you to move it freely and stops the airflow, which affects the vapor quality. All you need to do is gently use it to cover the hole while inhaling and tap on it to clean the chamber.
Charging
The Vista Mini 2 has a fantastic battery that will last you around 20-25 sessions, and additionally, it displays the battery life by the light ring around the power button. The Vista Mini 2 doesn’t support pass-through charging, unfortunately. Instead, it has a USB port located on the side of the base, and it takes almost over three hours to charge via USB. One of the most exciting things about the device is the wireless charger. All you need is to leave it on the charger and pick it up when you are ready to vape, which is cool.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning the Vista Mini 2 is a straightforward task. You can take everything apart and rinse it well. The first step in cleaning the Vista Mini 2 is to remove the mouthpiece stem and carb cap. Next, unscrew the coil base anti-clockwise, which will free the glass section from the base. Proceed on to remove the glass and unscrew the coil from the base. Now soak the coil in alcohol, rinse it and dry it off before re-installing.
Cleaning the glass part is comparatively easy. All you need is isopropyl alcohol and clean the glass part. However, you have to make sure not to over-tight it while putting the device back together. This could potentially crack the glass section and will need replacement.
Final Verdict
The Vista Mini 2 is a small flavor machine that is a must-have device for new and experienced vapers. It doesn’t hit as hard as the desktop rig, but overall the flavor is better than what titanium nail offers. In addition, the device is highly portable and comes with a protective carrying case that lets users carry it wherever they want.
Overall, the Vista Mini 2 is on the same level as some expensive devices in terms of performance and aesthetics, but the price is nearly half. So if you are looking for a little rig to enjoy flavorful clouds and doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars, the Vista Mini 2 fits the criteria.
