Arizer Air 2 vs ArGo – A Sibling Showdown

Both the Arizer ArGo and the Arizer Air 2 use a blend of conduction and convection heating, or better known as hybrid heating. Arizer vaporizers have certainly nailed this part on all of their devices and no matter which one you get, you won’t be disappointed.

The Arizer Air 2 has a slightly bigger cannabis capacity, sitting at about 0.2 grams of cannabis, depending on how finely ground your material is. You’ll certainly get bigger draws and slightly longer sessions through the Air 2 with the higher capacity while using its glass aroma tube. The longer stem coupled with the Arizer Air mouthpiece gives the vapor more time to cool down than a shorter stem on the ArGo, leaving you with smoother draws and less throat/lung irritation.

The ArGo, on the other hand, holds about 0.12-0.15 grams in the glass chamber, which is a little bit less in the Arizer ArGo glass tube. The vapor comes out a tad warmer and wispier than the Air 2, due to the shorter stem. Still, the vapor comes out pretty smooth with great flavor behind it!With that in mind, both units product incredibly similar vapor quality at the same temperatures, with the Air 2 squeaking out a slight edge due to the larger capacity and smoother vapor. Also, there’s no Water Pipe Adapter (WPA) available (yet) for the ArGo, though there is one for the Air 2, so if using a water piece is something you do or will do in the future, keep that in mind. For a more robust vapor quality, you can also check out the Zeus Arc GTS Hub which has a gold chamber that can provide a much smoother draw.

While both units put out great quality vapor, the Air 2 wins with the WPA versatility, cooler vapor and slightly larger cannabis capacity.

Arizer is renowned for their very durable devices and although both units are relatively new releases, I would certainly trust both to carry on the durable legacy Arizer has left behind. With that being said, in this Arizer Air 2 vs ArGo comparison, it’s difficult to pick a winner between the two. Both have solid construction, the materials feel great and Arizer includes a healthy accessories kit for both units.

The Air 2 does edge it out ever so slightly though. The ArGo as a whole begins to heat up notably more than the Air 2 does, which may not leave everyone comfortable. The sturdy aluminum body of the Air 2 takes on a better feel than the rubberized alloy material that the ArGo sports, and considering the Air 2 is a bit cheaper than the Go, it comes out on top. The Arizer Go also has its own replacement stem caps and screen caps that can be purchased separately.

If small chambers don’t do you good, then you’ll surely love the Utillian 722 especially because of its large cannabis holding capacity and convection heating chamber.

While both are built incredibly well, the Air 2 slightly edges out over the Arizer Go. Keyword: slightly.

Both units are incredibly easy to use. Both feature a digital display with easy to use temperature control, and both have chambers that load by inserting the glass stem into the unit, pre-packed with the cannabis of course. Both have a very low-maintenance cleaning process which is almost entirely restricted to the stem of each unit.

A simple soak in a cleaning solution will make quick work of any build-up and residue. There’s no definitive winner and again, as this round’s Air 2 vs ArGo showdown draws in a tie!

When thinking of ease of use, another vaporizer that comes to mind would be the LITL 1, mainly because of its simplicity for load, clean and use.

Portability

Battery Life

With both units featuring the exact same options when it comes to temperature flexibility and versatility, there is yet another complete tie. Both feature nice OLED screens, adjust in temperature in small increments with the same 128-428°F (53.3 -220°C). ! If there’s one point worth mentioning, the Air 2 heats up ever so slightly quicker. When I say that, it’s in the single-digit numbers, and really doesn’t impact much at all. But if you want a more precise temperature control with convection heating, then look no further than the Crafty vaporizer.

There is no clear winner here at all and both yield yet another tie!
