The Heart of It: Hizen's Soft-Z Convection Explained
Before we get to the individual devices, it’s worth taking a look at the technology that connects almost all Hizen Vaporizers – because it explains why the devices taste the way they do. Hizen calls it Soft-Z Convection.
The core is simple: instead of heating the chamber wall and roasting your material on it (that would be conduction), in convection hot air flows through the herbs as soon as you draw on the mouthpiece. The material is surrounded by air, not touched directly. This is considered a particularly gentle, flavor-focused way to vaporize – the fine aromas come through cleaner, and no “burnt” aftertaste develops.
The real cleverness lies in the electronics: it checks and adjusts the temperature at short intervals to keep it constant at your target value, instead of overheating or dropping. For you, that means consistent draws from the first to the last puff and efficient use of your herbs. That’s exactly the point that matters in a good convection Vaporizer – and Hizen has been refining this system continuously since 2016.
1) The affordable entry: Hizen Stilus Mini
The Hizen Vaporizer Stilus Mini is the most compact and affordable device in the family – and deliberately the simplest. If you want to start without technical hassle and are looking for a device that easily fits in any pocket, it’s the logical entry point. It’s also a small exception in the Hizen range: instead of convection, it works with conduction, heating the chamber directly.
Conduction: quick to start, strong on the draw
Because the ceramic chamber is heated directly, the Stilus Mini is ready to use in under a minute and delivers visible, strong vapor from the start. This makes it especially straightforward – ideal if you want to vape quickly and discreetly in between. Conduction tastes a bit "fuller" and less delicate than pure convection, but it also forgives a coarser grind.
One button, six levels – that's all you need
The operation is deliberately minimalist: just one button, plus six fixed temperature levels indicated by multicolor RGB LEDs. A short vibration feedback tells you when the temperature is reached – all without a display. A memory function remembers your last level, and the button is pleasantly quiet for discreet use.
- Heating system: conduction, ceramic heating chamber (approx. 9 × 20 mm)
- Temperature: 6 levels – 175 / 185 / 195 / 205 / 215 / 225 °C
- Operation: 1 button, RGB LEDs for level & battery, vibration feedback, memory function
- Heating time: under 1 minute · Battery: built-in, 1500 mAh, charging via USB-C
- Format: approx. 15 cm, metal housing · also usable with bong adapter
- Expandable: with separate dosing capsules also for waxes and oils
2) Compact convection with replaceable battery: Hizen Nanu
The Hizen Nanu (currently in V2) is for many the ideal entry into the real Hizen world: it brings Soft-Z convection into a particularly compact pocket format and combines it with a replaceable battery and a display – features usually found in the larger Pro models. This closes the gap between the simple Stilus Mini and the full-sized Stilus devices.
True convection instead of contact heat
Unlike the Stilus Mini, the Nanu works with convection and isolated air paths – your material is surrounded by hot air, not directly heated. The result is a purer, more aromatic vapor. You set the temperature not in fixed steps but continuously and precisely from 80 to 220 °C, giving you much more control over flavor and intensity.
Two modes and a replaceable battery for on the go
Like the larger models, the Nanu offers two operating modes: the Normal Mode with a constant temperature and the Time Mode, where the temperature rises throughout the session – great for extracting everything from the delicate to the strong notes from one fill. A display shows you the values, and vibration feedback signals the progress. The replaceable 18650 LG battery sits behind a safety lock and can be swapped out on the go for a charged spare.
- Heating system: Soft-Z convection with insulated airways
- Temperature: stepless & precise 80–220 °C
- Modes: Normal Mode (constant) & Time Mode (rising), session timer
- Display: display + vibration feedback
- Battery: replaceable 18650 LG battery, charging via USB-C
- Format: approx. 10 cm, metal housing, PEEK mouthpiece · expandable for waxes & oils
3) The slim all-rounder: Hizen Stilus Pro Convection
The Hizen Vaporizer Stilus Pro Convection is the powerful mid-range model – a slim convection Vaporizer in vape-pen format that packs full Soft-Z technology into a practical, stylish housing. If you’re looking for a device that focuses on the essentials without needing an app or gimmicks, the Stilus Pro is just right.
Soft-Z convection in pen format
Inside, the efficient convection heating system works with fully insulated airways and an aluminum heating chamber. Hot air flows evenly through the herbs, gently releasing the aromas – pure, intense vapor without combustion. You control the temperature steplessly and precisely from 80 to 220 °C. It reaches operating temperature in about 45 seconds.
Operation you can master half-asleep
A clear LED display shows you the operating mode, temperature, and battery level, controlled via three buttons with haptic feedback. Practical for everyday use is the memory function: your last selected temperature is saved, so you don’t have to set it anew each session. Normal Mode and Time Mode as well as an endless timer are also available, with the alarm discreetly delivered via vibration.
- Heating system: Soft-Z convection, aluminum heating chamber (approx. 9 × 15 mm), insulated airways
- Temperature: stepless & precise 80–220 °C · Heating time: approx. 45 sec
- Operation: 3-button, LED display, haptic feedback, memory function
- Modes & Timer: Normal Mode / Time Mode, endless timer
- Battery: replaceable 18650 LG battery, USB-C, externally chargeable
- Size: height with mouthpiece approx. 10 cm · expandable for waxes & oils
4) For longer sessions: Hizen Stilus Pro Max
The Hizen Stilus Pro Max Vaporizer takes everything that defines the Stilus Pro and adds a decisive feature: the XXL heating chamber. If you like longer sessions, vaporize a larger amount at once, or simply appreciate stronger airflow, the Max is the right device.
XXL chamber made of aluminum
The extra-large aluminum heating chamber (approx. 12 × 14.8 mm) offers noticeably more space for material than the normal Stilus Pro models. That means more enjoyment per fill and a fantastic airflow – especially for longer rounds or if you vape with a partner, the most practical advantage ever. The proven convection with insulated air paths delivers the same pure vapor as the Stilus Pro.
Endless Timer with vibration alarm
You set the temperature precisely from 80 to 220 °C. The Endless Timer makes every session flexible: whether constant in Normal Mode or increasing in Time Mode – you can extend it multiple times by 2 minutes each, discreetly signaled by vibration. As with all larger Hizen devices, a replaceable 18650 battery sits in the device, which you can charge externally and swap on the go.
- Heating system: convection with insulated air paths, XXL aluminum chamber (approx. 12 × 14.8 mm)
- Temperature: stepless & precise 80–220 °C
- Timer & alarm: Endless Timer (Normal / Time Mode), +2 min per extension, vibration

- Mouthpiece: screw-on glass mouthpiece · Size: height with mouthpiece approx. 17.5 cm
- Scope of delivery: including brush & packing tool, 3 chamber screens, 2 mouthpiece screens, 18650 battery
5) The flagship: Hizen Convectum
The Hizen Convectum is the most powerful device from the brand. As a portable convection Vaporizer, the Convectum packs a lot of technology into a compact housing while remaining surprisingly easy to use. If you want to start at the top with Hizen from the beginning, the Convectum is the right choice: strongest convection system, large display, and two mouthpieces included.
Everything in view thanks to the large LED display
The heart of the operation is the large, easy-to-read LED display. It shows you battery level, temperature, operating mode, heating process, and timer at a glance – no guessing, no cryptic blinking codes. This clarity makes the Convectum so pleasant for everyday use. You can adjust the temperature steplessly from 80 to 220 °C, optionally in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Two modes, one timer without limits, two mouthpieces
You can choose between Normal Mode (constant temperature) and Time Mode (rising temperature), while the Endless Timer puts no limits on your session. Two mouthpieces come included: a foldable one for easy mobile use and a black glass mouthpiece for especially pure flavor. A clever detail: the cleaning tool for emptying the chamber is stored at the bottom of the device – so you always have it with you.
- Heating system: powerful convection system with fully insulated air path
- Temperature: stepless & precise 80–220 °C, switchable °C/°F
- Display: large LED display (battery level, temperature, mode, heating, timer)

Convection or Conduction – which Hizen suits your taste?
The heating system influences the flavor in Hizen more than any other factor – and it’s the most important difference within the range. Briefly and without technical jargon:
- Conduction (only Stilus Mini): The material rests against the hot chamber wall. Quick to start, strong draws, immediately visible vapor – but somewhat less refined in flavor and less control over subtle nuances.
- Soft-Z Convection (Nanu, Stilus Pro, Pro Max, Convectum): Only the hot air flowing through vaporizes your material. Clean, clear flavor, stepless temperature from 80–220 °C, and more control over your draw speed. This is the true Hizen principle.
Hizen Accessories: Grinders, Bubblers & Replacement Parts
A Hizen is designed as a system, not a disposable product – and the right accessories make more of a difference in everyday use than you might think. Because all devices are modular, you can get wear and replacement parts individually and keep your setup in shape for years.
- Hizen Grinder: A consistent grind is half the battle with convection. The Hizen Capsule Grinder grinds and fills dosing capsules in one step; there are also classic ceramic grinders and sturdy aluminum grinders in various sizes.
- Hizen Bubbler: If you want to additionally cool and filter the vapor, combine your Vaporizer with the Hizen Vapo-Bubbler – a water pipe attachment for noticeably smoother, more pleasant draws. Usage: fill with a little water (just enough so the air channel doesn’t flood), attach, inhale normally.
- Mouthpieces & screens: Glass and silicone mouthpieces, replacement screens, and cleaning kits for the individual models – wear parts that keep the taste fresh.
- Dosing capsules: For pre-filling and for waxes/oils, there are suitable capsules – the Hizen Convectum capsules keep the chamber clean and make material changes on the go faster.
- Batteries & charging set: For all replaceable battery models, there are spare batteries and a USB-C charging set that lets you charge 18650 cells externally – the basis for uninterrupted sessions on the go.
