How did the Rokin Nitro2 work for me?

Over the course of a month, I used the Rokin Nitro2 in a few different settings and situations. My primary concentrate of choice in this time was Zkittlez shatter.

Compared to other vaporizing products I have tried and reviewed, the Rokin Nitro2 is one of the easiest pick up and use out of the box. The directions were easy to understand, and the functionalities are basic and intuitive.

While lounging at home, the Rokin Nitro2 is an easy and convenient way to vaporize your favorite cannabis concentrate. At my desk working or on my couch playing video games, it was easy for me to load and start vaping. A small size dab usually lasted for three to five good inhales, and there was no time wasted in waiting for anything to heat up. The pen also fit nicely in my penholder on my desk, and was easily accessible as needed.

Using the Rokin Nitro2 in public and on the go is where the experience takes a slightly less positive turn. The relatively large size of the pen combined with the rose gold coloring of the metal make it a pretty obvious vaporizing device. It was hard to be discrete if anyone was nearby, and while it was still nice to be able to vape my own shatter on the go, it was still a little uncomfortable to get the obvious stares from passersby.

I also found reloading the Rokin Nitro2 pen to be a little inconvenient while on the go. The silicone containers are a nice touch and kept my concentrate safe in my pocket, but it was a little difficult to load concentrate from the container to the pen without a dab tool. The kit does come with a dab tool, but it is not exactly something you want to walk around with in your pocket. A built-in dab tool of some sort would have been greatly appreciated. With that said, it is possible to roll up a small ball of hash with your fingers and drop it onto the titanium coils.

The pen is not ideal for group situations as I needed to constantly refill it while using it with a couple of friends. One load is perfect for a single user, but multiple people will have to tediously refill it a few times. The pen provides three temperature settings, but I didn’t see a need to switch from the medium blue temperature setting as it seemed to heat up the Zkittlez perfectly as needed.

In my entire month using it, I left it powered on multiple times, but it held its charge amazingly well. I maybe had to fully recharge it three times in my entire month using it.

The Rokin Mini Tank Bonus

The Rokin Mini Tank was a surprise addition, and a nice counterpart to the Nitro2. It’s a cool littler vaporizer that will fit most cartridges on the market and has a nice, clean (plastic) feel to it.

While the Nitro2 is flashy and heavy, the Mini Tank is almost invisible and weightless. Even with its bright green color, the Mini Tank stays hidden away in your hand as you vape. Its one button interface basically acts the same as the Nitro2, and is very easy to use out of the box. Retailing for $27.95 on their website, it is also one of the cheapest products available from Rokin.

With that said, the Nitro2 lets you vape your own concentrate, which yields better inhales usually, and the Mini Tank is limited to oil cartridges that in my opinion have never been too powerful or worthwhile.

The Nitro2 would be my at home vaporizer, and the Mini Tank would be for outdoors and on the move.

Rokin Nitro2 Rating Breakdown

In the next sections gradings from 0-100 on our review, these grades add up to give the product’s overall score.

PRESENTATION – 85

The Rokin Nitro2 really keeps to a simple design and presentation. Everything from the packaging to the functions to overall look is simple and minimalistic. No complaints overall on the design. The pen itself looks cool, and its all metal structure has a nice weight to it. If anything, the cheap and basic packaging betrays the fact that you are actually getting a sturdy and quality vape device. It’s the type of packaging you normally see on the most basic of atomizers.

The rose gold version I was sent was also little too reflective and obvious for my tastes, but there is a matte black version available that addresses this.

RELIABILITY – 100

I had no issues using the Rokin Nitro2, it worked exactly as advertised. The battery seemed to last a really long time in between chargings, and in my month using it, I maybe had to recharge it three times. What impressed me most was that I left the device on more than once, for a period of days, but it still worked perfectly fine when I went to use it again and discovered that it was still on. The 10 second auto shut off stops it from overheating, but I was still impressed it held its charge for days while on.

QUALITY – 95

As I mentioned above, the cheap packaging is deceiving. The Rokin Nitro2 is all metal and has a nice weight to it. The pieces easily come apart and screw tightly into each other, and I never saw any leaks. I did make sure to always keep the pen upright when carrying or keeping on my desk, but I did drop it a few times on the floor and nothing seemed to break or leak out.

The titanium coils looked pretty delicate to me upon first inspection, and I was even worried about them getting gunked up and quickly dirty, but they have held up perfectly fine and have stayed relatively clean on their own.

EASE OF USE – 100

The Rokin Nitro2 is a very easy to use vaporizer pen. There are many other pens on the market that try to add a lot more options and features, but then give a pretty poor user experience as you frantically try to figure out which custom option is right for you. I admit that others may prefer more options for things like flavor profiles, but I prefer the simple functionality offered by the Nitro2 over added options like subtler temperature differences or flashing colored strobe lights.

VALUE – 90

The Rokin Nitro2 Pen Vaporizer Kit – Rose Gold retails for $44.95 on the Rokin web store ($7.99+ for shipping). As described above, it’s a high quality device for the money, but the simple packaging may make you think it should be less. I found the dab tool to be a useless addition, and I would rather they excluded if it meant things would be cheaper. I am under the assumption most people getting a Rokin Nitro2 probably already have a dab tool of some sort, so a better option at the very least would be something more portable to carry along with you on the go.

The Nitro2 does automatically come with a 1 year warranty. I had no reason to need it or inquire about it my month using it, but it is a nice reassurance to have from the company.

How Rokin Nitro2 Stacks Up Against the Competition

I really appreciate the simple design and functionality of the Rokin Nitro2. There are a lot of devices offering more customizations or options to also use dry herb or oil, but I find it just muddles things and makes it more difficult for the user. Rokin actually has a model that provides many of these advanced options, called the Cyclone, but I find the Nitro2 to be a much more convenient device requiring very little upkeep or care.
The Nitro2 looks to be the best option for anyone in need of a simple and easy to use way to vape their own hash concentrate.
