The control button on the Blaze is now a protruding metal disk which feels more durable to the touch compared to the large, slightly wobbly, plastic disk on the Hypnos Zero.

Linx has been consistent in the level of detail brought to design and finish and this portable concentrate vaporizer is no exception. This concentrate pen feels reassuringly heavy in your hand and the precision with which each part has been machine-tooled is impressive. Like the Hypnos Zero, the Blaze’s brushed stainless steel finish is buttery smooth.

The most noticeable improvement over the Hypnos Zero is the Blaze’s impressive 900mAh battery which is 510-threaded. This heavy-duty atomizer is your ticket to dense, gratifying clouds. The disk heats up to the highest temperature setting in a blink of an eye and the increased size of the atomizer will allow you to load material to your heart’s content. The Blaze improves on this nifty solution by increasing the size of the disk allowing for more material to be heated all at once while at the same time recessing the disk further, preventing unheated material from disappearing along the edge of the disk. The Hypnos Zero’s convex heating ‘halo’ disk allows for material to be heated more evenly with any residue being collected in a narrow groove at the outer rim of the disk. The inevitable drawback of a donut-shaped heating element is its uneven heat distribution, which mainly spreads heat on the circle of the donut, leaving the material collected in the 'eye' not properly vaporized. We’ve come to love Linx’s take on the ceramic atomizer in the Hypnos Zero, with a ceramic disk instead of traditional donut. The all-quartz medical grade material guarantees a clean, wholesome and terpy vapour. The quartz ‘bucket’ is adequately protected by a thick stainless steel outer shell and allows for immediate heat transfer from the inlaid heating element coiled up under the bucket. The Blaze incorporates this heating method in a highly compact atomizer with impressive results. Linx has paid close attention to developments in larger dab rigs where quartz banger nails with electric heating elements have become a trustworthy alternative. The Blaze is definitely a trailblazer when it comes to the new Ace atomizer, featuring an all quartz bowl, separated from a highly responsive heating element. While the case is definitely sturdy and sports a beautiful matte black finish and a subtle grey Linx emblem, it’s not exactly pocket-sized. Linx provides screw-on caps for its replacement atomizers so we’re still wondering why they are not included with the initial vaporizer set - having an extra atomizer in your pocket would sometimes be preferable than bringing the case along. It's definitely bulkier than its predecessor but still more compact than most portable vaporizers out there.

Keeping your borosilicate mouthpiece from clogging and scratching is a big plus. In terms of portability, the Linx Blaze is one step up from the Hypnos Zero in that it comes with a magnetic lint cap.
