Both the Pava Horiz AI and the Pava Horiz Ultra share Pava’s signature feature: an AI chip that detects a drying coil and cuts power before you get a burnt hit. The Ultra is the newer flagship built on top of that same idea — more power, a bigger battery, and noticeably more premium materials. Shop the full Pava in Dubai range.

The practical differences: the Ultra’s 400mAh larger battery and higher power ceiling make it the better fit if you want restricted-direct-lung (RDTL) vaping with denser clouds — the extra 0.4Ω pod option is built specifically for that. The AI sticks to a tighter, more MTL-focused wattage range and a smaller battery, which also means a lighter, more pocketable device.
Does the AI anti-dry-hit feature actually matter?
It’s a genuinely useful safety feature for beginners specifically: the chip watches coil temperature and resistance, and cuts power if it detects the wick is running dry, before you get a harsh burnt taste. Both devices have this. The Ultra’s “Chip 2.0” is described by Pava as faster and more precise, but the core protection is present on both models — you’re not missing this feature by buying the cheaper AI.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the Horiz AI if you mainly vape MTL, want a lighter device, and don’t need multi-day battery life.
Buy the Horiz Ultra if you want to switch between MTL and RDTL, want the largest battery in the Horiz line, or care about premium build materials.
What is the main difference between the Pava Horiz AI and Horiz Ultra?
u003cpu003eThe Ultra has a bigger 1500mAh battery (vs 1100mAh), higher 40W output (vs 28W), premium aluminum/leather construction, and adds a 0.4u005cu03a9 pod option for RDTL vaping that the AI doesn’t have.u003c/pu003e
Do both devices have the anti-dry-hit AI feature?
u003cpu003eYes, both have Pava’s AI chip that detects a drying coil and cuts power before it burns. The Ultra runs the newer, faster u005cu0022Chip 2.0u005cu0022 version, but the core protection is on both.u003c/pu003e
Which is better for MTL vaping?
u003cpu003eBoth handle MTL well with their 0.8u005cu03a9 pods. The Horiz AI is lighter and more pocketable if MTL is all you need.u003c/pu003e
Can the Horiz Ultra do restricted-direct-lung (RDTL) vaping?
u003cpu003eYes u005cu2014 its 40W output and dedicated 0.4u005cu03a9 pod are built specifically for denser, more open RDTL draws, which the Horiz AI isn’t designed for.u003c/pu003e
Are the pods interchangeable between the two devices?
u003cpu003eThe 0.6u005cu03a9 and 0.8u005cu03a9 pods are shared across the Horiz AI and Horiz Ultra. The 0.4u005cu03a9 pod is Ultra-specific, built for its higher wattage ceiling.u003c/pu003e
Coil compatibility across the range
Both the Horiz AI and Horiz Ultra use Pava’s proprietary pod design, so coils aren’t interchangeable with other brands — you’ll need to stick with Pava-branded replacement pods for either device. Given the AI chip actively monitors coil condition, replacing the pod as soon as you get a burnt-hit warning (rather than pushing through a few more sessions) will give you the most consistent flavor over the device’s lifetime.
Charging both devices
Both the Horiz AI and Horiz Ultra use Type-C charging, so cables are easy to source and you won’t need a device-specific charger. Full charge time scales with the battery size — expect the Ultra’s larger 1500mAh cell to take somewhat longer than the AI’s 1100mAh, though both are reasonably quick given their compact size. Avoid letting either device sit at zero battery for extended periods, as this can shorten the lifespan of the internal cell over time.
