Hybrid Heating and Four Modes
PAX describes the Four's heater as a high-performance hybrid heater. According to the materials overview, a stainless steel and ceramic heater surrounds the laser-welded stainless steel oven and vapor path. You select the four modes using the button; PAX describes them qualitatively and does not state precise target temperatures on the verified product and help pages. According to PAX, a higher mode produces more vapor and consumes more battery.

Start-Up and Heat-Up Time
To switch on, hold the button for two seconds after fitting the mouthpiece, then release it. Pink LEDs indicate heating. Once the LEDs glow green, the Four is ready; the official quick start guide states approximately 55 to 70 seconds for this. PAX therefore gives a range, not a fixed single value.
Source: Switching on via a two-second press and the heat-up range of approximately 55 to 70 seconds are stated in the PAX Four Quick Start Guide.
Battery, Runtime and Charging
The quick start guide states 2,800 mAh and notes that the battery is not intended to be replaced. PAX states up to five sessions or approximately 50 minutes of use; runtime depends on the selected heating mode and usage. A full charge from 0 to 100 per cent via USB-C takes approximately 90 minutes according to PAX. Shaking the device while switched on displays the battery level — each illuminated LED petal represents 25 per cent.
Source: Runtime of approximately 50 minutes, around 90 minutes charging time, and the shake-to-check battery indicator are stated in the PAX help article "PAX Four Battery & Charging".
Housing, Cleaning and Water Pipe
PAX states dimensions of 107.5 × 36 × 26.7 mm; the materials overview lists no weight, while the PAX product page and the Planet of the Vapes review give 125 g. The oven and vapor path are made from laser-welded stainless steel, and the mouthpiece from heat-resistant, food-safe material. The quick start guide recommends cleaning every three to five sessions, ten minutes of cooling time, and isopropyl alcohol (90% shown). The official adapter fits 14 mm and 18 mm glass.
Source: The dimensions and the materials of the oven, vapor path and mouthpiece are listed in the PAX materials overview "PAX Materials and Finish".
Material, Vapor Claim and Warranty
The Four is designed for dry herb and is, according to PAX, not compatible with the PAX concentrate insert. PAX markets it with 50 per cent more vapor than PAX 2, PAX 3, PAX Plus, PAX Mini and PAX Flow; this is a manufacturer claim, not an independent comparative measurement. The limited warranty is two years, with an additional year added upon registration within 30 days of purchase.

According to PAX, the Four focuses on greater vapor output: the manufacturer states up to 50 per cent more vapor production than the Flow. According to PAX, the Flow offers faster charging (100 per cent in under 40 minutes with a compatible fast-charging accessory, versus approximately 90 minutes for the Four), a side-mounted, fully removable oven lid, a widened airpath, and five heating modes instead of four. Current retailer prices and structured data come from the dynamic comparison modules.

PAX Four vs PAX Plus
In short: Choose the PAX Four if you use dry herb exclusively and want the newer high-performance heater and redesigned herb chamber. The PAX Plus remains the more versatile option if you need the concentrate insert from the Complete Kit, the longer battery runtime stated by the manufacturer, or the longer warranty. Neither device is the outright winner for everyone.

Who Should Choose the PAX Four?
The PAX Four is the clearer choice for a setup intended exclusively for dry herb. The official product page highlights the redesigned herb chamber, four heating modes, and the higher-performance hybrid heater. According to PAX, this heater can produce up to 50% more vapor than the PAX 2, PAX 3, PAX Plus, PAX Mini and PAX Flow; this figure is a manufacturer comparison and not an independent test by VapoChecker. The drawbacks are the dry-herb-only chamber, the shorter stated runtime, and a shorter warranty.
Who Should Choose the PAX Plus?
The PAX Plus makes more sense if versatility and longevity matter more than the Four's newer heater. The Complete Kit supports concentrates via the included insert, while the half-pack lid accommodates smaller quantities of herb. The official specifications state a battery runtime of more than two hours and a ten-year limited warranty. Buyers who use flower exclusively can opt for the Starter Kit, but should compare the actual contents of the kits before ordering.
How to Interpret the Battery Claims
The two runtime figures use different units: PAX describes the Four's runtime as up to five sessions or 50 minutes, and the Plus's as more than two hours. They should therefore not be treated as the result of a controlled head-to-head comparison. Actual runtime can be affected by session length, heating mode, draw behavior, ambient temperature, and battery age.

First Session: Getting Started
Summary: Charge the PAX Four fully before first use. Grind your herbs to a medium-fine consistency, fill the oven with medium density and hold the button for two seconds after fitting the mouthpiece to switch it on. Pink LEDs indicate heating, green LEDs indicate readiness. The four modes are qualitative programs – not freely selectable temperature values.
1. Charge fully
Connect the PAX Four via USB-C and charge it fully before your first session. You can check the battery level by shaking the device whilst it is switched on. PAX states up to five sessions or up to 50 minutes of runtime; actual runtime depends on mode, draw behavior and environment.
2. Pack the oven correctly
- Open the oven lid at the side tab.
- Grind dry herbs to a medium-fine consistency.
- Press the material down lightly with the multi-tool until it is flush with the top of the oven – medium density, neither too loose nor too tight.
- Close the lid fully and insert the desired mouthpiece.
3. Switch on and heat up
Hold the button for approximately two seconds, then release it. During heat-up the petals glow pink. Once they glow green, the PAX Four is ready; the official quick-start guide states approximately 55 to 70 seconds. Whether you draw gently or forcefully is your choice; PAX calls this "Sip or Rip".
4. Choose one of the four modes
With the device switched on, briefly press the button to change mode. Then wait three seconds or shake the device to confirm your selection. The colors represent:
- Purple: minimal visible vapor and discreet use.
- Green: longer session and economical material consumption.
- Yellow: balanced flavor and gentle vapor.
- Orange: maximum vapor production and dense clouds.
PAX does not publish fixed temperature values in degrees Celsius for these programs in the quick-start guide. Rely on the mode description rather than unofficial temperature charts.
5. Cool down and keep clean
After your session, wait at least ten minutes before touching or emptying the oven or material. PAX recommends cleaning approximately every three to five sessions. Remove the material from the cooled oven using the multi-tool. To clean, dip the wire brush in isopropyl alcohol and draw it through the vapor path; PAX soaks the oven screen in alcohol for 15 minutes. Allow all parts to dry before reinserting them.
