PAX Plus: Dual-use with app control
The PAX Plus is the upgrade for users who want more than just herbs.Dual-use means: herbs and concentrates in one device – switching between modes only requires replacing the lid.Four temperature levels cover the entire range, from low-aromatic to high-intensity.The app allows precise temperature setting and session tracking.
Key fact: The PAX Plus supports both dry herb and concentrates with Bluetooth app control and four temperature presets. Starting from 134 EUR at 99 shops, it is PAX’s mid-range device bridging the gap between the budget Mini and the flagship Four (Vapochecker, 2026).
The larger battery (3000 mAh) lasts 8-10 sessions — enough for a whole day.The housing is identical to the Mini, only slightly heavier.
Disadvantages: More expensive than the Mini.More features than most users need.

PAX Mini: Simplicity as a strength
The PAX Mini does exactly one thing – and it does it well: vaporize herbs.No app requirement, no settings, no learning curve.Switch on, wait, steam.A fixed temperature that fits 90% of all use cases.82 grams, fits in every pocket.
Key fact: The PAX Mini strips away app control and concentrate support to offer the simplest PAX experience at the lowest price. At 85 EUR from 95 shops, it is PAX’s entry-level device — herb-only with a single-button interface (Vapochecker, 2026).
If you’ve never used a vaporizer before: The Mini is the easiest entry into the PAX world.No setup, no decision between temperature levels.
Disadvantages: No temperature selection.No dual use.Smaller battery (3300 mAh, 6-8 sessions).
