PAX Four vs PAX Plus
The PAX Four and PAX Plus represent two different approaches from PAX Labs. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | PAX Four | PAX Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Price | from 173 | from 91 |
| Heating | Hybrid (conduction + convection) | Conduction only |
| Battery | 2800 mAh | 3300 mAh ✓ |
| Max Temp | 220°C ✓ | 215°C |
| Weight | 125g | 91g ✓ |
| Warranty | 2 years | 10 years ✓ |
| Passthrough | Yes | Yes |
Our verdict: Choose the PAX Plus if you want the best value - longer battery, lighter weight, and an industry-leading 10-year warranty for ~60€ less. Choose the PAX Four if you prioritize vapor quality and want hybrid heating technology for denser, more flavorful vapor from the first draw.
Key differences explained:
- Hybrid vs Conduction: The PAX Four adds hot air (convection) during draws, producing thicker vapor with better flavor extraction. The PAX Plus uses pure conduction, which works well but takes longer to extract.
- Battery life: Despite hybrid heating's higher power draw, both devices last about 50-60 minutes. The PAX Plus has 500 mAh more capacity.
- Warranty: The PAX Plus comes with PAX's legendary 10-year warranty. The PAX Four only has 2 years - a significant difference for a ~170€ device.

Mouthpieces are compatible. Dosing capsules and concentrate inserts won't work — the PAX Four has a different oven design and doesn't support concentrates.
Yes if vapor quality is your priority. Hybrid heating is a clear upgrade. No if you need app control, concentrate compatibility, or maximum battery life — the PAX 3 has all of those, the PAX Four doesn't.
