PAX is a US brand with a clear identity: flat design, app control, and an ecosystem built around simplicity. Unlike brands like Storz & Bickel or Arizer, PAX doesn’t focus on removable batteries or glass mouthpieces — the devices are tuned for ease of use and lifestyle.
\n\n
The current PAX dry herb lineup has six models: PAX Mini, PAX Mini 2, PAX Plus, PAX Flow, PAX 3 and PAX Four. This guide focuses on dry herb vaporizers only.

Which PAX for Which User?
\n\n
Beginners without App: PAX Mini or PAX Mini 2
\n
The PAX Mini is the most affordable entry into the PAX ecosystem. No app, no fine temperature control — just turn it on and inhale. The newer PAX Mini 2 offers the same concept with minor refinements.
\n\n
App Control on a Budget: PAX Plus
\n
The PAX Plus is the most widely available PAX (76 shops). It offers app control, four temperature presets (182°C, 193°C, 204°C, 215°C) and the reliable 0.35 g chamber. The main difference between PAX Plus and PAX 3: the Plus drops the concentrate insert.
\n\n
The Current Flagship: PAX Flow
\n
The PAX Flow is the newest model (2025). Four Smart Temp modes (Efficiency, Balanced, Flavour, Performance), improved haptic feedback, and a refined heat path for faster heat-up. Available in 77 shops — the most popular premium PAX.
\n\n
Full Chamber Sessions: PAX Four
\n
The PAX Four has the largest chamber (0.5 g), a micro-dosing insert in the box, and Smart Paths via the app. Currently in only 8 shops — a good pick for users who routinely vape full chambers.
\n\n
PAX vs. Competitors
\n
PAX’s main competition: DaVinci IQ3 (better vapor quality, more settings, pricier), Crafty+ (hybrid heating, higher quality, pricier), and Arizer Air MAX (glass airpath, replaceable battery, simpler interface).
\n\n
PAX strengths: flattest profile on the market, mature app ecosystem, reliable resale value. PAX weaknesses: conduction-only heating, no replaceable battery, not the top performer in any price bracket.
\n\n
FAQ
\n\n
Do I need the app? No — all app-compatible PAX devices work without the app using a fixed temperature mode. The app significantly expands control options.
\n\n
PAX Plus or PAX Flow? If ~€130 more is in budget: PAX Flow is a meaningfully newer device. If you just want a reliable PAX at the lowest price: PAX Plus.
\n\n
Can you use PAX with a bong? Yes with the right adapter, but it’s not as plug-and-play as Arizer’s native glass stem compatibility.
\n\n
How long does the PAX battery last? PAX Plus and PAX Flow deliver 8–10 sessions per charge depending on temperature. PAX Mini and Mini 2 manage around 5–7 sessions. All current models charge via USB-C — PAX Flow and PAX Four support passthrough charging so you can vape while plugged in.
