Pax Plus

You should get the Pax Plus if…

You are searching for a portable dry herb device capable of vaporizing wax. The Pax Plus vaporizer is essentially the fourth generation of the popular Pax vaporizer line. It's an upgraded version of its predecessor, the Pax 3 vaporizer, with several new features and improvements. The Pax Plus is great as a traveling device since it features a quick heat-up time and many options to create different experiences depending on the type of session you want. This vaporizer lasts up to 2 hours of continuous use. It is charged via a magnetic USB charging dock, the same mechanism used in the previous Pax 2 model. Overall, this device is great for those wanting a small, versatile, easy-to-use device that is not exceptional but is well-rounded enough for most users to enjoy simple sessions on the go.

Dual-Use

The device (or you may call it Pax 4) is designed for herb use yet includes a dry wax insert, allowing for wax sessions as well. Wax use is not recommended for heavy users since this device can feel quite warm when using it at high temperatures. Still, it is very good for those wanting to vaporize wax occasionally.

Dry herbs, on the other hand, can provide bigger hits, especially when taking into account that you can swap the default oven out for a bigger-sized one that is better suited for group sessions. When vaporizing w, the insert axwill stick out slightly from the bottom of the device, which is normal.

For those wanting to use the wax insert, we recommend using the highest temperature setting for the best results. Dual-use vaporizers tend to allow for good-tasting vapor but do not provide dense clouds due to their lack of power; the Pax plus, however, is pretty good at using both, while dry herb usage is slightly more efficient for those who want stronger hits.

Easy to Use and Clean

The manufacturing quality of this device makes it a decent upgrade to previous models, although structurally similar. The body is covered in a high-polish anodized aluminum finish, making the outer shell extremely durable. To clean the outside of this device, a quick wipe is all you need to get rid of any fingerprints.

The 3D oven is also fully removable, allowing users to clean it using isopropyl alcohol-covered cleaning items such as wipes and sticks. The few temperature settings offer a minimal learning curve, so this device is very good as a first vaporizer for any user. The material used on the bottom of the lid used to be plastic and has since upgraded to a non-disclosed material which does not seem to be plastic anymore due to its hardness.

Flexible and Powerful

The new Pax plus is quite adaptable thanks to its different oven sizes and dual-use; that being said, a few additions make all these features come together. This device has a fast heat-up time and a decent max temperature of 420ºF (215ºC). The different temperature settings and wide oven that this device offers make it extremely simple to use while providing versatility to your sessions. Pax offers pressling pods that are similar to other 3rd generation vaporizers like the Zeus Arc S, except these presslings, unlike ArcPods, have to be purchased and cannot be filled and refilled.

They are calling this loading option Infused Pax Pods, which are chamber-sized pucks made with a mixture of herb and wax. While a very innovative option, these are not currently available in many places. In that light, we would only call the Pax Plus a 3rd generation vaporizer, in juristictions were these pods are available. We would encourage you to try them, if your state or country has them available in stores. However if you really want a 3rd generation device, for which you can fill the pods at a much lower cost, you are better with other options.

Intelligent Sessions

No matter the mode you use, they all offer different outcomes. The temperatures of each mode are not specified as you would find on a precise temperature control device like the Utillian 620, but we found some rough estimates:

1st Temperature: Stealth mode 182ºC (360ºF) - Best for discreet sessions
2nd Temperature: Efficiency mode 193ºC (380ºF) - Best for slow-paced sessions
3rd Temperature: Flavor mode 204ºC (400ºF) - Best for flavor extraction
4th Temperature: Boost Mode 215ºC (420ºF) - Best for full extraction and wax use

The different experience modes allow this device to be used by almost any connoisseur, beginner, or experienced. We recommend the Pax plus to low-medium frequency users since the device tends to get hot between sessions, making high-frequency users take more breaks to let the chamber cool down.
