How long does the PAX Four battery last?

The 2800 mAh battery delivers about 50 minutes of active use — roughly 5 sessions per charge. USB-C charging takes around 90 minutes. Passthrough charging lets you use the device while plugged in.

Is the PAX Four better than the PAX 3?

For vapor quality, yes. Hybrid heating produces 50% denser vapor than the PAX 3's conduction-only system (PAX Labs, 2026). But the PAX 3 had longer battery life (3500 mAh), app control, and concentrate compatibility.

Can the PAX Four be used with concentrates?

No. The PAX Four is dry herb only. PAX removed concentrate support to optimize the oven for hybrid heating. For concentrates, look at the PAX Plus or dedicated concentrate vaporizers.

PAX Four vs Mighty+ — which is better?

The Mighty+ wins on vapor quality, cooling system, and battery life but weighs 230g vs 125g and costs significantly more. The PAX Four is the pocket-friendly choice. Choose the Mighty+ for home use, the PAX Four for on-the-go.

What temperature should I use on the PAX Four?

Start at 190 degrees C (Mode 1) for pure flavor. Mode 2 (200 C) offers balanced vapor. Mode 3 (210 C) produces thick clouds. Mode 4 (220 C) is for maximum extraction at the expense of flavor.
