The PAX Flow is the newest dry herb vaporizer from PAX, and it's clear they’ve taken feedback from past models to heart. While the PAX Plus focused on dual-use flexibility and long battery life, the Flow brings noticeable improvements to airflow, heat-up performance, and maintenance. If you’ve used a PAX device before, this is going to feel familiar in the best ways, but with a few key upgrades.

Let’s break down what the PAX Flow Weed Vaporizer is all about and how it stacks up, especially compared to the PAX Plus.

The PAX Flow keeps the minimalist look the brand is known for, but with a chunkier and more solid feel. It's about 4.2 inches tall, 1.36 inches wide, and weighs around 135 grams. It's pocketable but more noticeable in the hand than earlier models.

The matte finish comes in black or green and feels durable. The oven door now opens from the back, which makes loading and cleaning way easier than the top-load design found in the PAX Plus. The new build feels practical and a lot more user-friendly for everyday use.

This is where the Flow really shines. PAX has always focused on smooth, flavorful vapor, but the Flow adds more punch to each hit. Thanks to a redesigned hybrid heating system and an open vapor path, airflow is noticeably better. It delivers denser clouds and more satisfying pulls, especially at higher settings.

If you've used the PAX Plus and found it a little tight or light on vapor, the Flow will feel like a serious upgrade. You get thick, flavorful vapor without needing to draw like you're sipping through a straw.

The PAX Flow gives you around four full sessions per charge, which adds up to about 35 to 40 minutes of runtime depending on how you vape. That’s less than the PAX Plus, which could stretch closer to 10 light sessions per charge. However, the Flow makes up for it with USB-C charging.

You can get back to 50 percent in about 20 minutes and hit a full charge in around 35 to 40. If you’re the type to take quick sessions and don’t mind topping up during the day, the Flow works just fine.

Even though it’s a bit bulkier, the Flow still fits in your pocket or bag without a problem. Controls are simple and solid. One button powers the device and cycles through heat modes. No complicated menus or phone app needed.

The Flow features five session modes:

Stealth Mode

Efficiency Mode

Flavor Mode

Boost Mode

Bubbler Mode (for use with glass attachments)

Switching modes is quick and responsive. Compared to the PAX Plus, the modes on the Flow feel more powerful and better suited for users who want to control the intensity of each session.

The Flow heats up in about 35 to 45 seconds depending on the battery level and selected mode. It’s just a few seconds slower than the PAX Plus, which usually got up to temp in 30 to 40 seconds. Realistically, both are fast enough for quick use or back-to-back sessions.

The Flow’s hybrid heating system is designed for full, even extraction. Lower settings keep flavor front and center, while higher modes deliver heavier vapor. The only thing to watch out for is body heat. The Flow can get warm during longer or high-temp sessions. It’s not extreme, but compared to the PAX Plus, which stayed cooler longer, it’s something to keep in mind if you like to chain sessions.

This is one of the Flow’s biggest wins. The back oven door opens wide, and the vapor path is more direct and accessible. Wiping it down after a session is quick and easy. You won’t need pipe cleaners or alcohol soaks nearly as often.

The PAX Plus had a more complex internal path that needed more attention. If cleaning is a chore you hate, the Flow is definitely the easier device to live with.

The PAX Flow is all about smoother draws, punchier vapor, and easier use. If you only vape dry herb and want something that hits harder than previous PAX Vaporizers while keeping that premium feel, this is it.

Here’s a quick summary of what stands out:

What the PAX Flow does best:

Strong, dense vapor with better airflow

USB-C fast charging

Simple controls with five useful session modes

Easy to clean and maintain

Sleek, solid build that feels premium

What to keep in mind:

Shorter battery life than the PAX Plus

Can run warm during longer sessions

Dry herb only, no concentrate support

Warranty is shorter than the Plus (2 years vs 10 years)

If battery life and concentrate support matter more to you, the PAX Plus still has a spot in the lineup. But if you want performance, faster charging, and smoother sessions with less effort, the PAX Flow is the most modern and satisfying PAX yet.
