The PAX Flow is a pocketable dry herb vaporizer built with hybrid heating and improved airflow. In this review, we cover real-world performance, cleaning tips, and how it compares to the PAX Plus so you can choose confidently.
Hands-on impressions, specs, day-to-day usability, cleaning tips, and a practical PAX Flow vs PAX Plus breakdown.
The PAX Flow is a pocketable dry-herb vaporizer that introduces a reworked hybrid heating system and a much more open airflow compared to prior PAX models. It’s built for faster extractions, easier draws, and simplified maintenance while keeping the familiar portable form factor.
Specs above summarized from manufacturer and retail listings.
If you’ve used previous PAX devices, Flow feels familiar—but the draw is freer and the heat ramps faster, making short sessions more practical.
Flow’s hybrid approach delivers even extraction and stronger clouds than legacy PAX units, especially at higher modes. The freer intake supports longer pulls without the “tight draw” feeling, and the real-time temperature control helps stabilize output as you inhale.
With the oven door and airpath accessible from the side, maintenance is quick:
Compared to older center-path designs, Flow’s layout makes it easier to keep buildup at bay.
Bottom line: Choose Flow if you want faster, stronger sessions with bigger pulls and simpler cleaning. Choose Plus if you prefer smaller form factor, mellow sips, and longer runtime between charges.
No. It’s designed for loose-leaf dry herb.
Roughly a quarter to half a gram depending on grind and pack.
