PAX launches PAX FOUR, its most powerful dry herb vaporiser delivering 50% more vapour

PAX has launched PAX FOUR, its most powerful dry herb vaporiser, designed to deliver smoking-level intensity without combustion. The device features a redesigned hybrid heating system that produces 50% more vapour and faster heat-up than previous PAX models. PAX FOUR includes four preset heat modes with patented temperature control, haptic feedback, USB-C charging and up to 50 minutes of battery life. The vaporiser is 40% smaller and 75% lighter than competing devices whilst heating cannabis flower rather than burning it, avoiding harmful combustion byproducts. Available from 3 March 2026 in Onyx and Greenstone colourways, PAX FOUR retails for $250 on pax.com and at select global retailers. The launch completes PAX's dry herb lineup alongside FLOW and MINI models.

Pax Announces Industry-Leading Sustainability Initiatives To Fight Global Plastic Waste Crisis

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PAX, a leading global cannabis brand, today announced a new program to reduce plastic waste.

This certification includes PAX MINI and PLUS, PAX ERA and 1G pods, and PAX Gummies, and means that for every product sold, twice as much plastic waste is removed from nature. As part of this broader plastic action effort, PAX is launching PAX TRIP, the brand’s first all-in-one vape, and the industry’s first plastic negative all-in-one, made with ocean bound plastic. The TRIP features PAX’s pure cannabis oils, with a rechargeable battery that heats, never burns, from start to finish. Additionally, it has been engineered for clean hits, with a clear air path that ensures vapor never touches the internal electronics
