A Review of PAX’s New Dry Herb Vape: FLOW

The newest PAX dry herb vape has arrived. But just how accurate is the hype surrounding this release? The FLOW is a sleek evolution of the brand’s previous devices. It features an innovative hybrid heating vaping system in a signature handheld design.

Here’s what you need to know about this new portable vape.

• The PAX FLOW delivers up to 4x more airflow than previous PAX vaporizers, designed for maximum vapor production
• Hybrid heating combines conduction and convection for better flavor and efficiency, extracting more cannabinoids and terpenes from your flower
• At $350, it’s an investment into reliable sessions with features like fast USB-C charging, a magnetic oven lid, and easy maintenance
• 5 experience modes let you tailor sessions from flavor-focused to potent, heavy rips
• The redesigned oven can take 0.25g to 0.5g with easy loading through a detachable side door

The FLOW is PAX Labs’ newest portable dry herb vape that combines conduction and convection heating to produce flavorful and smooth vapor. The FLOW helps to bridge the gap between traditional smoking and the way modern vaporization is typically done today.

This dry herb vape represents nearly two decades of vaping innovation. While the PAX Mini and PAX Plus still have their own strengths, the FLOW introduces advanced heating and airflow technology that fundamentally changes the way you experience dry herb vaping.

The FLOW has that characteristic PAX aesthetic—compact, minimalist, and pocket-friendly. It’s available in Onyx (black) and Greenstone (green), with an overall design that looks more like a cool tech accessory than a typical dry herb vaporizer.

The quality aspect is obvious as soon as you feel it. Smooth edges and a lightweight design make it super comfortable to hold against your lips during sessions.

One major difference? The ultra-convenient “side door” for loading your herb, which easily pops open with a simple push near the top.

Features:

• 5 heat settings with real-time temperature control
• Hybrid heating system (conduction + convection)
• Side-mounted magnetic oven lid for easy access
• Compatible with the half-pack oven lid accessory
• Includes flat and raised mouthpiece options
• Wire brush and included brush for cleaning
• USB-C charging (40 minutes to full)
• Bowl size: 0.25g to 0.5g capacity

Loading and Cleaning:

• Detachable oven door packs like a classic pipe
• Open-access airpath prevents hidden residue
• Removable mouthpiece for easy cleaning
• Multi-tool and cleaning swabs included
• No hidden chambers to trap herbs

The battery life gives you multiple sessions per charge and a half charge in just 20 minutes. But the real MVP? Temperature settings. Go higher for dense, potent vapor and lower for terpenes and flavor. The real-time temperature control means each cycle heats consistently throughout your session, whether you’re looking to vaporize flower gently or push for maximum potency.

At $350, the FLOW leans toward the premium end of portable dry herb vapes. But when you think about the vapor quality, efficiency improvements, and ridiculously easy cleaning, the value aspect becomes pretty clear.

We wouldn’t recommend this vaporizer for occasional users and those who are satisfied with a more affordable mid-tier vape that gets the job done. This isn’t the vape for you.

That said, if you’re like me and constantly disappointed with those aforementioned mid-tier vapes, the PAX FLOW is all value. The enhanced airflow alone makes a noticeable difference compared to most other vapes on the market.

The FLOW’s performance makes it a worthy investment for quality sessions now and in the years to come.

So how does the PAX FLOW compare to other PAX products?

• PAX Mini: A dry herb vaporizer designed for discretion and portability
• PAX Plus: A dual-use vaporizer designed for versatility and performance

And when it comes to the PAX FLOW, this device:

• Focuses on power and vapor production
• Has a widened airpath for more airflow and less draw resistance
• Uses hybrid heating instead of the pure conduction of other PAX devices

The result? Up to 4x more airflow than other PAX devices, and a design that was intentionally built for flower enthusiasts seeking an effortless, quality experience.

PAX has clearly listened to feedback about their previous portable vapes. The FLOW addresses a few common complaints:

• Draw resistance
• Simplifies cleaning
• Improves efficiency

…all while maintaining that sleek portability PAX is known for. Whether you’re upgrading from an older PAX model or trying a PAX device for the first time, the FLOW is the complete package.

The combination of hybrid heating, enhanced airflow, and thoughtful design makes this one of the more exciting releases in the dry herb vaporizer space this year. Sure, the price might make you pause, but for those who prioritize quality vapor and want to boost their cannabis sessions, the FLOW makes a strong case for itself.
