Speaking of power, the 1200mAh battery delivers strong performance and fast charging in just 45 minutes.
You can even use pass-through charging, meaning you can puff while it’s plugged in. Perfect for on-the-go vaping missions with your backup battery bank in hand!
And because life’s too short to remember everything, it also comes with a 3-minute automatic shut-off timer for peace of mind.
From cold start to ready-to-hit in just 20 seconds, the AirVape XS GO proves that great things really do come in small, sexy packages. Whether you’re a casual toker or a seasoned herb enthusiast, this portable dry herb vape brings both beauty and brains to your next session.
PAX Plus Limited Edition (Expand). Flower? Concentrates? Ja, both.
Meet the pocket rocket that does it all without making a scene. The PAX Plus (Limited Edition) is that friend who’s always ready: quick on the draw, smooth under pressure, dressed to impress, and does it all discreetly.
You can pack dry herb or switch to concentrates when you’re feeling fancy! No need for two devices, no admin, just vibes. Tap, wait a blink, and boom: around 22 seconds from cold to cloud. Lekker.
With four heating settings, or moods, you can set it to be:
- Stealthy (low-key),
- Efficient (sips your stash),
- Flavourful(terps sing),
- Or cloud maker
There’s no need to pack it to the max; you can go half-packed for solo sneaks or full-packed for sharing with the crew.
Also, the PAX Plus Limited Edition is whisper-quiet and produces a low odour: No combustion means less smell, making it ideal for discreet city missions or a Karoo sunset session.
As you’d expect from PAX, there are some premium features included: flat and raised mouthpieces, a concentrate insert, standard and half-pack lids, a multi-tool, an oven screen, and a maintenance kit.
It’s the kind of vape that makes you go, “Sho, that’s smooth.” The draw is comfy, the flavour’s crisp, and the whole thing feels… sorted. No faff. Just press, puff, smile.
XMax Starry 4 Dry Herb Vaporizer
Meet the XMAX Starry 4, the vape that doesn’t try too hard… because it doesn’t have to. Sleek? Check. Smart? Definitely. Ready for action? Always.
This dry herb vaporizer is like that friend who always shows up, never flakes, and somehow looks good doing it.
Whether you’re chilling on the couch, catching sunset seshes on Signal Hill, or hiking with the crew, the Starry 4 fits right in, literally, into your discreet pocket.
What Else Is There To Say?
Expect to create custom clouds on demand, with complete temperature control (100 °C–240 °C), you can tweak your session to match your mood. Want flavour? Go low. Want clouds? Crank it up, baby.
You can also adjust the device’s airflow to achieve a tight or loose draw. Additionally, with its swappable 18650 battery and USB-C fast charging, you’re never left high and dry. Bring a spare battery, and you’re basically unstoppable.
The Starry 4 isn’t about blowing the most significant clouds in the room; this device is all about enjoying every draw. Smooth, flavourful, and totally chill. It’s the kind of vape you pull out, hit twice, and say,
“Whoa, that’s nice.”
And if you forget to switch it off (because you’re distracted by, you know, life), it’s got an auto shut-off timer to save your herbs — and your battery.
PAX FLOW: Pocket Powerhouse for Dry-Herb Cloud Chasers
Right, buckle up! The PAX FLOW is not just another dry herb vaporiser.
It’s like the James Bond of vapes: sleek, mission-ready, and ready to rumble with top-tier flavour and performance. Whether you’re chilling at home or sneaking a sesh at sundown, this one’s built for the moment.
Imagine grabbing the PAX FLOW, loading up your favourite strain, pressing the button, and in about 35 seconds, you’re good to go. The draw is effortless, the vapour smooth. Whether you’re enjoying a solo moment or sharing a chilled sesh, it holds it down. Just a heads-up: in full-blast mode, it can warm up, so it’s smart to pack it down or go flavour-mode if you’re cruising.
The PAX Flow isn’t playing around, as it brings the best of both worlds with hybrid heating (which combines conduction and convection for the vape enthusiasts out there).
The result? Smooth, flavour-packed vapour that tastes like your herb, not a burnt toaster. With six times more airflow than earlier models, your draws feel easy and open. No more puffing like you’re trying to drink a milkshake through a cocktail straw.
Wait! There’s More!
Because no one likes waiting, it’s got USB-C fast charging that powers up in about 40 minutes, while the side-loading oven makes packing and cleaning a total breeze.
Plus, with five smart heat modes, you can pick your vibe. Keep it mellow for flavour or crank it up to “bong mode” for big, bold clouds.
All of this goodness is wrapped in a sleek, matte 135-gram body that slides right into your pocket without shouting, “Hey, I’m a gadget!” It’s discreet, premium, and effortlessly cool.
This is exactly how a modern vape should be.
