Way back in 2007, a company called Ploom was founded with the aim of revolutionizing the vaporizer industry. A few years later, in 2012, the original Pax weed vape was born. By 2017, Ploom rebranded as Pax Labs (styled simply as Pax) and the company had already moved onto the Pax 3 weed vape, which would go on to dominate the weed vape industry until this past year when it was usurped by its successor, the Pax Plus.
Today, you can’t have a conversation about weed vaporizers without bringing Pax into the discussion. The company has solidified itself as the chief industry staple and, with every new development, further entrenches its dominance. What you might not know, however, is that right now — 2023 — might just be the best time to invest in (or upgrade) your own Pax weed vape. That’s because the brand is still churning out the hits between new releases (in both vaporizers and consumables), deep discounts, free accessory deals, social reform projects and more.
Pax Stays on Top with New Releases
Only a few short months ago (we covered the story in November), Pax announced that it was doing a kind of minor restructuring of its devices, phasing out its industry-dominating Pax 3 vape in favor of a simpler, speedier, more user-friendly option, the Pax Plus. While we discovered that a lot of the updates were fairly minor (honestly, it must have been hard to improve on the Pax 3 at all), they were extensive enough when paired with the bonafide new features (like 3D-printed filters, a streamlined and app-free system of smoking modes, etc.) to crown the Pax Plus the new king of weed vapes. It helped, too, that the Pax Plus (priced at $250) retained much of what we all loved about the Pax 3, like the ability to heat up in just 20 seconds, precision temperature control, compatibility with both dry herb and concentrates and more.

But that wasn’t the only new device to come out at that time. The brand also released a new pocket- and travel-friendly vape a fraction of the size of either the Pax 3 or Pax Plus. Called simply the Pax Mini, this device still offers many of the same features (speedy heating, the same 2-hour functional battery life, etc.) in a much more portable package. In fact, it’s the smallest Pax device to date. Its only downside? It doesn’t work solely with concentrate, just dry herb (and Infused Flower pucks). Still, for $150, it’s a pretty killer deal all around.
