PAX Plus
Disappears in skinny jeans. Reads as premium tech to anyone who clocks it. The Dyson Supersonic of vaporisers — you're not paying for performance, you're paying for invisibility.
Ninety-three grams. One button. The disappearing act.
Pocket it, forget it. Lip-sensing heats on approach, cools when you set it aside. Shake to check battery. Four Experience Modes, no app, no firmware updates, no decisions to make when you're already out.
Anodised aluminium. Ten-year warranty. Design-museum proportions.
Four matte colourways. Premium haptics throughout. The longest warranty on the shortlist — longer than S&B's three, longer than Arizer's lifetime heater-only cover. Built to outlive your phone.
Built to disappear. Backed for a decade.
The only portable that genuinely vanishes.
98 × 31 × 22mm, flush-mounted mouthpiece, matte aluminium that resists fingerprints. Front jeans pocket, jacket pocket, palm of your hand — wherever you put it, it's gone. Mighty+ is 230g. Solo 3 V2 is 260g. The Plus is a different category.
Four Experience Modes. Shake to check battery.
Stealth (182°C), Efficiency (193–204°C), Flavour (204–216°C) and Boost (216°C+). Long-press to switch. Lip-sensing heats on approach, cools when set aside. No app, no firmware, no decisions.
The longest on this shortlist. With registration.
Longer than S&B's three. Longer than Arizer's electronics warranty. A decade-long institutional commitment that justifies the design tax — RMA handled through our Manchester support desk.
Anodised aluminium. Design-museum proportions.
Four colours — Onyx, Sage, Burnt Orange, Moonlight. The refined successor to the PAX 3 with better 3D-printed screens, premium haptics and the cleaner matte finish. When a mate clocks it they ask "is that a PAX?" with a hint of respect.
0.3–0.5g. Half-pack lid included.
Full pack for group sessions. Half-pack lid for solo runs — the included accessory that's the single biggest reliability variable. Fine grind, firm tamp, sip like a cigar. Don't try to rip it like a bong.
~75 minutes. Magnetic dock.
Roughly ten sessions per charge. The proprietary magnetic dock is the genuine liability — no USB-C fallback. Forget the dock and you've got a paperweight. We recommend a spare dock in the work bag.
The numbers. No marketing spin.
Plus vs Flow vs XMAX V3 Pro.
The Plus wins on stealth. Everything else wins on vapour.
- You genuinely need to be invisible. Gigs, cinema, in-laws, sensitive workplace travel.
- You care how your gear looks. Anodised aluminium, design-museum proportions, premium haptics throughout.
- You're a slow sipper. Conduction rewards cigar-style draws.
- You'll actually maintain it every few bowls. The difference between consistent performance and burnt restricted airflow.
- You want the best vapour for the money. £130 buys better extraction elsewhere. This is a design tax, not a performance tax.
- You're a heavy daily user. Ten sessions per charge and a proprietary dock will frustrate you.
- You hate proprietary charging. No USB-C fallback. Forget the dock and you've got a paperweight.
- You want clouds and punch. Conduction can't compete with hybrid heaters.
"The Dyson Supersonic of vaporisers. Not the best performer. The most invisible. For people who need that specifically, nothing else comes close."

"Bought it for gigs and nothing else. Ten months of Friday nights, not a single awkward moment. The Mighty+ stays at home where it belongs."
"The four Experience Modes sound limiting until you realise you don't want to think when you're already out. Pick a mode, walk into the pub."
"Love it. Lost a star for the proprietary dock. Bought a spare. Now I love it again. Would still recommend to anyone who values stealth over vapour."
PAX Plus
