PAX 4, PAX New Mini and PAX Flow are for you if discretion and style are important to you.

For those who want to get started right away, the PAX Flow is already available as an efficient herb vaporizer with fast heating. You'll likely have to wait until mid-year for the other vaporizer innovations of 2026, namely the PAX 4 and PAX New Mini. While the upcoming flagship model will probably boast high-end features, the Mini is expected to revolutionize the pocket-sized vaporizer format.

These devices score points for absolute discretion when you're out and about, as their design is reminiscent of modern gadgets and hardly attracts attention. The draw on the Flow is already pleasantly open, which can also be expected in future models. Cleaning is refreshingly simple, as the chambers are easily accessible and don't retain much residue. Our colorful pipe cleaners are ideal for cleaning the Flow.

Avoid typical buying mistakes by honestly assessing your needs. Do you absolutely need the latest app control of the PAX 4, or is the solid performance of the Flow perfectly adequate? Those who want to enjoy simplicity will save money and hassle by opting for a tried-and-tested model instead of waiting unnecessarily for features that often go unused in everyday life.

Tip: Use the Pax Flow Grip Sleeve for better grip when using the Flow.

Two top dogs, one feeling: Venty and Mighty+ will still be relevant in 2026

Solid German engineering never becomes obsolete. Even among the vaporizer innovations of 2026, the Venty and Mighty+ remain the undisputed benchmark for discerning vapers. Instead of focusing on fleeting trends, Storz & Bickel prioritizes long-lasting performance and medical-grade standards. Here, you're investing in true engineering excellence that consistently delivers dense vapor and faces little serious competition even years after its market launch.

Your personal focus will decide the battle of the giants. Opt for the Venty for extreme airflow and lightning-fast heating for everyday use. The Mighty+, on the other hand, remains the favorite for maximum battery life and rugged outdoor use. Both models deliver excellent flavor, but the adjustable airflow on the newer device noticeably alters the vaping experience. Carefully consider your priorities before buying.

Cleanliness ensures long-lasting enjoyment. Use compatible products. Vapotools by 157Grad gold-plated dosing capsule compatible with Mighty, Mighty+, and Crafty+ to keep the herb chamber permanently clean. This saves you a lot of time cleaning the complex cooling unit. It also elegantly prevents common mistakes like overfilling. A quick dip of the parts in isopropanol quickly removes sticky residue and maintains unobstructed airflow.

Solid performance without drama: XMax V4 Pro and Arizer Solo 2 Mystic Blue in practice

In everyday use, you'll immediately notice the different philosophies of these two vaporizers. The sleek XMax V4 Pro, thanks to true convection and three adjustable airflow levels, delivers intense on-demand vapor for quick breaks. In contrast, the Arizer Solo 2 Max Mystic Blue remains the king of comfort, allowing you to enjoy cool, intensely flavorful vapor through its long glass mouthpiece. While the XMax disappears into any pocket, the Solo 2 Max requires a bit more space but rewards you with legendary battery life.

Don't let looks alone sway you when buying. The Mystic Blue Edition is stylish, but technically it offers the familiar, solid Arizer fare, just like the Arizer Solo 2 Max Carbon Black. The V4 Pro, on the other hand, is a true evolution and offers noticeable added value: The replaceable 18650 battery and the clever 2-in-1 glass mouthpiece with a 14mm water filter adapter make it extremely versatile. If you choose the XMax, you're buying modern versatility; with the Arizer, you're investing in proven reliability in a new guise.

These universal settings will help you immediately, so you don't have to experiment for long, but can directly draw dense clouds from the convection chamber or glass tube.

Here's how to optimize your setup

• Grind your herbs to a medium coarseness using a grinder so that the hot air can circulate well in the XMax.

• Fill the chamber loosely and never press the material down firmly.

• Use Session mode on the V4 Pro for relaxed vaping, and On-Demand mode for quick hits.

• Start at 180 degrees for full aroma and gradually increase the temperature.

• Open the airflow control on the XMax completely for the lowest possible draw resistance.

• Inhale slowly and evenly directly into your lungs, especially with the Solo 2 Max.

• Empty the chamber immediately after the session, while it is still warm.

The living room upgrade you can truly feel: Volcano Evergreen as a home setup

The Volcano Evergreen brings a fresh splash of color to your living room, but technically remains the tried-and-tested Storz & Bickel Volcano Hybrid vaporizer. Storz & Bickel has given the desktop vaporizer an elegant green finish, but hasn't altered the perfect technology inside. You get the same lightning-fast heat-up time and precise control as with its predecessor. Those who appreciate a modern aesthetic will opt for the Evergreen, while purists will stick with the classic look.

At home, this powerhouse truly shines when you're looking for maximum vapor production and pure convenience. It effortlessly handles long sessions with friends, thanks to its intuitive touchscreen operation and uninterrupted vapor supply. This investment is worthwhile if consistent quality and certain standards are more important to you than quick portability.

In practice, you have the choice between the classic balloon for freedom of movement around the room and the hose for relaxed draws right at the table. Cleaning the removable parts is straightforward with a little rubbing alcohol. Get a chamber reducer so you can efficiently vaporize even small amounts of herbs.

Simply start vaping, without a lot of technical know-how: Frolic Vaporizer as an alternative with character

Sometimes technology is just annoying and you simply want to relax. This is precisely where the Limelight Frolic Thermal Extractor shines as a charming alternative to the overly sophisticated, high-tech vaporizers of 2026. Its strengths lie in its intuitive simplicity, even if you do have to make slight compromises in terms of vapor density compared to expensive market leaders. It's perfect for you if you're looking for an uncomplicated companion without the need for apps or complex menus.

In everyday use, the simple operation is a real plus, as usually a single button is all it takes. The vapor production is surprisingly pleasant and smooth, while the battery reliably lasts you all day. Maintenance is also hassle-free, thanks to the simple design and the ability to remove residue in just a few steps. You simply enjoy the experience instead of spending hours cleaning.

These practical tips will help you immediately so that everything works perfectly on the first move and you avoid typical beginner mistakes.

This is how you solve small problems

• After the heating signal, let the device rest for 15 to 20 seconds for denser steam.

• For maximum performance, it's better to forgo inserts and fill the chamber directly.

• Use existing Vapotools by 157Grad stainless steel screw-on dosing capsules & dosing capsule container for Mighty+ only if cleanliness is more important to you than optimal airflow.

• Pull gently and evenly to keep the temperature in the chamber stable.

Special Edition with meaning or just beautiful: Golden Relic - how to fairly evaluate it

Limited to 2000 units, the Norddampf RELiCT Golden Saga Special Edition combines Nordic aesthetics with a wealth of features. The bundle includes not only the device itself, finished in stylish Runic Gold with grippy faux leather, but also a high-quality grinder, a capsule caddy, and a bubbler. Here you're buying real added value for your ritual, instead of just spending money on a pretty casing.

Beneath its golden exterior, dual heating and Intellisense sensors ensure dense vapor. Its practical value is impressive, as the included accessory package saves you money and the device is even compatible with Vapotools by 157Grad herb capsules. Choose this model if you want an exclusive collector's item among the 2026 vaporizer innovations that delivers top-notch technical performance.

Take care to protect the special finish while you're out and about, so it doesn't get scratched. Consistently use the caddy for clean changes and regularly clean the glass mouthpiece. This will help you maintain the shine and hygiene of your limited-edition companion.

More control, more ritual: Dynavap The VongX for those who like it mechanical.

Even in 2026, the Dynavap VongX proves that true innovation doesn't need electronics. This purely mechanical vaporizer, made of titanium and stainless steel, operates entirely without a battery, making it extremely durable and independent. With its scratch-resistant DuraDyn two-tone finish, you hold a virtually indestructible tool in your hand, one that deliberately forgoes fragile software and relies instead on pure physics.

Your first few puffs will require some practice. Never ignore the click of the captive cap , or your herbs will burn. The solid tip retains heat perfectly for strong extractions, while you can easily control the airflow by rotating the mouthpiece. Thanks to the Adjust-a-Bowl function, you can also save material by simply halving the chamber size for microdosing.

The VongX truly shines when used with water filters, as it natively fits both 10 mm and 14 mm joints. For absolutely consistent results, an induction heater like the Ispire The Wand is recommended. Those who prefer a more traditional approach can use a jet lighter, rotating the device continuously. This transforms each session into a reliable, almost meditative ritual.

Comparison: Mechanical vs. Electrical

Conclusion: Here's how to make the right choice for your vaporizer in minutes.

For those seeking true technological leaps, the XMax V4 Pro is the way to go, or you can wait for the PAX 4. If you're more interested in a fresh look with a generous range of accessories, the Golden Relict or the Volcano Evergreen will make you happy. For ultimate portability, the upcoming PAX New Mini remains an exciting option, while those who prefer to enjoy their scooter at home will be best served by the Venty, Veazy , or Volcano. Purists will find their mechanical bliss in the Dynavap VongX.

Analyze your usage patterns honestly before clicking. An expensive device is useless if it's too complicated for your everyday needs. After purchase, always start with an empty "burn-off" at maximum heat to remove any manufacturing residue. Keep rubbing alcohol and wipes on hand, such as... LimPuro King Wipes XL cleansing wipes are ready to help make skincare a routine in the first week.

Many of these highlights can already be found in our 157Grad shop, either now or right from the start.
