XMax Vaporizer Guide: V4 Pro, Starry 4, Ace & Co. Compared
Which XMax Vaporizer is right for you? All models tested
Looking for the XMax V3 Pro? Here is what you should know
The XMax V3 Pro was one of the most popular portable Vaporizers ever for years – accordingly, the XMax V3 Pro Vaporizer is still frequently searched for. If you are considering it, here is the important context: Its direct successor is the XMax V4 Pro. It continues the proven concept and improves it in several areas.
Explained briefly: convection and conduction with XMax
To make the device descriptions below easier to understand, here is the key difference in the XMax range in one sentence: With conduction, your material rests against a hot chamber wall – this is fast and produces strong vapor. With convection, hot air flows through the herbs without touching them directly – this is considered especially aromatic and even.
- Convection: the V4 Pro – purer, more aromatic vapor, with plenty of airflow control.
- Conduction (ceramic): Starry 4 and Ace – quick to heat up, powerful, with a high maximum temperature of up to 240 °C.
- Compact conduction: V3 Nano and OONT Pro – simple, small, affordable.
- Most control & convection (V3 Pro successor): V4 Pro – dual mode, adjustable airflow, replaceable battery.
- Most features for the money: Starry 4 – ceramic chamber up to 240 °C, replaceable battery, zirconium mouthpiece.
- Easy cleaning: Ace – patented self-emptying, also suitable for concentrates.
- Affordable & compact: V3 Nano and OONT Pro – discreet pocket devices for beginners.
XMax V4 Pro: the flagship and successor to the V3 Pro
The XMax V4 Pro is the brand’s most versatile device and the latest generation of its renowned Pro series. It combines pure convection with an unusual amount of control: two operating modes, adjustable airflow, a replaceable battery, and a glass mouthpiece with an integrated water filter adapter. If you’re looking for an XMax V4 Pro Vaporizer with plenty of features in a slim pen format, you’ve come to the right place.
Pure convection, ready in around 11 seconds
With the V4 Pro, your material is vaporized by a heated stream of air without direct contact with the heating source—ensuring even heat and flavorful vapor. The air path is separated from the electronics, keeping the draw consistent. With a heat-up time of around 11 seconds, it is one of the fastest devices available.
Session or On-Demand—two operating modes
The dual mode covers two usage styles: In Session mode, the device automatically maintains the temperature for 4 or 6 minutes—ideal for relaxed sessions. In On-Demand mode, it heats only while you hold down the button—great for individual draws and economical material use. It also features three-stage adjustable airflow, allowing you to adapt the draw resistance to the grind size and filling amount.
Glass mouthpiece with water filter and replaceable battery
Set the temperature precisely from 100 to 220 °C; the 0.96-inch color display shows the temperature, battery level, and mode. The included glass mouthpiece also serves as a 14 mm water filter adapter (the rim is also compatible with an 18 mm joint)—use with a bong without additional accessories. The 18650 battery (2550 mAh) is replaceable and charges via USB-C.
- Heating system: pure convection, isolated air path · Heat-up time: approx. 11 sec
- Modes: Session (4/6 min) & On-Demand · Airflow: adjustable in three stages

XMax Starry 4: the most features for your money
The XMax Starry 4 is the all-rounder in the range and offers an unusually extensive feature set for its price: a ceramic heating chamber, temperatures up to 240 °C, adjustable airflow, a magnetic zirconium mouthpiece, and a replaceable battery. It uses conduction heating and is suitable for herbs as well as resins.
Ceramic chamber and temperature up to 240 °C
The ceramic heating chamber heats your material evenly and adds no unwanted flavors, which benefits the taste. The temperature range of 100 to 240 °C reaches higher than that of many comparable devices, making the Starry 4 interesting for resins as well. It heats up in around 15 seconds.
Simple controls, replaceable battery, zirconium mouthpiece
It is operated using three buttons. An OLED display shows the temperature, battery level, and session timer, while vibration feedback indicates when the target temperature has been reached and when sleep mode is activated. The magnetic zirconium mouthpiece can be removed and unfolded with one hand. The 18650 battery (2600 mAh) can be replaced in seconds via the bottom cap—ideal for use on the go.

XMax Ace: the Vaporizer that empties its chamber by itself
The XMax Ace stands out from almost all devices in its class thanks to one feature: a patented self-emptying function. It also features a ceramic heating chamber, a fully isolated airpath, a zirconium mouthpiece, and a replaceable battery—and is suitable for herbs as well as concentrates.
Empty the chamber in one movement
The standout feature is located on the front: a slider button raises the bottom of the herb chamber and pushes out the spent material. No tapping it out, no poking, no baked-on residue—a single movement is all it takes. Anyone who has ever scraped out a cooled-down chamber knows how much of a difference this makes in everyday use.
Up to 255 °C in Boost mode, also suitable for concentrates
Set the temperature precisely from 100 to 240 °C, or up to 255 °C in Boost mode—useful at the end of a session or for concentrates. A concentrate container is included, so you can use herbs and waxes straight out of the box. The swiveling ceramic mouthpiece is held in place by strong magnets, and the filter can be removed for cleaning. The 18650 battery (2600 mAh) is replaceable.
- Special feature: patented self-emptying via slider button
- Heating system: conduction, ceramic chamber, 100% isolated air path

Compact & affordable: V3 Nano, OONT Pro, and XVape Fog Pro
Not everyone needs the full package. For an easy introduction or a particularly small secondary device, XMax offers several compact options.
XMax V3 Nano – small, discreet, affordable
The XMax V3 Nano is the most affordable and compact device in the range—a discreet pocket Vaporizer for short sessions that you can carry inconspicuously. To be clear: the vapor path is shorter, cooling is more limited, and the chamber is smaller than on the larger models. In return, it is quick to start, uncomplicated, and ideal when size and price are the priorities.
XMax OONT Pro – very small, easy to use
The XMax OONT Pro is also a very small, straightforward device with a flexible chamber concept and simple operation. It is a good fit if you are looking for a minimalist device for occasional use and do not want menus or an app.
XVape Fog Pro – focus on airflow
The XVape Fog Pro comes from XMax’s sister brand XVape and is aimed at users who place greater value on airflow, chamber access, and controlled herb sessions. A solid herb device for anyone who wants to vape mindfully without opting for the largest model.
- V3 Nano (€45): the most affordable, most compact pocket vaporizer, available in several colors, for short sessions
- OONT Pro (€49): very small, easy to use, with a flexible chamber concept
- XVape Fog Pro (€89): Focus on airflow and chamber access for controlled herb sessions
XMax accessories & replacement parts: Keep the flavor and draw clean
With portable vaporizers, it is often not the device that ruins a session, but a dirty small part. If the draw becomes more difficult or the flavor becomes duller, the cause is usually the mouthpiece, screen, or filter. Because XMax devices are modular and replacement parts are readily available, you can refresh individual parts instead of replacing the entire device.
Accessories for V3 Pro and V4 Pro
Practical for those switching models: Accessories for the Pro series are largely shared and marketed under “V3 / V4 Pro”. So if you are looking for XMax V3 Pro accessories or an XMax V3 Pro mouthpiece, you will find them here—from the glass mouthpiece and the glass bubbler to the complete mouthpiece set, the screen set, the replacement battery cell, and the wax cup for concentrates.
- Glass mouthpiece & bubbler: A glass mouthpiece provides especially clear flavor, while the glass bubbler cools and filters the vapor with water—exactly what many people are looking for when they search for an XMax V3 Pro bubbler or V3 Pro glass mouthpiece.
- Mouthpieces by model: Starry 4, Ace, and Fog Pro each have their own mouthpiece units, such as the Starry 4 mouthpiece unit or the Ace mouthpiece unit.
- Screens, filters & O-rings: Wear parts that keep the air path clear and airtight—a fresh screen often makes a bigger difference than a higher temperature.
- Replaceable batteries: Suitable replacement cells are available for all replaceable-battery models—the basis for uninterrupted sessions on the go.
- Dosing capsules & wax cups: Capsules keep the chamber clean and make preparation easier, while wax cups add concentrate compatibility to suitable devices.
