XMAX V4 Pro Vaporizer

XMAX V4 Pro Dry Herb Vaporizer

The XMAX V4 Pro is a powerful, feature-packed portable dry herb vaporizer that brings premium convection performance to an affordable price point. Building on the hugely successful XMAX V3 Pro, the V4 Pro introduces faster heating, adjustable airflow, an upgraded colour OLED display and a more refined design while retaining the versatility that made its predecessor so popular.

At the heart of the V4 Pro is a full convection heating system, which uses heated air to extract flavour and active compounds from dry herbs. With an advertised heat-up time of approximately 11 seconds, the V4 Pro is ready for use remarkably quickly.

Choose between Session Mode for relaxed 4- or 6-minute sessions and On-Demand Mode for individual draws lasting up to 30 seconds. Combined with three adjustable airflow settings and precision temperature control from 100°C to 220°C, the V4 Pro gives you exceptional control over your vaping experience.

Other improvements include a removable 2550mAh 18650 battery, side-mounted USB-C charging, haptic feedback and a magnetic glass mouthpiece that doubles as a 14mm and 18mm water pipe adapter.

The standard package also includes a dosing capsule and a concentrate cup, adding extra flexibility straight out of the box.

For customers seeking outstanding flavour, fast heating, replaceable batteries and premium features without the premium price tag, the XMAX V4 Pro is one of the strongest-value portable vaporizers available.

Full Convection Heating – Outstanding Flavour and Efficiency

The XMAX V4 Pro uses a full convection heating system, making it particularly appealing to customers who prioritise flavour and efficient extraction.

Unlike conduction vaporizers, which rely primarily on contact between herbs and a hot oven, convection vaporizers heat the air that passes through the material.

When you inhale, hot air travels through the ceramic chamber and extracts compounds from the herbs.

Benefits of Full Convection Heating

Excellent flavour: Heated airflow helps preserve the natural aromatic characteristics of dry herbs.

Efficient extraction: Hot air moves through the loaded material rather than relying mainly on contact with chamber walls.

Reduced unnecessary heating: Particularly beneficial when using On-Demand Mode.

Flexible vapour production: Adjust temperature, airflow and draw speed to influence vapour density.

Consistent performance: Suitable for both short draws and longer sessions.

The V4 Pro combines this heating system with an isolated airpath and glass mouthpiece to provide a clean, flavour-focused vaping experience.

Is Convection Better Than Conduction?

Neither heating method is universally better.

Convection is particularly appealing for flavour and flexible extraction, while conduction devices can offer straightforward, consistent sessions.

For customers who prioritise fast heating and On-Demand use, the V4 Pro's convection system is a major advantage.

Rapid 11-Second Heat-Up

One of the biggest improvements over the V3 Pro is the V4 Pro's rapid heating performance.

XMAX advertises an approximate 11-second heat-up time under suitable conditions.

Actual heating time depends on the selected temperature, battery condition and operating environment.

Why Fast Heating Matters

Less waiting: Start a session quickly.

Convenient On-Demand use: Suitable for shorter heating cycles.

Better portability: Ideal for use when time is limited.

Efficient operation: Avoid unnecessarily long warm-up periods.

Improved everyday usability: Quick heating makes the device easier to incorporate into your routine.

Once the selected temperature is reached, the device vibrates to indicate readiness.

This combination of rapid heating and haptic feedback makes the V4 Pro particularly convenient for everyday use.

Session Mode and On-Demand Mode

The XMAX V4 Pro offers two distinct heating styles, giving it considerably more versatility than session-only vaporizers.

Session Mode

Session Mode maintains the selected temperature throughout a timed session.

Choose between:

• 4-minute sessions
• 6-minute sessions

This mode is ideal for customers who prefer taking several draws from one load over a relaxed period.

Benefits of Session Mode

Convenient operation: The heater maintains temperature automatically.

Relaxed sessions: No need to hold a button during every draw.

Consistent extraction: Suitable for gradually increasing temperature.

Flexible duration: Choose between two session lengths.

On-Demand Mode

On-Demand Mode activates heating while the button is held, with a maximum heating period of approximately 30 seconds per activation.

This allows users to take shorter draws without committing to a full timed session.

Benefits of On-Demand Mode

Quick individual draws: Heat the chamber only when needed.

Better control: Decide when heating starts and stops.

Reduced unnecessary cooking: Useful when taking breaks between draws.

Flexible dosing: Suitable for smaller quantities and shorter sessions.

Convenient portability: Particularly useful when away from home.

Which Mode Should You Choose?

Choose Session Mode if you prefer relaxed, continuous use.

Choose On-Demand Mode if you want shorter heating cycles and more control over when the herbs are heated.

Having both modes is one of the main reasons we recommend the V4 Pro over many similarly priced vaporizers.

Three-Level Adjustable Airflow

The V4 Pro introduces an integrated three-level airflow adjustment system.

This is one of the most meaningful upgrades over the XMAX V3 Pro.

The airflow slider allows you to change draw resistance without replacing the mouthpiece or modifying the chamber.

Open Airflow

A more open setting allows air to move through the device with less resistance.

This can produce a cooler, more comfortable draw.

It is particularly useful for customers who prefer longer inhalations.

Medium Airflow

The middle setting provides a balance between draw resistance and vapour concentration.

For many users, this is an excellent everyday starting point.

Restricted Airflow

A more restricted setting provides a tighter draw.

Depending on temperature and inhalation technique, this can produce warmer, more concentrated vapour.

Why Airflow Control Matters

Because the V4 Pro uses convection heating, airflow plays an important role in extraction.

The ability to adjust draw resistance gives users more flexibility over flavour, vapour temperature and overall comfort.

We recommend starting with medium airflow and experimenting from there.

Precision Temperature Control: 100°C–220°C

The XMAX V4 Pro offers digital temperature adjustment from 100°C to 220°C (212°F–428°F).

This allows users to fine-tune heating according to their preferences.

Suggested Dry Herb Temperatures

These ranges are general starting points, not fixed rules.

The best temperature depends on the material, grind consistency, packing density and draw technique.

Why Start at a Lower Temperature?

Lower temperatures generally favour lighter vapour and more delicate aromatic characteristics.

Gradually increasing the temperature can help extract more from the same load.

For beginners, we recommend starting around 180°C before experimenting with higher settings.

Colour OLED Display and Haptic Feedback

The XMAX V4 Pro features an upgraded colour OLED display that provides clear information during operation.

Display Information

• Current temperature
• Selected target temperature
• Heating mode
• Battery level
• Relevant session information

The colour display is a significant visual improvement over the V3 Pro's earlier interface.

Haptic Feedback

The device vibrates when it reaches the selected temperature.

This makes it easier to know when the vaporizer is ready without constantly checking the screen.

Automatic Display Inversion

When the V4 Pro is turned upside down for water pipe use, the display automatically changes orientation.

This is especially useful when connecting the device to a bubbler through its integrated glass mouthpiece adapter.

Glass Mouthpiece with Built-In Water Pipe Compatibility

The XMAX V4 Pro features a magnetic glass mouthpiece designed for flavour, easy maintenance and compatibility with water pipes.

Unlike vaporizers that require a separate adapter, the V4 Pro's standard glass mouthpiece can connect directly to compatible 14mm and 18mm glass joints.

Benefits of the Glass Mouthpiece

Excellent flavour: Glass provides a relatively neutral vapour pathway.

Easy cleaning: Removable components simplify maintenance.

Magnetic connection: Convenient attachment and removal.

Water pipe compatibility: Connect directly to compatible glassware.

Versatile operation: Switch between direct inhalation and water-cooled vapour.

Using the V4 Pro with a Bubbler

Remove any protective caps from the mouthpiece.

Load the chamber with dry herbs or a compatible dosing capsule.

Connect the glass mouthpiece to a suitable 14mm or 18mm water pipe.

Select your preferred temperature and heating mode.

Allow the device to reach temperature.

Inhale gently through the water pipe.

Benefits of Water Filtration

Additional cooling: Water can help reduce vapour temperature.

Comfortable inhalation: Particularly useful at higher temperatures.

Flexible setup: Switch between direct use and a bubbler.

No separate WPA required: The standard mouthpiece provides the connection.

Important Precautions

Avoid forcing glass joints together.

Keep water away from the vaporizer's electronics.

Support the device securely when inverted.

Allow hot components to cool before removing them.

Please note: A water bubbler is not included in the standalone V4 Pro package. It is included in the separate DopeVapes V4 Pro Bundle.

Removable 2550mAh 18650 Battery

The V4 Pro is powered by a removable 2550mAh 18650 lithium-ion battery.

This is a major advantage over vaporizers with sealed batteries.

Benefits of a Removable Battery

Long-term ownership: Replace an ageing battery without replacing the device.

Convenient spares: Carry a suitable spare battery in a protective case.

Reduced downtime: Swap batteries rather than waiting for a recharge.

Flexible charging: Use the built-in USB-C port or a suitable compatible external charger.

Practical everyday use: Particularly useful for regular users.

Can You Use a Higher-Capacity 18650 Battery?

A compatible replacement battery may offer different capacity characteristics, but not every 18650 cell is suitable for the V4 Pro.

Always use a battery that meets the manufacturer's electrical and safety requirements.

Do not assume that a higher advertised mAh rating automatically makes a battery compatible.

Battery Safety

Never carry loose lithium-ion batteries alongside metal objects.

Use a suitable protective battery case.

Do not use damaged or swollen cells.

Check the battery wrapping before installation.

Follow the manufacturer's polarity and charging instructions.

The removable battery is one of the strongest reasons to choose the V4 Pro for long-term ownership.

USB-C Charging and Improved Battery Compartment

The V4 Pro includes a side-mounted USB-C charging port.

This allows the vaporizer to remain upright while connected to a charging cable.

Why Side-Mounted USB-C Is Useful

Convenient charging: No need to lay the device flat.

Modern connection: Uses USB-C rather than Micro-USB.

Improved ergonomics: Easier to connect the cable.

Portable practicality: Convenient for charging at home or while travelling.

This helps improve the overall feel and practicality of the device.

Included Stainless Steel Dosing Capsule

The standalone XMAX V4 Pro includes one dosing capsule.

This is an important feature because it allows customers to experience capsule-based loading without buying additional accessories.

Benefits of Dosing Capsules

Convenient loading: Prepare herbs before a session.

Cleaner chamber: Herbs remain contained inside the capsule.

Easy swapping: Replace a used capsule with a prepared one.

Consistent quantities: Useful for repeatable loads.

Reduced cleaning: Helps prevent residue accumulating directly inside the oven.

How to Use a Dosing Capsule

Open the capsule.

Fill it with a suitable quantity of dry herbs.

Avoid overpacking.

Close the capsule securely.

Can You Buy Additional Dosing Capsules?

Yes.

For customers who regularly use dosing capsules, the separate five-capsule set with stainless steel storage tube is a worthwhile upgrade.

It allows multiple sessions to be prepared in advance and makes transporting capsules more convenient.

Please note: The standalone V4 Pro includes one dosing capsule, not the five-capsule storage set supplied with the DopeVapes Bundle.

Included Concentrate Cup – Occasional Extract Compatibility

The standalone XMAX V4 Pro also includes a concentrate cup, sometimes called a wax cup or extract capsule.

This accessory allows the device to accommodate suitable concentrates without placing sticky material directly into the ceramic dry herb chamber.

Benefits of the Concentrate Cup

Additional versatility: Supports occasional compatible concentrate use.

Chamber protection: Helps contain sticky material.

Convenient loading: Removable accessory for separate preparation.

Simpler maintenance: Reduces direct residue buildup inside the herb oven.

How to Use the Concentrate Cup
