XMAX V4 Pro Vaporizer

Introduction

The XMAX V4 Pro Vaporizer is the next-generation upgrade to the hugely successful XMAX V3 Pro, one of the most popular mid range dry herb vaporizers ever released. Known for delivering impressive convection performance at an affordable price, the V3 Pro quickly became a favourite among both beginners and experienced users looking for reliable portable vaping without a premium price tag.

With the V4 Pro, XMAX has refined and upgraded the formula in several meaningful ways. Featuring adjustable airflow, upgraded build quality, faster heat-up times, improved ergonomics, and enhanced vapour performance, the V4 Pro feels like a more polished and versatile evolution of the original.

Combining true convection heating with both session and on-demand functionality, the XMAX V4 Pro offers exceptional flexibility in a compact and highly portable design, making it one of the strongest value-for-money portable vaporizers currently available.

Build Quality & Design

The XMAX V4 Pro features a sleek pen-style design with a minimalist matte finish that feels modern, discreet, and surprisingly premium for its price point. Measuring approximately 2.5 × 2.5 × 16 cm, the device remains compact enough for everyday portability while still feeling solid and durable in the hand.

Compared to the V3 Pro, the V4 Pro introduces several subtle but noticeable improvements in overall build quality. The shell feels sturdier, the buttons are more responsive, and the twist-off battery cap offers a more secure solution than traditional magnetic battery doors.

The front-facing OLED colour display clearly shows:

• Current temperature
• Target temperature
• Heating mode
• Battery level

Meanwhile, the side-mounted USB-C charging port allows the vaporizer to stand upright while charging for added convenience.

Full Convection Heating Technology

At the core of the XMAX V4 Pro is its full convection heating system. Rather than heating herbs through direct contact with hot surfaces like conduction vaporizers, the V4 Pro pushes heated air evenly through the chamber for cleaner, more efficient extraction.

Benefits of convection heating include:

• Better flavour preservation
• More even extraction
• Improved herb efficiency
• Reduced combustion risk
• Smoother vapour production

The isolated airpath ensures vapour only comes into contact with the ceramic chamber and glass mouthpiece, helping maintain flavour purity throughout each session.

The V4 Pro also heats up impressively quickly, reaching temperatures up to 220°C in roughly 11 seconds before vibrating to indicate it’s ready to use.

Adjustable Airflow Control

One of the standout features of the XMAX V4 Pro is its integrated three-level adjustable airflow system, allowing users to customise draw resistance and vapour density to match their personal preference.

The airflow slider offers:

• Open airflow for cooler, smoother draws
• Medium airflow for balanced vapour production
• Restricted airflow for warmer, denser hits

Because convection vaporizers rely on heated airflow for extraction, airflow control has a major impact on vapour quality and overall session style. The addition of adjustable airflow gives the V4 Pro significantly more versatility than the previous V3 Pro.

Session & On-Demand Modes

The XMAX V4 Pro offers both Session Mode and On-Demand Mode, giving users greater flexibility depending on how they prefer to vape.

Session Mode

The device maintains temperature continuously for either 4 or 6 minutes, making it ideal for longer relaxed sessions.

On-Demand Mode

Heating only occurs while holding the power button, with a 30-second limit per press. This is perfect for quick hits, conserving herb, or flavour-focused sessions.

Having both heating styles in a single portable vaporizer makes the V4 Pro incredibly versatile for a wide range of users.

Water Pipe Compatibility

The magnetic glass mouthpiece on the XMAX V4 Pro also functions as a built-in water pipe adapter, fitting both 14mm and 18mm glass joints directly without requiring additional accessories.

Using the V4 Pro with a bubbler or bong helps:

• Cool the vapour
• Smooth harsh draws
• Improve comfort at high temperatures
• Increase vapour production

The OLED display even flips orientation automatically when the device is inverted during water pipe use, making temperature monitoring simple while connected to glass.

Users familiar with the V3 Pro will also be pleased to know that many V3 Pro mouthpieces and accessories remain cross-compatible with the V4 Pro.

Battery Performance & Charging

Powering the XMAX V4 Pro is a removable 2550mAh 18650 battery, providing excellent portability and flexibility for users who vape regularly throughout the day.

The removable battery system allows users to:

• Swap batteries instantly
• Extend sessions indefinitely
• Reduce charging downtime
• Carry spare batteries while travelling

USB-C fast charging comes as standard, while intelligent standby mode helps preserve battery life between sessions.

For users wanting even longer battery performance, higher-capacity compatible 18650 batteries can also be used.

Ease of Use & Maintenance

Despite its advanced features, the XMAX V4 Pro remains highly beginner-friendly and easy to operate.

Using the device is simple:

• Remove the mouthpiece and load the chamber
• Triple-click the power button to turn on
• Adjust temperature using the controls
• Wait roughly 11 seconds for heating
• Draw and enjoy

The included dosing capsule also makes loading faster while helping keep the chamber cleaner during regular use.

Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only occasional brushing and periodic cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to maintain airflow and flavour quality. The mouthpiece fully disassembles for deeper cleaning when needed.

XMAX V4 Pro vs XMAX V3 Pro

The XMAX V3 Pro remains one of the best-value convection vaporizers available, and the V4 Pro builds directly on that success while refining nearly every aspect of the experience.

Both devices feature full convection heating, removable 18650 batteries, compact portability, and impressive vapour quality for their price range. However, the V4 Pro introduces several important upgrades including adjustable airflow control, a built-in water pipe adapter, improved build quality, a colour OLED display, side-mounted USB-C charging, faster heating performance, and more refined overall ergonomics.

While the V3 Pro still performs exceptionally well, the V4 Pro feels noticeably more polished, versatile, and premium in everyday use.

XMAX V4 Pro vs XMAX Starry V4

Although both devices come from XMAX and sit within a similar price category, the XMAX V4 Pro and XMAX Starry V4 deliver very different vaping experiences due to their heating systems.

The Starry V4 uses conduction heating, where herbs sit directly against heated surfaces to produce denser, punchier vapour with strong extraction. The V4 Pro, on the other hand, uses full convection heating, where hot air passes evenly through the herbs for cleaner flavour, smoother vapour, and more efficient extraction.

The V4 Pro also heats significantly faster at around 11 seconds, while adding adjustable airflow control, on-demand functionality, and native water pipe compatibility through its glass mouthpiece. The Starry V4 remains an excellent option for users who prefer stronger conduction-style sessions and simpler operation, while the V4 Pro is better suited for users prioritising flavour quality, airflow customisation, and overall versatility.
