PAX Launches Aurora Burst, a Limited Edition FOUR Colorway Inspired by the Pursuit of Wonder

New release celebrates exploration, curiosity and the moments worth chasing with an adventure-inspired sweepstakes

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inspired by one of nature’s most extraordinary displays, PAX today unveiled Aurora Burst, the first limited-edition colorway for PAX FOUR, recently dubbed the “best loose-leaf vaporizer on the market” by WIRED.

Finished in a striking turquoise-to-lime gradient on brushed aluminum reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis, Aurora Burst was created for those who believe life's best moments are often found beyond the familiar. The first glimpse of the Northern Lights. A winding road that leads somewhere unexpected. The stars revealing themselves one by one after the campfire burns low. The moments that change the way we see the world.

To celebrate the launch, PAX is gifting one lucky winner the ultimate Aurora Burst adventure package: a $2,500 Under Canvas gift card, up to $1,500 toward airfare, and a limited-edition Aurora Burst PAX FOUR. No purchase is necessary to enter, and contest terms and conditions can be found at pax.com.

"Aurora Burst represents something that’s always been true for PAX. We’ve never believed cannabis should be the destination, it should simply make the journey more meaningful,” said Chris Ahern, CEO of PAX. “It’s part of the ritual that surrounds life’s best experiences—not the reason for them. The quiet moment after the hike. Stories shared around a campfire. Catching one last wave before sunset. Aurora Burst is a reminder to chase those moments, stay curious, and appreciate the journey that gets you there.”

Unlike smoking, PAX devices gently heat cannabis instead of burning it. A recent PAX study found that vaporizing cannabis reduced exposure to harmful combustion byproducts—including benzene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde—by up to 99% compared to smoking a joint. More information is available at pax.com/science.

The new PAX FOUR delivers a high-output hybrid heating that produces 50% more vapor and faster heat-up than any previous PAX dry herb device. Four preset heat modes with patented temperature control allow users to tailor intensity — from quick, high-impact sessions to longer, more sustained experiences — without compromising flavor or cannabinoid performance.

Pocket-sized by design, PAX FOUR was made to travel lightly and live fully. Aurora Burst is available beginning August 4, 2026, exclusively at pax.com for US $250, Canada C$350, Europe €230 (VAT included; final pricing varies by country based on applicable VAT) and UK £198 (VAT included), while supplies last. PAX FOUR is also available year-round in Onyx and Greenstone, alongside FLOW and MINI, completing the company's premium dry herb lineup.
