    I didn't see one yet, so why not. Just got mine today. I get pretty high after 4 big hits i've found (which is nothing for how much this thing can keep one oven running for). The vapor reminds me of the extreme q i used to have (R.I.P.) lol. and that's great for me that i don't feel like i'm suffering on vapor quality by buying a portable.

    For the amount i smoke, although i know it's a lot to throw down ($257 total, i ordered from their site w/ usps priority mail, took 2 days :] but apparently with vapeworld.com you get free shipping and a grinder too. so buy it from there as long as that promotion lasts) was worth it for me. I can't let anyone know that I smoke where I am, so I always have to hide it. I used to a lil homemade bong and would go smoke in the woods lol :x but now all my problems are solvedddd and I can smoke during my breaks at work if i want to *happeh face*
    :smoking:



    What is the Pax you may ask?

    EDIT: fml title should say appreciation club. meh i'm high.
     
  2. I currently have the MFLB, but i am dying to get the PAX. Seems like 250 is a bit much to spend on a vape though, so i am waiting for the price to drop.
     
  3. Might be a long wait... They're back ordered at most places. The demand is crazy... you'd think Steve Jobs designed it. It does work really well, so if you decide to spend the cash, you won't be disappointed.

    Of course, you might want to consider the Solo. It's a little bigger, but battery life is much longer and it works just as well.

    Just got my PAX in the mail today and is very satified. I also have a WISPR and 2 MFLB's w/ power adapter and waterpipe adapter and this one really stands out from the rest.

    Just bought a half a O and feel really medicated.Worth every penny if you ask me.

    Thanx Ploom.

  5. Had one over the summer til my bro took it with him to college now I'm contemplating getting one for myself it would be so convenient in my dorm where stealth is so necessary especially cuz my RA is two feet across the hall.

    Sick vape
     
  6. love the pax, it is high maintenance but excellent.
     
  7. I recieved mine 3 days ago an am loving it. I'm getting good vapor on the low setting. I absolutely love this thing! Between this and my volcano I've become quite the aficionado. Lol!
     
  8. I am going insane waiting for mine to arrive. They were sold out everywhere around me, so I had to buy off the net.. :D

    I ordered a blue one.. i got some super dank Pineapple Express sitting in air tight jars waiting to be used...
     
  9. I'm getting one soon I can't wait! 250$ is a lot for it but whatever I can't decide what color to get though probably black or amethyst
     
  10. I just got an extra oven lid that was back ordered for over a month... Still waitting on the extra screens... So if you get one, be careful - replacement parts are cheap, but the wait is a bitch...

  11. I really want to buy one, but all the issues have me leaning towards the solo instead.
     

  12. What issues? I've fed my Pax over 2 ounces and it just keeps on working!

    I clean one every 2 weeks or less :hello:
     
  13. I read the entire 195ish page thread over at FC last night. The issues are with the mouthpieces sticking, the temp button sticking and being located so close to the tube, and the units getting stuck on blue or purple when trying to heat up. Seems like a good percentage of people in that thread have AT LEAST one of these issues. Most have received replacement units and some of those replacements already have the same issues.

    I have no dog in this fight, as I'm trying to decide which portable I want to order (solo/pax). I figure I'd wait out the beta testing and order one when they tweak the design at bit but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
     
  14. Mine does that. It acts like the mouth piece is out and shows the temp setting. If I hold the mouth piece down a bit, it'll heat up and once it's hot, it works awesome.

    I also have a Solo and it's awesome sauce too... Biggest difference is the Pax is self contained and small. You can carry it loaded in your pocket and don't have to hassle with stems when you go to use it. But if stealth isn't your top priority, the Solo is the way to go. Better temp settings, bigger battery and you really don't need to clean the stems if you don't want too...

  15. I have one of these...it's pretty rad. I only take about 3-4 puffs a day so one bowl can last me about a week. However, MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN IT ONCE A WEEK. Otherwise fungus grows inside of it and it is a BEYOTCH to clean.
     
  16. I have had mine for several days now. I am using Pineapple Express, and OG kush at the moment and ran both of them through to see the difference in potency and flavor. The OG Kush is drier than the PE, so I tried that first. (all on the medium temp setting, I did try it on the hottest temp, but I didn't like how quickly it burned through the material. I know some people like that but I prefer a more sweet taste.)

    On start up of the unit it does what it supposed to (the light goes purple while it heats up), the first pull of the Pax has a small cloud of vapor waiting for you. It seems the material burns up a bit at the edges and gives you a small puff just before starting. The pulls are slow, I tried pulling quickly and it does not give you a good toke, but if you go slow and easy, the pulls end up pretty much destroying you. :D

    The OG had a very strong and noticeable Kush taste, while the PE tasted very sweet, and was more resinous. The heat settings are fun to play around with too. For some strange reason on the medium setting to me personally, was the perfect potency. I have an ExtremeQ, and several ROOR's, and this little thing was making me cough like a noob.. maybe I just need to get used to it. :smoking:

    One load of the "oven" and I'm good for a good long while (at least a couple of hours)

    Overall I am very happy with my Pax, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a super stealthy unit, that no one (other than other blazers maybe) will know what it is. Im going shopping right now with my Pax, and I'll know today if anyone notices what the hell I'm doing. :hello:

  18. Does anyone else prefer the taste to all other vapes?
     
  19. YESSSSSSSSSSSS. The taste is insane. :yummy::yummy: I didn't think it would be so much different than my other vapes, but hot dayum it tastes WAY better.. Even if I tempreture match the taste it still sweeter.
     
  20. Does this give off any smell if the "oven" is full with unvaped? or after vaping?
    How much fits in the "oven"? and does it need to be full to work properly or can u just vape a 1/2 full oven?
