Green goes to brown, n that's what I stand for.
Actually, the Pax is more efficient than you think. You are doing something wrong. Try packing a 1/2 oven with finely ground and dry material. Pack it, pack it. Set it on medium. Hit it slow. After a couple hits, turn off, push the load to re-pack (it shrinks initially) and turn it on again.
someone i know uses it throughout their work day, and I'm pretty sure they only go thru 1 ovens worth in that time frame.

I think the Pax is pretty efficient and I do not find it eating my herbs quickly. There must be something you guys must be doing something different.

One thing I like about this forum is being able to look back at history unfolding. There's a narrative of discovery, discouragement, and renewed enthusiasm in these 183 Pax pages. It seems to me that at first there was enormous excitement about the Pax, a new frontier ... but this was followed by weeks of posts about the problems: sticking mouthpieces, faulty temp lights, etc. Dark days. But then, led by a number of great explorers (jamband, willieR, Pakalolo, Dammit, and others) we figured out that it all (apparently) came down to one issue: cleaning. Now it seems that we've figured out how to clean the thing in a reasonable way and all is good again. Very cool! I wonder where the story goes next....

One fully packed oven on low with multiple stirs lasts me an entire work day. On my way home I usually bump it up to medium to get a couple more hits and the rest goes with the ABV stockpile.
 
I'm pretty agitated, had to order a new mouthpiece from vapeworld. I ordered it friday night expecting it to be shipped saturday and have it by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. It ended up not getting shipped saturday and got shipped late today. Expected delivery is friday. Kind of pissed its going to take 6 business days to get to me :bang:

I have a Pax on order and according to the tracking number it has arrived in the UK already! So not long now til i can put this thing through its paces.

I made sure i checked with the dealer that this was a 100v - 240v edition and not some old stock knocking about. Am i right in thinking this is all i need now

Don't want to fry the thing like a few of the horror stories I've read in this thread already!

They probably have it on high from the start. May as well just rip a bowl guys lol

I just feel that I need to start at medium. I don't get much vapor production on low, maybe it's due to me being a higher temp vaper. I have to pack at least .2 to get a good session, and I always finish on High. So one pax session is about .2 for me. In the beginning I was using .25 but I just couldn't sustain that, but that gives even better Clouds.

So to me, the size of the bowl, and the nature of how I vape. I feel I must use it in one sitting. I can't come back to a non-fresh tasting vape pack. Maybe that's my problem.

I try to keep it to 1g a day, but sometimes I go a bit over and can hit 1.5g.

Went to my local smoke shop aka Space Station Glass and they sell the Pax!! Its weird because right after I told them they should sell it he pointed to a sign right in my face that I did not see. Im suprised how much Pax is getting noticed!

I lost my damn screen today at lunch. So sad. :( I had to order two 3 packs. They already shipped though. :)

Tstat lost his screen, and I just asked him about it recently, he mentioned he's still using a standard SS screen he cut to fit the oven, so it's not a total loss, go cut up a screen. :D

Already did it. :D I actually folded one up to make it harder for small pieces to pass through. Works great, but I still need an official screen. I hate that it's not in there.

Yeah.. F* Combustion..
Vaping some good right now. Really learning the curve on this thing. Slow hits is the only way to hit this thing. I also love this because it is easy to click on and click off, when you are done, slide it in your pocket.

Looking to get a hose piece so I can use this with a friends glass piece..

Vape on!

Just got a PAX, loving it! What does everyone use to carry theirs around in (if not just in your pocket that is)?

I've got a nice little open end crocodile pocket knife sheath that holds my PAX perfectly. I'm looking to get an even nicer stingray zippered pouch for it in the very near future. In all honesty, I would love to just have two silicone rubber caps to stick over the ends of the unit.

I have a Peace Pouch from Vapeworld, which is nice and padded. I also use the Ryot case I got with my VG Coil. Both are good.

I have something very similar to this.

it fits my PAX and a doobtube and also a few tools i cary (pen cap and magic flight brush. I use it if I'm going in my car to a friends house but if I'm just walking around I'll just keep it in my pocket.

Deadshort, you think you can spare another chunk of tube? I would be happy to cover shipping! :D


No problem. PM me your addy. I can afford the dollar for shipping.

I did an internet search for plastic and silicone caps and I could find nothing in the shape needed. Several companies offered to make custom pieces, but I only need 2, not 1,000. C'mon Ploom, how about some silicone end caps to seal my Pax? Colors to match all three models would be even better!

I tried the latex glove finger thing, they slid off too easy in my pocket and were too easy to punch holes in, releasing the odors I personally love, but others seem to find the scent upsetting, making them feel the need to call local law enforcement.
 
Dogman,

Lo

Combustion free since '09
Thx Vito!

And thx Jam cause with your picture, I can show how the MF brush tube goes EXACTLY in the gap you are talking about here, and you can push...it's the spring, and you can even extract the spring, clean it, put it back in!

BINGO!!! This post should win a prize ROFL!!

I have the old style LB brush and I extracted my spring...cleaned spring and the area it sits in very well and that solved the fiddly temp light/connection issue I had with one of my Pax. Great tip!! Kudos!

So I had my PAX for about 2 weeks. (Cleaned once) And I now 50% of the time have the problem with the Orange Light/ Purple Light on Powerup, so I decided to post a Low Quality video LOL for all your enjoyment since this thread has been answering questions I was starting to begin to ask myself. Thanks for keeping on topic and making people be credible.
