I've had my PAX for 7 months now and it's still going strong. I get the temp light issue every 2-5 ovens, but cleaning with an alcohol moistened pipe cleaner has always solved that issue.
I took it skiing here in Colorado several times this year and it's very important to keep the PAX warm or...
I have some dental brushes that look like this:
I know it's best to clean the PAX while it's still hot, but I'm worried about the bristles melting upon contact with the metal. Am I wrong to be worried?
It's been almost a month, and every problem I've had has been easily remedied by a quick...
Good point. One would have to make sure that the nylon is rated for the PAX's temperatures. (above 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit).
EDIT: according to wikipedia's "nylon" article, there are varieties of nylon capable of 660 F (350 C), although I'm not sure if pipe cleaners are made with a high...

I feel like this should've been included with the PAX. So simple, yet so useful!
We need to compile a PAX FAQ/Tips/Common Issues list that we can just refer people to. I read through the whole thread, but I'm sure many people just aren't willing to do that.
If you're big on discreetness and have the money, why not? The Solo is not discreet.
If $250 isn't much to you, you won't regret it even if you enjoy hitting your Solo more.
