    If it heats up well enough, it should be reading the full battery voltage, do you have a voltmeter? You could try charging it to green, then open it up to see if it went to the full 4.2v The other thing is, you mentioned your battery was low when you first got it, if it was too low it might...

    It's a bit counter-intuitive but I think you need a hotter iron, usually when the joint breaks it's because it didn't get hot enough and different areas of the solder never fully bonded. You can make a good connection quickly if your iron is hot enough, and because you do it quickly you don't...

    Soldering to batteries is tricky, you need flux and a good iron. Preferably adjustable, and you want to turn your iron all the way up. You have to solder in cycles, you can only keep the iron on the battery for a second or two before you start transferring too much heat, so you need make sure...

    Protected ones are meant for flashlights and other less "sophisticated" devices, they have the built in low battery cut-off but that makes them longer. Too long for the Pax... you need an unprotected, bare "cell" but don't worry I think the Pax cuts out at like 3v, a very nice margin

    Underneath the colored shell, the Pax's are exactly the same so it should make zero difference. I don't think we've had any dead on arrivals? Just a few sticky mouthpieces... I actually just experienced this, I was surprised because the ring on my mouthpiece looks clean but sure enough it...

    While cleaning the Pax everyday or everyweek might keep it smelling clean, it will only prevent your mouthpiece "sticking" if the little ring on your mouthpiece gets resin-y. I have figured out the catch and release mechanism of the Pax! If you study the profile of the mouthpiece stem you can...

    I'd call it about even, and yeah I thought so ;) and tbh there are times I pack the Pax too hard and I wish it was more free flowing... I think it's probably what you'd feel if you over-packed the inh capsule. Good point. But I think Inh is based in Canada or another less backwards country...

    Man it just makes me sad to see good people hanging off those very few flukes... then they go off and spend almost $200 on a piece of plastic covered in stickers... In one way I love the Inh if it's convection performance is decent (and it seems like it is) but in another way it feels like...

    If you don't mind me asking, what made the decision for you? Was it the ease of draw? Also, it sounds like the Inh really needs a screen on the bottom to prevent herb getting into the actual unit, but it's not a standard pipe-screen size?

    Ah I see, Ploom must have decided baby powder (or whatever it is) can be used for heat insulation!

    If you unscrew the little screw and slide open your Pax you will find some more white powder inside, probably used to lubricate the seals, so far we think it's baby (talcum) powder. I think we'd all be interested if you hear back from Ploom though!

    Nice to have yet another articulate newcomer! This forum is just fantastic for bringing the inquisitive-types together :tup: While I agree the Pax looks like a "smart device" the fact is, you never have to bring it out when your not vaping! I keep mine in a spot in my room at home, and in my...

    A single-person 0.2-0.3g half-packed bowl will last maybe 6-12 pulls/mouthfuls, but a fully packed Pax will last far longer. I would estimate as many as 20-30 hits from a 0.4-0.7g bowl, and the taste will stay pretty good if you flip the block over after 6-12 pulls. As always, the Pax will be...

    Yeah I didn't mean to come off all pompous, I just love this thing so much I can't bear the thought of anyone being deprived of one... Pax for All! I'm right there with you on the transformer though, I was surprised to see it wasn't an international 110-240v, which isn't hard to do...

    1) When smokum first said that he got a lot of likes by people who don't have Pax's. 2) People who actually have Pax's looked at him like "huh? Pax is the shit!" 3) You've never used a voltage converter? Don't you have anything from the US? Warranties are only voided by things that are...

    It sneaks up on you... it's so smooth you can just keep hitting it like normal... but I think effects are still increasing even after taking pics, editing, and writing all that :spliff:

    The hash got black quickly but the taste stayed pretty consistent, earthy like bubble hash. I'm saving the abv hash and the keif because I'm sure there's tons of thc left and it could have gotten 3-4 people fully medicated if you just kept drawing on it, I just like the taste of flower in the...
