Welcome!
Indeed, as you discovered, most "pen" size vapes cannot vape raw flowers, despite the marketing claims, most simply combust the herbs.
You have the Pax2, that's a great start. I suggest you head over to the Pax2 thread for suggestions on how to achieve optimal performance from the vape (to ensure you're using it correctly).
In regards to your journey with 'bud', I really don't know what to tell you..... every person is different. Cannabis is an amazing plant with many medicinal properties. Some people benefit from low temp vaping, while others prefer/need higher temperatures for sedative and pain relief.
What you need to do is experiment, practice medicating to see where things go. You may find the higher temperatures are unnecessary (undesired?). It is a delayed reaction - wait 10 minutes after vaping to see how you feel before reloading.
If you were combusting occasionally before vaporizing, you may not feel "medicated" for the first few sessions. The key to fucking combustion is to dedicate yourself to vaporizing exclusively for several weeks.

To new Vapers:
"It is only after discovering the answers can we find the questions!"
"You don't know, what you don't know, until you know it."
"If at first you don't succeed, Buy, buy again."

You don't say how much you smoke, but it sounds like it's probably quite a bit. A lot of people have to adjust to vapor, coming off smoking, and if you use a lot the adjustment will be more and may take longer. Stick with vapor only for about a week and see if that doesn't start giving you better results. Also if your tolerance is high, using a portable can make it tougher. If you were at my house and wanted to try vaping, and I knew your tolerance was pretty high, I'd be handing you a big hitting plug-in model that would definitely allow you to feel the effect.

Ooh! Ooh! Jack Margolis* has the answer. Quoting, "The Beginner. Because of the controversy regarding the subject of grass, very little has been discussed about the effects derived from its use, ... because the effects achieved are very subjective and very allusive....The (beginner) may not feel any effect whatsoever...even after smoking (sic) themselves blind, and on good grass, ...Then there is the neophyte who, throughout the entire time...keeps asking, "Well, am I stoned?" Be kind to this person, (who) is reaching out for love."
* A Child's Garden of Grass" Margolis and Richard Clorfene, 1969,1970,1971,1972,1973,1974,1975
Who still uses the word grass? I'm too stoned to remember other slang, like "muggle".

I go where the thrills are
He doesn't use weed at all, until recently when he tried vaping, unsuccessfully. (We chatted a bit in PM and I was trying to give him some help getting vapor out of the P2.) I told him to get his butt over here to Ask FC so the whole Greek chorus could chime in.
My general advice was "relax and enjoy yourself".He's been using a strain of Blue Dream and I told him to try and get four or so decent-sized hits from the P2 and see how he feels, and then add some more hits from there. On one hand, I find it hard to believe that a handful of hits of a strain like BD wouldn't get him high...OTOH I remember smoking five times as a newbie before I got stoned, but of course this was 1976 and the weed was a whole different product then.
So @pfm67, have you had any success since yesterday??

You are a beginner to vaporizing as well as using cannabis. Maybe you have low quality cannabis. Your product needs to be cured well. if you come back to the thread we can have a constructive discussion regarding whatever difficulties you may be having.
Possibly you solved your problem without our help?
Good Times

Let's try this angle ,
What type of effects , were you anticipating to be experiencing ?
and didn't achieve .
ie : increase of appetite , mellow feeling , laughter ?
Can you do it with someone present who can tell you
