Discontinued Pax 2

[Cannabis-Hardware-Ed]

Anybody use the newvape "finer grind" grinder? Also, is it supposed to be a finishing grinder or can I put finger torn herbs in it? Also, has anybody tried turning on their p2 while leaving the caps from 3d studios on? Apprently covering just the bottom reduces the smell during warm up but just wanted a second opinion. Thanks people!

The Fine level grinder isn't a finishing grinder, you can load it with whatever you have. We just kept the tolerances as tight as possible to cut as much and as often as possible. Our grinders are a bit unique, designed for 1-2 flowers at a time with no kief catcher. We made them super wide so those with weaker hands can still get great torque.

I have one of them, works very well......

This is the first sentence of the product's description,
"This grinder has been designed, and optimized to produce a very fine grind for vaporizers; truly a finishing grinder."

fwiw @collegeKid101 I see that your concern was about whether you would need a coarser grinder or just fingers to prep flower to go into this grinder. NewVape says you can stuff it in there, so in that sense I can see why he's not calling it a finishing grinder, which might need pre-grinding (I guess). But I find the description of finishing grinder and think 'fine' grind.

I'm not doubting whether the NewVape grinders work well; they look beautiful.

My personal preference is for a grinder that has a reservoir that product falls in to.
Pax2 works well with a medium-to-fine grind. Not so fine that solids go up the vapor path! If you like to stir mid-bowl, the grind can be a bit coarser.

I just meant that you didn't need to pre-grind... but I stand correct as our description does state its a finishing grinder.

Thanks for clearing that up, that was my main concern as this would be my first and only grinder until the day it breaks lol

Just received confirmation from Pax that they are replacing my year old Pax2 for free...had an issue with it not powering up after multiple pushes on the power button.....worked sometimes after multiple pushes. Fine example of registering your new vape!! Thanks Pax! Excellent communication from them, sent me shipping label, etc etc.....turn around in less than 2 weeks.

I have had this for a month, I love this thing

 

[collegeKid101]

I've read pretty much every page on this forum but still a little unclear about one thing lol, does the NewVape pusher/screen trick serve another purpose besides eliminating the need for stirring? Can I still get medicated with smaller half-oven loads without this trick or does it needs these to be effective? Sorry if this question has already been addressed!

I don't stir very often if ever with the pax2. My pusher is used to just keep the meds in place for smaller loads. I've had luck as well with just tamping it snugly with out the pusher. But, the pusher makes that easier after a few pulls and the meds are cooked dry. I prefer using the pusher and always use 1/2 oven loads

I don't have any of the NewVape products. I use the folded screen over a well-tamped load -- generally 1/3 to 1/2 oven. I absolutely get medicated with my smaller loads.

I believe @Ojan_at_PAX never uses an accessory for smaller loads. He just tamps it down. I have always used some sort of spacer because I never fill the oven. I have used a folded screen but prefer the pusher. But both work. And I never need to stir.

Regarding the NewVape screen (I think they sell it as a "sandwich" with the pusher), I don't think the reviews have been as good as just using the pusher alone with the pax2 stock screen. I just have the pusher.

Hope this helps!

It's not optimal if material can swirl around in the bowl, so either the pusher or taco screen can help with that with less than full loads. Pusher is not a 'must have' but it is cool and adjustable.

Enjoy guys! I'll share your thanks with the team. Also, registration isn't required for the warranty to kick in, it just does, but if anyone ever needs servicing then they'll be asked for that same info. Registering is a good way to keep those details on-hand

Good morning all,

Long story short, I bought the original Pax as my first vape and really liked it. It caused an average case of VAS, but I survived.

Flash forward, my Crafty needed to be sent in for repairs, and I see the Pax 2 is out, so I pick one up. I really like most of the improvements, but am still questioning a couple of things.

I did search, but have never had great luck on these forums with searching for specific answers, so here goes......

The whole lip sensing thing still doesn't make sense to me. If I'm holding it, won't I already be completing a/the circuit? With the original Pax, I had to keep my finger or thumb over the mouthpiece as it heated up because of the escaping vapor. The Pax 2 isn't much better in this regards, but is holding my finger up there keeping the oven on? It seems it would. If that is the case, I'm sorta stuck on how to proceed.

The other question is about the vented oven lids and pusher. I really like the idea of the pusher, and if the vented lid eases airflow a bit, I see that as a good thing (it's the only gripe I have about the unit, my Mighty has confirmed how much I prefer easy airflow). So, does the combination work well together or are you guys using the pusher solo? The only thing that I seem to find consistent was that the aftermarket screens don't seem to offer much additional benefit.

I have to say, over the last week, this has become my daily driver with evenings being fulfilled by the Mighty. The Pax is a great out on the town vape for me.

Again, apologies for two subjects that have probably been discussed at length.

Healthy green all,

MT

Hi MT! I don't really understand your question about the lip sensor. I think it has more to do with preserving material when not in use. You may want to pm @Ojan_at_PAX with your question. He's very helpful and responsive. Anyway, I never find a need to place my finger over the mouthpiece while its heating up.

Regarding the pusher, I love and use it all the time because I never fill the oven. So it works great as a spacer. I have not tried the vented lid, and if I remember right, the reports here have been mixed. Personally, I just don't think it's necessary. The pax2 is a sipper, so increasing airflow isn't important to me. Just keep it clean to maximize airflow.

And if you're concerned about smell, you may want to get the caps from @Ratchett.

Hope this helps!

The lip sensing thing is a little complicated. It only activates from touch of the mouthpiece, not the body of the Pax2. It acts as a boost to the set temperature, depending on what the set temp. is. I think it may not activate at all from temp. setting 1 (one petal). If you're at temp two, the light will turn green, then when you put your lips (or fingertip!) to the mouthpiece, the temp will increase. Similar if you're at setting 2, it will boost from there.
I'm sorry but I've lost track of the charts that spell it all out -- the temps and boosts including the several possible party modes, which are more than just flashy lights! Googling around should produce some result about all those things, and more information about the lips sensing. For example, when in some of the party modes the lights will go crazy if the lip sensing is activated.
Enjoy!
ps. I'm with @Mr. Me2 on the pusher, I like that, but feel the vented lid is not necessary (better flow of ?diluted? vapor?) and the screen is kinda superfluous, though some folks do like all of those things!

PS - On the remote chance that someone with influence reads this, if the Pax 3 comes with a loading tool, charging dock, a slim hard carrying case that holds these three things (and maybe a spare screen and mouthpiece), and nothing else, I will be a happy camper. That would be the complete kit made to go together, all in one sweet package.

Depends on your definition of slim, but this case fits comfortably in my pockets (if I'm not wearing tight jeans) and is my all-in-one travel solution

Is that the Krypto Kit? I actually use the hard shell version and like it, it's very simple which is a plus. However I've made various minor modifications to it, like removing the baggie and cutting out the velcro, to suit my tastes. I also like that it resembles a sunglasses case so it's reasonably inconspicuous. It's certainly ideal for weekending, and for the price I can't not recommend it.

I'm only so hung up on compact because I want a "day case" rather than travel case. Most cases have lots of room for accessories and a stash bag/cylinder, which is great but sometimes I want just enough case to keep the Pax clean and safe.

IMO the ideal day case would have an elastic strap or sleeve for the Pax, one for the charger, and a small pocket (about the same size as the charger unit) with velcro closure, which would easily accomodate a spoon, screens, lid, mouthpieces, pusher, etc. Nothing else, sometimes less is absolutely more - I can carry cleaning supplies in my toiletries bag and my stash in a container of my choosing.

Thanks Me2, and I probably wasn't in the best place to try and explain that. Then again, I'm really not now either, go figure.

When you use the pusher, are you using it with the stock oven cover or the NewWorld one with the pusher attached? Same question to you too @vapviking

Thanks Viking,

I get what it's doing, and I think I understand how it's doing it. What I can't figure out is how they could isolate one part of what appears to be a single piece of aluminum from another!

I feel bad about never giving this thing a real chance when I got it. At first, the required slow draw was a real turn off. Now that I've been using it as a daily, I've really grown to appreciate it and it's strengths!

I did pick up a pair of @Ratchett 's end caps, and some free Pax2 water tool adapters! The one I tried worked pretty sweet lol. The Doob Tubes and funnel, as well as that sweet GH leather case! Kinda kicking myself for not adding the Pax2 travel charger station.

Now I'm off to figure out how this thing works best with water tools!

Okay. I'm only using the pusher, no other of the NewVape products.
btw , I use the end caps and SonG adapter from Delta 3d, too!

Oh, you want to know how the lip sensing it works? idk!

So, get familiar w/party mode if you're not already, so the water experience can be optimal. Now that I'm saying that, it seems its been a while for me, I should get out my cheat sheet! At least one of the party modes prevents Pax2 going to standby, I think I remember that correctly...

 

[WakeAndVape]

The lip sensor doesn't sense lips, it senses the pressure from your lips of fingers on the lid...

My guess it's located under the black silicone of the mouthpiece.

I think the original delta wpa's didn't trigger it, because of the weight distribution of the adapter?

Also, the pax is OKAY through water, but it's not it's strong suit.
