Hi guys, I have been researching into the Pax Original for months against other vaporizers (new to the vapour game) and now have become interested in the Pax 2, the reviews have been all but good news and clear any issues i had with the Original Pax.
In regards to cleaning the Pax V2, anyone know if it easier than the Original Pax? If so how easy has it becomes?
My only issue is, living down under in Australia i have no way of ordering one... does anyone know a way around this? Pax website as i am aware of does not provide to countries outside of America and Canada.
The Pax 2 is trivial to clean. This thread isn't long yet, and I've posted about this a few times, so please read it.
Pax intends to start distributing internationally, but I don't know how soon the Pax 2 will be available in Australia. Perhaps
@Ojan_at_PAX or
@scott_dunlap can give you an idea.
Interesting.
After a hit or two or three with my P1 and shutting it down and continuing to draw for a few seconds (like my other vape the mflb) the metal oven cover is not hot at all just warm when I remove it right away to check. I use it on medium.
I wonder then if the oven cover is now plastic will we be cooking plastic?
Seems like you would need metal cover over a metal oven otherwise you will have some taste from cooking plastic cover during a long sesh if you just leave it on?
Thanks again
If you are taking care to use a cool-down hit after turning it off, you will certainly minimize the effect of the metal lid. I still doubt it will be as good as the Pax 2 since there are other changes that make a difference, but again, I haven't done the test.
The material is PPS, which is a plastic engineered for thermal applications. I don't know exactly which PPS they used, but again perhaps Ojan or Scott can get more information out of the engineers. You won't be the last to bring this up so it would be good to get this clarified. I can't imagine a reason why the lid
has to be metal.
Just for you, I did a test where I heated the empty P2 at maximum for 15 minutes. To defeat the lip-sensing cool-down, I kept my finger on the rim and hit it every 30 seconds or so. The results were not what I expected. At no time did I detect plastic, but there was a faint taste. I'm pretty sure that it was resin because a) I didn't clean it first, b) it tasted like cooked material, and especially c) I got a mild buzz, hence my surprise.
As I keep pointing out, flavour is highly subjective. Some people are a lot more sensitive, some can detect metal but are oblivious to plastic, or vice-versa. Perhaps my biggest concern about reviewing a design is that my sense of taste is atypical, in that I enjoy the flavour long after some of you would find it unacceptable. I do think I'm pretty sensitive to flavours but I also don't think that I or anyone else can assure you that you won't taste something.
