Forgot the offical store doesnt ship to my state (ga) so i am looking for reship companies or may just have to wait for other vendors

I really look forward to hearing all of your usage reports on this. One would hope it gives world changing vapor output and potency, because I'm just not picking up what pax is putting down.

It seems like it removes the easy to clean airpath in favor of a lot of inaccessible spots end to end.

It's also extremely frustrating that they have the bottom free for a charge port, but didn't move the power button down there. Having to put your dirty fingers a few mm from where your lips go was always a huge flaw to me (and impossible to operate when using a WPA).

What about smell? Is that side plate sealed? Is it a proprietary gasket?

Furthermore, they made it bigger, where one of the stand out features of the prior versions was their ultra-portable size. And with this size increase, we still don't get a replaceable battery?

I think at this point, Pax is not trying to win over people who are already staunch critics of their devices. They have enough fans/casual consumers that will enjoy the obvious improvements made to this.

People act like Pax did something to them personally. Ive had my Pax 3 for years and its performance is still great for a discreet portable. I have no doubt that this new device will surpass it based on the specs.

Either the brand is for you or its not, but they aren’t trying to prove anything to people who already dislike their stuff. They’ve been around for a long time.

You misunderstand me. I'm a fan of Pax, and the Pax 2 is bolded in my favorites for a reason.

i really like the 3, but i hate the temperatur settings of the plus, and they do the same with the flow. i wanna choose my temperatures!

So it looks like we have some answers on the design changes of the flow. So i thought there was something about Real Time Temp control but perhaps there is no way to tweak what those temperatures were. So my original thoughts leading up was it was going to be more like Roffu, but seems not.
We can see they want to keep user interface very simple.

I want to see how these Two ovens work especially with these new heating modes. (somewhere i recall seeing two ovens but obviously there is only one in a device this small) Biggest change IMO

INTUITIVE HEAT MODES​

Select from five intuitive Heat Modes with patented, real-time temperature control that fine-tunes each session. Whether you want to sip it for maximum flavor or rip it in Bong mode, PAX FLOW delivers it all.


Seems like the shape and size is similar to original PAX models. So we have similar mouthpieces (raised and flat) and maybe original WPAs might still work. Original design was SO Stealth, and i think this is the same. But maybe they can address the smelliness of PAX.

Finally USB-C and i am guessing the original magnetic charging connector was used because it was less intrusive to the shell of the vaporizer; Maremaresing is right about the power switch. I found that a bit frustrating when i was using with a bubbler or WPA etc. to have to remove those first.

Warranty is 4 years rather than 10 like my Plus. That should decrease some of their warranty costs especially over batteries.

Hey i hope they hit it out of the park with this new one! It will all come down to the experience(s) they can provide.

I agree with basically all comments/complaints above, and (also) still always end up using my Pax 3 more often than almost any of my vapes.

The thing that kept me from getting the Plus is the Temp controls, but I am a sucker and got the Flow in spite of it.

No idea when they are shipping, but will definitely let you all know my thoughts when it arrives.

Nitpicking at this point, but hey design is important, and we are talking about Pax, but I find the full logo branding obnoxiously lame. Shame.

I really like my Pax plus, form factor and convenience are unmatched, but really not sure I would spend that much, instead of a TM2 or Frolic, if I wanted a battery vape now.

I love Pax designs, I really love my Pax Era Pro.

But, I've read on many reviews of the problem of this one getting quite hot to the point it's hard to keep in the hand.

Many reviews?

Ive seen one, and it was in reference to the “bong” mode.

I think you're talking about the article on POTV. I saw these too :

The New PAX FLOW Vape: Smooth Moves, a Luxury Look, and Plenty of Flower Power

PAX just released its newest vape — the PAX FLOW. It's smooth, sophisticated, and made for people who appreciate dry flower.

In other words, every review I saw mentioned it getting pretty hot. And when you're doing a corporate unveiling where you're part of the marketing, it says a lot.

thanks for this!

edit: the pre roll ad in the middle of the review is taking me out

That looks like a fairly decent review. POTV will probably sell a lot of PAX too.

Still want to know if the mouthpiece and WPAs would be the same
