I'm app savvy but no vape apps ever on my devices.
Pax era is great without it! Never locked on me.
Sadly I may never play pax era games. A gaping hole of unfulfillment in my bucket list.

You miss out on all of the temperature control without the app. It's what makes it so much better than a 510 thread to me.
i love the "wave-it-at-the-iPhone" to connect to the app.
I love having battery level indication!

You can still change the temperature without using the app but you are limited to the 5 set temps (the four built in and then the custom temp). Without the app you can't change the custom temp but it still gives you the five options even without the app.
That's true but I find all of the temperatures besides the custom option too hot for the pods I like to use.

They are more expensive. Here's a capture from a store I frequent. I think the Pax ERA looks like a package of pencil leads for an automatic pencil. Stealthy.
Those prices are not bad compared to what they want here. Hell, I’d pay $35!
So regular CO2 Oil will not work? Do you think CO2 oil would work if thinned with terps?
Sure, reg CO2 will work: they filter it, but winterization takes most of the remaining plant waxes out. The remaining plant waxes if left in, may over time, plug the pod. To tell you the truth, I just assume it will plug the pod. I've never used anything but distillate with some terpines added back. I've plugged a few cotton-wick carts.

Anyone buying these in Portland, OR? What are the best prices people have found?

I went to The Green Front, very reasonable prices on the device itself and the pods.
Right out of the gate, I’m really impressed. I had an OG Pax and it was nice for the time it was made but didn’t have a ton of longevity for me and feels really long in the tooth now. The Era is the exact opposite. It feels new and easy and convenient. Little touches like how the pods don’t have to face a specific direction to be inserted correctly or the carb holes show Pax’s attention to detail, and being able to manually set the temperature in the app is fantastic.
The vapor is much cooler than any of my e-cig batteries with 510 carts, and the taste is incredible. That is to say, it’s incredible I can taste the strain I’m using, as with 510 carts I’ve never had any significant level of flavor.
The effects came on fast and they came on hard. I mostly vape to help me sleep these days so it’s great to pop this by my bedside, then just roll over and take a few puffs when I need it.
Right now I’m switching between temp level 2, 610 degrees, and about 560 degrees on a custom temp. Level 1 was too low and level 2 sometimes feels like too much, but other times just right.
I haven’t tried the session feature on the app yet but I’ll probably mess with it soon.
Really cool, convenient, and effective little device!

It's my favorite portable vaporizer yet!

And I love that they label each pod so you know what strain you’re actually putting in there. I have several unlabeled 510 carts that I can no longer remember what strain they are.
Agreed, love the labeling, super convenient. The overall form factor was a game changer for me, it's so compact and easy to use. I never get clogs and spitting with the Era pods either, IMO the fully bathed wick functions better than 510 carts where the oil has to wick into inlet holes and creates large air bubbles. I also prefer the wider mouthpiece of the Era over 510 carts, I can pull with my lungs instead of my throat.
The only issue I've had with the pods is every once in a while I'll get a loose one that doesn't stay in, if that happens to you just put a piece of small strip of Scotch tape on the pod and it should fit nice and snug.

This definitely feels like a step up. The 510s on ecig batteries are fine for getting you high, but they’re not a fully rounded vaping experience. Here, the pull, the taste, setting your temp, you get a much fuller and more satisfying session.

Close to pulling the trigger on one of these units. The pods are very easy to find in Maryland. Can you swap the pods and go back and forth or do you need to finish a pod before changing it? Never tried concentrates before, so the whole experience will be new.
Yes, you can and very easily.

Thanks. Was not sure if I needed to purchase two batteries. One for daytime and one for late night.
The ease of changing between strains is one of its appealing points!
