Many thanks to FC for the great info I have been getting about vaping over the last few years as a lurker. I have a problem that I hope some of the veterans here can chime in on.
I bought a Pax, received last week (expedited ship many thanks to the very good folks at VapeWorld) that I had a chance to take a spin out this weekend. After work on Friday, I loaded up the oven, as read here, fairly packed with some lower grade weed for a tryout. Set the Pax to low (green) and proceeded to get good clouds. But after two loadings, I did not get anything, zip, nada. I thought it was perhaps it was because of the lower grade stuff.
So later in the night, I loaded it up with the good stuff and after two loads, again nothing ? I'm getting good vapor with good flavor but just not any buzz whatsoever. And I'm using up some of the supply fairly quickly also. I'm starting to think that my supply of weed may be losing potency or something.
So last night, I started up my EQ with the bag using the same good graded flowers. I used about a third of one Pax oven load and was immediately medicated by the time I reloaded the EQ for the second go.
While I was relieved that my supply hasn't lost its effect (and why wouldn't it be), I was very disappointed in the Pax. I'm trying to reconcile to see why the Pax wouldn't be working for us while using more at the same time. I can see the ABV is well used and that I'm not getting vapor anymore. I did try the med heat setting but had not ventured to the high setting. The oven is pretty well loaded and firmly packed down each time.
It would have been perfect if the Pax works for me. It was great design, very compact and very obscure. I really hoping some of the experts here can tell me what I can do to improve the potency and efficiency.
