No worries, man. I'm glad we got that cleared up. There's enough confusion about fake PAXes out there, haha.
Ain't that the truth!!!
Imitation is the best form of flattery though right!
Quick question on an issue I'm having, sorry if it's already been covered:
I'm finding that occasionally during my cleaning when I run a pipe cleaner dampened with ISO through the vapor tube, the Pax will start to display the purple light and begin to heat up. The only way to get it to stop heating is by putting the mouthpiece back on then taking it off again. My suspicion is that little bits of ISO may be getting on the temp button while I swab it. So now, just to be safe, I remove the mouthpiece and let the unit power off, which seems to take about 6-8 minutes with the mouthpiece removed.
Anyone else encounter this issue? Is this indeed what's supposed to happen if ISO gets on the temp button?
euph0ric1, to turn the unit off for cleaning, simply remove the mouthpiece and place it on the charger for 5 seconds and it will turn the pax off. (when you do charge it, I recommend putting it mouthpiece up in a shallow drawer, and place the charger on top. This will keep your pax much cleaner).
I took a pax apart and no harm will come to your pax using a slightly moistened pipe cleaner through it.
I use a bristled pipe cleaner with ISO after a session when its warm but cooling down to clean mine (I only use low & med).
The tube is solid from the mouthpiece to the oven, so ISO wont get into the temp button unless your pipe cleaner is dripping into it.(if temp button is sticking, try cycling through temps while blowing some compressed air from a can around the temp button)
make sure your pipe cleaner is damp, not dripping wet.
Don't ever force the temp button if it feels like its sticking.
Maybe try cleaning around the edge of the button with a small blade very carefully.
Also looking at the light (X), always push down on the right side to turn on and off. You want to push directly above the metal stem on the mouthpiece to prolong the life of it. My friends left handed so he always pushes down on the left. One 10 degree day he pushed on the left to turn it on and cracked the plastic mouthpiece.
Hope this helped.
