The Drop seems to have ended really early?
I thought I'd check with Ploom to verify what Vapeworld told me (that I have warranty, regardless of where I live). Turns out that Ploom does not agree:
"Sorry for the trouble. Currently, Ploom only operates in the United States and Canada, but hope to be expanding in the near future. At this time, we are unable to offer warranty service for international purchases, so we recommend waiting until we branch overseas prior to making your purchase.
Best,

This is highly disappointing. This means I'll have to send back the Pax I just ordered, as I am not going to risk another broken unit.
I'm confused. I thought you were planning to do any potential warranty claims though a US intermediary. On the other hand, there are other choices that will do international warranty service and that a lot of members rate more highly than the Pax. Maybe this is a blessing.
If anyone knows of any other vaporizers that are of similar size and heat up as fast as well, please share. I haven't found any yet.
No, not exactly. There are other authorized vendors you can purchase from.Two things, first let me get this straight even though the company has not been around for more than 10 years they won't honor their 10 year warranty if you didn't buy it directly from them?
Second, after someone stole my original unit, I've ordered three different replacements brand new off ebay. None of them came sealed, every single one of them was a complete piece of shit. Not one of them entered party mode, some felt flimsy, and even though everything about it looked genuine the fact that none of them went into party mode...
And I had gotten my first one two years ago off ebay....did they just start making them really crappy now? The original one I had was awesome, not so much anymore. Wouldn't heat properly, two of them would enter the blue standby mode even while in mid-use :/

Why wouldn't they copy the packaging and logos to try and pass them off as real? It's not gunna say Fax by floom.i returned all three of them, very frustrating but I guess Ill have to try and find another real one (I got my first one off ebay, def real)
crazy they have the packaging and logos and everything copied
Hi Folks,
This is my first post in a long long while.
The fact that there are so few new posts is a testament to how trouble free this brilliant little piece of engineering is.
I have had my Pax for more than a year and it works perfectly
I took Wizz's advice from the beginning about not cleaning all the time and using the food machine white lube every few months when the mouthpiece doesn't feel perfectly smooth.
Of course you must only push down on the side of the mouthpiece directly above the draw tube to turn it on of off.
Every three months or more I clean it maybe and of course hold it burner side down when cleaning with iso so I never messed up the temp switch.
But you know the whole path is metal and we never were crazy about the taste. So I let my oven and tube look like my pipe, except of course keeping the edges of the screen clean for the draw.
Anyway I use the Pax several times a day and I have only one problem.
After a sesh sometimes I forget its in my lap and stand up sending the Pax and heater cover flying different ways. I have done this a ton of times even on concrete and the Pax is undamaged besides a few dings.
I have rigged a rubber band specially twisted with one loop over the bottom that holds the bottom on is black and doesnt look too bad.
I also applied a 3x1" piece of black sticky grip to easier hold it.
Does anybody else have this problem with the flying oven cover?
Have a great day!

Oh yeah, and I know its been stated before, but the best PAX pro tip is to never let your unit cool with the mouthpiece facing down.
