hahah ok thanks guys, just felt bad for the dude trying to help me.

bOObs you get much better results out of a water pipe then I do. I think maybe I am trying to use my pieces that have too much volume. Are you drawing the same speed as you would directly from the device, or are you altering your draw speed?

I like that you cut your adapter down to size. I might do that with mine.

 

[ilovebOObs]

i just set to max and rip away with a regular draw. i got like 5-6 huge rips then it was cashed.

that why i sent u a few extra so you can cut them and mod them to work with other glass. i really like using it with a reducer.

So is it recommended to try to discharge the battery as much as possible each time before charging? I know there's not any real long term input on this yet and I will probably do it regardless.

Also, say you charge it up and don't use it for a week or more (once again, prob not much input in this dept yet), it holds a charge well?

I read somewhere that totally discharging Li Ion batteries is NOT good for them, better to drain to 80% or so and then recharge.

Anyone else?

This is correct for lithium batteries. You should never discharge one below 20% of it's maximum capacity.

What they don't tell you is that almost every device in the world that uses them has circuitry to prevent this from happening anyway. When they sense the voltage is getting low they just shut off in order to stop the battery from completely discharging. It's likely the Pax has something like this.

For people having temp button sticking issues it is from the reaction with iso and the white plastic.

Well that explains it! I was psyched that I finally cleaned mine last night and then this morning the little button was stuck. Yea, I put a small amount of ISO in there. I didn't soak it, just rubbed it clean. I kinda clicked my fingernail along the button and now it's fine. Glad to know what the deal is!

What's wrong with that? You were testing the scale, perfectly acceptable for the discerning shopper.

A friend of mine went to the dealership to test drive a car - to his surprise, the sales guy was pretty upset at him as he test drove the car to the post office, to the grocery store, etc, to see if the car could truly withstand his daily routine and demands of his lifestyle. I mean, he can't just hand out a ringing endorsement for the car to his celebrity friend who was in the market without making sure the car is capable. It's ok though, at the end of the day they became fast friends!

I guess waiting for mine to arrive is good, glad I waited a bit before the purchase, your feedback is valuable to the rest of the soon to be Pax owners, Hats off and I salute thee...

What is that black piece and how do I get it?

Is that just black colored 5/8" ID tubing?

Well you have to buy a Cloud to get one so it's probably the most expensive single perc piece in the world hahahaha...

i've posted about it a few times already, you should read up more joe. hahaahah i kid

its a neon electrode end cap.

also there is an ht in the classified section

 

[thevapenazi]

Yup, iloveb00bs gave me an electrode end cap and it pulls amazing milk out of the pax into my SB bubbler. It works wonders!

 

[UpUpandAway]

Im still using my NO2!

Efficiency: I think I already spoke to this above, but the efficiency of the PAX is terrible. If I took the bowl out of my PAX and just smoked it traditionally I would be more baked than through the PAX. Through my NO2 or Da Buddha, that same amount would get me more baked than smoking or PAX.

I agree with you here. Sometimes I feel like a trench from the MFLB gets me just as (if not more) medicated as a full oven in the pax.

Are the differences in efficiency the result of using conduction vs. convection?

just bought that ht

 

[Slightly Medicated]

The internet and television went out here. Might be awhile before get it back... Bummer. Anyway, congrats on picking up the HT. I imagine you will like using it with various adapters and such.

after seeing the video boobs posted, i knew i had to get one

also just bought some of those neon electrode boots, will buy a proper GonG adapter as well if needed

edit: also, boobs; is the adapter you used in the video 18mm male to 18mm female? i found this reducer adapter which goes from 14mm female to 18mm male, however it looks like yours is an 18mm female from the video (imo). let me know, just trying to figure out exactly what to buy

 

[Cleanfiend]

boobs, is that a hydratube that you modified? The bent neck action is very desirable in my books!

that adapter is what i'm using the tip of the electrode fits right into 14mm making a very good seal. just watch out with some of the rubber boot it may smell like rubber, i have a new batch and they smell.

yeah its a custom ht, the only one of its kind for now, untill vxc start doing customs. i love the bent neck for just leaning back and taking rips.

Good find! If you have a spare non-smelling one I'd be very grateful!

Are you hitting your Pax too fast? I'd have to do 3-4 full trenches in a mflb to match a Pax bowl...

No, I use the cigar draw that's been mentioned previously.

I only use the orange setting, mainly because my temp button is stuck (I will be sending it back to VW). Not sure if that could be affecting things.

I think your not extracting all the goods. The flavor will be gone and not much cloud but I still get very medicated. Try going a little longer with the material then you would usually and try to clear your temp button and go to high once you think its gone on orange, I get another 1 1/2 sessions.

sure thing i have 1 waiting for ya.

i do a slow steady draw and get massive clouds

I tried this yesterday with bOObs and will immediately fashion this setup once I get back home.

Thanks, bOObs, for the rubbers!

Yeah, I'm going to try modifying my technique because it seems like most people are getting nicely medicated from the pax, so I feel like I might be doing something wrong.

It's not that I'm not getting medicated at all. On the contrary, it gets me pretty lit, but it takes more plant material than I feel like it should. I typically pack in 0.4 g, but when I've used that same amount out of a bong or mflb, I get more medicated than with the pax.

In the end, I think that I just need to play around with it a little more.

so high.

just poppin in to say that.
nuff said, this vape, WORKS.
