Do people favorably compare the PAx to the ThermoVape?
I love my TV Dart, but when it comes to vaping flower I prefer the Pax over the T1.
Capacity: I can pack 0.4g in the oven of the Pax, but only 0.06g-0.09g in the T1.
Battery Life: I get around 20 hits per session with the Pax and go through prolly 5 sessions before I recharge it. That comes out to around 100 hits per charge. I don't think I've even pushed the battery to the limit and I don't elevate to red to finish off the bowl, so you can get even more hits depending on your technique. This type of battery life/bowl capacity makes it pretty easy to use in a group session. However, with the T1 I usually need to change the batts after 2 bowls, 3-4 hits per bowl.
Learning Curve: According to the TV team, the T1 should provide about 10 good hits before the batteries need to be changed. This means that I might need to improve my technique with the T1 to really maximize the return, but this brings me to my next point- the difference in the learning curve. Although some people have had problems using the Pax due to incorrect technique, I still think that it's easier to learn how to properly use the Pax than the T1.
Device Temperature: Both units can get really hot, but the Pax doesn't get uncomfortably hot until maybe midway through my second session (if I'm doing a back-to-back). Even then, I can still comfortably hold the Pax by the mouthpiece end. The T1 body gets pretty hot after the first hit. By the third hit I need to put it down because it's so hot. Then it takes maybe 4-5 minutes for it to cool down to the point that I can hold it again and take the next hit.
Cleaning: I give the edge to the T1 in this category. I don't have to clean my T1 that often, and when I do it's pretty simple (brush abv dust from the bowl, maybe a quick swab with a q-tip and iso). Cleaning the Pax isn't difficult, just a little more involved. It has to be done more often if you want optimal performance/flavor.
Design: This is a push, imo. I like the look of both devices. The Pax has a minimalist and modern design while the T1 has more of a tough and aggressive feel. My friends have referred to the T1 as "gangsta" (black sleeve, of course).
Stealth: I think the Pax is stealthier because it's hard to determine its function from its form. People will most likely mistake it for a phone, mp3 player, or even some sort of battery. If people caught a glimpse of my T1, they could mistake it for a light saber and start asking questions. [Cue Obi-Wan waving hand: "You
don't want to ask me about this cool vaporizer."]
Cost: Both devices are on the high end in regards to price, but the Pax costs 25% more than the T1 (and this month you can get 25% off of the T1 with TV's summer promotion code).
Summary: If I'm going to vape flower on the go, then I grab my Pax. If I want to vape concentrates, I grab my tv dart on either the t1 power handle or the ultralite (depending on my stealth needs).
I currently don't have my Pax because I'm waiting for a replacement (temp button sticking issue others have mentioned) so I've been forced to use the T1 as a back-up, which is making me really miss my Pax...
. I've had none of the issues other people have had but I'm really obsessive about my cleaning and also after the first day or two settled on the fact that I just like to leave it on high and I start hitting it before it gets fully heated (30 sec after turning on) so the only time I ever remove the mouthpiece is when I'm about to stick it in some 99% ISO for a cleaning. I clean in and around the SS tube with a pipe cleaner wiped with ISO that was first applied to a paper towel (so as to ensure there's not too much) and clean the oven with a cue tip with ISO. (Soak the "screen" in ISO but it sure does stain that little screen 
Beautiful! This is exactly what I was looking for. Your photo has helped me a lot! Thanks so much!
