Joe-K-A, did you cut the wires, then replace with heat shrink? How'd you make the connection to the new battery? So cool!

VapeNazi, you have been running this for a while? Must be quite a ways back in this thread? Thanks for being the first!

Less than 2 weeks ago hahaha, this thread grows fast! You can browse the pages around page 50 to see pics from when we got the first Pax's

I desoldered from the pcb, so the original wires are still on the old battery, then I used new wires... not easy to do without making a mess though...

was thinking about doing this until i read about soldering + desoldering, which has never really worked out for me in the past :/

Yeah but I'm a perfectionist... I think the easy way would be to rip the plates at the end of the wires off the old battery and then try to bend and fold them so when you put the new battery in, it holds the wires in place. It's tight in there so it shouldn't be too hard, just wrap the yellow tape back up and make sure the wires can't come loose. The Pax won't turn on until you put it on the charger and reset it.

EDIT: Didn't you loose yours in a wall? I would make sure you can afford a new one first ;):D

YES i am the one that lost his pax in the wall, but i just hit a hole in the damn wall and grabbed the pax out after one day of it being lost..... actually... uhm i mean the skateboard slammed into the wall..ya

Could have been the happiest day of my life when i got the pax back.

ehh i wont take the risk of messing my beautiful pax, and potentially ruining it

Alrighty, folks... A clean Pax is a happy Pax, indeed! Listen to the man in Ploom's cleaning video. More often is more awesome! :tup:

How much to get you to do the mod, or to get Pax to offer this update?

With this new nuclear-powered Pax I have even less time on my hands... if you want to try, make sure you can afford a new one, then do this:

I vote for JKA to make us the perfect vape.

JKA it isn't perfect yet cause to many returns and issues with sticking buttons. They need to change some of the material so you can clean and not worry. I still vote for you to make the perfect one cause the PAX isn't it at least yet.

So what do you guys think? Cobalt or Onyx? (or Amethyst?) Oh decisions decisions...
Click to expand...
It depends on what you want. If you want something stealthy, something you could hide in plain view and wouldn't draw a second glance, onyx for sure. If you want some cool looking, but might be too cool looking and might draw some unwanted attention or questions, go with the cobalt.

I have an onyx one and it gets lost just sitting on my coffee table, sitting beside my cell phone and remotes etc. I admit, the cobalt is beautiful but if it was sitting in the exact same spot on my table, it would stand out like a sore thumb. It'd be something you want to pick up and look at. Plus, the early availability of the onyx pax didn't help convince me to get the cobalt one either.

Joe KA, Where can I get these batteries? Any last words before I buy the Pax and super battery?

Looking to order a Pax today. What accessories should I order while I'm at it?

Get some extra screens. You can clean the one it came with but you'll want to replace it after about a couple months of use, at least that's what I am planning. My screen was pretty dirty (very dark brown, almost black buildup) after a week of heavy use, but I simply scrapped it clean with a single sided razor blade and rubbed it down with a small hunk of steel wool and ISO. It came very clean and looked almost brand new.

Thank you both. So I'll get some replacement screens. I'll keep an eye on the orbtronic. Thanks!
