PAX 2 - Premium Portable Vaporizer - Dry Herb Vape Pen - New Colour - Brushed Charcoal

Product Information

To quote their CMO “We redesigned the PAX 2 to have both the lip-sensing, and a new heating algorithm that adjusts temperature dynamically based on how you use it. We also focused the temp algorithm on the materials themselves, rather than the oven temp, to make sure the draw was consistent from first to last.” In addition to displaying the battery charge, the petals also indicate the PAX 2’s current temperature status and setting. Press the button on top of the mouthpiece to turn it on. The lights will turn purple and flow upwards as the PAX 2 heats up, and turn green when it reaches your target temperature. To change the temperature, hold down the button for one second, press it to cycle through the different heat options, and shake to finalize your selection. The PAX 2 has four temperature setting to choose from: The PAX 2 has 4 pre-set temperature settings. Ploom does not disclose the temperature of each setting, but their customer service team did provide a range: from 360- 420° F ,or 182- 215° C.

I brought the unit to a family members house over Easter and that was the first thing he commented on. “Man, that thing really smells….” At that point I became more noticeable to me. I had about 5 sessions through it being brand new and never cleaned. I used it yesterday a bit and had it sitting on my kitchen table and noticed the smell of vape/resin in the kitchen. Mind you the oven was empty. I then had it laying on my bed while I was changing to take the dog for a walk and again the bedroom stunk really bad. After taking the original Pax with me EVERYWHERE I have noticed the Pax 2 has more of an odor with it and I cannot bring it anywhere with me. Very bummed about that.

That being said, I switched from 8 a day to one or two smoking sessions a day. I [feel more effects], for longer and feel more satisfied than before. I also use WAY less herb. This Ramp temperature selection can override the customised fifth temperature setting. But it won’t apply to the quartet of default settings. The PAX 2 comes with a nice cleaning kit, so make sure to use this and keep your PAX 2 nice and clean so it can always perform at it’s best. You can use the pipe cleaners with the provided cleaning fluid, to “floss” your PAX 2 and keep the airways nice and clean. One of the positives of the PAX 2 over the PAX 1 is that it requires less maintenance. After around 12 or so sessions our PAX is still going strong, but I can slowly start to feel the air flow getting tighter. I have heard people vaping the PAX 2 for up to to 20 sessions before cleaning it, but I would recommend giving a clean after 10-15 sessions to make sure it is performing at its best and that the air flow stays nice and open.

Pax Case # 0105xxx : 2 Blinking right side LED’s upon powering up Opened Aug 11th – No reply so I opened another. Anyone wondering how to use a Pax 2 vaporizer should know that it couldn’t be any easier. The one press mouthpiece technology with the PAX 2 makes it very simple to operate. When first using the unit, the LED petals may seem a bit confusing and random but they are actually pretty intuitive: purple means the unit is heating, green means its fully heated and ready for vaping, and blue means it’s entering ‘cool down’ mode to conserve battery. I also still enjoy mine as much as I did when I first got it and it’s now summer 2016, so it’s definitely a solid choice and I think you’ll be really happy with it. The Pax comes with an extra raised mouthpiece that is sort of similar to the original Pax. I’m not a big fan of it because it seems to get a little warm on the lips. Plus I really like the new flush design. No mouthpiece lube in this kit because you don’t need it! So the PAX 2 is said to be able to detect your lips on the mouthpiece and “optimize heat and vapor production” for the best performance. I do think the new model performs better than the original so maybe they’re actually on to something with this, I guess I just don’t fully understand how this is even possible, but hey I’m no engineer! ;)

What’s in the box

One other thing you could try is making the outlet hole on the mouthpiece a little bigger with a small drill or screwdriver, but I would recommend buying a second mouthpiece and trying it on that in case it doesn’t work out. In this post you’ll learn how to get the best performance from your PAX vaporizer and also how to use it with a very small amount of herb (like 0.15g). Vapor does leak from the bottom and top of the unit and the smell lingers. If you are vaping outside, you would just need to conceal the dense vapor exhales to feel comfortable, but vaping inside discreetly would certainly be a challenge because of the distinct smell produced. Users that want little to no odor from their device while vaping, even indoors, prefer units like the Utillian 722. In fact, one of our reviewers took the PAX 2 out for a night on the town and it was easily transported and stored in a small clutch purse, which was extremely convenient. The short battery life of the PAX 2 does impact its portability though as you may find yourself looking for a USB outlet to re-charge your unit after just a few sessions. Finally the material looks all “burnt”, brown colour, after the system heats once. Is that normal or is the material done? That was more than 2 questions I think ha

Battery life is pretty awesome at 90 minutes of usage before it dies – If you figure a typical full session is 10-15 minutes then you can get upwards of 9 sessions or so on one charge, which is a lot of vaping :)The Pax 2 has been my go-to portable vaporizer for “outdoor” activities for quite some time now with the Pax 3 taking over recently. The small form factor and tough outer shell make it one of the most durable portable vaporizers for outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, skateboarding, rollerblading, skiing/snowboarding, etc. I have dropped it in the snow, ran over it with my bike, dropped it on the trails many times and the Pax 2 is still going strong. You also get a 2-year warranty for that extra little piece of mind. This is when things get a bit interesting. You can’t change the maximum Ramp temperature that’s in Efficiency Mode. But there are two ways to change the actual starting temperature. One is to change the starting Ramp temperature inside the app. Use this method if you want to set your initially preferred starting Ramp temperature.

Pax 2 Temperature Settings– The four different Pax 2 temperatures are set at 360/380/400/420 Fahrenheit or roughly 180/193/204/215 celsius.

Short, light puffs

In this mode, the petals act as if they’re a window facing a large globe of colour inside, and the effect is pretty cool. If you move your unit, the globe will spin around. Green Mode
