Pax Labs brings us the third version of the popular PAX, an innovative vaping device that has become the favorite solutions for users who want comfort and portability. It’s been a decade since the release of the original PAX and the latest model is set to offer significant improvements over its predecessors. In this review, we will find out how is the Pax better and what features you can expect.
Design and presentation
When you get the kit, you receive the PAX 3 vaporizer, one charging cable + dock, two mouthpieces, one multi-tool, two oven lids, one concentrates insert, one o-ring for the concentrates insert and three replacement screens. The PAX 3 can be used with concentrates and herbs. It features high-polished anodized aluminum shell and it is lightweight and discreet. You can choose between Gold, Black, Rose Gold (limited edition) and Silver. You can get it from $200 USD.
Pax Labs knows that first impressions count, which is why it is not a surprise to see that they use a high quality box for their device. Once you open it, you will be welcomed by the glossy new PAX. While the PAX 3 looks a lot like the previous model, it offers additional features that its predecessor didn’t have. For instance, it allows you to vape concentrates.
Features
There are 4 temperature settings and the device heats up way faster than the PAX 2. It comes with heptic feedback, which means that the vibrations will let you know when the vapor is ready as it enters standby mode. You can see how much battery is left thanks to the full-color LED interface. With the internal accelerometer you can save energy and material. The 1500 mAh battery in the PAX 3 is slightly larger than the one in the previous version and it offers more power. The PAX 3 supports Bluetooth and it works with the PAX Vapor app. The warranty covers the device for 10 years.
You can use the app to adjust the temperature, which is an innovative solution that will impress technology fans. The app also includes entertaining games and you can connect it to the PAX 3 via Bluetooth. You just need to pair your smartphone with the PAX 3 and use the app to manage different functions. Apart from allowing you to adjust the vaping temperature, the PAX 3 offers some modes that will suit different needs. When you use the Boost mode, auto-cooling is reduced so keep in mind that the device can get a bit too hot when using this mode. The Stealth mode increases cooling and keeps lights to a minimum, which is ideal for discreet vaping. With the Efficiency mode, the temperature increases gradually and with the Flavor mode, you can adjust the temperature to your liking and get the richest flavor.
There is a feature called Haptics, which makes the PAX 3 vibrate to let you know when it is ready to be used. You can disable this feature or adjust it to suit your preferences. The PAX 3 can be used with dry herbs or concentrates, and if you are using it for the latter, you just need to place a little bit in the middle of the wax chamber. When vaping concentrates, the best option is to select the highest setting. Although it doesn’t deliver massive clouds, it provides an enjoyable and intense flavor, with no burning sensation. You get strong hits, but the sensation is smooth. The PAX 3 is designed to offer a consistent experience, whether you want to vape wax of herbs. Concentrates can last for a long time and thankfully, the wax chamber is easy to clean.
One of the reasons why many people prefer the PAX 3 over the previous version is that it heats up faster. If you prefer to vape wax, you will enjoy the stop-and-go sessions and will only need a small amount of concentrate. The vapor production and flavor are at the same level in the PAX 3 and the PAX 2, although it feels like the new model lets you take smoother draws. The oven in the new PAX is set to offer more powerful performance and the battery life has been increased. The device is versatile and its portability and discreet design makes it perfect for on the go sessions.
Conclusion
It is easy to see why many people establish a connection between the PAX and the iPod. The box, the presentation, the design and the fact that you can name your device, will remind you of Apple’s features. Although the PAX 3 is available for a lower price than its predecessor, it is still one of the most expensive options available. The PAX 3 is better than the PAX 2 in some areas, but it is not significantly different. The main difference is perhaps the PAX vapor app, which adds a futuristic feeling to your vaping. If the price is not an issue for you, it is worth investing on the PAX 3, after all, it is a fantastic portable vaporizer.
