PAX 3 Vaporizer
Major similarities
Pros
Both of these vaporizers are incredibly portable, and small enough to comfortably conceal in your hand. They're surprisingly tough, durable enough to throw in a bag or purse without worry. Both heat up within 30 seconds, have vibration feedback, and a concentrate option that’s great for occasional use.
Cons
These vapes excel with dry herbs, but heavy concentrate users should look elsewhere for a satisfying daily vape. They both get dirty really fast, and throwing in dry herbs after a sticky session will only worsen it. Keep your herb and concentrate usage separate if you prize cleanliness.
The mouthpieces on both vapes also come with their own obstacles. The PAX 3 mouthpiece can get hot on longer sessions. It also houses the power button, so your fingers touch where your mouth goes. The ONE’s mouthpiece is’t without issue. Sometimes they come out of the box a little too tight or too loose, but we’ll replace them for you.
Major differences
PAX 3
The PAX 3’s battery excels compared to the ONE, and its massive bowl is one of the biggest available in a portable vape. The restrictive airflow makes it ideal for those who take small sips throughout a long session. The downside is a price that’s twice as much as the ONE.
ONE
The ONE, with a three-minute timer, extracts quicker and more fully than the PAX, and has more air flow. If you want to blow through a bowl, the ONE will get you there quicker. The ONE is a great value, at only half the price of the PAX 3 Basic Kit, and only 40% of the price of the PAX 3 Complete Kit.
What Stickstones thinks
Both of these vapes are stellar options, but for me, being a vapor first guy, I prefer the ONE. Conduction vapes can’t keep up, and it excels on glass. For the heavy vaporist, it’s definitely the way to go.
What customers say
Our customers give the PAX 3 slightly higher rankings than the ONE. Both vapes scored a 4.6 out of five stars with over 770 reviews each, and both have the exact same number of negative reviews. At the end of the day, 82% of PAX 3 reviews were five stars, with 76% for the ONE, but the difference was in the three and four star reviews. The positive reviews for the PAX 3 were mostly five stars, while the ONE’s were spread more into the three and four star reviews.
Vape community chimes in
In case you missed it, we ran an Instagram poll for these two vapes, and we received almost 550 votes! The results were pretty close - 58% preferred the ONE, and 42% chose the PAX 3. This was a simple “pick 1” poll, without detail to the responses.
Final thoughts
Bottom line, there’s a reason both vapes are so popular - they’re punchy and travel anywhere. The PAX 3 is better at slower sessions with lots of sips, while the ONE is better for faster sessions with bigger hits. There’s no perfect vape, just the right one for time, place and person. Hopefully this post and videos helped you figure out which is for you.
