Durable, effective. Might or might not be for you.
The Pax 3 was my first dry herb vaporizer. I got it in the spring of 2019, which is currently about 4 years ago. It still works perfectly, and even looks almost like new except inside the oven. When I first got this device, I loved it. If you're coming from smoking, you probably will really enjoy it too. It's more efficient than smoking and tastes better than smoking. And it is very effective at extraction, so you'll feel the effects of what you're extracting. Now that I've had it 4 years and had experience with other vaporizers though, I like it less. If you're coming from a hybrid vape, you might not like it. It is less efficient than a good hybrid vaporizer, and it tastes a lot worse than a good hybrid vaporizer. Also, I highly recommend the water pipe adapter and a glass piece. A small globe or beaker is the best for vapor, as opposed to a huge tube. Using this through water is a game changer. It fixes the taste and makes the hits way larger. I get huge clouds from this through a water beaker. It's really the only thing I use it for anymore. (Well, I do also take it camping. It's a great discrete vape for sitting outside looking at the stars.) So the rating really depends on you. If you are new to vaping and are used to smoke, this will be a big step in the right direction. If you are trying this after owning the best competition, it's probably a step down. 5 stars for new users moving from smoke... 3 stars for people who are already used to the competition.
Doesn't work half as well as the POTV ONR, and more than twice as much
I thought I was upgrading with the PAX 3, after a lot of research, from my POTV One. To my disappointment, this vape can't give me nearly the experience my tiny POTV One can, and it cost more than twice as much. I watched multiple videos on how to get this thing to work, from a coarse grind to ultra fine, to packing loose, to packing tight, I paired my phone and tried all the different modes--all I ended up with was a bunch of toasted ****** (and it was my good stuff) and no **** to show for it. Huge letdown. For some reason I can't return this, which makes me even more disappointed. From the company that brought me my first vape, which I love, I expected more. Definitely not worth the price, and it's not been a good experience. I won't purchase anything PAX again for sure.

Hi Erica, You can return your Pax. I sent you a service ticket on this earlier today. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. With that said, please check out the following. You may have tried some of these tips you may not have tried them all. In regards to vapor production, I think we can improve that by quite a bit. All vapes have their own unique learning curves that may not be covered in the user manual. I'm going to send you a link to our blog. Pay particular attention to your draw technique. Very short, quick, cigar-like puffs, or long, slow draws works best with this vape, along with a VERY fine grind, a FULLY loaded oven, and a firm tamp. Make sure that you are holding your Pax upright when inhaling. Also, please give it about 20 seconds to heat soak after your Pax reaches its set temperature. Link: https://www.planetofthevapes.com/blogs/blog/pax-3-tips-tricks The most common mistakes people make with a vape like this is to either pack it less than full, pack it loosely, and/or sucking too hard. Any one of these three things can kill vapor production. You should also familiarize yourself with the cooling technology inside. If you set it down or don't touch it to your lips (with the recessed mouthpiece), it will start to cool down after 30 seconds to preserve your herbs. Once you pick it up, it rapidly heats the oven to get it back up to vaping temperature. Also, please know that your Pax is designed to be very stealthy, and they accomplish that not only by it being very pocket-friendly in design but also by limiting vapor production as compared to other vapes while at the same time, allowing you to feel the effects of whatever herbs you are vaporizing. Please keep us posted as to how things are going in the current service ticket that we have open for you. Take care, Larry
Disappointing app and customer service from Pax.
Unfortunately, I bought my Pax 3 directly from Pax, so I can’t get POTV’s superior return service. One of the best things about the Pax was being able to control it through the app (or through Connect Browser on my iPhone 13), but recently the app has stopped working and as a result, I’m at least 50% less satisfied with my Pax 3. I might as well just use my POTV One at this point. It’s just as good of a vaporizer without the app.

Hi MG, I as so sorry to hear about what's going on with your Pax. Even though you purchased it elsewhere, we still may be able to help. Creating a service ticket for you right now. Talk to you in a bit, Larry
Fast shipping and AMAZING product
POTV was very quick to ship out my order. It was well-packed and included a gift item (the stash jar is awesome!!!) to get started. The PAX 3 itself is my new favorite device. It heats up quickly and my ****** tastes great. Very happy customer.
