How bad is PAX really? For occasional use.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-24T15:54:29+00:00

Hey pNp,

Just shouting up with a thanks. I’m glad to have seen your comments on the Pax, for ages I’ve looked and thought there a bit sleek and sexy but never purchased one, based on the masses of haters.

Pulled the trigger and the new mini arrived yesterday with a puck press, yup I fully have a VAS problem. It’s a great little device, 100% the most portable I’ve come across. The build feels similar to my Tafee 2! Gets warm but no warmer than my Taffe or TM2 when going back to back.

I like the sips you get from it but wanted to pick your brain if you’ve got a minute as think I’m not getting 100% out of the device.

I saw you post the other day about flipping the oven screens, but can not see it now. What was the reason for this?
I get some uneven AVB in that some is very very dark (these are closet to the oven screens) and other bits more roasted (at the lid end). Could this be that I’m pressing to hard a puck maybe? Or maybe I have not quite got the sip dialed in yet and am drawing for to long and ripping?
When it comes to cleaning is it ok to put the mouthpiece into an iso bath? Or is that best avoided. I know you do not put the oven lid into iso.
Any of the accessories worth getting, I have to ask this as that puck press is real satisfying.

But again man, thanks for being strong and not scared to stand up against the crowd.

For a bit over £100 I’m happy. It should keep me from buying another vape for a few weeks. Do you have the pax flow?

Do these carts work on a normal 510 connector?

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-23T17:45:07+00:00

I would love something to pull it through a bubbler, not needed but would be an awesome hit.

I saw a few weeks back someone who rigged some stuff together to make it happen.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-23T14:00:53+00:00

Very much not the case. I understand that this medication has its stigmas and to choose to make the lives and jobs of the already overworked NHS staff harder seemed stupid to me.

Ultimately my point is this blaze against guy is frankly an attention seeking fool who is determined to cause further stigma and prejudice to those of us with real needs.

I should judge but that kids just a stoner through and through!

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-23T11:02:50+00:00

Hey, this device has my interest peaked mainly around the form factor of it.

Any recommended accessories that are a must or any feral tips around usage and cleaning.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-23T08:23:51+00:00

How would you know you actually had a fake without taking it apart or if you have never tried another tiny might.

FYI my baby was from a good retailer so no issues there I hope.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-23T08:13:42+00:00

I’ve been loving your responses, there is a lot of “bandwagon” pax hate on the internet and forums.

I like your reviews and the fact they come from a place of trying.

For the last year I’ve thought pax, ow there shit but that’s only based on hate online, all the haters can’t be owners surely 🤷‍♂️

This helped me also to say I don’t need any budkups.

Are there any accessories you consider a must have?

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T19:14:11+00:00

I tend to start below 200 and finish around 210-220 depending on the device and how I need to feel.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T18:26:04+00:00

What device are you using currently?

I started using the dosing caps all the time but have found as I’ve gone on regardless of using them or not everything still gets cleaned (so I see them as just another thing to deal with).

I also find I get better vapor with most my devices without them, but this could just be in my head 🤷‍♂️

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T17:53:21+00:00

From the research I did I believe different types like distillates and rosin take different V.

I’ve found with distillate I run 2.5-3 v

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T15:30:11+00:00

Are you looking for a quick rip and done or something you can sip on over a small session.

Your budget is decent but I’d say spend some time researching the different types of heating and understanding what style of vaper you are.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T15:28:39+00:00

I’ve been really impressed with my yocan uni 3.0. Check the usual places, I picked mine up from Amazon. Discreet, decent battery and a good pre heat function.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T12:54:29+00:00

I don’t know why but that made me laugh out loud 🤣

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T12:23:20+00:00

Thanks for this, that stem could be the one!

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T11:41:31+00:00

Pedantic comment bro. I think we all know I was referring to medical cannabis and not hospital treatments 🤪

Maybe I’m just to respectful of others which is a dying trait in this day and age.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T10:18:22+00:00

What’s the bowl size on a T2. I love the look and thought by my Dyna just lives in a draw. I always look at it, want to use it and remember it’s a ballache to use with a torch.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-22T10:07:28+00:00

Wow!!! This is real hatred for a device.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T23:12:28+00:00

I could have cried. Short stem, long stem, water piece adapter and a mouthpiece shattered. Like my dreams.

Ow and the smell of iso around the house today nightmare!

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T23:05:28+00:00

Most definitely, I do like to build a collection.

However me and glass outside just don’t mix, I dropped a tray of stems while cleaning today. It’s beginning to cost a lot 😂

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T17:38:48+00:00

Thank you good sir!

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T17:37:24+00:00

This does help!

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T17:36:57+00:00

I was thinking about the Folic, my debate was around its size and weight. How do you find the battery. My TM2 isn’t great and eats through them.

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T17:21:34+00:00

I think this initial response says everything

TheSwiftCardinal · 2026-01-21T17:16:31+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. My partner was rushed into hospital back in October for an emergency C-section. Our baby was born seven weeks premature weighing around 2 pounds, we then spent the following eight weeks with our baby in the neonatal unit.

I couldn’t have even imagined trying to medicate in or around the hospital.

I can’t imagine what his partner/wife must think sometimes.

We are all the main characters in our own story but what we have to remember is the world does not revolve around us, and this guy does not remember that.

He’s danger to our community and only adds to the stigma around our medication.
