Hi folks, I recently purchased a PAX 3 dry herb vaporizer, it also works with concentrates (thin mint shatter already purchased from MJ) so thought In would drop a quick review. Been using it for two days only, so this is initial impressions, and I'll update after I've lived with it for a bit.

First off it's a lovely little weighty unit, feels well made and sturdy, components all feel solid and well made. As far as using it is concerned it's very straight forward, press it on, wait until it heats up (light on the front indicate when it's heating and when it's easy). If you download then app you can choose a range of smoking options, economic, flavor, standard, stealth mode etc that all heat at a range of temps depending on what you want to get out of it.

It's easy to pack the herb in, absolutely straight forward, the cover fits securely. You need to pack it in fighter than feels right, tight enough that it doesn't fall out when turned upside down.

I started on flavor setting, which heats it to around 230°c, flavor was incredible, like how you imagine it will taste when you smell it, but obviously when we set our herbs on fire it kills a lot of the flavor, the PAX releases the flavor into your mouth.

I took a few decent Tokes, surprised at how little smoke occurs, so I was concerned I was using it wrong, but a few mins later I got my reward. The stone is different from a bong (I don't do tobacco so can't comment on a joint), whereas I feel a bong gets a heavy stone, the PAX gives you a lovely calming relaxing and longer lasting stone I feel.....but I guess this result may vary from person to person.

When I felt that the herb had ran it's course I pumped the temp up to high and it started smoking again, slightly harsher smoke compared to the flavor mode, but this allows you to squeeze the goodness out of all the bud.

When it's done you knock it out and a dry little block of what smells like lovely toasty decarbed weed. I'm told you could actually smoke this and get a bump if you put it in a bong or whatever, so I'm going to keep the waste and give it a blast to see if that's true, will keep it for the next time I'm Dankrupt.

It cost me £219, which compared to a few quid for a bong then it's absolutely ludicrous, however I put enough weed in for probably 3 bongs and me and the wife toked away on it many times last night, so it definitely gets the most out of your weed, and if the Dankrupt tip is legit then it just makes it even better.

So far I'm happy with the purchase, especially as we have family coming over for dinner on Sunday and stealth is the order of the day. The price is a bitveye watering, but you can get it for much less if you don't choose the full package, I think it's about £160ish for just the standard pack, but you wouldn't be able to use concentrates.

Hope this gives anyone considering diving in a wee bit more food for thought.

Cheers.
