Pax 2: THE REVIEW

If you are part of the vaping world, you will be aware of the significance Pax Labs has in the industry. They have revolutionized the portable consumption of dry herb vapes, through their unique features, and their sleek and compact designs. Intelligence in design as well as in features is what sets them apart from others. 

The Pax 2 vape is yet another example of Pax Labs’ dedication to vaping excellence and technological prowess. With a host of sensors and features that keep a close eye on your vape experience so you don’t have to. From lip-sensing technology to auto-cooling mechanisms, using the Pax 2 is akin to vaping with your own AI co-pilot. 

We’ve been lucky enough to give the Pax 2 a thorough test run, giving us the ability to provide you with an in-depth review covering all things Pax 2. Whether you’re reading this as a complete newbie to the Pax 2 or you have some experience with it, we’re sure you’ll gain a lot from this review. 

How Does The Pax 2 Work?

1. Heating System

The Pax 2 heating system utilizes a powerful conduction heating system. This ensures the highest vapor quality in every session. 

2. Loading The Pax 2

Loading the Pax 2 could not be easier - with its useful magnetic chamber lid feature, all you need to do is remove this and carefully decant your ground herb. Be careful not to overload it!

To ensure you’re getting the best vapor quality, I recommend loading the Pax 2 with a fine grind - this maximizes the surface area of the herb exposed to heat. 

3. Turing on The Pax 2

Just like loading, turning on the Pax 2 has been made equally simple. Ensure the device is fully charged before use, and using its single-button control scheme press it once to turn it on. 

4. Temperature settings

To cycle between the Pax 2’s four vape temperatures, ranging between 360F - 420F, press and hold the power button until you see the pedals on the front light up to their different colors. As you go through the different temperatures each pedal will light up informing that it is at the next temperature. 

Build Quality

Measuring a little more than 4 inches long, the Pax 2 is smaller than most e-cigarettes. Pax Labs have been sure its compact size has not been traded off for the quality of build - with a smooth casing that has a stylish sheen that sits somewhere between satin and gloss. Despite its small size, the Pax 2 is a seriously sturdy vape. With an outer body made out of anodized aluminum that’s more than able to stand up to the rough and tumble of life of an everyday carry vape. 

What makes the Pax 2 Stand Out?

Pax Labs have never failed to amaze with its innovation. The Pax 2 boasts multiple features that make it stand out amongst the portable dry herb vape line up.

With innovative lip-sensing technology that senses when you are taking a hit from the mouthpiece and adjusts the temperature setting in real-time. This means that the heat in the chamber remains constant, giving you an incredibly consistent vape experience. 

With an auto-cooling technique that automatically drops the temperature after 30 seconds, your device’s battery life is preserved for longer and not overheating your herb.

How's The Pax 2 Vapor Quality?

The Pax 2 features an isolated airpath that guarantees incredible vapor quality - its stainless steel chamber and air-path are built to medical grade standards. The heating system, while not ceramic, still delivers consistent heating thanks to the fact it is bonded to the chamber and airpath. 

There are also ways to ensure that you are getting the most ‘vape for your buck’. I found that making sure your herb is finely ground, and after each session emptying out the chamber and cleaning it thoroughly (we will get into this in more depth later) made for a better session. 

Is The Pax 2 Easy To Clean?

For general cleaning, it's a straightforward process with the Pax 2. After each session, you should empty out the oven and wipe out the chamber. Every so often use some cleaning solution (such as isopropyl alcohol) and a small brush to carefully clean the chamber out - gently breaking up any stubborn patches of grime. 

Cleaning the mouthpiece 

Push on the mouthpiece to release it into the ON position. Gently pull the mouthpiece to remove it, using the fingernail groove. Wipe down the mouthpiece with an alcohol wipe from the cleaning kit and clean the inside and outside of the mouthpiece stem using a pipe cleaner moistened in isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water. PAX recommends soaking the mouthpiece with your oven screen at least once a month, in warm soapy water or isopropyl alcohol.

Cleaning the Oven and Vapor Path

If the Pax has been on, make sure to wait a couple of minutes for it to cool down before cleaning the body and oven of the device - clean the body with an alcoholic wipe. Always take precautions when handling a potentially hot device. With the mouthpiece removed, ensure the LED indicator is displaying your current temperature setting colour.

Who Should Not Buy Pax 2
