I bought the original Pax, two years ago with my tax return. I used it quite a lot when I first bought it, but i slowly began to realize that I didn't seem to be getting the same quantity of being high. Basically, I would vape a whole pack til it was darkish brown, which was about .3 to .35 as Sho said, but I would only get as high as smoking half of that from a bowl. And the high would last only as long as a bowl high too. I didn't feel like I coughed less from my Pax, even though it is cleaner than smoking, I would still take huge rippers and have to cough a lot. A few other problems I had was the constant need to clean the Pax due to a lot of resin build up making the moving parts sticky. The Pax is also only good for a pack or two at a time, any more than that and the whole unit is hot as fuck. Ultimately, I stopped using it all together and I just smoke bowls/bongs/Js/Blunts.
I think the best option for vaping is to get one that is an oil pen that way you can vape oils instead of having to get an oil rig, plus you can do it more freely in public.
And as a conclusion to the post I made back in July about finding weed in Hawai'i; It was a success but only barely. Found a dude that grew his own, smoked a blunt with him, told me he would hook me up for the week, and he never got back to me after that. Another dude there gave one of my co-travelers about a gram of some dank Hawai'ian bud, and I managed to make that thing last me the whole week that I was there by only taking a few tokes at night.
To Sqwunk: How did you pack it? Chunks or ground leaf? Also, did you ever change the heat settings by chance?
A big reason I am picking this up is the stealth it provides as well as smoking indoors, but you have me a little worried though I am thankful for the honesty. I've never vaped ever so this will be new and I promise to report back to everyone with how my high feels and how long it lasts, etc. :D
I think I mentioned it but I was surprised the pax took dry/leaf instead of oil. I had thought that's what was used in a Pax: Oil, and I considered oil pens as an option but leaf is so easy to get here.
Welp.
I fucking hate it. There's not a single pleasant thing about it, and it just ends up burning my lips. Probably not using it right, but well. It's hard to misuse a pipe which I already want to go back to. Fuck my lips hurt. Perfect Pax 2 anyone wanna buy? Ughhhhhhh so disappointed and out so much money! BAH
I might be interested, really liked my original pax but it's pretty beat up cuz ive had it for a few years now. Original one got hot as fuck on the mouth piece too but usually if you packed it too tight and were sitting there suckin on it forever.
Not sure about the pax2 but i know you could buy a soft rubber replacement mouth piece for the original that solved the heat issue for a lot of people.
We had to look up videos to figure out how to really use our vape right. Maybe you can try searching for it on youtube and see if people have solutions to the hotness.
I'm going to give it a couple more days then I'll make a decision to sell. I'm just not getting the same high, really, and it's disappointing. I'm not even sure if I'm getting a high. I can't feel it like I can from the pipe, but I know something's happening cause I still get the dry eyes and munchies a little. The effect seems almost like it's dampened or watered down, if that makes sense.
I'll look up some more videos after I get home. I only watched two, and it seemed straight forward. Pack, turn on, inhale. Both videos had to puff twice to get a lot of vapor though, to see it, and most times I can barely see any.
Never do chunks. Just like people that pack bowls with chunks, it's a mistake. Use a grinder or something else to get it to be ground up. Just like with a bowl, you're looking for maximum surface area by having many tiny pieces of bud particles.
I would alter the heat setting mid-vape. Generally I would start on the Medium setting, and take about 6-8 hits, pull the top off and turn it up to High heat, and then pop open the oven and stir the weed. The medium setting should get everything to a light-medium colored brown. The high heat will make it a darker brown and get any remaining THC out of it.
Another fun thing to do is never let your vaped weed get past the medium brown color, and save it all up until you have a few grams of vaped weed. Eat it. You will get high.
Bumping this to let ya'll know I did list is here on BG in the Buy/Sell/Trade section. Just not for me. In the end I think I did want a liquid vape pen more so than the dry herb.
Airenn get a arizer Extreme Q, we've got one recently it's amazing getting 5-7 bags per bowl takes 3 or so to get spaced as fuck
Or an Arizer Solo/Air liek I mentioned days ago, lol.
Actually before you do anything, find someone who does have it.
Don't worry, I won't be buying without trying or finding. I got to try a Pandora(?) pen last night. Now THAT was nice. That's the high/feel I wanted. Oil, of course.
Lowered the price for BG. In the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.
Bumpish, but fuck. I just started smoking again recently (past couple weeks) and my tolerance (if there really is such a thing, been debated for ages) or just I haven't smoked regularly in a long ass time and forgot how it felt, Jesus Christ. I feel like I'm still fucked up a day later. It's not a bad thing by any means, I can still focus on everything, but just a little less of that would be nice. I feel like that this didn't use to happen, but then again I smoked every day multiple times.
Seems you are smoking some real good stuff, maybe too much at a time. There is definitely such thing as a tolerance build man loll
