The Pax 3 is one of the most popular portable vaporizers on the market!
It is also the number one sales in the United States, this little lost corner of the world that saw it born.
Indeed, fans of the Pax 3 praise its multiple qualities such as its design and its small size.
But not that!
It turns out that this vaporizer is very efficient and delivers a very good quality vapor.
This one is certainly a little hot but very effectively restores the flavors of the plants!
However, to get the best out of the Pax 3, it is necessary to incorporate some techniques.
That is why we are writing this article, so that the happy owners of the beast can appreciate it at its true value.
Pax 3 and crumbled plants
To spray a portion of plants evenly, it is welcome to break it into pieces.
While some vaporizers work best with coarsely crumbled plants, Pax 3 does not.
Indeed, it is necessary to reduce it to powder to properly exploit the vaporizer's conduction heating system.
This could be done by hand if the plant is dry, but a good amount of active ingredients would remain glued to the fingers and would be wasted…
That's why the use of a herb mill, or grinder, is ideal!
And to go further, we can also use the Finishing Grinder from Magic Flight.
This tool can reduce a plant already crumbled to the state of fine powder, without losing a drop!
I find it very convenient, it serves me for my other vaporizers with conduction heater like the Omnivap, the Vapman, and of course the MFLB.
Pack the herbs in the oven
Once the plant is powdered and placed in the Oven of Pax 3, it must be compressed.
Thus, the extraction of active ingredients will be optimized, and we will get beautiful and tasty clouds of steam.
To do this, we can use the Multi-function Pax tool, or a paper pencil for example.
However, note that there is a fantastic accessory called Saled Oven Lid 2.0 Pusher Bundle.
This tool replaces the original lid of the Pax 3 oven while compressing its contents!
In addition, it is drilled with small holes to improve the draw which is a little clogged.
For my part, I find this accessory is indispensable.
Slow inhalation with Pax 3
The draw of the Pax 3 is rather closed, and it is not for nothing.
Indeed, it is necessary to inhale gently and long in order to allow steam time to form.
On the other hand, if we inhale with force, we will cool the oven by inserting air at room temperature and we will be singinging.
As you can see, if you cool the oven, less steam!
Stir the contents of The Pax 3?
One question that often arises when it comes to vaporization is that of the touillette.
Indeed, some vaporizers do not heat the plants evenly, so it is necessary to to tont them during the session.
In the case of Pax 3, it will depend on the temperatures we choose to heat our herbs.
In fact, if we spray with the first temperature we can see that the extraction is not homogeneous.
So we'll come and stir the contents of the oven from time to time so we don't lose anything!
However, with the other temperatures, the heating is much more homogeneous and it will not be necessary to do the operation!
Pax 3 and concentrates
If you buy the Pax 3 in its full pack edition, you will find an accessory dedicated to concentrates in the kit.
It is a metal cartridge perfectly suited to their consumption.
Concentrates have the particularity of melting and intruding everywhere when heated directly in the oven of the vapo.
The result is a waste of equipment and a waste of time because we have to clean up.
So with this special cartridge we will keep our Pax 3 clean!
However, we will be careful not to overs trim the cartridge with concentrates to prevent it from leaking itself into the oven…
To do this, let's place our equipment in small quantities below the level of air inflows and if possible away from the air outlet of the accessory.
In conclusion
The Pax3 is a vaporizer that has already proven itself with many users.
However, some criticize it sometimes a production of steam minimal and too hot …
Reproach very often related to misuse of the Pax 3!
Indeed, if we place coarsely ground plants without packing them into the appliance and well we will inhale more hot air than steam …
A good listener!
