New PAX Colors for 2021
PAX has released a pair of unique colorways for the PAX 3 Complete Kits. Ocean Blue showcases a deep blue finish that’s bound to be popular. Midnight Rain exudes PAX’s edgier side with a chaotic, polka dotted design. Each one is dipped by hand and numbered for authenticity for a truly one-of-a-kind vaporizer. Grab yours now while supplies last!
Who's the PAX 3 for?
The PAX 3 is a perfect dry herb vaporizer if you're looking for a stylish, smart, and ultra-portable everyday carry conduction vape pen that produces great vapor quality with both flowers and dry concentrates. With more features and faster heating than the PAX 2, the PAX 3 is a great choice.
Complete kit & basic kit
PAX now offers two different accessory options with the same PAX 3 portable vaporizer depending on how much you'd like to pay and what kind of vaping you prefer.
The PAX 3 Complete Kit comes with all the same accessories as originally offered with the PAX 3, including the dry Concentrate Insert for the extract inclined. Priced at $249, you get $100 worth of accessories for $50 more than you would pay for the Basic kit.
The PAX 3 Basic Kit, on the other hand, comes with everything you need to vape a full oven of dry herbs and nothing you don't.

New matte finish
PAX has changed out the glossy finish on the PAX 3 for a nice matte version of all the colors.
Small
The PAX 3’s convenient portability fits easily in a pocket or a purse and can be hidden in most people's hand when vaporizing.
The PAX Maintenance Kit includes pipe cleaners and replacement stainless steel screens to keep your vape in prime condition.
Smart
The PAX 3 utilizes both lip and motion sensors that keep the oven hot only when you're actually vaping, and an auto shut-off when you're done. The LED light pedals on the face tell you everything else you need to know, including the temperature setting, battery level, and whether it’s heating up or ready to vape.
Customizable app
PAX released the PAX App, a Bluetooth smartphone app (currently only available for Android devices - read more about the Apple app solution), that allows you to tweak temperature controls and customize heat settings like boost mode, stealth mode, and efficiency mode. It also updates the firmware, and even implements security on your PAX 3. Vaping has come a long way since the release of the original PAX, and this level of customization has changed the game.
Dry concentrates & dry herb
Unlike its predecessor, the PAX 3 Complete Kit comes with a dry Concentrate Insert to switch from loose leaf to dry concentrates whenever you like. Usually, dual-use vaporizers only do one well, either dry herb or dry extracts, but the PAX 3 does a great job with both.
Half-Pack lid for small sessions
Just like the PAX 2 vaporizer, the PAX 3 prefers a tight pack for the kind of vapor production we love from this vape. Now with the Complete Kit, a Half-Pack lid is included - pack half the dry herb and get the same high quality session you would expect from a tightly packed, full oven.
You're covered
We're an authorized retailer of PAX Labs products, which means your PAX 3 is covered by a 10-year warranty and, like everything we sell, our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

United StatesNo longer holds charge
I love the product, but for some reason mine will no longer charge. Any suggestions??

It may be because you are only getting an intermittent charge, Clifton. I'd like you to flip your Pax over and locate the two charging pins on the back. Using a thumbnail, press VERY firmly on each pin individually, then try connecting to the dock again. You may have to do this a few times. If it now registers that it's charging, leave it on the charger for 4.5 hours even if your vape indicates that it is fully charged before that time is up. You only need to do this extended charge once. It's also extremely important to use the USB cable that came with your vape. USB has several standards, and certain cables may not have the capacity to charge your Pax. Try charging your vape with a computer's USB port while no other peripherals are attached rather than using a phone brick. I hope this helps! If not, please contact me here directly:https://www.planetofthevapes.com/pages/contact-us With best regards, Larry

United StatesTotally unimpressed...
I use for medical issues but like the effects. To me, while you stress flavor this does nothing for me. I need substance and I find that in big clouds of smoke which this over priced piece of aluminum doesn't do. Flavor is the last thing I'm interested in...

While the Pax is a great vape, it may not be the best vape for you, Melvin. I see that you are currently working with Mike on this. You're in good hands. We'll make this right for you. With best regards, Larry

Not only do I absolutely love this vape, the overall customer service of this shop is so phenomenal that I purchased a second PAX 3 so that my husband and I could both have one and this time I ordered the complete kit for the extra attachments. And THEN I bought a few more accessories with the TWO $15 gift cards they sent to my email!! The shipping was SO fast. We ordered earlier this week while on vacay and it was delivered by the time we made it home! POTV has made two more customers for life!

United StatesBelieve the hype...and trust the tips from POTV experts and others!
I've owned and loved my Magic Flight Launch Box for over a decade (and still do), but I wanted something a little more ****-tech that required a little less coddling. At first, I was not impressed with the PAX 3. Vapor production wasn't that great, and it seemed to get way too hot. That was until I read the POTV blog post with various tips on how to get the most out of it. The difference is like night and day. First thing's first: the fine grind. I used the MFLB Finishing Grinder to get my material to a nearly powdery consistency that dramatically improved vapor quality. I'd read some conflicting posts about not grinding TOO fine to avoid loose particles in the air path, but if you pack it correctly, you should be okay. That brings me to my next point: the pack. Again, there are conflicting posts about how tight to pack it, but I jammed it in there to the point that I thought, damn, this is too much, but it wasn't. It was perfect. It even reduced how hot the PAX gets during a session. POTV's Tips & Tricks blog post has more info about how to draw vapor and more. Read it if you're having any issues, I can't stress this enough. The funniest part of it all is that I'm actually having an issue getting the screen to sit even remotely close to the bottom of the oven (I've reached out to support about it). Still, even with that flaw, it works incredibly well if you follow the guidelines.
