Here’s one Top 10 List that is no joke. The brand new Pax Vaporizer blows every other portable device out of the water, and here are the reasons why I’m using it as my main vaporizer right now.
1. The Pax Vaporizer is the most portable one out there.
It goes right into your pocket and you forget that you’re carrying it, because it’s only 1.4” by 4.1”. None of the other major portables (I’m thinking the Arizer Solo and Iolite) are that small. All of them are bulkier, some are so big they really stretch the meaning of the word portable.
2. The Pax looks stunning.
Elegant design. This unit looks like it was designed to be sold at the Apple Store. Anodyne aluminum construction. A medical grade stainless steel vapor path. Three color choices (blue, purple, or black). Very sleek, very tech looking, very cool. I’m proud to rock this thing when I’m out and about.
3. The Pax vapor is super-strong.
The first time I used it, I couldn’t believe how strong the vapor is, and how easy the draw is. I only needed three medium-size inhalations to achieve the effect I wanted. It really is a crazy experience when you first try it because it feels 2x stronger than most of the other portables I’ve tried.
4. The Pax battery is amazing.
The rechargeable lithium ion battery charges fully in under one hour and gets the device warmed up in less than one minute! Better still, a fully charged up vaporizer is good for two hours or more of nonstop use. This is pretty unheard of. And if you want to know how much charge is left in the unit, you just have to shake the Pax and it tells you! Like I said, amazing.

5. The battery’s “intelligent mode” is even more impressive.
When you put the vaporizer down, the battery is programmed to go into sleep mode (low power mode). It will only crank up again when you pick up the vaporizer again. This feature really extends your battery life. I was able to use my Pax vaporizer over 3 full days for that reason, I kid you not.
6. The Pax Vaporizer is easy to use.
The “oven door” for herb loading couldn’t be simpler, and if you have any trouble at all, the instruction manual is presented in a picture book style that is crazy easy to follow. You simply turn the unit on, load the herb in, and boom, you are ready to go.
7. The Pax has three temperature settings.
Casual herb users will only use one, but if you want, you can adjust between low, medium, and high temperature settings. Very useful for those who like to vape at certain temperatures.
8. The Pax has only two removable parts.
Solid state, reliable quality; easy to clean and very resistant to breakage. As a test (I wouldn’t suggest trying this by the way) I dropped it on a concrete floor from 6 feet and the unit has no damage whatsoever and kept working flawlessly.
9. The only possible negative about the Pax is the price.
Although for serious herb users, or casual ones who demand quality, the price is well worth it, and reasonable, for all the features you get and the value. And in fact the average price of $250 is comparable to other high end vaporizers that don’t perform nearly as well.

10. Ploom, the company that makes Pax Vaporizer, is new to the game.
That might sound like a negative. But a company that can produce a product this good is in the game for keeps. And they don’t want to risk their reputation and future growth by putting out damaged goods. Ploom, based out of San Francisco, is doubling down on its future by putting out a device as great as the Pax Vaporizer.
VapeWorld has the best price, and they did great when the Pax first came out. In fact it sold out right away and for a while they were on backorder when the Pax Vaporizer was first released. As the excitement builds, more and more people are purchasing it. There is a reason that multiple publications have given shout outs to it, the unit is just awesome.

Got this puppy right when it came out. I like to consider myself a vaporizer connoisseur because I own 5 different vaporizers. The pax is my new go to vaporizer, especially when I’m not at home. You really cant beat the size and efficiency of this unit. I’m a big fan.
Mine was backordered for a bit because they sold out due to popularity so I had to wait an extra week, but it was worth the wait.
If you can’t afford the Pax, get the Iolite or the Arizer Solo, but if you can, I’d suggest the pax. Gets 2 thumbs up from me.
I really like how small this thing is. Fits right in your pocket. You do need to inhale to get the vapor, it doesn’t just float in there, but it does the trick for me, thats for sure.
Charges really fast too.
For those who don’t feel like reading the long above review:
1) does it work? yes
2) is it the best portable out there right now? yes
3) is it inexpensive? no
4) is it worth it? yes
the end. if you are serious about vaporizing, get a pax vaporizer.
Sleek design,decent battery life, certainly works. Higher price point but in general you get what you pay for.
Have used it 2 weeks so far and have no complaints other than the unit gets a little warm to the touch if you put it on the highest setting but nothing crazy.
Just got mine today. This thing is so amazing, much better than any other portable! It is a little expensive, but once I used it for the first time I understood why. It is well worth it! I would really recommend this product, my only regret is that it took me this long to buy one.
Don’t have a point of reference because this is my first vaporizer. That said it’s pretty awesome. Very smooth, provides a flavor I’ve never experienced, and extremely effective.
The fact it has a 10-year warranty (and given this product I seen them making it) is also very nice because I plan on using this thing a long time!
I had never tried a vaporizer until I got my purple Pax. After researching the ones available to me, I felt this one ewas perfect, and I have never been more right. It is truly amazing. Easy to maintain, portable, great looking, rechargeable battery life is long, sleep mode is awesome, effects are phenomenal, oven holds a lot, herb lasts, and my lungs have never felt better. I LOVE MY PAX!!!
This is a great vaporizer!
Easy to use, easy to clean and perfect to take anywhere. The only thing that I would like is a car charger for it, wonder if they will create one, or if they have one… I want one!
The charger DC voltage is 9v. All you have to do is get a charger that is rated at 9v and hook up the charger base to it. All the plug ins for different voltages are standardized so you cannot mix 9v for 5v, for example.
enjoy your Pax on the road!
I really enjoyed my pax till it quit charging. I researched it and bought one on ebay. Buyer beware they will not repair your unit or honor the 10 year warranty unless you purchase it from an “authorized dealer”. I am trying to get them to fix mine being that I only had it for about 3 months before it started acting up and the charger quit working. They say since I bought it on ebay it is not covered even though it was new in the box and is clearly a genuine product made by their company. I’m not sure how a manufacturer can say I didn’t buy it from an authorized dealer when it had to be sold by them to an authorized dealer in the first place. Seems like they could control whom they sell them to with serial number etc. to keep track of where they come from. If they built it they should not stick it to you they should just honor the warranty and keep unauthorized sellers from getting inventory in the first place.
