The Pax by Ploom - best vape ever?

[tripdooks]

Hi Guys

 

So I'm ready to enter the wonderful world of vapes

 

I do most of my toking in the car and on the go so throwing away the bong and getting a proper vaporizer will be so much easier to use and much stealthier.

 

After reading and listening to reviews and researching I decided that I want the Pax by Ploom. Problem is , no one delivers to Australia....

 

I have a few questions regarding the Pax 

 

- Are different voltages used? If I am able to get one, will I be able to simply use an Australian adapter.

 

- Anyone know of anywhere I can purchase one (found some on eBay but none that are reputable sellers and ship internationally)

 

- Reviews, experices ? How good is the Pax? Much better then Magic Flight Box , Iolite etc...?

 

Thanks in advance

I never heard of them,I will hafta check them out.

 

I have the MFLB and Arizer Extreme Q and love them. Extreme Q is on 16hrs a day most days and atleast get used everyday for last 2 years and it works like the day I bought it, so it definently not cheap shit that falls apart after a month.

That is frickin cool, I want one.

 

I checked the company which I got my vape from (australian vaporizers) and it says that ploom have restricted sales to US and canada only for now.

 

Do you have any friends in the US that might purchase it for you and then forward it on to you?

Hey Guys

 

So after some research(well a lot of research actually)Ive found that they usually agree on the following

 

Advantages

 

- Best quality vapor for a portable-comparable only to the davinci

 

- Most stealthy- looks like an everyday electronic device

 

- No hissing sound from butane , no batteries to cary around

 

- Charging through included dock

 

- Vaping seems to be constant through the entire mix , all the mix ends up a nice brown colour

 

- 3 temp settings , fastest to reach desired temp

 

- Looks f*cking awesome

 

- Extremely popular has been tried and tested hundreds of times over hundreds of scenarios. Known to be among the best if not the best portable vape

 

Disadvantages

 

- Expensive , most expensive on the market

 

- Australian users need to buy a step down transformer as the Pax uses 110v

- Bit more difficult to clean then some , also if it gets to dirty the mouth piece will not pop up until properly cleaned

 

- Dont know if 10 year warranty will apply as this technically is not sold outside US & Canada(but there are plans to maybe bring it to Australia in August.....)

There are alot of reviews on youtube ,

 

Ive found this one to be the most concise , shows how thick the vapor smoke is on separate settings etc...

 

 

 

This is the adapter you need to buy to use outside US and CANADA

All up you will spend $250 on the Pax including shipping and $50 on the adapter including shipping so $300 all up.

 

 

Can't wait to get my hands on this , just the fact that I have to carry a transformer around if I want to charge is putting me off...but most of my charging should be done at home anyway.

When my sis goes to the states in a few months I might get her to pic me up one.

 

Or maybe one of these.

The ViVape which is the non potable "home" vape looks good. If my Extreme Q dies I may go for one of these which can be bought through Australian Vapourizers.

Further pics and excellent review

First post here but just wrote to say how much i love my pax. I bought my pax from vapeworld and had it forwarded to Perth via shipito for anyone interested. The charger is dual voltage so you just need a plug converter.

Previous vape was an iolite which lasted 2 years until it finally died. Now that I got the pax, it only now occurs to me how bad the iolite was. Much bigger clouds and I get way more high with the same dosages.

I can literally take this thing anywhere which is why I prefer portables. I even got a car charger adapter of eBay for those long road trips.

The only downside is the amount of cleaning that is required. I baby mine so I don't mind cleaning it after every bowl and for the 2 weeks I've had, it's been working flawless.
