Pros:
Its small

Cons:
lousy battery life

very poor vapor production

Absolutely horrible draw resistance. you'll get more vapor sucking a raw bud...........

useless mouth piece design

stupidly expensive

My $35 Hebe Titan2 was a better vape by far!


DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Mine's going to be ebay fodder......
 
Sorry mate, but I disagree. When I first got it, I was disappointed. Then I began to understand that vaping is always gonna be different from combustion. Then I started to compare portable/stealth vapes. I`ve tried a few. The Pax 2 is a good, reliable portable(stealthy) unit(for UK med users).If i was in the USA and legal! I`d ask why you don`t stick with the crafty/Mighty or just a desktop(if at home). Or get a grasshopper(an awesome device, seriosly awesome for a portable!). I have had good vapour production from it(r.e. Pax 2)found you`ve got to crank it up to get a reasonable hit, 2 for mid effect and true flavour, 3/4 for a warmer throat, but a reasonable hit... for a portable(it`s conduction though). I`ve now got my replacement hopper...it`s great btw. Instant heating and the most efficient way of consuming budz that I`ve come across in over 30 years! Congrats to GHL(if it continues to function! 555). Draw resistance is a personal thing I find! I like smoking my herb mostly(I`m attempting to ween m`self off baccy cos it`s `orrible(but I`m addicted...)., so I like some draw resistance...My hopper is more consistent(if it continues to work! 555 :) ) and easier for a smoker to adjust to, imo. I cant comment on your Hebe @$35, but i`d be surprised if the $35 vape comes close to the build quality and materials used that the pax 2 has. These are very important factors for folks with certain health issues. Not meaning t`knock your review brother...just putting :2cents: into the pot! :bighug: :note: :passit:
 
I'm a damned gadget freak so I had to try it. Got a Mighty and yes I like it. I have a Davinci also and its my go to vape. Yeah so I have several I was just looking for something real small to replace my dead Pinnacle.

I don't mind some draw resistance, even prefer it that's one reason I like the Davinci better than the Mighty.
I also have an Iolite. I like it it works well and I take that on trips with me as I got it cheap and if I lose it or whatever, I'm not out much.
Glad you like your Pax. I meant what I said about my Titan being better though!
I'll porbably get another pinnacle though.

:pass:

Pinnacle was to hot for me. Plus they flucked me over with their non- existent customer service. Two of my good pals swear by the PP(I sold mine t`one of them!). Pax has excellent customer service(nice warranty too!). The PP definitely hits hard, just didn`t quite do it for me. Horses for courses eh! :cheers: When they start being available(probably Feb/March), I reckon the GH is one you should try. Nice t`chat bro! :pass:
 
I personally love my Pax and Pax 2. Gets me just what I need and very economical on the meds. Great design and the ten year warranty is dope. I had to send my original Pax back after it had some issues after 3 years of heavy use and they were very professional and fast when it came to replacing it.

I'm also interested in the Firefly, but as far as I'm concerned the Pax is as good as it gets for a portable vape meant to last a long time. Great to bring along on a bike ride or to a concert.
 
The problem is people are being duped by all the bullshit about what the device is constructed from. Stainless steel, glass, ceramics for the vapor path. All use one of these materials if its a true vaporizer. There is no difference in any of these medically. There is no advantage to any of these materials over the other as far as vapor quality and safety. In fact, I'd be concerned with glass cracking from repeated heating and cooling, and releasing splinters into thew vapor path.

The "plastics" used in mouth pieces of most are just as inert as glass, these are medical grade plastics that are closer to ceramics than to true plastic. I'd be skeptical of some for sure, but let's take the Hebe Titan 1 and 2. Don't know it right? Well you probably do as 60% of the "pen style" vapes on the market are re-packaged titans.
Kandy Pens, G Pen Pro, Woulf Mods, and many others are all Hebe Titans.

I do like the Mighty. But the DaVinci and DaVinci Ascent are my favorites. Nothing in a portable matches them for vapor productions. I was looking for something stealthier was all.
And I'm not the only one who feels this way about the Pax.For every one that loves it is someone who hates it. Personally, you couldn't give me one free. I Literally burned my lip with the pax2's hot vapor!

Good points well made mate :thumbsup:. Can`t argue with you, each to their own :cheers:. I`m still waiting on my Hoppers and still smoke! :smoking:(I still think the Pax 2 is a nice product, but it stinks in `m`pocket`, so it dosen`t get as much use as it should..:eyebrows:). I hope to receive my GHs sometime(someday! 555)...Till then I`ll continue to combust, more often than not! :pass:
 
I smoke maybe 1 joint a week just because I like too lol! But the vaporizer has become king here. I've never owned a bong, but may get one to use occasionally.

right now its a blueberry corn muffin and a few hits of Auto Ultimate in the Ascent!
