I Never Thought I'd Be Asking A Vape Question
    #22313419 - 09/30/15 11:06 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

When the e-cigs came out years ago, I didn't blame anyone who wanted to go that route, but personally I thought I'd look a bit stupid with one. So I stuck to joints and glass pipes. But I was at a friend's place a few weeks ago and tried his Silver Surfer vaporizer and it was like...refreshing, I guess? I don't think I'll ever give up the old school methods but I am thinking about picking up a Pax 2 vaporizer to start because I want something I can hit when I'm out and I'm not really in the Silver Surfer price range. I've heard good things about the Pax 2 but I guess I'm just posting this in case someone's like "No, dude, that's a big mistake!" Any horror stories out there?

Are you referring to tobacco vapes or weed? You mention e-cigs, but then mention the pax.

Anyhow, for herb I've used the pax one. Tbh I didn't really care for it because I felt like I had to rip the thing over and over and over just to get high.

For perspective, the only time I ever got "stoned" off of the pax is when my friend packed a fresh tight oven and went to use the bathroom. While he was in the shitter I ripped the thing probably 15 times, I actually cooked the entire bowl. That was the only time I've ever gotten "stoned" off it.

That said, it was good for keeping a high going while on the go. I kinda compare it to bongs, like beer to alcohol. Bongs for me are like shots, they get me fucked up real quick, but the pax was like beer after you're drunk. Nice for keeping the buzz going.

I know a lot of people who have the PAX vaporizer (they use it to vaporize weed though) and I've ONLY heard fantastic things about it.

But it's like $300. =/

Yeah, I was meaning for weed - a lot of people here mistakenly refer to e-cigs and vape pens as the same thing. I know the Pax is neither but it's sort of along the same vein for me since I am pretty much a joint/glass pipe man with an occasional bong rip. Thanks for clarifying your experiences! It actually helps me a lot - checking out fuckcombustion too for a bit more research before dropping a chunk of my paycheck LOL

You can get a SSV for less than the price of a pax.

SSV can go for about 90$ new.

Where did you find it that cheap? I'm having trouble finding an SSV for less than $200!

You can email the SSV company and ask for them to setup an order for a 'blemished unit', they have some units with slight cosmetic defects like a scratch; most of the time it's not even noticeable and you can discuss the flaw in further detail when emailing them. The unit itself still works the same and is in no way functionally defective.

Last time I checked it was just the unit for 90$ - You'll still have to get a heater cover, wand and tubing.  I believe it would probably end up running around 120 at the most all together.

This was my experience too. I don't remember the rig. Somebody lent it to me for a week while I was in Portland. I had hit that thing so many times to get a buzz. It had sour diesel oil in it too. Even after I got a buzz, I felt like I was missing some of the spectrum.

I like smoke though too, so I am biased.

It's the terpenoids

Concentrates have a higher percentages of cannabinoids but they also have less terpenes/terpenoids such as myrcene, this is why smoking a bowl of flowers can seem to have a more full-bodied high than say just taking dabs and what not

Diminish the sub-principle and leave its toxic trace..

Cool, I didn't know that. When I smoke, I'll stick to the smoke. Nothing compares to a joint IMO.

Rad, I'll email SSV about a defective one. Hope their CS is cool - I've heard a few horror stories but I'm an optimist so I'm hoping for the best!

I didn't realize the lower terpenes in oil either but it makes sense! Lots of good info here! Thanks, guys!

Now here is a topic I do know shyte about. I own 1 Transporter, 2 Pax's, 1 Firefly, 1 Crafty and 2 Volcanos. Pax's are great portables and are simple to use and quite discreet. With their design you also get to re vape the resin. The cons are that it does need regular cleaning, its draw can be a bit slow, and its taste goes down hill when the resin hits the oven. The Crafty's battery is too short, it uses the same heating design as the Firefly which means you have to draw very slowly to get decent vapor. The overall winner, hands down, is the Volcano, which would have been very similar to the SS you tried but the Volcano uses bags and not a whip. I still like a rolled one every now and again but its tough on the lungs once you've gotten used to vaping. The Volcano gives tons of vapor, allows for great heat control on the digital, and always tastes great. I'm also of the opinion it does a better job than does a roller in that you get close to 100% of the good stuff as compared to 60% to 70% on a joint.

PS: If you do get the Pax 2 try lifting what they call the screen off the bottom of the oven in order to improve the draw considerably and delay the need for cleaning. The resin as it backs down the tube to the oven tends to cook when it gets there thus plugging the air passage past the screen. I started by putting a small piece of bent SS wire under the screen just to lift it a mm or so. Then bought one of the after market oven filler plates they use for small herb loads. Both work well in providing a bigger air passage past the screen. In the Pax 2 they opened the scallops on the screen to give better air passage but lifting that screen off the oven bottom will undoubtedly help even more.

I thought the same until the Volcano.
