(Read more)PAX 3 Portable Herbal Vaporizer
Pax Labs have packed some serious upgrades into the Pax 3 but maintained the exact same compact body style, wide accessible herb oven, and easy to use charger functionality. The Pax 3 houses a larger 3500mAh cell allowing you to enjoy 5 - 10 full sessions from a full charge, and has a ready heat time of 15 seconds or less with an evenly spread heat distribution around the herb for impeccable flavour and vapor production. The Pax 3 basic kit from Pax Labs includes the same cutting edge vaporizer but with fewer accessories than the Pax 3 Full Kit, including the concentrate insert required for wax and oils. This means the Basic Kit is for dry herb only, but the concentrate insert is sold separately.

When people talk about herbal vaporizers, Pax Labs is often the first name mentioned and for good reason. Since the company’s founding in 2007, Pax has become synonymous with the herbal vaporizer, thank to their many innovations starting with the Pax by Ploom and the wildly successful Pax 2. In many ways, the new Pax 3 take everything the company has ever learned and bundles it into a single innovative device, that combines years of technical prowess with smart and elegant design.

While some people may discount the capabilities of the Pax 3, due in part to its size, the device itself offers a ton of power and features within its diminutive package. The battery, which has been improved from the Pax 2, is ample enough to work all day while the on-board chip provides a host of functions that any vaper will find useful. The package even includes a special accessory that allows the Pax 3 to work with herbal concentrates.
The included concentrate option provides a sense of duality to the Pax 3, giving vapers a single option to use for multiple materials. Finally, the unique heating method used by the Pax 3 ensures each hit from the device offers up potent plumage, with a focus on flavour, density, and efficiency.
Design and Features
From a first glance, the Pax 3 is quite similar to the Pax 2 and you wouldn’t be completely wrong to think these devices look similar. The new Pax 3 does draw design elements from its predecessor, including similar dimensions (3.87” x 1.21” x 0.85”). However, the Pax 3 does feature a new metal exterior, giving the device a more robust and durable feel. The new metal material helps the device standout in the hand of the user and the curved features of the device help it fit perfectly in the hand or pocket, while also hinting at the futuristic and powerful capabilities of the internals. The Pax 3 is currently available in Matte Black, Matte Rose Gold, Matte Silver, and Teal.
In terms of internals, the Pax 3 is definitely nothing to discount or scoff at. As we mentioned before, Pax Labs is no stranger to innovation and the company has taken everything they've ever learned and put it in the Pax 3. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the Pax 3 is by far one of the strongest and most efficient herbal vaporizers on the market today.
Battery Life
The 3500mAh battery ensures users can enjoy 5-10 vaping sessions before the battery completely dies out. The battery is rechargeable through a proprietary magnetic USB charging dock that can fully fill the battery in just under an hour and a half.

While the battery capabilities may be interesting to some, the true appeal of the device lies in its technical capabilities. The PAX 3 comes with 4 different pre-set temperature levels (360 degrees F, 380 degrees F, 400 degrees F, 420 degrees F), all of which work with the Pax 3’s 15-second heat up time. A single control button on the device turns the Pax 3 on and off, and can also be used to cycle through the temperature settings. Shaking the Pax 3 will showcase the battery life remaining on the device, which will be indicated through an LED indicator arranged in the shape of the Pax logo. There are 4 LED lights on the device, with each line representing how much of a charge the Pax 3 has.
The LED indicators also provide real-time communication for heating and is combined with a vibration function to let the user know when the Pax 3 has reached the desired temperature setting. The Pax 3 also comes with unique lip-sensing technology that will automatically cool down the mouthpiece once the device is set down. All these features add to the user-friendly nature of the device and makes it perfect for novice users.
Portable Vaporizer
Part of the Pax 3’s capabilities come from the internal heating chamber featured on the device. Thanks to the marvellous work of Pax Labs’ engineers, the device manages to pack in the same quality seen on much larger devices. Part of the appeal of the Pax 3, lies in its ability to truly draw out the optimal flavour of whatever material you use. Convection heating is the main reason for this but is often relegated to bulkier desktop devices. That being said, the Pax 3 manages to integrate a very capable convection heating chamber that pulls optimal vapour and flavour from the material its heating.
Smartphone compatibility
- Unique to the Pax 3 is its ability to connect to a smartphone for a more in-depth level of customizability. Available for Android*, the PAX Vapor App gives users an added layer of control over their device, in an easy-to-use and intuitive overlay. With the app, users will be able to:
- Switch through the various dynamic heating modes
- Select the temperature of their choice
- Monitor battery levels
- Customize the device’s LED colours
- Disable or enable vibration feedback

This companion app is truly unique to the Pax 3 and gives it the distinction of being one of the few smart vaporizers on the market. Furthermore, it adds another sense of innovation to the Pax 3 and showcases the intersection of technology and how it can be leveraged for vaping purposes. The device will connect to your phone through Bluetooth, so be sure to have that enabled on your smartphone.
