Quick Answer
Use a Pax concentrate insert to turn your Pax 3 into a wax-capable vaporizer: load a small amount of concentrate into the insert, place it in the oven, and heat at a high temperature for best results.
Why Use a Concentrate Insert?
The Pax 3 is designed for dry herbs, but with a concentrate insert, you can enjoy waxes and oils without damaging the device. The insert holds the concentrate away from the oven walls, preventing mess and making cleanup easier.
This accessory is especially useful if you switch between flower and concentrates, as it keeps your Pax 3 ready for both without cross-contamination.
Choosing the Right Temperature
Concentrates require higher temperatures than dry herbs to vaporize fully. Start with the highest temperature setting on your Pax 3 and adjust down if you prefer a smoother hit.
Remember that the concentrate insert may affect heat distribution, so give the device a few extra seconds to reach temperature.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Insert: Ensure the Pax concentrate insert is clean and dry. Attach the replacement oven lid and check that the O-rings are properly seated to create an airtight seal. A loose O-ring can cause vapor leaks and poor performance.
- Load the Concentrate: Use a small dab tool to place a rice-grain-sized amount of wax into the insert. Avoid overfilling, as excess concentrate can overflow and make a mess. Start with a tiny amount; you can always add more.
- Insert into the Oven: Place the loaded insert into the Pax 3 oven, ensuring it sits flat. Close the magnetic lid securely. If the lid doesn't close easily, remove the insert and reposition it.
- Heat the Device: Turn on your Pax 3 and select the highest temperature setting. Wait for the device to reach temperature and then take slow, gentle draws. If vapor is too thin, wait a few more seconds; if it tastes burnt, lower the temperature.
- Clean After Use: After each session, remove the insert while it's still warm and wipe it with a cotton swab. Clean the oven and lid regularly to prevent residue buildup. Regular cleaning extends the life of both the insert and your Pax 3.
