Pax Era Review: Too Cheap To Be True?

Ever find yourself in a haze of confusion when shopping for a cannabis vape pen? 

Trust me, I get it. The market’s flooded with options, and you’re just trying to get the highest…quality, that is. 

Pax Era Review to the rescue! 

With five years of dispensary experience and a long history of vaping, I’ve got the 411 you’re looking for.

In this post, I’ll give you the lowdown on the Pax Era—what makes my heart sing and what grinds my gears. Is it worth the hype and the price? 

Stick around and you’ll find out. Lighters not required.

Pax Era Overview 

Have you ever looked at a Pax Era and thought it looked familiar?

Well, you weren’t hallucinating from that last hit. 

Pax Labs (the brand behind the Pax Era) developed Juul, the notorious nicotine vaporizer company. No wonder they have the same sleek, pocket-friendly design.

Now, let’s talk about what the brand stands for – social reform.

Pax states they’re all about social reform, sustainability, and safe access to cannabis. 

Doing a quick search pops up information outlining their Peace by Pax campaign. The initiative focuses on social reform, safe access, and sustainability in the cannabis industry. Efforts include destigmatizing and legalizing cannabis, creating equitable access to opportunities, and supporting organizations dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform.

In the end, the Pax Era scoreboard (percentages outline the weighting) looks like this:

• Usability & Effects (60%): 4.5/5
• Customer Service (30%): 4/5
• Ethical and Sustainability (5%): 3/5
• Education and Awareness (5%): 4/5

All these digits crunched down to give us a final score of 4.25 out of 5. Not bad. Not bad at all!

What I Liked 

The moment I laid my hands on the Pax Era, I was blown away by its clean, modern aesthetic. 

Forget those big, bulky vapes shouting, “Look at me, I’m vaping!”—this vape pen slides into my pocket smoother than my phone ever could.

So, what’s it like in action? Picture this: Halloween weekend, costumes on, drinks flowing. I’m not a big drinker, but hey, I like to vibe. Amid the chaos, I pulled out the Pax Era.

It blends so well with regular nicotine vapes that no one even noticed. My pals assumed it was another Juul—until they realized I was cruising on an entirely different wavelength.

Operation? Easy. There’s zero button-fumbling; lift it to your lips, and you’re airborne.

And let’s talk about that draw—like sipping on champagne. There’s no need to puff like it’s a thick chocolate milkshake. A gentle inhale packs a punch.

Now, the dollar talk. It’s only $35, but it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. 

It’s a solidly built little gadget that feels good in your hand without making you feel like you’re holding something precious and breakable.

So, let’s get to the bottom line. 

Is the Pax Era reinventing the vape wheel? Nah, but it’s offering a ride that’s smooth, discrete, and gets you where you want to go.

What Could Be Better 

Okay, the Pax Era is pretty neat, but it isn’t perfect. 

It’s the Pax Plus that’s closer to perfect. 

Case in point: there’s no app like there is with its big brother, the Pax Era Pro. I mean, come on, even my toaster has an app these days.

Alright, it’s time to dish about the pods because if you want to use the Pax Era, you’ll need them. 

Yes, they’re produced by Pax, and you can only snag them from vetted oil makers, meaning they’re clean. But hold up—here’s the hook: you’re locked into Pax-only pods. Meaning, no mixing and matching with other brands. 

It’s like buying a coffee machine that only works with one type of bean. A bit of a vibe-killer, in my opinion.

And Pax customer service has room for improvement too. I like the warranty, but it took me forever to figure out how to contact them. 

Technical Specs 

If you’re a fan of modern tech and a clean design, you’ll probably vibe with the Pax Era.

For starters, it’s got 4 LEDs that shape out the company’s logo on the side. A little razzle-dazzle never hurt, right? 

Charging? USB-C port on the bottom. This bad boy quick-charges reasonably fast. It takes about 45 minutes to charge fully, and the charge lasted me all day. 

Now, I’d like to welcome you to the world of Pop-and-Click Technology (yes, the same thing that annoyed the h*ll out of me). 

To change the temperature setting, you’ll need to do a bit of in-and-out action with the cart like you’re pumping a bike pump. You’ll feel a slight click, and then the leaf lights will go from “I’m chill” to “I’m hot.” 

As I mentioned earlier, the Pop-and-Click tech and I fought, and I lost. I like the concept, though. Pax gets an A for the idea but a C for execution. 

Temperature-wise, you can cruise between 520-790 degrees. Just inhale and feel the buzz as the dual-wick system in the clog-and-leak-resistant housing gets to work. 

Last but not least, Pax definitely improved from the previous Pax Era model. We’re talking 50% bigger hits and a new anti-clog feature. Because who has time for wimpy puffs and jammed gear? Not me. 

Features 

The Pax Era has some pretty cool and some not-so-cool features. 

First, whether you’re vibing green, feeling pink, chillin’ in blue, or keeping it classic with black, it’s got you covered in colors. Yours truly is flaunting the pink because….well, it may have matched my Barbie Halloween outfit. 

When it comes to the Pax pods, it’s annoying that they’re all you can use, but they are supposed to be high quality. 

I tested out the Delta 8 pods in Chemdog and Super Limoncello strains. There’s a teeny-tiny QR code on the bottom that I hoped would bring me to a COA, but instead, it brought me to an article on the British Locomotive Society. Say what? Very confused.

I went to Pax for help. To get in touch, you have to submit a support ticket on a page that is super annoying to navigate, thanks to that very persistent footer. I have yet to hear back. 

The COAs are available online, however. 

If you’re looking for quality, the Pax Era is top-tier. The vape itself is made with food-grade material. For example, if the Pax Era were a restaurant, it would be 3-star Michelin rated, even though the pods lacked certification. 

And for all you messy Marvins out there, no worries—this thing is leak-proof. Yeah, that’s right, no sticky messes in your pocket or purse.

Vapor Quality 

Alright, let’s dive into the real MVP: that vapor quality. 

Smooth as silk.  No burn, no bite, just pure, unadulterated bliss sliding softly down your throat.

Your vocal cords after a hit? They’re not screaming; they’re singing. It’s like this vape’s on a mission to serenade your insides, not shake them up like a maraca. 

When it comes to flavor, the Pax Era has it down. It turns your favorite strain into a full-blown flavor experience. If you’ve got a thing for those all-natural terpenes, this vape is your vibe. 

Even after hitting this all night, my throat didn’t complain the next day. 

Ease of use? Forget huffing and puffing; a gentle tug is all you need. The Pax Era pretty much says, “Relax, I got you.”

And can we talk clouds? Not just any clouds—these are fluffy, majestic masterpieces you’d want to Instagram. So, if you’re all about that cloud-chasing life, get ready to float high in the sky. 

Battery Life 

It’s time to dish about the Pax Era’s battery life, and let me tell you, this sleek little device kept up with my puff-puff-pass routine like a champ.

First off, 250 puffs per charge. It’s like the little vape that could, and it does. 

You’re probably wondering about the charge time. 

Mine died while I was getting ready to leave the house. By the time I was finished getting ready (about 45 minutes), however, it was fully charged. 

Now, let’s talk longevity. 

This gadget lasted nearly half a full gram cart. On a night out, I wasn’t victim to that one awkward moment where I’m reaching for a hit and get that dreaded red light in return. 

Era or Era Pro? 

If you’ve got both the Pax Era and Pax Era Pro chilling on your table like I do (yes, I’m living that double-vape life), you’re probably in a daze, wondering which one to pick up and puff. 

Let’s break it down. 

Firstly, who are these for? The Pax Era is your entry-level buddy—ideal for those who just wanna light up without fussing around too much. 

The Pro version (on the left in the image below) is made for you techie stoners. It’s like holding a mini-supercomputer. Seriously, it syncs with an app and opens up a Pandora’s box of customizable features. 

Plus, the NFC chips inside the pods connect to the Pax Era Pro and are tagged to the exact batch of cannabis they contain. The app even shows you the individual test results for that specific lot. While this is awesome, I wish there was a way to see them online. 

In the puff department, the Pax Pro outshines the Pax Era with 250 puffs (70-80 sessions) compared to Era’s 150 puffs (40-50 sessions). That’s 65% more battery life, guys!

And for those who love a little flair, the Pax Pro version has color LEDs and haptic feedback. It’s like your vape is talking to you without actually talking.

The Pax Era Isn’t For You If…..

So, you’re thinking the Pax Era might be your next vape pen obsession? Not so fast! Sure, it’s sleek and savvy, but it’s not for everyone. 

First, if you love mixing and matching different brands of carts, know that the Pax Era locks you into a monogamous relationship with Pax-only cartridges. For some, that’s a deal-breaker right there.

Next up, let’s talk temperature. You know how some things sound better in theory than they are in practice? That’s how I felt about the Pax Era’s click-and-pop temperature settings. 

It might seem cool at first, but if you’re someone who craves more finesse in your vaping, it’s not going to cut it.

And don’t get me started if you’re an app lover. You’d think that in this tech-savvy world, every vape would sync up with your smartphone, right? Wrong! The basic Pax Era model doesn’t offer app compatibility. Only the Pax Era Pro gets that VIP treatment.

So if any of these quirks hit a nerve, the Pax Era might not be your best bet. 

The Final Verdict: Pax Era Review 

After diving deep into the Pax Era, it’s time to lay down the final verdict. Is this pocket-sized wonder the vape of your dreams? It might just be…if you’re willing to commit. 

This Pax Era review allowed me to discover this vape pen is sleek, easy to use, and offers some fantastic, terpene-rich flavor profiles. 

It was recently redesigned to deliver bigger, more potent hits, and it shows. The anti-clog feature is pretty sweet too, making each draw as consistent as the last. 

But hold up, the Pax Era isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
