What are the Pax temperature settings?

How do I know how much battery life is left in Pax?

Do You Speak Pax?

The LED Indicator on Pax tells you everything you need to know when using your device. Whether you're charging, cleaning or changing the temperature setting, the LED will blink, pulse, or shine a solid color at different times. Primary LED signals can be found in the User Guide in the Manuals section.

LED Indicator Guide

Power On - The LED will pulse purple for 30 seconds and then turn green when the oven reaches your desired temperatures setting.

Standby - A blue LED indicates standby when Pax is motionless for 30 seconds.

Battery Levels - Shake Pax to check your battery level: red blinks = less than 10%, yellow blinks = less than 80%, green blinks = 80% - 100%

Charging - Pax will shine orange while charging and will turn green when your battery reaches at least an 80% charge.

LED FAQ

PAX is displaying your current temperature setting -- this means the internal sensor inside PAX that detects whether or not your mouthpiece is inserted, is having a bit of trouble reading the mouthpiece as being in the "ON" position. The sensor then tells your PAX to stop heating, just in case you're cleaning your device.

When the sensor isn't detecting your mouthpiece, PAX's mouthpiece lubricant is the answer. The lubricant cleans the internal sensor and helps prevent build-up. The lubricant should be applied after each cleaning when it gets wiped away.

Regularly soaking the mouthpiece in isopropyl alcohol and applying mouthpiece lubricant is one of the best ways to ensure your PAX continues to perform in top vape-shape.

My mouthpiece is moving slow or is stuck in the closed position.

There are a few reasons a mouthpiece becomes sticky or stuck in the closed position, but only you can prevent a stuck mouthpiece.

Reason #1: Buildup on the mouthpiece metal stem and sliding ring.

Overtime, residue will build up on the outside and inside of the metal mouthpiece stem and can begin to cause your mouthpiece to move slow or sluggishly. Unless you regularly maintain your PAX by soaking the mouthpiece and applying mouthpiece lubricant, this will get more severe and your mouthpiece could eventually become jammed in place.

The sliding ring that sits underneath the mouthpiece plastic helps latch your mouthpiece in the OFF position. It's important to keep this piece clean so that it moves freely or your device may need servicing to remove the mouthpiece.

Try this: The best way to remove a sticky mouthpiece is to gently warm up the residue that's preventing the mouthpiece from releasing. You can try blowing warm air into the top of the closed mouthpiece, leave your PAX in the sun or in your pocket and let body heat do the work for you. Press the mouthpiece down slowly but firmly, wiggling it back and forth, until it slowly pushes itself back out. If you are able to remove your mouthpiece (whew!), clean and lubricate your mouthpiece before reinserting it into PAX. Check out our related FAQ's below.

Reason #2: Disassembling the mouthpiece.

PAX asks that you never disassemble your mouthpiece. If you have disassembled your mouthpiece at any point and it is stuck in the off position, it will need to be sent to the PAX Pros for service.

Do not try this: Put down the pliers! Please do not ever use any tools to try and remove your mouthpiece as this may cause permanent damage to your PAX, and is not covered under the warranty.

If you are unable to remove a stuck mouthpiece contact the PAX Pros using our Support Request form.

I have to push my mouthpiece in slightly for PAX to heat up.

Are you seeing a temperature color on the LED (yellow, orange, or red) when this occurs? It sounds like the internal sensor inside PAX is having a bit of trouble detecting the mouthpiece as being in the "on" position and is telling your PAX to stop heating, just in case you're cleaning your device!

PAX's mouthpiece lubricant is the answer. The lubricant cleans the internal sensor and helps prevent build-up. The lubricant should be applied after each cleaning when it gets wiped away.

Mouthpiece Lubricant application instructions

What is the mouthpiece lubricant and how do I use it?

Mouthpiece Lubricant should be a part of your regular maintenance. Applying PAX's food-grade, water-soluble lubricant to your mouthpiece after cleaning (or even in between cleanings) prevents buildup from accumulating and ensures smooth mouthpiece action every time. Lubricant also keeps the internal sensor that detects whether or not the mouthpiece is in the ON/OFF position free of buildup.

Selected by the same engineers who designed the device, lubricant helps protect and prolong the life of your investment and makes future cleanings a breeze.

Can I soak my mouthpiece?

The PAX Pros recommend soaking your mouthpiece (and your screen too) as part of your regular cleaning routine.

  • Throw the mouthpiece and screen in a container of Isopropyl Alcohol or warm soapy water while you clean the rest of your PAX.

  • Or soak the mouthpiece and screen at least overnight, at least once a month.

  • Rinse with water and dry both off.

  • Reinsert the screen.

  • Apply lubricant to the mouthpiece per instructions and click a few times to distribute.

Deep cleaning your mouthpiece

  • Soaking: Your mouthpiece should be soaked at least once a month for 30 minutes. Or better yet, regularly soak your mouthpiece and screen together while you clean the vapor path and oven of PAX.

  • Sliding ring: Located on the metal mouthpiece stem, next to where it connects to the black, plastic part, is a small sliding ring. This component should slide freely back and forth. If it appears sticky or stuck in place, be sure to give it some extra care. Soaking the mouthpiece in isopropyl alcohol and wiping it down should do the trick.

  • Inside the metal stem: This is a favorite place for residue to hide out. One trick for cleaning in here is to bend a pipe cleaner in half, to double its diameter. Dip it in isopropyl alcohol and get a snug scrub of the inside of the stem.

If you prefer to have a totally fresh start with your mouthpiece, we offer replacements in our webstore.

PAX is smart and is programmed to display different signals via the LED to let you know what it's doing. When PAX's battery is discharged and needs to be recharged, the LED will blink red three times and power down.

If you are seeing a series of blinking lights other than an discharged-battery indication, followed by the device powering down, please send the PAX Pros a Support Request for further troubleshooting. Include details such as the number and color of blinks, which will be helpful in finding a quick solution for you!

Think of the LED on PAX as its health meter. If your PAX LED is blinking green when placed on the charging dock, it may be an indication that some moisture is trapped in the internal components of your PAX. Sometimes a bit too much isopropyl alcohol or mouthpiece lubricant used during cleaning can cause this, so we always advise that a little goes a long way!

Try this common trick for electronic devices when exposed to moisture: put your PAX in a sealed container of dry white rice for at least 24 hours to absorb any moisture trapped inside PAX. Leave the oven lid and mouthpiece on the device. The rice serves as a natural desiccant and should draw the moisture out.

If this remedy proves unsuccessful, or if your PAX LED is showing any other irregular indications while charging, please send the PAX Pros a Support Request for technical help.

  • First double-check to see that the cable is plugged in properly to the charge platform and outlet.
  • If you have not already, please ensure your device is making a good connection by lightly cleaning the contacts on the device and prongs on the charging base.
  • We recommend using a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean these areas.
  • Wiggle PAX around a bit on the charger to see if it makes a connection, or try placing it on the platform facing the other way.
  • Also, try charging the device after you've removed the mouthpiece.
  • Test another PAX charger if you have one available.

If you continue to have problems charging your PAX, please send the PAX Pros a Support Request.

Your PAX has an on-board accelerometer (motion sensor). If the device sits still for 20 seconds, it goes into standby mode: a lower heat setting around 300F signaled by a pulsing blue LED. This feature saves your battery life and any material in your oven if you walk away.

Pick the device up or move it around and it will heat up to the last temperature setting selected. If PAX sits still for 3 minutes, it will automatically shut off. A bumpy car ride is enough motion to keep the device awake.

PAX is designed to heat up only when the sensor knows the mouthpiece is in the ON position. Sometimes if there is build-up blocking the sensor, it will have a hard time reading that the mouthpiece is removed, the LED will pulse purple to solid green and the oven will heat up.

Try this: When the mouthpiece is removed, always be sure to check that the LED Indicator is displaying your current temperature setting and not purple or green. You can easily reset your PAX by pushing the temperature button. You'll then see your current temperature setting displayed and the oven will begin to cool.

If you notice this after cleaning your PAX, or if there's a lot of moisture or lubricant on the metal stem of your mouthpiece, we suggest attempting to dry out your PAX a little more. Use a pipe cleaner to wipe away the excess moisture on the outside and inside the opening of the metal stem and ensure the vapor path and oven are completely dry.

Did you know?

  • You can charge your PAX with the mouthpiece removed.

If you still have an issue please send the PAX Pros a Support Request including as many details as possible.
