In practice, I get less accidental coughing fits from huge clouds suddenly hitting my lungs. This helps guarantee a more even dose, and it tends to mean you get “more” out of each, in that you're always inhaling fully. The Era Pro's vapor is smooth, but it requires a gentler pull than other vaporizers I've used. Then again, the pen itself is why I love the Pax so much. I have noticed that some places in Oregon sell the same brands of oil in both types of pods, so you could potentially save money if you discover one you like and switch to the threaded cartridges and a cheaper vaporizer pen. I pay the premium because I like the size, better flavor, and guarantee of quality that comes from using Pax-vetted producers, but your milage may vary. Pax cartridges, at least in Portland, are significantly more expensive than their threaded equivalents for “standard” vape pens. I'd check with your local retailers and with Pax's website to ensure availability before you order an Era Pro. I live in Oregon, and the vast majority of retailers carry Pax pods, but that can vary from state to state. I rarely used this feature, but it's great for new tokers, who can get a bit trigger happy. No matter how hard or soft you pull, the vaporizer delivers a consistent amount, with haptic feedback shaking the pen to let you know you’re done. If you want to make you never accidentally inhale too much, the pressure sensors combine with temperature sensors to dish out a dose size from 1 to 4 (small to fairly large). Everything from the specific temperature to info on the strain is right there. Inside the Android phone app (or web app if you have an iPhone), you can learn quite a bit about what you’re inhaling. Unlike the Era that came before, the newer Pro has two sensors, so it shouldn't accidentally leak weed smell into your pants when it thinks you’re inhaling on an elevator. Unlike other vaporizers, the Era Pro doesn’t have an on button instead it feels when you’re inhaling using a series of extremely accurate pressure sensors. Pretty neat, especially if you like different pods at different temps. Swap out pods and your PAX will adjust to each one's setting. One cool thing about the NFC tech is that it is read- and write-able, which means that when you change the temperature setting for a specific pod, that specific pod remembers. Typically, I found that setting to be between one and two lights. You’ll feel a small button-like sensation, and you'll see the lights on the outside range from one leaf (coolest) to four (hottest), with a fifth stop and blinking light at the manufacturer’s recommended setting. You can adjust the temperature settings of the PAX by slightly pulling in and out on the cartridge, like pumping a bike pump. When you pop a cartridge in, not only does the pen (using an equally small chip reader) check what specific cartridge you have inserted, it also pulls up the manufacturer’s recommended temperature setting for the pod-which often changes from strain to strain. I have been told by executives at PAX that making such simple-looking software requires an insane amount of doing-both legal and otherwise-because each state has varying packaging and testing requirements. Pair the Bluetooth-enabled Era Pro to your Android smartphone, open up the PAX app, and it will even show you the states’ individual test results for that specific lot. Right now, that means all products regulated to each state must remain within state lines.Įach pod contains one of the world’s smallest production NFC chips and is tagged to the exact batch of cannabis it contains. Because marijuana isn't federally legal in the United States, where and what you can buy depends on each state's law. Once the empty pods leave the company’s grasp they belong to an official vape oil manufacturer, which must follow the laws of the state it operates in. This means that while Pax isn’t actually manufacturing its own oil, you have a significantly higher guarantee of quality (and Pax can make more money by controlling aspects of distribution).
