As a longtime Pax user
As a longtime Pax user, I expected much better from PAX. I’ve owned three devices, starting with the Pax 1. I had my Pax 3 for about a year before the LED lights failed. This made it nearly impossible to use. I contacted customer support, and they initially assured me it would be replaced under warranty. But after a couple of responses, they completely ghosted me—no follow-ups, no resolution. It was then that I looked at their reviews on Google. 2.7 stars mostly due to their lack of support, some calling it a complete sham. I would have to agree with that assessment. After continually writing to PAX they eventually got back to me. They put a PAX Plus under warranty in my account to replace the broken now useless PAX 3 ($275 btw). Now here’s the rub, when I try to arrange shipping for the device I get an error message stating that the device is no longer available. So that’s a fail for sure. I contacted PAX and they said they were out of devices; however, I went to the store and for $275 I am able to order one with guaranteed shipping. They urged me to wait a few days, which I have, and try again…same result “device is no longer available and is being removed from your cart.” FAIL. So I bought a Planet of the Vapes Lobo to replace my broken PAX 3. It works, their service has been excellent and ultimately the device is just better. For a premium-priced device, the build quality and customer service are severely lacking with PAX. I was loyal to the brand for years, but this experience has completely soured me. Pax used to set the standard, but now I can’t recommend them to anyone. DO NOT BUY A PAX. Their quality is seriously suspect and their support is a total sham.
