Here’s everything you need to know about getting started with concentrates with the PAX 3 vaporizer…


Key Takeaways:

  • 💸 To vape concentrates, you’ll need a specific PAX accessory (you can get it here), and it comes at a premium price.
  • 🔄 The accessory seamlessly switches the device’s functionality between herbs and concentrates.
  • 🧪 Concentrates provide a potent vaping experience, especially for first-time users.

The PAX 3 is a killer vaporizer. It’s small, compact, and simple to use. And the vapor? It’s very good indeed. 

And it can also do concentrates too, meaning wax and other forms of non-dry herbs. 

Not many people know this, either.

You’ll need to grab one of these inserts to do it – and they ain’t cheap. But the added utility it brings to the table, in my opinion, makes it well worth the price of admission. 

How To Vape Concentrates In PAX 3

As noted above: you’ll need a separate PAX accessory to do this. You can read all about my experiences with the PAX 3 concentrate insert too which should help you decide whether it is for you or not.

This accessory is designed to hold and vaporize concentrates, allowing users to switch seamlessly between dry herbs and more potent extracts.

Using the insert is straightforward, ensuring even beginners can enjoy concentrates without a hitch.

  1. Prepare the Concentrate: Begin by taking a small amount of your chosen concentrate. Remember, concentrates are potent, so a little goes a long way.
  2. Insert into the Pax 3: Open the Pax 3 oven and place the concentrate insert inside. Ensure it sits snugly.
  3. Heat and Enjoy: Turn on the Pax 3 and let it heat. Once ready, take slow, steady draws for the best experience.

How’s The Performance?

In my experience, the PAX 3 is an excellent dabber. Is it as good as dedicated dab rig like the Dr Dabber Switch? No. But for 50 bucks on top of what you already paid of the PAX 3, it is a damn sight cheaper. 

Of course, the quality of your experience will depend on the type of concentrates and/or wax you use. I live in a 420 State, so I got my pick of some of the greatest on the market. 

Once you’ve installed the PAX 3 concentrate insert, you simply add the concentrate and vape as you normally would: switch the device on, let it heat up, and then take a hit – nothing about the PAX 3’s functionality or settings changes. 

The vapor is cool and, with the right brand, extremely potent. Way more so than dry herbs. If this is your first rodeo with concentrates, be prepared: they’re A LOT stronger. 

You can also augment the PAX 3 even further with these handy PAX 3 accessories, adding in things like a water pipe attachment for a cooler, more flavorful vape.
