What Is PAX and Why Is the PAX 3 the Only Vaporizer ProCannabis Carries?

PAX Labs has been making portable dry herb vaporizers since 2007 — the original PAX was the first device that made vaporizing as discreet and simple as using a lighter. The brand is headquartered in San Francisco and has sold millions of devices globally. The PAX 3 is the current flagship portable vaporizer in the consumer lineup, positioned as the dual-use option for buyers who want one device handling both dry herb and concentrates at premium quality.

ProCannabis carries the PAX 3 alongside authentic PAX replacement accessories rather than building out a full vaporizer category, because the PAX 3 sits at the intersection of what ProCannabis's core buyer needs: a device purpose-built for THCA flower and cannabis concentrates, backed by the longest warranty in the portable vaporizer category at 10 years. For buyers investing in a dry herb or concentrate device that will last, the PAX 3 is the only recommendation ProCannabis can make with that level of manufacturer support behind it.

How Does the PAX 3 Work — Conduction Heating, Four Temperature Presets and the PAX App

The PAX 3 uses conduction heating — the device's oven walls heat directly to transfer heat into the dry herb or concentrate material. This differs from convection vaporizers, which heat air that then passes through the material. Conduction heats up faster (15-20 seconds on the PAX 3) and produces dense, flavourful vapour, but requires the oven to be packed to appropriate density for even heating across the material.

Four temperature presets are accessible via the device's single button, with each preset producing a different vapour character — lower temperatures preserve more terpene flavour with lighter vapour density, higher temperatures produce denser vapour with more cannabinoid extraction per draw. The PAX mobile app extends this: Bluetooth connectivity unlocks precise degree-level temperature control beyond the four presets, custom session modes (boost, efficiency, stealth and flavor), haptic notification settings and game features tied to the device's LED display. The app is available for iOS and Android at no additional cost. Haptic feedback on the device signals when the oven reaches target temperature — no guessing when the session is ready.

PAX 3 Basic Kit vs Complete Kit — Which One Should You Buy?

The PAX 3 comes in two purchase configurations that make a meaningful difference to what you can do with the device on day one.

Basic Kit: The PAX 3 device, charging cable, one flat mouthpiece and one oven lid. Set up for dry herb only — pack the oven with up to 0.35g of ground dry herb and vape. This is the right option for buyers who exclusively use THCA flower or dry herb and have no interest in concentrates. The Basic Kit does everything the Complete Kit does for dry herb — the only limitation is concentrate use.

Complete Kit: Everything in the Basic Kit plus the concentrate insert, a second flat mouthpiece and a cleaning kit. The concentrate insert reduces the oven chamber size to hold a smaller amount of wax or extract directly, changing the PAX 3 from a dry herb device into a portable concentrate vaporizer in the same hardware. For buyers who use both THCA flower and concentrates or dabs, the Complete Kit makes the PAX 3 genuinely dual-use from the day it arrives rather than requiring a separate accessory purchase. The concentrate insert is also sold separately through PAX directly at pax.com if you start with the Basic Kit and decide to add concentrate capability later.

How Does the PAX 3 Compare to a 510-Thread Cart Battery for THCA Vaping?

The PAX 3 and a 510-thread cart battery are both vaping devices for cannabis — but they are built for completely different consumption formats and the choice between them is not about quality, it is about what you are putting into them.

A 510-thread battery is designed exclusively for pre-filled cartridges — cartridges containing THCA distillate, live resin or Liquid Diamond concentrate in a sealed hardware unit. You cannot load dry herb into a 510 battery. You buy cartridges pre-filled from a brand, attach to the battery, vape until empty and replace. The experience is determined by the cartridge manufacturer. For THCA cartridge options at ProCannabis, browse 510 batteries and vape hardware at ProCannabis alongside every cartridge format available.

The PAX 3 is designed for loose dry herb and concentrates you load yourself. You control the material — the strain, the cut, the freshness, the grind. The PAX 3 vaporizes THCA flower in its natural state rather than a processed extract, producing a different flavour and session character from a pre-filled cart. Buyers who prefer the flower experience and want precise temperature control over a consistent pre-filled hit choose PAX. Buyers who want portability, disposability and brand-controlled consistency choose carts. Both are valid — they are different products for different consumption philosophies.

What PAX Accessories Does ProCannabis Carry and What Does Each One Do?

ProCannabis carries authentic PAX replacement accessories sourced directly from PAX Labs — three variants sold individually, all compatible with PAX 2, PAX 3, PAX Mini and PAX Plus devices.

Oven Lid: The magnetic lid that seals the dry herb oven during a session. Proper oven seal is essential for even heat distribution across the material — a worn or damaged oven lid produces uneven heating, reduced vapour density and air leak during draws. The Oven Lid is one of the first components to show wear on heavily used PAX devices. Replacing it is the single most effective maintenance action for restoring session quality on an older PAX device.

Raised Mouthpiece: An elevated mouthpiece that extends above the device body compared to the flush default flat mouthpiece. The raised profile creates more distance between the oven heat and the mouth contact point, which PAX states produces a cooler and smoother draw. Preference between flat and raised is largely personal — the flat mouthpiece is more discreet and pocket-friendly, the raised produces a more comfortable extended session draw for buyers who notice heat through the flat profile.

Oven Screens: Stainless steel screens that sit in the base of the PAX oven, preventing ground herb debris from entering the vapour path and clogging the airflow channel. Regular screen replacement is the core maintenance action that keeps PAX vapour quality consistent over time. PAX recommends replacing screens alongside regular cleaning — typically every five to ten sessions for heavy users.

All three accessories are available at ProCannabis at pax.com pricing. Compatible across the full current PAX device range — one accessory purchase serves multiple PAX devices.
