Pax: Ploom's new premium loose-leaf vaporizer

How long would/could a typical smoking session last? (without recharging and/or adding more tobacco)

While there are a number of factors that will affect duration such as grind size, pack density, and heat level, we find that most sessions will last 6-10 minutes before the flavor drops off.

I have to admit that American companies' apparent phobia about sending products outside their domestic markets is starting to get a bit annoying and boring for me. Most UK online shops, especially specialist ones, will send to any country in the world unless there are laws forbidding it.

I have a mail forwarding account with an address in Oregon now set up for when US businesses will not ship to the UK - but unfortunately Ploom will not accept my pre-order because it can't verify my age through that address.

Who's "big brother" is more intrusive now? It would appear to be "the land of the free"!

Hmmmm

PS - I'm only peeved because I desperately want one of these things and I don't want to be put off by promises of distribution to Europe in the near future (which never happens in approximately 100% of these cases)

I love the design, I wonder how it compares to the WISPR, which is awesome and priced the same.

"Land of the free" lol, yah no one still believes that.

Hey Ploom I just wanted to say that the production quality of your website is fantastic! This is such a cool new product, I would love to hear from anyone here who ends up buying one to see how it goes. What is the difference between the Pax and the model one, other than a $200 price difference? Is t just that Pax is smaller and can be used with any loose-leaf tobacco, whereas the model one comes with pre-loaded cartridges?The Pax looks freaking sweet. Also, does this leave the smell of tobacco on you like a cigarette does?

[squeezyjohn]

@Wadetheblade - I love that the WISPR takes gas rather than needing electricity. But in comparison it's an ugly bit of kit to the Pax isn't it?

@sgreger1 - re: land of the free, I know - but it's still the company line which I love the opportunity of dispelling when I can. And I am still cross about the isolationist attitude of the majority of US companies I attempt to deal with online - I guess I am just used to small businesses who want to use the net to widen their consumer base to include me like is the case with most other countries - but I am not surprised given my experience trying to order stuff from the US.

Bottom line is that Ploom have really come up with the goods here, provided the gadget does what it says it can do. It looks to me like a classily designed, smaller than the competition vape that is aimed at the high end market and has the possibility of out-doing e-cigs because it is so good that it doesn't look like a cigarette and could be the one that breaks the "has to look like a cig" convention we have going on here in the UK.

I will say it again - I want one - and that is not knowing if it even works or not. The power of good design and clever advertising is God in this kind of business ... not allowing someone to buy it who you are advertising to when they are champing at the bit is not good practice!

Cheers

Are there any decent personal vaporisers that you can get in the uk? The iolite any good?

Thanks sgreger1! Both of our units are portable vaporizers, but Pax is designed for use with loose-leaf pipe tobacco and is battery-powered, whereas the modelOne is designed for use with our Ploom Pods and runs on butane. Since both units vaporize rather than combust the tobacco, the smell produced is pleasant and reminiscent of cured tobacco, and dissipates quickly.

Ive had really bad experiences with butane vaporizers, they seem to break after a short amount of time. Hopefully yours is of a higher quality, but i've paid >$200 for them before and had bad results. The ploom looks absolutely cool as shit though and I am sure you will have success with that product. Really, really cool product.

Butane power is convenient for the plug-and-play aspects, but due to occasional altitude problems among other issues, we decided to go with lithium ion for the Pax.

Squeezy - if you have any issues ordering one..I am sure many people here would help you out It may cost a little more for postage by having a 'middle-man' to receive and re-ship the package, but I think all of us have been in a situation of wanting something but due to stupid rules & laws not being able to order I can only relate a little to you when I lived in HI years ago and dealing with U.S companies that would only ship to the mainland...just maddening!

just orderd mine from vape world as you dont ship to the uk directly will just get a step down transfomer as looks just what im looking for seeing as the magic flight case dosent hack it for me.

looking forward to getting it.
