Pax: Ploom's new premium loose-leaf vaporizer

[squeezyjohn]

Hi MaNiAc - the bit where it states "Pax is only available to be shipped to US or Canada addresses at this time." didn't put you off then? I don't think I'm going to order a $250 product with that kind of disclaimer in place.

And thanks for the kind offer desirexe - I'm sorry I didn't see it last time I checked this thread. I may be looking down that route soon if nothing is forthcoming through the official channels. But I would like to see a less isolationist approach from Ploom if I am going to be one of their users otherwise I will have a technological product with next to no support in case it goes wrong! And I'm not stupid.

Their replies here have shown me that despite being a small, innovative, independent company - Ploom's desire to be seen as a bigger faceless corporate entity is so real that they even start up their business with the kind of answers and customer service you only normally get from Apple or dare I say it, Northerner in the last year or so.

I find that very sad ... companies destined for great things can only really bring that amazing personal touch early on in their existence - but that is what generally makes their product go viral because they have very dedicated, enthusiastic .. even evangelical first adopters to spread the buzz. I can't see Ploom doing anything to help that happen here. And I truly believe that they have the product to go viral with the Pax.

Get an Iolite Original 2 Squeezy.

I would, Ansel, but it looks like Darth Vader on a snorkelling holiday.

Hmm, sounds like you mean. It may do but it's build like a brick isht house.

I want one NOW , but i am also in the UK . Hows the distribution expansion coming along ? Can i hope to get one of these in time for christmas ?

I managed to get hold of a Pax (from the US), afaik it's not available yet in Europe. The US plug is 110v so I had to use a converter to charge it. Gotta say that this is an awesome vape, so much better than most other vaporizers ive recently tried. I'm not a iolite fan at all, and had very bad exerpience with their products being of low quality and breaking down several times (mostly the ignition switch). I also prefer batteries over butane, but that's personal.

I wrote a review on the Pax, if anyone's interested you can read it here: http://vaporizer-info.com/en/reviews...porizer-review

Any questions, feel free to ask me, as it seems Ploom hasn't really been active here as of late

[squeezyjohn]

Hey mr. Ploom!

Any news on european distribution of the Pax yet?

[squeezyjohn]

So Markv - how did you manage to get one from the USA?

Was it through manipulating an online order, a friend visiting over there ... or a free industry sample?

Cheers

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)



Hi Squeezy. We apologize for the difficulty. If you could fill out the form on this page, we will be happy to get the ball rolling on your order. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi! same situation, i live in italy and i really want one pax asap...can you please help me? i can also use an US address (paying some services) but my payment to ploom will arrive from a credit card (or paypal account) based in italy...can we fix this with the age form?

[squeezyjohn]

Well I thought I'd bagged myself one of these here in the UK from eBay (to avoid import duty palaver etc.) - but the person I bought it from refunded me the money with the message that their mum's house had burnt down the night before along with all the contents including the pax!

Turns out the person was a world-famous supermodel who'd come home to the family in the UK from LA and the house really did burn down - it was in the news and everything.

That was an odd eBay experience!

Maybe fate is trying to tell me I don't need one of these.

lol

i love my Iolite.

How well does the Ploom device work with loose cannabis flowers?

I'm currently using the eGo-W (also known as the G-Pen) for essential oils and wax, but a portable vaporiser that can process flowers efficiently is something I'm definitely in the market for.

The makers of G-Pen are supposedly making a tank for flowers, but there's no release date in sight.

I don't know!
