Staff Tips and Tricks: Pax by Kelsey!

Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey and I am one of your dedicated Customer Service Representatives here at Vape World! Not many people can say this, but I love my job! My favorite vaporizer is the ultra-cool Pax, so I wanted to share with you some tidbits about this amazing device.

The Pax vaporizer by Ploom has exploded on the market, and its popularity is spreading as quickly as wildfire.. The Pax is super sleek, 100% portable, and fits in the palm of your hand. Personally, I think this crafty device is helping to revolutionize our industry.

Sized to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand!

Handling your questions and inquiries everyday has helped to increase my own personal knowledge about different devices in the industry. Every day at Vape World we handle more questions about Pax than one person could come up with alone. Here’s just a few of our top tips and tricks for this amazing device…

- Pax parts, especially screens, are always in high demand. To help prolong the life of your screens, soak them in 91% isopropyl alcohol for 24-48 hours. Rinse them immediately in HOT water after soaking, and your screens should be good to use again.

- Just like your favorite fine-tuned Italian sports car (my favorite is the Ferrari LaFerrari!) your Pax will need to be cleaned on a regular basis. From our experience, we recommend cleaning your Pax after every dozen uses or so to keep it in top performance. Remember, a clean Pax is a happy Pax!

- You can use the original box from the manufacturer as a convenient vape case. There’s plenty of room for your Pax, charger, cleaning kit, and even a small Aerospaced Grinder.

- To get the best vapor out of your Pax, I recommend that your blends are dried and that they are ground very finely. I recommend filling your vape basket very full and very tight.

- Wrapping a rubber band around your Pax will keep it from slipping and sliding out of your hand or around your counter top.

Green means go!

- Pax is smart and will let you know when it needs attention. If your mouthpiece action seems to be a bit sticky, or if your Pax LED indicator is displaying the temperature setting when your mouthpiece is in the “on” position, don’t fret! Ploom now includes with every new unit the same food-safe, water soluble lubricant used in the manufacturing process, and additional lubricant is also available for purchase. This lubricant breaks up any build-up, enhances the detection sensor for the mouthpiece and will keep your Pax working smoothly. Applying lubricant takes only a matter of seconds and can be applied in between your regular Pax cleanings. Keep in mind, a little goes a long way!

My 10 Favorite Places to Vape by Sheera!

Hello! My name is Sheera and I have one awesome job. As a Service Representative at Vape World, I get to assist people with products that I truly believe in.

Here at Vape World I have the pleasure of speaking with some of the coolest people around. I also get to test, use and recommend various vaporizers that have really changed the game!

The portable vaporizing movement has opened up a world of possibilities for us movers and shakers. What used to be hidden behind closed doors is now something that can be done almost anywhere. Here is a list of my top ten favorite places to vaporize. Feel free to comment and let us know about your stellar spots to vape.

Pax making an appearance on the intracoastal!

1. Bikini, sunscreen and don’t forget the….portable!

The beach is my favorite place to use my portable vape. Who doesn’t enjoy soaking up the sun and freeing your mind? After all, laying out and baking is not just for your skin!

2. Thank you for not smoking!

Have you ever gone to see a movie and halfway through the intro previews you’re no longer on that desired level? It is one of the biggest let downs of all time. That is precisely why I love my portable unit for vaping at the movies. No more buzz kill before the movie has even begun!

3. Take in the greenery – at your local park!

As a person who thoroughly enjoys the outdoors, I find taking my portable vape with me to the park allows me to escape the grind of the everyday city. Having grown up outside of Manhattan, there is nothing better than sitting on a park bench, vaping and taking in the scenery. Even if you only have a few minutes to escape, try it next time you’re near an outdoor recreation area.

Relaxing at the dog park!

4. Outlawed at the in-laws

I could not decide if this should have been number one on my list. I mean c’mon, it’s a no-brainer. My in-laws always made it very clear that their house was a smoke-free zone. With my portables in tow, that is no longer a topic of conversation. Now I bring two portable vaporizers with me when visiting my in-laws. It really helps to lighten the experience!

Solo on the go!

5. Stuck in traffic doesn’t have to suck!

There is nothing that calms me down more than taking out my portable while I sit on the highway in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Aside from wishful thinking of teleportation, I always find myself extremely stressed in those situations. I especially love to use Peppermint and Green Tea on the road, as they provide a tasty and calming pick-me-up

6. Shop till you drop, or your battery runs out!

As an avid shopper, who may be bordering addiction, fusing my two favorite things together makes for an awesome outing. My fiancé hates visiting the mall and always used to complain about how long I took in each store. Now I simply grab a portable unit on my way to the mall and there is nothing but pure happiness from all parties involved!

Volcano on the nightstand!

7. Goodnight moon…

Remember when your parents would read to you before bed? Yeah… I don’t remember that either. But like a good book before bed, my portable vaporizer tucks me in and leaves me with a warm fuzzy feeling before I drift off to sleep. Goodnight stars, goodnight air… good night portable vape that I take everywhere.

8. Disney World: It’s not just for kids!

Theme parks are awesome. Rides, games, fun! Taking my portable with me just enhances the experience and keeps an even bigger smile glued on my face! I suggest sticking to the roller coasters… who doesn’t love to be lifted? Just be careful when riding the spinning teacups, this may induce serious buzz kill!

9. Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn.

Hotels are fun! Jumping on freshly made beds, not cleaning up, ordering room service, the possibilities are endless! But I always found myself in a dilemma – Do I get a smoking room, which is inevitably going to smell like cigarettes, or do I take a risk of burning one in a smoke-free suite? That burning question is no longer a worry! My portable vape can be used in a smoke-free room and I do not have to worry about paying an extra fine!

Sssshhhhhhh!

10. Bar buzz kill… or wait!

As someone who does not really enjoy alcohol, I love that I can join my friends at a local bar and use my portable vaporizer. It makes me feel included and also makes me look like a rock star. Whip out a vape to impress the ladies or gents. I guarantee you will get some numbers!

This is a short list of my favorite places to vaporize. And remember, whoever said you have to keep your habits hidden behind closed doors has never owned a portable vaporizer! What places can you add to this list? Leave your suggestions in a comment below… the most creative idea gets a free Vape World goodie bag!

We just extended our service hours to 7 days a week, 9am – Midnight EST to better serve you. Please let me know if we can be of any assistance to you. Shoot us an email or phone calll (877.865.2260). We would love to chat!

Staff Tips and Tricks: Arizer Solo by Laurie!

Hi! My name is Laurie and I can honestly say I have one of the best jobs in the world! Being a Customer Service Rep for Vape World I have the privilege of talking with all of you about the vaporization movement!

Fits great in the palm of your hand!

Thinking about purchasing an Arizer Solo? If you already have, you have made an excellent choice! Below, I will help you get to know your new (or hopefully soon-to-be-new) device by giving you some tips and tricks that I have learned over my time here at Vape World.

Before you use your Solo for the first time you will notice the mouthpiece is a bit difficult to fit inside the heating crevasse, but don’t worry, it is suppose to be this way. My suggestion is to first heat your device up to temperature 7; it will take a couple minutes to reach its maximum temperature. By holing the mouthpiece at its base, press the stem into the heating crevasse as it sits on a sturdy surface. You might need to use some force while also wiggling it until it finally pops in. Don’t worry, the glass mouthpieces are strong and will not break. The reason why it is so tough to insert the mouthpiece into the unit for the first time is because Arizer has equipped the Solo with a rubber O-Ring to firmly keep the mouthpiece inside your Solo while in use. Therefore it needs to be “broken-in” the first time you use it.

Inserting Mouthpiece into Solo

Once you have your Solo ready to use for the fist time, make sure to completely drain the whole battery until it’s completely dead. Re-charge the battery to full capacity after you have drained the battery. The Solo runs off a lithium-ion battery and this is standard procedure for these type of batteries in order to maximize their life.

When filling up the mouthpiece chamber make sure you grind your plant material. Since the Solo does not utilize a mesh screen (finally!), make sure to not grind your blends too finely. If your material is too fine, there is a chance it will be pulled through as you’re taking your draws. On the plus side, no mesh screens means maintenance is a breeze!

Glass screen.. No mesh!!

To take a draw from your Arizer Solo, make sure to take a slow steady draw. You might notice that taking a draw this way will produce much more vapor than taking a fast one. The rate of your draw will determine the ‘thickness’ of your vapor.

Once you are ready to empty out your chamber, hold the mouthpiece up-side down to pull it out of the base unit gently. This way your blends will stay tucked in minimizing spillage.

I really love my Solo and think it’s such an amazing portable vape! Not only does it produce flavorful, high-quality vapor, it can also tag along with you while you’re on the go! Going on a vacation? Take your Solo with you! The Solo can be stored in a VapeCase to be traveled with ease.

Your Solo does not require much maintenance unlike so many other portable vaporizers out today. So rest easy, you can mark off cleaning your vaporizer off your to-do list after reading these quick how-to clean tips! The glass mouthpiece is obviously the piece that requires a higher maintenance than the actual unit. The easiest way to clean the glass mouthpiece is to leave it overnight in isopropyl alcohol. After soaking it, make sure to wash it off with hot water. The chamber inside the unit may be cleaned with a damp Q-tip or paper towel with isopropyl alcohol and wipe thoroughly. Easy as that!

I hope I was able to provide some insights on this fantastic device. The Solo is an office favorite and hopefully it will become one of your favorites too!

Will Get Tattoed For A Free Vape!

As soon as my friends find out I work at Vape World the first thing (after high-fiving me of course) they always ask is: “Yo! Can you hook it up with a free Vape?!”

I always joke and say: “Yeah, for sure, but you have to get a Vape World tattoo first!” We’ll have a good laugh and then continue on with our shenanigans.

One day I ran into my buddy at the bar and we get into conversation. On cue, he asks the golden question: “…. Come on bro, you must have one just laying around that you can spare!” I chuckle and give him my canned response that I’ve learned to repeat like a broken record.

Not even giving it a second thought, he says: “Sure, I’m down. But don’t tell my girlfriend – she’ll kill me.” Thinking he’s joking I play it off like it was the booze talking. But he wasn’t. It just so happened there was a tattoo shop right next to the bar (go figure).

What follows is the step-by-step process on how to get a free vaporizer from your friends at Vape World.

: Pre-Gaming With His Future Buddy

: Nameless Tattoo Shop, Deerfield Beach, FL

: Isn’t That A Sexy Logo? My Buddy Seems To Think So!

: “Left?…Right?… Both?

: “No Mom, This Is A Great Idea. Have You Seen It In Silver?!”

: No Going Back Now!

: Fits Right In!

: Looking Good!

: Nothing Like Fresh Ink In The Evening

: Victory Is Mine!

Please, do not try this at home!

But, if you happened to find yourself at your local Tattoo shop with a freshly inked Vape World Tattoo, send us over some evidence and we’ll send you a portable vape of your choice!

Happy Vaping

Top Ten Halloween Safety Tips for Fellow Vaporizer Users

Make sure that if you are going to be enjoying your vaporizer at home on Halloween, the candy bowl for Trick-or-Treaters is outside.
Before you put the candy bowl for Trick-or-Treaters outside, be sure to take out as much candy as you anticipate needing for personal consumption throughout the night.
Whatever amount you decided in tip #2, double it.
Use the buddy system! Halloween can be a very dangerous night for the vape-enhanced mind; no one wants to find you cowering in the bushes because the monster who used to grab at your ankles from underneath your bed when you were a kid just rang your doorbell looking for Whoppers.
Gentlemen- If you are planning to go out for Halloween, keep this in mind: Women typically spend between 1-3 hours “enhancing” their natural appearance for a night on the town. For Halloween, these same women have spent 3 or more weeks preparing their much more technically advanced and effective techniques of deception- this is no time for blurred vision or otherwise impaired decision making. Use plenty of visine, and be on high alert for potential coyote ugly situations. Buddy system may also come in handy here.

Pax By Ploom Vaporizer Review

Pax by Ploom is the newest portable vaporizer I’ve had the privilege of using. This slick ipod nano-sized vape is much smaller than my current go-to portable unit, the Arizer Solo. It’s also more convenient, thanks to its elimination of external parts that have made quality portables cumbersome in the past. Everything you need to make the magic happen is enclosed in the uni-body design from mouthpiece, to temperature selection, and even the auto-off function. Without the fragile glass mouthpieces my Solo uses, Pax comes off as a much better long distance travel vape than the Solo, and is less likely to eat up cash down the line on replacement parts. Operating Pax is very simple. The heating chamber’s design is unique; the user places their aromatherapy blends in the bottom of the unit instead of the top, which most other portable vapes require. This keeps the vapor cooler, since the activation site is not in close proximity to the mouthpiece.
