Mouthpiece Gets Tacky and Requires Frequent Cleaning

The PAX 3 mouthpiece gets tacky real fast and requires frequent cleaning. The solution requires the user to charge the PAX 3 standing up. The charging proves straightforward but flawed because of how the device sits; PAX spends time with gravity working against it that pulls the resin down towards the mouthpiece. The heat of charging causes the debris to heat and melt in the mouthpiece. Standing PAX 3 up and attaching the charger like a hat wouldn’t allow the waste to stay and melt in the mouthpiece, making it sticky real quick.

On many occasions, the mouthpiece of PAX 3 doesn’t make good electric contact. The device goes into heating mode and warms up; the other times; the solid red fails to warm up. Sometimes, the mouthpiece doesn’t work well because your device is not clean. This problem is to push the mouthpiece towards the stem until your PAX 3 is hot and ready to use. Another thing you should do is remove the mouthpiece and blow the warm air through it that helps the mouthpiece make better contact with the temperature sensor, or you could use a little paper shim in the mouthpiece to force it on one side, allowing it to make electric contact.
