I have a pax3 that is starting to show it’s age. The battery is not holding it’s charge that well and I’m sure the tech has improved a lot over the years. I was looking at a crafty or mighty+ but wanted to see if there was something else comparable for a little cheaper. I would like to keep it under 300, but can spend some more if it’s worth it.

    Unconventional but I highly recommend the combo of dynavap + ispire wand. Should be under your price and:

    • dynavaps are basically indestructible and easy to clean, heated by any source, like a lighter
    • the ispire wand is an induction heater, which is better than normal thermal, and it has standard replaceable (and USB chargeable) batteries. So you in theory never need to buy a new device

      I forgot to mention I already have a dynavap M with a fmj. I think I need a new cap for it since it seems like it is clicking a little before it’s ready. Ive been using a triple flame torch lighter but the ispire wand has always interested me.

      My wife really doesn’t like it, so that’s why I was looking for a replacement to the pax we share.

        Yeah the caps wear out after a few years but the ispire makes the whole thing way easier, since you can set it to a temp and not overheat. I find that I can learn how many extra seconds I need if it’s early

            I never needed the fmj to begin with (just rotate the tip), but I guess that’s right
