Initial Setup
Step 1 — Charge the Battery
Connect the USB-C cable and charge fully (approximately 1-2 hours). The LED petals will show four full bars when complete.
Step 2 — Open the Oven and Load
Pull the oven lid from the bottom of the device. Use the Half-Pack Lid for smaller loads or the Standard Lid for full sessions.
Step 3 — Prepare Your Herbs
Grind your herbs finely (fine grind) and pack them firmly into the oven. A firm pack is critical for vapor quality. Do not pack so tightly that airflow is blocked, but avoid loose packing.

How to Use
Power On: Press and hold the side button for 2 seconds. The device will vibrate (haptic feedback) to confirm.
Lip Sensing: The PAX Plus has automatic lip-sensing technology. When your lips touch the mouthpiece, the device boosts heat. When removed, it reduces temperature to conserve your herbs.
Drawing Technique: Draw slowly, steadily, and gently. Do not pull hard. Let the heat do the work for the best vapor production.

Cleaning and Maintenance
After every session: Empty the oven while still warm. Use the Multi-Tool to scrape out residue.
Deep clean every 5-10 sessions:
1. Dip a Pipe Cleaner in Isopropyl Alcohol (91%+) and run it through the vapor path
2. Wipe the oven with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab
3. Clean the mouthpiece with an alcohol wipe
4. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling

Expert Tips
- Fine, consistent grind — The finer and more uniform the grind, the better the vapor. Use a quality grinder.
- Firm pack — Pack firmly but not brick-tight. Test by drawing gently; you should feel airflow resistance without blockage.
- Half-Pack Lid — Use for smaller amounts. It delivers denser vapor than a loosely packed full oven.
- Tilt the device slightly while drawing to help distribute heat more evenly across the herbs.
- Charge regularly — Avoid fully draining the battery to extend its long-term lifespan.
