well, when my girlfriend was here, we went and she got one. Her's was hot too, she said her's is hotter then mine.. I called them and i could have sent it back, but since it is just like the newer one, i won't.
I loaned my gf my solo so i am using the pax a lot more. It is convenient but I really feel the solo is better, especially in taste. I think the pax uses more herb than the solo too. BUT, you can do stuff with the pax you can"t with the solo, I also don't enjoy plastic, but again, it is portable. so can't have it all. That is the long story SM. I am not sorry i got it. I am using as i type, but not the big long draw i am used to.
