PAX released a simple app workaround for Apple/iOS users, and we’re here to give you the rundown. This solution works for all PAX products (minus the PAX 2), but we'll only be covering the PAX 3 for this walkthrough.
You'll need an internet connection for this to work, and unfortunately there's no more games, but all the heat, light, and haptic feedback settings are still available. Grab your iDevice and let's jump in.

Download the App
First, open up the App Store and download the Connect Browser app. You can also scan the QR code on the image below. Open it up and grant it access to Bluetooth.
Download and install the “Connect Browser” app.
Pair your PAX 3
Click the url bar up top and go to pax.com. Choose PAX 3 and then enter the serial number located on the back of your vape.
Enter the serial number to pair your PAX 3.
Turn your PAX 3 on and shake it until the petals turn blue. Then, with bluetooth enabled, press “Connect” on the app, choose your PAX, and you’re good to go.
Shake your PAX 3 until it lights up blue, and press connect. Your PAX 3 will heat up immediately, so if you’re not ready for a session, press the lock button on the app to turn off the heater.
Press the lock icon to turn off the heater.
Set an exact temp or choose a heating profile
From the main screen, set your PAX 3 to whatever temperature you choose, down to the exact degree, or choose one of four heating profiles.
Standard - default setting. Temperature boosts when you draw, auto-cools when you don’t.
Boost - aggressively limits auto cooling for longer, stronger sessions.
Efficiency - automatically increases the temp over the length of the session.
Stealth - stays at lower temps, with quicker cooling, so your exhales aren’t as obvious.
Flavor - stays at low temps, but only heats up when you are drawing, for maximum flavor.
Choose from a number of different heating profiles.
Adjust brightness and haptics
Use the settings button to adjust the brightness and haptic feedback, choose one of four light color modes, as well as change the name of your PAX 3.
Press the gear icon to access haptic and light settings.
No more games
While you’re still able to play games on your PAX 3, you can longer choose games with this app workaround. What you see above is all you get. No more games. :(
Conclusion
It’s been well over a year since Apple removed all vaporizer apps from their App store, and for a while, PAX 3 users couldn’t take advantage of what made the PAX 3 unique. This workaround finally gives us a reason to break it out again, with in-depth settings and heating profiles, and a reason to choose this PAX over the PAX 2.
