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.
Definitely smoother hits. Most of the time I just use it once a day before bed and would rather it be a calming experience instead of something high temp.
Is portability a requirement or do you only plan on using it at home?
Portable would be best or something that was pretty small. Currently we don’t have a lot of space available. Something that could be kept in an end table drawer and easy to set up/ put away
It sounds like you could use just about any modern portable and be satisfied.
I see you mentioned POTV devices in some other replies. Those are generally known to punch above their price point, offering excellent price to performance options. The Lobo is basically a value priced Crafty/Mighty+, with some options that even the name brand doesn’t offer, like swappable batteries. I think you’d be quite happy with one.
If you’d rather go for more “premium” options the Crafty+ would also be a great choice, but some people find S&B heating to cause a tickle in the throat (the “Bickel tickle”) they don’t like. The Firewood and Angus lines are also well regarded and widely used.
