Interesting. I definitely like the idea of a used one, particularly since the cheaper "Junior" is now unavailable, and the new Pacojet 4 is absurdly expensive even by Pacojet standards.

 

I find with the stuff I'm making, which is largely blends of fruit, almond milk, and erythritol, the re-spin setting doesn't adequately break up the icy edge pieces if I push them off with a knife, so it negatively impacts the texture of the whole tub. On the other hand, it's absolutely brilliant with regular ice cream bases, and the mix-in setting is very popular with my nephew.

I picked mine up used from a chocolate shop in Toronto that had been making ice creams but it just wasn't practical for them. You should make a mix, put it in a fat deli container and bring it down to me frozen and we can run it through the Pacojet and see if one spin does it with your mix. When I travel with frozen stuff I put in inside a Donvier ice cream maker canister - keeps it solidly frozen for pretty much days.
