Since the launch of the Puffco Peak in 2018, Puffco has been synonymous with dabbing and cannabis culture. Before the invention of the electronic rig, many smokers viewed dabbing as intimidating or simply did not want to use a blow torch to help consume their products.
Since the release of the Peak and subsequent variations, Puffco has been working hard on a new innovation: The Puffco Proxy. The Proxy is a pocket sized vaporizer that aims to revolutionize the way that people consume hash.
The Proxy helps make dabbing more accessible no matter where you are. It allows for dry pipes to now be turned into dab rigs and also allows itself to be used in a bowl piece turning any traditional glass rig into an electronic rig.
What is the Puffco Proxy?
The Proxy is a small, modular vaporized designed to help you create a fully customizable dabbing experience. The base of the Proxy unit is a rubber encased version of the atomizer found in the Puffco Peak Pro. The atomizer is comprised of a ceramic chamber that heats evenly on all sides and a carb cap that provides directional air flow maximizing the surface space the concentrate is exposed to quicker.
What to expect when you buy the Puffco Proxy
When you purchase your Proxy, the device arrives in a case with a glass sherlock pipe that is a timeless design. It provides a simple, familiar way to consume cannabis with a new hash filled twist.
While Puffco will continue to roll out additional accessories for the Proxy, many glass artists and companies including ourselves will be creating innovative designs to house this awesome invention. It is exciting how many possibilities this device opens up for smokers.
How does the Proxy work?
Similar to the Peak and the Peak Pro, the Proxy uses a simple push button interface with four programmed heat settings
