Puffco: Smart Rigs & Concentrate Vaporizers in Canada
Puffco replaced the butane torch with intelligent, real-time temperature control to unlock the true flavor of your concentrates. The lineup is built around two main styles, depending on where you plan to session. The Puffco Peak uses a hand-blown borosilicate glass attachment for water filtration, giving you that smooth, desktop-rig feel. Then you have the Puffco Proxy. It uses a modular 3D Chamber that sits in a dry "Sherlock" pipe, but the best part is you can pop it out and swap it into other glass rigs for maximum flexibility. For pockets on the go, the Puffco Plus offers a coil-less ceramic experience in a discreet pen shape. Buying these electronics from a Canadian authorized reseller is the only way to make sure your manufacturer warranty is valid. It also means your order ships from a local warehouse, so there are no import duties or border delays. All Puffco hardware ships free within Canada on orders over $49.

Puffco Hardware Guide: Peak, Proxy & Plus
Puffco ditched the torch and changed the game with intelligent, real-time temperature control. As an authorized Canadian retailer, Smoke & Vape is here to help you figure out which setup actually fits your routine. We are looking at three very different tools: the desktop powerhouse (Peak), the modular pipe (Proxy), and the pocket pen (Plus). Here is the breakdown.
1. Quick Comparison: Which Device Fits You?
All three devices use high-quality ceramic bowls to heat your product evenly, but the airflow and portability are totally different. Use this chart to compare the basics.
| Feature | Peak Series | Proxy Series | Plus Series | Staff Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling Method | Water Filtration (Bubbler) | Dry Pipe (Modular) | Direct Draw (Mouthpiece) | Water filtration = smoothest hits. |
| Chamber Style | Deep Ceramic Bowl | 3D Chamber (Side Heating) | Coil-less Ceramic | 3D Chambers heat from the sides to save flavor. |
| Best Use Case | Home / Desktop | Travel / Flexible | Pocket / Discreet | Proxy inserts fit into other glass rigs too. |

2. Peak vs. Proxy: Water Filtration vs. Modular Design
It really comes down to this: do you want water filtration or portability? The Puffco Peak uses a hand-blown glass attachment that holds water. This cools the vapor down a lot, allowing for larger, comfortable draws. Think of it as a "desktop" unit.
The Puffco Proxy is completely different. It's modular. It comes with a dry glass pipe (Sherlock style) for flavor-focused sipping. But the cool part is the actual Proxy unit pops out of the glass, so you can drop it into other compatible glass rigs or adaptors. Choose the Peak for performance at home, and the Proxy for flexibility on the go.
3. Repairability & Key Parts
These devices are investments. Luckily, the parts that wear out are easy to swap.
- The Chamber: The Peak Pro Chamber is the engine. If your flavor starts to dull or heating takes longer, a new chamber brings the device back to like-new performance.
- The Glass: Accidents happen. If you break the top of your rig, you don't need a whole new device. You just need a replacement Glass Attachment.
- The Battery: For heavy users, the Power Dock keeps your Peak Pro charged (and enables "Ready Mode").
4. Maintenance: Keeping It Clean
Since Puffco devices use high-tech sensors to control heat, keeping them clean is mandatory if you want them to work right.
- Swab after every use: Use a cotton swab to wipe out the ceramic bowl while it is still warm. This stops residue from burning onto the ceramic.
- Do not scrape: Never use metal tools to scrape the bowl. The ceramic is polished and delicate; scratching it will ruin the flavor and heating accuracy.
- Deep Clean with ISO: Soak the Carb Cap and Chamber in 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to dissolve buildup. Make sure the gold connection pins on the base are clean to stop connection errors.
5. Why Buy Puffco from an Authorized Canadian Retailer?
Smoke & Vape is a fully authorized Canadian retailer for Puffco. This matters because Puffco's manufacturer warranty is only valid when you buy from authorized stores. We stock everything locally in Canada, so you avoid border delays, customs fees, and long waits. If you need a new chamber or glass, we have it here, ready to ship.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should I choose the Peak or the Proxy?
This is the most common question we get. If you usually consume at home and want the smoothest, coolest hits possible, go for the Puffco Peak. The water filtration allows for larger vapor production. If you care more about flavor and portability, or want a device that looks like a classic pipe, grab the Puffco Proxy. The Proxy is also modular, meaning you can eventually buy adapters to use it with water rigs you already own.
Do I really need to clean the chamber after every use?
Yes. This is the "Golden Rule" of owning a Puffco. Unlike a glass banger which you can torch clean, the ceramic sensors are delicate. To prevent "chazzing" (permanent dark burnt spots), simply wipe the bowl with a cotton swab immediately after each session while the oil is warm. If you follow this simple step, your chamber can last for months without degrading the flavor.
What is the advantage of the 3D Chamber?
Standard ceramic bowls heat from the bottom plate only. The 3D Chamber (found in the Proxy and available for the Peak Pro) heats from the side walls. This is more efficient because it vaporizes the oil as you inhale and pull it up the sides, rather than boiling it continuously at the bottom. This saves your terpenes (flavor) and makes the battery last way longer.
How does the warranty work in Canada?
Puffco requires a proof of purchase from an authorized retailer for any warranty claims. Since Smoke & Vape is fully authorized, your device is covered. If you experience a defect with the electronic base within the warranty period, you are protected. We recommend registering your device via the Puffco app or website immediately after purchase.
