VAPORIZER DESIGN

Sleek looks and many function improvements

The Peak Pro is the most consistent way to do dabs, you’ll get the same experience every single time you use it, removing any guesswork. The upgraded bowl is 40% larger and built with a higher quality ceramic to last longer and handle even the hottest hits. It’s embedded with a sensor that maintains the optimal temperature throughout each hit, so it doesn’t matter how much or little you inhale, the resulting vapour is always the same. Compared with the previous Peak model, this feature has been completely modified to be more reliable and robust while increasing the overall performance.

On top of the improved bowl, you’ll discover a new integrated carb cap equipped with directional airflow resulting in better flavour and draw when taking a hit. The body of the device features a significantly larger glass reservoir to hold more water and apply better cooling than the previous model. Far from being an eyesore, the sleek design of this vape sits just under 18cm tall and is so slick you’ll want to proudly display it on your counter where it’s also handy to grab and start vaping almost instantly.

The improvements aren’t just on the device, the app for the Peak Pro is incredible, giving you a bunch of customisation options that let you tailor your experience to your liking. Finally, the Peak Pro includes the most functional case we’ve ever seen, the Pro fits nice and snug inside, as well as any extra tools you need for your session. It makes it the perfect grab bag to take with you anywhere.

ATOMIZER DESIGN

The new atomizer seems a lot beefier

The atomizer has been completely redesigned, and it’s now a closed system. This means you can no longer disassemble the atomizer to repair it, to change the bowl, or take the ceramic bowl out to torch it clean. This isn’t great news for anybody who has spent money on inserts or wants to upgrade/repair their coil, but personally, my main concern is not being able to torch the bowl clean.

The atomizer has a different kind of connection and it seems a lot beefier overall. The ceramic bowl is 40% bigger, so if you like to do big dabs this is perfect for you, just don’t overload it or it’s going to run down into your atomizer. The atomizer now has three sensors built-in that continually monitor the temperature of your bowl, and do their best to maintain your set temperature regardless of how hard you inhale.

BATTERY LIFE & HEAT-UP TIME

A much-improved battery system and 30 seconds to heat up

The Peak Pro has a much-improved battery system, USB-C charging means it charges the battery much faster, and it also features wireless charging. It has worked with every wireless charger I have tried so far, and Puffco also sell the Peak Power Dock which has some unique features, but it adds $120 to the $400 price of the Peak Pro.

I was initially very happy when I read that the Peak Pro has an auto sleep function, but this one still will not automatically turn itself off. I cannot fathom why Puffco would not make it automatically turn itself off after an extended period of time, like 24 hours for example. I know they want it to be able to connect to the app, so Bluetooth has to be on, but if you don’t turn it off you’re going to come back to a dead battery after a while, which is ludicrous to me.

Puffco say you’ll get an average of 30 dabs per full battery charge, I got 24 dabs during my testing, but I did not turn the device off in between hits. The heat-up time is about 30 seconds and there’s a cool light show while it’s heating up, with a nice strong vibration to let you know when it’s ready for you to hit it.

VAPOUR QUALITY

Tastes good, but it hasn't blown my mind

The consistency of the experience and the vapour quality of the Peak Pro are both very nice. The increased water capacity of the bubbler really makes a difference to how smooth the vapour is. If you turn the temperature up or extend the session time, you can get some huge rips from it. I prefer smaller dabs that are on the cooler side, and it is just as effective when used in that manner.

The taste is good, but it hasn't blown my mind. I don’t generally dab out of ceramic a lot anymore, I prefer quartz, but with this new atomizer you are locked into a ceramic bowl since you can’t change out the insert. I don’t think it’s noticeably inferior to my Mini-Nail, but if you’re not a fan of ceramic, you may want to have a look at the original model, as you can put in whatever type of insert you prefer.

HOW TO USE THE PUFFCO PEAK PRO

It's straightforward to operate

The Puffco Peak Pro is a straightforward electronic dab rig to operate. First remove the glass bowl from the base and fill it with water, adding just enough to cover the inlet holes. Dry any excess water underneath before reattaching to the base, aligning the air hole on the front of the glass with the air path on the base. Attach the glass to the base by pushing the front in first before pushing the back down.

Hold down the main button for three seconds to turn the vaporizer on. There are four levels of temperature for the Puffco Peak, blue being the coolest temperature, followed by yellow, red, and then white as the temperature increases. You can switch through these with a single click of the main button. They do come pre-set, but you can customise both the temperature and colour of each of the four temperature settings using the Bluetooth app. To pair your Puffco Peak Pro with your phone, have the app open and press and hold the power button. It will turn on and off before glowing blue, then you can select your device from the “available devices” on the app. The LED light display can also be tailored in “Lantern Mode” to shuffle through the four different modes: pulse, wave, disco, stealth.

Pack your device when it’s cool, making sure not to over-pack it or oil could spill out of the atomizer. Double click the power button to start the heat cycle. It heats up in as little as 30 seconds and will let you know it’s ready with a triple flash/vibration alert. It’s best to inhale gently for maximum vapour production. A quick double click will boost the heat and add 15 seconds to your session, but the beauty of the Peak Pro is the length of the boost feature is completely customizable too. To lock your device and save battery life when not in use simply hold down the button until the light flashes.

HOW TO CLEAN THE PUFFCO PEAK PRO

It's a good idea to clean the bowl with a q tip after each session

You should aim to clean your Puffco Peak Pro regularly to ensure proper performance and maintain an optimal experience. After every session it’s a good idea to give the bowl a quick clean out with a q tip and a splash of isopropyl alcohol, since you’re using concentrates. This will keep it clean and ensure the device functions well for many years to come.

You’ll want to keep the glass clean for the best performance but there’s no need to overdo it. I only clean the glass on my Puffco Peak Pro when it’s noticeably dirty and there’s a build up of resin or particulate matter. To clean your Puffco Peak Pro glass, first remove it from the base and empty all the water out. Put some isopropyl alcohol in a freezer bag, add a good shake of rock salt, then drop in your glass. Gently grip the glass from the outside of the bag and give it a good shake, guiding the iso/salt mix in and around the glass. The rock salt is a gentle abrasive which will mechanically remove resin without scratching the glass, and the iso will dissolve all that residue build-up. As soon as it’s clean, stop shaking, give the glass a thorough rinse under a tap and stand it on a paper towel to dry. Check out my video on how to clean your water tools for extra visuals.

Strengths

The Peak Pro is incredibly easy to use and very consistent. Beginners will have no problems with this device, which you can’t always say for concentrate vaporizers. It’s easy to clean, the addition of built-in wireless charging is super handy, but even with the simplicity you are getting very high-quality hits

Puffco did an amazing job with the app, especially considering that for iPhone users it’s not actually an app but a web app. I have actually come back and used it after my initial set-up, I like to alter the light colours of my most used settings to change up my experience. 

The design of the Peak Pro is absolutely gorgeous, it looks like one of the most futuristic products I’ve ever owned. When this device is on a desktop with the lights on and some water in it, it adds visual beauty and interest. Puffco charges a high price for this product, but when you look at it and handle it you can tell it’s worth the price, 10/10 for the design.

Weaknesses

The Puffco Peak Pro is $400 US, and the wireless charging dock is another $120, it’s a premium product with the price tag to match. 

The fact that it doesn’t include an auto shut-off boggles my mind, I’ve had a number of occasions where I got my Peak to use it and it was dead, because I didn’t turn it off last time I used it.

I don’t like the fact that they switched to a closed atomizer system. Even if you don’t want to use a quartz or a high-end insert, it’s nice to be able to take the bowl out to torch it clean. My atomizer is wearing quite well, but I can’t think of any benefit I’m getting by not being able to remove it.

FINAL THOUGHTS

A worthy successor to the original model

The Puffco Peak Pro is a worthy successor to the original model, although it looks similar at first glance, virtually every aspect has been upgraded. It offers a super easy to use experience, but also a high level of customization when using the app. I would like to see them release another version of the atomizer that allows you to remove the ceramic bowl though, and I seriously want to see an option in the software that allows me to enable an auto shut-off function. If you’re an avid concentrate user and haven’t picked up a Peak Pro yet, you are doing yourself a disservice. Take the opportunity to grab the best concentrate device on the market and invest in a Puffco Peak Pro today.
