Dabbing is the best. I love it, but it looks super sketchy, and if you are hanging with non-dabbers, you definitely can’t whip out a rig and torch at a fancy dinner party and dab it up.

Enter the Puffco peak…

The Puffco Peak is a classy ‘smart rig’. This unit features a hand-blown glass water filtration mouthpiece and a hand-made glass carb cap. Add a custom mouthpiece and/or carb cap and suddenly you’ll suddenly find yourself with a heady piece that anyone can try a hit from. Even the stuck up host at that company dinner party.

The simplicity of this device is one of its biggest pluses. At first I was worried about the temperature settings. I’m used to DaVinci, Arizer and my rosin press which are constantly giving temperature feedback. I honestly didn’t expect the simplicity of this unit to be a plus, but how simple is this; if the Peak isn’t producing the vapor you want, you just click twice to activate ‘sesh mode’. Every double click activates the atomizer and heats up your dab further, so you just keep double clicking until you get the hit you want. Usually this is just once or twice, but with bigger dabs (especially if you are sharing) sesh mode is an absolute must!

I bought my peak from Canadian Vaporizers for $390 (CAD) and my custom bubble carb cap from Nuzzy Glass for $90 (USD). The included carb cap works fine, but the custom cap is directional, which makes it easier to push the dab around the cup.

I find this unit works best with dabs of about .01-.05 gram dabs. Bigger dabs work, but don’t give bigger clouds. Smaller dabs also have much better flavour.

Flavour is the big plus with this unit. I’m pretty good at cookin up flavourful low-temp dabs in my banger, but the peak hits that flavour sweet spot every single time. The fact that I can teach a complete newb how to do a perfect low temp dab (even one that doesn’t even know how to roll a joint yet) is a huge selling point with this unit. No scorched throats thanks to the water tool, no giant dabs to knock them on the floor and no terrible burnt dab flavour. Just smooth tasty perfect low-temp dabs.

Not a cheap unit in any way (price, appearance or build quality), but a very classy unit that has a very exciting future ahead of it. I’m especially interested in the amazing mouthpiece attachments that are being made now. (See below!)
