Essential Accessories
- Hot knife: A heated loading tool, such as the Puffco hot knife, can make placing your sticky concentrates into the center of the chamber much easier and more efficient. Avoid scraping concentrate on the sides of the bowl.
- Glob Mopes: After each session, use glob mops to clean any leftover concentrate from the coil. This not only keeps your device clean but also ensures consistent performance and prevents residue buildup that can affect flavor and vapor quality. The fastest way to ruin your 3D chamber is to let hot concentrate become hard-to-remove residue.
- Terp Pearls: Are small beads that are placed inside the bowl to enhance the dabbing experience. These pearls rotate with the airflow during inhalation, ensuring more even distribution, better heat retention, and efficient vaporization of the concentrates.
Usage Tips
- To preserve the flavor of your concentrates, begin with the lowest preset temperature. Each temperature level offers a different experience in terms of flavor and vapor production. Gradually increase the temperature to find your preferred balance. To cycle through these temperature levels, simply double-tap the power button (Blue- 490°F | Green- 510°F | Red- 530°F | White- 590°F).
- Utilize Boost Mode: Boost mode is a feature designed to enhance your experience by providing additional heat and extending the session duration. To activate boost mode, double-click the button during a session after reaching the desired temperature. This will increase the temperature by 18°F and extend the session duration by 15 seconds, which is useful for larger dabs or when you need a more intense hit.
- Water not required: For those who prefer not to use water in the bubbler, the Peak can be used “dry.” You may also activate “intensity mode” by setting your desired temperature preset and clicking the button five times. This mode enhances the preset temperature levels, allowing for a robust dry session experience.
Maintenance Tips
- After each session: Clean the 3D chamber with a glob mop. Wipe gently in a circular motion while the chamber is still warm to remove any residue.
- Deep Cleaning as needed: Disassemble the glass and the chamber from the base, as well as the joystick carb cap from the chamber. Submerge the components in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol for 20 minutes (optional: add coarse salt). Rinse the bubbler and joystick with water and let them air dry completely before reattaching them to the base. Do not rinse the chamber; dry it with a paper towel and let it air dry.
- Coil connection to the base: Clean with a glob mop dipped in ISO.
General Warnings
- Do not overfill the chamber to prevent spillage and damage.
- Keep the rig upright during use to avoid spillover and ensure optimal operation.
- Avoid exhaling hard into the glass, as this can force water into the base.
- Do not use with dry herb, only with solid concentrates.
