Background
The Peak Pro, also known as the “New Peak Pro,” is Puffco’s premier Dab Rig. Widely recognized as a top contender in its field, it’s the latest version following the original Peak Pro, which made significant waves in the vaporizer market. I’ve been using the original as my go-to device for years and approach this review of the new model with considerable enthusiasm and expectations. For a detailed comparison of the two versions, be sure to check out my separate comparison article.
In this review, I’ll be exploring the New Peak Pro’s features, evaluating its performance, and contrasting it with its predecessor. Expect a thorough walkthrough, so settle in and let’s dive in.
UPDATE [July 2023]: 3DXL Chamber Released
Puffco recently introduced the 3DXL chamber for the Peak Pro. It boasts a 78% larger bowl capable of generating twice the vapor. Priced at $125, it also comes with an XL Joystick carb cap and activates a new “XL” mode in the accompanying smartphone app. More details can be found in the 3DXL Review.
Design Overview
The Peak Pro comprises three main components: the glass, the body, and the chamber. Let’s break down each part:
- Glass Bubbler: The new model’s bubbler is heavier and sturdier, with five air holes at the base for improved airflow. It also features vortex-shaped grooves that cool down the vapor.
- The Base: The base includes a single activation button with haptic feedback, a USB-C port, and a light ring for indicating device status and heat settings.
- The New 3D Chamber: Now a standard inclusion, the 3D Chamber has enhanced connections and an improved joystick carb cap for better airflow and vapor quality.
Intensity Mode and App Integration
The Peak Pro features four preset temperature settings, with an additional “Intensity mode” accessible by clicking the button five times. This mode enhances each setting for thicker, more potent vapor.
The Puffco Connect app allows for custom heat profiles, battery monitoring, and software updates, adding a new dimension to the vaping experience.
Real-Time Temp Control
A standout feature of the Peak Pro is its real-time temperature control, which ensures consistent heating and optimal flavor and efficiency. This advanced technology sets it apart from less sophisticated models.
Bottom Line
While the new Peak Pro doesn’t radically differ from its predecessor in experience, the included 3D chamber and joystick carb cap add significant value. The device’s design and performance are top-notch, making it a strong recommendation for both new and experienced users. Priced at $420, it’s a premium choice in the dabbing world. (buy now)
