The dab device you can build into anything
The Puffco Proxy is the rare concentrate vaporizer that isn't really one shape at all. Instead of a fixed base and glass, the Proxy is a self-contained heater-and-battery core that drops into interchangeable glass pieces — a travel pipe, a bubbler, an art piece from your favorite glassblower. This kit pairs the redesigned Proxy device with its signature pipe, giving you a full portable dab setup out of the box and a platform you can keep expanding. It's Puffco's take on modularity: one brain, endless bodies.
What's under the hood
The current Proxy is a ground-up refinement of the original. A reshaped body delivers bigger, cleaner hits, and the upgraded 3D chamber is the star — it's built for bigger dabs, better flavor, and noticeably less splash-out, the messy blowback that plagues lesser rigs. Bluetooth pairs it to the Puffco Connect app, where you control temperature, session time, vapor level, and even the mood lighting. Power comes from a USB-C rechargeable cell rated for up to 15 dabs per charge, with a roughly two-hour recharge.

The Proxy is made for the dabber who doesn't want to be chained to a countertop rig. If you travel, session outdoors, or just like the idea of a concentrate device that fits in a jacket pocket, this is the one. It's also the pick for collectors — because any Proxy-compatible glass works, it becomes a canvas for the artist-glass scene, and swapping bodies changes the whole experience. Newcomers get an approachable, app-guided intro to concentrates; veterans get a portable that doesn't feel like a downgrade from their big rig.
Most portable dab devices ask you to accept a compromise: convenient but weak, or powerful but tethered. The Proxy's modular design sidesteps that by separating the heater from the glass, so you get real dab performance in whatever form the moment calls for. The 3D chamber upgrade is a meaningful step for flavor and cleanliness, and the app-level control puts precise temperature in your hands rather than a single preset.
At $250 for the kit, it undercuts a full countertop rig while doing something none of them can — going anywhere and wearing any glass you want. It's the flexible backbone of a concentrate setup, not a dead-end gadget.
Puffco effectively built the modern e-rig category, and the Proxy is where that engineering met the glass world's creativity. Since launch it's become a favorite canvas for independent glassblowers, spawning a whole aftermarket of custom Proxy bodies that turn a dab device into a display piece. It captures where concentrate culture is heading: away from the blowtorch-and-nail production of a decade ago and toward clean, controllable, portable sessions that still respect the craft.
Buy the kit, then let the glass scene take it wherever your taste goes. Keep the chamber clean between sessions and the flavor stays honest. 21+ only.
