The pockey will shit all over the proxy@chillmike Thanks for the detailed post Mike. I did read MOST of it, but was stoned so you know...
Question though: Though I've been a stoner since the 70's, other than hot-kniving hash in Canada DECADES ago, I've never dabbed. It's always been weed. So want to get into it to add a little variety as since now I'm a stoner for recreational AND medical reasons (due to numerous injuries because of an adventurous life and bad luck, I have build a tolerance up so need to add variety. I've seen the fancy dab rigs with all the crap and I just don't want to have to deal with all that stuff, so wanted something easy.
I've been looking at the Puffco Proxy and the Pockety (thanks a FC member) and I am REALLY torn. I like the functionality of the Pockety but don't like the looks much. Price is great though. And its not that its ugly, but the Puffco Proxy just looks awesome, probably as I read every Sherlock Holmes story as a kid and also I know I could buy an after-market Gandalf/hobbit version too. And as an OG stoner, pipes are just my jam...
But the Puffco Proxy is $300 and the Pockety with the 50% off code, is almost half that!!
Help me decide!!! (Thanks in advance.)
The proxy is the little sibling to the the puffco peak pro
It doesn't have the 3d heating (which is only 2d) of the peak pro and the pro is decidedly better
The pockety is a better version of the peak pro in regards to heating chamber and has actual 3d (they say 5d) heating
I looked at the proxy for a while when it came out but am happy I didn't go in
A lot of marketing and advertising money spent which could be better put to improving the unit
The pockety is in its first iteration and two of us have reported a reset of the settings
But it is absolutely the better option imo over the proxy
It does all the work for you too being new to dabs (even as a seasoned dabber I like the stoner proof function of this rig)
The proxy does not have the thermocouple temp sensor control tech that the pro and pockety have
This is the tech that makes it stand out from the crowd with it's true 3d(5d) heating chamber
