Will be comparing it against the KISS cart T2 and a few other atomizers

Couple of questions... First is maintenance. How should I clean the unit and how often? Is ISO ok to use?

Next, can I screw on and use the oil tanks sold at dispensaries?

After seeing all the hype around puffco I noticed one at a local shop and decided to pick it up. Got it home and took a few hits off it and it seemed to work ok. Next day the coil isn't heating up. I emailled them a couple days ago and am still waiting for a response. Guess i shouldn't have given my old pen to a buddy. Now I've got wax and no vape. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. I love the look and feel of the puffco, just wish i could use it.

Is the light working when you hit the button? Battery charged?

My Puffco Pro came today. Good old UPS. I was surprised how small the package it came in was: A 5 inch cardboard cube. Inside the cube was the puffco pro carrying case surrounded by a good amount of bubble wrap to protect it. I really like the carrying case. Reminds me of a cigarette case...4 inches (10 cm) square, and 2/3 (1.6cm) of an inch thick. The case seems high quality, sturdy, and has velvet molding inside that precisely fits each part, including the usb charger.

The unit itself measures exactly 5 inches (12.7 cm) long and 1/2 inch in diameter (1.27 cm) at its base. The color is difficult to put into words. From certain angles and lighting, it almost appears black. Examined in more direct lighting, the true color is a dark gray, silvery gun metal, almost black...if that makes sense. Holding it in your hand, it's obvious that the puffco is a beautifully machined, high quality piece. It's very sleek and stealthy, with the possible exception of the little led light that lights up when being puffed. It's VERY sexy and discreet otherwise. In short, the puffco is a beautiful thing, if a vape pen can be called beautiful.

Took an hour to charge out of the box using the provided usb charger hooked up to my laptop. It's fully charged when the light on the usb turns from red to green. There's no indicator on the puffco itself when it's done charging. To turn it on, press the button 5 times. You have to press it again to adjust temperature since it won't operate until you've selected a temperature first. Found that out after a few tries! The cartridge is huge. I would say it could easily fit 1/2 gram of wax, shatter, etc., if desired.

First, I tried a very small amount of shatter. The puffco has 3 temp. settings. Green setting (low) first: smooth tasty hit, very easy on the lungs. Blue setting (med): big clouds...still delicious, but be careful...this thing rips and the taste is so smooth, you don't always realize how big a draw you're taking. Didn't try the red setting. I think it would be a bit much for me. Your mileage may vary.
Next I tried some wax, packing the chamber with a more generous amount this time...about .2g. Equally good results. Can't say anything about battery life, since I just got it, but from all reports, the battery life is excellent. Based on this short experience, I would highly recommend the puffco. Pretty reasonable price, too. They give you a 10% discount for liking them on Facebook. Came to a total of $78US including UPS ground shipping...4 business day delivery in the lower 48.

Here's some pics: Enjoy! She's a sexy beast. :love:

Not sure about ISO. I'd say 99+% ISO would be fine especially since the atomizers don't use any sort of glue but try this at your own risk. I wouldn't even try 91% personally.

Besides ISO, you basically have 2 choices from my understanding.

1) Take the battery with the atomizer (coil) only connected and hold it upside down over a towel or foil or anything hot oil can drip on. Have the heat set to high (red) and hold the button down and let the old oil drip out. Repeat as many times as necessary.

2) if you want to do less damage to the battery and coil, put some foil on a skillet/cooking sheet and heat it on 3. Put the coil facing down on the foil. Let gravity and heat do the work. Move the atomizer around periodically but use an oven mit as it will be hot! Check out this vid. Fast forward to 10:10


Nice write up @Crohnie :tup:

@Dresta sorry to hear that! I hate getting something new that breaks a day later. So fucking frustrating. Hopefully the send you a new one!

From my experience, any sort of atomizer that uses this style coil setup is prone to a short life. I've had atomizers like this (with the cotton wick) work for a few hits, a few hours, a few days, a few weeks, and even a few months!

With the cotton wick ones you had to be very careful loading your concentrate so you didn't disconnect the coil. So far it seem like this puffco one with the ceramic bar will help prevent that from happening but I would still try to drop in your concentrate if possible. Using a tool and trying to get the wax off your tool can pull on the coil and cause a connection to break.

When I bought my puffco I bought the 3 pack of extra atomizers just in case. That way if one dies right off the bat I don't have to wait for them to replace it. I can keep vaping while waiting for them to maybe send a new one :\

So far I have used my puffco every day, anywhere from 5-25 hits, for 19 days, without having cleaned thee atomizer once, and it is still working. However I bet one of my other 3 I got will only last half this long! It is just bound to happen :doh:

So they should be sending an Atomizer.
Said they'd give me an extra coil, just gotta return the battery with some return postage.

Hmmmm....

We'll see...
At leas the battery worked well with a KISS T2. The red setting made for a good vape on that atomizer. 4.2 volts if i recall.

@BoogerMan thanks. They had me send a video showing it wasn't working. The shop I picked it up at didn't have any atomizers for it. They said they actually had just gotten the pens. Hopefully puffco will send me a replacement but I think I might go ahead and order a pack of atomizers anyway. I haven't heard of anyone else having a problem so hopefully it was just a fluke thing.

I really want to buy this pen from all the positive reviews I've been reading about it, however the lack of a built-in USB port is a deal killer for me. I hate having to have the 510 dongle with me in order to charge my battery. That's the nice thing about the W9 products is that they have the mini USB built right in, and you can find those anywhere.

The battery lasted me about 5 days of pretty heavy use. Using the provided (420 mah) USB charger, it takes a LONG time to fully recharge from empty...about 7 hours.


EDIT: Would the provided charger hooked into a USB wall charger charge the battery any faster? Or would I new a new USB cable to plug into a wall charger?

I've been dealing with puffco for the past two months over an issue with an order.

The order took ten days to ship, during which time they offered a multitude of excuses that were completely irrelevant.

Bottom line, they ended up sending out an email to all customers with nobody CC'd; therefore, my name and contact information was released to hundreds, if not thousands, of people.

Obviously, this was a huge mistake and I waited patiently for them to fix it. Again, all they offered were excuses; no refund or coupons.

The CEO eventually told me that he'd immediately issue a 30% refund on my purchase; however, I am still waiting eight weeks later.

I'm pursuing legal action agains them and they still don't seem to care. With so many options on the market, do whatever you can to avoid this sorry excuse of a company.

I am also having troubles with Puffco

I ordered an atomizer, took a week to get the package
The package included a battery, not an atomizer

They said they'd send another package with an atomizer
Never received the package and contacted puffco. they filed an investigation with ups

Said they'd send another while the file the investigation

Still no tracking number for the new package or any response from Puffco since that last email two days ago.

You're not going to get a response. You can try Roger Volodarsky at CEO@puffco.com, but he's been ignoring my emails for the past six weeks. Also, if you email their "customer service," you won't get a reply, but if you post a negative comment on their Instagram, they'll INSTANTLY accuse you of being a person from Kandypens and say that their legal department is already working on finding you.

If you want to go after them with me, let me know.

hey puffco people:
can I just order the atomizers and skip the whole kit for the puffco?
I have ego twist batteries and caps from other pens and wondered if anybody knows whether it is standard threaded. Anybody think the battery is any better than a generic one?
I want to just get a 5 pack of the attys.
thxxxx

Yes, they are 510 threaded
I recommend just getting a kiss cart from w9tech though, cause puffco will ship you a battery instead of an atomizer and take over a month to ship you an atomizer lol

actually I knew it fit on the battery but wondered about the drip tip/cap end. I got gobs of those from different pens that are interchangable

To everyone reading
I suggest to never do business with this company

Excuse after excuse. I got ripped off, never got my atomizer. I don't think i ever will.
They just cheated my out of almost 40 dollars.
Fuck these foos

We just received ours and they are amazing. Definitely what I e always wanted from a pen. Put my persei away for the time being. These carts are what the KISS should have been from the start. Hope it stays that way. Huge clouds from such a small pen. :D

Edit: For everyone having issues with CS, did you check your spam folders? Seems like every vape gets the same issues. People think they are being ignored, while weeks ago their ticket was responded to and erased due to inactivity.

my kief is gone so i decided to try some wax and shatter. i'm thinking of buying the puffco pro. i'm curious, around how many medium sized tokes can you get out of a gram of shatter or wax and can you put hash oil in this thing? i'm mostly into buds but i'd like a hit or 3 of some good hash once in awhile.

high times rated it number one for these type units back in june.


edit:
i was just reading this guy's evaluation.

http://www.vapecritic.com/vaporizers/puffco-pro/

he says he gets 50 - 70, 4 second hits on low, per .3 gram. that gives me a good idea what i'm looking at. sounds like a winner. shatter is $50 at a dispensary here, i haven't found any wax yet.

Definitely not in spam folder. Just a damned shady ass company.
I was actually receiving and sending replies to them. I sent them another one to see whats up with all the bullshit they pulled, and bam, IGNORED.

After about a month of bs
I finally got the atomizer and an extra coil.
It hits pretty damned good and has a deep bowl. Can put quite a bit in there. The largest i've seen on a wax pen yet. Coil doesn't seem to have any foul taste.
i give it a 9 outta 10. good product

They really get their shit together though. After these two give out, i might just risk buying another and waiting a month for it to arrive lol

Got my battery charging.
How much should I load on this coil? Like at least 0.3? Do I want to get it all on top of the coil?
I have some crystal type stuff I was hoping to put in but I am worried it will get stuck more on the sides or will the whole thing just boil down anyway.
Like the feel so far.
