I mostly do micro dabs, so I've been sticking on green/red. But you inspired me to go hotter. Just White without the boost has been treating me well. At the higher temps I don't know if a pearl is necessary either.

Holy heck. Mine is constantly popping out and it’s my main complaint.While waiting for my replacement I had come across a post (reddit iirc) mentioning a change to the gasket of the Proxy. From what a couple owners mentioned, Puffco will apparently RMA the old 2 lip design if requested because of fitment issues.
The old design comes pops out of my stock and aftermarket pipes much easier than the new design so I appreciate the update.

The newer single lip style is a night and day difference. I can pop out the older style with minimal pressure, where as the other is much more stable. I highly recommend reaching out to Puffco.

Thanks. I already did. I got it 2nd hand. I hope that doesn’t screw me.

No receipt I imagine? Warranty is not transferable if resold from their site. If it was a gift though, maybe.

I got the BUB from Puffco about a month ago, and I have to say it's pretty awesome - and equally pricey.
$100 seems pretty steep, and it is, unless you went into the Proxy game with the intention to throw a lot of money after add-ons.
However, this piece is extremely well-designed and a serious improvement to the vape quality compared to the stock piece.
Water filtration quality 6/10 - Not great nor bad, but I would say near optimal for a piece this size.
Glass quality 10/10 - Sturdy without being cumbersome, I don't think this can be balanced much better.
Portability 8/10 - The box it comes in is great for transporting the BUB with Proxy and 2-3 jars of extract but it's cardboard and foam, and rather square and bulky - a well-designed case would be very welcome, and I'd gladly throw another hundo after that
A cap/plug set that would make it portable with water inside would be killer.
Looks 10/10 - I actually don't mind using this piece in public, it doesn't look bong-like at all. I'd like to see more compact and discreet looking glass on the market.
Cleaning 9/10 - Really easy to clean, some hard to reach places but if cleaned regularly it's sufficient to rinse well with hot water and the occasional ISO shake.
Price 4/10 - High price is expected from Puffco and for any well-designed piece, but this is over the top, $70-80 would be more reasonable. I could buy 3 Proxyclers for the price of the BUB, I would never use the Proxycler in public though.
If you only use the Proxy at home, you're way better off getting the Proxycler or an adapter and a $50 rig. It's a much better wet vaping experience than the BUB.
With this, I can bring wet dabbing with me when on the go, traveling, social gatherings, camping in the woods, and on business trips staying at dull hotels - and that's well worth $100 to me

I was looking at the Bub and the Droplet, but ended up grabbing some American blown glass from a dude on IG. Well, I actually ordered it from a headshop online, but the artist is @glassmd on IG. Pretty cool little bubbler.

I see a few people not liking the high cost of the Bub, there are cheaper alternatives. Not in stock at the US store right now, you could ask them when they expect a restock. Both are available now at the Canadian store.

The Pink Panther Bubbler For Puffco Proxy
Think of the Pink Panther as a midway point between using the Proxy natively, and dry, or using it through a full-sized, single purpose water piece, like our Flask Bubbler. Shaped like a Sherlock-style bubbler, the Pink Panther lets you use a small amount of water to cool down your hit, but not...

Do you have any ability to get in touch with whoever sold it to you? I've helped folks I've sold vapes to with warranty issues before. If not, it might still be worth contacting Puffco. You never know.
Is Puffco making people ship their V1 units back? If not, Puffco's fear might be that people are selling off their old units and keeping the replacements.

Thanks. I did contact them. They are asking for the retail seller and I told them where it came from so we’ll see what happens.

I’d lightly push for a replacement regardless of what their policy is. The Proxy is a new product. The first version of it was defective. Being able to easily pop the thing into different pieces is literally what makes it a “Proxy”.

They are not making international buyers ship them back as far as I'm aware.
If they didn't ask for a receipt yet that's probably a good sign.

I recently tried soaking the Proxy chamber in ISO.
The recommended 30 minutes must be if you do it after each session, because I ended up soaking it for 3 days, and changed the ISO several times.
Most importantly, the chamber works perfectly fine afterwards, just let it dry out and then do a burn off on white mode once or twice before using the chamber again

Took over 3 weeks but I finally got The Proxy and it is EVERYTHING one needs to get started with concentrates. Am loving it!!!
Have heard that adding a terp pearl is a game changer. I went to find some pearls, but only finding 5mm. Too big for The Proxy bowl? What do you think would work? 3mm? 2mm?

I was trying to pull apart my original DOA Proxy and I somehow fixed it 
. I have no idea what I did lol. I was trying to pull the inner portion out of the silicone sleeve (which is very secure), and it felt like something was holding it back. I pried and pried and then, while grabbing it, I held the power button and it came back to life.
I am still really enjoying this device. It's easy to clean, and tastes great. Battery life isn't the best but now that won't be an issue (not that it was before, I just charged before it died).

I couldn’t resist the Wizard pipe, and it came in today. It rips. It also cools. I’m a fan.

The Proxy is finally getting down to a price where I'd have no problem recommending it to any concentrate enjoyer.
Does it come with any kind of case? That's like my ideal vape form factor but I feel like it would break if I look at it wrong.

I’m hunting down a glass piece for my proxy. Thank you! Does anyone here have experience with this proxy bubbler from MJ? Can’t decide if I should go for the mini version or regular.
