There are few wax vaporizers more well-known than the Puffco Peak Vaporizer. Along with the Puffco Plus, the Peak makes up part of Puffco’s innovative, stylish devices that has rocked the industry.

Since the company lowered its price from the original 350 dollars, the Puffco Peak has never been more popular. And, with water filtration, ceramic bowl, and a large battery all packed into a sleek design, it’s easy to see why.

But, with so many modern wax vapes on the market, does the Puffco Peak still hold up? And, is it the right wax vape for you?

Let’s find out.

Puffco Peak Vaporizer - Still Worth Buying In 2022?

The Puffco Peak vaporizer is a unique device that combines electronic wax vaporization with water filtration. It offers a wide array of features, high-quality construction, and ease of use, making it very attractive to many, from novice vaping enthusiasts to seasoned vapers.

Here’s a closer look at its features: 

Temperature settings

The Puffco Peak comes with four temperature presets that go up in 50° increments, from 450°F/232°C to 600°F/315°C. This offers users a fairly wide variety of vaporization options to vape their materials. 

Reaching those high temperatures will usually take the Peak about 20-25 seconds. Although that’s slower than some other e-rigs, it’s still faster than using a dab rig. Instead of having the heating element provide a fixed temperature, the Peak calibrates the bowl’s temperature. This allows the bowl to stay at a consistent temperature, lowering the temperature if the bowl is getting too hot, and increasing it when the bowl is being cooled by the airflow.

Despite the wide and efficient temperature settings, it is still a bit disappointing to see no custom temperature settings, especially at this price range. If you want to customize temperatures, take a look at the Puffco Peak Pro.

Vapor Quality

The Puffco Peak’s high-quality vapor comes from its high-quality ceramic bowl, safely positioned into the piece to minimize any burning risks. That means no hot areas to worry about when passing the Peak around. The Peak atomizer, however, could use an upgrade, since its older and more fragile design is prone to breakage, and replacing it will set you back $40

Besides its ceramic bowl and dynamic temperature control, the Peak features a glass water chamber to filter and cool off the vapor before it exits. All elements work together perfectly, producing some of the densest and most flavorful rips you can get.

Design

Like all other Puffco products, the Peak is designed to look like the high-end device it is. It features eye-catching LED lights, a glass water chamber, and a sleek metal and rubber base. The LED light band shows you the state of the device and lets you know when it needs charging. Coupled with the haptic feedback, the Peak’s design is intuitively easy to use.

The compact and conical shape isn’t just easy on the eyes, it’s also functional, giving it a low center of gravity and allowing the silicone base to sit stable and sturdy. And, with the included carrying case and loading tool, it’s easy to take the Peak anywhere.
