The love hate relationship
I’ve been an avid Puffco user for years. I’ve owned 6 or 7 devices over the last 3 years and have attended multiple puffco events. Lately the new Proxy has been my daily driver and I absolutely love it. I love the convenience, ease of cleaning, portability, etc. It hits those marks 11/10.
But out of all of my devices only half of them work. Both of my Peak Pros refuse to work, (even after following much of the troubleshooting advice given on this sub) and tonight my new Proxy, aka MY GIRL, has decided to stop working/connecting to the chamber. I work overnights at a veterinary hospital, so when I come home I just wanna take a quick rip and settle into my night. I wish it weren’t my higher end/app compatible devices, but that seems to be the trend.
Luckily my old proxy had enough charge after digging it out but I’m bummed. After losing 3 of the more expensive devices, I’m tempted to start exploring other brands or sticking to the glass rigs instead. Or just stick with Puffco’s base option devices since those have worked better for me long term.
I’m going to try giving it a solid cleaning and thoroughly mess with it tomorrow so I haven’t tried everything yet. And I know I’m within the one year warranty, but I’ve never filed a formal warranty claim because my Peak Pros died 1-2 months outside of the warranties. I know I’ll get it working again or go through warranty, I love my Puffco devices so much, and Puffco events have connected me to AMAZING people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. But I can’t keep up with dropping a few hundred every 6-12 months in this economy either lol. I mean I can, I have, but I don’t want to continue that either. Thoughts?
