How to Dab

1. Select your desired temperature level.

2. Use the Dabber to place a small amount of concentrate into the Ceramic Bucket.

3. Press and hold the button to begin heating — the device vibrates when ready.

4. Immediately place the Carb Cap over the Bucket.

5. Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece.

Carb Cap Technique

The Carb Cap is essential for getting the best performance from the Puffco Peak:

  • Cap immediately after heating starts to trap air and create back-pressure.
  • Rotate gently while inhaling to distribute heat inside the Bucket.
  • Lift and press rhythmically to control airflow (directional airflow technique).

Sesh Mode

Double-click during an active session to extend the heat cycle. This helps vaporize any remaining concentrate.

---

Bucket Insert Options

The Puffco Peak supports multiple bucket materials:

  • Ceramic (included) — Durable with solid flavor
  • Quartz — Cleaner taste, easier to maintain
  • Silicon Carbide (SiC) — Even heat distribution, excellent flavor

Replace by removing the Atomizer and swapping the Bucket inside.

Maintenance and Cleaning

After Every Session

  • Use a Cotton Swab dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol to wipe the inside of the Bucket while still warm.
  • Replace the water in the glass after each use.

Deep Clean (Weekly)

  • Remove the Atomizer and soak in Isopropyl Alcohol for 20-30 minutes.
  • Clean the glass with Alcohol, then rinse with water.
  • Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling.

Atomizer Replacement

When the Atomizer produces off-flavors or reduced vapor despite adequate concentrate, it is time to replace the Atomizer.

Pro Tips

  • Dab size: Start with rice-grain amounts and adjust upward as needed.
  • Cold Start: Try loading concentrate into the Bucket before activating the heat for a flavor-forward session.
  • Maintain the Atomizer: Cleaning after every session dramatically extends Atomizer life.
  • Drain the glass: Empty the water after every session to prevent residue buildup.
  • The Original: The Peak may not have all the features of the Peak Pro, but it delivers an excellent experience at a more accessible price point.
