Puffco Proxy (Original) — Storm

Four color-coded heat levels, ceramic 3D chamber, and a modular glass pipe. The Original is a preset device without an app. Puffco's OG support lists approximately 15 sessions per charge and around 90 minutes of charging time; Boost reduces battery life.

Desert and Storm are color variants of the Original. The new app-capable Proxy base is a separate generation; chambers must not be assumed to be interchangeable based on the Proxy name alone. Identical color and similar glass do not prove technical equivalence. Check the generation in the product description and the compatibility stated by the manufacturer for the specific accessory.

One click changes the level, a double-click starts the heat cycle. The manual and OG Support publish different temperature values; both are listed separately above and are not merged into a single, seemingly consistent set of measurements. According to the manual, Boost extends the session by 15 seconds and raises the temperature by 18 °F. Follow the instructions regarding cool-down breaks and a maximum of four consecutive heat cycles.

Puffco's OG Support cites approximately 15 sessions, not a guaranteed session count. Using Boost shortens battery life. According to Support, charging via USB-C takes approximately 90 minutes; triple-clicking displays the charge level. The battery is not a user-replaceable part. The manual restricts operation and charging to 32–100 °F (approximately 0–38 °C) and lists 5 V / 1.2 A for the power adapter.

The base sits in a separate glass attachment. Puffco offers compatible Proxy builds and replacement parts; the compatibility statement for the specific generation is authoritative. Remove the glass and chamber before cleaning the base, and reassemble everything completely dry. A random accessory name containing Proxy in the title does not indicate compatibility with every base or chamber.

The instructions describe gently wiping out the warm chamber after use. The chamber must be cooled down before disassembly and deep cleaning. For the chamber, the manual specifies soaking for 20 minutes in isopropyl alcohol of at least 90%, followed by complete air-drying — do not rinse with water. The glass is rinsed with water after a separate alcohol bath and dried completely. Clean the base only with a moistened cotton swab on the contacts and air path; never submerge it.

Puffco's OG Support lists a limited one-year warranty on the base and a one-month warranty on the chamber. Wear, misuse, and purchases from unauthorized retailers are not blanket-covered. A proof of purchase and Puffco's return authorization are required for a claim; retailer obligations and statutory rights remain separate.

The original is an option for buyers looking for a device with four presets and no app who find a suitable remaining-stock offer. Anyone who needs app control or accessories from the new generation must choose the new base and verify compatibility. Compare the total price including shipping, condition, chamber generation, and included glass rather than going by color or product name alone.
