The market leader with innovative cannabis vaporizers is Puffco. One of the best e-rigs is the Puffco Peak Pro, and the company just introduced a new one called the Proxy. It can be built into a variety of forms.
Don't pay attention to the pipe. There is a piece of glass. The Proxy moves into the glass. The Proxy can fit into any form factor made for the unit. Do you mean bubbler? It's definitely true. Are you talking about glass beaker? Yes, that's right. Do you mean pipe? It's definitely obvious.
The rig is about the size of a D-cell battery. The heating element in the Peak Pro is the same one inside. The unit is pre-programmed with four different heat levels.
There is a travel case that holds cables, a cleaning kit and a concentrate container spot.
You can use it if you open the cap at the top, drop in your concentrate, and hit the button twice. Then, a short time later, blast off. I would like to try the glass pipe with a water piece.

Makers are being sought to make other unique accessories for the Proxy.
There is an active community that builds accessories for the company's flagship product, the Peak and the Peak Pro. There are a lot of custom glass pieces and utility accessories on the internet. The Peak's design is limited and requires makers to build glass pieces to a specific form factor.
The self-contained Proxy may make it easier to build around it.
It doesn't take much to build the Proxy. It takes an artist eight to 16 hours to make a top for a Peak. Artists can get the value for their time if the proxy takes less effort. They can charge less if it takes four hours. There will be more affordable options.
The Proxy is $299 at a number of retailers. New form factors and accessories are expected in the next few months.
The company was founded by Volodarsky and he has since started a new company. Roger does not want to accept venture capital funds.
He said he had a problem with serving investors. You have to pay your employees as little as you can because everything has to be profitable. It means you are trying to drive profits. We're here to grow and professionalize the space, and that doesn't align with the returns shareholders would want It doesn't seem like there will be a need for investors in the future, as I'm avoiding them for as long as possible. Early-stage employees are the only ones with any ownership interest in the company.
The company has doubled its revenue every year since 2016 according to Volodarsky. The company had a shortage of chips. The Proxy was supposed to be released in 2021, but the company had to push it back because they didn't have enough inventory.
The market is at a critical time. Europe is showing signs of turning on the lights as cannabis is now legal there. With the explosion in domestic markets, more consumers are discovering the plant, and some are looking for high end experiences and equipment.
The Proxy carries the best of the company into new form factors. It is easy to clean with the Proxy, and it is a joy to use. The Proxy can be taken out of the glass pipe and put into glass pieces. I am looking forward to seeing what people build for this.
