Puffco Peak Pro vs Proxy
Get the Peak Pro ($400.00) for the bigger 3DXL bowl, wireless charging and water in the glass top. Get the Proxy (the Core Kit is $215.00) if you want one base that takes dry glass, water glass or the glass-free Core.

Peak Pro
The Peak Pro is a base with a glass top. The Peak Pro 3DXL comes with the 3DXL Chamber, which Puffco says has “a 78% larger bowl than a standard 3D Chamber”. It’s also the one with wireless charging, through the Power Dock, which is sold separately.
Glass is easy to find for it. Puffco says “just about any attachment that you have for your original Peak should fit just fine on your Peak Pro”. The caps, the Link and the travel pack we carry are on the Peak Pro parts page.
Proxy
The Proxy is a base that slots into a glass piece or into the Core, and Puffco says “Yes, all Proxy bases are compatible with all Proxy glass pieces.” The Core Kit comes with the base and the Core, an anodized aluminum cup with a silicone mouthpiece.
There are two Proxys. The new one has Bluetooth and the original doesn’t. The New Proxy 3D Chamber and the Core only fit the new one, so check which you have before you buy either on its own. The Core Kit here comes with the new Proxy base, so it doesn’t matter there. Puffco also says “the Proxy does not have a 3DXL Chamber or wireless charging.” The glass and chambers we carry are on the Proxy parts page.
Parts made for one or the other
- For the Peak Pro: the 3DXL Chamber and its XL Joystick Cap, the Peak Pro Link, and the Ball Cap and Oculus Carb Cap.
- For the Proxy: Proxy glass (the Wizard and the Bub), the Core, and the New Proxy 3D Chamber.
- For either: the Hot Knife, which Puffco says “works with any setup”.
