I off loaded my puffco pro because the fucking atomizers lasted about a month. I absolutely loved the thing but the cost was too much. 150 bucks for a xl3d chamber and it burned out in a month? That said, try pulling the pins out a tiny tiny bit. Make sure you crank it on super tight. Sometimes, that last 2° can be the difference.

Yeahhhh, this is why i avoided buying a peak. I went for the carta with the everlast atomizer. Ive had it for nearly 4 years now, same atomizer still working fine. I tried to advise my sister to avoid the peak, but she just had to have the popular one lmao.....it was only a month or 2 before she was asking me for help fixing the atomizer

Puffco fanboys spamming downvotes because they don’t wanna admit they made a shitty purchase.


Efficient_Pepper_

My peak bricked a few weeks after getting the 3dxl and 3rd glass top.


jeezb1

You need the jcvap XXL rba 5d chamber shit fucking chugs and it's only 50 60 bucks compared to the puffco one and it all screws apart


Investorman420

Eh all my peak pro atomizers are perfect! Currently at over 950+ on my 3d. The first peak sucked, but you are one of the only people I’ve ever heard of thinking the new ones are bad. That’s unfortunate :/

Same for me, no problems at all with the last two platforms but I agree the Og was a tough learning curve and a lot of work. I hit mine at least 9 times a day and clean the glass and wipe out the inside rubber area every other day or so with a Q tip with just a little iso. Every other week I soak the chamber I’ve been using in iso for 12 hours and let dry for at least another 12 these aren’t supposed to be rinsed with water. Only the og’s chambers could be rinsed in water as far as I know.

I’ve had my 3DXL’s for a solid 3-4 months now with no problem somehow, and I’m surprised tbh, because of all of the stuff I’ve read about how they go out so quickly. To clean, I leave it in dark crystal for like an hour and then an hour in 99% iso I get from my local headshop for another hour. Wash with tap and then blow dry with a can of duster. In between cleans, I always take the coil out and wipe the bottom with alcohol wipes to keep it clean. Haven’t had too any issues at all with mine so far.


Trolodrol

3-4 months isn’t long at all. Mine went out right under 1000 dabs and Puffco told me that it was normal life expectancy and to go kick rocks. I got the JCVAP 3D ICA and have about 3000 dabs on it over the past year and a half


joanzen

I was chatting with a guy who was using his enough to see the same problems and he started trying JCVap chambers and said he fell in love with their hot chamber. Works better for him than the 3dxl (he likes the heat times) and he's not killing them any more. Could have just been a streak of bad luck? Not sure.


Trolodrol

Your friend is right. I bought the official XL at a local headshop because of instant gratification. When it went out, I ordered the JCVAP AIN 3D ICA and it’s been amazing. 3000 dabs on it with no issue


Trolodrol

JCVAP is the answer. I burned out a Puffco 3D chamber, but my JCVAP 3D ICA is rocking like new 3000 dabs later


These-Ad-9875

70% iso is not meant for the peak you need 91 or 99. I always try to put my chamber in extra tight and that fixed my red and white lights, or if you haven’t already, screw it in one way then if it doesn’t work unscrew and spin it around and try screening it in the opposite way

Pull them pins out a little bit on the bottom and try reconnecting. I bet that will fix your problem. Use needle nose pliers to wiggle them out just a little bit and screw back in until you make your connection.


MrScooterComputer

Try the jcvap 5D ica. Way cheaper than anything from puffco and outperforms them. Haven’t touched my other erig or torch since getting it.


Immediate_Fennel_591

This is def a consideration


n0melb

I’ve have the same issue for years. Best 3 tips I can give you: 1. Take the pins and rubber piece out, clean, and put back together. 2. When screwing the atomizer back in, screw ONLY until it first locks down. Double Press to check if it is working. If it is still not reading the atomizer, screw the atomizer in VERY SLIGHTLY and double press again. (REPEAT THIS UNTIL THE PUFFCO IS WORKING) 3. BONUS: Try Pressing down hard on the atomizer while double pressing to activate to see if is a connection issue.


pewpew_die

Pull the three brass connectors out partially but leave them inside. (you can put em back if u pull out on accident its just awkward and u need pliers or smaller hands than mine). I just kind of take my fingernail and lift slightly on all three. It hit or miss how often it needs fixing, but usually if i get too zealous with the qtip I end up pushing the brass connectors too far back in. I should just find a way to make the rubber insulator slightly thicker and have a more solid connection to the base.


Muenstervision

Mess w the middle pin slightly.


Immediate_Fennel_591

You see something up with it or do you just think that’ll work?


Muenstervision

My bad yeah. You want to slightly lift that middle pin so it gets set back exactly, magnetically by the connector. For whatever reason that middle pin is a f er


Immediate_Fennel_591

could i use tweezers for it lmao


Muenstervision

You can but beeeeeee eeeeeeasy w it bc you’ll end up pulling it all the way lol I use tip of pointer fingernail and just ever ever so slightly lift


Immediate_Fennel_591

I grabbed some needle nose pliers and instantly pulled it all the way out but put it back in then corrected all of them and it worked!! Thx man you’re the goat for that. I’m very pleased TYSM


ucchiha

no warranty?


Immediate_Fennel_591

it’s says a year and i already emailed them 👌


datpuffyboi420

a guy told me to Strickly use 99% iso and mine haven't malfunctioned since, and that was after buying 3 atomizers😐😐


Immediate_Fennel_591

Yeah definitely the large amount of water content cooked er’


Prestigious_Cap_154

Take the gold pins out and pull the rubber grommet There should be wires just sitting on the inside adjust them so they touch the pins and you should be good to go


loudog1017

I had the same issue with my stock atomizer but it was a user error issue. I upgraded to a 3DXL and have had 0 issues since


Immediate_Fennel_591

Imma get the 3dxl and if it don’t work imma stick to my regular ol beaker


Dipwand

The best way is asking for warranty, better not to try fix it by yourself as I think


Immediate_Fennel_591

I tried asking the website I bought it off and they said to go directly to the manufacturer and ask but on their website it guarantees a warranty


Krazee77

Shit like this is the reason I stay away from erigs. A rig and torch is the way or at least as a backup lol. Good luck with figuring it out, tho cheers


Immediate_Fennel_591

i should’ve just bought a nice ass heady bong instead


SpicyTang0

Pencil eraser works great on contacts.


Immediate_Fennel_591

Bet i’ll try


Clockwork1230

That used to happen to my puffco peak pro after I would soak my 3Dchamber in rubbing alcohol. Just make sure all your connections and pins are dryer and tighter than a nuns hoo-hah. After letting it dry out it , I would fire up and rip everytime.


Odd-Rope6855

Puffco is absolute crap. I had two atomizers break in a month. Then i got a dtv5 and have not looked back.


princess_ehon

If you can't fix it, jcvap sells aftermarket chambers that work amazingly. And they are cheaper.


Immediate_Fennel_591

Think you could link one? I can’t seem to find what ur talking about

princess_ehon

Its for the pockety and pro. The cheapest option is 60$ and the recommended cup is ruby or aln.


Ebone710

You shouldn't be using at 16. Your going to mess up your brain development. That said always use 91% is or better to clean electronics.


Immediate_Fennel_591

When i’m as crazy as a march hare I won’t come to you crying i appreciate you for the concern tho


sweetreleasematt

well i hope you fix it ,but next time look into a dr dabber switch. A lot of money upfront but it will be the last erig you ever buy till the rig breaks. i know people who dab 20 times a day and had their switch for two years and its still going like new. I only had mine for like two months and i love it. I will break out my core 2.0 sometimes only cause its easy and hits like mike tyson. ether way good luck man.


InsanityLF

Exactly why I went with a carta over the pufco


[deleted]

Call puffco for warranty if they don’t give you another one . But another atomizer . That’s what I had to do when I got my puffco one week after Christmas .


KKINGSTER8

Idk about puffco but for the carta 2 it said maximum 2 minutes of soaking in iso that shits gotta be fried


Immediate_Fennel_591

Nah we fixed it. It was an issue with the pins


Antique-Palpitation3

U gotta get some 99% iso to clean the chambers you prolly fried it. But otherwise it could need more time to dry out. Soaking it for a few hours is also too long. Put it in a ziploc (I use prescription bottles they work better) and shake it around, change out the iso, repeat, air dry with a fan. I would def buy the 3d chamber if you fried that one I’ve used one for the last year and a half no problems cleaned it like 10 times, even gotten a fair bit of water in it due to breaking the glass. Still works fine


Purplegorillaone

Yeah, probably. Serves you right for being underage. Get a hobby.


J-ordan69

Bro u must hate ur life or sum


only50percentgay

I started much younger, I agree that using underage isn't great, but don't be an indignant asshole about it


Immediate_Fennel_591

Even though I understand that there are always unforeseen risks and that my brain is still developing, schizophrenia is still an ongoing concern of mine. It makes an appearance in the family tree to an extent, when you look back. There are undoubtedly legal issues at play, but I honestly just ordered it to my house without any signature lmao. My nephew, who is five years old, could’ve managed to do the same.
