If you’re looking for a great portable wax pen that can produce massive clouds of vapor with better flavor and efficiency, you might want to check out the Puffco Pro 2. This device is a handheld vaporizer for concentrates and waxes that features a sleek design, a ceramic coil, and three temperature settings.
This article will review the Puffco Pro 2 in detail by evaluating its build quality, performance and user experience. Despite being Puffco’s smallest vaporizer, it stands out among other models by packing ample battery life and plenty of features. To write this review, we tested the device ourselves, as well as also consulted other reviews and user feedback online.
Design, Components, and Build Quality
The Puffco Pro 2 has a pen-style design that’s sleek, stylish, and pocket-friendly. It measures 4.72 inches in height and 0.5 inches in diameter, making it easy to carry and use anywhere. The device has a stainless steel finish that can withstand most everyday wear and tear.
Assessing The Assembly
The device consists of the mouthpiece, a ceramic-lined chamber, and its battery. The mouthpiece’s thread-free design makes it easy to attach and detach from the chamber. It also has a removable splash guard that prevents any concentrate from splashing out of the chamber.
Chamber Materials and Quality
The Pro 2’s large-capacity ceramic chamber can hold up to 0.3 grams of concentrate. As with other Puffco models, the material in the chamber is free of glues, fibers, and plastics, ensuring pure and clean vapor production. The chamber also has a ceramic rod wick that heats quickly and evenly, delivering smooth and flavorful vapor.

Average Battery Life and Charging
The Pro 2’s 1430mAh internal battery can provide up to 100 sessions off a single charge, depending on your usage and temperature settings. The battery can be fully charged in just one hour using the USB charger that comes with the device. The charger has a magnetic connection that attaches to the bottom of the battery.
Ease of Charging
You can charge the Pro 2 using any USB port, including your laptop or power bank. It has an LED indicator showing the battery level and charging status. The LED flashes green when the battery is fully charged, blue when half charged, and red when low. The LED flashes red when the device is low on battery but plugged in and charging.
Evaluating & Comparing The Puffco Pro 2’s Average Battery Life
Puffco’s Pro 2 can last several days to a week if you only take a few puffs daily. If you use the device more frequently, the battery can still last a day or two. The device also has an auto shut-off feature that turns off after eight minutes of inactivity to conserve power.
Despite its small size and sleek form factor, the Puffco Pro 2 boasts better battery life when compared to similar devices on the market, such as the KandyPens Galaxy or the Dr. Dabber Aurora.
How To Use The Puffco Pro 2 Vaporizer
The Pro 2 performs surprisingly well in temperature settings and vapor quality. It has three temperature presets that can be cycled by pressing the power button. The temperature settings are indicated by different LED colors: green for low, blue for medium, and white for high.
A Temperature Setting for All Use Cases (and Concentrates)
The Pro 2’s low setting (green) is ideal for users who want to enjoy the terpenes and aromas of their concentrates. On low, the vapor is smooth and delicious, while clouds aren’t too dense or visible. The medium setting (blue) is balanced and offers the best of both worlds, perfect for THC or CBD. Vapor is flavorful and potent, as well as thick and satisfying.
On the other hand, its high setting (white) is for particularly strong concentrates with higher vaporization points, delivering massive clouds with high temperatures. Vapor is potent and dense, but not too smooth or flavorful when used with anything other than shatter.
Sesh Mode
The Puffco Pro 2 also has a Sesh mode that can be activated by double-clicking the power button. This mode produces 12 seconds of continuous vapor for a more intense experience. According to many users, sesh mode is essentially identical to the high setting but with a longer duration of continuous firing.
Cleaning and Maintenance, with Our Recommendations
The Pro 2 is straightforward to maintain, as it has a self-cleaning chamber and a thread-free mouthpiece. To clean the chamber, set the device to its medium (blue) heat preset and hold it upside down, holding the power button. This will allow any byproduct to drip out of the chamber. We recommend you repeat this process twice to ensure a thorough cleaning.
To clean the mouthpiece and the splash guard, remove them from the chamber and wash them with warm water and soap. You can also use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to wipe the battery and charger threading, as well as the connection pins of your device. This will prevent any contacts from getting sticky and affecting their performance.
It would be best to clean your Puffco Pro 2 every few uses to prevent any build-up in its vapor path and keep it in optimal condition. You can also use the hard case that comes with the device to store and protect it when not in use.
The Puffco Pro 2’s Price and Our Verdict
The Puffco Pro 2 is a great portable wax vaporizer with a stainless steel body that offers a stellar experience whether you’re into smoking, vaping, or dabbing. Superb temperature-controlled battery life, self-cleaning chamber, and threadless mouthpiece aside, the device can produce smooth and flavorful vapor even at its low to medium presets.
The Pro 2 is priced at $89.99, which is reasonable for its quality and performance. However, the device does have some notable drawbacks, including:
the tendency of oil concentrates to get stuck around the edges of the chamber
the difficulty of loading small amounts of concentrate onto the coil
occasional clogging of the atomizer with irregular or poor device maintenance
The Pro 2 could also be more discreet or “stealthy,” as it produces visible vapor and has a noticeable smell even on its low-temperature preset.
Overall, we recommend the Puffco Pro 2 to any flavor chaser or enjoyer of cannabis edibles who loves concentrates and wants a powerful and reliable vaporizer. However, if you are looking for a more discreet device or prefer to use small amounts of concentrate at a time, you might want to check out other options on the market.
