Puffco Pivot Review

Get ready for the latest and greatest compact vaporizer from Puffco. You can now enjoy a true dab experience that fit in your pocket. It is pure simplicity: battery, 360 atomizers, and mouthpiece.

PUFFCO Pivot - Slate

With a perfectly sized chamber bucket, you can fit a nicely sized dab inside. It is then enclosed in beneath a silicone mouthpiece which makes it handy to vape and handle, even when hot.

Two pro tips, you want to hold your Pivot upright and your keep mouth on the silicone. It does get hot. It can also be held from bottom, but metallic center does get warm.

The Puffco Pivot is a handheld electric dab rig which is discrete and portable. The same size as a vape pen, the quick-release 3D chamber delivers premium flavor and real-time temperature control. The Pivot glass adapter makes it easy to affix to a glass rig or bong.

Interface and Four Dialed Temperature Control

The temperature Light Bar display rises and when it hits top it is time to take a hit. It also shows you which power setting you have selected. Once you select a setting you either can watch or wait for your Pivot to vibrate like a smart phone.

The colored bar begins to decline as you use it, letting you know how much is left of session. Consistent from first hit to last.
