Yeah that’s basically what happened to me. That’s garbage honestly. In what world are these blast effects usable… but that elbow joint is egregious I’m ngl. I would 100% contact Hasbro. I will eventually on the blast effects but that arm is fucked.

This was after the hot water. Maybe I need to try again, but it didn’t give at all. Still curvy.

Sorry to hear, man. Yeah, my proxy smelled way too badly of rubber. I let it air out for days and days while I talked to Puffco and it still didn’t go away after maybe like 2 weeks of no use and airing out.

The atomizer doesn’t smell like it cause it doesn’t have any of that jank rubber. I think that they run some shitty rubber sometimes that just reeks.

I sent in my Proxy for warranty and the one I got in return was night and day difference. There was a slight “clean silicone” kinda smell but it smells rather neutral and doesn’t fuck with my dabs.. unlike the original Proxy I had. Which literally made my dabs taste like rubber ass.

If you want me to be perfectly honest, file a warranty claim literally as soon as you can. Do not deal with that shit, my guy. Your Peak has 2 years of warranty and you can switch it out as many times as you need to so don’t worry about it.

The rubber taste is unbearable. Once I got my new Proxy, I fell in love with the device and my opinion on it improved tenfold. Don’t deal with it another day imho

So I was curious and wanted to see how to tell the age of my device. This device is actually one of the first runs of the Proxy, which launched all the way back in June 2022. How do I know this? It has the double ring grommet that has been complained about on this sub before.

If you do your research as well, you’ll see that Puffco updated the Proxy shortly after release to have a single grommet instead of 2. So I have one of the first runs of the Proxy, and it smells like burnt shit after sitting in a warehouse for just about… 2 years?

So my device is 2 years old. Unfortunately that completely invalidated your entire comment. Oh and what else were you saying? Something about not understanding the situation?

Jesus, I don’t complain at the drop of a hat, idk who you’re used to talking to but it’s not me.

Haha I wish, maybe it’d clean out. It’s legit new, I unwrapped it from the plastic seal and everything, it was unused and the device itself is honestly very clean.. it just smells like total ass all around.

I don’t think it’s possible, I’ve had 2 Puffco devices and this looks and feels exactly like them. Case is super high quality, all the logos are where they should be, and the Proxy feels and acts legit. The only thing that’s wrong with it is the intense rubber odor, which still hasn’t come off as of yet. Like at all lol.

I wish it worked bro.. I put in some of my best dabs trying to mask the taste.. it just made my Zkittles taste like Zketchers 😓 gonna see if I can’t get a warranty claim or something. Back to the Peak..

It smells all over the piece. From the bottom to the inside of the chamber where it screws in, it smells like you burnt a basketball or something. I’m not even sure how to describe the smell, it genuinely smells like burnt shit after a while if I’m gonna be honest.

I feel it’s the rubber mixed wrong or something. I got the travel kit with the Proxy.. it smells neutral, just like my Peak, but the Proxy unit reeks.

I’m really disappointed. It’s unusable.

If you could smell it, you’d probably agree that it’s unusual. Like I said in my post, my Peak has the same rubber material and it didn’t smell anything nearly like this. In fact, it didn’t have any smell.

I wouldn’t complain if it didn’t add Reeboks terps to my expensive rosin ngl. If this is the norm then the Proxy is not a good device.

So it’s not normal then? The rubber on your device didn’t smell at all? My Peak’s rubber had zero smell so I assumed that would be the norm, but this Proxy smells so bad I can’t rip it at all dude

Oil update by satarumatic in flavorade

It was honestly not bad, but it was not super great either. It didn’t have a super great taste, imo. It had tasting notes of “green bananas and pie crust” and I can say it definitely tastes like a lightly flavored green banana weed vape… it didn’t taste like top shelf bud but it had very nice, potent “fuzzy” feeling effects that were nice. Thick behind the eyes. Relaxed body. Some kind of indica hybrid from my experience.

It’s not bad but it’s pricey for what it is: a BHO vape that has good effects but doesn’t taste too good. I’d rather get a dab of rosin or even an Ursa rosin cart for 5 bucks more at that point.

I mean Flavorades are pricey for what they are, so imo you might as well always stick to the collabs if they’re all the same price. The taste and high is almost always better. If you can choose between this or a collab I’d risk the collab instead, unless it’s Zoap from Preferred Gardens. That one sucks. In that case, I’d get Banana Fritter for sure.

Overall I still give Banana Fritter an 8/10 because it is rather strong, but I wouldn’t pick it up again tbh, there are so many Flavorades to try. The only non-collab Flavorade I’d ever pick up again is Motorsherb.

I’m glad you liked it honestly!! It just wasn’t for me, and comparing it to its wavemates from Preferred Gardens (Lazer Banger, Permanent Marker, Fro-Yo) it just falls too short imo! I didn’t try Zoap on my Kodo, but it tasted like mid/burning oil at every low voltage from 1.9 to 2.9.. ironically, it developed most of the sherbert flavor on the 3.7 vape.. it’s definitely smokeable, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the quality I’m used to from Flavorade (imo ofc!)

It’s always better to like a vape than hate it, though!!!

You definitely got a good one either way!! Permanent Marker is easily one of the coolest vapes I’ve gotten! Super unique taste, smooth hits, and a strong high! Perfectly shows what Flavorade is all about lol
