Puffco Plus Review: 5 Things You Need to Know

This Puffco Plus review covers the Vision limited edition model — one of the most talked-about wax pens in cannabis circles. At $100, the Puffco Plus sits in the premium tier for dab pens. After using it extensively with fresh rosin, this review breaks down 5 things you absolutely need to know before buying the Puffco Plus, from its standout integrated dab tool to the one design decision that might frustrate you.

Puffco Plus Review: 5 Key Things to Know

1. The Integrated Dab Tool Is a Genuine Game Changer

The standout feature of this Puffco Plus review is the built-in dab tool inside the mouthpiece. Press the silicone section down and a clean dab tool extends out — ready to scoop rosin or concentrate directly into the oven. When you are done, it tucks back in. This thoughtful design eliminates the need to carry a separate dab tool, making the Puffco Plus far more portable and practical than competitors at the same price. Loading on the go has never been this effortless with a dab pen.

2. Three Power Settings Give You Full Control

The Puffco Plus uses a single button for everything. Press it five times to power on. Then cycle through 3 power settings by pressing four times:

• Blue — Low: Smooth, flavorful hits. Best for premium live rosin where taste is everything.
• Green — Medium: Balanced vapor and flavor. The everyday sweet spot for most concentrates.
• Yellow/White — High: Maximum vapor production. Ideal for lower-grade concentrates or when you want big, dense clouds.

For fresh rosin, the medium setting is ideal in this Puffco Plus review experience — flavorful and potent without burning off the terps.

3. Session Mode vs On-Demand Hitting

The Puffco Plus offers two hitting modes. Press the button twice for session mode — the oven heats for 12 seconds and shuts off automatically. For on-demand hits, simply hold the button down and it heats as long as you hold it (up to 12 seconds). A pro tip from this Puffco Plus review: start session mode, wait 3-4 seconds for the oven to warm, then switch to hold mode for a long, smooth draw. After the 12-second limit blinks, wait 1-2 seconds and press again to chain another 12 seconds for a truly massive hit.

4. Vapor Production Is Excellent, but It Runs Warm

Vapor production on the Puffco Plus is genuinely impressive — notably better than comparable $50 wax pens. The silicone guard over the oven is there for good reason: the device gets warm during extended sessions. It will not burn you, but it is noticeably warmer than many competitors. Keep the device upright during hits to prevent heated rosin from flowing toward the mouthpiece rather than the oven. According to Healthline’s guide on vaping concentrates, higher temperatures can degrade terpenes — so the 3-setting control is genuinely useful here for managing heat.

5. The Proprietary Charger Is the Main Downside

The biggest criticism in this Puffco Plus review is the charging system. The Puffco Plus uses a proprietary magnetic charger that is not compatible with other devices. Lose it and you need to buy a replacement from PuffCo. The upside is a fast 30-minute full charge. Still, in a world where everything else runs on USB-C, a proprietary cable feels like an unnecessary constraint. If PuffCo moved to USB-C, this would be a near-flawless device.

Should You Buy the Puffco Plus?

For concentrate and rosin users who want a premium, portable dab pen experience, the Puffco Plus review conclusion is yes. The integrated dab tool alone justifies a price premium over generic wax pens. Vapor quality and flavor are excellent. The 3 heat settings give real flexibility. If you are new to concentrates, a $50 budget option might make more sense to start — but if concentrates are your daily driver, the Puffco Plus delivers where it counts.
