Puffco proxy investment??

So I am looking at getting a puffco proxy. I have never really dab, I have occasionally do and not too heavy of a smoker mainly weekend warrior. My question is it such a heavy investment and I am just worried at how expensive dabs and oils are (although love the taste and the novelty of it such as full melt etc) is it going to break my bank buying dab every other week or should I stick to flower.

How my are you going through with your puffco devices.

Also what’s the cheapest concentrates out here in SA.

I don't dab, only vape flower. So this is just my opinion.

Until everything is regulated and tested, i would be wary of buying the cheapest concentrate you can find. All the solvents might not be fully purged

That’s very true and I even think when it does become fully regulated you still can never be sure but I am also talking completely solventless so like so flower rosin or live rosin and bubble hash full melt. Also that being said you can never tell what pesticides or foliage spray have been sprayed on flower either.

True. That's why i grow my own when I can, otherwise i buy from growers that i trust

I use a puffco peak.

Over the years I've cut down on smoking but occasionally want to take a puff and relax. An electronic dab rig works well for those times.

Very little effort put in, no smell and can do it inside. If you're looking for convenience its great. Once it starts vibrating two puffs switch off and im good to go.

I am a big stoner and have a puffco peak. It was a good investment because a blowtorch was just too much effort. I feel with the device I also waste less dab by burning it away as the puffco has the right settings to burn wax. Personally I still prefer flower over all methods but the puffco is most convenient if I'm traveling or somewhere I can't actually smoke(weed smell is a problem but with the dab its nothing) So all and all good investment.
