Puffco Announces The $299 Proxy A Modular, Innovative Cannabis Vaporizer
Puffco proxy is a leader in the market for innovative cannabis vapers. Puffco’s Peak Pro is a top-rated e-rig. The company recently introduced the Proxy, a new vape. It features the Peak Pro’s best features and can be made into a variety of forms.
The pipe is beautiful, but don’t let it distract you. It’s only a small piece of glass. The Proxy can slide into the glass. The Proxy can be considered a modular dabbing device, which can fit in any size frame. Bubbler? Sure. Glass beaker? Yep. Pipe? Obviously.
This self-contained rig costs $299 and is approximately the same size as a taller D cell battery. The Peak Pro, the company’s flagship product, has the same heating element. The battery can be recharged via USB-C and comes preprogrammed with four heat levels.

It’s easy to use. Open the carb cap at top and drop in your favorite concentrate (resins, shatters, hash, etc.). To activate the oven, press the button twice. After a few seconds, the oven will blast off. The glass pipe was very comfortable and smooth. I’d love to use it with a waterpiece.
Roger Volodarsky, founder of Puffco, said to TechCrunch that this vaporizer looks just like one. It’s the first modular vaporizer to be able to fit any design. The Proxy will also be able to drop in different accessories from [Puffco].
The company is also looking for makers to create unique accessories to the Proxy.
Puffco’s accessories community has been active for years. They have created accessories for its flagship product, the Peak Pro and Peak Peak. Puffco has a few available for sale on its website. Etsy and eBay also have custom glass pieces and accessories. The Peak’s design is restrictive and requires that glass pieces be made to a certain form factor.
Volodarsky believes that it will be easier for builders to construct around the self-contained Proxy.
Volodarsky stated that it takes less to build a Proxy. It takes eight to sixteen hours for an artist to build a Peak top – unless it is really, really expensive. The Proxy takes less time, so artists get more for their efforts. They can charge less for a piece if it takes them four hours to create it. We believe there will be more affordable options for our community.
Puffco.com, as well as several retailers, sell the Proxy for $299. The company also expects to release new form factors and accessories in the coming months.
Volodarsky started Puffco in 2013, and has since bootstrapped it. Roger does not want to invest in venture capital.
TechCrunch asked him if he had a problem with serving investors. “Everything must be highly profitable. Usually, that means you pay employees as little as possible.
This means that you are cutting corners in order to increase profitability. We are here to grow the business and make it more professional.
That doesn’t align well with the returns that I believe shareholders would like. So, no, I won’t have any investors as long as possible. It doesn’t seem like there will be a need in the future. Only early-stage employees have any ownership in Puffco.
Volodarsky claims that the company experienced an exponential growth period from 2016 to 2021. Its revenue has been consistent at doubling every year. However, the chip shortage had a negative impact on the company.
Although the Proxy was originally supposed to release in 2021 the company decided to delay it until now so that it could obtain enough inventory to launch it.
The Puffco Proxy comes to market at an important time. The United States has legalized cannabis in many forms, and Europe is showing some signs of embracing the law.
Due to the growth in domestic markets, consumers are more likely to discover cannabis. Some are also looking for high-end equipment and experiences. Puffco products are a great choice.
Puffco products have been my favorite for a long time. The Proxy brings the best of Puffco into new form factors. After using the Proxy for a few days, I found it to be much more easy to clean than other Puffco products.
It’s also a joy of use. It is easy to remove the Proxy from the glass pipe and see it fit into any number of glass pieces. It’s exciting to see what other people make for this thing.

CEO Crying Selfie Layoffs: A CEO of a US company is facing flak for the way he announced the firing of his employees on LinkedIn, with people deeming it reprehensible.
Braden Wallake, the CEO of HyperSocial, posted a photo of himself crying while trying to explain why few employees had to be laid off from his company.

“I’ve gone back and forth whether to post this or not. We just had to layoff a few of our employees. I’ve seen a lot of layoffs over the last few weeks on LinkedIn. Most of those are due to the economy, or whatever other reason. Ours? My fault,” Wallake wrote.
“I made a decision in February to stop selling our main services and focus on a new service. A higher priced service. It’s a great service, and something we will continue to offer, but it’s for the right kinds of companies,” he added.
“Now, I know my team will say that ‘we made that decision together’, but I lead us into it. And because of those failings, I had to do today, the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do.”
Wallake said despite the layoffs, the company has always been a people first business. “We’ve always been a people first business. And we always will be. Days like today, I wish I was a business owner that was only money driven and didn’t care about who he hurt along the way.”
“So, I just want people to see, that not every CEO out there is cold-hearted and doesn’t care when he/she have to lay people off. I’m sure there are hundreds and thousands of others like me. The ones you don’t see talked about. Because they didn’t lay off 50 or 500 or 5000 employees,” he said.
He further went on add that hoped his employees realised how much he loved them. “I know it isn’t professional to tell my employees that I love them. But from the bottom of my heart, I hope they know how much I do. Every single one. Every single story. Every single thing that makes them smile and every single thing that makes them cry. Their families. Their friends. Their hobbies,” he wrote.
CEO criticised for his crying selfie after firing employees
The post has gone viral and people have laid into Wallake for the crying selfie he posted.
Screengrab/LinkedIn
“Don’t worry everyone. Not every CEO is cold hearted. Some are attention seeking narcissists. it’s fine. Stop worrying,” one user commented.
“Taking a selfie while crying. I applaud your ability to multitask under distress,” another user said.
“Three things that disturb me about this post – one, this strikes as “how hard this is for me, pity the poor CEO” when people have just lost their jobs. A bit insensitive. Two, the authors replies to peoples comments seem in a tone that suggests he’s not exactly heart broken. And three, if you’ve laid people off and you are taking to LinkedIn to post about it, maybe link them, sing their praises and skills and let other companies know they would be amazing people to hire. This post just comes off as attention seeking,” a third user added.
