What You’ll Need
To connect your Puffco Proxy to a 10mm female joint rig, you’ll need:
- A 10mm male-to-male adapter (like the Puffco Pivot)
- Your Puffco Proxy (with a charged battery)
- A 10mm female joint dab rig (or a 14mm/18mm rig with a 10mm reducer)
- Optional: Silicone grip or tether (for extra stability)
(Note: If your rig has a 14mm or 18mm joint, you’ll need an additional step-down adapter.)
Step-by-Step: Connecting Your Puffco Proxy to a 10mm Rig
Step 1: Check Your Rig’s Joint Size
- Most small dab rigs have a 10mm female joint.
- If your rig is 14mm or 18mm, you’ll need a 10mm-to-14mm/18mm adapter first.
Step 2: Attach the 10mm Male Adapter
- Remove the Proxy’s stock glass mouthpiece.
- Insert the 10mm male end of your adapter (like the Puffco Pivot) into the Proxy’s base.
- Gently twist to ensure a snug fit—avoid overtightening.
Step 3: Connect to Your 10mm Rig
- Insert the other end of the adapter into your rig’s 10mm female joint.
- Ensure an airtight seal—if there’s wobble, use a silicone sleeve or rubber grommet for stability.
Step 4: Test for Airflow & Stability
- Dry pull first (no water) to check for leaks.
- Add water (just enough to cover the percolator) and test again.
Step 5: Fire It Up!
- Set your Proxy to your preferred heat setting (Green/Blue for flavor, Red for clouds).
- Enjoy smooth, filtered dabs!
