From here, the walkthrough gets specific: the product details and buying considerations that turn the summary above into an actual decision.

The Puffco Proxy has a potent command over concentrate clouds and even features a compact body design to make bringing this portable concentrate vaporizer on the go a total cinch.

With a suave faux-sherlock style pipe as its shell and intuitive single button operation as a means of operation, there’s no concentrate adventure that can’t be conquered by a Proxy.

But what if we told you the best could get better? All it needs is a little bit of borosilicate glass assistance! Keep reading in this Got Vape Retail Article to learn about the experiences offered by combining your Proxy with the power of GV Glass Distro!

What Is The Proxy Really?

On the surface level the Proxy is a top tier concentrate vaporizer that makes use of its 3D chamber, 4 precision heat settings, and ultra fast heating to provide one of the best experiences for electronic dabbing available today.

While the Proxy ships with its iconic faux-sherlock style pipe - the reality is your Proxy is not limited to this piece or even permanently attached!

That’s right, the Proxy itself is actually just the black battery piece within the chamber of your glass and can be completely removed as its own portable vaporizing device should you have the proper glass to accommodate it.

The GV Glass Distro Effect

Enter GV Glass Distro to save the day with their collection of different glass pieces that have been custom built to synergize with your Proxy Concentrate Vaporizer!

These borosilicate glass pieces act as extensions to your proxy, upgrading the experience top to bottom with their selections of increased airflow, water filtration and built in percolators.

Each of them has been specifically created to hold the Proxy where you would traditionally have your bowl piece, this allows for a familiar but evolved experience with your dabbing.

Now without further delay, it is time to go over the 5 awesome pieces available for your Proxy, with one bonus one at the end that unlocks the entire world for your sessions! As a commonality between the 5, all of these pieces have been made from the highest of quality borosilicate glass to give you a smooth, clean experience with each and every hit you take.

The Custom Sherlock Pipe

First up in the GV Glass Distro bag of tricks is the excellent Custom Sherlock Pipe! With a stable flat base, the Sherlock Pipe brings free standing stability to your Proxy allowing for even more seamless sessions and relaxed cloud blowing.

Once your Proxy is combined with the Custom Sherlock Pipe, leaving it on your desk when you need to go is as easy as… leaving it there! Or should you prefer to enjoy your wax at a slower rate, pick up and put down your Custom Glass with the same ease you would a glass of water.

For extra personalization of your Proxy, the Custom Sherlock Pipe is offered in 6 different colors that feature on its base and mouthpiece for a subtle but infectious color infusion. The options include some elevated refined colors like jade blue, milky green, and slime green!

If the compact pass-ability of the Sherlock Pipe appeals to you but you are interested in throwing a little bit of water filtration into the mix, we recommend you check out the Custom Hammer Pipe!

The awesome pieces really hit the nail on the head so to speak, as they instantly level up your Proxy while still staying as small as possible in size. Thanks to the water filtration and elongated neck of the Hammer Pipe, your vapor is going to be extra cooled before it gets to you!

The Custom Hammer Pipe has subtle ridges along its body and neck in order to make holding onto it intuitive and comfortable. Additionally the piece also features a flat base to make putting it down a stress free process.

The Custom 7 Inch Bubbler

Why was 6 afraid of the Custom 7 Inch Bubbler? Because the Custom 7 Inch Bubbler is so powerful that just one hit can send you to the moon and back! Or at least that’s what we’ve been told… regardless this piece is a slice of absolutely vapor cloud blowing heaven!

Standing at 7” tall this Bubbler is the perfect desktop piece that also brings an immense amount of vapor smoothing thanks to its long curved neck, percolator, and inclusion of water filtration!

With a medium sized body, the 7 Inch Bubbler attachment is an incredibly potent addition to your Proxy sessions and completely transforms your experience from a dry concentrate one to that of silky water filtered perfection.

The Custom 8 Inch Bubbler

Stepping things up a notch is the Custom 8 Inch Bubbler! These stand just one inch taller than their smaller counterpart, but feature a much wider body in order to really allow your Bubbler to fill with a massive amount of vapor before you clear it.

With the extra thickness, the 8 Inch Bubbler has truly achieved the “bubbler” part of its name and produces some seriously massive clouds.

The Custom 8 Inch Bubbler also has a curved neck to allow vapor to bend towards you, simultaneously cooling and becoming smoother. With a percolator bringing it all together, this is a great choice for your Proxy if you are looking for the smoothest of water filtered hits.

The Custom 9 Inch Recycler

Dialing things all the way up to 11 is the Custom 9 Inch Recycler! These are the tallest in the series and have their own identity thanks to being a recycler instead of just a bubbler.

Recyclers allow for even more smoothness in your clouds as they revolve around 2 chambers where your vapor is first created, then filtered, then brought to you. This allows the vapor to be “recycled” as it comes to you having been filtered multiple times already. Add in an ultra stable flat base and curved neck for even more cooling power, and the Custom 9 Inch Recycler is truly the ultimate upgrade you can get for your Proxy!

Freestyling With Your Proxy

For a completely different option, we realized it was important to release a tool that lets you adapt your Proxy to not just specific glass, but any pieces with an 18mm joint!

That’s all due to the power of the Custom Banger Style Slide Attachment! This revolutionary piece allows your Proxy to work with any water pipe, bubbler, recycler, or any other piece you may have as the 18mm joint can truly work with anything!

This opens up the entire world of glass to your Proxy, so if you are looking for the most versatile choice then we highly recommend picking up one of these! They are the perfect item to bring along with your Proxy so you can try out your vaporized dabs with a friend's glass!

Outro By Proxy

Take your time to look over all of the available options and always remember that none of these attachments are permanent and can always be swapped out for the next one!

So whether you are looking for stability, smoother clouds, or the convenience of having your own full sized rig to handle your Proxy - then make sure to pick up one of these GV Glass Distro standouts!
