Is Puffco TSA approved?
Puffco devices are allowed, but not "TSA approved" You can take them on flights provided you follow the TSA and airline rules - especially around Lithium batteries.
TSA doesn't have a formal "approval" for Puffco gear - but per official TSA guidelines vapes pens and e-cigarettes are allowed only in carry on luggage, not checked baggage.
Planning Travel? You can bring your puffco, but only if it is on your carry-on, clean and properly packed.
is Puffco Canadian TSA approved?
Yes, Puffco devices are allowed on flights departing Canada. Just follow standard carry on and battery rules governed by TSA or CATSA (Canada's counterpart)
Both TSA and CATSA allowed Puffco devices - only in carry-on bags, never checked luggage. Just make sure it is cleaned thoroughly.
Pro Tip - Pack your Puffco base seperate from the glass and place it in your luggage Up and down - not on its side.
Can you use 70% alcohol on Puffco?
Yes - you can use 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean your puffco chamber but it is not ideal. For best results Puffco and most users recommend 91-99% ISO. Lower concentrations (like 70%) contain more water, which slows evaporation and can leave behind residue or streaks.
70% alcohol works in a pinch - it will dissolve oil and residue, just more slowly.
Higher purity ISO (91-99%) evaporates cleaner and faster, reducing the chance of leftover water spots.
*Avoid soaking electrical components like the base (battery) ONLY soak the chamber and glass
Pro Cleaning Tips for Canadian Puffco Users - Remove glass, chamber and accessories before cleaning. Use Cotton swabs (like Quartzsaver Tips) dipped in ISO for precise cleanup.
Can I hit Puffco Peak Dry?
Yes you can! Many Puffco users actually prefer using a dry top because it's more portable, eliminates the hassle of carrying water, and it is easier to travel with.
That said, water filtration still gives the smoothest and coolest experience overall. If you want the best of both worlds, Drip Glass offers both wet and dry top options. You can find them HERE
Can I submerge my Puffco chamber in alcohol?
Yes, like we have mentioned in the previous question it is best to dunk the chamber in 99% Alcohol to clean. DO NOT dunk the base.
Remove the cap and unscrew the chamber from the base. Submerge the chamber in 99% ISO for about 20 minutes. Let it air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not use water on the chamber. (ISO only)
Never soak or splash the base; clean its threads/ pins with an ISO soaked swab like Quartzsaver tips
If you see a red-white blink (connection error) Puffco's fix includes ISO-soeaking the chamber for 20min and fully drying before reattaching.
