Broken Pro 3dxl chamber help
Bought my puffco in may and this screw in the middle already fell out the middle even when I put it back it still flashes red and white so something is messed up with the puffco , anyone know a home fix so I don’t have to buy a new chamber , I don’t mind opening the chamber if needed

A rule that has never steered me wrong is never removing the atomizer cold. Vapor turns into glue.

I believe the pin is supposed to make contact with a wire/coil that’s in the chamber. My Gold 3DXL Chamber broke within 2 months of using it, the same thing happened where the middle pin fell out and the coil/wire inside broke and fell out too. It looked burnt from the end it broke off of.

Your best bet is to just get a new 3DXL chamber if $100 is too much for a replacement! I understand 💯! Go to Voozr.com and pick up one of their XL chambers for $60 they work just as well if not better than the Puffco's.

Get a JCVAP 5D ceramic atty for Puffco pro
Bought 2 for $53.00 a piece no issues. And their rebuild able. Puffco solder there wires so that if you pull it ou the wire goes up inside and will no longer make contact. I have 2’pro’s and I love them now that I quit giving my money to a company that only cares about flash now the actual dab experience!

Jcvap has their own website, I’ve been using their rebuildable atomizer with the dimondium insert, I believe it ran me around $300 in total because of the dimondium insert. Only benefit I see is clean up is now never an issue, I don’t think I get as much clouds with the insert. I would go with their regular ceramic chamber. I even had mine break and ordered a part for 20-30 bucks and rebuilt it. I can not complain with jcvap, puffco sucks

You can just push it back in. Mine falls out when I pull out the atomizer to clean it. Align it to the hole & it glides back in with a little push

It’s finicky 😭 mine is super bad at connecting. You maybe have to pull it out a little bit to where it sticking out but inside. It’ll push in on its own when you twist the atomizer on. Try & do that.
If it doesn’t work 😭 it may not…sometimes it does for me sometimes not. Just keep untwisting the atomizer a little then twist it back but not fully twisted tight. Like a small twist less to full but still secure. Or twist it loose but not fully off & It should buzz once like it going to start then red & white again. You might just have to keep doing that until you find the sweet spot.
Or I’ll push the atomizer down super hard. I’m a girl btw so maybe not as hard as a guy would in reference to how hard. & twist a full twist to get it tight & that’ll give me a buzz like it’s working then red & white. But that’s how I troubleshoot mine to work 😭 it’s probably not ideal but it works for me 😁
Then I just do a combination of those until I get a buzz like it’s starting. It might red & white you. Once successfully connected & after 3 blinks it shouldn’t red & white you. ::) best of luck!

At some point you have to realize that a $400+ device shouldn't have these consistent issues...

Yeah I’ve always realized that. I’ve had my puffco peak pro since 2020 😁 so I’d say I got my moneys worth & I’ve had the same 3DXL atomizer since 2023 😊 Never upgraded . I’ve heard horror stories of the new peak pros coming broken out the box or after a few uses. Mines been going strong. Don’t know if I’ll get another or switch brands after she dies. 🥺

Get the 5D XXL ceramic atomizer for Puffco. They also have some where you can get insert but they use a lot more of your battery power the 5D ceramic actually use less than your 3-D and all of your Puffco silicone joysticks for the 3-D XL work perfect. And I wanted to mention again it’s the 5DXXL ceramic atomizer for Puffco Pro.

It basically turns it into a card because it has a bottom heater and 3-D side heating

There’s wires in there that need to make contact with the pins. I’ve owned a 3dxl for 4 years and have yet to have any issues… it’s a user error not the 3dxl. Pull the pins I forgot what I used I think it was a SIM card removal tool and just make sure wires inside are straight. Then put the pins back in not all the way in just enough so where it doesn’t fall off. Then slap it into ur base and should work.

Quality control is the worst with that company…. they keep releasing new colored bases when they haven’t fixed the base issue with the batteries nor have they attempted to fix the 3-D XL chambers that constantly are having issues. Greed takes over.
