Puffco New Peak reaches session-ready temperature in ~25 seconds, while the Airstream takes 3-5 minutes of heat soak, per Cannabis Hardware's ball vape guidance. That's roughly 215 seconds quicker on the Puffco New Peak, which is useful if you want shorter, on-demand sessions.

Airstream uses convection (ball vape) heating, while the Puffco New Peak uses conduction (3d chamber, heated ceramic side walls). Heating style influences flavor profile, vapor density, and how forgiving the device is to draw technique.

Airstream controls heat with integrated pid controller with led display, while the Puffco New Peak uses four fixed presets (blue, green, red, white). Both let you change temperature, just with different levels of precision.

Airstream covers 188-371°C (370-700°F) suggested by Cannabis Hardware, a wider band than the Puffco New Peak at 254-310°C (490-590°F) across four presets. A wider range gives you more room to dial in flavor at the low end and big clouds at the top.

Both devices support concentrate use, typically via an included or aftermarket pad or insert. Check the manual for the recommended approach for each.
