Puffco Peak Pro uses conduction (3dxl chamber, heated ceramic side walls) heating, while the Tempest 2 uses convection-heavy with thermal ball matrix. Heating style influences flavor profile, vapor density, and how forgiving the device is to draw technique.

Puffco Peak Pro has the larger chamber at 3DXL bowl is 23mm deep, 78% more capacity than the standard 3D Chamber, versus 0.1g - 0.2g (adjustable) on the Tempest 2. A bigger bowl means fewer reloads on long sessions; a smaller one suits microdosing and quicker bowls.

Tempest 2 is the take-anywhere choice. It's a portable, battery-powered unit, while the Puffco Peak Pro is built for home use, where bigger heaters, AC power, and larger chambers make sense.
