Puffco Proxy vs Zeus Arc GTS

The biggest practical difference is heating approach: Puffco Proxy runs conduction (3d chamber, heated ceramic side walls) while Zeus Arc GTS runs conduction. That changes flavor delivery, vapor density, and how the device responds to slow versus fast draws.

Zeus Arc GTS is the cheaper option at $200 compared with $280 for the Puffco Proxy, about $80 less. Live retailer pricing can shift, so confirm before buying.

Puffco Proxy reaches session-ready temperature in ~25 seconds, while the Zeus Arc GTS takes ~80 seconds. That's roughly 55 seconds quicker on the Puffco Proxy, which is useful if you want shorter, on-demand sessions.

Puffco Proxy uses conduction (3d chamber, heated ceramic side walls) heating, while the Zeus Arc GTS uses conduction. Heating style influences flavor profile, vapor density, and how forgiving the device is to draw technique.

Puffco Proxy is the lighter unit at 77 grams with the stock glass pipe, around 48g less than the Zeus Arc GTS at 125g. The lighter device is easier to carry and pocket day-to-day.
