Before diving into the reset process, it’s important to know when and why you might need to reset your Puffco Peak Pro. Here are a few common signs that it’s time for a reset:
- Battery Issues: If the battery isn’t charging or depleting too quickly, a reset might help recalibrate the device.

How To Reset Puffco Peak Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Soft Reset: Quick and Easy Fix

If you’re dealing with minor issues like freezing or connectivity problems, a soft reset is often the first step. Here’s how to perform a soft reset:
- Turn Off the Device: Press and hold the power button on your Puffco Peak Pro until the device powers off.
- Wait for 10-15 Seconds: Give the device a moment to completely power down.
- Turn It Back On: Press and hold the power button again to turn your device back on.
This simple reset can help resolve minor glitches or frozen screens. It’s the easiest and quickest fix to try if your Puffco Peak Pro isn’t working as expected.
2. Hard Reset: For Persistent Issues
If the soft reset didn’t solve your problems, a hard reset might be necessary. This is especially useful for battery issues or when the device isn’t responding to standard resets. Here’s how to perform a hard reset:
- Power Off the Device: Start by turning off your Puffco Peak Pro by holding the power button.
- Simultaneously Press Power and Settings Button: While the device is off, press and hold both the power button and the settings button (the button next to the power button) at the same time.
- Wait for the Device to Vibrate: Hold the buttons for about 10 seconds until you feel the device vibrate, signaling that the reset is complete.
- Release the Buttons and Power On: Release the buttons and then power on the device normally.
A hard reset helps resolve deeper issues that a soft reset can’t, like connectivity or temperature inconsistencies. After performing this reset, your Puffco Peak Pro should be restored to its default settings.
3. Resetting the Puffco Peak Pro for App Pairing Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting your Puffco Peak Pro to the Puffco app, you may need to reset both the device and its Bluetooth connection. Here’s what you need to do:
- Turn Off Bluetooth on Your Phone: Begin by turning off Bluetooth on your phone.
- Perform a Soft Reset on the Device: Follow the steps for the soft reset mentioned earlier.
- Turn On Bluetooth: After resetting the device, turn Bluetooth back on your phone.
- Pair the Device Again: Open the Puffco app and follow the prompts to pair the Puffco Peak Pro with your phone again.
This will clear any previous pairing issues and allow you to reconnect the device properly.
Troubleshooting Common Issues After a Reset
Even after performing a reset, some problems might persist. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve them:
1. Battery Issues After Reset
If you’re experiencing battery problems after resetting your Puffco Peak Pro:
- Check the Charging Port: Make sure the charging port is clean and free of debris. A dirty port can prevent your device from charging properly.
- Try a Different Charger: Sometimes, the issue could be with the charger. If possible, try using a different charging cable or adapter.
- Battery Calibration: If the battery drains too quickly, a full charge cycle (charging to 100% and then using it until it’s empty) can help recalibrate the battery.
2. Temperature Problems

If the device is still not reaching the correct temperature:
- Check the Heat Settings: Ensure that the temperature is set to the desired level in the app or on the device itself.
- Reset Again: Sometimes, performing a hard reset again can fix temperature inconsistencies.
- Check for Blockages: Ensure that the ceramic bowl or atomizer is clean and free from any residue that might be affecting heating.
3. Device Not Pairing with the Puffco App
If you’re still having trouble connecting to the app:
- Ensure the App Is Updated: Check that your Puffco app is up to date to avoid any compatibility issues.
- Reboot Your Phone: Sometimes, rebooting your phone can resolve connection issues.
- Try Connecting with Another Device: If possible, try connecting the Puffco Peak Pro to a different phone or tablet to rule out phone-specific issues.
