Two different upgrades for the same Proxy
The Puffco Proxy Flower Bowl and the Proxy Bub are both accessories for the Proxy, but they solve different problems. The Flower Bowl lets you use any Proxy glass piece or accessory for flower, so you are not limited to concentrates. The Bub adds water function to the Proxy experience, using percolated water filtration for a smoother, cooler hit.
Because they address different needs, the right choice depends on what you want from your Proxy. You might even want both eventually, but starting with the one that matches your primary session style makes more sense than buying on impulse.
What each accessory actually adds
-
Puffco Proxy Flower Bowl: The Proxy flower bowl provides the flexibility to utilize any Proxy glass piece / accessory for flower. This is the core benefit: it turns your existing Proxy glass into a flower-ready setup, so you do not need a separate flower pipe.

-
Puffco Proxy Flower Bowl: It securely attaches with a quick plug-in airtight seal. The plug-in seal is the only installation detail supplied; it suggests a simple, tool-free connection, but no further operating steps are provided.
-
Puffco Proxy Bub: The Proxy Bub adds water function to the Proxy experience. Water function is the Bub's defining feature; if you want filtration, this is the accessory that provides it.

-
Puffco Proxy Bub: The percolated water filtration provides a smoother and cooler hit. This is the claimed benefit of the Bub; it is the reason to choose it over a dry glass piece.
-
Puffco Proxy Bub: Made from hand blown borosilicate glass. Borosilicate is the material; hand-blown construction means each piece may vary slightly, though no specific tolerance is supplied.
When the Flower Bowl is the better first buy
Choose the Puffco Proxy Flower Bowl if you already own Proxy glass you like and want to use it with flower. The bowl's main promise is flexibility: it lets you utilize any Proxy glass piece or accessory for flower, and the catalog notes it means you never have to carry a dedicated flower pipe. That makes it a practical add-on for travel or for simplifying your kit.
The supplied information does not include loading instructions, capacity, or cleaning steps for the Flower Bowl. That absence is a limitation of the available evidence, not a sign that the product cannot be used; it simply means you should check the manufacturer's documentation for those details.
When the Bub is the better first buy
Choose the Puffco Proxy Bub if your priority is a cooler, smoother hit through water filtration. The Bub adds water function and percolated filtration, and it is made from hand-blown borosilicate glass. If you mostly use concentrates and want to soften the vapor, the Bub addresses that directly.
The catalog does not supply water-fill levels, draw resistance, or cleaning procedures for the Bub. Those are real decision factors, but they are not confirmed by the available information, so treat any specific numbers you see elsewhere with caution.
Side-by-side on the facts we have
- Primary function: Flower Bowl: enables flower use with any Proxy glass. Bub: adds water filtration for smoother, cooler hits.
- Material: Flower Bowl: not specified in the supplied record. Bub: hand-blown borosilicate glass.
- Installation: Flower Bowl: quick plug-in airtight seal. Bub: no installation details supplied.
- Portability: Flower Bowl: described as small and simple, so you never have to carry a dedicated flower pipe. Bub: size and weight not supplied.
- Care instructions: Neither product's supplied record includes cleaning or care steps. Check manufacturer guidance before use.
A practical way to decide
If you want to use flower with your Proxy and avoid carrying a separate pipe, start with the Flower Bowl. If you want water filtration to cool and smooth your hits, start with the Bub. If you want both flower capability and water filtration, the two accessories are complementary rather than substitutes, but the supplied information does not confirm they can be used together in a single setup, so verify compatibility before combining them.
Budget is another factor: the catalog lists the Flower Bowl at USD 24.49 (comparison price USD 34.99) and the Bub at USD 62.99 (comparison price USD 99.99). Prices can change, so confirm current pricing before you buy.
