How To Use Your Puff Counter

May 28, 2025

One of the most underutilized and often overlooked features on vaporizers lies with their Puff Counters. Simple trackers that work in the background, precisely keeping an eye on how many puffs / hits have been taken from your pen.

While you're off having fun enjoying the moment and seizing the moment, your trusty Puff Counter is diligently working the whole time to ensure you have the information required to get the most out of your sessions.

That’s why Exxus Vape has gone ahead and created this easy briefer to let you in on everything there is to know about Puff Counters and how you can use them to get more out of your vapor sessions right now.

What Are Puff Counters?

So what exactly are these things? Puff Counters are small trackers located on some vaporizer screens, that keep a running total of how many times you’ve held down the power button for a hit from your device.

Typically they will be in one of the corners of the screen, tucked in alongside the other vaporizer information like voltage levels and battery levels. As opposed to other settings that control the device, the Puff Counter is acting more like a stop watch, keeping the time while you enjoy your clouds.

This means that each and every time you press the power button - your Puff Counter is watching from the sidelines and taking note. While you enjoy your clouds, your counter is hard at work giving you the session information you need!

How Do I Reset My Puff Counter?

In order to get a fresh start with your counter for a new day or session, you are going to have to know the specific input for each of your vaporizers. As opposed to the universal “2x, 3x, 5x” operating system that were used to, Puff Counters use a wide variety of different inputs.

Since not all devices are going to have Puff Counters, each one is going to have their own unique way of resetting the count. Take a peek below to see how you can reset the counters on our Snap DLX, Claro, and Adapt Vaporizers.

To reset the puff counter on a Snap DLX 510 Voltage Battery, press the power button 8x in a row. When correctly input, your counter will reset to “000” and you will be all ready to start fresh with a new count.

For the Claro Cartridge Vaporizer, to rest the puff counter hold down both the + and - buttons for 3 seconds and watch as the numbers reset to “000”. Just give it a second and watch as the screen resets to zero, if it doesn’t work at first try pressing them again.

Lastly, on the Adapt Cartridge Vaporizer, when you want to reset the puff counter hold down both the power button and the - button. When held down together, this will revert your counter back to zero and let you start counting once more.

What Are Puff Counters Good For?

Puff Counters are incredibly handy features on your vaporizer and provide you with a vast amount of different quality of life boosts that may not be readily apparent.

You see, with the precision tracking abilities of a Puff Counter, you are able to achieve precision dosing, effectively compare your cartridges, and keep track of your device even when you're not home.

Take a look below to see the benefits you can get from your Puff Counter and why this seemingly simple function is one of the most important features on your device.

Precise Dosing

One of the most important functions provided by Puff Counters lies with their ability to provide you precision dosing capabilities. Thanks to them keeping an exact count of how many hits you’ve had, you always have a reference point to check on to ensure you're staying in your comfort zone.

While out and about it can be easy to lose track of how many draws you’ve taken, leading you to either miss doses out of caution or accidentally take too much. Puff Counters take all of this guess work out of it and let you see a real numerical tracker to give you 100% confidence in your dosing.

This way if you're supposed to use your device at certain intervals of time, you have the peace of mind knowing that everything is on track. Much like prescription pill weekly containers, this makes staying on track a lot easier to accomplish amidst the craziness of life.

Precision dosing is also a great way to conserve your cartridges by holding you accountable to yourself. It’s easy to say “oh I only hit the penjamin once”, but when you have the puff counter right in front of you saying it’s 10… well then you know you have been hitting things pretty hard.

With this definitive “proof” of how much you’ve been vaping, it’s way easier to stick to your cloud regimes and get the most out of your cartridges.

Cartridge Comparisons

Another great advantage of Puff Counters is that it makes comparing your cartridges much more precise. Instead of having to use guess work, you can look at your counter to see exactly when you’ve reached 5 hits and can then compare effects to a different cartridge.

This way it’s easier to see which of your cartridges / brands provide the best experiences and which ones aren’t worth reupping on. If one cartridge takes you 5 puffs to feel the same as 1 puff on another, you have the definitive proof needed to inform your next purchase.

Sometimes you're in the mood for a cartridge you can just puff from all day and keep going, other times you really want to feel it after one. By using your Puff Counter, you can identify the perfect cartridges to match all of your different vibes.

Roommate Control

Ever notice when you get back from work and your cartridge is mysteriously lower than when you left that morning? And when you inquire with your roommate they happen to say “Not me bro, I’ve been chilling all day”.

Well if this has ever been you, now you have the definitive proof to solve your very own Agatha Cloudy mystery with your Puff Counter letting you know exactly how many times your cartridge has been hit while you were out.

While this is a slightly more light hearted bonus, it is a fun way to keep order in the apartment when you’ve got penjamins floating around and little over sight.
