More than 100 glass artists gather in LA: Puffcon 2026

Summary

Vaporizer brand Puffco held its annual event in Los Angeles. Live demonstrations by more than 100 glass artists shared the venue with music from Metro Boomin and others.

Puffco, known for its electric dab rig, the Peak, held its block party Puffcon on October 3 and 4. The venue was Los Angeles Center Studios, a film studio lot in downtown LA. This was the sixth edition.

One of the main draws was the Glass Village. More than 100 glass artists from around the world gathered there and blew glass in front of visitors.

Metro Boomin headlined Saturday and Action Bronson headlined Sunday, with Curren$y and The Alchemist & Boldy James also on the bill. Food came from Smorgasburg, LA's popular open-air market, alongside a silent disco, art installations and booths from more than 50 brands.

Puffcon began as a gathering open only to people who owned a Puffco device. Saturday and two-day passes were still limited to owners this year, but Sunday was open to anyone.

Our view

No cannabis is sold at the event. It works as a kind of cultural festival built around glass, music and food, not as a place to sell. It is also striking that a maker of smoking devices has kept a festival going for six years with glass artists at its center.
