Cloud 9 Black Friday Buyer’s Guide: How to Win the Weekend

TL;DR: Preview night is your blanket discount (35% off). Friday morning is for doorbusters and the 9–11 a.m. nicotine BOGO sprint. The rest of the weekend is about stacking category deals smartly, minding exclusions, and grabbing your freebie with any $20+ purchase.

Your Game Plan (by phase)

Thursday, 5 p.m.–Midnight — “Preview Night”
This is your across-the-board savings window: 35% off the whole store (see exclusions in the Sale Details post). Use it to scoop items that rarely go on promo or where sizes/colors sell out (clear bags, grinders, storage, hygiene, chargers). It’s calm, stock is full, and your decision fatigue is low.

Friday, All Day — “Doorbuster Day”
Walk in with a short list; these are fast movers:

• Temple Top Beaker — $75

• Puffco Peak 2024 — $200

• BOGO Hemp (category details in the Sale Details post)

Friday, 9–11 a.m. only — “Nic Sprint”
For two hours, BOGO nicotine disposables (up to 10 total: buy 5, get 5). If disposables are your lane, this is your only timeboxed power play.

Friday–Sunday — “Stack & Re-Up”
Once the buzzer deals are done, the rest of the weekend is about category plays: big % off glass, brand promos (Vadra, Volcano), accessory half-off, and BOGOs on house essentials (papers, tips, eJuice). Bring your specs (10/14/18, 45°/90°) or a photo of your piece for quick sizing.

High-Value Lanes (What to Target)

• Workhorse Glass (Half Off):
  50% off water pipes (excludes Toro, Illadelph, HiSi). If you’ve been waiting to level up a daily driver, this is the moment.

• “Headies” Shelf (Half Off):
  50% off headies—curated pieces at one-day-a-year pricing. Expect low quantities.

• Puffco Ecosystem Deals:

• Accessory Overhaul (Half Off):
  50% off smoking accessories (see full list in Sale Details). This is the quiet MVP—fresh grinder + clean tools = better flavor all winter.

• House Essentials (BOGO):

  eJuice — BOGO.

• Gifts with Purchase (All Weekend):
  Any $20+ purchase = your choice of free pre-roll, drink, or gummies (while supplies last).

Smart Stacks (Example Carts)

• “Daily Driver Reset”
  Half-off water pipe + 50% accessory kit (ash catcher, banger, caps, pearls) + free $20+ gift. You leave with a cleaner, smoother setup and the tools to keep it that way.

• “Puffco Player”
  Peak 2024 doorbuster or Proxy OG + free Higher Education concentrate + 50% accessory add-ons (carb caps/pearls/mats). Future-proofed.

• “Nic Weekend + Re-Up”

Pro Tips (Speed = Savings)

• Bring a photo of your rig/bowl for instant FIT CHECK (10/14/18mm + 45°/90°).

• Start at the counter. Ask staff to point you to doorbusters with the fewest units left.

• Know exclusions (see next post) so you don’t design a build around a brand that’s out of scope.

• Tap rewards. Every $150+ transaction = an entry into the Puffco Giveaway (details below).
