Yep, it’s acrylic, just like the glassware. As such, iso is definitely on the “no” list. Hot water and dish soap should do fine; if that’s not enough to get the job done I’d try powdered brewery wash.

Uhhh… who are we talking about? And why? And what does their camera have to do with anything?

Could you clarify what you’re referring to? I’m not aware of anything I’d describe as a “health organization” having weighed in on this topic.

I have a zx and a first-generation Bowle, and honestly they’re very similar in terms of vapor quality. The Bowle won’t one-hit a bowl like the zx will, but if you turn down your zx til it takes three or four hits to cash a bowl, you’re going to be having an experience very similar to the Bowle.

Just a heads up, these claims all come from one person (this guy: https://abeymanagement.wixsite.com/amir/bio), and they’re… well, there’s no way to phrase this delicately: they’re bullshit. Do some reading on Bey and come to your own conclusions if you’d like, but he 100% doesn’t speak for any...

Yeah, I’ve never come close to combustion with the original, even with slow draw level-4 blinkers and dry weed. I’m actually kind of shocked that it would be possible with the new one (discounting whatever it is that level-5 is capable of).

Yeah, the coating is really a disappointment. Doesn’t really contribute anything to the device but makes it much more delicate for no good reason. I’d honestly prefer the puck and stem to both be totally unfinished.

It’s this one: https://www.planetofthevapes.com/products/tafee-bowle-usb-charger-cable v1 was notoriously picky about the charger/cable being used; hopefully the upgrade to the usb-c standard has made that pickiness a thing of the past.

Huh, looks like they sold out the initial batch. Anyone in the mood to make a wager as to whether this will be restocked before 2027? 😅

@Gary-Airvape, your site says “The first units shipped to industry professionals and beta testers” this month. Did this actually happen? And if it did, can you share who it was shipped to and if they’re under a press embargo at the moment? I find it kind of strange that y’all are claiming this...

Yeah, mine was $369 with shipping included, straight from Tafee, January 2021.

I mean, it’s been what, four years of this? They are who they are, and they run their business like they do. I’ve been at the vanguard of “another missed deadline, wtf, Tafee??” for a decent amount of that time, but it seems like it’s well past the time where everyone just accepts that Tafee’s...

Oh, one other nice feature in the new listing: “made in Canada”. North American production goes a long way in justifying the ultra-premium price tag for me.

Looks like the ship date has been pushed back a week, shockingly… on the plus side, they’ve actually got the Bowle II listed on their site, and on the very plus side it claims to have a battery of over 5000 mAh, which would make it more than six times the capacity of the 750 mAh original. Price...

Does yours look like this, but with the PID outlet on the right rather than the left? https://vgoodiez.com/products/pid-controller-by-crossing-technology That’s what I got with mine; I believe the actual “brains” of the unit is the same as the manual linked earlier.

Hmmm… I’ve run mine at 600f on occasion and have never noticed any smell coming from the heater assembly at all. What you’re describing doesn’t sound normal from what I’ve experienced, is there any chance the coil is coming into contact with something it shouldn’t be?

The controller will leave your set temp at whatever temp you selected via the up/down arrows, even when powered off and on again. I leave the Set button alone completely, just because of the fact that there isn’t a readily available manual to use, in case something in the settings gets messed up.

Silver tab is just to eject the coil assembly so you’re not yanking on it. Button on the back turns the device on, the +\- buttons adjust the temp setting. Just ignore everything else.

And now that I finally checked their launch page it looks like the price and release date has been updated: “Estimated Delivery: 4/20, 2024 To receive a 50% discount off of the $420 retail price” @Gary-Airvape, is the $25 deposit refundable if you don’t hit your release date? I’m willing to...

After nearly two years of snickering at the product every time I stumbled upon this thread, the damn thing finally clicked with me. Like, fuck yeah I want the kind of life where I need a little retro-futuristic vaping appliance in my living room. I’m not confident that this will be what it...
