I wrote to Verdampftnochmal (the only EU distributor AFAIK) asking if there would be any cheaper, puck-only alternatives to the €370 puck + cup package, but they said no.
I just checked vapefiend and the bowle is only 299euro that is a big difference ....think i'l pull the trigger on it now....even do i still don't like the cup part i am willing too give it a go.

Depends on where you at but dont forget the shitty Brexit and taxes that might come your way now(up to 21% i think).
Also the UK has a different plug, so count in 10 bucks for a quickcharger with 3.0.
Vapefiend has a doscount code "420" its only 10 bucks , but better than nothing ;)
Im gonna wait till Verdampftnochmal gets their stock since the maker is not answering half my emails.
Waited for a code for shipping for almost a week now and Im not satisfied, Tinymight 2.0 inc...

Does anyone know if its possible to charge the TB in a car? I know it might take longer but does it even work?

These situations are really not the same at all, the companies are completely different, with vastly different experience in our industry... if you think the reviews in this thread are mixed, I would suggest re-reading, personally that is not my impression at all...

But yeah it is always a good idea to wait, being an early adopter always comes with some risk, this seems to be one of the least risky however, in my own experience!
I didn’t realize Tafee was a long time player in the cannabis world. (Dotleaf of course is not in that category). I also agree with you that the Bowle reviews on FC are generally positive, however there clearly are some issues. Nonetheless, this is a very innovative product which I likely will eventually purchase. At this price point (with no discounts) and some performance and supply issues, it’s still a wait and see situation.
Thanks to you and the others who’ve contributed to our understanding of this device.
I am a FC newbie and really enjoying many informative comments from fellow enthusiasts.

I think I’m going to need to purchase the Tafee Bowle sooner than expected because of the possible repercussions of the upcoming Vape Ban in the mail. Thoughts?
I was actually wondering if that's the reason why they took the option of just the vape without the cup off the price list. I'm thinking that the States will be the company's biggest market, so by taking the cup away, it gives more of an impression that it's not a vape rather just a cool drink/aromatherapy device. 🤷‍♂️

Edited because my written expression is the shitz

Sorry about your past experience, but I can assure you this is no beta! Bowle works well!
This is the closest this community has come to the “perfect” portable imo.

And re: supply issues .....again imo .....everyone is still experiencing issues with getting raw materials and finished products due to Covid . How many companies had to permanently close? And how many companies got hit with higher costs once China was up and running? Some couldn’t survive, so for me the fact Tafee was able to launch during Covid with such a great product is more important to me than a possible supply issue, but I do understand peoples reservations. I can say as one of the hardest users on portable vapes , I have had no problem other than the reported short battery life but the effects I receive more than make up for it! That’s my :2c:

Yeah I pissed on the rug...... so what
Wow!?! That's crazy! Surly someone will deliver?!? Who does that leave? Seems odd Tafée would go with a delivery service that has a ticking clock on it and not go with whomever is left to deliver? This is madness!

They're not classifying Tafée Bowle as a vape, so they will probably still be fine with FedEx... But there are two other threads to discuss this! (Probably should only be one)

My apologies for getting carried away and off topic 😅 had a long crappy day and now this bad news!?! Thank goodness for my bowle it was just the medicator I needed, temp stepping my way through a full pot, death by a thousand gentile kisses! Was a little freyed around the edges after a day like today so my bowle is especially welcome tonight and some spaced out temp stepping was the cure for what ailes me rather than one super strong tinymight hit and yes I can temp step with that too but I still prefer the Bowle even though it actually has way less settings to step with I find the bowle much more even and consistent hit to hit and I think the taste is really good but I'm also not 100% sure if some of that is from quitting smoking tobacco last month 🤔 I'm very much enjoying my bowle which is very good since it wasn't cheep lol but I'm glad I got it 👍 fits very well into my rotation

What a fucking insult.
Vaping... Vaporizing started out meaning heating packed weed or passing heated air through weed and inhaling it's vapor.
In 2011 with the advent of places like Freedomsmoke USA and Chinese online places, using polyglycerides as a delivery device
for nicotine, and letting it sizzle against a heated coil became popular... "E-cigs" really poured onto the market, and adopted the term
vaporizing... "vaping" was a harmless term before this happened.
It was not until around 2014 that things got convoluted and the use of E-cigs became known as Vaping.
The evolution of a 20th century conceptual descriptive word is now causing the makers and users of
the words original intent great inconvenience.
If Vaping were a nationality this would be appropriation.
Appropriation of nomenclature!
Thanks for listening to a quick rant...
Back on track.
I have some herb some dense that one pot took me 10 hits in the Bowle, and it still wasn't done (but I was!).

Cannabis will never get a free ride in this world. We will always have to fight for it.
Unfortunately, this bullshit will limit access for many that need it.

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse" This is a phrase that should be applied to the lawmakers themselves.

I don't see a Bowle in my future, but good for them for finding a way to ship to anyone who wants one.

I'm also not 100% sure if some of that is from quitting smoking tobacco last month
Good on you @Bad Dog. Glad to hear that cannabis helps with all that.

I dont see how it wouldnt make the ice melt faster, I forget the scientific terms and such but heat energy transfers from the hot to cold, or rather the cold absorbs the heat energy? So the cup/liquid should be absorbing the heat from the puck, even if its slightly warming the liquid its going to melt the ice faster. but then the ice should be keeping the drink itself at a constant temp, theoretically in a perfect environment? Idk, theres a reason I'm not a scientist :lol:

I really wanna give this thing a whack but I might wait a long while before jumping in. Gotta see how it plays out and what they come out with. I think one of those insulated cups would have me sold after the bugs and stuff gets worked out...which I fully expect them to iron it out quickly

Definitely, I was just a little surprised it transferred enough heat to be that noticable on the ice, since acrylic is a pretty good insulator. But it does make a noticable difference!

If you put it into your basket and change the country than uk taxes disappear bringing it down to 300 with code 420!
So worth a shot since the delivery to verdampftnochmal comes without a wall plug.
European vapes tend to go for almost normal prices in the US, wish US and Cad Manufactures would do the same thing and not charge us 30%+!

Thanks for the hint, I just checked and this is how it works indeed.
What they seem to do is remove the 20% UK VAT (this must've been part of the Brexit deal I guess), and then the price drops to 300 EUR or so. After that, you may have to pay for your country taxes/customs fees but it is still a fair deal.

I've spent a few days with the Bowle now. it is very impressive. mine just works with no drama. at this point, for battery powered on demand, I have no real complaints and I just hope it keeps doing what it's doing.

another similarity to mV: the Bowle is super easy to clean. you can keep it fairly pristine with just a regular ISO shake in the mouthpiece. screens get cloggy, just pop them out and ISO soak them. it comes with extra screens. no part of the puck itself ever needs to come in contact with any herbal material.
