Next Purchase MiniVAP or Tafée® Bowle

[Finessseee]

Bowlee or Minivap? I want one of these bad bois. They’re unique and the seemingly best of the best while also being underrated at the same time.. Thoughts / suggestions between the two?

They’re unique and the seemingly best of the best while also being underrated at the same time..

While both are solid performers from the reads , being best of the best requires more than good performance .
For example ,some people (material safety snobs ) are not comfortable with the PTFE(Teflon)and Silicone bowls(flexicones) in the Minivap or the Bowle issues with flaking paint inside the moutpiece and not so great batterylife.Also it is worth mentioning that there is hardly a best vaporizer out there,almost all compromise on smth, some more than others. It is down to a personal preference on what you are ready to compromise.

Basically, owning both of them, I would narrow it down to battery life vs. heat up time…

Can't go wrong with either unless portability is a top priority, which appears it isn't.

Can you expand on this more? I thought the Minivap was 100% safe medically tested device. What’s wrong with the PTFE and flexicones?

So the vapor that minivap produces is as cool as Tafee's? I am also interested in owning both.

The temperature level of the MV vapor depends very much on the used mouthpiece. None of stock solutions is comfortable to me while the Tafée Vapor is neither hot or harsh.
I believe I can get slightly bigger clouds out of a heat soaked MV if this matters to you.

Even with the Teflon core? I read that the Teflon is less harsh than the glass core

You might pair the MV to glass or a longer whip to achieve the coolness of the Tafée (and I don’t mean the coolness factor because of the drinking cup

As per forum rules, material safety is not to be discussed in model specific thread.
Here you can read about the use of PTFE in vaporizers

The use of PTFE

This is spill over from the Boundless Tera thread. I don't wish to start anything, but to learn and understand. How safe is PTFE when used it a vaporizer when used like below: From Eric@Boundless: After discussing with our manufacturer and expressing the concerns of the original heater, it was...

as for silicone , more than a few dislike the taste it leaves ,i am one of the sensitive ones, and dont want that stuf in the airpath, let alone load herb into,but yet again that is personal preference,tons of guys dont have problems using silicone whips with their vape.. You can PM if you like on further details.

Silicone Offgassing - Is it a Health Concern?

I just wanna know if the silicone tubing i'm using is going to hurt me i just bumped my 2010 silicone safety thread in the Vaporization Discussion section about spallation - not temperature driven.

The MiniVAP produces higher quality vapor but it is not as cool as the Tafee Bowle .

So, you may want to run the MiniVAP through a
glass J-hook or a Hydro tube etc.
