Gotcha so basically.. I need to reset it and let it sit there plugged in until it eventually turns back on in an hour?

Yeah I pissed on the rug...... so what
you might also have a bad usb that is failing, happened to my second unit. next time you plug it in and it doesn't show charging put a little sideways pressure on the usb while its plugged in and see if the lights come on at all when you do, if it does light up putting pressure on it you definitely have a bad usb

BAD DOG YOU ARE A LEGEND. This is what’s wrong! I pushed it in a bit and it’s now fully charging wow. I’m glad this is the issue and not a device problem! So should I hit up Vaporific (who I bought it from) or Tafée Bowle themselves about this?

if it is the usb unfortunately it will only get worse till it won't charge without sideways pressure. nothing to do but reach out to tafee and start a warrantee claim. they will send you return shipping labels to send them your puck only, once they confirm the defect they will send a new puck.
edit: I do recommend to keep using it for the next little while to see how frequent its happening, you might want to wait till its starts to fail a bit more before contacting tafee because you definitely do not want to go through the bother of a return if the defect is not more prominent so there is no risk tafee will miss it in their inspection. you don't want them sending you it back saying it was working for them

Interesting so it’s definitely the USB port itself and not the cord? Because I messed around with the cord and it fixed it. Wondering if it’s the cord itself or the USB port itself.. thanks for the feedback man you’re a massive help

Will do. Really hoping it’s just the cord itself, but if it’s the port itself then I guess I’ll have to submit an RMA… (I’ll report back in a couple weeks!)

Yeah they say not to use alternative micro usb cords.. but if there was one that matched it’s exact metrics would it actually matter?you could try to buy a new cord and see if that fixes the issue but you have to make sure its the right kind and I'm not exactly sure what its rating is?? little help tafee thread???

Gotcha I’ll check it out. Might have to submit an RMA.. I feel like it’s the puck itself. Already getting difficult to charge it. How long did the RMA take for your Bowle? I took a video of the issue
Bad Dog
Yeah I pissed on the rug...... so what
that looks exactly what happened to mine and it was the usb. took about a week maybe a little longer between mailing via Fedex, their inspection and receiving my new puck but I'm in Canada and the same Provence as tafee so you might expect maybe two weeks being in the US. send them the link for the video in your email for RMA request. sorry you got a bum unit dude but tafee will take care of you, but understandably the down time and barely getting to use it is a major bummer 
my first bowle was also a dud from the get go, than it took over a year before the usb suddenly failed on my replacement so now I'm on my third so I'm glad I have 3 years of warrantee left.

Vaporific has some really solid customer service so shoutout to them! They’ve been helping me troubleshoot the issue. Looks like an RMA might be the only solution, just gotta wait on Tafee to respond.

I’m not too worried about it. The Bowle itself is incredible and other than battery life it’s easily the cleanest hitting vapor I’ve ever experienced. 428F through water on my Solo II makes me cough while 465F through my Bowle dry feels super smooth. It just feels like healthier vapor quality than other vapes I’ve tried in the past.

My stoner's wish for Bowle:
One press start, one press stop
Longer time out period, maybe 5 seconds
(currently too sensitive to draw variations)
Cool down vapor clear draw after second press
No need for press and hold functionality
Should be an easy firmware fix
If that fix is not possible, I'd like a suction pump implant in my lungs, for more machine like steady draws, a kickstarter perhaps

Curious, have you tried pushing both buttons at the same time to end the auto fire hit the way I do and have said before here? It is basically the same as tapping the button again although not quite as convenient

Looks like they’re sending me out a new puck and I’ll be returning my malfunctioned one back in the mail. Shoutout to Tafees prompt Customer Service. Solved my problem in less than 24 hours. Thanks for your help as well mate.

Has it been covered before, that the potter the TB comes with, has different sized o-rings on the ceramic pots than the o-rings on the upgraded metal potter?

Do you notice any discernible differences in performance/seal?

I didn't even realize there were different sizes until I had to remove all of them when I soaked the pots in ISO to clean them. I'm using my Omni only for a bit to see how livable it is, but once I get back to the (now) squeaky clean Tafee Bowle, i'll do a side by side comparo.
Does anyone know if a v2 is coming out? This thing is pretty genius.
Anyone got cleaning tips for tafee?
And share any tips i might have missed in the 144 pages!
How long does a full charge last you??
What are the settings for auto fire and out of auto?
Cheers!

wouldn't expect a V2 anytime soon. they are planing on releasing a updated version with usbc and the was talk of a medical version to plus accessories like a wpa and glass cup but no dates from tafee in some time since they didn't hit any of the estimates earlier.
don't use hot iso or hot water to clean it, can cause the finish to peel.
every one uses it different, there is NO way to tell you how long your battery will last, I get 2 bowls with lots of temp stepping and full timer hits
