Tafée Bowle

[Happy days]

I think it is Bruno, the creator, who deserves the most, in terms if praise.
Not sure if George is a partner, or if he is the Staff?

I am a long-time lurker here. I missed out on the V1 and got a TinyMight. But take my hat to team Tafee and Bruno on the release of the V2. It’s eclipsed all my other vapes. Amazing. Grab one when available is my advice. S

I'm extremely disappointed with the first version, as it was unstable and ultimately stopped working after two replacements. I won't be trying this new version. I wasted money (device + shipping to canada for warranty 2x times) and didn't appreciate being some sort of a beta tester. Hope for the new buyers that the v2 will be more durable....

Oh my gosh...I think I said George in the email...what an idiot am I...my apologies.

He should be selling those shirts!

Great video...he seems like a really nice chap...and the polo shirt is excellent. I cannot take my hands off my Bowle. It is truly a superb experience. Top 3 now. I still love my Vapman's...anyway, I sent Bruno an email regarding replacement cups for the Bowle 2...will see what he says!

 

[Dr. G]

Greetings Everyone, I received a super nice letter from the Staff at Tafee and also, A HEADS UP the replacement cups are on the site now if you want to order for the BOWLE 2...take care everyone and cheers!

 

[Dr. G]

Greetings and sorry double post but, no edit button. I am safe to post...again. I received an email regarding a question I had...HEADS UP this summer they are selling the GLASSWARE! for the Bowle 2...amazing news. I cannot wait. Thought you might want that new news.

Readers here know I've had a love affair with the Bowle from the start, posted quite a few glamour pics displaying my affection.
For transparency and honesty, I'm passing along my tale of woe. My series 2 died. No more heat, just times out after ten sec. Wrote to Tafee, they sent me a return mailing label. Mine was S/N 001, and they said a few of the early units had a fault. Hey, it happened to me as an early Venty buyer too. I have the new-thing-on-the-block RMA blues. To add insult to injury, tried my 4 year old Bowle, and it's dead too, won't take a charge

Gosh that is terrible...sorry to hear that. You will have your Bowle back in no time...sucks. Good luck to you.

Sorry to hear this double whammy.
I'm curious about your return label. The offer, for me in the past, has been that they'd send me a label at my expense ($35-40).
I would hope that for early rma's they might spring for the shipping back to them?

I have the same issue as ChooChooCharlie ( no heat after 4 blissful days use).

As I purchased my Bowle II through Vapefiend (i'm in the UK) I RMA'd my unit to them and they are handling all shipping costs.

My Updated Bowle II is on its way back to them as we speak so fingers crossed I will be sipping and ripping sometime next week.

I’m pretty sure you can get your Bowle v1 working again. I had the same issue when I left my Bowle without a charge for a few months. You have to plug it in and try the reset process a few times. After it should start to take a charge. Good luck!

 

[Dr. G]

This will come in handy this summer. Wonderful vape. It was so worth the wait. Every second.

Can you refresh my memory on reset process?
Love my V1 , like to get it going again!
Thanks

@MinnBobber -- Reset is 5 rapid simultaneous presses of both buttons

I think you are correct about the free return mailing label they gave me, since it was so new. And, they seemed aware of the problem from my brief description. Here's to hoping it's limited to just a few early units. I'm pretty sure they would not provide a free return label for a older non-functioning version 1, even if it was still under warranty

Thanks for the encouraging words for my elderly Bowle, it was a faithful DD for years

No luck with the reset/extended plugging resurrection attempts

How does Bones know my name?

When I sent my Bowle 2 SN 019 back to Tafee for service they paid shipping both ways. I live in New Jersey and bought it from them directly. After a couple weeks it would consistently shut off at the 11-12 second mark, know matter how I inhaled. They fixed the problem quickly and got it performing even better. In the last week I haven't even looked at my Tinymight 2. That said, I'm sorry to hear about other people having trouble as I did. Hopefully you will be taken care of as well as I was.

They have excellent customer service. I have experienced their excellent treatment. I am so happy you got your Bowle fixed. I just recently brought my TM 2 out because I got the new wood one...but, since I have gotten my Bowle 2...that is the only thing I am using. The simplicity, the taste, is unremarkable.

 

[Dr. G]

Greetings, I just received a package from Tafee Technologies...and I had ordered an additional cup. I just want to say that included in the box were some gifts. The generosity of this company and the customer service is superb. I have nothing but, praise. Praise, praise, praise...thank you kindly.

Big smiles over here too. Got the same experience of service recently from a repaired bowle 2 that experienced similar problems out the gate. I’m praying it stays consistent like this. I’m loving it and might need a back up now. It’s that good. One odd thing I noticed was that my stem leaks oil more easily at the seams compared to my older stems and I don’t feel I’ve put that many bowls through this yet. Why could this be?

Have you tried tightening the torx screw under the stem?

 

[SpacelyJetson]

Still savoring the flavor!

Do you mean reclaim is building up inside the stem faster than before, or do you actually have resin seeping through to the exterior of the stem?

 

[Dr. G]

Using Bowle everyday and still remarkable...what we need I think...just my experience with the Bowle. I need a tote to transport it. I suggested this in an email...a traveling bag.

Had an email yesterday from vapefiend telling me tafee has sent them new updated puck bases with more reliable heaters (I had noticed a drop in performance and early heater cut out was just looking at resetting it as the email came through). Asked me to send mine back to be sent out one of these replacements.

Is this something that is happening to everyone or is this just a particular incident?
