Tafée Bowle

How well has that worked in practice?

It is cumbersome, a little awkward with my j or u hooks, since Bowle is inverted, or horizontal at best. A two handed operation, for sure, including pinching the silicone. And the whole way the pot/srem clicks into place, well that's not well suited to acrobatics.
But, some huge hits, finish a pot in 2 or 3 hits, etc.

I was thinking extending the air path from the stem which already restricts a good amount would lead to less efficient sessions because it would increase the amount of suction force required to net the same effect as if you use the stem on its own.

Could use a stubby stem for less length?

Removing the std mp opens up airfow, and the hopper silicone doesn't restrict much...
As I said, stem on its own is just fine w me!

Or you can (gasp) put the cup on and fill it with ice water, which will cool the stem, and thus the vapor. I find these “why can’t I turn this into a regular vape” machinations amusing. You can, just not that way.

It would be a dribble cup for me, since I usually use no silicone mouthpiece at all, and I'm prone to tipping the Bowle toward myself!

I'm not trying to make it into a regular vape, whatever that may be. Just exploring easy enhancement options, as with every other vape I've owned.

Sticking the hopper condom onto the stem isn't much of a machination...and as I mentioned, not worth the effort anyway -- so we actually agree on that part!
