Do we know anything about the actual heating element here btw??
It's a metal coil.

Thanks! Steel or some fancy alloy perhaps?
Looks like they added the option to buy the Bowle without the cup or potter+ (plastic grinder) with either long or short stem set up... for only $299 instead of the full kit's $369 so that is a bit more palatable for me!
I just have to decide, if I really am okay to not get the glass with it, sure I could always get it in the future though, perhaps even in a different style when they have more options available... And yeah it is not necessary at all for the actual vape so I may not miss it anyway... Though I would also need to decide if I want long stem or short stem!
I'm gonna need a lid for this thing.
This thing is perfect for backyard shenanagins.
hahaha! I was wondering how long it was going to take. I have it in my cart but I want the long stem, however, the price is way too high right now. I am taking your thinking and staring at my cart. I would imagine, a cup with different lid fixtures that could even lead to wpa or something similar. I think your bet is spot on.Yeah I think they for sure will have a lid for the cups at some point, maybe even a design that is a full tapered bottle eventually?? That is another reason why buying now without the cup is appealing, to save money, but also knowing that I can always buy the cup later, especially if they come out with one later that I like even better! I see a lot of modular possibilities with this design... Just a puck and stems.
Edit to add: well fuck I just ordered short stem without the drinkware... You're all welcome in advance for my feedback!
Mines coming too! Long stem baby!
Uh, but, um, ah... ok...nevermind
Well, your photos got me to load up the cart again, but it was @Shit Snacks' lack of self-control that triggered my... lack of self-control and got me to click the button to make the purchase.Um, ok, but I was hoping for a little of the blame
Speaking of which... just how is the battery life? What are the visual cues that is getting low?Pissed at battery death mid session

Sooon sooooon my friend I will let you know!I'm drooling over this thing. Haven't had VAS in quite awhile so my VAS tolerance is low but I'm gonna stay strong until more demographics are available.
I real!y excited depending on Xmas mailings I may get today or tomorrow.........great review !A few more random comments. You see, this is why vape reviewers use a vape for a week or two, gather their thoughts and criticisms, and only then do they release a review. But I'm doing it my way, the stoner method
Think I'll bitch for a while
Battery life: "Pardon me miss, I'm ready to order now. I'd like a tall Bowle, with a large battery, no cup, please."
On prior page, I posted a battery run down trial. Got about 5 pots per charge, the way I was using it. Like the io, different draw duration methods and draw speed probably affect life
Gauge? Warning? Nope. It's up to you to check battery life. Before starting on that third pot...or was it the fourth? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself. You've got to ask yourself one question. "Do I feel lucky?" Well do ya, punk?
Press/hold both buttons for half a second, then release. LEDs turn dark blue and show battery life from 1 to 4 lights.
Lights: Um, with any dark drink, no way you're gonna see those lights. Must remove cup to check lights. To remove cup, I always remove stem, then pinch/hold that stem entry hole, then use other hand to pull up cup. Silicone seal around puck is the cup holding tech, simple and secure
Maybe a duplicate set of lights, on outer surface of Puck, closer to stem so you don't twist wrist turning to see lights. Or, there's a rather common and inexpensive tech called haptic feedback. What a concept. Like a single buzz when you tap fire button, and if battery getting low, a double buzz? And quick buzzes to match heat level number when cycling through choices?
Sometimes get confused if it's on or off. Noticed that it ends charging session in a standby state. Have habitually done the three press to wake, only to watch the LED dance in wrong direction, meaning I just put it to sleep. DOH! Lights indicate waking by flashing inner two, then outer. Back to sleep indication is outer two, then inner. Probably not explaining it well. Why doesn't this clown make a video?
You don't need to watch lights go from blue to green for that one second warmup, and then start draw. Can just tap fire button and start inhaling. But, don't be a distracted user. After lights turn ready green, it senses draw/no draw, and timeouts quickly, 3-4 seconds. Perhaps should just get in habit of tapping fire button and draw
Changing temps is very easy with its dedicated button, LEDs show your current heat level continually with a softly blinking light blue. Folks with sight disabilities, like color blindness, will not be happy campers. Do I need to dig up the haptic horse for another beating?
Bitching back to standby mode
I really do love this vape. So easy and cool, so quick and effective
Stop ! I’m already too excited! Glad you’re enjoying so much! Can’t wait!I will shut up soon
The Bowle is so well designed and built -- excuse the inevitable comparison, it's Apple-like
Try to put the cup out of your mind
This is a great f'ing vape
If anyone is going to over do it and cause a spill....it'll be the wife and I after the first session and half the nightly vodka and cranberry is gone. Could lose track of why the device is being lifted to my face.....might drink from the mouthpiece and inhale from the vodka/cranberryI keep getting an image in my mind of someone over-medicated spills the whole cup down their face.
$69 dollars for the bigger cup seems excessive to me.
It's $69 bucks for the glass and grinder = full kit $369 for both tall or small glass. They also added the plain option(just the vape) for both tall and small stems, $299.I keep getting an image in my mind of someone over-medicated spills the whole cup down their face.
