So...I got it finally! Well, I got it on Sunday and had lots of time playing with it.
I don't recall even being able to use only 1 vaporizer all day without having to go to my desktop unit, but today, these portables can deliver !!!
I guess we can call it
my review for the Tafee Bowle.
Let me start by saying, this is a very special vaporizer and if you are can afford it, you should consider buying the Bowle.
Starting for the packaging, I really like it and it actually make sense to carry the Bowle inside this "Whiskey" box.
You can put it in your backpack or you briefcase quite easily, it is big but it like carrying an expensive bottle.
I do think the Bowle is extremely stealth, even in airports and you can classify it as an electric cup which would make sense.
The device itself feels much better than I expected, it has weight and I feel safe using it, not having to worry it will fall.
Everything about the design is nice and simple.
The plastic cup seems fine, I wonder if having it outside in the sun all day can cause issues.
The plastic cup came with a small black mark, its not a big deal but it is disappointing. I would have loved to add another cup in the box for this price but its fine honestly.
Regarding the potter, I would go into details later on.
So, I recorded a video to my friend and it was fortunately the first time I used the Bowle. I used it without the cup.
The first hit on temp 3 was empty, I tried the click and hold and it didn't work so I looked again at the manual and took a hit.
OMG, as I was taking the hit, I felt coolness in my throat, something I don't recall feeling for a long time.
I exhaled and said: "Wow. wow.wow.wow. TinyMight - **** OFF! "
That was the best dry hit I'd ever taken IMO, so good and tasty.
The 2nd hit was thick but not as tasty and harsher, felt more like using other vapes.
I haven't being able to reproduce another hit like the first one since then haha, so I guess this is something I will remember for a while
Using the Bowle in the cup does not feel as comfortable to inhale when you can't cover the whole mouthpiece with your mouth, but you get used to it.
Evenso, I would like to get a different mouthpiece with a crub or a 90degress angle at the tip of the stem so it would be easier to inhale.
Aside from that, it is simply, brilliant! having a cold drink really takes it to another level, after taking a hit you don't miss a sip, and with this sip you can avoid coughing, and that is gold. It is different from water cooling and I will have to try more and more before reaching a conclusion but as far as experience, this vape is just incredible.
I went to the studio to work on my new songs and I took the Bowle, it is interesting as I was debating if its a better fit or the TinyMight, and I think the Bowle was the right choice because I do need to drink and Bowle is a portable to be used in "stationary places". I would not take it to a bonfire in the desert like I would take the TinyMight or to a walk in the park, but to a friend or a studio or any meal it fits right in.
I have only used temp 3 and temp 4 once with herb+crumble inside, and I can say that ABV looks even, I guess this is why its so smooth, I think I over pack too much on TM which causes black marks, but I'm not sure it will happen here too.
When I tried temp 4 with the crumble I felt safer from combustion and enjoyed the hits very much, I am tempted to use keep doing so using the Bowle, but you can see some oil on the bottom of the stem. How can we clean it? I'm not sure we can soak it in ISO and not lose the color?
With all the enjoyments, it doesn't mean it does not have problems, I think the fire button is too sensitive? there are times, usually in the first hit I take that when I still clicking the LED turns blue again, I think it possible I lost a slight grip on the button but I never stopped holding. If I focus on my holding it will stay green.
Does it happen to others? can't it be fixed with a F/W update ?
Another issue I find is with the potter.
The potter is a cool idea but I usually not the guy who premakes 4 bowls, it is a cool idea but you can overflow and make a mess if you put too much pot. You'll have to be careful not to lose the herb that is left inside.
But the biggest issue with the potter and why I wanted to mention it, is that the parts don't "connect", there is no rail so it can't be "sealed" - that results with me already losing on pot because I tried to pick it up and the bottom part just fell on the floor and I still can't find it
its gone.
I wish the potter was better built? perhaps the metal one is better? I hope I can trade it...
I will have to buy a single pot, hopefully its available.
The last issue I only just realized is how am I suppose to use it with a coffee or any other non transparent drink? you can't see the LED! , I mean, if the fire button wasn't so sensitive then I would be OK, but since it is not, I cannot know if I'm taking a proper hit or not.
I did not try the click and release method, TBH, I would have preferred that the default it click and hold, but that's just nitpicking.
I cannot end this review in a negative vibe, because this is a very positive review on an amazing vaporizer with few issues that holds it from being a true masterpiece. Yep I said it, this is a masterpiece in potential.
Kudos!!!!!!!
. but then comes combustion
