Tafée Bowle

[RxPlorer]

I like the TB. I use mine frequently. I don’t have a problem with the battery, and I like the cup. But I think it’s not really aimed at the type of enthusiast who frequents this board, as evinced by the total befuddlement of so many members here. “Who wants a CUP on a vape? Why can’t I hook it up to a bong? The battery won’t support 50 bowls a day!” I’ve been using vaporizers for a couple years now I think, and I continue to be surprised at what crappy customer service people in this space are willing to accept in the name of “innovation.” The Tinymight, which I own and like, had abysmal customer service for a long time. Waits of over a month to get the device were common. Members bent over backwards to handwave CS which would have been completely unacceptable elsewhere. But “bitchin’ vape, dude” and you could run it through water. TM could have sold even more units if they’d planned for good CS from the get go. Now we act like they’re geniuses because they’ve got shipping down to a week. The product is not the entire business.
And this is the thing. We are not Tafees market. Tafee, I think, is trying to expand the market beyond hobbyists. Weed is slowly becoming legal in many places in the US. There’s an enormous potential market out there, and many of those people are just going to want something they can take a couple hits off in the evening. If there’s also a cold drink in it, all the better. It’s a weed koozie. They’re not going to get VAS, they’re not going to obsess over hooking up a bong and a whip. Rightly or wrongly, they associate that sort of thing with stoner hippies. That market is not as big as we think it is, and it’s already showing signs of saturation. I think Tafee is trying to become the Apple of vaporizers, a simple, easy to use device that gets people medicated without endless modding and dicking around with it. The things that many people here complain about with regards to the TB would be features, not bugs for the majority of people.

I agree completely with this sentiment. TB is exactly what I hoped to find when I first started as a medical user. Now that I have a working TB (it took 3 replacements to get here) I find myself checking other threads less and less often. And I only switch to my TM for road use. Tafée is focused on a completely different set of customers than most industry players have targeted. Those who “don’t get it” remind of the Windows Mobile nerds back in the day that just “didn’t get” the iPhone.

I think you made a typo, you don't mean the vape critic do you? Anyway below is VF's full rant, which obviously @m0sh read as he chose to respond to one of his questions here, instead of continuing off topic in the thread it was posted in??

My post was responding to someone who liked TB better than TM, in a TM thread. I asked a TM vs TB question in a TM thread and was told it was wrong. I only wanted to get that member's point of view regarding his/ her stated preference.

So when my question was brought here, I see it equally as wrong as posting on TM thread. Why you see it as off topic there, but not here escapes me?

Regardless, I'm staying away from this topic. Besides respecting the rules, I've gotten quite accustomed to Vape hubris/ego lol during my time here. Not my thing.

I don't think I said anything about your post over there at all, so I don't know what you're talking about, but I posted it here because someone else was talking about it, two other people, and then I went back there to reread it, and I felt like it was relevant here... I'm sorry if it upsets you to have your post quoted here... I believe I was following the rules as well? Happy to remove it if you like!

Edit: misunderstood, I found it to be off topic for the TM thread because it was a long list of problems with the TB?? It became on topic here especially because someone chose to respond to it, and someone else said that they should respond to the whole thing, so I brought the whole thing here... Like the relevance here seems very apparent to me, but again I'm happy to remove the quote if you would like, please let me know!

It's not about money ... 20-30 sessions per day is about what makes sense for me (.1g sessions is 2-3g per day ... definitely a heavier user, but I know and have known much heavier ... )

Trying to conserve so that I only go through 1-2g per day (instead of 2-3), causes me WAY more anxiety and other issues that it's just not worth it to save a few thousand a year.

I don't have issues by the way with the battery capacity for regular usage. The TB has no problems doing 20-30 bowls per day if you are around a charger, and I haven't had it run out of juice while I wanted it yet.

And the reality is, this won't be my only vape, so I'm sure the battery will be good for many years; and if it only lasted 2 years as my main vape, I wouldn't be overly upset with that, seems reasonable, and I hope (and would guess), that Tafee will offer a battery replacement service.

And I still don't believe that someone loads their bowle 5 times or even 7 times a day for 30 bowls

Sorry mate, I just don't see the logic.
I have used your question to express my feelings on this device. It is true that you wrote it as an off topic on another thread.
You asked a general question and I thought that its just a good idea to start my post with it, not trying to hurt you or do any harm, which it sure looks like it did.
I can go back and edit the post, remove your name and just write why I like it.
My whole post is positive and as does not make you look bad.
Its odd, because it feels like some did not bother reading my post, where I express my love to a device that has changed my POV, which other vapes did not. That's all I wanted to say.

Peace and love.

Great mate
Well it was mostly done for everybody who doesn't own it or doesn't understand it

I sent that Bowle to Bud, so it's my fault he opened it. Think he was curious because it worked so well. Funny watching him get pissed off in vid, surprised how good it was. He took down vid, though

Stock Bowle pot screen at left, cheap amazon 200/box in middle, cheap amazon extra fine on right

This box of 200 half inch screens are a good match for the stock screen:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QF5TLZV

Think I have enough?

Thanks!!! Had to pay an additional 10 bucks for shipping, but the way I see it, 200 will be enough for a lifetime so I don't mind paying.

Haven't had a Bowle this morning yet, but have had 5 dabs and it's 6am (decided to get up at 5 since I couldn't sleep). Going to see if I can get an hour more of sleep now!

This pre-mature waking happens to me all the time,it is way harder to get back to sleep then at night,cause serotonin levels has risen up with the dawn,while at night the build up breaks into melatonin and it is way easier.
Btw people dont take in account the quality and variety of herb people are using. For example there are 3-4% CBD strains and potency-wise 6g x 5% = 1 x 30% .Potency varies with dabs too.
It is hardly an exact science trying to measure everyone by using yourself or people you know as a standard. Worlds gets more connected in online communities with the people of their liking and often critics and people with different viewpoint are in a way easily excluded,so it is easy to fell into a statistical bubble, we joke about with a couple of buddies by saying that someone became the Institute of Standards .

Who gives a fuck- you do not have to defend your usage here!

.. kinda a childish topic.

I have been up for an hour and have been cracking it every 5 minutes or so and I don't get it either.

Nobody made a big topic of this except you now, although everything has already been said! and nobody cares how much someone consumes
it's ONLY about that I don't believe that anyone loads his Bowle 7 or even 8 times a day to get 30 sessions with it
no matter, I won't say anything more to this
Edit: 8 x loading is 8 hours

Edit 2:
for me this is child shit now. I don't feel like it and prefer to go for a few days LOOOOL

 

[ChooChooCharlie]

I use outlet timer, usually press the 15min timer button. My unreasonable goal is to avoid full topping off charges (what some call battery "loads")

Could vape a pot every 20 minutes, not that I want or need to. However, it would make for a good challenge of the Bowle's resilience, and my own

 

[FlyingLow]

It is more than possible, and your trying to "disprove" him is fucking petty and childish.

Your attempt at proving a point only makes you look ignorant.

That many chambers is easily feasible:
-charge between bowls
-don't drain the battery down

JCat also does much smaller loads, only 0.1 per chamber, requiring MUCH less battery than a full chamber.


Your continued implication that JCat is being anything less than truthful is ignorant, without backing, and insulting.

don't you have any hobbies other than meddling and insulting ? you are the child. laughable. 8 hours

Edit: your chatter doesn’t mean anything. I only get 3 sessions with 0.1 g and i wa sspeaking from fully battery loads, all others is chatter und not measurable

I'm finding spider web cracks on my hand washed cup. this soon?
High price + junk cup + a battery that won't vape all 5 pots provided on one charge = pass

It's a great vape but the short comings are there. This is not the perfect vape.

I prefer my TM. But it's still in my top 5

The perfect vape? You mean to tell me they found a cure for VAS and I haven't heard about it or been offered my first dose? How rude!

I only believe in the perfect vape for me, for a specific circumstance. Truth is, none of them do everything perfect, but we're inching closer from the feel of it.

I've been going back and forth between my TM and TB for the last week (when I got both replacement units within a few days of each other). They both really shine in different ways. From my use, the TM is more of a demolition tool, hits hard and does the dirty work. The TB is more of a finesse type tool, less powerful, but more agile.

I really like and appreciate both for what they bring to the table.

As for the cracks in the cup, that's sad. I was really starting to enjoy using the cup when I heard/read that they don't condone alcohol.... it's been sitting off to the side since.

I was also not excited to see a refurbished unit with visible wear show up as my RMA unit. The unit sent in was immaculate. With the battery not being replaceable, my OCD hated the wear I didn't put on it, but thought more about how much or how the battery had been used before I saw it. I'd feel better if they announced that battery replacement was going to be an option.

I'm with you, Top 5 in my options, but not perfect. But it sure can deliver a nice hit!

Just as there is no one car that satisfies all drivers, there is no one universal vape that will satisfy all users. For me, vape use is situational. I like some vapes for travel, some for home, some for walk-abouts, etc. The most important thing is to find a vape that is best for you. This week I'm visiting SoCal and I brought my TB, my Yocan UNI PRO, and my Yocan Evolve, plus some homemade tincture. I had my friend stop off at a Med Man for those new Kin strips. I'm literally loaded.

Damn! Sorry to hear that....are you going to try customer service?
Glad I decided to stop using the cup unless we have company. After all the anticipation ... If I didn't have a working cup for that first post covid vaccination get together I'd probably lose my mind.

Being stuck in the house for close to a year with the same woman I've been married to for over 3 decades may have made me more.....susceptible.

I'll have had my Bowle 9 weeks this Wednesday and have almost used it once daily or more other than t breaks and a little time with my tinymight and a j-hook. Mornings are when I most frequently use it, with a big fat bowl of cbd topped with just a few flakes of thc. Love slowly temp stepping my way through, taking at least 3 full timer hits per heat setting including level 4 (yes that is right I like those toasty hits) or a ton of smaller ones. In the past I've said I don't like the Bowle for middle of the night wake ups but I've changed my tune, been enjoying a Bowle bowl topped with live resin and loving it!!!! Between my Bowle , tinymight , and weedeater , a bowl of herb topped with the live resin, my favorite is the Bowle hands down and this is why, I tend to run the tinymight and weedeater hotter than the Bowle max temp, why is that relevant? Coughing! With the built-in timer it's much more difficult to push the hit to far. I also found with the Bowle the tickle I get in my throat doesn't get as uncomfortable as quickly as my other vapes. The gentler nature of the Bowle make these hits go smoother which is very much what I want for a middle of the night session, a bunch of coughing would wake me up to much so I really appreciate the Bowle.

Just past 16 weeks with mine, got my purple non-sobriety chip. Jealous of T & J with their bronze

When clumsy, I knock over standing stem when waiting for pot to cool. Loud. Instinctive feeling of dread, must have broken something. Nope

Only things shattered are my nerves
