It’s almost a week since I received the vape. I received the 400ml glass and the plastic potter with 5 pots, not the metal grinder/potter but I was late for the deal by a couple of days and I shouldn’t even have gotten the cup. If anybody is ordering from EU it’s a wise choice not to bother importing from Canada and go with vapefiend instead.
Exchange rate €/£ for the complete set is around 360€, while getting it from the maker is now €370 with custom duties on top of it, since the 299$ deal is now over.
I tried asking Tafée to send it to me with Canada post but it’s not in their interest sending it with snail mail and risk of having it lost, so they used FedEx and everything summed up I paid 20€ more than if I ordered from Vapefiend. Now, there’s a chance of having to pay for custom duties also when ordering from UK, but ime, if something from US or Canada gets shipped to EU with Ups, FedEx or DHL the chance of having to pay for customs is 100%. With national posts I hardly ever paid any custom taxes.
I read the short manual multiple times, the longer online version a couple of times, I read the whole thread while in the making and IIRC there were two ways to operate? One keeping the button pressed and one pressing it shortly to activate the vape?
It seems tome the only way to produce vapor is to keep the big button pressed, lights become green and if I’m inhaling steady enough, the breath sensor makes the vape light to reamain at vaping temperature for a good 10/15/20 seconds. I have pretty big lungs and could reach 30 seconds but the lights turn to blue all the times. Not a big issue since vapor on exhale is pretty much wasted and having shorter draws is the wiser choice to be conservative with medicine.
I still have to dial in and seems to me it’s better to go with small loads, with a full pot I get light hotspots and a darker color on top of the load after the extraction.
The thing that I like the most is the vape being so fast to reach vaping temperature, faster than a Tinymight, without the risk of scorching the load as it can happen with the Tinymight. You can get unpleasant flavor at temp 4 but it’s stated in the manual that’s for concentrates. Otherwise the flavor is on par with the Tinymight or the Evo, with no chance of combusting as a bonus.
I’m not using the cup at the moment but I like the stealthy it can provide if needed.
Battery life may be better but I’m just on my third charge and I’m quite a lightweight, if I’m not suffering from pain too much I tend to limit myself to take just one long draw with any vape and that’s my session. I was already following their guidelines as soon as I became accustomed with on demand vapes.
I hope this vape to gain popularity because it’s all I ever asked from a vape since I tried my first on demand vape.
It only has a cup and a different shape than what you’d have expected.
I’m glad I got it now because I think that with such a stagnant industry, such scarcity of new good medicinal vapes around (apart of artisanal ones), it may be now or never, and a Bowle 2 is not to be taken for granted. I’d love to be wrong.
