I’ve been a Bowle 2 user for a few years and I can attest to the performance and quality of Tafee products. The Flaske looks to be exactly as powerful as the Bowle 2 but in a friendlier form factor.

Big excitement here!

Absolutely agree. From what I understand, their main engineer came from Storz & Bickel so it follows that their products would be quality and innovative.

Tafee has gotten a lot of flack about the aesthetics of the Bowle. It’s amazing how many people get triggered over an attached drinking vessel which doesn’t even have to be used. I’m so glad for the company that they provided a more aesthetic pleasing device to satisfy those still inside a traditional paradigm. Of course, the new demon will be the price of the Flaske. lol.

Agree completely. I think of the drinking glass as a quirky uniqueness, which is exactly why I am so enamored with Tafee Wares.

PS I didn’t know about the Storz engineer defection!

I’ve noticed that all of the International manufacturers take great care to avoid any association with Cannabis. They don’t use the word flower, instead opting for herb or plant material. It’s obviously a legal liability precaution, but it still sounds artificial and stilted to me.

I personally like anything different from the norm. As Rush sings, ā€œyou gotta deviate from the norm.ā€ My main concern is always performance and vape quality. I could put up with the weirdest looking equipment if it provides state of the art performance.

Even the Flaske has a unique twist on a traditional look. The pot storage capability within the unit is unique. I only know of one other device that you can pull out a pre-filled unused pod from the unit itself.

The two negatives will be the price and the ā€œremovableā€ not ā€œswappableā€ battery. Assuming performance matches the Bowle 2, these 2 will be the biggest gripes you’ll see on forums.

The U.S. changed the verbiage in the last few years which is why S&B pulled their ā€œconcentrateā€ dosing caps to prevent U.S. Customs from rejecting them.

Yes, well said. Which is the other device that has internal storage for dosing pots/capsules? Also, do you know what battery is used in the Flaske? 21700??

Yeson 2.

Tafee Flaske will use a 21700 battery.

The weight is killing me. I have my email open, waiting for the push notification that lets me know my flask has been shipped today.

Me too! They ā€˜sold out’ at 880 units! Nice two bonuses and 7 pots included!

I am not comparing vapes. I talking about pricing. US cost vs Canadian cost. Arizer’s prices in The US and in Canada are sometimes the same or at least close to the same.

This may create a little VAS on me, but, seeing that it reaches 260C… has anyone tried it with traditional hash? :new_moon_face:

I have not but you’ve got me thinking about it :slightly_smiling_face:.

The top-down heater and easy to clean bowl should make it easier to use for hash. I’ve been using the bottom of a capsule as a liner which adds some conduction too so that should help as convection-biased devices tend to struggle with hash. I’ll let you know if I try it soon.

I have. It works better with crumble, kief, or live rosin, but I’ve put hash in the bowle 2, cranked temp up to max, and vaped some with flower. Effective. My go to is still a banger and torch for hash but the Bowle will work. Analog vapes work best with hash, imo.

I’ve tried and it works ok but I’m just getting tired of hash in convection devices in general. It’s a lot more effort to extract versus conduction and you absolutely have to have as long of draws as possible. I only tried a few times and then I bought a vapman (and now a BAKx).

This is one place where I am going to totally ignore Tafee… I cannot fathom how it could only be ā€œreplaceableā€ versus hot swappable. The materials, contacts, etc should be top quality considering the brand, and it just makes no sense why they say it shouldn’t be swapped as needed.

The only thing I could come up with is their software maybe doesn’t like repeated full power loss and can be corrupted or something? But that wouldn’t be the case or they wouldn’t offer a user replaceable battery in general.

Plus I will never charge a 21700 battery using an on board chip in a device. My XTAR Dragon and other chargers are no doubt way better than charging through the device.

I’ll continue swapping batteries as I do with my flashlights and every other 21700 or 18650 device with removable cells.

This exactly reflects my thinking as to battery usage in the Flaske.

There seems a strong effort by Tafee to shift battery usage ā€œparadigmā€? They never really explain their thinking except to say it’s a safety issue. They have stated the battery they include is ā€œtunedā€ for the Flaske? Any 21700 of proper stats(mah & draw) should work just fine.

Early on I thought perhaps they were trying to avoid heat production within the vape, as the vape would cool down in the 20 minute period of charging/topping off the battery? I am still unsure why they are so adamantly against hot swapping?

Yeah probably a good conversation for its own topic but when it comes to the well known high performance 21700 cells the actual real world performance difference is like less than 1% at the most extreme.

As long as the battery used has the performance headroom it will provide whatever power the Flaske requires. I’ll be using Tenpower 50XG for now and want to pick up the RS60 once it’s out because my gosh that looks a nice cell and has almost 20% more capacity than the competitors!

They renamed that product to ā€œdosing capsule filling padsā€.
