I got the Elf Bottler, as expected it works just like the Bunny Zapper from the Easter 2014 Event and is useful for clearing out hidden Elves, especially if you have a lot of Elves after having been gone for hours. I wish it just captured all the Elves in town, or at least all of them in the area you have on screen, or at least a larger radius to zap and bottle them. I have used it a few times and it is useful, just not what I was hoping for, well, make that dreaming for.

I kept count while visiting neighbors, it starts at 5/10 Elf Bells for 30 taps/friend actions, but unlike the first time it then dropped to 3/6 Elf Bells for some reason. It stayed there for another 30 taps then dropped to 2/4, then 1/2, and finally stopped getting Elf Bells, and it was 30 taps / Friend Actions for each value. I tried tapping on other buildings with Bell Icons, to see if any have double Elf Bells, but it's only the Elf Cave and Elf Cannon, they can be tapped on as long as they've been cleared (no need to wait for the Elf Cave to be "Ready" like other buildings) and when collecting on buildings that have been tapped on by visiting neighbors (those with the Handshake Icon) only the Elf Cave and Elf Cannon give Elf Bells in addition to Cash and XP, 5 Elf Bells each. The fact that your neighbors get Elf Bells when you tap on their Elf Cave and Elf Cannon is making me reconsider whether to tap on them once I stop getting Bells. Leaving them alone allows another neighbor who is doing their rounds to get Double Elf Bells, but if it's someone that I know plays frequently then I'm tempted to tap on them and give my neighbors more Elf Bells and expect that they will clear them soon so that others can tap them for Double Elf Bells.

I know I play frequently and have gotten a lot of extra Elf Bells just by clearing my Elf Cave and Elf Cannon and seeing Handshake Icons over them again just a minute or two later. I tried tapping on the Cannon Control Building when my neighbors had one and I got a small pop-up with the current level of their Elf Cannon (mine is at Level 10 right now).

BTW, any idea how many Elves we can have in town at once? I tried finding out a few days ago and couldn't find it, I'll check again but thought I'd ask in case someone knows or knows what page that information is on (I'm hoping it's big, like 50 Elves or so, part of me suspects it may be the number of Elves you had working at your Toy Workshop).
