So this may sound like a stupid question but...
how does a 2 pc grinder work? Since theres no chamber for the weed to empty into, ddo you have to open it and flip both sides upside down to get all the weed out? Sounds kinda messy...?

Hi Nycdeisel where did you go what did you do why haven't you come back did you miss me what did you bring me?
Why did you do this and what effect does it have? Looks to me like it will change the airflow characteristics a bit.
PS Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite.

haha damn you guys dont forget anything!
I got brownies(non medicated) and some supreme ice cream
it does change the airflow and helps to insulate the heat a bit better. I was getting slightly hotter hits much easier with the screen and clip in place, it was a bit of a pain to fit in. just now hoping it doesnt come out, or worse go into the Box
I was very surprised how well each fit in the mouthpiece hole as well, it was so perfect! hoping that helps it stay in place
I also thought it would help cut down on irritation to my throat, because it filters out any particulates and also makes drawing it easier since it doesnt restrict the airflow too much, but just enough to make hitting it easier

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but... I've just gotten my hands on a LB over the past few days and I'd love to share my experiences coming to terms with this awesome (if temperamental!) little vape!
When I first got it, I thought it sucked. I thought it sucked hard. I was getting barely any visible vapour and when it did hit, it gave me harsh hits that sent me off on a coughing fit. I'm asthmatic and need to be careful, and I was bummed it seemed my asthma couldn't handle the LB's short vapour path. I tried water filtration but it was too cumbersome. I even combusted more than once as I just couldn't get the draw speed right. I thought it was more or less a novelty and was a bit disappointed. But then I stuck a half-foot of whip tuning on the end of the stem and that helped, and then I actually figured out how to hit it. Who'd have thought, but... now I love it and not only that - the V-Tower is retired and my LB is my new daily driver. I love it that much!
This is how I figured out how to get smooth hits with no irritation, and other asthmatics might like this technique if they find hits harsh. I fill the trench about halfway up (very fine of course and sprinkled in). More seems to take too long for the mass of herb to heat thoroughly and evenly. Then it's in with the battery and I give it a nice long blast of heat so the perspex is good and foggy. I inhale that pretty sharply to lower the temp (you can clearly see the vape slide up with whip tubing like a white oyster and it looks awesome), and then take my lips away and chase it with fresh air, keeping the battery in. As I'm breathing in the perspex fogs up again, then rinse and repeat for three or four hits until my lungs are full or it feels a bit tickly. Remove the battery and give a decent draw back to get the temp down. This way I'm inhaling loads of fresh air along with some concentrated vapour hits. Exhale, shake etc. The process continues, only the draws become progressively slower and longer as the herbs gets more cashed.
So it's more like a vapey grandad pipe, and you sit there sorta puffing at it like the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland rather than drawing it long and slow. This way I get zero discomfort even though I'm opening my lungs pretty wide and it gets the herb nice and hot which gets me high as a kite made entirely from panels of pressed weed. I also think the LB gives unprecedented user control over the temperature. Once you figure it out you can place the temp where you want it and adjust your technique based on your needs. This is another reason why the LB works for me.
Now finally, the design. I'm a huge fan of industrial design - military aircraft are a particular favourite. Now bear with me here
... but take the rotor assembly on a Blackhawk. No decoration, no bling, no bullcrap. It just flies. IMHO, consumer goods have lost this elegance and have become bloated, overfeatured, overengineered and prone to failure. The Launch Box is the real deal, design-wise. To me, and for many reasons, it's genuinely brilliant. It's simple with no moving parts and very few components, it's based on dependable, repeatable physical science so it just plain works, and having read many of the maker's posts, I'm satisfied they have consciously incorporated some pretty high theory (pun intended) in making the LB work so well, and so consistently. I'm particularly taken by the design of the vapour path and the fact the airflow rolls in a circle, distributing heat evenly and simply. I get that 'awesome gadget!' feeling every time I use my LB, and it's because it's such a brilliant piece of design. Well done.
I'm in love with my LB and vaping in general and the high can't be beat. And this is coming from a looooongtime bong smoker. I really admire the lifetime warranty but to be honest, if this thing breaks it'll be because I did something stupid and to my mind Magic Flight by that point will have well earned the price of admission and I'm happy to just buy another.
I'll keep the old one as a chain pendant or something. Thanks for such a brilliant device, Magic Flight, and cheers for reading!

StonedPony- nice to meet you. Love the videos. You remind me of somebody I once knew. Not to stray from the MFLB topic, but is your MFLB your utensil of choice on your bike? I'm thinking I would go through at least 4 batteries a day, depending on who all was riding with me. That's a lot of batteries on a road trip! Maybe I need a cigarette lighter on my bike after all!StonedPony said:

Just got my PA and I think it's DOA. It's plugged in and hooked up. I'm pressing the button on the end of the "battery" and the light inside my LB is not lighting up.
Any thoughts?
Edited to add: I've tried putting the rheostat wheel at different positions: all the way on low, all the way on high and in the middle.

Yah try pushing the battery all the way in and twisting it a couple of angles to see if anything lights

if you dont have a meter to test the PA try to use a light bulb out of a cheap flash light........a real light bulb from an AA flashlight........fix up a couple of wire to touch the PA and light bulb to see if it lights up.....its gehetto but will tell ya if you are getting any juice........next step is warrenty...........good luck.......Im the king of Jerry rigging LOL............take careslvelocity said:

Hey there guys.
I was just wondering if there is such thing as a MFLB container or travel case? One that can also hold the batteries on the top.
I find that when it's jingling my pocket, some of the herbs fall out and end up in my pocket. Also the battery case that it comes with is really flimsy and I only dropped it once and it's already broke.
I know it also comes with a travel pouch thing, but I'm looking for something that will protect my box and the batteries, all in one case.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks guys

For hard cases you could get a small pelican or an Otterbox.
For a soft case check out camera and electronics cases.
