Thanks for the quick reply but this is the link I already had. I wanted to order the batt caps, but it was $5.15 for two caps that sell for .85. Tried ebay, amazon and google, with no other results, so any help in this area would be appreciated!

just posting to add to the long list of nice things ive had to say about MF.
i was wakling up the stairs and trying to juggle a bottle of soda, a plate of food, launchbox, phone and a napkin without making more than 1 trip (sound familiar? lol) well i was lucky enough that the only thing to fall was my box and unfortunately i stepped on it crippling the lid.
emailed MF immediately and got a quick response the next day. In under 10 days I got my replacement.
This thing runs way hotter than my old box. I am going to have to modify my technique. The box I stepped on was from a couple years ago. I enjoy all of the modifications that the team has added. The pushback ring is a welcome addition for sure.
Kudos to you magic flight on a great product and great service. They are hands down the best company I have ever worked with and I will keep my box forever regardless of if I continue with MJ.

Black stuff on edges of MFLB (merged)
My mflb looks like so
http://i.imgur.com/6seNG.jpg
I understand discoloration is normal, but is the black stuff?
do I need to clean it?
and if so, would this method do the trick?

Something does not look right there... mold maybe? im not sure because ive never seen such a buildup like that from vapor condensate. Def try cleaning it like JDsupreme does in that video. first clean it with the iso then burn it off by holding the battery in like shown. You might might want to repeat the entire process over again to get it all out. and leave the lid open afterwards for a while to let it dry completely.

You box is fine. Try some more brushing. Then gently iso clean it like in the video. Only pure carbon from combusting can survive the iso cleaning, but the black stuff in your box only looks like overcooked herb, so it should do the trick. Be exceptionaly gentle at cleaning rails. I know most of that black stuff collects there, but also tears are most likely to develop there.

I would have to agree with Seek; the box is fine, just really gunked up. You may need to repeat the cleaning process a couple times before it gets clean. Just be gentle with the screen and it should be fine. And, in the future, do a cleaning cycle with your batteries every few trenches so that it doesn't build up like that.

That is residue, almost a hash like substance. That's why I never let herbs touch the rods, I learned this from my first box. The resin will condense on the rods.
Take it slow on the cleaning, let the alcohol do the work, not too much pressure. First, get a Qtip and saturate the resin, let it sit 30 seconds, then saturate again, now wait 5 minutes. Now take that same Qtip and GENTLY wipe over the area with long strokes 'til the Qtip is brown, repeat until you can see the metal.
When you're done, apply some battery to evaporate the iso.
As I said before, the way to avoid this is to never let the herbs touch the rod area(especially when vaping) and brush lightly after each time you dump a trench. My current box is a little over a year old, and you can see the shiny weld on the rods, looks practically brand new, and it's used 24/7.

Yeah dude, it needs a clean.
Looks just like mine.
I think MFLB have said that even with the resin build-up you can still use the box normally and still get good hits.
But I figure if the heating rods are insulated by resin, then the temp may not be high enough to vape all the herb.
So when it gets like yours, I clean it.
Iso is just perfect for the job.
So it's important you get that, as opposed to anything petroleum-based.
The resin simply dissolves. Which is why Iso is used as paintbrush cleaners.
I use the brush that came with the mflb kit.
That way the brush has a dual purpose and I don't have to get q tips.
But I always try to be careful around the rods to avoid tearing the screen, like Seek says.
If I recall, someone once said they use rum (40% alcohol) and then collect the resin somehow as they clean it.
Then they have a rum and resin cocktail!
I think its an urban myth though, TBH!!!
The box will need mineral oil polishing every now and then (which I don't have).
People say extra virgin olive oil is not good as it may go rancid.
So I got some coconut oil (I think you can use it for edibles too cos of the high fat content), but I can't get the blasted thing out of the bottle!
So it's just been sitting in the back of my food cupboard.
I'll be applying ordinary olive oil to it.
The polish should make it water and stain resistant for a while.

True, but they can be less tasty, or stinky.Vapemeister said:
I don't agree with this. If it's insulator, paralel connection like this doesn't affect it's electrical properties. Only if you put conductive material in the box (which resin isn't) you can make short and it will heat more (too much). For heating less, you have to rip the screen off partialy which also destroys the box. Insulation does nothing.Vapemeister said:
I have never used oil but 91% ISO will get it right off. Vapemeister is right, use a qtip to dab the ISO along the trench - dont be shy either, its going to take a bit. Then I actually use a toddler tooth brush - extremely soft bristles with a light stroke and you will see that black shit start to dislodge fromthe screen. Rum - the myth - wouldnt work because rum has sugar in it, sugar caramelizes with heat like when cooking with alcohol so it would IMO destroy a vaporizer. Plus 40% isnt enough to break down resin - hence why we shoot for 91%. Good luck with the cleaning, dont worry too much - your baby will be fine!

Rum has sugar in it? Maybe there, but here it's a distilled spirit. Solids, like sugar, don't distill which is of course why we distill in the first place (to remove them). Some 'rums' (technically cordials) have sugar added, but none come that way from the still. The reason to avoid it is 'cuz it's too weak.
And yes, I do consider myself to be an expert of sorts on drinking.....care to spar with me on this one? Just poking fun, guys, don't go getting yer Irish up.....

I knew i couldnt of been the only one to use a very soft small childs toothbrush on the trench.

Careful now, those are NOT "heating" rods. In fact, quite the opposite, they are the coolest part in the area which is exactly why the junk is condensing on them (if they were the hottest, stuff would boil off faster than condense and they'd be self cleaning). Not that why it happens is all that important, but I think we do each other a disservice by continuing to repeat the 'heating rod' idea. For the record, the rods have been copper or steel (sometimes plated) throughout the models. The heat is generated in the screen. Current runs down the wires of the screen from side to side (none front to back for practical purposes) so that's where the heat is generated. Just watch a cleaning cycle and see where the action starts.
Otherwise, the maker is right. Deposits on the sides won't keep the screen from reaching working temperature and 'normal' function. However, as other posters have pointed out, it's not going to be all that fresh after a while, sort of like needing to clean a bong?

To the point of the water adapter, I'm sure Magic-Flight has only the customer's best interests in mind with pulling the water adapter site. I'm also sure that's a temporary move and whatever their next reveal is will either be a true mind-blower or a practical, useful, attractive improvement to the original adapter. If you want to have one and not have to wait for the sake of your lungs or for bigger clouds, try Vapornation.com or Ebay.
OF, thanks for your clarifying post on the heating mechanicisms/properties of the screen, very helpful for my understanding and for others. As far as my own box goes, I do get that blackish buildup every now and then, and it's easy enough to get off with the ISO, a toothpick, qtip, or small toothbrush (although I've not always had one of those around, they work great!)
VITO! Nice morning flight there! I appreciate those clouds. Enough so that I think I'll have to go make some of my own soon..
Or, well.. I'm actually on a weeklong break so far from any vaping and I think I may keep it up until the following saturday. I've been almost daily for about a year so this is a big deal to me. But it feels great to be clear-headed, totally active, and succeeding in my life with a fulltime and parttime job now!
Last night was my first time washing dishes at a Cafe in Bristol, Vermont where I was fed a beautifully presented and cooked meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes throughout my shift, then at the end, rewarded with the most scrumptious Crem Brule in the known universe!!!
