The 2700's and c9000 changed the way I feel about the lb , it moved right into my home vape spot with no problems .

I was about to invest in these more expensive chargers you all speak of, but after hearing of the power adapter, I decided to invest my money in that instead. I only use my MFLB at home anyway, so this will save me the bother of constantly charging batteries.

The MFLB is the best vape I have used. I have only used a few, but the VG was my go to vape.
The problem I have is w/ the batteries and charger it came with..the batteries won't charge enough to even finish one trench...so are these batteries revivable if I get a better charger? I should have invested money in better batteries and a charger right off the bat. My MFLB will stay in hibernation until I get the power unit. Expect a full review once I get the unit.

NiMH batteries don't have much of a memory effect, but if you never completely discharge them, they will, over time, provide less charge time. Most MAHA chargers will recondition batteries to some degree, either automatically or as a manual option.

I'd really consider the c9000 mandatory for long-term MFLB owners.

Also consider the LaCrosse BC700 for half the price of a C9000. Takes a bit longer to charge being that it has a max charge rate of 700 mA, but other than that, it's a great analyzer/charger that is also capable of reconditioning your batts. It's also a bit easier to use being that you don't have to cycle thru the display to see what each batt is doing. It has separate displays for each batt. Also, unlike the C9000, you can do global settings without having to repeat settings for each batt, unless of course, you use the default settings on the C9000. Much less button pushing.

Just an alternative to consider.

Hey guys, the Powerex C9000 is on sale at Newegg right now for $49. Solid deal, just ordered one!

It's good for the next 15 minutes...I got lucky and happened to be on the site looking for something else.

Damn! I tried to cancel my Amazon order but I couldn't. I just paid $65 for the same charger plus 4 batteries. That is a hell of a deal!

Also includes free shipping, which is the real money saver vs. Thomas Dist. Powerex 2700 batteries are also priced great, 4 or 8 pack, and only add a few bucks for shipping.

Just tried vaping a very small quantity of quality Dutch rolling tobacco in the LB. It worked great! I gave up cigarettes many years ago, that's why I was very careful, but I do feel the well known tobacco high.

I do this because I'll transport the LB with the tobacco for alibi... To smell it up with it a little like I use it for that. :)

The magic flight launch box is wicked. Had it for about 3 months now and love it. Was thinking about getting one for my girlfriend for Christmas. Definitely recommend it.

Hi new MFLB user here,

Well not really that new. Bought in a september and could never get it to work. been busy reading and trying stuff on the FAQ but still no luck. Finally decided to contact PuffitUp.com where I bought it from for assistance. Unfortunately the great service you read about here was just not the case. Tried to chat with them no luck. Left them voice mail no luck. Left them several messages via the form on their website no luck. So after over a week of trying to reach them I gave up and emailed blissville whom I very promptly got a reply from asking me some questions and to try some experiments. Did that and same day sent them some pictures and they promptly replied that I they will send out a replacement unit and a instructions for returning the non functioning unit. Great support for blissville. Non existant support from PuffItUp.com.

NOTE: I did finally get a call back from Randy at PuffItUp a day after I rectified the issue with blissville. Too little, way too late... I will definetly avoid doing business with them in the future for sure.

Can't wait to get my unit and get it working. I am loving my Extreme Q!!
(first real vape after 2 easy-vapes(Cheap POS) and a vapolution (Expensive POS))

Happy Holidays
Frothy

That LaCrosse BC700 looks nice. As far as the C9000 goes- is it really THE best? I am going to buy one soon, and although the LaCrosse BC700 is much cheaper, none of them really cost too much. I want to invest in the best charger for my beautiful little LB. Why do you recommend the C800S over the C9000 or the BC700?

MF,

I remember reading something about a car adapter that was included or available for purchase with the beta home adapter. Are the beta units going to come with this or will it be available to purchase later? I didn't see anything about it when I ordered it.

I keep a fully charged third deep cycle marine battery on my bass boat hooked up to a female 12v adapter strictly for vaporizing accessories :)

The things that a LaCrosse has over the C9000:
Global settings that make it easier to use than the C9000
Displays for each batt makes it easier to use and to see what's going on.
When batts say full, they are actually full.
Half the price of the C9000

Things that the C9000 has over the BC700:
Faster charge rates
Batteries are spaced out more thereby causing less heat.
Backlit display

Very good info lwein thx. I'm going to be upgrading chargers after the new year. I'll probably go with the BC700 for cost and the individual displays. The faster charger rates and the backlit display are not very important to me.

Keep an eye on it on Amazon. Currently, it's at 29.99, but it's been as low as 22.00.

To anyone who's prone to dropping things.... I've dropped my lb a million times and I've never broken it.
I was at a friends last night and he dropped it from a table. Its pretty durable because only a small part of the acrylic chipped off. But it still works great.

Is there any place to buy the MFLB and only the box without any batteries or chargers or any thing else.
Just the box alone.

Thanks in advance

I use the La-Cross BC-9009. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00077AA5Q/ref=oss_product
It charges faster than the 700.
Lwein did not mention one of the big advantages over the C9000: Button presses! The C9000 takes 10 times more button presses to program. The BC-9009 is far easier and faster to program, important when it is used daily.
I do use PowerEx 2700 for my batteries though, they are by far the best I have tried.

Yes I did. When I mentioned global settings. Also mentioned it in post #6199 this thread.

Regarding the higher charge rates on the BC900/9009, being that the batts sit so close together in the LaCrosse chargers, personally, I would prefer to not go over 700mA in order to keep the heat down. Takes a bit longer to charge, but it's easier on the batts.
