The Magic-Flight Box

[MoeOnTheMoon]

That all looks fine - had to look up Tocopherol but that seems fine too - except the Fragrance bit. Be wary in case it makes your goodies taste like perfume. Even if it's just a tiny amount of fragrance, the mild heat from the MFLB will enhance that fragrance and you might end up tasting it.

I guess a way to test is to rub a bit in your skin fully, give it 5 mins and see if you can smell anything. Otherwise, if you have any doubts, you can just pick up some bees wax / butchers block oil off ebay or something like that.

I agree. I'd avoid the fragrance. Also, cosmetic products, while they may list it as "sesame oil" or "sunflower oil", may be processed in some way to make them better for use as a body oil. I'd stick with pure oil such as pure mineral oil.

In any case if you are just oiling the outside of the box, it shouldn't be a problem.

Are people generally oiling the insides of the box where the heat is? If I oiled that part at all I'd oil it very lightly, and then, yes, I'd be very careful to use only the purest of oil there.

I'm waxing the top under the perspex but not in the trench hole - there's only the tiniest visible slither of wood there just above the o-ring. I am waxing the stem insert hole but nothing beyond that's under the screen.

My MFLB had a "funk", and I was disliking it. I would always smell it. That discouraged me from using it/bringing it out and about.

Why does it smell so bad or strong? Then I realized maybe it's the whip - it definitetly smelled something horrrible. I tied it up and retired it.

When I got my PA - is was set too high. I combusted the first bowl! It seemed to have toasted the wood a bit too, the wood under the trench looked dark! I was heartbroken, a bit.

Since then I figured my box was f*cked and would stink forever. You can see some dark green/blackish burnt stuff under the trench. I was going to be stuck with a combusted weed smell :/

I dropped my glass stem. It shattered. I was collecting oil in there..that was basically the last straw.

I cleaned the trench with some ISO well, and retired my MFLB Cue the funeral song....

Fast forward a few days - to a week later...

I opened the Sucrets box where I kept my MFLB. I took it out, took a deep whiff. NO SMELL or FUNK! It smelled like tea or a sweet wood smell!

It's alive and it doesn't smell!!! Hallelujah!

I am no longer "racist" towards my MFLB. I thought they all would smell after a while... Turns out - it must have been the trench, and the stem....

HAPPY END OF A MFLB STORY, BEGINNING OF A NEW ONE?

 

[momofthegoons]

sessnet, I'm glad to hear you're happy again.

I've had my LB for close to two years now and I've got to say that it has no smell at all. Granted, it isn't used daily, but it is used often. I am religious about cleaning it though and do so after every two or three trenches. Maybe that's why? In any case, it still works like it did when I got it; great!

I have used my MFLB in many public places. I can now add MegaCON. I vaped all day, and plan to vap there the rest of the weekend. So far it has been a blast. I vaped in the bathroom right before having our picture taken with Brent Spiner.

Why, exactly, were you in the bathroom with Brent to start with? Then again, maybe that's none of our business......

Today I had to go to the Dental Clinic I am enrolled in to re register for the year. It is a long wait , in a narrow hallway with a dozen people sitting along the wall.
The wait became long, and the chair became hard.
Launch Box in pocket came out, and I began to hit the box.
Each time a person looked toward me, I made direct Eye contact as I kept inhaling, and each time the gaze was averted. I vaped the entire trench, emptied the abv into my palm, and threw the ABV in my mouth, then I swept my trench and put box away.
Only one old gentleman maintained interest in what I had done, yet I did not get the impression he thought I was medicating.
Registration interview was pleasant!

 

[Stu]

Did the dentist then pick out the ABV from between your teeth?

 

[Vapinghole]

Vitolo, that's effing solid. Plain and simple.

Edit: Well, I'm new to vaping (quite the enthusiastic convert), and in a different thread I was called out for having a severe case of VAS (Vaporizer Acquisition Syndrome).

Guilty, as charged. But I blame you all You and your damn deep knowledge and helpful comments! Now you've forced me to purchase an MFLB (just ordered). It's way too cool to pass up. Quite the necessity, as I see it. I nabbed the PA as well. Vitolo's recent post gave me the nudge I needed to pull the trigger.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's preferences, and I look forward to reading more and experiencing it firsthand once it arrives. Comments and suggestions from y'all are welcome. Yes, I have another (butane-based) portable, and I'll still use that bad boy from time to time. But I can see the MFLB taking over given the size and way it works.

 

[J.R.R.Tokin']

I think you made a wise purchase Vapinghole. I honestly think the MFLB will always have a place in my arsenal of vapes. It's so simple, elegant and damn stealthy. If I'm out and about for an evening on the town it's the MFLB that accompanies me. I've sat in restaurants, bars, clubs, buses and taxis hitting the MFLB and no one was the wiser.

Definitely check out the Vaporpedia for hints and tricks on this one, and check out the videos. There's a couple of techniques to use and they will need practice to perfect. However, once you got it down it's ace.

 

[Vapinghole]

Thanks, J.R.R! I feel good about the purchase and the company. Headed to Vaporpedia now!

Cheers!

Great story, Vapor Jedi! Hidden in plain sight. It's the sneaky behavior that gets people noticed. I like how you approach vaping like there's nothing wrong with it and it is a completely normal activity. Which it is!

New set-uppppp!!

It's just the silicone whip attachment plus a new waterpipe, percolated stem! I'm loving it, but can't wait to get the WA and PA.

I wasn't vaping in the bathroom with him. Although, he strikes me as the toker type. He is super nice too. I can't believe he is 63 now, doesn't look it, IMO.

Hey, I've never had the pleasure of meeting him in the bathroom or anywhere else, so I'll take your word for it. I didn't mean to imply you were vaping with him, only wondering out loud why you might have been in the bathroom with him in the first place you know.

But since you bring it up, if you didn't go in there to vape with him, exactly why did you follow him in? Or maybe he followed you in to the Women's room? Be nice to know that part at least, you know how easy these sorts of rumors get started.... If you don't mind telling, of course. I'm sure you understand how some of us are at least a little curious??

I vaped with my MFLB in the women's bathroom, handicapped stall, by myself.

After that, I went to the photo OP and to talk to him. We also did the same with Robert Picardo and Bruce Boxleitner today. There are a lot of stars there this weekend.

I'm not brave enough to vap with my MFLB in plain sight.

OK, have it your way then.

No offense, but I liked my version better. Make a much better screen play, too. Who do you see playing you? Meryl?

I give up. It has just been nice to vap all day, whenever I need to, with no smell.

Good plan, really. The light's better there. And the smell kinda covers for the cheap vapes.....

There aren't that many seats, though, and they're not all that comfortable.

Lucky we had Vicki there to report back, doncha think? That's not the kind of stuff you hear on the evening news you know.

You're funny, ha ha. I like experimenting with the places I can use my MFLB.

 

[Vaporisateur]

My replacement MFLB was shipped earlier this week, what do you guys think are the odds of getting the latest edition with the cover lock? I didn't bother asking them, I like surprises...

 

[Stu]

Since they no longer make the ones without the cover lock, I'd say you're chances of getting the latest version are pretty good.

 

[Vaporisateur]

One would think they still have units from previous version to be used for replacements, but not sure if that's manageable for their scale.
