The Magic-Flight Box

Hey all. Know I just got back, but got a nasty blow last night. Hopefully, its not my first thought... Kidney stone. You don't ever want to have one, trust me. Mostly still in the nauseous stage, so it might just be the crud going around. However, the tight band feeling around my midsection says otherwise. So... I'm not dead, if I end up being scarce.

OF, I didn't forget. I'll try and catch up, later.

On topic: after my tussle with the PA, I have actually rediscovered the pure joy of the box, being used as it was originally designed. I'm also getting very favorable results with the batteries and water pieces. Its actually, a much more natural feel for me, w/o the PA.

Just tried the PA properly for the first time and this thing beats batteries hands down.

I put a mediocre amount of material in the trench, set the PA to about half, vaped off the first "tasty" vapors, this took a while to vaporize (hey, its good stuff ) and it certainly turns the material darker quicker and delivers thicker vapor than batteries possibly can, even on HALF!

How? Well because the very moment you start using a battery, it gets cooler and cooler. Those batteries might be made as best as possible to deliver continuous power, but the fact is they don't.

The PA however is amazing as far as the heat is concerned. After taking ages vaping on half, I gave it a break to let the PA cool a bit (although it wasn't too hot to hold onto) and turned it up to full. As I got the last wisps off the material on full heat, I emptied the material out onto my hand, it was BLACK! Not "very dark brown" but actually black. It wasn't even burnt though - it would be grey and ash-like and wasn't

Damn, this is always what I wanted my batteries to do, but I could never justify using 2 full batteries to do it.

Thats the bottom line for me - to turn the material black I would need to use up about 2 batteries to do that. The PA does it pretty fast once you crank it up towards the end of the vaping. Its not like a Volcano, but then its nothing like as expensive and for its size and with this PA, will get you just as high as a volcano I bet!

You don't know what you're missing if you don't have a PA with your MFLB. Can't believe I never got one sooner. If I went back in time I would have bought the PA along with the MFLB

PS If anyone is wondering, no that isn't me in the avatar, I just couldn't be arsed to upload anything else. Dunno who it is. Lets pretend its me.

When I first got the PA, I felt that I was tethered to the wall socket
kind of like a kite.
After using the PA and getting ripped, I forgot about the tether and
batts for a long while.
Summertime and vacations brought me back to the batts, and I was amazed
at how hot they were compared to my usual low PA setting.

I had to pull harder and quicker to avoid the higher temps which was a good
thing while out in public.

Batts or PA, I still love this little vape after two years
of daily driving this thing.

I also find that the skill set needed to maximize this vape allows
us to really nail the vapor technique of other vaporizers.

That happened to me too. I had to be careful, and almost combusted once.

HaHa, so much for stealth in the olive garden's bathroom.

It didn't happen in the Olive Garden bathroom. It happened in the car.

Just finished corresponding with K from MF .
He tells me that , he was able to intercept ,
and ship my replacement LB and PA together .

Excellent Customer Service .

And now ...back to listening to Tom Petty .

Magic Flight is great like that! Glad you get your PA with your replacement LB!

You haven't got bitten by any mosquitos lately, have you?

Actually, the one pest we don't really have around here, are them.

I've had 2 kidney stones that haven't passed and required surgery. The tight band feeling around my midsection, is a bad sign. Only time that's happened, are the 2 that didn't pass.

I bought a Launch Box about a year ago but dont use it often. I find the batteries rarely last long enough to toast an entire load - is this likely a problem with my batteries, the charger, the box, or my grind? I'm not really sure the point of failure here. I'm leaning towards batteries or charger because i find if i leave the batteries on the charger after they hit full they dont stay near max, like I can take them off and put them back on and they'll be considered 'charging' again.

Probably batteries. I've only run into problems with batteries after they've been used many many times. Did yours ever work adequately?

it's gotten me high, but compared to my friends ive never had the results he's had with his

MFLB is a technique driven device IMO, and you probably won't get great results until you get the technique down. It should be easy to tell if the batteries are the issue - buy another set and test them out. You'll likely want more batteries anyways.

Perhaps your friend has stronger batteries?

My batteries will engage the charge light if removed and replaced after charging also.

Be well, BDV!

When I say results I also mean in regards to actual colouration of the bud in the chamber, he can blacken his, I can at best muddy brown mine. That could be technique, but I've really tried a lot at this point.

Are these batteries solid? The MFLB faq says Eneloop is a good pick especially for holding charge, but im concerned with the 2500 rating. Thoughts?

EDIT: Search is my friend, they seem legit. Thanks a lot everyone

You need low discharge (LD) batteries. The 2500s pictured appear to be HD batteries.
If they are HD they will work, but the life span will be short.

True enough, pakalolo...
Correction- Need is a strong word.... You do not "NEED" LD Batteries, they simply have a much greater life expectancy!

Excellent point. As a group we've lately become quite casual with this word. "XXX needs to YYY" has become a substitute for 'I think it might be a good idea if....'.

For sure an unusual happening for our Vitolo, usually the master of clear communications. Bet it's a long time before it happens again......

IMO he remains "The Sage of the High Desert".

Well made another convert. About two weeks ago, my buddy broke down and ordered his box and has loved it ever since. he called me this morning and I just ordered 2 PA'a to save on shipping!!

I really love the new exotic wood boxes... beautiful!!!!

Wouldn't the fact that they're pre charged (and Eneloops which I thought by and large were LSD) suggest they're LSD?

I own 8 of the Sanyo 2500 XX batteries. They are in fact LSD, not HSD.
If you want LSD batteries with capacity similar to HSD then definitely go with the Sanyo XX 2500's.

Congrats matthend, you'll find the PA changes the box once again, going from a stealthy option to a small (yet capable) beast. I can get some mighty foggy bong-loads with the vape and some finely ground material. I mean I can get them with batteries anyways, but it's just quicker and more fulfilling using the PA.

Today's sessions brought to you by the OG's and batteries! Earth/Diablo OG and a speck of Chocolope here and there for some nice sativa.

Quick question, those that are rocking the batteries, how many trenches are you seeing on average per battery? Wanted to highlight something here, I mean stock/aftermarket batteries.

Edit: Vito, I ended up watching another video of yours with a different vaporizer... where the hell do you hide all that vapor? You're getting RIDICULOUS rips, with the LB and other vaporizers (saw the life saber + wand hash video, WOW) !!
