The Magic-Flight Box

Do you guys like using a whip/stem better than using the MFLB in native mode? I almost always use my vape in native mode since I seem to enjoy it more than using a whip/stem.

I prefer a stem

I prefer to use it native when I'm out and about because it looks less suspicious without the stem/whip.

Be honest with the new guy, Vitolo, tell him about the stem collection before one of us 'outs' you.....

For myself, I'm a native kinda guy usually. I too 'kiss the box'.

I go with a glass stem myself. It seems to cool the vapor a little and prevents the dreaded "resin on the lips" taste.
It also helps me focus the vapor stream on my tongue to gauge the temp. so intake speed can be adjusted on the fly.
I'm also a total THC scavenger,and although the stem collects a just a little resin,every little bit helps.

I find I can be more stealthy using a stem. A shorty is stealthiest for me(wood shorties at that!)
A shorty stem helps guide the box to my lips, and provides a natural angle of the neck to make it appear natural... something about hitting it native breaks up the natural movements to me that I use to disguise my activity.
The wood shorty is best... because it eliminates any possible glass or acrylic "glare" should it be exposed temporarily to light of day!

Oh yeah... collection...
Here are some of my wooden ones from Ed's
(being lazy and using an older photo, there have been additions!)

oops... here are a couple additions!

Go, Vitolo, Go!

The Sage of the High Desert rides again!

I prefer the long whip .
It definitely cools the vapor better ...especially on multiple-trenches .
It collects more resin on the whip part , rather than in your mouth . imo
I also found it easier to watch my herb cook and to avoid combustion .
Plus lastly ,
I get crossed-eyed from using the stock stem over a length of time , that's just me .

So it was either shorten my time with the mflb or get the whip .
I think I made the right choice .

edit ;
I forgot the best one .
The long whip allows you to shake the box while still inhaling with the battery in .

When I ordered my box I got a walnut stem and the longest whip. I use the box native most, whip second, and with the stem the least so far. That said, I don't regret buying the whip or stem. Being able to rest my hand casually at my side while sitting or standing and using the long whip is nice, and it also helps for turning a handy 12oz bottle into a little water filtration if desired. Though, I certainly found that for a beginner, the more distanced you are from the action in the box, the greater risk you'll run of overshooting the temp a bit and combusting.

I've used the stem the least thus far but I really love the look of the walnut box + walnut stem, and Vitolo's talk of improving stealth with the stem has me intrigued... Definitely not counting that accessory out.

So really, I've loved the box no matter what mouthpiece is used. Can't wait to try the WPA and WPWA some time.

To all the people using the whip:
How do you clean it?
Mine it's getting dirty on the rubber part, on the inside

Please correct me if I'm wrong but don't I recall an 'early adopter' using a very long whip through a hole in his jacket pocket up inside to the collar to cop secret hits with the box in his pocket?

Now that's system flexibility with a capitol F if you asked me.

I like the 'spur of the moment' water tool idea as well. The bottle already is disguised......

OF

I use 91% iso shaken through the whip, followed by hot water 9not boiling) and dish soap... followed by a rinse... then finally I suck it dry using a "shopvac' to remove spots and moisture.

I use a paper clip to reclaim the resin .
I uncurl and straighten the clip somewhat .
Then I heat up the clip with a lighter , reach inside the whip and scrape .
The heated clip helps in the removal of the resin .
I can usually get down 2 to 3 inches per end .
Then do the iso wash for the rest of the whip .

Hello,

I am posting because I have had problems with the MFLB plug-in adapter.

I contacted the MFLB company via email on October 2nd since I was having problems getting the adapter to continuously provide a charge to my MFLB unit. I had to twist it, and also press firmly, to get it to provide a charge, and the intensity of the charge has not been consistent.

On October 10th, MFLB emailed me back with both questions and suggestions. I heeded their suggestions (including using a paper clip in a very physically awkward and clumsy fashion to get, and keep, a charge), answered their questions, and sent them a reply email on October 12th.

Weeks went by and I received no reply, so I sent them an email on October 31st requesting a refund. I have still not received a reply, even after sending another email on Nov. 28th (yesterday) requesting a status update.

Since I have tried so many times to resolve this issue, and to no avail, I thought I should post here since I have seen MFLB representatives post here. Additionally, I am in the process of uploading a video that compares the consistent charges I get with batteries versus the sporadic charges I get with the quite expensive adapter.

Considering the cost of the adapter, I am very frustrated, and I would like to resolve this issue with MFLB. By the way, has anyone else had problems with their plug-in adapter?


Thank you all for reading, and I hope to hear from MFLB personnel if they are reading.

Howdy Philberto, good to meet you. Sorry you're having troubles.

I'm at a little bit of a loss here, what is it you want? If it's to contact MF, I don't think this is a good way, most of us contact them directly.

If it's to ask if other people have had this problem, yes several have. It's been worked out several times. As I understand it successfully each time.

If it's to try to get your unit fixed with the help and experience of those here (and I don't see that) we're going to need a little more information. What, specifically, seems to be the problem. In the past we've had troubles with the push button itself, the cable where it joins the body and the connection between the body of the insert and the ring in the box that makes contact with it. All have different causes and solutions.

What's your pleasure?

Also, if you notice... your PA has a serial number. Its got a warranty. They'll send you a new one. If its the connection in your box, you can warranty that instead. Heck... if you can be without your MFLB for a bit, you can send it to them and they will do the adjustment for you.

Slow down a bit and breath.

i've got i couple of questions regarding the accessories. inicially i just wanted to order the pa, since they only seem to sell it via their page. as i saw the new additions i thought, i might as well enlarge my shopping list, with christmas around the corner. i've allready got the original wpa, now i see, there is also a different one with a tube. can somebody explain me the pros and cons of both? further there is the new grinder, which has this usual classy appeal of the mflb products, but does it really do it's job better then a nano grinder?

The wood is nice but you really only need the whip..

Just wanted to say hello.

I just signed up here & just got my box. Now all I need is for my state to pass MMJ since they tabled the bills in early 2012. But NORMAL thinks it looks promising since the Nov elections have changed things. New to vaping and loving it. Also new to medicating and amazed I havent tried it sooner. I needed it for the past ten years of suffering. I was a fairly regular smoker many years ago in college and for about 8 -10 years after but gave it up due to family & career. Rediscovering it has been a lot of fun & medically beneficial. Still have to keep it from my kids though. Although i think they might see the benefit vs the deadly narcotics Ive been prescribed like candy for the past 10 years. Here's to not needing them as much and hopefully rid of them for good.

Great forum!

You're not alone! Loads of us here have successfully used the LB to cut off our medications. I myself have 5 active prescriptions right now, and medical helped me cut down to 2, maybe 3 if I really need it. Other than that, .125 of delicious dank indica in the trench seems to fix me up for a few hours.

A few things I want to say in this post. First I want to say i dont remember seeing the "shorty" wooden stems before but I will definitely be needing one of those!

Next, how does one go about cleaning the wood stems. Yeah I know how wood is haha but I do remember Vito mentioning a method of his to clean them somehow. Care to share?

Finally, I would like to say I have tried the original MFLB WPA and it really wasnt very good at all(in fact, I could say worse things about it but Im not here to bash their first design!) but that the NEW one^ up there looks encouraging!!!
The tubing they provide is silicone, correct? Also, might someone be so kind as to share the dimensions of the tubing they use. Thanks everybody. Off to hit my MFLB again, Cheers!

Nice ,
How much is it ?

It also said at the end ...available at our local shops ...also very nice .

30 dollars in each 3 different colors.

I think I am very interested in this as well. Right now I use an old piece from my SSV connected to the end of the whip that creates an airtight seal with my little bong. It works but this seems like exactly what I would want! And look at that, it's cheaper than the regular WPA!

Edit: Just saw that add for the free whip! Good luck FC'ers and thank you Magic Flight!
