    I would not make that assumption. I have 3 boxes with lights, they're all different. One even has a larger bulb than the other 2. These guys are running way under ratings (notice how yellow they are?), I would expect many hundreds of hours before they would dim much. Condensed vapor on the bulb surface would dim them far faster than aging. The normal decay mode for little lamps like this is a darkening as the filament evaporates off onto the glass giving it a silver colored film on the inside, the reason household light bulbs are so big in diameter. Halogen bulbs are small OTOH since the high pressure inside prevents the vapor boil off.

    Nice looking box, BTW. I once got into a whole lot of trouble saying that......I hope that doesn't happen again....

    I put little stickers on them numbering them from oldest to newest. I find its easier to keep track of the ones I prefer because even though I tend to buy them in batches of four at a time I find there are always a couple that seem to work better than the others even though they are all the same battery.

    That is true. By analyzing them with my MAHA C9000 charger, I saw that there is a growing difference between capacities over time, even if the batteries were bought together

    Hey guys, stopping by again!

    I ordered the power adapter and the car adapter for the MFLB, and it is definitely worth it. It removes the only real downside of the MFLB which are the batteries. You can control the temp much better and I feel like I'm getting better hits.

    Another satisfying purchase from MFLB :nod:

    can anyone recommend a site to buy the mflb for cheap? i know amazon is gone now, but has anyone had any experience with ebay? They are selling new for ~$80

    i would love to get the pa with the box, but if i am paying full retail for the box, thats 180 total.
    can't quite justify that at the moment, but i could easily justify paying 140 if the box was indeed new and updated, and with warranty and such.
    in quite the predicament, need some advice :love:

    note: never really been an ebay buyer. idk what it is, but if always been skeptic when it comes to ebay. if ebay is the cheapest while being genuine, could someone send a link over this way that they believe is safest/cheapest? (2012 model with click-lock lid)
    much appreciated

    Hey Bro!
    If your batteries are fading my standard fix is to hit Amazon and grab a 4 pack of Powerexx 2700's. But I've been hearing very good things about the batts. that MFLB is now shipping.
    One last thing....what % of your use is in home? If it's 50% or more you should consider the Power adapter from MFLB. I got one and it transformed my 'Box into a nice little home unit,saving the batts. until needed.

    I haven't been back to the site, so I'm not sure if they are still having that sale.

    Magic Flight sucks. Not the product, but the customer service. I placed an order on the 18th of November. The order was shipped out the next day and never arrived. I contacted Magic Flight about the missing package, but they never contacted back. I tried via phone and email. My package came 2 days ago on December 16th, but there was no magic flight inside the box. There was only some batteries and a charger. I contacted them the same day, and now it's been another 48 hours since I've contacted them. Still no response. Hopefully I'll receive a response on these forums.

    That sounds very strange... Was the package opened in any way? Did it look like it was closed twice? Sounds weird that it would take almost a month to get there and not have the actual vaporizer... where are you located? Did customs get their hands on it?

    Odd, considering their customer service, is viewed as what all others should be.

    I've always handled them, as I would like to be treated and they've always responded in kind.

    the mflb and whip is nice... through water w/ the pa, even dry w/ a battery... temp is easy to keep cool, the vapor gets cooled, can shake while hitting... plus it feels/looks less like your'e smoking a pipe for when in public or the car... i needed the glass piece to attach the desktop to the bong, i'm using it as a non water whip right now on my LB and its nice... i have a little non glass water piece i made to better suit my LB water filter preferences, this will fit up easily w/o the Glass piece... i kept the wooden piece and made it work cuz i thought it looked cool, here's a pic...
    [IMG]i think i'm gonna leave it like this in substitute for the stem...
    EDIT: ya i love it like.. this im keeping... most convenient and effective for me... so far ha

    Ahh the MFLB...the gift that keeps on giving!
    Nice set-up man. I'm looking to add a water pipe dedicated to my beloved 'Box A.S.A.P.
    Checking out setups like yours adds food for thought fer sure.
    Keep fighting the good fight and wave your MFLB flag proudly!

    thanks.. iv'e been neglecting my LB lately and i pulled out the water pipe whip to use the glass piece for something else and decided to make use of the rest of it as a dry whip so it didn't seem wasted... and i like using it this way the best so far... i can just chief on it and keep the temp low n tasty... and i can just sit w/ my LB by my side and hit it.. its comfortable


    right after typing this^^^^ i got up from the computer and my LB dropped off my lap n the lid broke :doh: , its still usable though but it broke right at the pin so i have to be real carfeul from now on, its barely hangin in there... id post a pic but im lazy haa... that last pic was the last pic of my box in perfect shape ha.. im sure wen it eventually breaks i can come up w/ some solution b4 i have to warranty it.. should b interesting
