The Magic-Flight Box

Trousers, YH, go back home and get your trousers......

That way you can also have a pocket to put the box in when you get tired of holding it.

this is mostly how i feel about the new MFLB batteries ... to be fair though i haven't tried using the new batteries through water yet, but i imagine i'd be more of a fan like that.. i mostly use the PA for that kind of thing though so i haven't made it a point to try it... i like the way you put that ^^^... i quoted from another thread but i thought it applied to my opinions on this perfectly.. well put OF

GOOD batteries and the box aren't much a problem for milking some glass, provided technique and material preparation is also up to par. Hell, once I got the Logos I only used the PA when I was charging (on heavy use days basically.)

how is the wooden stem compared to the glass stem? ordered mine along with the PA, but it might take a while until it arrives.

Man, I haven't used my stems in months. I have a bit of a problem, personally, I'd be happy if you guys could help: there's a small crack on my plastic cover, right where the steel pin enters the wood. I don't know how it got there, I handle my LB with great care - I assume it was one of my friends. Problem is, the cover's gotten loose since. It still holds with that tiny ball bearing when I'm hitting it, but I can't help but be bothered by the fact that it moves in ways it was not intended to. Plus, it's only a matter of time before it gets looser and looser until I can't use it.
I live in India, so replacing the box would be torture, I won't have a vape for at least a month. Is there any way I ccan tighten the plastic cover (delicately)?

Its beautiful. I love my glass of course, but I think maybe more condensates on the glass? yeah I would think so. Taste: Cant say i can notice one but honestly i gave up the glass stem a while back haha the wooden one is too cool. Plus it feels really nice. My wooden stem also matches my box very nicely. So, the glass stem is nice, easy to clean(good to use with other people), however every wooden stem is unique! Who doesnt love that?

Yes there is. Rotate the cover out of the way so the end of the spring hangs in space over the wood. Then gently bend the tip of it down a bit. I've done this twice, once with some stout but thin nosed 'duckbill' pliers close to the right angle bend. The other time I did a good job with it by flexing the spring arm down and to one side against the wood (say at a 30 degree angle to straight down (which moves it off center and down a little bit) then did the same the other way (further down but now on center again).

I hope one of those will let you 'adjust' the spring? If it fails you should be able to source suitable material locally. The cover is acrylic plastic, typically referred to by the trade name "Plexiglass". Also suitable to the use, though not as optically perfect, is the 'safety glass' typically used to protect windows from impact, polycarbonate plastic, typically referred to by the trade name "Lexan". Either type is easy to saw, file and drill and a home made cover should be easily possible.

Good luck.

Probably better. I broke the glass stem that came with my replacement box within the hour of opening it... from a foot-high fumble onto tile flooring. Good thing I had a second one at home

I think it's worked, thanks OF. I'm not much good with tools, in that I've never used any and would probably chop appendages off - if it comes to that, I'll just get it replaced.

Your call. I bet if you took the broken cover to someone they could cut one out of the plastic sheet and drill the hole for you. No need to get too involved with why......

Best wishes.

Hi y'all, yes it's like of said, roast and slowly inhale. I made a restrictive pipe to allow me to just draw at a normal rate, it slows airflow in box, allowing for constant vape output. Always visible vapor even from tiniest trench... Great weed saver and brain knocking as well. I used energizer batts too, not good contact to ground ring.. That said if one was to push batt in and cock it to the back of the box as well this creates contact and it works.. Well too.. Good to know, I always have my baby now its like so..

Pax rests... Nice vape but it does need lots of material and uses up that fast...will be used in trains and planes..

Minivap.. My go to brother, I remade her and it rocks now, no cutout and battery lasts a 6hour constant run time. I have only one setting max.. It's hooked to a whip and I can get tobacco vapes on my motorbike or paraglider. So it's my pick up and vape like a cigarette see. Can work on cars and get my nicotine... At night can make electronic circuits and hit pot nicely...

MFLB is my enjoy vape, stealth hitter, goodnight bed time buddy( always on floor in morning, can vape and pass out... Nice. A box of 4aa batts is fine for the day and fits in pocket great). This is the best vape period.. Best because:

1. It's simple, a screen short circuit on the battery... Steel wool on a 9v battery results in fire see, so simple. Nothing to bust if one never fingers the screen.

2. Small and large enough in bowl to last many nice hits.

3. It's beautiful and I love wood... So natural.

4. The makers respect life and love, see the message on the back reminds me we are all brothers and sisters trying to live in a hard yet beautiful universe...or multiverse...

5. It saves weed, tobacco so well, I'm saving massive bucks and getting more medicated or nicotined up for less. I have spare bucks to save and splurge on stock market. If stocks go up, I get a new vape , reinvest the rest and the cycle resumes.

6. Best of all it vapes on demand, not when it's gotten to temp... Etc. just push batt, suck and be happy.

So in all, I'll be probably having my last hit on one of these in 40 or so years when I'm on my death bed.. She will send me off nicely. So be cool, pot rules, its the best medicine and fun inducer... MFLB will always use it right too!



Edit I'm hitting her now... Happy Australia Day.. To all Aussies. Blowing vape rings, nice whispy blue rings.. So love your box. Get her out if you have her in storage, play with her, when you dial in, you will wonder why it was ever shelved.


Edit x2: like the skillet, cook and swirl technique for preheat stage; 5-15 seconds, then slow hit till it tastes just like its gonna burn then out the batt suck it all in cool down the trench. Like this its hard to hold in but it blows one away and puts out a cloud that will uncover your stealth. The trench is all spent after two goes, needs a flip over first before trench 2.

my LB has been stored for ~10 days or so now and i think i need to bust it out and give some attention.. and feed it some herb haa, it's probably hungry.. iv'e almost forgotten how ripped it always gets me off so little.. and i could use its help cutting down a little bit lately... and happy Australia day to you

DAMNIT SHIT WHAT THE HELL

I LIT half my f****** trench on fire

LEGIT CHERRY!!

I thought it was the light when I looked down after looking at my tube get -crazy- milked... "damn that light is really bri- what the hell that's halfway down my tre- SHIT SHIT SHIT"

Well, what happened is that the ring is tighter around one of the two Log batteries... and kept the freaking battery in place for a few seconds longer than I anticipated. Of course I was expecting total loss of power and that didn't happen.

Now my mouth tastes bad, my box is GROSS because it LEGITIMATELY CHERRIED half the trench, and my little tube smells of disappointment. Time to get the ISO out

Oof!

I feel for ya'. It's happened to the worst of us, and the reaction is always something like....

bummer that shit stinks ha... my batteries fit pretty snug too, even w/ the push back ring in i have to pull em back a little to be safe.. especially w/ those new ones..

Oh wow. That really sucks.

I know! The taste will fix itself in a few trenches' time, hopefully... It cleaned up pretty well, though. Thanks for the condolences guys. I've got something a bit more positive to end the night on, though

So unfortunately due to some external circumstances, my plans fell through for tonight so I thought I'd drop a quick little review on a new grinder I got some weeks back... The V-Syndicate Triple X card grinder! The "Color" series has a price range of $7.99 - $15.99, with my particular model being $11.99, but the LSH had it for $8.99. I actually didn't end up buying it, I bought the slyme dome and a male slide/bowl which was quite cheap (I figured it would be good as a back up, just in case...), and the person helping me just tossed it in the bag and said they weren't selling very well and I was a cool dude...

Anyways, as we know, the Launch Box does love a fine grind, so I was most interested in the fine grind X. Pictured is the grinder card with a small nug of some very dry Red Dragon. I broke it up into small pieces like in the picture, and used my thumb to rub the bud over the grates. I think it's important to mention that I did NOT hurt myself on the grate while using it. In fact, I just rubbed my pinkie knuckle on both sides of the grates and I didn't feel much discomfort. I'm sure if I pressed as hard as I can I'd do something, but I wasn't too shy about putting a bit of pressure on it.

What I like about the card grinder is that it isn't very flimsy. It has a bit of bend to it, but it's not so bad as to affect the experience or detract from performance. I was also quite pleasantly surprised at how well it functioned. Another neat thing I didn't think about at first was that due to the size of the small holes on the fine grate, the stems separate from the actual bud getting ground up, and so you end up with just the bit of stem rubbing on the grate and no bud left on it. It made it fairly easy to separate the stems, although I did notice that if I pressed down hard I could grind up the stems as well. It also handled the little odds-and-ends bits of leaf with ease, and the form factor also helps to scoop your little piles easier than doing it with your fingers.

One of the things that I noticed about it is that it really likes dry material. I'm imagining that I'll have a less satisfactory grind experience if I use stuff that's cured for combustion, or material with more moisture than normal. Keep your stuff dry (like, bordering bone dry if not bone dry) and it will grind with ease. It's also probably not the best choice if you have problems with pain or stiffness in your digits because of how it functions. One more thing I noticed nearly as soon as I used it is that a little bit of kief/plant matter will stick to the finger you're using to press the stuff down with. This isn't a problem with 2+ piece grinders because there is much less direct contact with the herbs.

The bottom two pictures, the first one is the grind consistency from the middle grate, and the last picture is the consistency on the finest of the three.

I give this product an 8/10. I love how small it is, it doesn't have a lid that can get lost and render it useless, and it's not going to break teeth or jam up every two grinds like some other 2 piece grinders would. On the downside, it may be uncomfortable to use for some and it doesn't have a containing chamber, so you're going to be grinding down into a tray or something that will catch your material.

I would recommend it to people that have the money to spend on a more novel grinding apparatus, given the fact that there aren't many things that can mechanically happen to it to cause failure. It's definitely something I'm glad I have laying around, even if it doesn't see much use here in my room (I can see myself being glad to have it in my kit in certain situations, and it's small enough that it takes up next to no room in my tin.)

This is the card that I own.

Bummer man, but IMO this is no time to start drinking. Face the trouble, don't run from it. Clean up the box and move on.

I know getting drunk and forgetting sounds good right now. If you really need to, then go for it....but use Scotch or Rum or something.....that ISO will give you a nasty nasty hangover. Last thing you'll need tomorrow when you have to finally clean up the box....

OF

Hahah OF, you're funny! I used the ISO to clean my screen and my water pipe to remove the funny taste. I'm drinking tea tonight

Good call. Your liver should thank you, but probably won't...... Organs can be like that you know.

OF

Whew... good thing he didn't literally drink the alcohol, huh?

Close one there.

Meh... I gotta go shoot a video.

Amen on that, Big Guy. Isn't that what we're here for? Protecting each other and all? I mean we shouldn't be judgmental or anything....next time it could be you or I who reflexively reach for that bottle...

I think it's extra important with fellows like Q, no telling what he's likely to try doing next is there? I think he's OK now, but if necessary we should be ready to watch him in shifts until the danger passes, doncha think?

OF

Yeah, be extra careful tonight. I'm down to one trench

On the plus side I got paid a bit of money today so I might go get a bit more tomorrow

And now I'm down to zero trenches left

I'm up for a few more hours.
