The Magic-Flight Box

Man, in California now is it legal to open a theater solely for stoners where you hand in perfectly dosed hash brownies a half hour before the film starts? I'm high as a kite and this sounds like a great idea to me.

As I understand the law, arguably yes. It'd have to be a private ('closed') group with everyone having valid MMJ cards in possession. And the Health Department might get after you for serving food or some similar BS from 'the man', but I think you could make it legally a Dispensary with a movie room....yes, it would be neat.

You'd want a good lawyer on board, maybe give him a front row seat for his services?

In some areas of the country, informal bars known as 'Bottle Clubs' are common. Members individually or in groups buy liquor to consume there (at lower costs of course). Perhaps something on that line?

Yes! Man, we could start one of these in Amsterdam, too. Made firecrackers with ABV for the first time today, just shoved the biscuits + cheese + organo + pot on about six biscuits, microwaved for thirty secs and ate. Hope it works!

The continued adventures of Magic-Flight's "The Finishing Grinder"…
(It is apparently the only product in their store that is worthy of an article in the title, see for yourself! )


I'm not blessed with sensible legislation in the area, so this morning I found myself with a dwindled flower supply and no new crop waiting in the wings to replace it. Fortunately, I was soon to find myself thankful that I had experimented with leaving my ABV slightly less V over the past month or so as an exercise in making things last longer. I took my ABV jar, tapped some out into the trench, hooked up the PA and bubbler, and… I paused, and wondered about the already double-ground material in my trench (my fresh flowers go into a Mendo Mulcher first, then on to The Finishing Grinder when it's time to partake). Could TFG do any more for these leftovers?

It turns out that, yes, it could! I wasn't confident at first that it would do much, as the material was fine enough that some did fall through immediately after placing it into the grinder. However, I found that what did remain responded well to the following treatment:

1. Crush, via a simple vertical pressing action using the top half of TFG. The dryness of the ABV means this does something!
2. Macerate, by twisting while pressing firmly. If crushing didn't help it enough, that will do the trick and deposit it into the trench.

I carefully twisted and pulled off the base of the grinder from the Launch Box (letting it pop off wildly is not fun…) and was shocked! There was a healthy dusting of very fine material across the ABV that had fallen straight through. Seemed to me to be as fine as what might come out of a coffee grinder.

Now, I'll never argue that The Finishing Grinder could ever match a coffee grinder in thoroughness. But, I find that this little grinder can really perform if you are looking for a low-tech, electron-less, use-your-hands experience. It can easily be used "in the field" with some handy vials like OF recommended not long ago in this thread, and it is very easy to brush clean! It even has what I think of as a sort-of 'portable kief catcher' built into the interior shape of the wood under the grinding plate, which can be tapped/brushed out into your trench easily. And, I love things carved from wood.

Oh, and the trench hit great. Trenches like it will make the wait for new flowers easier. My supply extends itself; vaporization and the MFLB continue to surprise and please.


Cheers, FC!

Hey y'all, long time no post - so, my magic box is wearing a little thin, been dropped a few times, and I've constructed a lid-holder that is necessary because the lid cracked around the swinging hinge and lets out some vapor through the back if it isn't covered.
Because of this, I'm considering cashing in on my warranty soon, if I remember correctly, if the box's functionality is compromised at all, they will replace it, right?

The other part of what I'm wondering is, they've got all these great new woods and lid designs up on the store (check 'em out if you haven't yet!), so I don't know what the precedent is, if any, for trading up to a different wood/getting a lid design with my warranty replacement?? Has anyone done a deal with Magic Flight where they get their replacement but pay a little extra by mail or online or something to get an 'exotic' wood box?
I suppose I will just email Magic Flight to ask about this, but I figured I'd see if anyone has done this so far.

Hey I remember you ,
You're the one with all them " Freakin " chargers ....

Yes , a broken lid is covered by the warranty . ime
As for trading up , the e-mail thing is what you need to do .
And I'm sure you're aware of the new stronger batteries .
I wouldn't get the design cover lids personally .
I need to see the herbs cooking .

Vaped off my tits, trying to tackle that short story that's been eluding me so long. I really hate waiting eight hours to get my Sony 2700s on full charge though. I can't wait for MF to reply to my email so I can ask them to ship my PA. It'll take a while getting to India I'm sure. There's only one reason I'd ever want to move to america and that's to buy stuff online.

Here's some of the shit outdoor I am forced to vape in India prettified on an instagram quivalent. It's ok because I vape it though - can you imagine smoking that?!



there are twenty gazillion seeds and stems the size of saplings. Hell to clean.

Heck, don't come to America to shop online. Come to America for the HERB!

Man, I feel for you.

BDV, you've got a way with words that tickles me. Overall it makes for a very effective message in the cause. Please keep it up.....

OF

Haha, I lived in Amsterdam for a year, so I don't think America's high on my list of places to move to in order to get high. Thanks for the invite though.

While known for their fine herbage... Amsterdam isn't the be-all, end-all of Herb anymore. These days, its mostly rep built over decades. But, hey... a past year in Amsterdam, if that does it for you. More power to ya!

Me? I'm gonna go take a few more pulls off my MFLB and bubbler, vaping on some excellent Karma Bitch (yes, that's the name).

(clickable)

I don't know man, personally I've tried some of the finest from a lot of places - the famous BC Bud, some superlative shit my friend got down from university in Miami, some (get this) indoor grown Jamaican from Hawaii that blew me away with it's potency, although it was pungent as all hell.
Honestly, a nice gram of some Jack Herrer or Bubblegum Haze from my favourite Coffeeshop is smoother and sharper in every way.

Not trying to be combative. But, in today's world... with information shared freely and instantly. I seriously doubt, there is any difference in breeding/growing/cultivating marijuana in Amsterdam vs the United States. We have every conceivable indoor method available and pretty much any climate, you could want... to grow marijuana.

Either you experienced this some time ago, when there was some difference in the playing field, or perhaps you're experiencing something of a placebo effect.

Not that it really matters. To each his own.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that grow methods are different at all, that wouldn't make sense... but you're right, to each his own!

Interesting discussion. It's been entirely too long since I was in Amsterdam to compare but being a capitalist at heart and knowing smart and dedicated folks are pushing the envelope here in California for mere money in the Dispensary supply industry (Dispensaries buy from whomever offers the best bud) I suspect the trend to better and better is ongoing everywhere.

Let me ask a question that may shed some light, who's growing the award winning herb in the competitions?

OF

I'm not as trusting , when it comes to awards and competitions .
Especially if there is a bottom line $$$ involved .
I feel the event can be fixed and bought !
Case in point .....vaporfection won the last one for best something ?
Really ???

Yes , if we are just comparing pics posted by BDV and JeeSee .
Man , I feel for ya JeeSee , especially when you've experienced living in Amsterdam .

I think the answer to OF question is BC bud ...I think .
I do not know why I look forward to BC buds more so than Ontario grown buds .
It may be psychological because of the rep thing .
But I think in theory , weed grown by a large body of salt water makes it better . imo
and of course the climate too .

Hey JeeSee ,
Why are you in India ?
Job related ? School ?
Try and get a transfer to North America
It's " One " of the best places to live if you LOVE MJ .

california and colorado from what i understand...

JeeSee, how is india?... i have to get out there some time... it's one of the places i really want to visit. now i know when i go i'll have to bring my own herb ha... or some seeds and stay long enough ha.. whats the climate like out there? and the herb/psychedelic law.

Yes, BC bud was some of the most bombing crop I've tasted, I have to agree. The problem in Amsterdam is that sometimes you literally are spoiled for choice - there's so many options, recommendations and your own hope for a bargain/aversion to being cheated coming into play that it's often difficult to know what would be best unless you've stayed in that city over a period of time and sampled many things. I don't imagine I'd have picked up anywhere near the best green in the 'Dam if I'd been there for say, three or four days. Sometimes even the best Coffeeshops have weak batches (in my experience) for one reason or the other, so it's a bit of a patient waiting game to see what suits you most (because I really think that it comes down to personal taste after a point).
I've lived in India all my life, I was only in Amsterdam on scholarship to study film and culture. I'm done studying for now, I freelance write about electronic music (including in the Rolling Stone here ) and am moving to Goa to work on my first novel. You guys should come visit.
I'm looking for film schools to go to at the end of the year, suggest me a couple good ones in America and maybe I can come!
I might be applying to the Australian national film school though, so there's a chance I'll end up in Sydney.

Haha you get some great herb down South actually, famous strain called Idiki Gold after the town in Kerala where it originates. A lot of fake Idiki strains going around though, people selling you shit for top prices because they claim to have some Gold. Also, edible marijuana (bhang) is legal in a couple of our states. but that shit will fuck you up haha.
Otherwise, if you have a hash vape or don't mind combusting for a trip, our country is famous for what is probably the world's best charas. That alone, way up in the Northern mountains, is worth ten trips to the country. As for the climate, I'd recommend coming any time but the rain if you want to go there, but that's because I abhor rain personally. I guess Feb-March would be the best time to come.

Whoops, I didn't see the modhammer there. Sorry man! You hadn't posted when I started typing this long reply. It won't happen again.

EDIT: Please don't delete it though, it took a while for me to type! Plus it's kind of informative.

mod note: Please avoid back-to-back posts, use Edit instead. Two posts merged. Clemency granted, but your Hammer Dodge buff has been removed.

Well, I came here to tie it to the LB, paka... fear NO MORE!

While pondering Amsterdam vs USA herbage, opening my container of MFLB grind Karma Bitch. Wow... it was ALL over the edges. So of course, I had to scrape.



Scraped up a little bit. Would it be enough?



Oops!



Never mind! Perfect fit!

YUM. I envy you. I fill my trench up all the way to the edge lines where the trench ends though, because after a while, with some of the finest particles being blown away, the herb drying and some grind falling out through the air vent between the trench and the edge of the box (am I the only one that happens to?), it's no longer as full as it was in the beginning.

I really cannot wait for my PA and WPA. I've promised myself that's when I'll stop combusting for good. Right now I need a couple joints of some fresh mountain charas to keep me going while the batteries charge.

If you go back to BDV's last photo posting you'll note a tiny bit of tape at the 'one o'clock position' just outside the edge of the bowl in that air passage? There ya go.

Several of us do just that for just that reason. Others because it slows the airflow. Some for both.

OF

It's nice to not have to charge batteries.. especially if you use it at home a lot. i usually use my PA around the strength of a full 2700, maybe even a little lower.. it's nice having consistent steady power instead of a weakening power.. it's nice to be able to turn it up for the water pipes too.. that's the only way i use my LB at home now. I imagine the charas is too sticky to use mix-in there huh? i posted in another thread a way i vape oils and sticky hashes w/ the LB but i wouldn't try it w/o a PA, on ~3/4. i couldn't guarantee your screens complete safety though, and being in india it probably wouldn't be worth the risk.
EDIT:i usually only use the box for flowers though.. vaping extracts makes the screen all sticky and gets it caked up w/ particles quick.. if i vape extracts i usually do ha heat cycle after to burn off some oils from the screen. i do that every day i use it pretty much.. i dont like when my box makes its own smoke i try to keep it clean. the PA helps a lot w/ that too..

I got some Duracell 2450 batteries and I'm still having problems. The box lights up but won't stay lit long enough to take even 1 hit.

Should I buy some more powerful batteries or see about sending it in?

My MFLB has been getting some good loving lately but I can't even finish a trench in the box before the box itself smells like I've dabbed a half ounce of oil through it. My herb is good dried cured herb, it produces a shitload of vapor, anyone else have this issue? A good ISO swab with the brush on the trench seems to kill the smell but just wondered if anyone else has experience with it.

Note: the box smells WITHOUT herb in it. There's no buildup on the bottom that I can see.
