The Magic-Flight Box

I'm right handed, but when I have the box on a whip I hold it with my left hand, cradling it against my thumb and pressing the PA button with my index finger. This lets me use my right hand dexterity to tap the trench better while taking a hit, to shake the herbs around just right without sending material up and over the rails.

I'm left-handed and I never really thought about any of this.

So was Sam Colt, which is why basically all revolvers are 'backwards' for right handers. The inventor made it load on Starboard, not Port.

I too use an 'overhand' grip. Palm down, battery pressed into the heal of the hand by pulling the box in with the fingers. Workable, but not ideal?

Lefties would seemingly naturally use the left hand, using their fingers on the battery. Right hand is easier because you can support your fingers on the length of the box, but may feel wrong/uncomfortable for lefties. More strain on 1 or 2 fingers :/

Yeah, I press the battery in with my middle finger and (especially if I don't use the battery cap) it begins to hurt something awful. Btw, I've been meaning to ask - once I get my PA, I'll want to remove my pushback ring I think. How do you propose I do it?

Tooth pick? Tweezers? It's just in there secured by the slightly smaller diameter of the wood. Very easy to remove and put back in.

Hi guys, just a little question, the charger sold in US is compatible with 240v?

Just out of curiosity, how many of you guys have taken the rubber stopper out of the batterie hole? I took mine out right after I bought it (just over a year ago) and have been using it without ever since. I like that I can just put the batterie in, make a connection and leave it there till I'm done.

I can't answer your question with 100% certainty... but on the back of my white Magic Flight charger it states:


Class 2
Battery Charger
Model V-818
INPUT:
100-240V AC 50/60Hz 5.5w

At first glance it would seem so. My charger does not include the "grounding prong" and is only two prongs that are parallel and they're the same size. If anything you'd need a cheap (2-3EU/$3-4USD) adapter. I remember there was a problem early on when MF sold a bunch of units to someone in the UK and they decided to skip on the chargers and supply their own instead with the box. It worked but just barely (due to not using the 'better' batteries and cheaping out/not researching enough I would guess?) and lots of people hated it because of a bad experience.

I did until I forgot about taking it out and charred a load

for normal home use, i keep the rubber stopper out. however, when i'm on the move out of the house i'll leave the rubber stopper in. i find i can get better quick stealthy hits while out in public if i don't have to worry about the battery making a constant connection while leaving it in the MFLB. another great trait about the LB, adaptability.

Blech! Combustion. I wrecked my first trench showing off today, thinking i was going to blow a major cloud. I was micro-hitting way too slowly and got a cherry that smoldered for a minute. Total rookie maneuver. I did a clean cycle to burn off any residue. I just loaded up a fresh trench and can still smell smoke a little. How long can i expect it to linger?

Proberly a few trenches. Keep doing a clean cycle. It happen to me once.

within 3 trenches it'll be getting noticeably better, by a half dozen you probably won't notice it. happened to me more than once with two different units.

The charger is compatible, you just need to get an adapter.

Yes, it is compatible, I own one and it works in France.
Chances are you won't even need to get an adapter, as it will more likely be included in the LB packaging. At least that's what happened to me when I bought it from a local vendor, and that's what Magic Flight claims if you order from them :

Thanks for your answers guys! I will order one of the packs in puffitup. The one with 6 batteries I think.

One thing I don't miss. With the new batteries that come with the exotics now... Never torch trenches. I've held solid for a good long time (good 15-20 seconds, at least), sucking down a trench, with those batteries.

I have a cherry exotic on the way now. I am anxious to try the new batteries!

mine comes tomorrow! tree of life, I'm so excited! Will have pics ASAP!

Nice!

I just tracked mine. It left San Diego yesterday. (Feb 9th) I don't expect it to arrive before Tuesday.

thankyou the coins in a bottle was the catsass for the right grind. lets patten it and make a million $$$$ or so

Nothing helps me get over my hangover the way firing up the LB in the morning does. If I have more than a sixty to ninety ml. measure of whisky anymore, I have a terrible time the next day and usually pass out first thing once I get home. I've never been a big drinker, but at twenty-two I think I may be aging a little too fast - I used to be able to drink a lot more. To top this, sometimes I get terrible stomach cramps once I consume alcohol (which dissipate when I drink some water) and my doctor's said I may be allergic. But hey, I'm just thanking the fucking stars I'm not allergic to THC.
b0 - if you don't have a desktop vape yet, I'd highly recommend shelling out cash for a PA. My first pair of batteries (after admittedly heavy use) died within a couple of months. My next set, Sony 2700s, have lasted me so far - I see one of the batteries beginning noticeably to under-perform now though.

Ok, USPS has impressed me again, as well as Magic Flight customer service! I got my cherry LB this afternoon, and it's beautiful! I love it! I am really impressed too. I ordered this LB Friday afternoon, and I have it Monday afternoon.

I will post pictures as soon as I can, and will include pics of my other LB's alongside. I also picked up a Magic Flight t-shirt, and will use that as my background for the pics.

tobacco................I had a quadruple heart by-pass 15 years ago. I know that the cause was pizza and smoking tobacco. I would "never" put nicotine in my body knowingly. I hope that one of you will stop using tobacco to get high on. Getting your breast bone cut with a branch cutter and all you ribs dislocated then your breast bone reconnected using stainless steel wire for the repair to pull it together is serious bad news
