    The Magic-Flight Box

    Ah thanks, I had them confused since I wasn't sure what actually came with my MFLB. In general though, what happens if you "break in" a battery at either higher or lower than its true capacity, and given that they are often mislabelled anyway, how does one determine their true capacity?

    The Magic-Flight Box

    My stock batteries used according to the directions stopped working effectively within a couple months. The c9000 has cheered them up. I'd consider it a requirement for serious LB usage. I'd still like to see a LB-specific newb-friendly guide for it, maybe I'll write one up once I have...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I ran the break-in cycle on some Imedium batteries, but had it set to 2500 instead of 2700 for capacity. Is this going to limit their capacity? Should I run the break-in cycle again?

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I use a 4-piece Mendo Mulcher for my SSV, but indeed its a little coarse for the MFLB. I actually really like the tiny one it came with. I thought it was a gimmicky toy at first, but it really works well and is so cute. I do wish it had knurls on both pieces for easier twisting, but it still...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    mintberrycrunch - if you are getting a good hit but thats all, its a battery issue, not the box. Unfortunately battery technology is sketchy and expensive. My batteries which came with the unit needed time in a superior charger to bring them back to life - I still believe that with the cost of...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I'll definitely purchase a beta power unit, hope its announced in a way that is easy to find in this thread. I've been spending a lot of time on it today, but that is not normally possible. If magic-flight had an email list, I would certainly be willing to participate.

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Thats about right. The proof is in how you feel 15 minutes later. This isn't a device for maximum cloud or milky hits. Visbile vapor, which is actually wasted vapor you are not ingesting, happens for me about 40% of the time of a large, long hit. You should indeed feel a little heat on your...

    Ok I'll bite: MIntberrycrunch: post pics of your ground herb. It needs to be a little finer than that which is perfect for your SSV. Then, if you have a 4-piece grinder, flip it over and keep grinding (so that the pieces don't fall through the trap but are ground yet again). Or, load a small...

    Complaints like this seem to rise and fall like tides on this forum. Logic rarely works in these cases, but props to you patient souls for attempting it anyway. I use an SSV as well, and a given ammount of herb goes MUCH farther in the MFLB. As noted above though, the SSV is capable of giving...

    Thanks for all the replies and thanks for the link to the vaporwiki, that is fantastic and just what I needed. Now my remaining questions: 1) What is the "cycle" program on the c9000 good for? 2) What readings will indicate a bad battery? I suppose the proof is in the vape, aka not getting...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Thanks for pointing out the link! Good stuff. I assume if I treat all my batteries as the Imedions, some will obviously be failing still, and those should be put to different use. Too bad I was suckered by the 2900mah claim :( I saw someone mention "hockey tape" for batteries but I am...

    My LB joy is fading as my batteries are not what they used to be. I would really appreciate some advice here, and I will try to make that easier with specific questions at the end of my description. I've had the LB since September, and its been great. Over time some of the batteries were not...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    More specific questions about the C9000 after reading the owners manual: 1) What is the difference in when you would use the "break-in" program vs the "cycle" program? I am mostly concerned with refreshing batteries after a few months of using the LB. Do I treat them as "new" with the...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    My batteries which came with the unit along with the 4 extras I ordered are giving up the ghost. I've tried manually discharging them by running them though the LB until the light goes dim, but it does not seem to have revived them. I've taken the plunge and ordered the Maha C9000 charger...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I'm meticulous about removing stems when I combust (or used to, I am pleased to say). However, I find that the grinder tends to seperate them out well, and since they don't "burn" they just do nothing, and get tossed with the ABV. So in short, I don't sweat it and don't notice their presence...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    More or less. I'm saying that finding the exact same spot is easier said than done, as miniscule adjustments in the dial make a big difference. Its not that hard; I am using my SSV all the time with no trouble. However, I do get mildly annoyed whenever I try to return the dial to my preferred...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I'm using a Mendo Mulcher, which people say is way too coarse and not really good for any vapes. Maybe, but I have no probs at all. I've compared it with my friend's Space Case and the SC particles do look a little bit finer. However, over the Labor Day weekend we compared both grinds in both...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    If it had an off switch, you'd still be able to adjust the temp if you wanted... It would be a convenience for those like myself who tend to leave it at the same temp for a given batch of herb. I don't milk everything out of ABV, I don't like the more sedative effects of the old stuff. I have...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    the "off" switch is to turn the knob back to the left (counterclockwise) until it clicks. The lamp on the front will turn off. No need to unplug it. I wish it -did- have an off switch though, so a preset temp could be left alone. As for your knob losing grip, you could try to shim it with a...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    "this design flaw" = what exactly? Is there actually any evidence any launch box has ever caused a dangerous situation? I am very puzzled. The photo of the "combusted" material was discredited above; the material was not combusted, and was not ground in accordance with the instructions. I...
