    Magical Butter

    Each person reacts differently to edibles - and this is apart from individual differences in tolerance, so YMMV. But as a point of reference, here is EXACTLY how I ran my most recent batch, including measurements, brands, and strains: 1 oz of whole buds (Blue Dream). I DO NOT pre-decarb in the...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    If you're concerned about glass breakage, maybe try one of Ed's wood options - available in 2-piece telescoping (like the original glass ones) or single-piece wood version of water tool adapter. Lots of folks like the water adapters as a mouthpiece because it seals better than the telescoping...

    How Japan kicked US ass in QC

    The Japanese have a different idea of customer service (at retail) than we do. Or at least they did. A customer once told me a story about buying a camcorder in Japan. They had some sort of trouble with it, and the store they purchased it from not only replaced the defective camcorder, but they...

    I prefer altars myself ;) Yay melamine foam! I'd always wondered but only recently discovered what those "Magic Erasers" really were. They're great, but the Mr Clean brand are obviously way overpriced - the offer you linked to on Amazon for 100 is about what they get for TWO of the Magic...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Depends on the battery. Even assuming you mean the ones Magic Flight sells and ships with the Boxes. They've used a few diofferent brands over the years, and some hold their charge longer than others. Most any NiMH cell should hold a useful charge for a few days, up to perhaps a week. LSD (Low...

    Magical Butter

    I decarb in the unit. Here's my process: herb and coconut oil into MB2e 1 hour at 220 degrees (decarb) add lecithin 2 hours at 160 degrees (extraction/infusion) DONE!

    How Japan kicked US ass in QC

    I once worked in the factory service center of a major Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer. Back then most things were still repaired (tho replacement was just beginning to happen for some of the most inexpensive items like some portable tape players and clock radios) and returned to the...

    The Ubie

    While the Ubie is indeed stealthy in size, that stealth may become challenged by its small capacity. In other words, it will require more frequent refills than most other vapes. This can be mitigated by pre-filling several Ubies - they're inexpensive enough that you could buy several for just...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Not an "Aussie brand" but can you get Duracell down there? I've had good luck with their NiMH rechargeables.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Not having gotten any of the spacers myself to test, I can only postulate, but... Is it possible that the raised bit on one of the ends of the bottom of the Ascent's bowl might be contributing to the sticking problem, by encouraging a spacer dropped into an empty bowl to sit tilted (thereby...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Have you tried a factory reset? With the unit on, press and hold all three buttons on the front for five full seconds. Like this: Also, if you find that it still won't get beyond a certain temperature, it may be that the battery is a bit low. The battery indicator isn't always accurate when...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Right. I don't always fill mine that full - only if I'm trying to get as much in as I can. I thought the question was what the most that could be properly loaded into a trench. While I rarely do microloads, I often fill mine to "almost full" - at or just below the bottom of the rails. This...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I was curious after reading this, so I decided to see for myself just how much a full trench actually weighs. I'll start by saying these are MY results - yours may vary. Possible variables are the dryness of the herb, the fineness of the grind, and loading technique. My process for this...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    That's probably about right, maybe a bit more - depends on battery condition and brand. But that's not as short as it sounds once you realize that it's only the time the battery is actually engaged and heating the trench. Being as how the MFLB heats to operating temperature practically...

    Magical Butter

    Pre-extraction is probably ideal, but post-extraction is worth a try. It should do something, and it sure beats throwing the batch out. Personally, I decarb in-unit by running a one-hour cycle at 220 degrees. I then follow that with another two hours extraction-only at 160, but I guess for the...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I've got some of the Amazon Basics batteries - I picked up a 12-pack of the 2000mah. Not tried them in my MFLB, so I can't speak to their suitability for that purpose, but they've been great for other uses. Just as good at the Duracell rechargeables (which I have peeled a couple and successfully...

    Magical Butter

    I do coconut oil, and I use an ounce of bud for the minimum (2-cup) quantity of oil. Put in the oil and herb, do an hour cycle at 220 to decarb, add lecithin, then a 2-hour cycle at 160. Did you decarb? Either in the oven, as described in the manual, or by running a 220-degree cycle as I...

    Once again, I've been away from FC for too long and having to play catch-up. One of these days I'll learn. Partly it's easy to forget if I get too busy with other stuff, because it seems after a few email alerts if you don't come check it out FC (justifiably so) gives up and quits emailing until...

    Looks like both copies came through, so if you see this in time, maybe you can delete the dupe.
