After a bit of experimentation, I can report that trying to compare potency was somewhat of an apples vs. oranges situation. I'd have to say that perhaps color is still a useful, if only relative, indicator of potency. My (manually made) ABV oil seems to be at least twice as strong as the oil I...

Looking again at the photo, that new metal piece looks like it could easily just be added to an existing PA (2.0 anyway - I'm not sure if the "battery" end of the original PA is the same). I might write them and ask about it.

AFAIK, the oven runs with it open, so that would be the way to go. Open it up and support the upper part somehow (a MFLB on its side works well) so that the toxic fumes just go up and out into the air. you can also then use a cotton swab or paper towel and stick to try and wipe it out while hot...

Also - have you tried heating the thing up totally empty and taking a sip? or with just herb (no beads, flowers, etc.)? HAH! I'll bet that's it! And that would confirm it! If that turns out to be the problem, and some of that burnt plastic has stuck in the Ascent's oven, a "dry run" or two...

It looks like it gives a larger and easier-to-grip surface to facilitate insertion and removal. It would be way cool if they offered it as a DIY retrofit for existing PA2.0 units. Sure could use some strain relief on that cable, though. A wire spring type would not only work well, but it would...

I just discovered that a MFLB turned on its side is the perfect height to use as a filling stand for the Ascent - Vape Synergy!

How do those compare with bamboo skewers? I first discovered those when I found a couple of them included with a desktop vape for use, presumably, as stirring and screen removal/reinstallation tools. I've since picked up a big bag of them at the grocery store - those are about twice the length...

Finally got to try out my Magical Butter machine last night! I won't bother with a full review, as there are plenty of those, but I will make a few observations. Power consumption: I haven't found any mention of amperage or wattage in any of their literature, nor (surprisingly) on the unit...

You may be right, especially regarding more modern gear. Of course now I'll be paying closer attention every time I see one.

That power connector is OK. Mine looks that way too. I'm sure you've seen others (on other equipment or devices), and most are nice solid pins with a rounded end, since they are made from solid stock. The one on the Ascent is a hollow tube. At the very end notches are cut out and the resulting...

The whole thing... the button on top next to the mouthpiece. When you turn it back on it will be in the default normal mode. If thre is any other way to exit the programmed sessions, I don't know about it, but I don't think there is.

Yep - just power it off and back on to return to manual mode.

I'm still enjoying excellent performance with these: which I described in greater detail HERE.

OK. I just got off the phone with Joey at Magical Butter and he confirmed my suspicion that it was an intentional change. The 190 filter bag is indeed what they are now shipping with the machines as they've determined it makes straining of the final product easier. He mentioned that people...

I'm pretty sure acrylic was the "stock" stem until more recently. Not sure when they changed over though. Possibly within the past few years, because I remember seeing some online ads that mentioned glass, and others acrylic for the included stem. And I imagine there was plenty of overlap time...

I started my vaping career with a cheap box-and-whip vape. It got the job done, but was tedious to use, took too long to warm up. and was neither portable nor stealthy. I learned about the MFLB, but was put off by the steep (in my naive opinion at the time) price, so I picked up a Dragon Lite...

It's HERE! My Magical Butter MB2e arrived today - YAY! I have a question that perhaps someone here can answer. In the online photos it shows the included filter as a Purify 90. The Purify Filter 90 is also sold as an accessory. Included with my machine, however, is a Purify Filter 190. What...

Oops - my bad. You're right, as confirmed by checking their website, where they even list "glass draw stem" in the included parts.

The best mouthpiece, IMO, is none. This is usually referred to as "native" mode. It's also the stealthiest; without an extra tube sticking out, most users can palm the box and battery, keeping it mostly, if not fully concealed even while hitting it. Looks kinda like you're putting your fist up...

Playing catch-up again, as usual :). First, a few replies: I like my power adapter. Doesn't really improve vapor quality so much as it just makes it easier to get more consistent results. I've never combusted a LB, but I bought a used one on eBay for a very good price that the previous...
