Rubber band vs. new "Click Lock"... I found that the older version of the LB that used the rubber band to keep closed in the pocket worked o.k. until I pulled it out of my pocket - then the rubber band often rolled off the LB. This is mostly when wearing jeans or something with a tighter pocket...

Damn - thanks for pointing that out! with the % off of the $99, it worked out to $84, no tax, no shipping - that is a really good price. So I ordered a backup! Looks like some nice extras they send with it. :peace:

Sounds like that ball catch worked out great, willieR. I tried to backtrack and find your images, but couldn't. I'll look again. I have to get another LB just to try that mod. :P Here is a slight mod to my brass pin mod, adding a ramp filed on the underside leading over to the drilled...

Hey, willieR. Sorry, I got busy at work and didn't get back to thinking about this again until tonight. It's definitely looking like any sort of tool will have to go on the left side (as you are looking at the LB when taking a hit), and behind the circular trench. So I guess that means that...

Everyone has had great ideas for the additional mod - some sort of modified cleaning brush or tool that can be stored in the body of the MFLB. I was having a hard time getting a clear idea in my head of where the available places are for some minor drilling, so I made a very basic translucent...

I have a dugout with the pivot-type cover, but the slider would work best on the MFLB. Just uses a routed slot made with a Dremel tool. Whatever we use, whether it is screw-in, slider, compression, it would be best if it remains attached to the main body. Don't want little parts that have to...

Yeah, I was thinking maybe even shorter than 1.5". I have pretty large fingers, but feel comfortable grasping a 3/4" long skinny dowel. So picture a 1/8" diameter oil paint brush that has had it's bristles trimmed to about 1/4" to help with stiffness and its wood handle trimmed to the...

Thanks pakalolo. I'll have to get out the digital caliper tonight and get the accurate measurements. As a general comment, I'm hoping no one thinks that anyone is trying to start manufacturing these things! It's just the natural need to modify stuff that seems to be built into people since we...

Yes - I'll have to take a measurement for that. An extension of the drilled cylinder to a greater depth would probably rule out drilling in that area.

Wow - Thanks! I was just doing all the measurements... this will help a lot! :D

Cool... I guess we first need to find where the largest area of unused wood is. When I started really looking closely at the design and intersecting holes, I was reminded how Magic Flight made such incredibly efficient use of a small block of wood. So I guess we should: - Determine the...

I'll try that in a blank block of maple. Would need some sort of screw-in brass cap, I guess.

Now that you mention it, I think all they had in "On The Road" was joints! Yeah, it's a shame to lose even ABV in your pocket. I'm a total lightweight, so a half-trench could last me a couple of days, hence the need to preserve it and not let any escape. I've tried to recover a spill from my...

Thanks, kabob. Just tried it - works fine! Sometimes the rituals and tweaking of our devices are as much fun as actually smoking with them.

Not sure if this mod has been mentioned here, but I've been thinking about it for a while. I got tired of the rubber band rolling off the LB in my pocket and also having to keep track of it. So I added a very small brass pin, filed and polished it, drilled the wood base in the MFLB for it...

You've probably seen these vacuum pump things for wine. $11 on Amazon, extra corks available. I'm going to find a small bottle with an inside diameter that matches the outside diameter of the rubber cork. Will post results.

Yes - that one will last me at least a week, when using the MFLB :D

Hmmm... so that means I just need to smoke a bunch to see if I have a mind surge or couch lock. Whoohoo!

Is there any way to tell what variety a bud is just by looking at it? I'm from back when it could only be one of 4 or 5 breeds, but these days I'm at a loss. We don't necessarily have a choice here in the midwest - often buy with no hint of what it is. I couldn't find a thread dedicated to...
