    The Magic-Flight Box

    Most simply cut and peel. Some use stickers and/or glue. To get the gunk off (if there is any), you might try that "goo gone" product -- it seems to work well for most of these things. -- Magic-flight

    The Magic-Flight Box

    It would seem so for the most part. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule. We have firm evidence that it is not be the case for all situations since some chargers are not as responsive to the needs of the NiMH chemistry as others. At this point, the overall consensus...

    Hi -- yes, that would be fine. Please report back and let us know how the RS batteries hold up in comparison to the stock ones (We believe that having independent reviews is a good thing for everyone). -- Magic-flight

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Neither -- it is simply more convenient and more efficient that way. By filling, you will be getting move overall vapor per charged battery. The battery will provide the same heat regardless if it is loaded or empty. Therefore, any part of the unit which is hot but not loaded is wasted heat...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Yes -- it should work fine. However, we do recommend that people load it with ground, unpacked material until it is level with the groove (but do not fill the chamber), even though this may be more than you would normally need. The instant on and instant off heating means that you can control...

    Hi, One caution in regards to using Radio Shack chargers: We had one customer report that they had significant overheating issues once they had used a RS charger on the stock batteries a few times. I am not sure which specific RS charger was used, yet we do know that somehow, repeated use of...

    Hi, The BlissSville.com website was affected by an unscheduled outage Monday morning until about noon. The service has been restored/fixed and should be available again now. -- Magic-flight PS: the VapeNow kits should be the same as the BlissSville ones.

    Hi Squeeky, Yes, it will. The stock charger is not fast, but it should work for any NiMh battery. Higher capacity batteries may take proportionately longer. If you are thinking of obtaining more batteries, I would recommend getting a charger that can take four batteries and charge them in an...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Hi Bluntfaced, I am the rep at the moment -- Apologies for my delay in answering (I was hoping that someone else who perhaps had more cold weather experience would comment). To my knowledge, the Box has been tested down to 40 deg ambient and seems to work just fine. However, although...

    Hi Chucku, Please be aware that the tape cannot go completely around the battery -- the metal parts of the Box need to make electrical contact with the battery (this is why the label is removed) -- the tape can get in the way. If putting tape over only part of the battery, you may need to turn...

    Hi, Not supposed to be that fragile -- usually they are fairly robust. However, they are hand made and there can be issues. Send us a private email with your address and we will send a replacement. -- Magic-flight

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Hi, If people are finding that they need to consume more than one battery per loading, we suggest the following test to confirm if the unit is out of calibration and therefore eligible for a warranty replacement: 1) load the Box with some ABV material that is only slightly/lightly brown; 2)...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    This is getting looked into. There are a couple of other related issues that we are also trying to solve. One trick to use is to put the battery in with the Box open and empty. Bring the Box near to the face with the open side towards/near the lips so that you can feel the heat. With a...

    Hi, In regards to the LED, one of our engineers researched that already. When the Box is in operation, the voltage on the rods is fairly low -- too low to turn on a LED (less than a volt). The alternative is a low voltage incandescent light -- which when tested works reasonably well...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Hi, Yes, it was one of our products. It was an experimental point revision batch made after the main run of Launch Tubes. There was only a limited number of those made -- it is the "model T" version of the Tube, and is a fair product in many respects. We sold the batch to a subsidiary, which...

    Hi, Go ahead and try the corner retuck (a wooden toothpick is a good tool for this). If you have any troubles and/or are unable to close the gap (ie, if material ends up below the screen), please send us a private note with your address and Box number and we will send you a functional...
