    Discontinued Magic Flight Launch Tube

    Hi, Actually, I would be interested to see the carbon footprint of a lot of modern products. Nearly everything we use in today's world seems to involve more embodied energy than ever actually passes through whatever commercial item itself (consider computers, for example). No one ever seems...

    Hi, In regards to two screens, etc -- Honestly, nearly everything has been tried. We went through more than 50 basic design prototypes, each with different geometries, operating principles, etc, etc, and many of those prime revisions had even more specific sub-branches. Lets just say that...

    Hi, It is true that the screen is somewhat fragile. Normally, this is not a problem, but we do recommend that people treat it somewhat gently by not poking it with sharp/hard tools, pressing thru from the backside, etc. Again, if there is any problem, whether due to the user or not, we will...

    Hi, In regards to other portables, I can 'leak' that one of them aims to look much better, although it will probably be somewhat more expensive. They are currently works-in-progress at the Alpha testing stage. Beyond that, others in our company have explicitly requested that I stick to the...

    Hi, We do have plans to change the look. Originally, our focus was on total absolute efficiency. That shifted to a focus on power and portability. We are currently shifting our efforts towards visual elegance and utility. To do this, however, we need a better sense of how people respond to...

    Hi, The entire device is perpetually guaranteed. The customer-service model we are using here is similar to that of stores like LL-Bean -- if you can show that you own one and want it replaced, we will send you a complete new unit, no questions asked. It does not matter where or when you...

    Hi, I will admit that we are especially proud of the responsiveness and the compactness of the system. In actual practice, it is the difference that makes all of the difference! Once you have experienced the lightning-fast action, you will realize that you have encountered a genuinely new...

    Hi, Yes, in the photo the battery (only one AA rechargeable) is attached. In regards to the temp, I am not claiming "preciseness", rather I am claiming control. The user feedback in regards to the process is very immediate -- and this makes more of a difference in actual practice than you...

    Hi, In regards to the question about hands free, usually, the battery holder is attached to the pin nearest you, with the point of the battery facing away from you and below the pin (makes more sense when you have one in hand). In this configuration (see below), the weight of the battery...

    Hi, I agree that a vid of a typical user setting up and using it would be helpful -- it is in process. There is a technical vid of the device in action at http://magic-flight.com/mfvp/vid_test_5.htm On the main page of the magic-flight.com website, the second to last picture shows it 'ready...

    Hi, All shipped units use the same batteries -- the difference is in the battery charger. The "regular" battery charger simply plugs into a wall socket. The "USB option" is a battery charger that plugs into the USB port of a computer. The "USB option" also includes a USB power unit that plugs...

    Hi, In regards to papers, things do collect over the years. I will see if I can find something to have posted on the website that is not owned by someone else (possible copyright issues). Of our own research specifics, patents, trademarks, etc, it is unlikely that we will be able to publish...

    Hi, The prongs are copper clad steel (need both strength and good electrical conduction). The screen is 304 stainless. The main glass is Pyrex. The two end parts are hardwood (Birch). The draw-stem is Acrylic. The battery holder is copper. -- Magicflight

    Lighters!

    Hi, I have also found the Blazer torch to be the absolute best. I have had mine for more than 4 years now, and although more expensive, was definitely worth it -- I use it frequently. I have also had occasion (for various reasons) to buy many other torch lighters and have never found one I...

    Hi, The bowl is a heating element and it is also a screen. As the screen/bowl heats, a convection cycle is setup, and since the air passes through the screen, this convection current carries both heat and vape through the load. In the Launch Tube design, conduction, convection, and infrared...

    Hi, In regards to the question about "will I get shocked", the answer is definitely not! The maximum operating voltage is 1.2 volts, and that is about 50 volts too low to even be a question, so no worries there. :peace: -- MagicFlight

    Hi Phaang, It is genuinely a convection system, although both conduction and radiation play significant parts also. Obviously, if the user hard packs the device, the convection (and radiation) aspects will be lost and conduction aspects will predominate. Naturally, we recommend that people...

    Hi, This is in reply to questions asked by "Jacopone" in the resellers thread... Can you please explain what your vaporization process is? Its fairly simple really -- the screen/tray in which the material sits is an enclosure shaped heating element as well as a place to load the material...

    This is in reply to an earlier comment by "stickstones" in another thread... On that note, I checked out your site and have a suggestion. You refer to using your device as both vaporizing and smoking. I suggest you lose the smoking description, as it leads me to believe the maker of this...
