but a good deal of your criticism flows from your personal habits and preferences rather than general shortcomings. Not everyone will have the same experiences.
I hope so!! This is why it is important to have different reviews from different types of users
This is also why FC exists: so users can share THEIR experience. If everyone's experience is the same, what's the point of 11,000+ posts in this thread?
I don't know a lot a people that would go on just one trench a day, unless you're a recreational user. Then, of course the MFLB is the way to go, I guess.
But if you're going to use it a lot - like me - well, sorry to bring it to you bro but there are certain annoyances with the MFLB. And this is what I was trying to put to light, now that I have another portable to compare it with.
Don't take me wrong, the MFLB is an awesome portable vape, but it has its limits too.
I want try to clarify some of the points you brought up:
- Inconsistency resulting from shaking and grinding is a user problem. Like many devices, there is a learning curve.
>> This is why I consider this a CON vs the NO2. I did not have a learning curve and I'm sorry but I used the MFLB much more than you obviously, and I'm not getting the same constant results that I get with the NO2 by doing nothing else than just sucking the damn thing.[/*]
- There is always some buildup under the screen. Clogging, however, is rarely a problem--or if it is, it has gone largely unmentioned here.
>> Okay, perhaps my words were a bit hard, but I do have to remove quite a bit of resin in and around the orifice, and had to do it more than one since I have the box. It's a bit tricky to clean that.[/*]
- The ease of combustion depends on the individual LB. I once left my battery in contact for a few minutes (not sure how many) and I got charred black material--but it never actually combusted. I know of other LBs where it would have, however. It's safe to say that careless use can result in combustion.
>> Believe me, with the PA I've combusted quite a few times. Not charring, combusting. When you see a little puff of smoke to continue to build up even after turning off the PA, you know you've reached that point.[/*]
- In contrast to you, I can stay comfortably zoned all day on a single trench. Three trenches can last me a week. It's not the LB's fault that your tolerance is so high. This is another user-dependent issue.
>> I think it is pretty obvious that I am not a recreational user - one must keep this in mind when reading my review... That being said, one trench for the whole day? Three for the week? Wow. I'm flabbergasted. [/*]
- The LB has temperature control: your inhale speed. I take it you mean it has no preset temperature, and that is true.
>> And it does not have constant temperature either. So sometime, I may run a trench at say 200C and the next one at 195C (this is an example). That's what I meant too.[/*]
- As for needing constant shaking, yes it does. It's not exactly a burden. It's a part of using it, just like stirring is with some other vaporizers. For me, it's just a simple flick of the wrist after hitting. It's trivial. I would never have thought of that as a con for the LB.
>> Well I guess that can become a burden if you use it more than 3 times a week. I'm more like 3 times an hour... [/*]
