The Magic-Flight Box

[hellomyfrients]

Personally I am on my sixth? box after owning over 100 vapes, back to the genesis from 13+ years ago.

In my decades long journey with all forms of cannabis ingestion, I've never had a healthier relationship to the plant than when using the LB. Simply how it is for me, YMMV.

For power lately I decided not to use their battery thing and instead bought a variable voltage USB-C to DC adapter on Amazon for $8. I use my 140W-max USB-C power bank that I already have for charging my laptop/phone/video games/etc, or my little power brick that I use for charging my laptop. The cables don't bother me, I think putting the battery in the vape would just be another form of planned obsolescence. You can use any USB-C powerbank forever this way and purchase something that has actually high quality cells that can take the cycles, that's usable anyways outside a vaping context. It literally lasts for days powering the box.

This week I've used it to reduce my distillate oil intake 90%, which feels amazing for my throat.

Maybe it's because I'm a tinkerer or because I've had battery degradation on vapes where the company no longer exists, but this is the only way that makes long-term sense to me.

Could you post a pic of what you’re describing? I think a number of people would be interested in your set up and perhaps making one of their own. That includes me! Thanks in advance!

here it is with the usb-c bank, the cable is a bit long but it doesn't bother me I just shove it in the pocket --

... for the plugged in set-up, just replace the battery bank with any 45W+ USB-C brick.

The only item you need besides the box is the "FARSENSE USB C to DC Adapter" on Amazon, or equivalent. If I were to do it all again, I'd probably go with a shorter cable, fixed voltage adapter, because setting the voltage when I plug it in is an unnecessary extra step since the box always uses 12V. Make sure the cable can handle 12V and the amperage (I had a rec with this post but it looks like it actually may not handle enough wattage).

My powerbank is the UGreen 145W 25000mAh, also on Amazon. I mainly use it for charging my laptop/phone/switch on the go so I already had one.

Everything works fantastic, including the temp control dial.

I've always wanted to try the launch box, so I was happy to discover that there is a "Grab Bag - Winter Solstice Special" on the magic flight website. They are offering a factory second launch box on sale for just under fifty bucks. I picked up a launch box and the accessory kit for $80 shipped. Should be educational if nothing else.

I've only had mine a few months and I really enjoy it. It's great plugged in. Battery life ain't great but one or two will suffice for a walk in the woods.

So glad you took advantage of the Grab Bag Sale! What did you get, if you don't mind explaining? I was tempted, definitely tempted.

i ended up purchasing a maple jeweled edition mlfb new from the mflb website along with a cherry finishing grinder and then picked up the second mflb with a walnut finishing grinder for really cheap on the entexchange discord ...

On their site it was the "star knot" pattern. Not a thing wrong with it (it wasn't a second). It was generic (no serial number) so it doesn't come with a warranty; but to be honest I don't see it getting a lot of heavy use. It's more a novelty to appreciate what I missed during a 30 year T-Break. Someday I want to pick up one of Eagle Bill's "shake and bake" vapes for the same reason, I'll roast some old CBD boof and marvel at how far things have advanced.

I've gotten both for similar reasons and I like them both more than I thought I would. I use the mflbs hiking a good bit.
