So I received my mflb the day before I left for vacation. Still on vacation but it has been over a week and the mflb has been getting regular and almost exclusive use from me and 1-2 other people.
The first time I used it I combusted a little bit of the herb in the trench and ever since then haven't. It really only took us a trench or two to get the hang of the little box.
At first I really wasn't sure of it. The vapor had a wooden taste to it and always tasted like it was being vaped at a really high temperature. But like everyone says, and even the owners manual, getting the perfect hit just takes some time and really does become second nature. I still only use the 'slow long draw' with it because I feel like I can control the temperature better and it's really the only way I feel like I want to.
But man, I can get some mouth watering sweet hits from this thing now. I have never combusted herb in it after that first time and neither did anyone else that used it.
And when they say it's
stealthy it is not a joke. I have been hitting this thing in bathrooms where the house is filled with people constantly wondering around, in the backseat of a car with people in the front, walking outside behind people, in parking lots, walking around downtown, at a beach, etc. The point is, in all of these places there were tons of other people. Not once did anybody ever ask us or even look at us, or even look like they were wondering what the hell we were doing. Nobody can tell what you're doing when your "hand" is up to your mouth and if you are taking hits about 10 seconds long or shorter there really isn't any vapor at all. What does come out is easily masked by things such as hairspray or fresh air.
The first couple days of using it we were getting maybe 8 hits and the herb was pretty brown. Now I am finding that I can get about 15-16 perfectly timed hits and the herb
still has decent amounts of flecks of green. It really is amazing and I can really stretch out a whole trench throughout a single day if I don't want to get absolutely shot out every time I smoke.
The batteries were one of the biggest downsides to the mflb for me before I bought it and even after I was a little worried about always having to carry them around. The thing is though, I love having batteries. Two is a perfect amount for just me using the box. If it was always going to be me and 1 other person I would get 4 but I find two pretty perfect right now.
Even the person I used this with every day went home and than raved about how good they liked it. They have a firefly and talked some junk when I first got this but now are thinking of even selling the firefly because the mflb smoked better, he liked the batteries and even considered getting a finishing grinder for the firefly, to maybe improve it because he liked the fine grind. But I said why not just get this since it's made to fit perfectly. I've come to realize that having to recharge and have your portable out of commission while you do it is very inconvenient. To have a steady rotation of rechargeable batteries that you can grab at any time was the smartest
* thing about this box.
Well that's all I can think of for now. Time for breakfast but if I think of more I will update this little review.
*Maybe not the smartest thing but one of!
