Since having it for two weeks I havent combusted any load, even with me doing small loads of keif in it I still haven't tasted the scorching flames of combustion.
I do have experience with other manual vapes and I've combusted on all of them atleast once with them.
I know this is a good thing but I'm curious if my LB is running at a lower heat than others or if I somehow have the perfect teqnique right off the hop?
Either way I wish I would have gotten this unit a lot earlier in my vaporizer journey instead of getting a wispr or the hammer :/ again, I love this vape!
Glad you like your 'new' LB. Not to worry, that's quite normal. As is it for new owners......I bet if you checked back you'd find something like half the new owners question if their box is defective and 'running cooler'. AFAIK not a single one was. It's easy to think so, obviously.
The LB has very little heat energy to use. Generally impossible to combust since the insulation is so poor (heat leaks away quickly in many directions) and heating only happens in that tiny fraction of the load actually in physical contact (no oven to build up heat in over time), basically unlike any other vape?
This is why you need fully charged batteries, fine grind, very dry herb and need to 'shake, shake, shake' between hits.
You're right, 'everyone should have a LB'. Or two.....
Regards to all.

Edit:
@KidFated. I saw a performance boost right after I cleaned along the contacts. Since I couldnt live with just one battery I got a pack of rechargeable energizer batteries. The label and the glue came off with ease.
If by "I cleaned along the contacts" you're talking about where the mesh is welded to the two rods that run down the sides (rather than the real contacts which are inside), DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN. If you read through this thread, guys have wrecked their units this way. Lots of them. Stay away, residue here is benign, disturbing the fine welds to the mesh is fatal to the box eventually as the adjacent to the break carries the overload. Over time it kills the box.
Keep the load very dry going in and it will not foul. And it will vape faster and better since you won't be wasting that modest power drying out your stash?
Forget Energizers, they've been tested to death. Too much internal resistance for the Box. At one time these were the best alternatives, there may be others:

The best, hands down, are the 'factory' units from MF (go figure), you really should consider them?
