Check out the beta thread http://fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=818. It's where the magic all began.Budz Bunny said:I would like to hear more about how the company came about, see some early LBs. Wonder if they were like early cell phones and the size pf a brick? HAHA
If you get these batteries you will need better than a pos (smart) charger. Why? These batteries are not charged when shipped and must be broken in. This is not possible without a smart charger. They will never approach advertised capacity unless properly broken in.heartvapor said:So the high capacity regular discharge batteries can take as much wear and tear as LSD types? For some reason I was under the impression that LSD batteries are less likely to have the "memory" effect, which is important for me, because as of right now I don't plan to buy a "genius" charger, I'm sticking with the one that came with the MFLB (4-battery 2-4 hour charger).magicflight said:Yes, it is. Any NiMH battery can be charged in any reasonably good charger. The better the charger, the better the long term results/performance with the battery. Occasional conditioning cycles are good too.heartvapor said:Also, is the new 4-battery charger that's included with the MFLB ok to use with 2700mAh regular discharge batteries?
What you want to avoid are chargers that take more than about 6 hours to charge the battery. Slow chargers are generally very inexpensive, but they have no smarts, and can *eventually* degrade the cell if used improperly. Faster chargers depend on being smart. If they are not sufficient quality, they can also damage batteries due to overcharging (ie, failure to detect when it is full).
No. If you are going to be regular about it, I would use the provided charger as is -- it is exactly what you want (that's why we ship them). In that case, you do not need to get LSD type batteries (what we ship), since you will be cycling them every few days in any case.heartvapor said:I plan to charge them every night, whether or not all of them have been discharged. Would those batteries die quickly?
So what high capacity batteries would you recommend?
What about these? http://www.amazon.com/Bower-XPB430-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274485050&sr=8-1
They have some decent reviews, someone said the actual rating was 2800mAh, so are those a good choice? Or should I stick to Sanyo 2700mAh? Please recommend a specific brand/model if you can. Are all 2800+ ratings BS? Because it seems that the highest capacity batteries on Amazon that have tons of great reviews, are the 2700mAh ones. But I'm not sure.
Also, could you (magic-flight) let me know about salvia? One person responded above, but he said he's not sure. Will it vaporize salvia extract (finely ground herb)? Will it fully vaporize it? thanks
Finally, I don't know if this has been discussed already, but I was reading about cannabanoids, and I noticed that the vaporization temperatures for CBD and CBN are very close to the temperature that the MFLB (and most vaporizers) hits. Is this a coincidence? Is this why a vaporizer high is different from a smoking high?
thanks so much
Did you somehow convert the MFLB so it would work with an ac adapter instead of batteries?nickzzzx said:I'm excited about trying the ac adapter because it will probably give powerful hits on every hit. And I won't have to replace any batteries!
How do you get the indicas to vape at very high temps so you get the sleepy effects?indigal said:I'm hoping to introduce mine to a few this weekend.
I've been sleeping great the last few nights and I think it's because I can vape up to the higher temp range in this and get some good sleepy effects from my indica. I totally love this thing!
Magic Flight is going to release a power cord for the LB, in a few months I think.GreenLeaf said:Did you somehow convert the MFLB so it would work with an ac adapter instead of batteries?nickzzzx said:I'm excited about trying the ac adapter because it will probably give powerful hits on every hit.

Leave the battery in longer and draw slower, I get it very dark- which gets me toasty.GreenLeaf said:How do you get the indicas to vape at very high temps so you get the sleepy effects?indigal said:I'm hoping to introduce mine to a few this weekend.

Just use it in the bathroom stall!heartvapor said:I went bowling tonight, and used my Launch Box with a friend in his car before we bowled. When we decided to inside, there was still some dark green, so I decided to take it inside and take hits without the stem, since I can easily cover it with my hand. Anyway, while I was bowling I was hitting it, and this girl kept giving me dirty looks. After a few minutes, she was whispering to her friends, and now they were all giving me occasional really dirty looks. Like they were angry that I was doing something. Then, way later, I wasn't hitting it anymore, and I go to the food bar and ask for a small plastic cup, and the guy asked me what I wanted it for. I said, "for the water fountain". I just wanted to fill up a cup of water from the water fountain, and drink it by my lane. He said, "is that really what you're using it for?", giving me the dirtiest look. He either saw me holding something up to my mouth, or the girl and her friends that were looking at me in the beginning might have told them. Most likely he just saw me putting something up to my mouth.
There's no way they could've thought I was vaporizing weed, because I was holding in the hits for a long time, by the time I exhaled you couldn't see or smell anything. I think they probably thought I was drinking out of a small flask, because that's kinda what it must have looked like. No one said anything to me, but they must have all thought I was drinking (and I don't really look 21, so underage drinking). Now I'll have to vape outside any time I go back there
Funny you should mention that. I have discovered the same thing.amusingduck said:last night I got my first really good hit, I think.
--SNIPPED--
third time, fresh trench. i put in much more than i did the first time. maybe that is a good thing. the first time i loaded a small amount because i usually do not need much to get high, but perhaps because it is a vaporizer and not a bowl, have more stuff spread throughout the thing is a good idea. took a hit. god damn. first time i actually felt it going in my mouth, into my lungs. inhaled, took the battery out, waited a few seconds, began exhaling a huuugee cloud of vapor, even started coughing. that was enough for me. way higher than the first couple of times.
really looking forward to trying it out again, hope i've gotten the hang of the thing.
So you definitely think that it's more efficient to take hits from one gigantic bowl, than to load up two or three separate bowls?Howie Feltersnatch said:In fact, I have started filling the box to slightly ABOVE the "shoulders" of the trench.
I get way more vapor faster and it caused me to discover something else:
I no longer have to turn it over and shake it or tap it after hits.
I hit it "native" (without stem) and as long as I didn't put TOO much in, a couple or three sharp draws after pulling the battery circulates the herb in a tiny maelstrom inside the box. It perfectly "shuffles" the material inside without tapping or anything. Kind of reminds me of snowglobes when you shake them. If you can focus that close to your lips you can see it while you do it - very cool to watch.
At any rate, this method makes it indispensable to me now, as I can load it up and carry it with me without needing to carry extra herb for loading. Depending on how I hit, 6-10 very nice hits are there for the taking. And I can generally do it all with one battery.
I would say it's one you likely would not regret since it's lower-cost & very portable. I'm very happy with it and I have a fully functional Iolite that I got for a portable. I will hang onto that IO, but it's not going to be the go-to portable anymore. Home unit indispensables for me are the PD & MZ. This one certainly fills the niche for a higher-temp vape when I want it. With some breath control and judgement with when to pull the batt you can go from low-temp still green or higher temp dark brown. I love the versatility of that alone.j42d0gg said:This is my first post, and it contains refrence to another vape, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put it; it's just, I have read through atleast 35 pages of this thread and I have my credit card in hand, ready to buy this baby.
Would it be safe to say that this would be the best vape setup for a a person who has only vaped twice with a friend from his brothers black box DigiVape (never even heard of it?) as a first time purchase?
