hey guys! been lurking and reading this thread, decided to register finally.
i got my mflb around 6-7 months ago and it's been awesome. at first i was an idiot and left my batteries (and brand new 4-pack of eneloops in their own charger as well) in the charger all the time, plugged in. i know all about laptop batteries and giving them exercise to maintain full capacity but i guess i didn't think about it for the AAs i have.
decided to get some powerex 2700s and take care of them, with the smart charger they came with (C204W). it has a maintenance cycle that i've used on my practically dead imedions and eneloops and it really brought back a lot of capacity. they're still nowhere nearly my 2700s but it's nice to see i could give them to a friend if he got a mflb and needed more batteries.
moving on to today- i got my PA that i ordered about a week ago, and oh man, do i love this thing. i mostly vape at home (don't have a desktop vape atm, mflb is good enough for the moment as i don't have cash to blow on something like da buddha or an SSV. my mflb tends to run pretty cool, i wish i had one that ran hot... haha. my 2700s only give me vapor up to a 3rd hit (if i'm lucky) and then no matter how slow i seem to inhale i can't seem to get any vapor. now i still get pretty baked, but one battery usually gets me half a trench. i really don't know what the deal is, i don't think there are any holes in my screen (which really isn't too gunked up at all, i've only combusted twice and i cleaned with iso both times. however kief does love to get stuck in the corners and it's pretty much impossible to get once it's caked on there.
but i took 4 rips from the PA at full power and got a perfect hit every time, just a little vapor exhale, and not really harsh on the throat at all! my grind is very fine, i have a 2pc sharpstone 1.5" (baby grinder) and it turns my bud to powder. yet i can't seem to get thick hits. i always use native mode btw.
but even if my mflb does run a little cooler than it should, i got the PA now! like i said i mostly vape at home. if i'm bringing it to a friend's i can easily bring the PA too.
thank you magic-flight, thank you.
p.s.
i wish the cord was longer, and that the 3ft extension wasn't on backorder
edit: forgot to say, my MFLB serial is 34**** if i remember correctly.
