I've had the LB for over a month now and decided to finally write a quick review here, being it was this thread and the beta thread that convinced me to purchase one in the first place. I figure I owe it to the FC community, where I have been lurking on and off for quite some time now.
Ordering process:
The sale through bisssville was quick and painless. The LB arrived the same week I ordered it. When it arrived it came in a small box, nice and discrete. The charged batteries are definitely a plus, as I was literally vaping within 2 minutes of taking it out of the box.
Initial expressions:
This thing is small. Everybody says that but it's for a good reason. It easily fits into my small carny palm. In use it really looks like I'm just covering my mouth while yawning. The only drawback to the feel of the device is the battery angle. I think that some type of in-line battery placement would be ergonomic for me but I guess it just comes down to personal preference.
Actual usage experience:
Drawing slow is the way to go with this vaporizer. I've found that it takes at least a week of moderate use to really get the draw technique down. Despite this, sometimes I'll hit it like one of my home vapes, which can be frustrating until I realize I need to slow down. Also, I would like to add that "mouth bonging" serves to really increase the intensity of the hit. My friend (who purchased one after using mine once) likes to cough after a hit. He can do this with uncanny regularity with the LB.
Effects:
It works. Quite well, I might add, if you've got a good consistent draw technique. It can get you anywhere you want to go providing you regulate the temperature by leaving the battery for different times at startup. The longer the battery is left in initially the thicker/stronger the hit. Won't really replace any of my home needs, but it is quite sufficient to get at a nice level throughout the day.
Taste:
One drawback to this device is the taste. There is still a distinctly "woody" taste to each hit. This is my biggest complaint with this box. I know it's probably not feasible what with the size of the LB but an all glass vapor path (except for the screen) would be nice.
Overall:
I use this vape more than any other. The fact that something this small works so well is reason enough for me to use it nearly every day. This thing just plain rocks. If the taste issue could get resolved somehow it would be a near perfect portable.
P.S.
Get yourself an aftermarket battery charger and batteries. I would recommend the Energizer NiMH rechargables. They work well and fit well. I have no complaint with these batteries. They last me for 2-4 trenches, which is enough for me to get through my day by "sipping" on the LB. I do, however, always bring some spares along just in case.
