The Magic-Flight Box

[aesthyrian]

Some boxes (I've heard the new ones are normal again) are like this. Mine also. But it happens only with very fine and dry grind (usually it happens only if the load is semi-vaped). I've never lost a lot, only some bits sometimes. Good carrying and shaking to minimalize this.

What new boxes? This problem is because of the new boxes and their new air intake channel which is much deeper and wider than before, and also not a consistent size from unit to unit, which I still have heard no explanation for? I posted a photo of this a few pages back.

I love the MFLB, but the "updated" air intake channel takes a lot of that love away unfortunately, I just can't accept that the air intakes are different sizes on different boxes. Kind of makes performance between two units drastically different. Not good quality control IMO.

I was so high I thought I was a camera. And this was off of less than half a trench full.

Are you sure it was pot in the trench?

Positive lol. Like i didnt actually think i was a camera, but everything was so movielike. So i started doing a pan of the room like a camera.

^ That's great. My MFLB gets me high enough that I worry about dieing in some stupid way that sets the movement back 50 years (e.g. choking on a tater tot while high). But that's after a few trenches.

ETA: Vito, can you measure the base on your new water pipe? I might have you send me one sometime soon.

I found my launch box! YES!
I am now a man of the wood, I have proven myself in this test of aptitude and now the spirit of the forest swims within me!
AWWWW YEAAAAAAAA
it has no visible damage at all, seems to be working fine
Cheers! Time for a reunion trench.

 

[Vitolo]

stoney.... the base of the pedestal type bong is 3.25 inches- height 10 inches.

So some great woodsman located a lost box!
??Go Mechtradevil20.. it's ya boithday...go Mechtradevil20 it's ya boithday!??
congrats!

 

[Seek]

What a good job finding such a small wooden device in the woods.

 

[Mechtradevil20]

Why thank you kindly Vito & Seek, it was indeed a tough job. But I had great motivation in the form of the MFLB of course.. and it infuriates me when I lose something and I KNOW where I must have lost it, but can't find it there anyway.
In this case, I was so angry at myself for losing it that I couldn't allow it to be lost and gone forever unless I'd expended all my energy that I could expend on the situation.. and I did! It took a little weed-whacking, problem solving, and memory scouring to locate it, but in the end I emerged victorious!!!

I swear, when I finally saw the sweet, polished maple of my launch box once more, I let out a whoop and a holler and a joyous noise, a scream that encompassed how all the emotions that had started as frustrations and fears were now abandoned, and their energy had to be released as a sound of pure happiness and exultation!

Hot damn, I am happy, you guys. I hope you all have as tremendously great an evening as I will now have.

Good to hear! That explains the next few lines.

Funny thing is, I got my MFLB back today too!

 

[compnerdd6000]

OK...

Veteran men/women who've been "in the trenches" for some time...

I've had my box since about February (loves it).

I got the WPA (loves that too).

Here's my problem: My box has now started leaking oil like some man-made sieve in the ocean. Every time I hit it, it just poos everywhere... a nice, slow trickle of amber goo. It gets all over my hands, my lips.

I tried to get in there and clean, and then ended up scaring the shit out of myself as I bent the christ right out of the screen... but it never tore, so I could bend it back, and it functions properly.

I guess it's just a hassel. I always have to have wipes around to make sure it's clean... I've sat it on the bed and gotten the goo on my sheets ha. It's a pain... this is like, the only downside to the box I've seen. I don't know if my new batch of meds is just too resiny (I can't imagine it's anything better than what you legal cats are getting from your fancy shmancy dispensaries) but yeah...

Thoughts? There is no safe way to scrape the oil... and even if I do it super careful and pull out a couple toothpick loads of goop... it just comes right back a'pourin. ha.

At least I use the stems... if I hit the box natively, it'd be getting all over my mouth.

You should see it trickle into my glass and acrylic stems, though. It's gnarly. And then I'll take a little piece of bud and push it through the stem, and I get this super resinous little bud to puff on.

It REALLY leaks when using the new WPA... probably because the hits are so much larger, and the unit is kind of at an angle.

What do you guys do when this happens?

 

[Hardlinemonk]

No goo leaks out of my box, something seems to be wrong with yours. I contacted the MFLB people from their website and they are sending me a brand new one for an issue I had with mine. Give them a shout about the situation, nothing should be leaking form the box.

 

[wake n blake]

Guess I'll shoot my favorite people and company a little e-maily-poo.

 

[Mechtradevil20]

Good morning!
This may not be new to some of you but I recommend checking this out if you've seen There Will Be Blood.. Or in fact, whether you have or not, check it out! Hilarious

I don't really agree with that. There have been a few reports of similar leakage. I think it's not the box so much as the way people use it.

The resin build-up can only come from condensed vapour. If you don't clear the LB after hitting it, the vapour will condense and accumulate. Vapour isn't always visible and if you stop inhaling after the visible vapour is gone you can get a build-up as described by wake n blake.

 

[buschwusch]

fuck yeah, ordered my mflb yesterday from puffitup, the owner is quite a nice guy
now the ~14day waiting period begins

Where do you live?
I have gotten MFLB Kits from PuffitUp in 48 hours. Are you outside of the USA?

yeah, i'm in europe.
randy told me the how long it will approx. take he shipped it the next day, now it's in the hands of USPS and the customs to work fast.

 

[Seagullmeat]

And it finally arrives
I bought a SSFG Straight travel tube for the PAWAMFLB

 

[Cannabuss]

Finally used the ISO I picked up last week and cleaned the stem and my MFLB. Big thank you to Vitolo and JDSupreme for your amazingly helpful cleaning videos!

My MFLB looks all shiny and new again!

 

[smokemirror]

Hi all!

I'm using the mflb for a week now, i'm in love!

With all the cleaning, the corners of the 'trench-fold' are coming up a little.
I now have to clean this space behind the screen with the brush, is this ok for the screen?

 

[wake n blake]

I always clear out my box... I pull out the batt and continue to hit it after every hit... always have. That vapor is MINE to inhale haha.

Seagull, nice piece man. Enjoy.

 

[Vitolo]

Go to youtube, and get busy. Search the terms "cleaning MFLB", and "MFLB Cleaning".
There are vids that show you how to clean it.

Being very careful not to poke at screen you can go in with a soft pipe cleaner to clean.
you can dampen (not wet) the pipecleaner in Iso to loosen the oils. ( you are trying NOT to wet the wood)

 

[momofthegoons]

smokemirror, welcome to the forum. Too bad about your LB. I would contact Magic Flight for a warranty replacement. That tear is covered under your warranty.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Magic Flight. They had contacted me a week or so ago and had offered me a beta version of their WPA. I had turned it down since I don't have a water pipe at this time and didn't think I would use my LB with one. After coming on and seeing Vito's vid with it, I couldn't believe I had actually turned down and blown this opportunity. So, I contacted them and asked if I could change my mind. Within a day, they emailed me back and said it was on it's way. Not only is it a wonderful gesture on their part (giving me a WPA), but to extend the offer after I had refused it is so cool. Thank you Magic Flight. I look forward to trying it out.

 

[Vitolo]

You have two choices. That is a "crease".. and nothing can get through... but .. you can use the rounded end of the brush to iron that down flat.. or send that picture to them for them to replace the box.
Mom... glad you liked the vid.. Try to use a small thin wayter tool, so that the draw is not to "open".. and do little"tugs" of air into it.. rapidly.. to fill that bad boy.
I claim to not use much water, but I have been since that day!.. Fun!

 

[momofthegoons]

Sure looked like a tear or opening to me.... glad I'm wrong.

So Vito, you would suggest a straight tube rather than a beaker type water tool? I don't want anything too fancy. I want something small and discreet.

 

[Vitolo]

Mom, I used both for the WPA. I found that the straight tube was much easier, and natural for the MFLB.
This particular piece of glass is 3.25 inches on the base, and stands 10 inches high.
Here is a video showing the bong empty, and letting you see the size of it well.
10' Glass Pedestal Bong
Be very careful buying glass.
I have seen the same exact sized bongs online for $100.
In the headshops, the prices vary all the way up to 100
At the very headshop I went into I paid $39 after tax
A few days later the same bong was $64
Next day they sold out... and yesterday they had one more in for 34.95 ($39 after tax)
It came with the diffuser/downstem.

I had the exact same issue in the same corner of my box. The screen when it starts out is a very large screen that is crimped and pressed into that shape. There are no acual seams on the screen, but rather "folds".
