Ok,got vaked and wrote a tribute to the MFLB. This is the 3rd take, I kept forgetting the words. Still did, but I'm no perfectioonist... MFLB song

Name that tune...
lol. That was a nice song. I love the words lol. Oh and I can hear a bit of a smokers cough/voice yet you have a pretty nice singing voice. Is that all due to the vaping? Or do you still smoke cigs?

Yes, I smoke cigs like a chimney. And yes, I combust often enough, but vaping is still what I prefer. I can quit smoking for a day and clear up my voice, but I only play for my own entertainment and to share with friends. Thanks for the compliment, I'll try and record a song where I haven't stayed up smoking all night before smoking all day...

Herb: best aphrodisiac and stereo tweak on Earth
Recently heard about a carburetor some guy invented decades ago that got over 100 mpg.
The carburetor v-a-p-o-r-i-z-e-d the gasoline.

It struck me that the Magic Box also gets over 100 mpg w herb.
Wonder what other applications are possible through vaporizing...?

As for the inventor, he was found dead in the desert under mysterious circumstances.
There were suspicions about Shell Oil's involvement.
This was discussed in the documentary Gashole.

you can use the rounded end of the brush to iron that down flat..

oh :|
When I focused on the fold i noticed that the o-ring was coming out a little (see picture some post back).
Then I thought (...WRONG...) to reseat the rubber o-ring before bending the fold back... :rolleyes:

Is there a way to put the o-ring back, without a special tool?

The Oring is seated with a special tool (at factory only). I don't see yours unseated.
I think just gently "press" as if ironing clothing) the fold back shut, without worying about the Oring at all.
Do send the image to BlissSville though if you have worries.

I am wondering if my mflb may be suffering from the same resin buildup that was mentioned earlier in the thread... Here is a pic, We have had it for about three weeks and LOVE it! We used to have an SSV, but it was stolen.:mad: I was thinking of getting a new ssv or an arizer v extreme for strictly home use, but I truly love the way the lb hits. What do you guys think, am I not clearing it out enough?

^Just clean the stem. JDSupreme has a video where he twists up a napkin and puts it through the stem. I like to take a dry q-tip, twist the cotton until the end fits in the stem. I put the end of the tip in the stem, put a little 91% iso down the other end, then wipe it out a few times. Both ways work like a charm.

:peace:

To clean my glass stem, I take a q-tip and rip off some cotton on both ends so that it can fit through the stem. I then dip both sides of the q-tip in 91% iso and push it through one end and pull out the other. Then, I rinse the stem with water, and take a half sheet of toilet paper and twist it up so that it fits through the stem and that's how I dry it.

The stems accumulate resin pretty quickly and I love me a clean stem so I clean mine approximately every 4-5 days depending on usage.

Matthead: I use MFLB about 4 times a day and I need to clean the stem about every week. But it's so easy, just use a q-tip or two. You can use iso on the first one, but it's not necessarily. I also love how MFLB hits. For almost 2 months I have my box I've used my EQ only twice, before it was my primary vape. I keep it for groups.
 
Seek,
So the other day I was in the local computer shop and I saw they had powerex 2700s there, I was totally not expecting to find them locally here in Canada. I figured why not, I read so much about em before, I might as well grab em.

WOW is all I have to say, not sure if it's just the fact that they are fresh batteries, but they definitely breathed some new life into my box. It now runs hotter and also puts out a lot more vapor.

I wasn't expecting that all, considering that they should have the same voltage as the 2400s that the box comes with, but either way I'm in love my LB all over again.

So for anyone in the GTA, drop by your local Canada Computers, and you should be able to pick up some 2700s, they also had imodeon 2400s. They also had the C9000 charger for cheaper than I got mine for, and I ordered it online too. Either way, hit up CC to get some powerex batteries if you're in canada, well worth the 20$!

I now have 10 batteries (so manies) 4 Powerex 2700s, 2 Imodeon 2400s, and 4 from deal extreme which measure 2700mah, but are definitely not as good as the powerexs, but I'll keep em for emergencies.

Vito, just to clarify, the 2400 and 2700 refer to mAh, which is strictly a measure of capacity. Both deliver the same voltage (nominal 1.25V in the case of NiMH).

I have never understood why 2700s should do anything but last longer than 2400s. I was skeptical that there was any difference in performance until I tried Powerex 2700s myself. I am still baffled why they seem to deliver better than the Imedion 2400s.

I believe it's because they hold their voltages a bit longer than the 2400's.

Saw the curves graphed out on a scope over at the CL forums and the 2400's dropped off steeper than the 2700's, which is kind of logical considering their increased capacity, eh? (kind of thinking of this as I'm writing it. a bit vaked right now ;) )

lwien, that would explain it. I thought the curves would be pretty close, just that the 2700s would hold on longer. I never looked for comparative curves.

I also think it has something to do with the fact that a higher mAh is designed to hold its charge longer specifically in higher demand devices. Immediately after contact, it can probably stay closer to 1.25v than the 2400 can, and so it delivers better results, longer. I hope this is clear enough to add something to the conversation. I'm coming off a session with my WDZ.
 
mrfloopa,
Yep just like pakalolo I didn't expect it to be that much of a difference, just that they would last longer.

But yea it all relates back to the curves and how long they will hold their voltage. Either way they make a huge difference.

I'm totally spoiled on the WPA. Went away for a fishing trip this past weekend and used my LB without water for the 1st time in 2 weeks. Just made me realize how smooth the hits really are and how it really eliminates any throat dry-ness!!

Definitely. I noticed, based the capacities discharged with my C-9000 , that both batts seem to have a voltage (performance) drop when they get below 2000mah. Im assuming that is where the drop off is on the curves. Then with the 2700's you just get a couple hundred extra mah worth of optimal voltage. Got a link to those curves? I'd like to see them.

JD, I am gonna agree with you. Once I tried that smaller 10" pedestal bong.. I found it was light, and very easy to manipulate. I use it often now.
Friends have seen me use it, and I got such a good deal, I have bought the bongs for a dozen patients.
I am with JD ... the WPA is a solid addition to "the arsenal"!

Absolutely. The only time im not vaping the LB with water is when I can't take the bubbler with me. 110% hooked.

Also, I would have to recommend to anyone thinking about getting a WPA to make sure your glass is clear. IMO its really important to be able to see the vapor density coming out of the box to control your draw speed so you can keep the flavor great. Like a giant water filled stem lol

I may pick up a smaller travel bong like the one you have because my B. Wilson is never leaving the house :)

And the PA & WPA are the PERFECT compliment to each other!!

This is a test comparing voltage drops of the following:

4 x Vapex Instant 2500
4 x Eneloop (the newer 1500 cycle ones)
4 x Imedion 2400
4 x Powerex 2700



All from the following link: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?317990-AA-NiMh-Shootout!!

The Powerex 2700 are in the yellow. Notice that they start out with a voltage that is a tad lower initially, but they hold on to it longer. This load is with a 500mAH load which is probably a whole bunch lower than the LaunchBox demands which would accelerate these readings and may make the differential even more dramatic.

Now this isn't the scope curves that I was referring to originally (those are a bit more buried in older posts on that site........will continue to look for them), but this kind of offers up the same results.

Here are some other threads that may be of interest if you're into this kind of thing:
