When are you gonna start taking orders for personalized glass pieces, Apathy?

 

[ApathyGlass]

Well I would love to hear more specifically what people are looking for. Is it mostly mouthpiece and pipe attachments?

 

[Vitolo]

You might want to take this over to the GLASS thread.. and leave this thread for the review of MFLB....
In that thread, you will find a few MFLB Glass related sub threads!

(to be fair to the manufacturer, and so people can search this thread more effectively!)

 

[ApathyGlass]

awesome, thanks man. Is it cool if I still post relevant mflb glass thing pictures in here?


also, just made a real quick 14mm gong adapter (thread in ^ that section)

 

[Vitolo]

I'm a vaporist same as you.. I just felt a bit guilty "derailing" the thread.
I am sure we all want to see all MFLB related stuff, cause we all love our boxes!.
Thanks for the link to your thread.. it looks fantastic.

Uncle Vito's rational-
I guess I feel like the threads under "Vaporizer Discussion" are review threads of each vape... and of each manufacturers newest additions to their "lines" as the makers release them.
MFLB for example released their PA here....
then, they released their WPA here...
You showing your MFLB stuff in my eyes is highly ENCOURAGED!!!
I just thought I would comment when the topic turned to "taking orders for personalized glass pieces"... before it went any farther... and help you all out by leading the topic to a "safe zone"!
I will go to the safe zone, and look at what is available also!!

To keep us on our derailed path, you may want to consider going to Etsy, Apathy. Mouthpieces wouldn't fall under their definition of paraphernalia. That's been my plan for when I finally get off my ass and get back to blowing glass.

 

[ApathyGlass]

absolutely, dont want to step on anyones toes!

 

[charliedontsurf]

The MFLB accessory market is big and untapped, and I'm glad someone chill is going to provide them for FC. I've dreaded that some Chinese sweatshop would eventually jump on it. BTW, Your form looks great too, nice maria on that mouthpiece. You should post pics of some of your other work so people can see what you do!

To get us back on track though, my "atomic" warranty replacement box has cooled down quite a bit. It's not quite the monster it once was and I'm a little disappointed, but it's still much hotter than the box it replaced. Two out of two boxes to pass through my hands have had a break-in period where they ran hotter than they would eventually become.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!

- Im new to the forum but after reading your threads for the past few weeks i feel like weve known each other for ages!! im your long lost brother back from vast travels!!! ahaha well anywho- I recently purchased my MFLB from amazon and have been very pleased!! I paid 119$ and recieved a vape case- new click lock version-couple batts-black tin case- charger yadda yadda yadda standard stuff- Ordered 4 pack PowerEX batts and a C-9000 charger- figured cut the BS and order those goodies now- recieved on time (prime shipping 2 days!!)

- Def a learning cure JD vids helped a bunch for basic techs- def not getting crazy milk vaps like vito - wondering if my unit is proper- did a basic test without drawing held the batt down and buds got browned- my buds while drawing (using a pulse pull method working really well) get black with particles still a dull green- cant seem to get a consistant even BROWN color- just a charred half and half. kinda strange- shake after every hit!!- only had for 4 days- still getting my methods down- just a color issue- im happy with my results other!

- Still debating on the PA my first purchase was a EQ and thats been my hunker down desktop beast! Im not in need of a powerful home unit but am i missing out on my MFLB's max potential??- like most i wana buy all the ad ons and goodies for my toys!!! For nowi guess i will practice my draw and master my method!!!

- Well Thats it for now thanks for sharring your nuggets of wisdom!! I look forward to being a active member of the FUCK COMBUSTION community!!!!! FUCK COMBUSTION!!!!!

Welcome BigDankNug. It looks like your're on the right track with your LB.

Def a learning cure JD vids helped a bunch for basic techs- def not getting crazy milk vaps like vito - wondering if my unit is proper- did a basic test without drawing held the batt down and buds got browned- my buds while drawing (using a pulse pull method working really well) get black with particles still a dull green- cant seem to get a consistant even BROWN color- just a charred half and half. kinda strange- shake after every hit!!- only had for 4 days- still getting my methods down- just a color issue- im happy with my results other!

JD's videos are really helpful (and fun to watch! ). One thing you may want to try is grinding your herb more. It should be a real fine grind for the LB. This may be why you are getting partially scorched pieces with green. Your grind should resemble ground coffee in texture for optimum browning. If you are having trouble getting your grind that fine, crumble your herb after one or two hits. Those hits will dry out the herb enough to crumble it to a finer consistency.

Actually, everyone, they took the "review" out of the MFLB thread name since there is much more discussion than actual user reviews... As much as people talk batteries and PA, WPA, Id say custom accessories (peples pouch pictures, ah alliteration) are a welcome addition.

Hello everyone, I just made an account but i've been a pretty long-time lurker. a while ago the Maha Powerex 2700mAH batteries were recommended to me to use with the launch box, but my question is this: is it THAT much of a noticeable difference between the stock batteries and charger as opposed to buying these with a charger? would everyone here unanimously agree that it would be worth it to buy better batteries?

 

[sydnee]

I use a Mendo Mulcher to grind my herb for the LB and since my product is always super fresh, I was having trouble getting a fine enough grind. That is, until I thought about using a mortar and pestle like the one seen here. I vape my herb a bit to dry it out and then I crush it with the mortar and pestle. Got mine on Amazon for a really reasonable price (it's actually a child's toy meant for use in a chemistry set or something). But it provides a really nice, very fine grind that is perfect for the LB. The mortar and pestle are tiny, but they're made of porcelain and they are the perfect size for the amount of herb I'm crushing. The only down side is that I have to use the LB brush to get all the fine pieces out of the mortar and back into the LB.

Just wanted to share my find with the group!

Woohoo!

Just received an MFLB for my birthday. Its beautiful!

How long should I charge a single battery to test this out? The instruction pamphlet seemed to indicate it would charge one battery in half the time.

What is the difference between a PA and a WPA? I am planning on ordering one of them directly from blissville but wanted to purchase the actual unit locally to avoid customs.

Thanks!

Zack

I have said many times, that I do NOT personally think the 2700 batteries are any better.
I have been through 2 sets of them as well as others, and ALL of my original powerex AA2000 (2400) STOCK batteries still work... more consistently and better and hold a charge better than any other I have tried.
This is the case in all 3 of my boxes.

 

[gusbus33]

that's interesting...so many other people have said that the 2700s are far, far superior. do you think it would be more worth it to get a power adaptor? and also, in the case that i do get the 2700s, would they work with the stock battery charger, or would i need to buy a specific charger for those batteries?

 

[JDSupreme]

Until the light goes solid, maybe 2 hours depending on how much of a charge the batts already had

PA: Power Adapter
WPA: Water Pipe Adapter

Both can be bought here: https://sales.magic-flight.com/

See me using them both together here: http://youtu.be/0Ui7pBU9U8s

I don't think Blisssville has either the PA nor the WPA, they just have box kits and parts

 

[gusbus33]

what would be the best batteries for me to get if i use the box maybe 3 or 4 times a week on average? i'm looking around the internet but getting mixed things, so i'd love to know what the general consensus is. and would it be worth it to get a new charger?

I mistook bliss as the website I had a power adaptor, car adaptor and water pipe adapter sitting in my cart, the MFLB one. Just confused by the vape and the acronyms. Nice to know I wasn't missing anything....

I was like WPA....wind power adapter? No fucking way?!??! Thanks for dragging me back into the twentyteens. I will be charging my MFLB batteries with a solar charger I have, but a freaking turbine would have been way better. Water pipe adapter almost as good.

Thanks
Zack

-Great grind advice Mom!!! - I was using a 4 pc large grinder followed by a 2 piece space case to really grind it further and NOW after 2/3 hits im pulling out my still slighty green not browned yet herbs and re-grinding them AGAIN in my 2 peice SC - re-filling and PRESTO evenly browned/dark poo!! getting alot better vape also! didnt think a powder was recomended but the closer the better im finding. WOW the more and more i vape with the MFLB- dumping and re-grinding are KEY to nice even browing and beautiful BEAUTIFUL vapes
Mortar pestle now thats hardcore ! bill nye the science guy!!!!
- as far as my experience with these powerEX batts i seem to be only getting 4/6 decent rips and then i feel like my batt is fading. I switch to a freshy and BAM good power ( even wants to blow it up) I have a C-9000 charger and have been trying JD's methods of charging at 800-discharge at 700 and im toying with this analyze refresh with some of my faster draining 2700's ( only been using for 4 days now- very noob on my C-9000 heard its the best! ) maybe im being overly sensitive to this batt issue as im still figuring out the basics of normal operation.
-Also im loving this long stem they gave me- really usefull in being able to see the vape form and leave with my pulse pull drawing - havnt had really good luck with the native method - everyone claims its the best way to learn how to draw on the box - tryed the short stem also just like that extra length for my visual fix look at that vape!!!

I commissioned a clan of beavers to build a dam in my back yard. They watch me as I use a hydroelectric power source to power my PA and vape my face off enough that I start chasing beavers around the yard

The ones that come with the box.
The kit is Complete as it comes, and the battery is the best.
The reason the Kit is sold as a "complete kit" is so that there is nothing else needed.

well that's what i thought for a while, but i've been using these same batteries for 10 months now, and i feel like they aren't working close to as well as they used to. is it time for me to replace them anyway because it's been so long? i never thought about how long these would last. or maybe my charger is faulty or something, i don't know...

 

[Vitolo]

10 months is a long time. It just must be time to replace!!
