Well,
I've finally got around to writing my review / thoughts after a few weeks of daily use.
I LOVE it. I had an Iolite before and I've already sold it. I'm still looking into getting an Arizer Extreme Q for home use, but the flight box is definitely going to be seeing tons of use in the future. I spent many weeks reading up on the differences and of what each vaporizer had to offer, and eventually ended up purchasing both to try out, so I'd like to give a little feedback on the differences for anyone there deciding between the two.
- The flight box heats up in ~4-5 seconds vs 1-3 minutes for the iolite, which for me is a huge benefit. It generally takes me 1/3rd to 1/2 a trench to reach the desired state of mind, which means I can push the battery in a take a few tokes, the whole process taking about as long as I would be waiting for the iolite to even reach optimal temperature, then leave the rest for later.
- You can see the herbs and mix them around in between hits unlike with the iolite.
- I must admit I do like the concept of the iolite running on butane, disregarding peoples complaints about it's lighting part giving out over time, as you don't have to wait on batteries to charge like you would with the iolite ( thought I've never had to wait on a battery to charge yet, as I got 2 extra free from puffitup.com).
- As far as stealth, I personally think that the iolite wins by a longshot, as to someone who has little knowledge of vaporizers it doesn't look like something someone would use to be getting high. This doesn't really matter too much as I rarely am using it in public. Today I was at the beach for a surf session and took a few hits off the light box before I went out with people around and no one seemed to care(might be because I'm in socal ).
Initially I accidentally caused a little bit of combustion in my box, as I took far too long in between the "sips." It seems to be a learning process... it takes a bit to get used to the concept of your lungs controlling the temperature in the box.
If anyone is deciding between the iolite and the magic flight box and has any comparison questions I didn't get to in this post I'd be glad to answer them...
Thanks,

^^^^I've grown to love this technique. I much prefer it over the long slow draw; it's less irritating to the throat, as your only breathing in maybe 1/3rd or 1/4th of the time.lwien said:I used the sipping technique that JD has posted in his vids.
