My coffee grinder is a relatively inexpensive one that only has one setting. Maybe I'll lay off the button a bit & try not to grind it so finely.
Mine is too! The $15 clear top Hamilton Beach coffee grinder. Like BigDaddy said, I give it short 2-3 second bursts for about 15-20 seconds total and it's to my liking.

This is my liking:

Also, temporary replacement tube! I'm saving up for a Christmas present ;) This one will do me well, and when I get my other one, I may keep this around as an emergency piece, or maybe find a friend in need! Just about as wide as your standard 12oz bottle. The bottle in there was some Snake River Sarsaparilla. Delectable, it hit the palette quite well and quenched my thirst :science:

That is exactly what my product looks like after I grind it (I too have the Hamilton Beach coffee grinder). So with that fine of a grind, you don't get particulate matter in the stem of your LB?

Only if I put the box with the stem in my pocket! The screen just seems way too fine... I mean, have you seen the thing under a magnifying glass? I personally only get particulates when I move the stem around. For the longest time I had clean wand hash building up, but as soon as I took it out of my room (in my pocket) I could see it start forming.

Tubes are ageless. Especially, wide-base, thick glass, ice pinch tubes. Pair it with ac/percs, downstems and you can make any piece you want. Just with a nice showerhead like SSFG, Alex K, SYN... that tube would rip even more.

Always hang onto tubes, imo. That is, unless you have like 5.

WD40 and elbow grease worked for me. Some batts are tougher to clean up than others.

I can't believe it but i dont have any in the house. I tried ISO and it was only ok, still a bunch of stuff but I think they work in my MFLB. the question is will the sticky stuff still on do anything to the inside of the box?

It might. I wouldn't risk it myself, but I'm OCD about that stuff and it would just bug me. I'm sure it would work as long as a good connection with the negative terminal is maintained.
:peace:
 
I LOVE THE MFLB!! My baby sister is in the room right now, sitting on the end of my bed. She walked in as I was still holding in my hit. I exhaled normally and I'd held the hit long enough to ghost it. She didn't see a thing. Not only that, but being a high school student, she knows what weed smells like, but she didn't smell a thing I don't think, she didn't even look like she smelled anything funny. She walked right in my exhale path. Now she's gone and it's been a few minutes and she didn't come back (By the way, my parents are aware, it's just hiding it from my sister). What a terrific purchase. My lungs feel great all the time, yet I can still experience herb, and all the while it's stealthier, more wallet friendly, smaller, better tasting, gives better highs, and so much more. Now I understand why you all are so obsessed with vapor.

I used iso to clean my batteries as well and I found I was able to take all of the adhesive off using a cleanly folded up paper towel with 1 drop of iso right in the middle, leaving dryness all around that 1/2" drop site. Use one hand to spread apart the paper towel across a flat surface, and hold it there. Use the other hand to rub the batts on the taught surface over the drop of iso, using lots of pressure on the paper towel/table, causing friction against the dry spots, and the combination of the peeling from friction and iso dissolving all the adhesive off, my batts came out perfect. I did accidentally peel off the little paper circle on the positive side of the battery, but it doesn't affect use. And in answer to your question, a tiny bit of adhesive still on won't cause too many problems from what I can imagine, I'd just rather not for fear of too much sticking to the metal contact ring (negative terminal) inside and messing up the connection, or getting dirty. Hope it works out for you, best wishes. Cheers!

Goo Gone will work too. Just make sure you give them a swipe with ISO afterwards to get the oily residue off. :)

Citrus Oil based cleaners like Goo Gone do a good job on most of these glues. ISO can also help break it loose so you can scrub it off with paper towels. Naphtha (cigarette lighter fluid) often does it. Usually you need to let is 'soak in' a bit before wiping/scrubbing it off. Some of the glues can get brittle enough to chip off if you put them in the freezer for a while.

Yes, you have to get the glue off. You don't want it getting stuck inside the box to cause you grief later.

Elbow grease! I did it with just my thumbs for four of the Powerex 2700's... gettin' my late wake 'n bake going, love this new tube... but I saw some super nice sci pieces... starting at $200, heh. No shape to spend that money right now when I haven't worked in a week and a half with no real "come-back" time to speak of. Soon, though. I'm putting money away. Might get a nice Hitman or a SB. Maybe HVY? I'd love to have a small piece so that I can hit oil out of it and throw an adapter on it for vaping.

I assume you meant nail polish remover?

Good suggestion. At least I think it is, the guys who wear nail polish around here tend to collect on the other side of the Bay from me, we don't socialize as much as you might think.......

Exactly what I meant.

A new showerhead downstem, or a nice ac/perc. That's a nice tube. Its just got one of those cheesy wannabe slit percs. If the end of that downstem, is rounded and a bit narrower, what you can do, is drop a bead down there to close up the big bottom hole and open up those slits.

Oh, I'm planning on getting the showerhead downstem, but I kinda reaaaaally want a sci piece. The tube is great for vaping and I know it can only get better, but I'd like a "dedicated" oil piece. I like to think of the tube as more of a transition piece that I can always go back to. It wasn't a lot of money and I only ended up putting down ~$9 + the gas I used to get there since I won a couple bucks on a scratcher thing :)

I gotta say, after lurking here for a year, I got glass fever finally :(

Hey quetz, i bought a 2010 BC lowrider because i was so stoked on using it as part of my vape setup, but it turns out i only use it for smoking as of now, and barely use it that much since i live w the rents and its more of a valuable novelty item toe than anything :)

Anyway i wondered how often u guys vape using glass vs using ur glass to smoke? Is vaping w glass more for the hell of it where smoking w glass actually serves a purpose ie. Cooling smoke for smoother more monstrous hits.?
The way i see it, even with the power adapter, i doubt i could get my tube to fill nicely w vapor. Maybe i just need more practice with it tho since ive only tried it once..

..i have yet to post the vid that i promised.

This last month I've been using my box almost exclusively with glass. Usually I'll start the first 2-3 hits native/shorty stem for pure flavor, then I'll use dry glass with just ice added for the next few, and then once I start to not like the taste, I'll add some water to it. Then when I don't like that anymore, I'll save it for edibles/oil.

Only time I don't use glass, is if I'm on the move, errands, chores and such. If I'm sitting down for a session, then its ALWAYS with glass. Even with the MFLB.

Oh and I don't smoke.

Nice! Ive actually never used a bong or bub without water. Wuts the point? Does it still cool significantly?

I personally notice that when not using glass, just hittin my box native or w the small glass tube, that it irritates my throat n lungs to the point where i cough more than if i was inhaling smoke.. i think its partly due to the fact that i was trying to get the biggest hits possible instead of taking medium hits by sipping.
