You'll need to pull a little faster with smaller amounts, they'll require less heat overall compared to full trenches. I've had great luck vaping enough to cover the bottom flat part of the trench, up to right to the rails.
I'll definitly experiment with that when my actual trench is done, tanks.
Depends on your grind size. I like about .125g, so split a gram into eight equal piles. You can also fit more kief in there than you can flower...
I am curios about this. I always scale out a .2g bud to crunch in the finishing grinder and can be sure to have it nicely fitting the trench without reaching out the even-area. the thick sticks of the bud remain in the FG of course, but i doubt these count in a lot in the weight. My herb has usually a 45-50% humidity.
So you and others are using between .1g to .125g to fill the trench to even-loaded, also the official mflb-FAQ speaks about .1g each filling. Do you know the humidity of your herb?
I wonder if i have to find a way to get my herb even drier than now to enhance the vape or prevent resin building up underneath the trench.
No worries about the time ive been inand out of doctors offices and hospitals pretty much every day of the last week and a half, before that i was visiting family. Never head of North Rhine-Westphalia but i did my googling
. My brother has lived in Germany for 11 years now first in Stuttgart now he is up out of the valley i forget the name they just moved recently. Well if you want to daydream check out wedmaps.com many places have photos of the shops you can admire.
I havent gottem my MFLB yet bythe time i had the money again 4/20 sales werent far off so im waiting rather impatiently lol for someone to have a sale with the celtic tree design. Ive found great priced plain sets but what can i say i want something artsy lookin
. If i like it i will get one of the package deals in plain for around the house and backup. If the top is glass i can always etch it myself with something simple.
So i cant compare but i have to say at night i love that i can just turn it on and not worry about it burning while it heats up by the time ive got myself tucked in its ready for me. MJ has been a huge help for sleep mainly in not waking up so much but as i find i can take a little more it puts me out faster. Last night i was out in 45 minutes instead of 3 or 4 hours without it.
Just a tip for changing herb mid week i get these

I number the top of each jar then i write down on a note card which # is what. I have 2 jars per strain one for fresh grind and one for what im still working on. Its been a very handy system for experimenting
. They are decently cheap and they seal well enough not to be terribly smelly. Its not perfect but good for us low tolerance folk.
Wow, i surfed weedmaps.com after the last vaping session and was found drooling in front of the screen by a mate 2 hours later. fantastic
My MFLB has the flower of life lid, but to be honest, sometimes i wish it had a clear screen. When lights are low it is really hard to see the status of your herb. But on the go, where you want to use the MFLB mainly for, it never is a problem, daylight seems always bright enough to light things up.
But i am already thinking about a spare box in case of emergency and already ordered the orbiter and a dart stem out of curiosity. Be warned, it's a money trap
Thanks for the amazon-link. These things look exactly like the official abv-containers from mf. i wonder if they are the same... i already got one of the official ones but one isn't really helping. so really easy switch between strains i need at least two. I will search if there is anything compareable to find here...
Spot on. Occasionally with a new batch, I'll get excited to try it out and load it while it isn't fully dried out, and that does indeed cake the screen up much faster than normal.
As for scraping the rails, I personally have ruined 2 MFLBs this way over the years. The one I just had replaced had the tiniest little bit of screen lifting off of the rail and it was completely ineffective in vaporizing the material, even when fully dry and ground with the FG. I need to be more diligent with my q-tips and ISO!
Hi vertigo,
can you go a little bit more into detail how you ruined your boxes with qtips and ISO?
I own my box a year now and it blowed through roughly an ounce since then. i used to clean the box once a month with qtips and iso and am scared to damage it when i continue this habit.
my process is als followed:
I empty the trench and brush & blow it out as good as i can. I soak one end of the qtip full of iso and gently slide over the metal surfaces, giving it a bit more pressure on the rails where there is usually a bit of resin build up.
Then i heat the box for 30 to 60 seconds and soak the other end of the qtip full of iso and get gently slide above the rails again. now the build-ups come loose easily and the bars are shiny like day one again.
After heating up again for 60 seconds to let the iso go away cleaning is done.
Am I doing it wrong? Can i damage the screen with this behavior as well? The thing is, if i don't clean my rails regular, the resin accumulates really quick and all the loose trichome dust sticks to the rails.
Also noticed a shiny "lake" of resin through the trench on the wood beneath to the stem-hole. As said before i vape my herbs at nearly 50% humidity and wonder if i should change any habits soon to prevent damage.
Greetings,
