I wouldn't recommend it over a modern vape but it's like having a Vapocane or something: it's surpassed by modern vapes, sure, but it's still as good as it ever was. In either case, they're pretty fun and effective. I recommend it more in terms of collecting fun vapes to play with rather than refining your collection to top choices.

And dubious health/build claims aside, I wouldn't consider it much of a danger. There's better, sure, and if you vape for health purposes, it makes sense to evaluate it carefully and perhaps use it sparingly if you want one but harbor concerns. All of this carries some level of risk.

It was a very cool concept and different from most other vaporizers. Innovative. Used with a battery the whole rig is very small and easily palmed or slipped into a pocket if the wrong person shows up. Have to pull mine out and try it again!

It’s not a great choice nowadays but it’ll work! I really enjoyed mine 13-ish years ago, but now it’s just a collector’s piece for me after moving on to more modern devices.

Main annoyance is that it uses AA NIMH batteries so battery life is pretty short compared to other budget options like any of the xmax/planet of the vapes/etc offerings. Would probably be worth making a thread in the AskFC forum for device suggestions since the rules here discourage device comparisons within specific device threads.

Yeah the batteries discharge fairly quickly so you always had to carry a few batteries with you. The unit comes with a little battery charger which works but not as well as a larger unit I got, Powerex brand, which gives you digital readout on the voltage for each battery and has programs you can run to keep the batteries in good shape. If you are going to use it much you kind of need a better charger so that kind of increases the cost of running this vape slightly.

What are the best commercially available NiMH Rechargeable AA Batteries for the Launch Box?
Can't answer that but they just sent me a notice for new Power Up adapters in stock. They're factory seconds so they're reduced:

According to a post on Reddit, MFLB is under new leadership and trying to get back up and running. The Power Up is part of that, and Orbiters are in stock. Their new leader expressed strong interest in 510 power regulation, and people broached the subject of a desktop design.

I think they should work with @TPV and put these into production:

I’d love a 510 launch box! Been missing hiking with it lately, but none of my batteries hold a charge anymore. Probably would still be just a novelty for me, but more variety in my vape rotation would be very welcome.
