I think it's less irritating in native mode because it's easier to get instant feedback on the effect of your draw on the temperature of the vapor. Vary your draw in native mode until you get one that easily gives you the desired temperature... practice makes perfect!I always thought the opposite ... short stem = more irritation ... I was wrong! I will try to use my box in native mode. Thanks guys!
The vapor path isn't so direct either. It's not as angled or pointed.I think it's less irritating in native mode because it's easier to get instant feedback on the effect of your draw on the temperature of the vapor.

Edit: weakest setting barely powers the light, highest setting = cashed trench in 3 milky water pipe rips. I don't know why I didn't get this sooner.
So, why didn't you just hit me up and say something? I'll try and get some attention, but calling them "worst customer service ever" wouldn't light a fire under my ass, ya know?
EDIT: Hope they can get to you soon. I've let 'em know.
Thanx BDV ,
I had a change of heart , I didn't want to enlist others to fight my own battles .
I thought it would just resolve itself , like with most companies I've dealt with . ( no enlisting needed )
But thank you again .
Yes , I did " try " to light a fire , but I think my match got distinguished
Update :
1 reply went to my spam on 06/27/12 . ( 2 days after )
Why did that happen ? When their generic auto reply got thru ?
Their reply was another generic answer , stating the reasons why I may be having problems .
ie ; stock batteries , broken trench etc...
The same info that was on the warranty claim when I was filling it out .
They gave me links/vids to learn how to use and FC forum .
But an apology is warranted on my part ;
I apologize for not checking my " Spam " .
Now what ?
I still don't have a working mflb .
And they left it as " we look forward to connecting with you and addressing your issues " on
the spam . I've sent 2 subsequent e-mails to them since with no spam replies .
Only my last e-mail contained the words " WORST .... ".....oh yeah , I forgot ...imo
I will try to make contact again with MF .
Question ;
Now it just lightly browns the herbs and giving off " no vapors at all " .
The new batteries gets hot if held in , but only lightly browns the herbs , no vapors .
Is that covered by their life-time warranty ???
If not ,
The End .
I'll move on .
TYiA
The charger seems to be working .
Red lights when charging . Turns blue when finished .
I also used the same charger to charge the old batts.
The old batts didn't even produce vapors or get hot in my hands .
So , I don't think it's the charger .

Yeah that's also very true. A grind should look slightly courser than table salt.I smell too coarse a grind. It has to be fine to make goodphysical contact with the screen. Close doesn't count. Fresh material has to touch the trench or it's no show.
Hey P-Hey thanx for responding stuey and OF ,
But the batteries get hot in my hands if held in ?
Very fine grind ,
3 steps ;
3 piece oem grinder
then the Volcano orange plastic grinder
then my thumb and finger .
Yes , dry and very potent buds .
35 years of MJ , I can not settle for anything less .
I get it thru Med/dispensary( I'm licensed ) and my " local " guy .
But I'm positive it does work with semi-moist grind too , in the past ... also the sweetest . imo
I've stated before ,
When you're into vaping , you better have lots of iso around .
Regular schedule cleaning regiment is needed , agreed .
And I've done so .
I have " man-upped " on my idiotic errors of combusting more than once on the mflb .
I hope that does not ruin my warranty ?
I just want some communication/answers between me and mflb .
Besides their generic auto reply , that took 2 seconds to get back to me .
Is that too much to ask ?
Thank you again people for helping
The design of the LB keeps the need for cleaning to a minimum. (For the record, I rarely clean mine and I only do it for aesthetic reasons, never because performance has dropped.)
I wasn't going to say anything, but I have to agree. I have never used ISO on any of the three LB's I own, and never had a need to do so. I just use the PA to burn off debris, and then use the provided brush. That method has always worked for me, and my units performance has never diminished.

I can't do much on holidays and weekends, man.
Last I spoke with them, I was told someone would contact you. Check those emails again. They always include that cut and paste on their responses. Also it typically tells you, the next steps to take. If you followed their directions, then elevate it to the next level. One of those emails should have exact instructions of what to send.
I'll try again tomorrow.
I'd filled out the warranty form . ( How come , we are not allowed to click on more than 1 problem )
Sent it this past Monday 06/25/12 8:45 p.m. (East-caost )
I have yet to hear " ANYTHING " from them .
I kinda feel I'm being " IGNORED " !
P.S, i don't know how to add images, sorry for my stupidity
...(P.S, i don't know how to add images, sorry for my stupidity)
Thanks for your use suggestions for the PA. Just rx'd an email that mine's been sent.Yup! I knocked my PA down to ~30% power and I can get a dozen really good tasting hits... and then it starts to fade away, then 60% for a bit and then 80%. The taste is sooo good when you have some prime specimens.
(Disclosure at the bottom) Anyways, I put together a quick comparison album of the vape and the power adapter for anyone that's casually browsing right now wondering about size (and not wanting to check back in the last couple hundred pages ): http://imgur.com/a/eACWc I can't see the first picture, for some reason it comes up corrupted to me. If it does the same with you, here is another seemingly fine upload of the first one: http://i.imgur.com/ppb4g.jpg
I did not show the other half, the actual part that goes into the wall. Imagine a 5 foot cord that looks like an old cell phone charger, with the little brick on one end. Yup. Has a small green light that indicates power.
The box was, as requested, as plain as reasonably possible. Just a simple priority mail box with "Shipping Center / MGFT / PO BOX etc" or something along those lines. Out of curiosity I google'd the PO Box number, and the only things showing up have no relation to MF, and they're actually not even in the same state hahaha.
Also included was a simple instruction guide, a little ad with some key points of the box as well as some links to what I assume is this thread and the vaporpedia article.
The power adapter has, in essence, once again justified my random purchase of a Launch Box. My batteries will pretty much be collecting dust now since I have this, unless I'm unable to get private access to a wall, in which case I'll fall back on my batteries. The adjustable temperature is a godsend. I can drop it to 25-30% power and get flavorful rips, and then crank it up a fair bit and get the heavy stone I'm after, or I'll keep it around 40-50% if it's a good sativa. The size of this thing is another plus. It's not bulky at all, and they also sent me a small felt bag to put the PA in. Same material as the one that came in the tin, just in a bigger size. I could actually fit all of my gear in there (minus the water pipe) if I wanted to take this somewhere else. I also opted to receive the little booklet thing for free, I've read a few of the pages and it seems like an interesting concept. I might read a few pages a day and reflect on them just to stretch it out Also, my receipt that was in the box had a little heart next to the booklet listing, and a personally signed "thank you" from a mysterious "E." Thanks!
Disclosure: When I first started browsing this forum, I was very glad to see three things: 1) most of the manufacturers of these vaporizers had accounts here and were willing to answer questions, 2) people who saw any problems with their products weren't hesitant to state them, and 3) they weren't shy about letting people know that the vaporizer they were reviewing/talking about was a gift/heavily discounted/etc. The transparency of both the people making them and the people using them was really helpful for me when I was lurking here. If someone was giving a good review, it was because they liked it, and (hopefully) not because it was an incentive for a new free shiny vape Definitely helped me make my decision, so in the spirit of helping newbies like I was helped:
I have not, in any way, shape, or form, been approached by Magic Flight to do some sort of "undercover good review" or any shilling or any of that shit. I have Marfan Syndrome and I'm in a good deal of pain, the steroids they give me to take make me have horrible mood swings, the opiates they give me make me want to puke, and the migraine medicine plus my particular opiate could kill me in the wrong doses. I'm sick of this doctor/insurance BS where the doctor is afraid to actually treat me for the pain I have but can't exactly show, because one "wrong" move by him and the FDA will be investigating him. Oh yeah, and I'm just barely turning 21, so I'm sure that hasn't helped my case at all. Anyways, take it for what it is. A mini review with pretty pictures because that's what I like doing.
