Hi,
I just received my mflb today and unlike some of our friends here, I have been more than impressed by it. I was surprised by the size of the box, much thinner than I expected. This was my first time using a vaporizer.
When I first tried to use it, my box looked almost exactly like the picture vapedg13 took, maybe my herbs were a wee bit finer. Initially, I had tried using the acrylic grinder that was included for free; it did not do a very good job. I resorted to using a shot glass and scissors. In between hits, no matter how I tried to shake it, the brown and black bits will go to the bottom. This and likely poor technique resulted in uneven heating between my herbs.
Despite these problems, I did get very high and was very satisfied with my purchase. I had filled only half of the trench it was not completely vaped. The foam ring in the battery hole is also very good idea, much easier not having to pull out the battery myself.
Questions:
1. How do I get the herb finer other than buying a better metal grinder or coffee grinder? I have read something about taking a few hits to dry the herb out and crumble it with your fingers, will that work?
2. There is a rubber ring that separates the wooden part of the box and the mesh, what is it for?
3. Should I wait 3-5 seconds before drawing or should I start immediately? I have heard both.
