I bought the MFLB for my first vaporizer (I had not smoked or vaporized or anything at all before) - and I could not for the life of me get the hang of it, despite many many attempts and much video-watching over several weeks (yes, I'm a noob!). After seeking advice here I purchased an Arizer Solo, and it was so incredibly easy to use. I did go back and try the MFLB again once I had some vaporizing experience under my belt, and now I'm able to use it properly - however I still prefer the Solo.
If you want to stick with the MFLB, you've probably got a lot of practice ahead of you. Good luck!
This is the analogy Max makes, an automatic transmission versus a manual.
The Solo has a temperature you can set, so if you change your draw speed it shouldn't matter, as the heat input should change to compensate (I'm not sure if it actually does have a thermostat inside). This is like driving an automatic, as the adjustments are all made without any user input.
The MFLB on the other hand is a fixed heat input vape, where you get one value of heat being put in at a constant rate (not accurate, but enough for this example). Given the constant heat input, you have to find the ideal range of draw speeds to vaporize the actives you are looking for. In other words, the learning curve is longer, and requires more user input, and therefore the analogy to a manual transmission.
I made the transition to vaping recently, but with the vaporblunt 2, I think the key is taking things slow. you have to breathe in slowly, when I first started vaping I was trying to hit it like the pipe, but its not the same.
They are fundamentally different. With combustion you are trying to keep enough air flowing over the material
quick enough to keep the combustion from extinguishing.
With fixed heat input vapes you're trying to keep air flowing
slow enough to absorb enough heat from the element/exchanger to vaporize the actives. That is unless you are using a heat source hot enough to combust,in which case you have to also draw fast enough to keep from combusting.
