Would an NO2 (other portable vapes) smell more than the MFLB?

if it burns off at a temp it doesn't vaporize
(boilingpoint isn't the same as the temp at wich it combusts)
I think the release is much like water, how higher the temp gets how more vaporizes, with the peak at the boiling point, in the case of water it doesn't get hotter then the boiling temp(as long as it isn't all vaporized), but since in weed there's a mixture of a lot of chemicals with different boiling points it won't have one boilingpoint but a boilingtraject, if you keep the temp low the lower boilers will vaporize optimally but the higher boilers will vaporize much slower, so you get less of the higher boilers
too hot at once and the combustionpoint of the lower boilers is reached

It would probably smell a lot less then other portables since lighter based vapes are part of that category. and lighter based vapes can make it easy to combust, which would smell.
It also reportedly smells less then the Iolite(which is always cooking the bud...and plastic) but assuming its for stealth then a MFLB is a better choice anyway.

Always cooking the bud...do you mean keeping the batteries in. If they were still in, would the MFLB be cooking the bud as well. (I tend to smoke a few trenches in one sitting)
Assuming there was no combustion would you still say the MFLB smells less? I plan to be using it for home use so the temperature readout and longer draw speed is a big plus. I don't need to use it outside, so its only the odor part of the MFLB.

It doesn't smell much when it's in use, but the trench packs a mighty odor wallop. Then there's the issue of your breath. Boiled plant matter tastes spicy on intake but smells funny to people who aren't partaking (even if they are a cannabis user) Bring mints, and wrap it in a fabric softener sheet when traveling with it in your bag or backpack.

It's not always cooking the bud. If it were, you'd be hearing non-stop hissing. It just reheats when the temp drops, as any vape with a thermostat does. As for the plastics used in the vape, they are high tech plastics, and don't really have the smell issues that the Vapir units do.Nycdeisel said:

Max, the temp may drop a bit by a few degrees and the hissing occurs to bring it back up to vaping temps, but heat is still being applied to the bud between hits when it's not hissing, is it not? Look how long it takes to get from ambient room temp to operating temp when the unit is cold versus the time it takes for the hissing to begin or stop when in full operation.

What's Your Function?
IMO, the iolite smells a lot less than the MFLB. At least that's been my experience.

I use my LB in my room all the time, and it produces absolutely no smell to speak of when hitting it properly (i.e. not combusting
) Seriously, you could probably use this thing with someone 1 foot away and they wouldn't smell a thing. The LB is the definition of stealth.Also, I hear people talk about how the trench will begin to stink over time. I keep my trench clean when not in use, and make sure to blow it clean and get any particle build up off after every use. This has made sure that unless I put my nose right up against the box, I can't smell a damn thing. Just take care of your LB and she will take care of you.

Quoted for truth!!
You cant leave th batteries in though, it would combust for sure.
As soon as the battery makes contact, it instantly starts to heat up and you shouldnt wait more then about 5 seconds to start your hit. Towards the end of the hit, you remove the battery, thus stopping the heat, and then you clear the vapor and bam you just took a hit.
Hope that helps you understand it better!

OK, certainly ambient heat is being applied. But I don't see that as making the vape have a stronger smell than the LB. In my experience, opening the LB can create more odor than an iolite that's been on and in use for a good while. The phrase "always cooking the bud", kind of implies more odor the longer it's on. But since the temp is limited with the iolite, I've never had an issue with it having a strong odor, even after it's been loaded and running for a half hour or so. Having the herb chamber closed, in place, seems to do a good job of limiting the smell. If I'm around others, I worry more about opening the LB for stirring the trench. With the iolite, you can just shake it, as long as you don't have it packed tight.lwien said:
The LB doesn't have any special 'low smell' technology. If you keep it clean, it won't smell excessively, but odor is more related to exposed bud and exhales than to vape design (unless the design avoids having to open the vape bowl up to exposure). In fact, the LB doesn't have a sealed design. When the unit is closed, ready to vape, there's still an air path down the right side, and out the back. If odor is a big deal for you, I'd concentrate more on keeping your vape clean (whichever model you choose), and taking small enough hits to avoid exhaling too much vapor.MLark said:
NO2 is crap. You are way over thinking this. Get a launch box. Smell is minimal to none if you don't burn your herb. You will master it in a day. I've used it many times in the same room with those who don't smoke / vape / or approve at all... No one has ever noticed. Spend a day with it by yourself and you will wonder why you ever made such a big deal about the smell.

Aw man im not worried about the MFLB smell at all. I just need to know if the Vapir smells as little as it.
Your right i am overthinking it but an answer would end it all for me haha. Want the Vapir but odor is number 1.

If you want the Vapir get it, but in my (and overwhelmingly popular) opinion the Launch Box is worlds better. I've tried both the NO2 and Launch Box and if I had went with the Vapir over Launch Box for my first vape purchase I would now have both and the Vapir would be collecting dust. Don't waste your money man, just get the LB from the get go and be glad you did.

MLark, between here and GC, you have enough info on the smell of this vape to write a book.

Everyone in the thread above as well as in this thread are suggesting that you get the LB, but regardless of the overwhelming opinions given, you seem dead set on getting the NO2 anyways.........so, I got a suggestion. Get it.

Fair enough. Well its the temperature control and hard draws that set it apart. Being able to release specific CBDs too. Taste of plastic doesn't scare me at all, could be nothing, and anyways i really dont care about the tiny stuff as with the things i do ill literally fall off a cliff first lol.
