I love my MF Box very much because it grants me the freedom to openly walk around my town and enjoy the delicious herbs that I love most without anyone else being the wiser to it. Cant do that sort of stuff with a bic!


I just cant get over how well it fits in my hand.....so concealable and low key. I love it!


I gotta hand it to this vape....it works well. It gets the job done.


Had the best session in my life with the little LB this weekend. Some buddies and I hiked up a trail to overlook our town. The sights and the vapors made it one of the best session so far using the LB..


Thank you magic flight for creating that priceless memory!

Hello, My Launch Box arrived today. I unpacked and intuitively put a few crumbs of herbs in and tried it out.


WOW, I love it already!


I like everything about it. I can not emphasize enough how important it is to NOT have to be plugged in. I have a strong preference to going outside and enjoying nature to medicate. Thanks for the great product.

It is small as shit! This thing just might get lost in my pocket!


I used it last night and really enjoyed it. It's the first vape I've used that got me whacked without much visible vapor. I treated it a little like a VaporGenie (VG) in that I kept stirring the herbs between hits. It's easy to stir with either a shake or a blow back into the chamber. This I like better than the VG because you can see your herb stirring and moving, getting into position for the next hit. I like the visual feedback. The ability to see the herb and move it like this (and its size) just might put it at the front of my portable lineup.


As for use, it already has its niche in my collection. If I want to vape in secret or quietly, such as in a bathroom or really anywhere, the Box cant' be beat. I love so much about it...the wood smell, its effectiveness, the stealth.


You've got to love MagicFlight's attitude as a company. They are making a product that they believe in. If you want an itty-bitty, stealthy, effective vaporizer that is portable and elegant in its design simplicity then the Box might be for you.

In celebration of 4/20, my mailbox contained a little box, in which was an even smaller little wooden box. Magic Flight had mailed me a Launch Box!


It is really beautiful. It's tiny, about the size of a small box of wooden matches. Not significantly larger than two AA batteries sitting next to each other.


The left half of the Box is taken up by the chamber used to hold the screen (and your load), while the right half of the box holds the single AA NiMH battery used to heat the screen. The entire top of the Box is covered with a 1/4" plastic cover that is attached in one corner, and swivels out of the way to provide complete access to the chamber. The cover is held firmly in place, yet is trivially easy to slide out of the way.


Magic Flight included two AA NiMH batteries which already had the wrapper removed for use with the Box. If you use your own batteries, you'll have to remove the outer wrapper before they'll work.


Filling up the bowl is easy and very secure.


You fire up the unit by pushing the AA battery all the way into the Box. You don't have to press and hold the battery in while using the Box.


I really like the operation the way it is - the battery is held pretty firmly in position. There is a down side to this though; you really must remember to slide the battery out a little when you're done.


You can travel with the battery completely removed (even if the bowl is full), or you can reverse the battery so it doesn't work electrically, but is held in place in its spot in the Box. You could also travel with the battery inserted correctly, but not pushed in all the way, but this makes it all too easy to accidentally fire up the unit when it's in your pocket.


Before inserting the battery all the way, I sucked on the tube, and was astounded to see the air patterns in the bowl. The finely ground load swirled nicely around the bowl. Another big smile.


I take a hit, and everything is fine, sweet taste and WAY more vapor density than I expected. Nearly as much vapor density as I get with my Volcano. This is really great. Even after more bowlfuls, I still don't really ever see much vapor in the bowl.


The Box holds WAY more than one hit. I think of it as a three hitter to twelve hitter. If I fill the bowl full, I get a dozen good hits, with the last hit or two not being very tasty. The last couple of hits actually seem to have more vapor density than the previous ones, probably due to my current technique which allows the screen to get hotter at the end. Interestingly enough, I don't get the "roasted popcorn" flavor at the end, just less good flavor and more grunge flavor. I'm a flavor kind of guy, so most of my experimenting was with a partial filling, about a third of the way full. This gives me three or four really good hits before the load appears to be done.


Speaking of which, the Box appears to do a good job of evenly extracting the good stuff. The load turns uniformly brown. If I pack a full load (12 hits worth), the outside does turn brown before the inside, but stirring between hits (either manually with a NON-SHARP tool, or by just inhaling too strongly through the tube, which stirs things up) takes care of keeping the flavor sweet though more than just the first hit.


It looks like a full load is going to be perfect when I want to share with a friend or two.


I FAR prefer the Launch Box. It has charm. It works better for my needs, whether I'm sharing with a friend or by myself. It's stealthy. It's easy to use. The Launch Box is nice to handle (it's a tiny package), easy to shake/stir, and easy to empty and clean.


The instructions say to only expect a bowlful or so per battery -- this is important!


I use the temperature of the stream to determine how hard and long to draw, and I don't miss not being able to see the vapor stream at all. I can tell if a battery is mostly depleted by noting how long it takes before the stream is warm. I use breath modulation to control the vapor density and temperature. Draw slowly as it's easy to inhale too rapidly and cool off the chamber to below the point you desire.


I had the opportunity to use the Launch Box at work for the first time yesterday. Work yesterday was in a 55' remote television production truck. About 20 people work in the truck at the same time, which is partitioned into four or five separate sections. The truck has a single ventilation system; if I open a baggie with really skunky stuff in it, everyone in the truck is yelling at me after ten seconds. Just opening the bag, mind you, not igniting anything, and I am NOT exaggerating (it happened once). So my assistant (and good friend) who sits next to me in the truck and I spent four hours and eight batteries vaping with the Launch Box while we worked. No one in the truck had any idea, and we were totally wasted the whole time.


This gave me the opportunity to see how hard it was to "teach" the Box to someone who was an expert smoker, but a neophyte in vaping (he had never vaped before). I explained that you controlled the Box by varying how hard and long you inhaled, and that it was very easy to inhale too rapidly, which would cause the screen to cool off too much and the Box to not work properly. I told him to wait ten seconds or so after inserting the battery before taking his first hit, and to remove the battery if he wasn't going to take another hit (or pass the Box) in the next 15 seconds. I also warned him that it would feel like it wasn't working because vaping isn't as hot and harsh as smoking. Since I wanted him to have the first two hits from a fresh load (for the taste), but he was clueless, I did the whole first bowl by myself, with him watching, so he could see how long a hit was, and so he could verify (for both of us) that no odor was getting into the truck. I reloaded the bowl, put in a fresh battery, and passed him the Box. After the first two or three hits, he commented that he didn't think it was working properly. At my insistence, he continued until the bowl was totally used up, but he was obviously disappointed.


Two minutes later he turned to me and mentioned he was whacked out of his mind, and that for a little wooden box that didn't work, it sure worked. smile


When the rest of the crew broke for a meal break, which left the truck empty, I put the long rigid tube from the Launch Tube into the Box, turned on the overhead lights, and let him see the effect on the vapor density using breath control. His comment was that he didn't need to see the vapor, and that paying attention to the temperature of the air stream was all he needed. He's sold on the Launch Box, by the way.

First impressions: It is an impressive little device that will certainly fill that portability gap for a many. It is small, easy to use and simplistic and I was able to use the first time with no problems.

I would say this is a great vape to compare mainly with any lighter based portable vape such as the vapor genie and I would compare it to the vapir oxygen at the far end to the ubie on the low end.


I have to say it is a very good solid little vape that should appeal to those who are looking for a vape to bridge small gaps of time between a desktop or home vaporizer.


The construction is simple and should not have breakage issues as other more complicated portable vapes have.


It also is a very fast vape to use, generally in the time frame it takes one to smoke. It also has very little to barely noticeable smell and it is totally silent. Do not expect much visible vapor but it does get you where you want to be.


Any where you may smoke a bowl, cigarette or whatnot you can use the launch box. I fit mine in an eyeglass case with a zipper, it holds everything perfectly or it can easily fit into a pocket. I recommend grinding your weed fine.


Keep in mind this is not a desktop/home vape such as PD, DBV, Vaporwarez, Vapor Bros, SSV etc. To think of it along those lines is to make an incorrect comparison.


In essence I insert battery wait a handful of seconds, less than five and take a slow long draw for 20 seconds or thereabouts, disconnect battery while still drawing to clear. turn MB over to stop vaporizing and shake shake side to side to get weed back in trench, insert battery, and start cycle over rinse and repeat and until desired doneness.


For those in the market for a quick inexpensive, functional portable vape that can be easily used in outdoor and indoor locations this little box just might be the magic you are looking for. It is with confidence that I recommend the magic flight Launch Box.

I got a II first and was floored with it, while its a true portable, it was not able (nor did I expect it to be able) to allow me to replace combustion completely, nor is it exactly ultra-stealth. I like it for in car use but wouldn't use it in public round people who shouldnt know because of the whooshing, even after you turn it off in a hurry, try covering the sound of several cycles worth of wooshing when someone interrupts you (or you get pulled over for that matter). No thanks.


Then, i got my Box. Less expensive, made in America (II is made in Ireland I believe, no problems with the fightin irish and their quality goods) by a like minded group or individual who gets my dough, which I happen to like.


But that is minor in comparison to the advantages of the Box over the II. Including but not limited to soundless operation, near zero time to optimum heating is reached, super small size, and that it has singled box-edly (i dont know don't ask) replaced my custom glass as my main device just because it is such a good one, I shit you not.


Ill continue with little things, because those combine are what makes something truely good. a snowball effect if you will. I have spilled my II's bowl numerous times despite the fact that I am leery of it happening now, its happened to others using my II with me too. I have never spilled herb from the Box, and I don't even use the rubber band for the top while its in my pocket loaded or ever.


I would never used my II while sitting next to someone who was not to know what I was consuming. The wooshing, of course being a major factor, heat up time to optimal temp another thing. With the II, I feel like I turn it on hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit. And eventually I'm like, woah, Im stonned. Whereas with the Box, its on, hot, and hitting. Your toasted. that quick, really. Then its cool and back in the pocket. nifty.


I have used the Box at work the last three days, on set. While people sit outside for their cig breaks I have something to do now, I play a little game. Every one that comes out and doesn't act like they smell herb, and/or figure out what I'm doing, I get a point. I lost count on the first day. I have used the Box sitting on a bench next to a non smoker (cig or herb) who was completely unaware of my actions, and at times there was noone smoking a cig at the same time even, 100% stealth certified as far as I'm concerned. I got a huge laugh out of getting ripped next to some friends on my crew who I know are straight edge, and the fact that they had absolutely no clue.


My II can definately get quite warm, hot even to the touch, Box does not get anything over lukewarm to the touch.


Id say one II bowl (I pack them fairly tightly) would be more than 1 trench, if only slightly. I think .5 of the II bowl is probably about right whereas .2-.3 is probably the Box capacity, and I pack the trench fairly tight too. Though these are of course general estimates. I don't own a PD so I dont exactly have a frame of reference as to what everyone here thinks is efficient but I consider the Box to be exceedingly efficient at delivering, I love it, its extraordinary and I don't use either of those words lightly. I hoped I would be satisfied with it but never expected to be so enamored with its ability to deliver.


I feel like the Box is able (if you hit it in such a manner because you desire so) to reach higher temps than the II, which is something for me anyways that is good. Plus the II's instruction manual straight up says optimal temp is reached after 30 min. Are you kidding me? I don't have that kind of time, I need a rip and go, sometimes.


Customer Service!!! While I haven no exp with II's cs, I have gotten a replacement Box for my "malfunctioning" (in quotes because the problem was so minor) unit, and am still shocked that I did. Just had to edit and add this.


So my II's niche is small but there doubtless. I just fucking love my Box, I don't care what Hen says, plastic, butane, and goodness knows what else that takes time makes sound and is larger and more expensive, vs a simple battery powered circuit hand made wooden american craftsmanship, smaller and less expensive, but even more importantly than all of that, and this is serious here, a device orders of magnitude better at consistently delivering desired effects, in my professional stoner opinion.

I'm a long time partaker of our herbal friend (15 years?) but only used a vape for the first time recently, starting with my own Box. I first heard of the Box on the Dopecast.


Firstly my customer service experience was extraordinary, pre-ordered back in May. Had a few email back and forth with magic-flight and they were always very fast in response and friendly, I am completely satisfied. Item arrived early June (I'm in Canada), I thought this was reasonable. It was 8 business days from shipping date.


When I received this I was up and running and in a good happy place within 10 minutes. The effect of vape, as I understood, was different from what I was use to but after a few days to adjust it suited me fine.


The quality of the device itself is of a high standard, whoever built this knows what they are doing. Its hard to tell really but it seems to me like it will last for a long time. I find keeping the trench clean, and using about a half trench full of lightly packed fine herb works the best. I get visible vapour every time.


I always wanted to switch to vaping but was never able to due to the high cost of most devices and also the size. This one made it possible, and for that, magic-flight, I thank you. Good job well done.

I loaded the trench 1/2 (not sure how many grams)... 1 battery vaped 2 trenches completely (colour was dark brown)... I left the battery in the whole time... good for 4-5 good hits continuously (had someone with me)... my wife said it was like "magic"... after 5 seconds vapor started and after a few hits the herb looked spent... did another trench with the same battery and same results... i was pretty vaked....


I am so glad I caught this product before buying the iolite (nothing against their product since I haven't used it) BUT what I do know is that for a fraction of the price I have something that completely does what I need it to do and does it well... I'm a huge fan of this product.... I have nothing against spending $250 on a solid product that works well (iolite) but I'm also one to not spend a penny over what is needed. For my needs this fits the bill perfectly.


One thing I've noticed right away is that it gets the job done quickly... with the cannon I tend to leave the temp at 11-12 oclock so the temp isn't too hot.. and i take several hits b4 feeling anything... with the box it only took a few hits (although the product gets spent much quicker)... I'm sure its all the same in that u get most in your system at the end with each product... but the lil box only took a few draws b4 lookn' finished... altho I am using 1/3 less than I am in the box vs the cannon


I think this is a device that can develop a cult following..... i've been vaping in front of people and then afterwards I'd ask them if they smelled anything... people would be like 3 ft way (indoors most of the time)..... and the only smell they picked up on was the burnt popcorn when i was just trying to get the last vape out near the end..... but before that they couldn't detect anything.... what i like most is the freedom of this thing.... it really is plug n play easy... reason why I did not want to get the vapor genie...


So a 10/10 for this product... the price point was perfect for me... it is an amazing piece of art.


Good job to the team of Magic-Flight and thanks to the FC board for pointing me in the right direction with the great user base

After several days of anticipation, my Launch Box arrived earlier today and I am very impressed with it. I love the small, discrete, natural looking design and I also like the nice words about love on the back. It's totally silent and leaves no odor behind, which, for a first-time vape owner, is very nice. I even love the little pouch is comes with, making it much easier to carry all the Box gear together!


After trying out the Box with a couple friends, I'm amazed at how effective this little thing was. Between the amazing efficiency and all the other nice qualities (no smell, no smoke, healthier). Good bye smoking!

Mine came today. After 2 trenchfulls of fooling around with it, i have it figured out. I'm impressed ... it works better then expected! And yes you can pull some damm heavy clouds, if you leave the batt on for a bit. The only draw back is getting up enough batts to keep up with the demand of use. Besides that, this little thing can be practicly used anywhere, and without having to light something, even adds to it steath.


I'm very happy i got it. Nice job Magicflight

Pics and videos do not do this thing justice -- it is ridiculously small -- I'm talking miniscule. I have run one trench so far and I think that it definitely lives up to my expectations.


I love this thing. I'm sitting in my office and I've been on the same battery for about 11 or 12 solid hits. I think there are a few more in there. I have got to say, this thing is super efficient. I am feeling pretty good right now and 2/3 of my trench is still nice and green. Slow and steady wins the race for Minnie (my launch boxes new name -- I think it's fitting).


Minnie and I have spent the last 2 days together at work and I am in love. This thing is great. I can leave it on my desk turned around so all you can see is the Love quotes -- and it gets no attention what so ever. I close the door a bit take a couple of hits and then back to the internet.

Ok -- so i tried it out tonight, and while I realize there its lots to learn about the simple device, I must admit I am very happy with my purchase.


I have really been looking for a vape with this stealth. If I was in college this would be the shit to use.


In regards to stealth, portability and quick use, this thing is freaking awesome. There is a curve to learning it but thats no different than anything else.

I just got my Box and PD both this weekend. The Box is the most superawsomecoolthingiveeverused! (sorry about the run on).


The Box works great. If you follow the directions to the T, and use a bit of common sense, one should have a good vape session.


The buddy that told me about the Box let me vape a few trenches out of his Box before I bought mine. That closed the deal for me. I suggest though, following directions to the T.


Like others have said before on the FC forum..... a good investment would be some heavey duty re-chargeables and a rapid charger.

I am the biggest PD fanatic around and thought I would never be impressed by a vaporizer again. This Box is amazing, nice visible vapor on my 1st hit ever, nicely toasted off 1 trench.


I can load it up and ninja through an entire trench in probably 90 seconds, gets me where I need to be VERY quick.


Draw rate/temp control is awesome, I get a nice even brown everytime, haven't scorched/combusted yet on this device.


Compared to the VG, it's much easier to use in every single aspect.

I appreciate the easy draw compared to my Myrtlezap. Definitely a keeper.

Got mine on Friday (5 days ago).


First Impression: Wow, this thing is tiny.


Vapor: on the lighter side, unless you leave the battery in for a while (though the taste can get iffy)


Effect: Medium-Strong, high energy vaped. Can't wreck me like the SSV, but I can't fit the SSV inside a pack of smokes (heck, could probably fit 2 or 3 inside a pack of smokes).


Stealth: Top notch. Flip the battery inside your pocket, press it in, count to 5, hand to mouth, inhale for 5-10s, back to pocket, flip the battery. I tested it out at Costco and the grocery store - completely silent, no smell (well, if I went for 10s there was a slight odor, but nothing that could be noticed more than a few feet away).


Tips that helped me the most:

- Fill it to just below the top of the trough.

- The short tube (or no tube) is the most stealth.

- Little rubber bands that come in the box are perfect for keeping it closed in your pocket or bag.

- If you get other rechargeable batteries, you only need to rip the top 1/3-1/2 of the label off.

- Get some Eneloop batteries and a LaCrosse 9009 Charger for heavy use (2hr charge, battery reconditioning).


Verdict: This is the 'Protopipe' of the 21st century - simple, compact, durable, self contained, travels well, silent and deadly like a ninja. Get one.

Just got this thing about a week ago and have used it enough times now to comment.


It heats up in five seconds as advertised. If you have used other vapes and understand how to draw and control your hit, the learning curve is minimal. For those out there that say no visable vapor, I say whatever.... you're probably not going to get huge clouds, but it produces good vapor. Not as tasty as the PD in my opinion, but I didn't expect it to be a taste machine.


Bottom line.....it is at the right price point, and is a really good travel item. It heats up quickly and is stealthy, and produces good vapor. I couldn't see using it as my main device at home, but on the road there may not be anything better than this out there currently. My two cents.

I only ordered the bare bone kit and a few extra whip pieces. They sent me a FREE BATTERY that was already fully charged!!! This was HUGE for me cause I was not expecting it until today and was gonna buy the charger this morning. So I had to try it out. OMG....my first buzz of the day and it rocked for a few hours!


It is super small and stealth!!! I can't believe how small it is..... smaller than a business card..... I mean really small.... it's so awesome! Thanks Magic Flight for making the best portable vape out there!!! The Launch BOX is the BOMB!!!

Used it last night for my first time. Very interesting since this was my first Vape experience. I found the LB very cool and very well made and easy to use.


I only loaded it about 1/3 of the recommended amount and added a little leaf clippings in with a small amount of bud (all dried already and grounded). So not as strong as just bud only (On purpose because it was late, I did not know what to expect, and I did not want to get totally whacked).


I got some visible vapor on most of my hits. Not a lot but I could see a little when I would exhale. Since this was my first time and I was not really sure what I was doing, I got about 6 or 7 ten to fifteen second slow draws out of it. Taking out the battery Shaking it and tapping it in between each draw. Turned my load a dark brown almost black color.


The effect was defiantly different then my bong. Not really sure yet how to describe the difference. I did not realize, until I was reading FC, that the effect would be different. Also did not realize I can save my load after I am done each time and use it later to bake with, Make Green Dragon..etc.etc. Cool. Like getting double use out of your weed.


LOL I was thinking after my first try with the LB, my Bong (Which I love) is like a loud, brash, sluttish, in your face, big tits hanging out chick you meet at a bar and you want to do her but don't want to take her home. And she blows your mind.. yikes While a vaporizer experience (The LB) is like the girl next door nice type, clean, you want to take home and she still blows your mind in a different way. cool


I can see tons of situations where the LB could be used that my bong cant. I will still use my Bong (When I want one of those nasty slutty one night stand nights) but the LB will be my main unit from now on... For my situation, the LB is perfect as there are a lot of times I cant really use my bong.


Going to try it again this afternoon with Bud only this time.


Thanks MF for producing a great product.


[MORE ADDED LATER]


Loving my Box. Used it for the second time today..... And all I can say is WOW WOW WOW


I feel after only my second time using the Box, It is easy to use and I feel like I have been using it for years. Excellent Item.


I normally don't write reviews unless I am really excited about a item and the people that make it. This is the first Vaporizer I have ever owned or used so I can't really compare to other Vape's but I did a lot of looking, reading and researching before I bought the Magic-Flight Launch Box.


Things I really like about the LB: Very small and stealth, price, easy to use and you can use just about anywhere. You are not tied down to a cord or a large unit that you have to sit on a table or a long wand or anything. For example, even just around your house you can slip in your pocket and use whenever you want.


Laying on the couch watching TV, out in the garage working, Sitting on the front porch enjoying the nice weather. Sitting on the toilet meditating. etc etc. So easy to use anywhere without that 'tied down feeling'. And don't even get me started on using the LB outside. Hiking, long walks, trips to the beach, snowboarding, those boring family reunions, Dave Matthews concerts, and the list goes on and on. Don't get me wrong, the larger home units are good in other areas like for large parties and if you have a lot of people over. But overall, you can't beat the price, ease of use, Stealth, and flexibility of the Magic-Flight Launch Box.


And on top of all that, the company that makes this product is top notch people who go out of their way to make sure their customers are happy. With a lifetime warranty. Even if YOU break it.


And if you are one of those heavy all day users and the thought of having to use batteries turns you off, well the Company just announced they are coming out with a AC power cord attachment which will work with all existing and new LB's. So now you can have the best of both worlds (batteries or AC). If you are at all into Vaporizers or even like me just getting into them, you got to try the Magic-Flight Launch Box


Enjoy your 'Magic Flights' and remember to Vape Responsibly.

Mini-Review after 1st use: The 1st time I put in the battery I got an ever so slight sign of vapor in the bowl after a few seconds and took a nice slow hit. Pulled the battery out a bit and stirred the load. Repeated this process a few times. It's like everyone says, there really is little to no visible vapor but the effects are definitely there. After three hits of about 15 seconds I am toasty, but the load is still green and just slightly darker than when I started.

My LB arrived about an hour ago. Thanks to the FC thread, I got it right on my first trench. It got me nicely buzzed. I very loosely filled it just below the ridge of the trench and got 4 or 5 very nice hits. I could have gotten more, but I like to leave a little love in my ABV. The first hit tasted amazing. The second pretty good. The rest, although they weren't as magical as the first, didn't taste bad, they just didn't taste like much.


I'm super impressed. It's sooooooo small. I'm going out to the bars tonight, I can't wait to blow my friends minds. They don't know I have it, or even what a LB is.


To no longer be tied to a wall outlet or the inverter that lives in my car's cigarette lighter is incredible.

I love the fact that not only does Magic Flight have some seriously excellent customer service, but they actually listen to their customers and constantly work at improving their products by incorporating ideas from others.


I know I sound like a sales person here but my PD and Extreme have both sat cold for months now and I use this little box as my main vape at home and on the road because it just works so damn well. IMO [read my opinion], the Launch Box hits harder with the same amount of green than both the PD and Extreme. For some reason I feel like I am getting more out of my herb when using the Launch Box. The easy draw, simple breath control, quick start and finish and easy cleanup make it a pleasure to use.

I got my Box today and have already used it 5 times -- this little sucker does what they said it does. When I put the battery I wait like 5 seconds and start drawing slowly. I get nice taste and decent vapor. This little sucker will get lots of play time in the bahamas!

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about the Launch Box


How does it work?

It's easy -- simply grind your clean herbal material to a fine consistency using a regular grinder (or you can use ours). Slide the lid to one side and sprinkle your material into the bowl. Close the lid, firmly press a freshly charged battery into the Box, and start enjoying your vapor. After each hit, withdraw the battery, and shake the Box to stir the material inside -- this ensures that the Box is always fresh and ready when you need it. Repeat as needed.


The stored electrical energy in the battery is carried to a heating element in the bowl of the Box which gently warms your herbals. The Box provides just enough heat to release the active ingredients as a vapor without causing combustion to occur.


Vaporization (avoiding combustion) is good for a number of reasons:

- More medicinal qualities are available because they are not being consumed by fire -- vaporization is more efficient.
- There are little to no harmful combustion byproducts (NO tar, carbon/nitrogen monoxides, free radicals, particulates/soot, etc).
- Vaporization is overall much healthier for you and a LOT easier on the lungs -- no more unnecessary coughing.
- The fine qualities and taste of your herbals are fully available without being obscured by the noxious byproducts of burning.


How does the Box compare to a Bong?

The Box is much smaller than a bong, does not require water, can be used outdoors in windy conditions, and in general is far less fragile than most bongs. The Box is also much more stealthy.


A bong, by burning your herb, generates all sorts of secondary and harmful chemical byproducts which must then be filtered out using water bubbling. While water filtering does not remove all of the harmful combustion byproducts, it does remove some of the active ingredients by vapor condensation in the water. As such, a bong destroys some of your herbal goodness by burning and condensation losses. More medicinal qualities are available from your herbs with Box vaporization.


With a bong, the wide shape of the mouthpiece naturally encourages the user to take deeper hits farther into the lungs. To get the same effect out of the Box, we instruct users to take long slow deeply drawn hits. The slowness is for how the Box heats, and the the longness is so that the user takes a deep hit fully into the more absorbent passages of the lungs. We recommend that first time Box users learn how to control the temp in the Box by controlling their draw rate, and then work to take fewer, much longer and deeper draws. In this way, you will find that the Box is far more useful, effective and efficient than any bong.


How does the effect of a vapor compare to a smoke?

Generally, vapor is actually more potent in terms of overall effects, even though you can hardly feel it when inhaling. The most obvious differences are noticed in the first three minutes of inhaling and more subtle effects can be noticed the next day. Much of what a smoker experiences in the first minutes of inhaling are actually the side effects of smoke, rather than being due to any medicinal qualities in the herb -- the results of a 'damage control' response by the body. Smokers who are not already used to vaporizers often cannot tell that anything is happening at all -- until about 3 minutes later! After a minute or two, the true active ingredients in your herb begin to have their effect, which is generally described as being stronger, lighter, clearer, more thoughtful, longer lasting, and more energetic. You are much less likely to get the 'couch lock' physical effects with a vaporizer. Also, you will feel better, clearer and cleaner the next day -- without the 'fuzzyness' that might be experienced the day after a smoking session.


How much more efficient is vaping than smoking?

Generally, the difference in the bio-available yield between vaping and smoking is (or should be) about 4 to 1 for any "good" reasonably well designed vaporizer. Therefore, being conservative, it is fairly safe to claim that the use of good technique with the Launch Box should be able to get at least into the 3 to 1 range, acknowledging that some sacrifices have been made towards overall utility and convenience.


Not only is vaporization much more healthy, it will save you money. For example, if you consume $100 worth of herbals via smoking in a month, then buying and using a Box consistently will pay for itself twice-over in the first month of usage.


Is the Box efficient? Why is the Box so much better than other similar vaporizers?

The Box performance is much better than any other vaporizer in its class due to the following four factors:
- 1) The Box generates vapor only when needed -- it does not waste any vapor by staying hot between hits or by continuing to cook the load after you have had enough. Loaded material can continue to be cycled over any extended period of time, delivering vapor when you want it without ever having to wait. Conscious user technique with the battery can ensure that there is zero lost vapor every time.


- 2) The Box makes careful use of infra-red (IR) characteristics in its design. IR vaporizers (although very uncommon and very expensive) tend to be fairly good since they have overall heat distribution characteristics similar to pure convection designs for smaller loads. The Box uses only and exactly as much heat energy as is needed for vaporization (the Box is easily one of the world's most energy-efficient vaporizers).


- 3) The Box incorporates several vapor channel flow features to ensure the absolute minimum vapor condensation. Convection vaporizers necessarily need to use significantly more heat energy to operate efficiently -- heat which must be removed from the vapor prior to ingestion. Any surfaces, piping, or water chambers used to cool the vapor are also condensation sites. Condensed vapor is lost vapor and that means that a big pipe overall is less efficient. Any parts that require occasional cleaning also indicate a significant volume of previously lost vapor. Used natively (without the optional stems), the Box rarely requires any cleaning since it delivers the vapor directly to you -- without converting some of it into black gunk along the way.


- 4) The closed chamber allows for the simplest and most reliable form of mechanical stirring possible: shaking. By shaking the Box between hits, the previously ground load can be evenly re-mixed to ensure much more even heating. The clear lid also allows for immediate inspection to determine both the effectiveness of the stirring and the degree of completion. In this way, good user technique can result in excellent overall performance and efficiency.


In summary, in-house lab testing has shown the Box vape to be nearly as efficient as the best portable vapes (when used correctly), and noticeably better than most. Dollar for dollar, the Box delivers more vapor in more locations more naturally than any other.


What is this thing made out of? Is it safe?

The following materials are used in the construction of the Box: Select birch hardwood, Stainless steel screen (the same material used in high-end cookware), copper plated steel rods, Acrylic (Plexi-glass) cover, and a stainless steel spring clip (for the cover). There is no solder (no lead) used in the screen bonding. The added/optional draw pipe accessories (not necessary to use the Box) are also made of Acrylic.


There are no hazardous materials used anywhere in the Box, so yes, the Box is safe. None of these components or materials ever get hot enough to be of any concern.


How durable is the Box? Is the screen replaceable?

Overall, the Box is very durable (can be dropped without harm, etc). Occasionally people break the lid off when the Box is open (don't hold the box by the lid), or by dropping it on an especially hard surface (we send replacement lids). The Box is designed to withstand side to side shaking as part of the normal technique of ussage.


The only part which is delicate is the internal screen which is very thin -- use only the provided brush as a tool in direct contact with the screen. The screen itself is not replaceable. If the screen becomes damaged (whatever the reason) we send a replacement Box unit for free (it's part of the warranty).


What temp is the screen? How do you control the temperature?

The Box is usually calibrated to be at 380 Fahrenheit four seconds after the moment the Box is started, assuming a fairly slow constant draw rate and average environmental conditions.


The temperature in the device is controlled by the draw rate (ie, breath control). Like with the wind, faster tends to mean cooler. To get higher temperatures in the load, you need to draw very slowly. By drawing directly from the Box (ie, using the Box in the 'native' mode), you will also be able to sense the temperature of the vapor stream as well as the taste (this is the recommended practice). Also, the battery is left in only for the duration of the hit, (or if taking multiple hits in quick succession, for as long as the load lasts). The Box user MUST remember to retract or remove the battery when you are finished taking a hit, otherwise the load will get too hot.


Does the screen get dirty?

No, generally not. By acting as an emission surface, it rarly collects any sort of residue, even after long term usage.


Can you use the box with resinous materials or liquids?

Not really. It is possible, though not recommended, as any sort of direct resin contact with the screen tends to discolor and clog it, potentially permanently impairing Box function. Residue from resin usage can be very difficult to clean.


How many loads will a battery last for?

The simplest and easiest way is to figure that one battery will support (roughly) one load. One load will provide between 4 to 8 hits, depending on your usage/taste preferences. Some people will be able to get more than this (2 or 3 loads) or more hits per load (up to 12), but we recommend keeping more charged batteries on hand than you think you may need.


For example, let's say you are calculating how many batteries you will need on a camping trip. A conservative estimate would be to figure that one Box filling will be sufficient for one person and will require one charged battery. Therefore, if you had two people who wanted to use the same Box twice a day for two days, that would be 8 Box loads and therefore 8 charged batteries.


How many times will the batteries recharge?

The provided batteries, if treated well (not overheated) can be expected to support 500 recharge cycles. Therefore, even a heavy user who works the Box several times a day can expect the rechargeable batteries to last quite a long time (think months, if not years). Although we do not make the batteries, we have found them to be very reliable over the long term.


How much material goes in the Box in one load?

Each filling will take between 50 to 100 milligrams of material (depending on the herb, appx. 1/4 of a teaspoon).


We recommend that you add ground, unpacked material until it is level with the groove (but do not fill the chamber), even if this may be more than you would normally need. Because the Box is able to heat up nearly instantly (no waiting), it is convenient to use. Because the Box is also able to cool off again nearly instantly, it does not waste any material either. The Box only requires battery power when you are actually hitting on it.


Instant on and instant off heating means you can control exactly when doses are delivered with the Box. Vapor is dispensed only when you want it -- which means no wasted vapors (more efficient). By removing the battery when you are done taking a hit, the rest of the un-vaped material can simply wait to be cooked later (even hours later). When not in use, the Box simply stores your loaded material unchanged. This is very different than most other vape units which must cook the entire load to completion once they have been started.


By filling to level, you will be getting more overall vapor per charged battery. Each charged battery will provide the same heating in the Box whether it is fully loaded or empty. Therefore, any part of the unit which is hot but not loaded wastes heat and battery charge. You may as well load it fully and get the full benefit of the battery energy. Also, under filling the Box can result in lower vapor density (the ratio of vapor to air).


If you wish to vape more than 200 milligrams of material per day, you will probably need additional NiMh batteries (which we can supply, or you can purchase along with a charger in most electronics stores). A good fast charger tends to cost between $15 and $35 and usually comes with the right batteries.


How thick/airy are the hits?

Done properly, you get a constant vapor supply. The draw rate needs to be slow for this -- think of sipping from a teacup. If you pull too fast, it will get more airy. The taste is an immediate feedback and a good guide.


How completely does it vape? How good is the taste?

The overall level of cooking is mostly defined by how long you use it -- how many hits you take. You can get just about any type of final output you want. It is possible, for example, to bring the load to an even dark chocolate brown if you want to, although the taste towards the end may not be the best. Normally, we expect a single loading to provide between 4 and 8 hits, each of around 20 seconds in length. The key is to tap or shake the box to stir the load from time to time -- this ensures even and consistent results.


Throughout the process, the ultimate taste is dependent on technique. Good usage technique with the Box consists of two aspects: control of the heating process and stirring of the material. Good taste begins by ensuring that the battery is only fully in the Box during a hit, and by controlling the draw rate. From the time that you put the battery fully in until you begin drawing should be fairly short -- less than 5 seconds. To run the Box cooler (better taste), try drawing a little more quickly and do not wait as long before beginning your draw. To get more or denser vapor, draw more slowly or wait a little longer. The correct timing and draw rate -- not too fast nor too slow -- is something learned in time. When you complete the draw, be sure to pull the battery out a bit right away so that the Box does not continue needlessly heating (otherwise the load will get too hot and the taste will be changed).


Don't forget to shake! It's helpful to look through the cover to see that the stir is actually happening -- sometimes bits stick together and do not mix as much as needed. Taste is improved by ensuring an even mixing by shaking the Box between hits.


Is the smell really so light I can use it in public?

Compared to smoking, it is. Obviously, the material itself may have a certain minimum level of smell, even before using in any device. With correct user technique, what the Box offers is no additional level of smell. With the right material and with a practiced user, the Box vapor can be very smell free.


Obviously, we strongly recommend that the Box user develop their stealth technique and test their progress with trusted friends before going out and using in public. Be responsible, do not take unnecessary risks, and be sure you know what you are doing before you try it.


Can the Box be used in groups?

Yes, especially if you have a few extra charged batteries.


If you are passing the Box, ensure that under no circumstances will the battery ever be in the Box when no one is drawing on it for more than about 3 seconds. This requires the Box owner to ensure that each person in a group applies and withdraws the battery individually BEFORE letting them pass the Box around hot. The Box truly is ultra fast -- this needs to be accounted for in group usage.


A good approach is to 1) show a new user in the group how to put the battery in, 2) then hand the Box over without complete battery insertion and then 3) explain that a long slow draw is required. Let the new user start the Box themselves and take their 1st hit. Immediately when they are done with their hit, take the Box back from them and withdraw the battery, showing them that it is necessary to do so. Then the Box can be passed around, ensuring that each person knows to insert and withdraw the battery individually (as if the battery were being used as a lighter) as the Box goes around.


This technique avoids the common problem of passing the Box to a new user while it is 'on' and then explaining how to use it -- while the Box is overheating the herb. This can result in a first hit that is needlessly too hot and harsh.


Can I order one if I am not in the USA?

Yes.
Please be aware that all packages leaving the USA and entering other countries are potentially inspected and delayed while in transit by the Customs Service. Domestic orders placed are usually received within several days of shipping. International orders, however, can sometimes take weeks to arrive. These potential delays associated with international shipping are well beyond our control (begging and pleading with a customs service rarely results in any effect). Therefore, we request the following: 1) if you are placing an international order, please be especially patient waiting for shipped products to arrive, and 2) please let us know if you have not received shipped items within three weeks of placing your order so that we can resend.
