Magic Flight Battery Question

If you have the same batteries from the start, you could probably use a fresh pair. I'm certain that's your problem. Not sure about your second question. Ive read that sometimes you don't even need to send it back.

 

Clean it & keep it clean. Also, the light in the box wont last forever and doesnt effect the effectiveness of the box whatsoever

 

That isn't the problem he's having with the light. It wouldn't dim before burning out, it would just burn out. If he's not getting a good amount of vapor and the light is also dim, new batteries are needed.

 

Its the production of vapor and not the light that indicates you need new batteries. He had the mflb for a year and the light isnt meant to last forever. So therefore he is not having a problem with the light because the light does not effect vapor production. The light being dim doesnt affect ANYTHING.

From the MF website : "*Additionally, please make note that the orange indicator light inside each Box is designed to guide you towards your perfect session and will not last forever; therefore this is the one component of your Box that cannot be covered under the Lifetime Functional Warranty. This light will stop working eventually due to the hotter-than-average environment and sharp temperature changes that it endures. Once you have perfected your technique with the Box, your use of the light will no longer be needed."


OP:
as i said clean it with iso and charge the battery fully. Then remove the rubber o-ring where you insert the battery, put it off to the side for now. Now, re insert the battery and you will feel it hit the metal. if there is no vapor production now its time for new batteries. If there now is vapor production then it was the position of the o-ring. Take a pair of tweezers and carefully re-insert the ring. And test it out again. Adjust the ring as necessary

 

Dude I'm not saying the light affects anything. The light being dim simply means that the batteries aren't providing enough power. Whenever I use a new battery, the light goes back to its usual brightness. An old battery, even when fully charged, will only light it up somewhat.

When a light burns out, does the brightness become weaker first? No, it just burns out without warning. That's all.

 

The light being dim doesnt always mean that the batteries arent providing enough power. This is the third time im saying this. The light does not last and the fact that its dim doesnt necessarily mean the batteries are bad.

"When a light burns out, does the brightness become weaker first? No, it just burns out without warning."-not true my lighty got geradually dim until it was nothing so dont talk about something you havent experienced

 

I ALMOST forgot to respond

Okay let's see. First, I am not disagreeing with you on the light not lasting. I'm fully aware of it not being made to last. Second, don't just assume that I haven't experienced something. You dun know me! Third, you're plain wrong on the burning out of light bulbs in general. There is not one standard lightbulb that fades before burning out. Now as far as I know, the bulb in the mflb is just a miniature standard bulb. It being dim correlates directly with battery strength. A freshly charged battery should fix that problem, or a brand new one if yours is old.

Thanks

 

I have been defeated, i should not speak on grasscity too stoned anymore.

I'm pretty sure it's an led...

 

I believe it's a led as well. Which is why it's surprising to hear it may expire prematurely, being leds last considerably longer than standard lights. That said, I guess the rapid temp changes could damage it as they state.

In this instance, I would replace the batteries first and see if it remedies the situation. That is the easier thing to do, and may very well solve the problem.

If not, then contact magic flight and attempt to go through the warranty process.

 

It's not an LED, the reasons which are described on the mflb website. Something about requiring too much power I think.

No worries owl xD

 

I thought my light burnt out and it turned out my batteries were so fucked that they couldn't even light up the light or produce vapor. It took well over an hour to get a trench yellow. After buying new powerex 2700 it takes 12 minutes to vape a trench, 5 if I need to be fast.

Get these OP. I can guarantee you it's the batteries they don't last for over 5-6 months with daily use.

Also the for the warranty they just have you clean it thoroughly and wrap it in aluminum foil and not put a return address. I think you could also talk them down to just sending a new one.

I stand corrected. Apologies everyone.

 

I thought LEDs were more energy efficient than incandescent or fluorescent?

Edit: Yeah it's a technical reason:

 

Yeah, they are. I couldn't remember exactly what the site said so here -

"The light (which is not manufactured by Magic-Flight) is similar in configuration/construction to a regular household light bulb. As is true for all of these bulbs, they will eventually burn out. (The longer lasting LED type of light cannot be used for technical reasons: the electron band-gap for silicon junctions is simply not low enough for there to be enough free potential for visible photon emission, regardless of the doping)."

Hope that helps

 

I wish they could use LEDs since they require less energy, but what the hell it works fine anyways.

 

Yeah, an LED with a choice of your color. Would certainly last longer. We can dream!
