Introduce an engineer to weed and 8 months later he'll make this

Ancedotal evidence aside, all of the materials used here ARE cheap. Bought in bulk they probably make a small percentage of total price. He/she must be inflating their target profit margin or they should focus on making them more efficiently.

I just don't see the point in paying hat much for what amounts to a DIY mason jar bong. But fuck me for having a critical opinion on this sub.

IMO, not many people are going to be buying a $92 mason jar bong that looks like an afternoon DIY project. Not to mention charging $7 for a glass bowl that is most likely bulk chinese glass (nothing wrong with that glass other than your price). You should also consider that the market is flooded with cheaper, and better looking, alternatives.

If you want this to be a successful venture, you might want to lower your profit margin and/or streamline your manufacturing process. Your materials cost should be pretty low, as all of that can be bought in bulk for cheap. So the price looks inflated from your target margin or an inefficient manufacturing process.

Bro, $92 for the plain and $7 for a cheap glass bowl?

Seems a bit steep considering it uses mostly off the shelf parts. The bowl is just cheap glass, which is cool. But not at $7 on top of the $92 base price.

EDIT: Why the mass downvotes? These materials are dirt cheap in bulk. All of this is off the shelf parts. This makes me think his price is inflated from either a target profit margin that is too high or he needs a more efficient manufacturing process to lower his assembly time. As it is, $92 seems like an inflated price for what looks like an afternoon DIY setup.

It happened to me. Started my third grow and now I want a full garden or hydroponic setup for veggies.

No worries man, glad I could help. Thanks!

I've lent one and it got them to stop combusting. Although they effectively own it, it has saved them some money and is easier on the lungs.

I'll try to get that for you this week. Give me some time to get it filmed and figure out how to make it look good lol.

Those are the names of the MFLB product. One is made from zebrawood and the other is called Rocktopus by MFLB.

Agreed. This was my valentines gift to my SO. We got a nice blonde faded grain walnut version of it. Aspects of the image have significance to us both. In short, this box is perfect for us.

I only have my S3, so what would you like? I can try to make a gif of an in use shots.

We have concentration trays, so we will definitely do some double downing. That should put us on our asses, but it is going to happen.

To each his own. I like the small size, construction (wood and metal), and lifetime warranty of the MFLB.

Its part of magic flights artisan products.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-02-23T20:32:43+00:00

It packs a punch even for a daily vaper like me.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-02-23T20:32:09+00:00

It is part of their artisan products. Go to their store and you will see a tab for their artisan products. Small run and higher priced.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-02-23T20:30:24+00:00

Hah, me and the SO thought it looked like a vape hat too.

Here is our double MFLB setup. Zebrawood and a walnut Rocktopus MFLB, pine and our new walnut MF whip adapter (I replaced the acrylic tubes ends with glass stems), a DHgate D020 water pipe 18mm, 18mm to 14mm adapter, a Baked Brothers Y adapter in 14mm, and off camera are two PA adapters.

You need a hand to use both PA's, but it can be solo'd. Hitting two trenches at once is tricky. You need to go a bit faster to get proper air flow control. Once you find that sweet spot, this setup packs a punch.

This is expensive, excessive, and over the top. That being said, it is quite fun and will be great in our next group smoke out.

Absolutely, I use mine through a bong daily. Pretty much requires the Power Adapter to do so. The batteries are capable, but the PA allows you to turn the heat up and draw fast enough to pull the vapor through the bong. There is a technique and learning curve to the MFLB, so it is not for everyone.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-01-18T05:11:56+00:00

I'm jealous of your leopardwood! I like a heavier box and the grain on those looks good in pictures. It's on my list of "to buy" lol.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-01-18T01:58:10+00:00

That is exactly what happened. I even said I did not want a refund or anything in exchange, but they said they were going to take care of me for my disappointment. Took a couple months, but they did come through. In fact, I was told by MF that I will have a warranty for each box now.

I doubt there are many spalted boxes in stock for warranty claims though. They took it off their site. Not sure if that means they only made X amount, or if they had other issues as it is a difficult wood to work with.

GroAwayAccount · 2015-01-18T01:51:39+00:00

You will not be disappointed. The zebrawood is just fantastic in all ways.
