These batteries can only be charged while inside of the original charger, so these should typically be purchased only when your original batteries will become dead and will no longer recharge.
As these are original Magic Flight replacement parts, you can expect the same performance as from your original batteries when they were new, in terms of the length of time each one of these can power your device on a single charge and the amount of time that it will take to recharge them.
All rechargeable batteries can be charged for a set number of uses and eventually will require replacement. This is an expected part of ongoing vaporizer maintenance and usually not an indication that there is anything wrong with your vape box.
For installation instructions, please consult the instructions which were included with your Magic Flight vaporizer or contact the brand for guidance. If you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact us! If people put a mostly charged battery into a fast charger, and that fast charger is not smart enough to detect this condition, it can potentially overcharge the battery causing it to get hot, and in particularly bad cases, to vent, leaving a white residue not the end of the world.
For some chargers, it can also be rather bad to put the battery in backwards. Don't try it! High quality chargers generally handle both of these conditions gracefully. Magic-Flight uses in-house custom built testers that draw a lot of current and check for changes in the voltage to determine the battery state.
You should be able to feel sufficient heat, and if not, the battery probably needs recharging. A little bit of experience with fresh batteries versus used ones quickly gives you a really good indication of what is going on. No, not at all. NiMH batteries do not have a "memory" effect. The charger picks up where the charge is at and adds what is necessary to "top off".
In regards to charge energy delivery, there are two approaches: "slow charging" and "fast charging". In slow charging, energy is delivered at a low constant rate that does not require charge endpoint determination. These are also known as "trickle chargers".
They are not the "best" chargers, but they are reliable, simple, and safe. Their main disadvantage is that they can take a very long time to charge a battery 8 to 12 hours. Slow trickle chargers can also diminish battery life if batteries are simply left in the charger indefinitely i. Fast chargers are much more complex and thus more expensive since they can deliver energy at a much greater rate than the battery can withstand. For a fast charger to be "good", it must perform two tasks:.
Failure to achieve either of these aspects can definitely shorten NiMH battery life the number of recharge cycles and the max energy that can be stored per cycle. Specifically, the current delivered must be matched against the battery capacity. Also, if there are surges, ripples, or spikes, the battery discharge characteristics can be adversely affected.
This in turn can result in a Box running either way too hot or way too cold, depending on the type of battery damage sustained. Furthermore, if the charge endpoint is not determined correctly, the battery can be overcharged, resulting in it getting very hot too hot to touch which can also permanently damage the battery. Such issues are more noticeable with LSD rechargeable batteries than with standard rechargeable. Unfortunately, for fast charger manufacturers, determining when a NiMH battery is "full" is far from easy.
The battery itself provides little indication of its internal state. There are three approaches generally taken:. Each of these approaches has significant problems and are likely to fail if used exclusively. A good charger needs to test for at least two, if not all three, of these conditions to function reliably. Many fast chargers on the market simply do not test for charge endpoint conditions very well or very reliably.
The primary reason for this choice is safety: anyone can use the bundled charger without having to understand specifics about the rechargeable batteries. These stock chargers are convenient insofar as they are compact they fit in the tin and are known to be a good reliable option, not because they are the fastest possible means for charging a battery. What charger does Magic-Flight recommend? Unfortunately, many charger manufacturers generally cut corners whenever possible in their product designs.
Such chargers, even from well known brand name companies, can have issues with charge current regulation and endpoint determination. These things are not visible on the outside -- they are apparent only when carefully examining the internal electronics with controlled testing. Further, as there are hundreds of different chargers and batteries with millions of possible test configurations , it is not really reasonable to expect anyone to have tested all batteries and all chargers.
Recommendations are based on best available knowledge to date. Also, in some cases, manufacturers put special features into their chargers particular to their batteries.
For example, for the Sanyo batteries, the Sanyo charger is the "best" -- it has the most smarts tuned particularly for their specific battery brand.
For those who want to have a set of "reserve" batteries which are sure to remain charged after sitting in your car for months, the Sanyo Eneloop batteries and chargers are very good in terms of quality, power, and long-term longevity. Anyone looking for the fastest possible alternative charger which is known to be reliable should consider the Energizer minute charger with the Maha Powerex mAh batteries. This is the best combination for people who use the Box at least once every day and who are looking for optimum runtime performance.
The Energizer batteries themselves are not nearly as good -- take it or leave it. Note: Magic-Flight gains absolutely no benefit from recommendations or advice in this respect -- we have absolutely zero association with Energizer corp.
As an alternative configuration for people who use the Box less frequently not every day , but are still interested in optimum performance, Magic-Flight recommends the Imedion batteries and the Maha MH-C charger -- this is the best overall combination for both battery longevity and long vaping sessions.
Be advised that this charger is somewhat more complex to use than most chargers and can be more expensive than most to purchase. They are a bit arcane for the average user, but for those who are into the advanced "tech" of rechargeable batteries, it is a great unit. Finally, for the record, Magic-Flight does not make the branded chargers that are bundled with the Box.
They are provided as a convenience so that people can use the Box without having to worry about such details. LSD batteries such as Eneloops or the Magic-Flight stock batteries can be charged in fast chargers, as long as they are not too fast.
Charging an LSD battery in anything less than an hour is probably too fast. A charger that charges them in about one or two hours is about ideal. Furthermore, the performance of a battery is defined largely by the quality of the charger. Low self-discharge LSD NiMH batteries have a chemistry and physical constitution that differs slightly from standard rechargeable batteries.
Overheating a LSD battery can have a more significant impact, in terms of the loss of battery life number of charge cycles and the amount of charge that the battery can retain. Statistically speaking, ultra-fast chargers -- chargers that charge a battery in less than an hour -- present too high of a risk profile in that detecting charge endpoint conditions is not an exact process.
LSD batteries do not tolerate overcharging mistakes as well as standard ones i. As such, it is really not a good idea to put the stock batteries in a 15 minute fast charger more than occasionally.
Magic-Flight does not recommend combining any 15 minute charger with LSD batteries except on rare occasions and when in great need. The charger that Magic-Flight provides is actually a very good fast though not the fastest charger. Its maximum charging time is about 4 hours, and is usually noticeably less. We recommend using fully charged batteries for performance reasons only -- so that people get the best possible experience with the Box, particularly on their first try when they are just learning how to use it.
There is also no issue with pulling a battery from the charger and using it before it has been fully charged again, as long as enough of the charge is useful. However, it is recommended that you let the charger complete its charge cycle whenever possible, as the microprocessor in the charger may attempt to implement a conditioning cycle on the batteries.
If it senses that the battery is low, it may discharge the battery before recharging it so as to extend the battery life. Cookie Settings. Explore this Article parts. Tips and Warnings. Things You'll Need. Related Articles.
Part 1. Obtain a Launch Box. It can be ordered from the Magic Flight website, or from online stores like Amazon. Know the features of the Launch Box and its accessories. The kit comes with the Launch Box, two batteries with rubber protective caps, a battery charger, a cleaning brush, and a glass stem used to inhale the vapor. The actual Launch Box contains the following features: The trench , which consists of a screen to contain the material.
The lid , which is often engraved with a design and must be closed for effective vaporization. The lid locks in place to contain the vapor. A draw hole , where the vapor is formed and inhaled. A light , which is located within the draw hole and acts a battery life indicator the dimmer the light, the less charge the battery has.
The battery hole , where the battery is held and engaged to use the device. It contains a rubber pushback ring that prevents the battery from accidentally engaging when not in use. Grind your material. Optimally, you'll want to obtain an extremely fine grind to achieve even vaporization. Make sure the herbs are completely dry, as well. A coarse grind doesn't have enough surface area to vaporize effectively. By grinding the herb finely, the surface area is increased to allow for even vaporization.
Fill the trench up to the inner side rails. Make sure not to overfill or underfill the trench. Avoid packing the material with your fingers; vaporization is most effective when the herbs sit loosely in the trench. Close the lid. Again, the key to effective vaporization is closing the lid to contain the vapor.
Make sure it locks into place to keep the vapor from escaping. Insert the positive end of a battery into the battery hole.
Remove the cap first, then insert it into the hole, positive end first. The rubber pushback ring will prevent the battery from engaging until you're ready to take a hit. Placing the rubber cap on the negative end of the battery will make engaging the battery more comfortable for your hands.
Insert the glass stem into the draw hole. This is optional, but recommended for beginners. Using the Launch Box without the stem is known as "native mode. Part 2. Wrap your dominant hand around the Launch Box and hold it up to eye level. The negative end of the battery should be against your palm. Squeeze your hand to engage the battery and hold for seconds until you see vapor forming. If you can see the light through the draw hole, the battery is engaging and vaporization is in progress.
Without releasing the battery, place your lips on the stem and inhale slowly this is known as "drawing". It helps to understand the relationship between the draw rate and the temperature of the trench.
