I have been researching herbal vaporizers for awhile now and have found some that I think are interesting for one reason or another. I’ve been particularly interested in the Magic Flight Launch Box portable vaporizer. It is the smallest portable vaporizer on the market today. Made in California, each unit is assembled by hand by a team of skilled craftsmen. It is small and discreet and can be used almost anywhere.

A portable vaporizer is a good choice for someone who wants to quit smoking but is not ready to give up tobacco. A small amount of finely ground tobacco can be placed in the Magic Flight Launch Box and the resulting vapor can be inhaled. It takes considerably less tobacco to vaporize than it would take for a standard cigarette. In addition, there are very few if any contaminates inhaled when a vaporizer is used.

The Magic Flight is powered by rechargeable NiMh AA batteries, which are included with the vaporizer. This vaporizer also comes with a battery charger. Because it is battery powered it is extremely quiet. In addition, unlike smoking a cigarette, there is no smoke, including secondhand smoke. The vapor is virtually odorless. The only odor would be that of an unburned herb or tobacco.

The Magic Flight Launch Box is handcrafted from hardwood and is quite small. It fits easily in a pocket or purse. It measures 2-½ x 1-¼ x .9 inch in size. To use this vaporizer, open the glass cover on the top, place the finely ground herb into the trench and close the top. Insert the battery on the side. In a few seconds the herb will be heated and the user can use the included draw stem to slowly inhale the vapor. Portable vaporizers are becoming more and more popular and the Magic Flight is one of the easier ones to carry and use. The batteries are rechargeable and can be used a few times before they need to be recharged. It is always wise, however, to carry extra batteries because it is not easy to tell how much charge is left in a battery.

I have a friend who uses a Magic Flight Launch Box and finds it especially good for camping or backpacking. It is small and does not require electricity so it can be carried easily in a backpack. It does not use a lighter or a flame of any kind so it is safe to use in the forests and dry areas. The AA batteries are small and can also fit easily in the backpack. On his first trip, my friend found that he needed to carry more than one extra battery. As I’ve said, it’s difficult to know exactly how much charge a battery has. The Magic Flight portable vaporizer only requires a minimal amount "charge" to heat up the herb and the battery should be removed quickly.

All in all, I think the Magic Flight Launch Box portable vaporizer is a good choice for someone who wants a small, discreet vaporizer to use when they are away from home. It is a great aid for those wanting to quit smoking as well as those who use herbs as alternative medicine.
