NEW VAPORIZER FOR DRY HERB: GHOST Mv1

[Farmall]

The Ghost arrived... did not require an adult to sign for it. It wasn’t marked anywhere but I do know the delivery driver well enough that he’d leave it but... nothing listed. There are 4 separate boxes in the box it’s delivered in and those are fast charger, extra battery, crucibles and the MV1. Sadly the quick start directions tell you to charge the battery over night to ensure a full charge and protect the battery life. Happily though, the fast charger will charge the battery in 2 hours approximately. Safe to say, they’re both lit up as this is written.

This one has the glass Stem as I scrutinized it for the telltale seam. Working in a dental lab years ago tell me it’s easy to polish off any molded seams to a smooth clean feel with just some fine pumice or buffing compounds. But, since it’s glass, cool. Replaced a few outlets in the house with those usb charger ports...convenient if nothing else.

the device is nicely made from a hands on feel but until the unit fires up, that about all I have. Nice to see an added accessory for cleaning and maintaining the mv1. Stay tuned?

Ok, so you're charging it as we speak? Cool beans!! I'm playing with mine right now.

[Farmall]

Yep.... the fast charger is complete, the overnighter still red. Time for reading about how to use it

[GlitterFarm]

Very excited by all these new gadgets, it's a strange new world out there. In my state you are supposed to get everything at the dispensary, even your vape machine. I will do what I want anyway but has anyone else run into that?

[alltatup]

GlitterFarm My first reaction to that: it's bordering on fascism, for real. How dare they try to regulate where you get the fkin vape you want????? That's total greedy bs.

Pardon my tirade...

[Farmall]

I have no clue what they do in my state. Seems like ‘head shops’ are few and far between.... but my last interaction was in the early 1970’s

A new Ghost on the horizon....https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subsc...a8e0896aa989b2

[Farmall]

Quick note; Wrote to Ghost about a question.... they’re customer service is spectacular...FWIW

[furrysparkle]

Okay having used this for a few weeks and having also had the glass stem replacement for about a week I believe it’s appropriate for my follow up review

The glass stem is critical in my opinion, instead of feeling like I was using a 150$ POS, it felt amazing to vape through. Truly a game changer.

Also a few more tips:

the plastic poker to help clean the holes has ZERO durability, so I’ve found putting the lid to your lips and blowing it out is far easier and puts off cleaning to about once every week or two rather than a couple days

Stay with a temp for a while like try a whole crucible before trying a new temp

Along with the last point you have to kind of preheat the crucible and this becomes more apparent once the battery is below 35% so running one crucible until its gone is very helpful

[alltatup]

I find it very efficient to have a supply of alcohol wipes on hand, and I wipe off the stainless steel crucible top with them. Then I set them all soaking in alcohol every few weeks, cuz the lids do get stopped up.

Also it seems to wear on the back a bit

[Farmall]

20 times a day.... I don’t think I could move at 3 times a day.

[Redwasp]

Lmao practice my friend practice.

[Farmall]

Haha! That’s very funny...I’ll give it a try but I know you can’t count me out at 4-5

[furrysparkle]

So update on the wear issue, they emailed my photos to their QA department and have since sent me another email saying that a new one is on its way and we’ll have the return labels sent to you to return the malproduced device. Should be getting it today I’ll take pics and see how long this one lasts or if it’s even better than this one I’ll publish a new review

[starramus]

Certainly good news after all of that expense. Helpful to the others on this forum who have yet to experience this problem.

[Farmall]

I had emailed them for a part ... they did not yet have it for sale on their site but sent it to me via priority.... I was impressed with their customer service 2x already...no charge

[MedMan]

Hey Farmall. Did you ever give a smoke report or still waiting for parts ?
Just curious because you said you hadn't smoked since the 70s .

[alltatup]

Yeah, what he said!!!

[Farmall]

Ok...I’m gonna confess.... my Ghost is charged up...both batteries, ready to go... I told this here to a friend so sorry to repeat it BUT it’s a good one. The parts I was waiting for had to do with a rubber gasket and some other obscure part. I figured in case something happens and I needed to rebuild something, I’m fully equipped.
Never checked the HAPTIC thing yet... 🙂

Back in the 1971-72, we rolled joints, had the toilet paper tube with the tin foil bowl, water pipes and bought a 1 lb bag for about 400.00. Emptied the bag into a plastic pail and just kept dipping in as needed. When that was finished a few days later..( only kidding ) that was my last foray into weed. Had to grow up quickly and all of the ROOTS that tie you down started to take hold. Here it is 46 years later and I bought a few oil filled pieces that go onto a battery for a vape pen. Despite having some good buds and the MV1, I still had not tried any of it. So I figured I would see how to use the pen.

Went to YouTube and watched about4 videos on how to to It. All said take a 10 second draw on the pen and abracadabra...it works. So I draw in about 10 seconds and WOW... I started to cough and cough and hack and choke like it was my first puff in 1967. My throat was on fire but ....my head was starting to drift... the oil was Bruce Banner and while I still don’t know who that is... I was starting to get very buzzed... safe to say the experiment was flawed. Tried it again last night but with much more moderation.... that was very nice.

I will get to it maybe this weekend ... this really is new to me. Like a cell phone to a guy in the 1950’s. Technology evolved around m me in a field I had no exposure to...I’m a non-smoker. When I write up my report, it will be a good one I’m sure.. in the mean time Alltatup has some of the most detailed instructions out the...better that Ghost.

As for the buds and the Ghost....not yet...I keep buying my medical allocation in case nothing else happens but, that’s looking good so, just need another few weeks

[furrysparkle]

So I’ve received my replacement, looks good.
I am starting to think the oven on my old one was also bad, vaping this new one at 160C is producing no vapor but I am feeling slight effects. Turned it to it 185C medium setting and was getting about the right clouds.
Also, preheating the crucible is far more noticeable now even at a full charge.
And when I got it, I had to do a firmware update to actually get it to start working, nice to know that there are and will be updates.

I received no financial compensation for posting this ad, but I sure as hell wish I had.

[starramus]

There's a new Flowermate model soon available, and the price is right for the masses. https://www.planetofthevapes.com/pro...C+11%2F2018%29

So 3 weeks into my replacement, had a crucible roll off the table and break, Ghost was quite quick to replace it, and recommend their replacement pack for the future. The wear is far better than the last one, the plastic on the button isn’t worn off.
Every strain has its own temp, some taste great hot like 200C while others taste best at 160C.

[furrysparkle]

Yeah I was actually wondering how far I could push on their service, so far no limits. But I’ve only had the whole machine replaced so... Lol

[Farmall]

Thank goodness I ordered the kit with extra crucibles and stuff...still have not even turned it on. 🙄

[alltatup]

Farmall don't be a chicken!!! It's an awesome machine, but it does have a learning curve. You'll master it quickly, I'm sure.

[JimmyPapaya]

Just bought myself one of these babies. Black Friday deal w/free shipping. Couldn't pass up the $90 off. Cheers!

[alltatup]

Did you get the extra battery, the fast charger and the crucible carrier? You will need them. I like to use the battery till it has 1 or 2 lights power, then switch out a fresh one that's been sitting in the fast charger.

You'll love it!!!

[starramus]

Who had it on sale that cheap?

[JimmyPapaya]

s, on the Ghost MV1 website till 11/26.
