Discontinued Ghost MV1

[Bologna]

What material is the heating element coil made out of?

You're asking me? I dunno, did they say? I don't remember... Sorry

I bet it's probably in here somewhere tho...

It's made out of trillium carbonic alloy.

It's made out of trillium carbonic alloy.

Goddamn it, I swear I read it was adamantium. I paid extra for that shit!

On the plus side, I'll be getting my replacement MV1 on Thursday. These folks rock on the customer service...I didn't have to send my original back and wait; they told me to send a portion of the original back when I'm sure the new unit is working. THAT is how you do customer service (*cough* *GHL* *cough*).

Couple that with the crazy ass juju these guys can accomplish with their software updates and I think they are legit.

 

[SirCrackKillaH]

Could someone illustrate exactly what the app does that improves performance?

I was not very pleased with my MV1 and decided to send it back for a refund. What could I expect to be different if I decide to take the plunge again?

The MV1 is unique in that updates can change the overall dynamic of the entire experience with the device. As it stands, there is a more 'refined' type of a feel. The squeeel or hum was initially increased on one of the initial updates and now with this consumer version, that's been reduced tremendously so it's barely noticeable at times. How the device heats, how the coils heat, it's even without the voltage spiking that was occurring prior. What was happening before is you'd be at level 2 and it'd kick up and down from time to time and kick off more heat, jump it up to 3 and same deal but it will still manageable. Level 4 and 5 prior update were prone to overheating with back to back to back rips. This has pretty much gone away now.

Battery life or at least the indicator lights are more accurate now. I'm generally going through 8-10 crucibles before charging but can get as many as 13-16 before complete death. This is dependent on bud grind consistency and what level I'm starting at. If I'm pounding at level 5 for only a few draws vs 12-15 draws stepping it up, I'll get more sessions. I know for sure I can get at least 12 crucibles based upon how I use this device.

It's excellent battery life though for sure.

Future updates will continue to tweak heat, smart path potential type modes, they are looking into pc support based upon feedback.

This vape now has become my daily. Eight crucibles last me an entire day, the battery does too. Its fantastic.

^Thanks

How is the consistency of the vape? Is there still stirring required to get an even ABV? That was one of the big drawbacks for me, uneven vaping of my herb and the need to stir was just too much when combined with how finicky the crucible is. If that has been resolved, I'll definitely put my name back on the list.

3 weeks straight of solid performance...i mean its beautiful...so thanks ghost at least for me everything seems to be running really smoothly!

i posted a video of me vaping white angel OG at 410f fucking awesome

 

[Vaporcussion]

Got an email from Ghost saying the app is now available for IOS. Curious to know if it changes performance? Also, have any Ghost users noticed themselves using less material overall, since its not a session vape? Thanks

Nice man...where do you get all those fractals?

i was listening to this mix but i couldnt post the music so i added copy right free music anyhow these are the visuals

Soo...2 weeks in with the MV1 and I must say this vape is becoming one of my all time favorites.
I've been using a cut out screen for a crucible lid since day 1 and the performance has been excellent (I found that the OG Crucible lid clogs quickly and my AVB was always unevenly vaped), With the screen I get little to NO gunk build on the screen, even vaped AVB and airflow is perfect for me. The hits I get on Amber 2 and 3 are just amazing (I usually don't go higher than Amber 3 unless its Hash), Tasty, potent and nice clouds . I attached a 4 inch piece of Medical grade silicone tubing at the tip of the glass mouth piece and pushed the mouth piece all the way in for max clouds. I'm really digging this vape the more i use it.
Oh and my unit worked excellent before and now with the App

I think you'll find that the gunk is much less of an issue now that you have the app. Give it a try!

What about a DIY pod/crucible of sorts made entirely out of screen material? drop the stock crucible and screen for max surface area/material exposure. Might help with charring/uneven issues as well.

I have never stirred and I love this thing. I find some dark crispy bits but nothing I’m concerned about. Before deciding there is a problem, I would definitely grab the app. I haven’t felt the need to modify the unit in any way. Good luck!

On a separate note, UPS fucked me and I will now get my new MV1 on Friday.

It's not about there being a problem or a need to modify anything it was just a suggestion for potential airflow/function upgrade. If it worked with the lid why not play around with the crucible as well.

As I follow the progression of what's happening with the apps on VLF, I came across this post that I wanted to share with all of you. It's a lovely, genuine post, imo. It was posted 5 hours ago so it's current.

"Hey all!

I thought I'd post this because I just had a super positive experience with Bud, and he's been getting a bit of negativity lately that I think is undeserved.

I bought the MV1 right at launch and live in Canada. I tried it for a few months with the hope that the new firmware would make it the right vape for me, but sadly it did not. So, I messaged Bud asking if I could still do the buy-back and he said of course.

I shipped it to him last week and it arrived on Monday. He picked it up Tuesday, and sent me a refund today for the price of the vape + return shipping. So, in other words, he completely lived up to his word despite us having no formal agreement and despite my having 0 recourse if he were to decide to not buy it back. He was incredibly communicative the entire time, completely understanding, and just generally nice to talk to.

So yea, at least to me Bud is a genuine guy. Some people (like myself) don't love the MV1, but that in no way means he is a 'shill' or whatever some call him. I now have full trust in him, and if in the future he offers some similar guarantee with a vape that he recommends (maybe the MV2, or maybe the vape he is planning to build?) I will likely get it as I will know that he will abide by that guarantee.

Also as an aside for any Canadians here yes, I did lose some money from taxes and shipping, but Bud was very clear when he offered the guarantee: he would cover return shipping up to $20 US and the vape. In fact Bud even went so far as to refund $25 of return shipping, covering the insurance that I told him was entirely optional.

Thanks for being so honest Bud, and thanks for the fantastic guarantee."

And a member response to this post was:

"Glad that despite your not liking a vape, you still like the person, and were kind enough to post here to tell us about your positive experience."

As I said I just wanted to share.

 

[SirCrackKillaH]

Wow, look at that bob the builder type stuff going on yo. LoL mannnn, I remember a few people awhile back taking pictures of the interior all heated up talking about how they could work with that.. now I see man, that's cool

Mods man, mods, that looks like it hits like a beast. Awesome!!

The new Ghost has arrived. Fast charging the battery now, hoping I can compare the two tonight (but I'm pessimistic).

 

[clive_bob]

Not disappointed at all, Stoked so far.
Mine has been charged now for around 4 hours. Done 3 crucibles I believe, with 3 or 4 nice tokes a load, starting my 4th now.
Compared to my Mighty, it is smoother. Love packing about a 3rd or less of what I'd load in Mighty.
Compared to my Omni, with woodscent or cap, I would say those are more like the Mighty than the Ghost, so far I'd say the Ghost is different for sure.
It extracts and delivers, heavy and quick yet smooth.
Love that you can just move the glass in or out to get less (in) or more (out) draw; this plays right into the 15 second hitting cycle (how long you can hold button once it vibrates for you to begin hit), at first I was continuing to draw after the 15 seconds but by pulling mouthpiece out slightly further on the next toke I was done hitting at 15 seconds and holy heavy hitting(!).
The flavors felt sticky, remained in mouth and reminds me of a lingering super fresh green bong rip, flavors though without the harhsness or roughness.

Concerns I have are:
-the door of the crucible seems potentially at risk, just cause it is light and small.
-the button to open/release it is super tough and sometimes I have to use both hands with effort to open it. Assuming with some use that'll resolve itself.
-the unit gets quite warm in the hand after some tokes, on second load; hoping this isn't an issue and that I won't need more than 2 loads at a time, very often.
-unsure I'd take it with me snowboarding or riding my bike (gonna stick with Omni for such); durability even though it feels very sturdy?

@Stormsend -that is not cool. You are holding the button down and waiting for the second vibration (seconds later) before drawing, while continuing to hold the button down for up to 15 seconds more, which is when it'll stop heating.

I think the app has not been released yet.

My door release button was so tough at first that I literally had to the Ghost down on a towel and use both hands, full pressure. After a couple of days, it got noticeably easier and now I can easily open it with my thumb holding in one hand.

 

[LabPong]

My door latch button is way too loose now. Funny....it was so hard to open it when it was new. I did not think it would bet this loose after that. Just have to be careful for now when handling with a hot load in it.

 

[SirCrackKillaH]

Well.. cold weather confirmed on this thing man. Snow on the ground, been running around.

I picked up this dry gorilla glue man... straight tastes like it too >.< I forgot about how distinct this stuff is man.. yoooo I didn't mean to grind it sooo fine, it's like kief man throughout. I loaded up all my crucibles with it and I've been getting beat up since last night man. These things are plowing me lol christ..

I'm finding that I'm getting more pulls and at the upper temperatures I can't even finish a pull, that's how f'in strong it is man. I went from lemon pie, a sweet distinct kinda deliciousness med grind to fine to gorilla with a fine to dust.. it completely changed the whole experience for me. This thing is straight mushroom clouding me right now.
It's the denseness of the vapor that is making me cough like crazy man. Anything north of level 3 is wicked.
Manhattan project type shit. Atomic MV1 man.. babooooommmm!!! :Cough cough cough cough cough cough...::cough cough cough cough cough::

My only issue is battery life. Maximum 55 draws. Two lights at 12. 1 light at 19. Flashing light at 29. How does this compare with others Here? Working with ghost great CS to solve this.

I can't speak to the battery life because I don't pay attention but I will second the comment about Ghost CS. After some back and forth about an intermittent issue with my MV1, Ghost sent me a brand new unit and followed that up with a return label for my old unit. It took me a week to return the original MV1 and Ghost had no issue with the delay. I honestly didn't expect them to send me a new unit and I did expect them to get uptight about my own delays but I was wrong on both counts. Excellent experience!
