That is what they claim in the vapelife forum. They seem like upfront people so I would trust and wait for app.I fail to see how any firmware update could solve the hotspot / uneven extraction issue a lot of users reported.
It's not a matter of temperature settings it's a matter of air flow dynamics. Most of the time you can prevent it (or at least mask it) by drawing very slowly and reducing the extraction speed, but this is not an option for cloud chasers and for those using their device through water.
The real solution is to carefully design the flow path from intake to your mouth, and eventually creating a good measure of turbulence. In most systems we try to get rid of turbulence to maximize the flow rate, so it's a bit unusual to try to introduce some on purpose.
Gaz flows are more complex than liquid ones, and I'm by no means an expert in this domain. But the following picture touches on the kind of problems we are facing with tubular stems with the bowl at the extremity:
You see there is a natural tendency to get more velocity at the center and less on the borders. So you really need to either:
1) reduce the stem diameter (explains why many of us find it more even with 14mm vs 18mm stems in other convection devices, ex: MistVape Touch)
2) create a swirling flow pattern before the bowl intake (ex: Herbalaire, turbulator in Milaana/Zion)
3) have some kind of shield/deflector in front of the bowl center or a dead hole in the heater at this location (what @Alan tried to do in the iHeat but we're not completely there yet, and what @Pipes and the other Project members tried to do when improving the coil geometry in the Project Eraser and Pure SF compared to the OG)
PS: adjusting the upstream / pre-heater air intake pattern (shape, number, size, location etc.) is often under-looked but also plays IMHO a very important role.
PS2: having the bowl in a form of a wafer-thin but very large diameter cylinder, like the shape of a coin for instance, would be probably great too.

it seems that some mv1's suffered from the unlocking of a certain feature. Other mv1's like mine did not suffer and seem to work correctly. The app and new firmware allegedly fixes these issues along with some battery issues.
Just realised Ghost sent me a email, it was in my junk folder but luckily i can still purchase, only thing is im in the UK, alltogether its going to cost me $325 to get it over here, plus i may be charged around $30 more once for the customs chargeif anybody from the UK on here who has ordered can tell me how much it cost them in all (on here or PM) it would be helpful, but i may have to wait for a UK supplier to get a few in stock as this may be a bit too high on the cost
I can't recreate that. Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here so please be gentle!
I am from the UK and have many many vaporizers.
I saw vapecritics review of the mv1 and I wanted it right away. I was one of the first lucky few who got a unit (I waited on the pre order for a few days only)
Cgod- I didn't pay any duty or vat. They ship via dhl and tbh they were very quick and sometimes can get away with customs with them.
It was well worth the wait. Would honestly recommend this as I'm in love with it.
Firstly have to say the team at Ghost vape, especially Whitney are incredible.
She stuck with me through all my pointless emails and even now she replies virtually instantly. Hats off to them!
Now, this is my first unit of this kind. I have the pax2, iHit, hydrology9 (which I love to bits) and many others but nothing of this kind like the ghost.
So I could be using It incorrectly?
Basically, my crucibles are always charred in one spot
I've tried 6 loads, of different packing. Tight, light, less, loads, more.
None make any difference. My last bowl was not even touched!
The first time I tested the ghost I was coughing for like 15 mins straight in a vapor pool! Was beyond excellent!
That high was insane.
But that's where it stopped
Whitney asked me to check the heat sink; here I found the black seal that sits on the ceramic mouth piece chamber inserted the wrong way.
Could this be the cause?
I get no vapor or taste and the unit gets hot so it's trying but nothing on the other end.
I haven't changed anything since the first bowl so I'm pretty confused but still persevearing!
I love this little machine, I know you're probs thinking how but the way it made me feel that first time; it's just epic.
None of my other machines get me this spacey!
I've been reading this whole forum which has taken me days as I do it in my spare time, but I got the device some weeks ago.
Yes I have the gritty mp, which Ghost will replace!
The crucible holder is much much needed and will be a addition as well as the other accessories coming soon! (I.e ghost case holder thing)
![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
Seriously
Reading though all these issues, this appears to be the one of the worst vaporizer rollouts in history! lol Imagine if it were a car, or a computer. Or a Broadway show that wasn't quite ready for public consumption. I'm rooting for you guys though

Obviously you weren't around for the Grasshopper... <ducking>
The original cloud had unsolvable heater dying issues. And my grasshoppers have had one rma and one with a very different performance.
Thank you for teaching me a new word!
Baffling, exactly.
You're right! I went with the FF2 instead, (which I regret, despite it giving me the best vape hit of my life.) Was never able to replicate, and that 90% draw resistance kills me. I dream of FF2 flavor with a wide open draw, and that's why I'm lurking on this thread! I see an MV2 in my future...
