My first heater finally died yesterday - put 4+ grams of oil & wax through it since October 21, which I think is very reasonable for a ~$15 part that I really didn't take any special care of.
Can't wait for my globe and new ghost heater!!
The ghost atomizers are tough for sure - I'm not particularly careful when loading, or when scraping up oil/wax that's built up on the inside, and my first one has held up amazingly well!
Just ordered the globe and a spare atomizer - hopefully the one I've currently been beating on will last until early next week. Happy Friday to me, my shop ended up having a bunch of different waxes that weren't advertised! :brow:
Totally forgot to mention that I thought mine was originally DOA - but in fact it was in locked mode, which requires 5 successive button presses to unlock.
Still loving this thing, still haven't ordered a new atomizer!! I usually blow through 1/8th in a couple of days, the gram of blue dream...
Now I'm kicking myself in the ass for not finding this thread back when I first came here 6 months ago - I'm a huge rap/hiphip fan too.
Ajax's verse from "Wasted" by Twiztid:
I’m meetin’ Jerry Bears untill I’m barely there
Tripped my nuts off, landed in some chick’s derriere
Me and my hash rig...
The wax was easiest, until now - my shop had some blue dream ear wax that's closer to a shatter, and it seems to be the perfect consistency! Easy to break off chunks, easy to stick on the heater...I'm a happy man.
I feel the need to add how durable this thing is - I've been beating it up daily...
Do you have a favorite type of concentrate to load with? It seems waxes or shatters work best - I tried a heavy oil and ended up making quite the mess!
Thanks @mlo4sho - perhaps I'll pick up some cheaper concentrate and just get right down to experimenting!
Some more good info here - thanks man!

Purchased this one before my east coast trip a couple of weeks ago, and it performed well. However, I'm wondering how much I can actually load into this thing if I don't want to have to deal with loading after every hit. It would be nice to put enough concentrate in here so that I can do this...
Missed that post, thanks man. However, this is what happens when I click on the "Buy now" section of their website - I'm never given an option to use a CC.
I just had to buy another, too - it has survived numerous falls from the top of the Solo, but the last one broke the base. Wish I'd have checked here sooner - I thought I was lucky to get my $70 offer accepted! ;)
