@AJS, solid review.
1) when you insert the battery you are in sleep mode. You have to press & hold the button until the battery lights appear, which will be 1 - 3 lights depending on battery level, to go from sleep to standby mode. Then once in standby mode, you have to press the button 3x to turn the unit on.
When the battery is out of sleep mode, even when the unit is turned off, it is in standby mode. In this mode, the battery will deplete because the vape is constantly searching for bluetooth connectivity with the app. What I & others do is to remove the battery because it will last for weeks (last count 4 weeks before I used the battery again) without any depletion. What I recently heard & am trying out is: after you are done using the vape, remove & reinsert the battery leaving it in sleep mode with will also supposedly prevent bluetooth app searching. I'm on day 4 with this method & so far no further depletion.
2) the initial heat-up is about 13 seconds & then successive heat-ups is like 3 seconds since the unit is already warm. Then the draw time is up to 15 seconds. Users draw from 8 - 15 sec. I draw from 12 - 15 sec.
3) try pulling the stem out further & see if you have less of a draw resistance. Since your stem appears tight I assume you have a glass stem & not the newer plastic ones.
4) I tried stickstones stepping method. It works really well:

I skip level 2 & finish on level 4.
5) level 6 (or rather 3 red) is concentrate mode. I have not used it, but the heating cycle time is different from what I hear. Randy from PIU doesn't use the Ghost for concentrates as he thinks there are better dedicated concentrate vapes for, well, concentrates.
6) Charges in about 2-1/2 hours depending on battery level.
7) the new Ghosts with the latest firmware produces even more vapor & the battery lasts longer.
If you have the vape, an extra battery, the fast charger, the crucible holder which comes with 5 crucibles (& 1 with the vape), a stirrer, a grinder, a travel case & herb, you have everything most users will ever need. If you want go for broke, throw in an extra heat sink assembly for cleaning convenience. And don't forget you get a 5 year warranty & excellent CS.
This here is a fabulous deal:

@ghostvapesofficial, or anyone else, if I got anything wrong above, please do correct me.
@stickstones, a special request: Could you please put your disclaimer at the end of your post, even if you have to bold it so it's noticeable? Do you know what a pain it is searching for specific posts of yours when they all begin with the same disclaimer in the search page.
