The middle looks so much more dark and then the sides still have some life left in them.
Did you stir the bowls?
I get the same issue with my Haze Square but that’s because my coil is super old, need to replace it and it is totally warped and misshaped.

@Pyr0 - those results are not the goal. I think you've got a bad unit. Get a replacement and let's see how it goes.

After a Google hangouts call with GV, they're sending a replacement 
Can't fault the level of service
Massive thanks to Nerissa @ghostvapesofficial too
@ginolicious I don't stir and GV faq specifically says there should be no need

I'm with you. Stirring is just a pain in the ass with the crucible design and this vape in particular imo.After a Google hangouts call with GV, they're sending a replacement

I'd rather just lose out a little and leave a bit not being extracted than having to stir with this vape.
That sounds great @Pyr0 , I have followed and sincerely hope you get the performance issues solved with the new unit. And of course I feel partly responsible. I mean, if I had sold you my Splinter Z instest of mate Dave...haha, I am glad you quickly gravitated towards the MV1 and really hoping it works out.
That FP is some pretty tough conoetition, but no reason the MV1 can't find a niche right?
Good luck anyway man and thanks as always for sharing everything here.

@Pyr0 your results look similar to what I have been getting. I changed my draw and grind and stopped tamping the crucible at all. So far, so good. I hope you can get your Ghost to perform to your expectations. It really has a unique vape signature that I have not found in many other convection vapes.
p.s. you know you don't have to vape the seeds......sure might impact the flavor profile.
Cheers!

@Pyr0 Regarding getting dark bits in the middle and greener bits around the edges; In my testing that's the result I got from over packing and/or using material that was too fine. From the photos I'd guess your issue was the former rather than the latter.
Regarding my own ongoing testing of the device and assessment on the viability/use of dry herb vaping as part of my own daily intake;
- I haven't learned to enjoy the flavor of dry herb vaping. I love the taste of my distillate and oils, and of course I grew up on the taste of combusted herb. I just haven't come to appreciate the taste of vaping herb in the same way.
- I mentioned the difference in high before but I'll mention it again as I think it's important and it seems to be the main/only advantage of using dry herb instead of distillate/oils: The high I'm getting is far more wide ranging than I get with my oil pen, and frankly I prefer it. I have to work harder to get there, it feels like a chore, I'm not a massive fan of the taste but when I'm high it's a really good, well rounded effect.
- It's no where near as convenient as a pen and never will be. I'm also still frustrated by how long it takes to get high and the general effort involved. To understand how/why, consider these numbers:
If I'm using really good distillate then I get through between quarter of a gram to half a gram per day, we'll call it 0.35g. When making this kind of distillate I get about 6g for every 100g of herb I use. This comes out between 5 and 6 grams per day in pre-extraction dry herb.
Now lets say each crucible is about 0.15g. That would mean vaping roughly 35 crucibles per day to get through the same amount of herb [insert generic "ain't no one got time for that" meme here]. I understand that direct comparisons like this are a bit off due to differences in efficiency and stuff, but I still think it's a useful way of thinking about it.
Overall: I'm going to be using my pen as my main "go to" device for now, but will continue to use my MV1 in the evenings as a supplement to help make sure I get the full desired range of effects. My next test will be attempting to use a wax pen and rosin press full time for a few weeks to make yet another comparison.
Special mention: Ghost customer support has their shit together, and that's really important. I've read lots of horror stories about other companies and this wasn't a horror story. The thing broke, I sent them a photo, they sent me a new one, they didn't force me to risk sending the used one through customs, and I couldn't have asked for better service. 10/10.

@Ohm and Away you need a vape that can crush massive rips through water and kill a bowl in a hit or 2. Makes it much easier to achieve those types of results you want.
_______
Just got my stealth and goddam is it a nice vape. Seems smoother and faster to produce vapor than the original, although I only borrowed that for a week or so and have only put 2-3 bowls through the stealth. Used the app for the first time and I really like how it just automatically connects when you pull it up and you can change the temps right there. Wouldn't think I'd enjoy an app but it really is convenient.
Will check back later.

Hey, I could be missing something but wouldn't 0.35 g of distillate, let's even call it 100% cannabinoids, be 0.35 g THC++
Lets call your herb 25% THC ++. So, you need 4 time as much or 4 x o.35 g = 1.4 g flower @ 25% yields same 0.35g. Your 0.35g of distillate can't be over 100%, correct? Or ???
And the MV-1 does seem to have the "special sauce". That crucible seems to have the effective punch of crucibles 3X as big, IME. It really produces well beyond its weight-class

Not sure if we're on the same page regarding the math, though as a sidenote when I say "distillate" I'm talking about home made stuff, not pro quality, and I'm referring to distillate not rosin.
Regarding the math directly there seems to be some confusion so I'll try wording it differently: I get (roughly) 6 grams of distillate from 100g of herb. To use that same amount of herb (100g) over the same course of time in an MV1, I'd have to be hitting well over 30 crucibles per day which just isn't practical. The math you're using seems to be assuming I get 25g of distillate from 100g of herb which is unheard of afaik (that's about the amount you'd expect from rosin though, which may be where the confusion is coming from).
Regarding the water attachment idea from @AJS thanks for the suggestion but it's a no go for two reasons; My wife and the law. My wife is currently about 6 weeks away from giving birth to our first child. That's what the switch to vaping was about, and it's also why I want to be able to keep things subtle. She knows I like to be high most of the time and that isn't going to change, but she doesn't want to see it, hear about it, or smell it constantly. The pen has been amazing in serving those purposes and I'm hoping wax will be too (I've ordered a rosin press but haven't found anywhere that will DHL me a wax pen, still looking). Having a big ol' bong on the table and running my flashing, vibrating MV1 through it is kind of the opposite of what I'm going for.
The legal part is more complicated but as a very simplified overview, you get in a lot more shit if they find drug paraphernalia than if they just find herb, so keeping anything that looks like traditional smoking equipment isn't a good idea. The MV1 is so unrecognizable that I don't consider it to be much of a liability.

@ataxian civilized as shit, the Ghost is my man. I have been loving this unit since getting my Stealth in the draw 
Given your history with glass, this thing is basically unbreakable. I have dropped it a few times now or had the mouthpiece slip out while I was coughing and the Ghost must be immortal.
I'm going to learn how to post pictures today and rock some shots with the Ghost I won

I also found that my herb dosent look the same as on Davinci IQ or Omnivap (only two, which I can compare), after vaping (pretty consisten of herb use, on both of this). But on MV1 most of the time, I have dark spots in herb after vaping, my way of using it: "amber 2 - 2hits" - "amber 3 -2hits" - "red 1/2 - 3hits", always have some really dark herb inside. I was trying to load crucible, loose, tight, stir during vaping, diffrent way of grinding, no help. Its dark, then really brown in the middle and alwasy some green on top.
But ?! Who would I care about it
, if for 110% MV1 dose his job perfectly 
. I had to use on IQ almost 3-4 loads and vape by myself, to get to the point where I want to be. OmniVap I love it, but still need to use more then on MV1, to get the right feeling, and not even close with the taste like from MV1.
MV1, eh well, its get me pretty high, with almost nothing (most of the time I go thru 3-4 crucible). And that is the point, for now, why I dont care about hot spots, or some inconsistent of herb consumption. Its reall money/herb savior, for people like me, where the herb are illegal
.
for right now, its my number one, just love it
sorry for english

I was going 2 get a GHOST when they first came out!
Since I have SCA and vaping is da MEDICAL device that is most effective!
One day I get one!
@MinnBobber is a decently contact vaporizer expert that reach out with a olive branch!
It’s one I one day want 2 own and MEDICATE with it? (FLAVOR is exceptional I heard?)

Can you blow visible vapor that's not really vapor and something else is going on?
It's a dumb question, but I don't know how else to phrase it. Sometimes it seems like I've taken 15-20 hits on a crucible to the point that it should be long since done and I'm still blowing out visible vapor pull after pull. The hottest I vape is typically 410 and I ramp up from Amber 1 as suggested.

No. And 15-20 hits on a crucible doesn't seem probable.

You actually have a distilling rig to crack the resin with? Do you really mean distillation or do you mean hydrocarbon extraction?
I'm a bit confused here as I don't know too many folks who could put together a true, post extraction, distillation rig or who could afford one.

Black Friday came and went. I live vicariously through fellow FC members who have received their new toys and spend my time combing through pages of vape joy and sorrow concerning the viability of new products ...
That being said, TODAY MY GHOST ARRIVED!!
They shipped the fast charger days after because they were waiting on em'. So by the time I finish work, pick it up from the postal office, it'll be tomorrow before I get to put it to the test. El Jefe will be the test strain
Looking forward to adding my two cents.. Also looking forward to my stealth M which won't arrive until next week
@ghostvapesofficial and the rest of FC... So. You're telling me. If I open this package. Disassemble. Reassemble. Press power. Run one session THEN proceed to charge said battery, i will ruin my brand new stealth MV1 and void warranty?? I
*smiling as I'm about to clutch an MV1 for the first time
Edit *apologies for the double post AND
I've read the disclaimer concerning the battery. I'll Charge it up n give if a go tomorrow!
First impressions .... The weight is surprising. Alot heavier than expected, but like I see the consensus to be, it feels really nice in the hand and looks cool... Its also smaller than I expected.... Heavier yet smaller. Looking forward to tomorrow

It may well be the case that what I'm talking about doesn't meet the definition of distillate. I did indeed purchase everything required for a basic short path rig but for whatever reason (mainly probably error on my part, I'm not a chemist) I wasn't getting great results from it so have reverted to making basic oil.
This probably isn't the place for me to get into why I reverted to that, but if there is a thread somewhere more relevant to this line of discussion, please point me in the right direction and I'll be happy to continue it there.

You could start a thread under ask FC or concentrates.
@Ohm and Away have you considered edibles (Tinctures and RSO style concentrates)? Edibles may be your best bet with a baby and the law to consider.

Good suggestion thank you, but I have tried and I really don't like the effect (which I find to be very different).
Bad news regarding my MV1: The new one has just broken in exactly the same way as the one it was sent to replace. This has obviously left me very curious as to whether I'm the only person experiencing this issue, and whether I'm somehow "using it wrong" causing it to break like this. In any case the device is now unusable again.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your MV1. I will PM you. Let's see if we can set up a video chat with one of our CS team. They can check your technique.

Well, I’ve been using my Stealth MV1 for the past few weeks. All has been going we until last night. I was using the unit on my night walk with my dog. I pressed the vape button in and it stuck. I cannot get the button to release and it just keeps buzzing and trying to heat. I tried a variety of techniques to release it with no success. I submitted a ticket on Ghost’s website but no word back yet. So bummed.
