Ghost MV1 review.
The Ghost MV1 is revolutionary in the world of dry herb vaporizers. One thing is sure, it came out at the perfect time.
The MV1 is a full CONVECTION vaporizer. Unlike the Mighty/Crafty, Da Vinci IQ, Arizer, it is either a hybrid of conduction and convection or conduction. The only true convection units out there that I have come across are the swift pro, boundless CFV, and Fire Fly 2. I have never owned the first two but I do own actually the first fire fly and the 2nd. Fireflies had a learning curve. I would say, a steep learning curve especially when trying to teach your buddies. Discretion with the fireflies? Forget it, I’ve tried holding the firefly 2 like I I would with an e cig but it does not work like that. Like I said before in my initial box out of the box review, the MV1 CAN be discreet, look at these vapes with pod systems
https://vapordna.com/collections/pod-systems/ Simply pass it as a pod vape but just more efficient. But mods nowadays look a lot crazier than this vape.
This unit produces the most potent vapor I have ever smoked out of any portable unit. The Mighty was supreme but you get that initial high and since it is conduction/convection it will continue to burn contributing to the massive clouds it produces. The effects are there but I find myself wearing off of it pretty quickly. The taste of those units are amazing but the taste and vapor quality of the Ghost is beyond that. The effects last longer. It’s almost like a giant one hitter. That initial first hit is so strong that it just makes you wonder where the hell you are and what the hell just happened depending on the temperature. The preset temperatures are all great and will produce clouds. I usually have my first hit at around 415. If I want to last it longer I stick to my preset of 397.
The hit off the 415 I can get two amazing giant draws with a half packed crucible.
I have always done what I do call the “pinch” test with all of the new toys I buy. In a situation where you find little flower around let’s say, at the bottom of your baggie or jar, you have loose material, Sometimes just doing a one hit won’t do the trick. You want it to last long and savor it if you can right? The Arizer Solo, passed that the “pinch” test with flying colors, amazing at using it at the highest temperature. The Mighty also passed by pressing down what left flower you have and set the vape at 410. the Ghost is up there. I used the “pinch” test on 415 and got about 3 really good draws. Now if I want to feel the whole effect all at once like a one hitter. I would switch the temp to the concentrate mode. Full extraction, no combustion, huge clouds, all the effects rushing at you at once. No other vape can do that in an instant. I have noticed that the vape does tend to overheat after I would three continuous uses on the temps.
At the time of this review I am still working out kinks, wondering if anyone else has the mouth piece sorta leaning towards one side or do I have to adjust the mouth piece all the time? I have also ran into an issues with my units back peeling off... contacted customer service and Bruce from Ghost assured that they will send a replacement unit with a return label for me to send this unit back.
FANTASTIC customer service, I able still able to enjoy the Ghost a new unit coming soon. You guys rock so far.
I have also tried this out in public in the Chicago cold weather and works like a charm. Being cold really helps with the effects of having even a bigger cloud so it’s more discreet. Stay tune for a follow during the summer.
The smell of the unit is non existent. I will never buy a Pax ever again because of the stench left behind by the abv and residue even after emptying the chamber. I remember walking into a bar after vaping my pax and emptying it out. Even had a cigarette before I walked in, and yes I smelled like weed.
More discreet? Yes, but more well known in the outside community as well but with Juuls nowadays Pax is still discreet. Just not after you smoke it. Same with all other units. Haven’t tried the Haze square yet or the Argo. Maybe one day.
Cons:
-Tends to over heat to easily
I contacted CS again and gave me some pointers on how to prevent it. I heard that the Stealth version has new updates to the heat sink. That would be amazing if they decided to replace my unit with the stealth. I have the all silver or they say on the box, nickel model.
-Mouthpiece as mentioned before seems to be leaning towards one side and seems like I have to adjust it as I take my pull. More testing needed.
Some may see it as a con but
-without the app you are stuck on the 3 set temps and the custom temp I believe was around 401. I don’t remember
The crucible loading does take a little used to, after two of three tries you’ll be a natural.
-weight, it is the heaviest I know of on the portable side.
-loading. Taking the crucible in and out is a pain. Also it gets hot. But if you just let the vape sit for a bit, or even open the chamber and blow on it or when the unit if off standby mode, cold air the intake. Blow in it gently to cool it down. Trust me you hit this, you’ll be sitting on your ass anyways so it’ll cool down.
-battery charging. UGH good luck if you’re like me with just the usb.. TAKES forever. The fast charger if possible, cop that with this vape.
Pros:
-Excellent and potent vapor- if you can’t take the ghost with you. Take a giant hit and you’ll be good. The vapor is so potent, smacks you in the face.
-No learning curve
-Zero draw resistance
-Ease of use
-App functionality
-Discreet. (YES stay calm, replace your pod with the liquid pad with crucible, bring some juice, security asked wtf if that, it’s a mod show them the pod system, your juice and your golden). Even in my review there are pods that look crazy and mods crazier. Be smooth if there’s not bud there is no reason for them to take that shit. They would have no cause. If that still scares you, leave the Ghost at home or if you know you can have time to take it with you, take a hit then take a vape pen with you, then your good to go.
-NO SMELL
-CUSTOMER SERVICE
After contacting Bruce about the peeling of my unit in the back, no hesitation, offered to send a new unit with a return label so I can still use my ghost while waiting for the replacement. FUCKING top notch. I Have never dealt with any of my other vapes customer service but let’s just say, Ghost Vapor, thank you , you guys set the bar for other manufacturers.
Please let me know if you guys any questions. Thank you FC community for allowing me to share my thoughts!
Shout outs to Wavy vaporizers, Sneaky Pete, Vapecritic, 420Vape, and 420 science. All of these youtubers have allowed me to make my judgement on purchasing this vape. Thank you for all your reviews. “Stay wavy”, “Stay cloudy”, and “Stay up”.
