*Personal note, I don't post often but have been here for years, I have no affiliation with anyone (I do have mad respect for George at Dynavap). My use is medical and it's moderate. Been vaping since around '04 when I picked up a Volcano, at this point I could definitely get rid of a few vapes and their accessories...*
My units button has already become less difficult to open.
Am still nervous that little door for the crucible may be problematic somehow down the road, yet the hinge on it does seem to be large in appearance.
For what this thing delivers, I'm more than psyched so far, loving its performance.
Basically, as long as the thing holds up for a few years, without issue, unlike the Mighty (on 3rd), I'll be more than pleased.
It's what I wish the Mighty could deliver in terms of load size especially, that On Demand (when I desire a toke, of a few, yet not a 10-15 min session [edit - session that doesn't even get me where I'd like to be, Dynavap delivers quicker and harder than Mighty in that regards]).
Do think the load process is not very convenient, unlike the Mighty with the tool or the dosage capsules.
If the crucible lid actually attached/clicked onto the crucible, it be improved; would love dosage capsules crucibles (essentially that is one of the accessories coming, on their site).
I have yet to combust, did have some slightly darker spots on a couple loads, am stirring at times with the little pointy tool.
I'm with Stormsend in that I'll probably leave the Ghost at home when going out. The Mighty will be for when I'm with others and the XL Dynastash with XL Burl Omni will be for solo travels (I'll vapcap riding my bike before I dare with the Ghost, had a Kombucha cap crack and managed to leak directly into the protective sack that had my Mighty in it, Storz & Bickel warranty came back at $250 for a new one, as repairs would have cost more... got sidetracked there, my bad).
Regarding invertedisdead's photo, I'd guess that will clean right out, something leaked through crucible(?). Could you explain somewhat, what you were getting into when that occurred, like did you use the liquid screen?
