@ohmygodimsohigh .....Thanks for the video..Great job..I laughed, I cried
No problem! Couple of things I left out. One of my big concerns was the crucible lid. I can say that although not secure, it sits on comfortably and did not make me worry about my material being tossed around while changing it. Also, there is a buzz when it is heating like the VC said, but it is not annoying at all. I actually like it because it tells me that the heating element is working properly. As for hits, I started on level 2 and got about 4 hits of thin vapor, and I moved to level 3 where I got about 4 massive clouds and 2 smaller clouds, and I finished off level 4 with about three light hits. I checked the material after and some parts where a mix of light brown and green, so I could have def did a little more, but didn't want to.

This^ Made me spit tea on my tablet! You'd think that I would learn to swallow my tea before reading around here... Too many funny fuckers of combustion always just waiting to make me choke and splutter.the silicone,which is not a big deal,since silicone is pretty safe material for temps up to 220 C ,My grandma makes cupcakes in silicone cups,they are delicious..
I'm very happy indeed for all the new ghost lovers. As someone strictly on the sidelines, although puzzled by some of the company's moves, I wanted this device to be a winner and the early adopters to be vindicated. Way too many folks gleefully predicting doom, I don't understand that. Anyway congratulations to all those experimenting and posting their findings for those of us living vicariously through you.
FYI the Ghost is on eBay for $600 BIN!!! LMAO

^+1 420VZ is greatness. @Chronic Pain when I first glanced at your avatar I mistook the vapor it's blowing out for a middle finger & hand, lol! I love it! In my defence, my eyes look remarkably like your avatar's. Glad you're here and posting, you're with good folks! Not referring to myself of course, there's always got to be one bad apple in the barrel.
@ohmygodimsohigh Thanks so much for putting this review up, So I didn't make it very far into this last night. Not an indictment of it at all: It was late, I was
& then 
after all, I'm 
!But this morning, with a coffee & vape? It's genius, just wonderful! What a great way to start my day, thank you sir! I'm sure for someone with your level of professionalism, it was difficult to put a rough cut up but important for us since for months all I've read is "I wanna a review from someone else" & for many of us FCers your opinions & reviews mean more than most.
I would love to hop a plane & do some research w/you, would the missus mind if I crashed on the sofa for a night? My wife won't mind. Oh and a few of my FC mates would like to come along as well. It's cool, right? Promise it won't get out of hand.
I must respectfully agree to disagree, @Dynavaper with your judgement on best highlight, for my money, the winner is 35:00-35:22.
TBH, there were a few moments that just killed me!

@ohmygodimsohigh thanks for this pre-review^^; i've just some questions, it seems you've used only the lowest temp, never finished a bowl with higher temps only because of overheating issue??. I would like to see the clouds at higher temp and maybe see some use in a waterpiece (possible more overheating issue like that??)
Do you need to take very long/strong draw like the CFV for example? How is the draw restriction when you turn down/up the glass mouthpiece (you can have less or more restriction?).
I understand this is an on-demand vape so for session and back to back bowl it's better to have something else like Mighty/Crafty .... the Ghost is closer to FF2/Grasshopper mix??
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my english

After my first ghost session I forgot that u needed three clicks so I posted on vapelife forum the manufacturer got right back to me. Later some other member mentioned the three clicks. To say the least this vape extracts!!!!

I'm back after having the unit for a few days and wanted to chime in again.
The glass mouthpiece is a nice change from my mighty and grasshopper but as it is glass you should be extremely careful. The scraping noise while being addressed is very annoying. I also wish it was not quite as easy to take the mp completely out but I imagine my comment would be that I wish it were easier to take the mp out if they did that. The gurgling which I found annoying in Buds initial video while I wondered why it made the sound is actually an indication that you have it in the proper fully open position. It's not annoying in person and I equate it to bubbler satisfaction. You do not feel anything it's just a sound. I ended up using oil residue to lubricate the stem which helped with smoothness but the scraping is still there.
The heatsink is pretty easy to figure out and if you don't put it together securely it may come apart as you extend the mp. Just putting a bit of pressure on it will easily prevent it from coming apart.
The latch to open the device has become much more user friendly while closing the device will probably always need more pressure as you are sealing it closed. The crucible I'm still at times fumbling to get it in. The activity you see in movies where scientist are studying a subject and they're trying to put the right shape in the hole. Id say 20% of the time I'm trying to put a square block in a triangle hole. In a week I hope to be at 5%.
The device functions once you get it are very easy. There is really only TWO functions with the vape.
1. Holding the button down for 2 seconds.
2. Clicking the button 3 times.
You can set the temp when the vape is on or off.
To view battery life #1
Turn the vape on #2
Turn the vape off #2
Change temp #1 then #1 (cycle to which temp you want Then leave it alone)
If the device was on then start your session. If the device was off then turn it on.
So I initially had some really dark specs that looked close if not combusted. That has not happened since I started using finer and even grounded material. When I heard coarse I think I went too coarse and it was too uneven and caused hot spots. Again I've not had a single issue since I just ground my material like normal and filled it to the top of the crucible.
The noise. I admit when @ohmygodimsohigh Made the noise I laughed so hard as it was spot on. Well done sir. I will say it is noticeable with absolutely no background noise but out of over a dozen sessions I've only heard it two or three times. For me it's easily forgotten and hardly heard.
The device gets warm but not hot for my usage. Holding the device below the silver chamber and I feel no heat at all. My device has not overheated. I'll also note the device knows if the chamber is open or if the heat sink is not in place and the warning is similar to the overheat message. A device where the heatsink and door are not closed or sitting properly may cause this warning but I'm not completely certain.
Vapor quality is smooth and potent. I find temp 3 or 4 as my go to temp. The unit is extremely efficient as .1 goes as far if not further than .25 in the mighty.
While my hopper can produce bigger clouds I find the mv1 is satisfying in cloud production and obviously effect. The mighty is much easier to use but the mv1 is more efficient with smoother vapor.
Finally the service from ghost vapes is phenomenal. They have a huge presence on the vape life forum and take time to speak with their customers for feedback and Q&A sessions. I actually broke the bottom of my mouthpiece and they sent replacements right away for free. (My first glass mp vape cut me some slack).
My adapter for the mighty works and I did do a session through water. More to come on this.
Overall I'm enjoying this vape. Im still looking out for issues around reliability and how well the unit functions. There is a learning curve but I hope my experience helps your decision. Vape on.

is this thing on?
I couldn't find it in this thread, but how precise does the temperature management work? And what is the temperature range? I think the Mighty seems quite stellar in holding the right temperature. In a way I miss an adequate Display on this, but ok, if it has an reliable App it would be ok - though that's kinda Crafty. A unit that big and at that price - I'm surprised it has no display. BUT it all comes down to how good it holds selected temperatures and how consistent the unit is. ...by the way, can it be set on any temperature or just to set intervalls?

I was thinking this afternoon: the early-adopting FCers who, for months, endured so much negativity about the Ghost they had set their sights on. There were always going to be some issues when it's a mach one especially from a brand new company looking to innovate right out of the gate. But for the most part, opening comments are it delivers (again for the most part) on the claims made by company spokesman @VCBud. I bet @Baron23 still hasn't stopped giggling, makes me smile to think how pleased he must be.
So while I'm sure the happy new Ghost owner feels good about holding steady, keeping the faith and ultimately being rewarded for that, I am also fairly certain @VCBud feels vindicated as well. In fact, if I were the Vape Critic I would pull up the Ghost MV-1 Speculation and Shipping Thread and doing a big fuck-you dance, whilst shooting out nasty PMs to my most ardent critics. But I'm a small petty man and no doubt Bud will stay classy. Still I bet every once in a while he'll look in a mirror and say, "Fuck 'em!" but maybe this scenario is only occurring in my mind. I can think of a couple people that should be sitting down to eat some crow.
So come on all you Ghosties, keep it coming with the first & second impressions. Or did only a handful of folks pull the trigger? I know it's Sunday so maybe y'all had too much research with your new delivery system last night and can't log in. Hmmm? Not because you don't know your password but because you can't remember your name.

Am i right in thinking that this is a vape that "the vape critic" has a vested interest in ? Shareholder for example? Apologies if this has already been answered in the thread as i dont have time to read the entire thing.

I'd make sure the floor wasn't wet before doing any fuck you dances. Quite a few problems reported on his forum. Overheating is especially concerning. Hold on a second, just waiting for my on demand vape to cool down so I can use it.
![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
More people seem to be having issues with uneven AVB than those who aren't. For a device that is supposed to be less finicky than the Firefly, it really doesn't sound like it. Forum rules prevent me from linking the thread, but google search "Users' Ghost MV1 Ratings and just read the thread if you are thinking about buying this device. A lot of first hand information in there.
Now I know people think I'm out to sabotage this vaporizer for some reason (hilarious) but it's really not true. I do think a lot of very bold claims have been made and I have stated my honest opinion as them, as have many other members. Should people wait a few weeks before buying to see how these kinks get ironed out? Maybe. If they wanna buy one right now that's cool too.

) First of all ,dont be quick with the celebration dances. Ghost might have proven to be working ,but there are many things left to prove, like reliability upon time and that is better than other convection portables like the Zion/TUBO/Milaana/Instaheat/MVT/Pipes project ,so far nothing i've seen about the Ghost makes me think it delivers better experience.I really like how air circulates in the MP,but i think that this might cause a lot of reclaim quickly ,which can result in clogs and inhalation of oil globs,time and users will tell.Please come back to this thread in two months and those things above will be answered.
All that negativity was brought by the type of marketing used for this device, it was very bold and until now it has only checked the boxes - "It works" and "has good flavor" for 320$ ,i dont think that should be a surprise,other vapes has that for even less. I also want to see the unit hooked to an Water pipe so we can check if it the heater can keep up with monster draws.
Sorry if there is a list of the 320 grams of materials involved in the construction but havent seen it yet ,also havent seen an opened unit,so we can believe with our eyes that everything is cool and safe.I perfectly understand if they want to protect their trade secrets and we never see such thing..,anyway other manufactures seems to not have a problem with that though,so you never know.
The claim that silicone wasnt in the airpath also contributed to the negativity ,cause it kind of reminded me of how Healthy Rips tried to market their unit as convection only while it is hybrid in nature,and that misadvertising cause the same type of negativity,making people feel like they are bullshitted.
With all that being said ,sry if you feel that people like me have any interest in bashing a product ,rather than discover the truth about it.. This was never my intention I am very curious by nature and i am very fascinated by different vaporizer technologies,and try to contribute by finding info about models and their specifics ,i feel like FC is my home and i want everything to be kept straight forward and clean, so once again ,sry if i've shown negativity,i dont feel such thing for the Ghost or anyone involved with them.
I wish the Ghost team good luck with their product,for sure it must have been a hell of a journey and thoughts and emotions concentrated along the way,and for sure there is a lot of hard work involved too.Keep it up,take notes of the opinions/suggestions of the passionate crowd here and your products for sure will improve,like it happened with few others around here

Have you tried the glass MP for the Mighty/Crafty? It gives a different experience than the stock plastic, noticeably cooler
https://www.puffitup.com/Mighty-Crafty-Glass-Mouthpiece-p/qtqc.might-mp.htm
Exactly! Just like the FF2. Seems to be a characteristic of on demand?Overheating is especially concerning. Hold on a second, just waiting for my on demand vape to cool down so I can use it.
The Mighty never overheats. It just keeps going and going, plugged in or not. It's the only portable vape I've found that can keep up with constant use. I guess you're not supposed to use the Ghost constantly. Also, funny how Ghost pre hypes for months, but S&B simply drops Crafty/Mighty on their website unannounced...
Am I the only one who found it serendipitous that after Bud makes a video (fighting with his old Mighty with the broken button), that Troy makes one and the brand new Ghost overheats

Since I am a cleaning obsessive I clean my vapes after every session. I rotate vapes. Taking apart is easy but i haven't figured out how to easily snap back on the metal cap before putting in the glass. It just takes awhile and being usually quite adjusted it is tough until I learn to do it like the VC in his latest (FULL) video where he shows cleaning.
BTW I seem to be able to clean it to no smell and thus travel safe. No other vape of mine can I clean so completely.
Love the construction feel of this. A small tank and the speed of heat up makes it a moderately easy to use vape out and about.

Thank you guys for all the aboveposts, I can't/don't wanna argue any of the excellent points made. I'm pleading guilty to stirring the pot; I figured if I pushed the right button someone would correct me? That wasn't nice, I broke the rule. I like playing devils advocate sometimes. TBH, I shouldn't be posting here at all as I have no skin in this game. I solemnly swear that I won't post in this thread again until I use/own one, that seems fair?
My feelings: Price tag is too high, especially since accessories that should be included cost $$. I still don't dig those tacky finishes, its weight would pull my shorts/jeans down, nobody wants to see that. I'm also worried about my dexterity/arthritis issues, the loading process seems too fiddly. As a med user, it puts me off they tout the "medical grade" materials used in the design but medical users obviously weren't considered when designing this vaporizer. Maybe their next device will be more inclusive of disabilities.
Their marketing clearly illustrates they don't care about my demographic, they're courting sexy 20-somethings at the beach or perhaps selling falafel in parking lots as they follow the Ghost Concert Tour bus. I feel other vape companies I admire would use that money on product R&D. And as @ohmygodimsohigh so brilliantly pointed out, they could have addressed some obvious shortcomings. That "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" alone is a deal-killer for me, as I have tinnitus/hyperacusis and couldn't bear to be in the same room with a whiny noise that pitch. How could anyone think that is a good thing? And the glass mouthpiece scraping? Fuck that. What's simply annoying for Troy would have me coming out of my skin. It's just not acceptable for the luxury price tag. Every interaction with a luxury item should bring pleasure to the experience IMO.
Bottom line, you guys are right. It's waaay too early for celebration dancing. IIRC, folks liked the ff2 at first until its failings became more pronounced with continued use. I hope that's not the case here, Id like to see more vaporizer companies with quality products, trying to innovate, taking pride in what they do. PEACE
