@Ohm and Away - thanks for your openness. It helps us help you!
This is my first time attempting to use a dry herb vape as my primary/only source so it's as much of a test of that as it is of the device itself.
You're already on the right track here, but my biggest advise for you is to keep your expectations in check. I've had several conversations over the last year with manufacturers about challenges and roadblocks, and I think you are staring at what I think is one of the biggest ones - inflated expectations.
There are a lot of smokers out there who want to try vaping and the first thing they get is a concentrate pen. Those things are amazing...portable, convenient and effective. After that, they want to get back to flower and try a dry herb vape, and that's when things go south. There's not a dry herb vape on the planet that can keep up with a pen when it comes to size, speed and potency. They can get you just as high, and even higher if you want, but not in one 10 second hit.
That doesn't mean pens are better, just different. I prefer my flowers and their vapes, because I get a more full-bodied experience and I like to take my time vaping. But there's no denying how convenient and effective extract pens are.
Since you're working with the Ghost, I suggest you take advantage of its on-demand nature. Take a couple of hits and then come back to it ten minutes later for more. This way you'll give the vapor a little more time to work its way into your system and dose up. I'm too impatient to do it often, but when I do I'm reminded at how much more efficient it is to take the occasional hit over time instead of all at once in the beginning.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
