Dear @memberdirectory,
Review of Ghost Vape MK1 Ghost Vape MK1
As many of you know I will not review any product that I do not like. I just keep my mouth shut.
But, the Ghost Vape MK1 is just an outstanding product and I want to share my experience with my first day with the product.
First I have tried and given away more vape products than I care to think about. None of them could compare to the Volcano Vaporizer. The Volcano is a great product if you are not on the move, it is perfect in the home. But, you cant put the Volcano in your pocket.
The Ghost Vape MK1 is as good as the Volcano for vaporizing, but you can carry it with you!
The packaging is a marketing dream. Unboxing the Ghost Vape MK1 was just fun. The product is solid and beautiful. Charging the battery for the first time was a practice in patience. I am not one who likes to wait but, I did. It has convinced me I will own a second battery as soon as they are available.
The crucibles for dry herb is a just a superior design. They are a little hard for me to use with a tremor, but with a espresso spoon I was able to fill and store my 11 crucibles, while waiting for my battery to charge.
I watched all the videos for a second time, while waiting for the battery to charge the first time. The video’s are perfect for the new user. I would like to see more written documentation, with pictures and diagrams. I just read faster than I can watch a video. I don’t like videos as final reference documentations. I expect this will come with time.
I played with assembling and disabling the heat sink. I can do it even with my coordination problems. I don’t think OT will like to help me come up with ideas on handling the small parts. But, I was able to do it at my kitchen table a number of times. I am very slow and did it carefully. Getting the top rubber seal on takes a bit of skill, but it was good practice for me. I did my OT hand coordination workout with the heat sink assembly.
I down loaded the IOS application from Ghost Vape. And played with the dogs and waited for the battery to fully charge. I want my batteries to last the way the where designed, so no cheating on the first charge.
Finally my battery was fully charged and I was ready to go. It took me a couple of times rewatching to videos to understand how to turn the MK1 on and get the temperature set to my preferred range.
Pairing the MK1 with my iPhone was a bit more challenging than I expected. A written description with a graphic would help. But, I got the MK1 paired with my iPhone set my preferred temperature. This really could be simpler in pairing the Bluetooth. If I have a problem as a technology savvy person, other people are going to have problems.
My first vaporizing experience, I thought the Ghost Vape MK1 was not working! But, cool clean vape filled my lungs. It was just like using my bothers and son’s Volcano. Cool flavorful vape! Over and over again. I would describe it as like drinking a fine wine or a nice new hard cider. Or eating a nice meal. It is a product that can be mindfully used. This is a top shelf product and I am a happy camper.
The best part is you can stop and your crumble is cool enough for additional sessions. I used one crucible for a couple of hours and felt very satisfied. Micro dosing is going to be a learning experience. I most defiantly over did my first sessions. But, my wife was not at home so, only the dogs saw how well my symptoms where relieved. I played with the dogs more than I am normally able to physically handle. So that says a lot about the product.
What I would like to see in a great product to make it even better. The crucibles need to come with the stainless steal concentrate pads. Ultimately I am going to use more concentrates than dry herb, but that is what will be required for me. I like leaf the best but a reliable supply of high grade leaf is hard to get. Medical grade concentrate is legally available in Minnasota with a prescription. So I am going to have to get stainless steal concentrate pads. I know the people at Ghost Vape will work with me.
I would like simpler written instructions over videos. Videos are a good sales tool, but bad a for end user reference documentations.
Pairing the MK1 to my iPhone was a bit of a challenge.
The glass mouth piece is comfortable. But, I will need to keep a supply of them on hand. I brake glassware all the time. That is my personal problem with coordination.
I would like a carrying pouch for my MK1 and will sew one over the holidays. A stiff bag with a Velcro fastener and a place to store my extra crucible holder.
The app has a good basic UI. The UI and features will improve over time. I would like to see the temperature actual vs target temp. I would even like to see a guided draw system in the application. Think of a guided meditation type feature. Draw now, inhale, stop and hold your breath, type of thing.
I would love if the device restarted at the last temperature, but that is just a design issue and I will be using the application to control temperature. Maybe they will update the firmware to reflect this preference.
So in summery Ghost MK1 is the best portable vaporizer I have ever had the pleasure of using. It just works. I am sitting here using it right now. It just works and works well. I am putting away my 1983 one hitter and giving away my PAX3 to a friend who will never be able to afford buying any vaporizer on there own.
I think the Ghost MK1 is as close to a medical delivery devices as the cannabis industry could wish to have in its arsenal of delivery methods. Plus, it is just a good solid product and I have waited years for a good portable product.
I give this product a 9 out of 10. The one point to make it perfect will come overtime. I would pleased to be associated with this organization. They are just doing things right.
