Ghost just released their matte black Stealth Edition MV1, same price as the other colors but this one is not shiny and is completely blacked out :death::fire:
As of today all units (all colors) are shipping with the updates this Stealth unit has, which includes:
Updated Heat Sink assembly - if you still have the original heat sink and mouthpiece there is a new version that is a little more consistent and has less issues.
Updated door latch - some people reported problems with their latches over time and they worked on fixing any issues, it now opens and closes very smoothly right out of the box.
Tightened tolerances - they've been making slight tweaks over time to "tighten" the feel of the vape and all its parts.
New firmware version - I'm pretty sure they will be rolling this update out to everybody real soon, but I'll let them give the final word on that.
New UV finish on back side - The "soft touch" finish that some of us had problems with has been upgraded to a highly durable matte-UV finish that will not peel.
Trade-in program for forum members:
I'm going to leave the fine details to Ghost, but they are going to be doing a "trade-in" program for you guys with this new Stealth model.
If you have an original unit and you want this new one they will sell you the Stealth one for almost 50% off, then send you a prepaid shipping label to return your used unit to them.
With the returned units they receive they're doing something really cool and admirable, they teamed up with Vitolo from FC and will be donating all of the returned units to veterans and other low income people with disabilities who are in need.
Sorry it's a no from me. I had an earlier mv1 and sold it because of a couple issues. I will watch these for a few months and wait for user feedback if its positive I may consider one again. $300 is too much to take chances with.
Shoot, I'll buy one to add to my collection. I've been waiting for a stealthy version for awhile now. In agreement with Bestbuds, wish there was one coming out that was a tad smaller.
The big question for me though is, @VapeCritic@ghostvapesofficial If I buy one of these, I want to buy two or three additional of those black heatsink assemblies as well. It's extremely convenient swapping them out, I'll go through two to three heatsinks every week and then clean them all in one shot. I would like to do the same with this. Will you have additional heatsinks available? If not now, when would you expect to ship? Thanks
I want to like the ghost mv1 and yes this is by far the best looking one. I need performance and reliability. It's too bad I cant try one out for a couple weeks and put a few ounces through it.
The color is definitely cool. And the fact that they are going to donate the used units is amazing. That being said it was a bit over marketed for what the surprise wound up being.
I'm surprised nobody asked yet, so I guess I am the one who has to ...
How noticeable are the changes in the perfomance of the unit?? I know it's still too early for a serious, full valoration, so I undestand it may take some time. No hurries.
And as for the appearance, what can I say as Mr. Black? :chin:
I love the deal since my original one is so battery eating compared to my later one. Just waiting for the ghost deal to come through. The new one looks so cool wow.
Honestly i'm not just bullshitting, the updated units are noticeably more consistent from draw to draw. I can't imagine many people having trouble getting these to work anymore.
It's less finicky with how you load the herb meaning less variations in performance. Overall just more user friendly and less technique involved.
The updated heat sink and firmware upgrades are really the two things that influenced performance.
