Except for the Ghost, I think I own all the vapes you laid out in the size comparison.
How sad is that! :-#

Get a room! :-!

I like the rose gold!!!

it's getting dark here so the colors aren't perfect but it's pretty close, chex below, I'll post more daytime shots asap and I also still plan on doing my ultimate comparison video... once I can build my confidence back up :’( :-!

lol I came here expecting a 90's battle of the bands. bah

I do fit the beach demo… Being a California native. I’ve driving that route. It’s along highway 1 in California in-between Big Sur and Monterey. You can see the famous Bixby Creek Bridge.
Walking along the beach with my vape is heaven! X-)

I think they need more sexy beach guys, @Magicman! What, like, only men (and gay women) vape? Where's the eyecandy for those who are attracted to men, if they're using the "sex sells" approach? (Actually, less beaches... give me a disaffected guy in a leather jacket or something. >:) )

The "About Us" on ghostvapes.com says "Our company was founded in 2015 by 3 lifelong friends with 90+ years combined experience in manufacturing, marketing, technology, e-commerce, IP and a proven ability to succeed in business." That sounds pretty impressive. But I think it must be like 89 years 11 months in the other stuff and about 1 month in marketing, or someone really needs a refresher course. :P

I really don't like that snob appeal marketing BS, personally.

(@VapeCritic Hope this is okay. People were getting all confused and panicked in the main thread... If it's inappropriate to post here, I apologize, and please delete. Thanks. :) )

HOW TO RESERVE YOUR MV1

Use the link below. It will just go to Ghost's main page, but by using this link, VapeCritic gets credit for sending you. Scroll down to "Choose Your Finish" and pick one. This will open a new page showing your chosen finish and the price. Enter your email address and hit "I want it."

VapeCritic's Referral Link

That's all for now. This just reserves your choice of color for when the warehouse gets all the stock in.

When that happens, you/we should be notified that your vape is now in stock and available for order. At that time, be sure to use @VapeCritic's link (upcoming) to order so that he gets credit for the sale and you get your free rapid-charger!

PLEASE KEEP GENERAL DISCUSSION IN THE OTHER THREADS. THANKS.

I'm sorry for the confusion bro!!!

It happened too fast I didn't have a chance to announce it properly, but Ghost is also planning on posting an announcement shortly also.

HERE'S THE DEAL:

You can now "reserve" your MV1 unit to secure your spot in line when stock starts shipping out. All you provide right now is your email to get on the list.

You guys are currently the only ones who know about the site being live and are getting first dibs at reserving.

This is my official Ghost referral link that gets me credit for referring you: https://www.ghostvapes.com/?acc=6f4922f45568161a8cdf4ad2299f6d23

It's OK if you reserved a unit without using the link, just make sure you use it when it comes time to order so that you get the fast charger and I get paid :-!

It looks like it will be a few weeks before they start shipping out orders from their warehouse, but I'll keep posting any updates I get here.

Please standby for a more straightforward post detailing what to do, and thanks again everybody!!

Sorry for confusion, however you reserved is all good!

Going forward if you use my referral link it'll guarantee i get credit

But for now you're GOOD, the really important part is making sure u use the link when u actually order (soon)

I'll post it in a more visible spot shortly!

When it comes time to actually place your order I'll have a special link to do that so you get the hook up

Shit you guys are too fast!!

I didn't get my referral link yet but it's OK just go ahead and get your reservations in!

So I started hunting for a log vaporizer. There are not many choices for someone who lives in Europe. So after some research I jumped and ordered a Musa vaporizer. Check them out on IG. The artist behind this vape is a great guy. He answers with both speed and honesty. It was a pleasure! 250€ + shipping and a month later I received it and now the honey-moon is over! Finally after a week of thorough "testing" I am ready to comment on the Musa.


The magic lantern.


The main unit. From the left. Musa vaporizer. 14.5mm adapter. Glass tube. Container.


Close-up on the power connector. The beautiful wood.

First things first, this thing is a looker. Oh yeah. Not only does it look cool turned off, but it also looks sweet turned on. While using it in a dark room, it reminds me of a lantern and I might add, that passing a lantern full of awesome taste to friends and the visual pleasure of looking somebody take a sip from a wooden lantern is worth something on its own.


Assembled. You can see the light bulb inside the glass heating tube (a fine sheet of mesh covering it).


The power cables. Not the prettiest, but works.


On off switch on the side and a temperature knob on the front. Right now set to about 3:30, thats where I like to start.

Heating. You plug it in and dial the temperature and give it a few minutes to warm up. As the heat element is actually a halogen lamp, the higher the temperature the "brighter" the lamp will get. A nice hint. The power adapter and temperature switch is the eyesore of the setup. Its rather primitive, but it gets the job done. After about a week of use I have got used to the temperature knob and feel confident dialing in the right temperature. Does it get hot? I have done a few hour long sessions, and I was able to hold it in my hand without getting burned. Yes it gets warm (and maybe just a little hot), but can be handheld without any real inconvenience.


Fully assembled, power on.

Quality of vapor. Its top notch. I usually start a session on lower temp, get nice smooth tasting mild clouds, amazing taste. After a couple of rounds I crank the temperature up a little and get them big nice lush tokes. The temperature gauge may be a little cryptic at first, but that is nothing an observant mind cannot overcome. I do not own a bubbler (yet), so all my sessions have been straight up clean Musa. The glass tube does a good job cooling down the vapor. First time I used the vape, I went too far and accidentally combusted the herb, and this may sound weird, but it tasted more like something roasted than something burned. Though with long sessions, when I am trying to get all out of the herb, the vapor does get just a little hot and dry, so I do feel just a little discomfort, but nothing as bad for me to stop. I must emphasize that all this "testing" was done together with my partner and she did not bail once and neither of us smokes, so if we can manage, then you can do.


A look inside. You can see the light bulb behind a fine mesh sheet.

Oven. Oven is a mesh container. Simple enough, just two pieces. I like the fact that I dont have to pack it full. I once packed it full, had a session with 4 people. It worked, but now I prefer a half filled oven. I found out that you can actually stir the herb with your breath if the container is half full only by momentarily pulling harder. This works a treat, I dont have to stir at all during a session, resulting in a evenly baked bud. When packed full, I do find that the herb in the bottom does get vaped more and comes out more dark brown if you dont stir. But the design is such that you would have to wait for the container to cool of before trying to open it for stirring.


How far I push my herb.

Efficiency. Once you are friends with the temperature knob its amazing. You can put a pinch in and get vapor production. Easily get your bud coming out very dark brown. The vape has a lot of power, goes to 300C (570F), well above anything I will ever need. So you can really fine tune it to your herb and style, making most of your herb.


Top view. After a week of use.

Ease of use. This is by far my favorite part of the vape. I just like using it. Plug it in, check the temperature dial. Grind some herb. Fill container. Once you are ready, throw container in, put the adapter and glass tube on top and start inhaling. Slow long pulls work best, I just put a few fast "sips" in there to force the herb to move around in the container. It works at every angle! You can do it sideways, upside down, laying on your head, it just works. Great for groups and friends. You dont have to go through a set if instructions for everyone. Just grab it, and slowly breath in. And it dust looks so cool to pass this vape-lantern around, has a more "ritual" feeling to it, touch of magic.


Pro-Tip. The glass adapter and container are a tight fit. You can actually have the container "stick" to it. This makes removing the container super easy. Just take off the glass tube, make sure the container comes out with it. So now you have a on-demand vape.

Maintenance. All you need to clean is the glass tubes and the container. Just a few q-tips a month and heat the container with a flame torch. This is where the extra power comes handy. Drive the vape to those high temperatures (manual refers to this as the "burn-off mode") for a few minutes and you are done with maintenance. Simple enough.


My extra glass heating tube and light bulb (12v 50w Osram).

Repairs. This is where this vape shines. There are only two things that can fail on the main unit. The glass heating tube and the light bulb. I got an extra of both, so I am set for long time. You only need to overcome a few hex screws to open it and do the all the repairs that will ever be needed. Top scores here!


Bottom view. A mesh window for air intake, cork bottom protectors and two holes for the hex screws.

It may seem that I am being overly generous with my review. I did a lot of homework before I ordered the Musa. I really wanted something that will last me for years to come and would be efficient on the herb. This vape delivers. Its not only that, its also beautiful to look at (except the power adapter), its beautiful to use (works at every angle). Works both as a session and on-demand. It is easy to do DIY repairs. It really is a no fuss vape.

I would rate it 9,5/10.
Happy to answer all your questions. I dont know the maker of Musa. This is was my honest review.

I don't want to alarm anyone because I've been wrong before with my ETA's but I would get your trigger fingers ready to reserve a unit within 24 hours - could be a little more, could be less, updates will be posted here as I get them!

I believe your name and email is all that will be needed to reserve your spot, and I will have a link posted here on the forum as soon as the site is launched.

I truly appreciate you giving me second (and third) chances to fill in the blanks (Y)

Just took this clip:



Looks like I need to work on a new review

Pleasing everyone is extremely, extremely difficult. I'm trying though.

Anyone else sick of all the complaining of an unreleased vape yet?

Thanks for posting,

In my original MV1 intro video I show a pretty big cloud from it, but you're right in my Part 1 review video I did not.

In my Part 2 follow up is the cloud size not visible when I take those huge rips? I'll take another clip to show max vapor production.

The thing is that I always have to consider so many different things about who is watching my videos: new users, veteran users, cloud chasers, light vapers, one hitters, etc

I've been accused in the past on multiple occassions of showing too much vapor production in my videos and being too focused on clouds, so your comment while appreciated is somewhat amusing.

I'll say it again, you can get big clouds from it, or small clouds, it's up to you. If you want to take a monster rip with a huge cloud and cough your brains out, I have demonstrated that.

Also, the capacity is 0.1g and for that load size the vapor production is excellent.

In regards to my comment about "needing to try it like this more", I was referring specifically to starting on heat level 5, which I don't normally do with any vaporizer (start on max temp)

Talk about feeling entitled to something. Bud doesn't need to cater to your every desires, and to make a new long review containing all the aspects you've mentioned. From your posts, you seem intense and greatly demanding and clearly, Bud's reviews aren't meeting your expectations.

Why not make your own reviews? Open your own review site if you don't already have one. You can make your own Ghost MV1 review, and make it way better than he does. Oh wait, only Bud has it, because he's got that huge recognition from peers and even professionals in the industry. I guess he must've had you dictating how to make proper reviews that whole time LE MAO :-! :-! :-!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that his review format is perfect, or that it needs to change, or anything like that. Personally, I couldn't care less how he does it. I also believe that constructive criticism is extremely important in any aspect of one's life, and that people who provide it on this forum are helping Bud make better reviews. I just don't like your comment.

Why not give the man the time to get all his videos out first. Clearly, he's managing everyone's impatience at this point, releasing multiple parts in order for us to have something every few days rather than wait an extended period of time and for the paranoia and conspiracy theories to explode again. I don't know if you've read those, wasn't pretty. Anyways, why not just wait until he does his thing, and then mention what you'd like to see, in a polite manner. Like a civilized person.

By the way, how do you like the semi-random bold text? You've inspired me in that matter! haha

Damn, this imminent launch is really bringing the random asshats out of the woodwork with their bizarre leaps of (non)logic, blanket statements and declarations based on no evidence, etc. I can't even get through any of the MV1 threads to actually respond to the real content because I have to keep stopping to tell off rude people!

Thanks for the follow up video! That's more of the Vape Critic we have all come to know and love. The Ghost will be a success, and all of us will be better off with the help of all your hard work and experience. The pressure is on now, but in the next 2-3months most here will have hands on experience and will be able to understand those small details that really make this vaporizer rise above others. You've done a great job trying to inform others, now all you can do is let the thing speak for itself and help clear up any remaining confusion. Your passion is clearly evident and hopefully your business ties are public and transparent to all now. There will be those few you will never be able to please, but for each of those there are scores of others that trust what you have to say. Thank you Vape Critic, well done!

SO RELIEVED you guys found this second vid more helpful!

I'm gonna keep reading your feedback and address/answer everything possible in my upcoming vids, thanks again guys I CANNOT WAIT for you to get yours

Here you go guys I can't thank you enough for your patience:



Off to bed for me now but I'll be back in the mornin 8-)

:’( :’( :’(

My beloved Mighty is only turning on 10% of the times I try now, so I've decided to quit while I'm ahead and retire it from use.

I considered taking it apart and attempting to fix it, but decided I'd rather keep this one as-is for my collection, I'll probably mess it up, it's an original from Oct 2014.

I still have a functioning Crafty that I use daily, so that'll have to do for the time being. I'll put getting a new Mighty on my to-do list ;)

I'm gonna miss ya girl!

I agree with pretty much all that you wrote. Also, while I am active here for reasons that appeal to me, I am also active there and personally don't find the need to put one down in comparison to the other.

There is a great deal of expertise and experience on FC if you know how to find it and who to listen to.

I would also say that at I believe least some of the folks who are criticizing FC may have some personal reasons for feeling that way that pertain to getting some time outs.>:)

Yes, its moderation is sometimes very heavy handed, but the place runs smoothly and you won't see some things there that would appear on less moderated boards.

Just filmed a new video answering all your questions and going into more details about everything, I'm editing now and will post it ASAP!

I promise you all that I've never been so confident about how quickly this vape will put a smile on your face.

Jeez guys, y'all are harsh on bud.. He's saved me a bunch of money with his reviews(as in not buying the wrong one that doesnt fit me best).. I'm glad he's going to get $$ off this vape (through his link) and I'll certainly purchase one because of him. There's absolutely nothing wrong wrong with being excited about a product you helped design. He works his ass off making all these vids for us and does the work so we don't have to.
Keep it up bud!
