Getting Started

Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge your Ghost²:

1. Connect the USB-C cable to the battery base
2. Connect to a USB power source
3. LED indicator shows charging status
4. Full charge takes 45-60 minutes
5. Device is ready when LED indicates full charge

Note: The Ghost² supports pass-through charging—use while plugged in for extended sessions.

Assembling the Device

1. Attach the eChamber:

   • Thread the eChamber onto the battery base
   • Turn clockwise until snug
   • Hand-tight only—do not overtighten

2. Attach the mouthpiece:

   • Thread the ceramic mouthpiece onto the eChamber
   • Turn clockwise until snug
   • Ensure a secure connection

3. Verify assembly:

   • All components should be secure without wobbling
   • No gaps between threaded sections

Powering On/Off

• Turn On: Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds
• Turn Off: Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds

LED will flash to confirm power state change.

360-Degree Radial Heating

The Ghost² uses radial sidewall heating rather than bottom-only heating:

How It Works

• Heat is distributed around the chamber walls
• Concentrate is surrounded by heat from all directions
• Results in more even vaporization

Benefits

Traditional Heating	Radial Heating
Hot spots at bottom	Even distribution
Potential burning	Reduced combustion risk
Uneven vaporization	Complete vaporization
Variable flavor	Consistent flavor

Best Practices

• Place concentrate in the center of the chamber
• Avoid overloading—spread concentrate for even heating
• Lower temperatures maximize radial heating benefits

Dynamic Heating Modes

The Ghost² offers three heating profiles:

Ascent Mode

Temperature gradually increases during your session:

• Starts lower, climbs to your set temperature
• Ideal for cold starts
• Maximum terpene preservation
• Best for: Live resin, rosin, flavor-focused sessions

Descent Mode

Temperature starts at your setting and gradually decreases:

• Mimics traditional torch dabbing
• Hot start with natural cooling
• Familiar feel for torch users
• Best for: Users transitioning from traditional dabs

Steady Mode

Maintains consistent temperature throughout:

• Predictable, repeatable results
• Even vapor production
• Simplest to use
• Best for: Daily sessions, consistent dosing

Changing Modes

1. With the device powered on, double-click (2 clicks) the button
2. LED will indicate the new mode
3. Continue double-clicking to cycle through all three modes

Temperature Settings

Five Temperature Options

Setting	Temperature	Best For
1	420°F	Maximum flavor, light vapor
2	450°F	Flavor-focused, moderate vapor
3	480°F	Balanced performance
4	510°F	Standard dabbing
5	540°F	Maximum vapor, thick concentrates

Changing Temperature

1. With the device powered on, click the button 3 times rapidly
2. LED color/indication changes to show new setting
3. Continue clicking to cycle through all 5 settings
4. Device remembers your last setting

Temperature Recommendations

• Live resin, rosin: Settings 1-2 (420-450°F) with Ascent mode
• Shatter, wax: Settings 3-4 (480-510°F) with Steady mode
• Thick concentrates: Settings 4-5 (510-540°F) with Descent mode
• New users: Start at setting 2 with Steady mode

Ceramic Vapor Pathway

Design

The Ghost² uses ceramic material throughout the vapor path:

• Ceramic eChamber heating surface
• Ceramic mouthpiece construction
• Isolated pathway from heat source to mouth

Benefits

• Pure flavor: Ceramic is inert—no metallic taste
• Clean vapor: No contamination from other materials
• Temperature moderation: Ceramic helps cool vapor slightly
• Smooth feel: Polished mouthpiece is comfortable

Usage Instructions

Loading Concentrate

1. Power on the device (5 clicks)
2. Unscrew the ceramic mouthpiece
3. Use the loading tool to place concentrate in the eChamber
4. Start with a rice-grain sized amount
5. Place concentrate in the center of the chamber
6. Replace the mouthpiece

Tips:

• Do not overload—the deep chamber has limits
• Room temperature concentrates are easier to handle
• Clean the chamber if residue is visible before loading

Taking a Hit

1. Ensure device is assembled and powered on
2. Load concentrate into the eChamber
3. Select temperature (3 clicks to cycle)
4. Select heating mode (2 clicks to cycle)
5. Hold the power button to heat
6. Wait 5-10 seconds for vapor production
7. Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece
8. Release the button and continue inhaling briefly
9. Exhale

Session Tips

• Draw technique: Slow, steady draws work best
• Button timing: Hold continuously while inhaling
• Multiple hits: Release and press again for additional heating
• Cooling: Allow brief cool-down between sessions
