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
- With the device powered on, double-click (2 clicks) the button
- LED will indicate the new mode
- 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
- With the device powered on, click the button 3 times rapidly
- LED color/indication changes to show new setting
- Continue clicking to cycle through all 5 settings
- 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
- Power on the device (5 clicks)
- Unscrew the ceramic mouthpiece
- Use the loading tool to place concentrate in the eChamber
- Start with a rice-grain sized amount
- Place concentrate in the center of the chamber
- 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
- Ensure device is assembled and powered on
- Load concentrate into the eChamber
- Select temperature (3 clicks to cycle)
- Select heating mode (2 clicks to cycle)
- Hold the power button to heat
- Wait 5-10 seconds for vapor production
- Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece
- Release the button and continue inhaling briefly
- 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
