​Ergonomic, affordable, convection, cooling vapor path - all ​things sure to make the ​Pulsar Flow vaporizer a popular device. ​ The Pulsar Flow ​is an affordable high quality portable dry herb convection ​vaporizer. ​Available in multiple color options with a few unique features under the hood we expect this will be a stong mid price range contender. ​Although we have not had the chance to test this unit yet we will let you ​know about its details and ​features.

​Intended to be one of Pulsars next big sellers the Flow has been built with quality in mind. The herb chamber is lined with quartz to ​help deliver strong tasting vapor while the housing is made of durable material​s.​

An internal 1600 mAh battery powers the Flow. The 1600 mAh battery is better than your average mid range device's power supply. Considering the Flow comes in at around the $100 mark a 1600 mAh battery is pretty impressive.

​Located on the top of the Pulsar Flow vaporizer is a long magnetic oven lid that doubles as the vapor filter and cooling path.​ This lid is made of a durable metal. Overall the build quality and components used make the price seem very reasonable.

Convection units require a stronger battery to be effective. The Flow ​is ​​powered by a 1600 mAh battery as we mentioned above and it looks like it is a sufficient power source to do the job well. A modest 40 second heat time is needed to allow the convection heating method to do its job before you can achieve a good pull. ​Convection heating is the most efficient way to vaporizer dry herbs and helps to deliver better tasting not burnt vapor.

​Taking a page out of the playbook of popular vaporizer brand 'Firefly' is the long groove like vapor path. As the vapor leaves the heating chamber and heads towards your mouth it is forced to flow in and out of the embossed cooling filter pattern. Honestly, the Flow looks like a less sophisticated version of the popular Firefly 2 vaporizer (seen here). 

The long vapor path assuming it works on par with the Firefly 2 will require a quick wipe down after several uses. If the vapor path works even only half as good as the Firefly 2 it will remove a good amount of unwanted vapor particles from entering your body.

Temperature for the Flow ranges from 356 to 428 with haptic feedback. The one button design makes switching between the temperatures simple and leaves less room for wear and tear on the unit.

​Available in a few variations you can get the Flow i​n all black​, silver and black, carbon fiber, and also with a hint of nature with wood grain and silver.

The shape of the unit is similar to that of the Loto Lux which is another high end vaporizer that has recently been released. This teardrop design is comfortable to hold in the hand. The mouthpiece is ergonomic and feels natural to draw from. So we're told. ​The overall design and functionality of the Pulsar Flow is simple​with just one button. There is a row of five LED lights to indicate temperature settings located on the one side.

​We suggest you purchase the Flow from Vape-Smart here. If you and a friend both make your purchase at the same time you will receive an additional 10% savings.

Introducing Ghost MV1

Coming from the company GhostVapes is a new type of portable smart vaporizer for dry herbs and concentrates called the Ghost MV1. This new portable vaporizer has received praise from a number of industry critics and has been endorsed by festivals and celebrities through sponsored endorsements. But does this new portable vaporizer actually live up to the hype boosted by these endorsed sponsors?

​
The Ghost MV1's design is very much focused on user enjoyment, ease of use and comfort. The device is ergonomically designed to sit comfortably within the users hand​. The ​integrated technology combined with the tactile outer casing and soft touch activation button makes ​for a quality overall feel of the device.

​Is it worth the Hype?

​​Sifting through online reviews posted by people who have actually spent the money to buy this expensive device, it seems there are mixed reviews. Stemming from the company and the customer support we find that they are more talk then action. When compared to industry pioneers like Arizer (a Canadian vaporizer manufacturer) the support and ​appreciation for Ghost Vapes falls short.

​When looking at the performance of the device there are also mixed reviews. It is hard to have a device live up to the expectations of a purchaser when you have so many paid sponsors and reviewers trying to promote the thing as the best of the best. We find that the performance of devices such as the PAX 3, Davinci IQ, and Crafty have received overall much more positive feedback then the Ghost MV1. Perhaps there are some wrinkles that need to be ironed out with thsi new company. Some devices have glitches while others work just fine. For those lucky enough to have received a well working model they seem to like it just fine.

Vapor Method

The Ghost MV1 is easy to clean and built to medical grade standards. The innovative design helps to ensuring purity of vapor and is built for on demand advanced convection heating. Intelligent temperature controls help to regulate a truly unique user experience, while a heat recovery system optimizes your battery through saving power. The intuitive device is able to keep constant temperature that never changes. One of the most exciting new features that we are seeing for the first time in this new vaporizer is the high performance 'heatsink' that helps to achieve a cooler smooth hit every time. The Ghost MV1 has been built with all components in mind and has been designed to prevent material degradation allowing for multi use sessions.

Ghost MV1 Vaporizer - Join Ranks With Other New Innovative Vaporizers

​Every month there are new portable vaporizer companies popping up and every now and then there is one that makes some noise. In just the last few months we have seen rise to the Dipper Vape Pen and the Hydrology9 Water Vaporizer. The Dipper is a new multi-purpose dab pen that converts into a oven packing pen as well, and Hydrology9 is a new type of water vaporizer bong. Another new portable vaporizer that we will see in the next little bit that people are excited to try is called the Loto Lux Vaporizer which uses induction heating - the first portable vaporizer ever to do so.

Build Quality

The overall build quality of the Ghost MV1 is ​of high quality. ​The MV1 is made with mostly custom made parts and is designed very intuitively. The shape of the device and the way it is meant to be held is for ergonomic purposes. The entire device can be taken apart which is key for two reasons. The first being that you can easily clean and maintain the unit. The second benefit to this is in the case that a component stops working - instead of replacing a whole unit it will be easy to get a replacement part.

The MV1 is built to be tough and stylish, it is made with a lightweight alloy chassis with a tactile outer casing. The exterior can be ordered in a few different color options and also with different finishes.

Versatility

The Ghost MV1 is a 3 in 1 vaporizer that is designed to work with all forms of cannabis. If you are looking for a device that will work for both dry herbs and various concentrates this is perhaps one of the best options.

Portability

​The battery pack is not your typical off the shelf part - it has been engineered specifically for this device. The battery pack has embedded technology on a computer chip that helps to manage the connection and current between itself and the rest of the vaporizer. The battery capabilities are said to out perform any other portable vaporizer  the market.

Ghost MV1 App

The Ghost Vaporizer App looks like it is going to be an important feature for anyone who ends up purchasing the unit. The app will give you more control over the device and has some features that make it safer than pretty much any other vaporizer that exists. With the app you are able to lock the unit - this creates a 'gun in the safe' environment and keeps the device out of harms way to under age people. The App also has features that allow you to locate it if you misplace it, similar to the lose you iPhone feature.

Ghost MV1 Accessories

The Ghost MV1 vaporizer will definitely have a growing list of accessories that can be purchased to work along side the device. Currently available is a cleaning kit, a crucible kit, packs of glass stems, a fast charger, and a battery pack. These are all basic extra parts and accessories and we suspect that there will be a few other to come along shortly. The Ghost mouthpiece is easily removable so there will likely either be a Ghost Wip that takes the place of the glass mouthpiece or a Ghost wip that attaches on to the existing glass mouthpiece to connect it to a water piece.

Before you decide which portable or desktop vaporizer you are going to get, it is important to understand the difference between a convection vaporizer and a conduction vaporizer. Learning the difference will allow you to way the pro's and con's of each and make a more educated decision on your purchase. A convection heating method will optimize your session to improve taste and get the most out of your desired vaping medium while helping to prevent tar and carcinogens from entering your body. We have listed the best portable convection vaporizers by category below.

​The Haze convection vaporizer has 2 ovens that can be loaded with different canisters. You are able to vape dry herbs, concentrates and liquids. This is a 3 in 1 vape that is designed to be very versatile with its vaping capabilities. The standard package you can buy comes with 2 oven conduction screens and 2 oven convection screens. Included with the package is a dry herb canister and a concentrate canister.

A feature that some people view as positive while some would disagree is the replaceable batteries. This is a good feature because it allows you to have extra batteries on hand in case the one you are using dies. It is a feature that some people don't like because it is an extra thing that you need to worry about. Some people prefer internal batteries where you just plug your charging cable right into the device itself.

The Haze Dual V3 is on the high end of the portable vaporizer price scale and will set you back about $260. Other vapes in this price range are the PAX 3 and DaVinci IQ which do not have as much functionality but both contain software that can be paired with a smart device.​

You can think of convection as if you were cooking something in the oven opposed to a frying pan. Conduction is where your material is in direct contact with the heating element and a convection vaporizer is where hot airflow is used to heat your material. Just thinking about these two styles you can tell that the conduction style will require you to stir up your material so that it is heated more evenly, while convection will pass through and heat everything as even as possible. You can learn more about convective heat transfer here.

Vaporizers are all about efficiency and saving you money. Over the span of just a few months a vaporizer will save you enough money in material used to have paid for itself. Vaporizers help to reduce future health care costs that may be required if you were to continue using a combustion method to intake your desired material. Using a convection vaporizer over a conduction vaporizer will also add to these benefits. You will optimize your material even further and be able to evenly vape the material placed in the oven.
