My Chinese glass friend arrived today (hydrotube). My wife is out with friends tonight. The stars are aligned. Can't wait to see what I think of the GH through a little bit of water.
This is so true. It's so fun to have a new vaporizer and try all different things to make it work perfectly for you in many different ways. I feel like a scientist varying bowl sizes, temps, packing method, grinding consistency, drawing style, angle of holding the gh, etc. I may have overdid it "for the science", I'm so baked!!That's part of learning the required technique for each. To me, that's part of the fun.
Does anyone have a back-end that gets hot that is in perfect condition?
Between the two I have, one is rigid in every way, and the other one, that heats up, has some play when wiggled (where the clip joins and the stainless ring on the back-end [when held separate to the unit]).
I'm wondering if that is the cause of the high resistance and heat.
I get the same performance on either hopper no matter the back-end, but the blue one doesn't get hot. Battery life seems comparable too.
I have yet to see anyone say they had to slow there draw speed with this one
I can't tell how much I hope that ghl's second vape applies their convection know how, and abandons stealth in favor of larger or dual batteries and a longer air path. To me, that would be the end all-be all!That's the conclusion I came to at the end of page 436. Most of the advice from GH and the community is to pull hard. That ruined my mouth for days. It goes to show you that one persons hard, fast pull is a another person's long, slow draw. I'm a persistent and patient fuck. Now that I have a better grip on that, its time to take everything from the top! Still looking for that flavor. I honestly hated this thing for a minute and totally get why some % of people flat out reject it.
Its lucky its such a cool little bug otherwise it would have gotten squashed really fast. ... ...

It's not skinny for a grasshopperI think there is still plenty of hope for mods to this current design, though it would get rather long if you extend the airpath and fit in another battery. haha! Is that a modded grasshopper in your pocket or do you have an abnormally long and skinny penis? Seriously, dude, see a doctor.
I agree, though. GH2 FTW
I just tried the regular (not glass) mouthpiece from Mighty shoved into the silicone mp and it was pretty nice!I had one of these but never tried it with the gh. But i'm using a glass mouthpiece of my mighty vaporizer which is thinner then the roor tip. I think the roor tip could be too wide to fit into the hole of the silicone mp of the gh. I can really recommend the mighty glass mp or a mflb glass mp.
I am pretty sure I stated after first getting my GH, that in order to get the most dense clouds through glass, you need to have a slower than maximum drag, but it can cope with a faster airspeed than my modded EQ.I noticed mine can spike if i accidentally press in that area, And it can slightly shock.
I also noticed i'm a huge flavor chasing power hitter. I have yet to see anyone say they had to slow there draw speed with this one, Well i sure as hell did to get my abv like my E-nano. I can hit this thing on 5 no silicone or anything and get nice tasting evenly vaporized material. I keep mine around 3.9-4 the first couple draws now and slowed my draw down. I can get much bigger draws on this than any log and i'm very log experienced. I own all three currently made in the U.s my nano is nearly three years now.
The people complaining of heat must be using it wrong because i'm fine with it unless my draw goes over 30 seconds. The Air can be rather harsh to me, And i'm just flat out sensitive to some units and have to add extra screens. The Hopper seems to keep it in place better, And when ground too fine i can stick the particulate to the roof of my mouth to avoid the massive irritation i get from inhalation of it.
I can't wait to get my second hopper so I can double them up. I have all the tools ready to go.I am pretty sure I stated after first getting my GH, that in order to get the most dense clouds through glass, you need to have a slower than maximum drag, but it can cope with a faster airspeed than my modded EQ.
However I've found using two hoppers is an amazing way to get the most out of a chamber. Having both plugged into a bong means there's less toll on each device and you can rip as fast as possible and get constant hyper cloud density. I feel like the combo would be more seriously like a portable EVO.
It got me thinking, I would love a cabled device with multiple separate chambers, maybe smaller than the hoppers, and a selective heater control.
A more powerful device with the Hoppers heater technology is going to be a must have item I think. But seriously, apart from the coordination required I feel pretty well off as is.

I have written it often here, I would like a GH with 18650 batteries. It speaks nothing against it, if the Hopper gets a big brother :-)
I would definitely buy one immediately.
That's a great analogy! And I agree.I kind of see it more like my personal "eppy pen" for the allergies of life.
I agree, but, it also makes it stupidly easy to get catatonicThat's a great analogy! And I agree.
For a medical user the Grasshopper is really a top notch portable. It's so quick and consistent that it makes it much easier to microdose and reach the proper level of medication right away and then go about your business.
I did a walrus hit last night, one hopper with Afghan Kush, the other with some Current Kush and kief. It was like eating snowI can't wait to get my second hopper so I can double them up. I have all the tools ready to go.
So sorry to hear of your troubles!My second hopper also shat the bed within 24 hours of usage.
The first one: after a day using it, it started to change its lights from red to blue in 2 seconds and was producing no heat. It started working again somehow but it died definitely after a few days. They sent me a new body.
The current one: after some hours using the newly received body, got static red light and no heat. It alternates sometimes with a static purple light.
Waiting on my second warranty body.

Purple light? Is this a new 'hopper thing'?
So it seems that my reputation survives. Whew!Okay, I've made the pilgrimage to CVS and procured the precision tip tweezers a la @Mr. Me2 and the Hopper Fixes Resource.
Torque has been applied to chronic loose mouthpiece screen. The tweezers do seem to work great for this purpose.
Rigorous testing follows.
I may have another one to add for the resources, but it's so straightforward it may not be needed.I was out and about recently and my back end was getting warm again. I did the twisting temp dial fix and the next hit it was cool again. I need to get one of those gold pens soon.
I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to the Fixes resource. The content is where the value lies, I'm merely collecting it in one place. Let's keep sharing tips. They may not work for everybody but as long as we can get the occasional person hopping again without a warranty request it's all worth it.
And the fewer warranty requests there are, the quicker everyone gets their Grasshoppers. Win-win!
