Alright guys, here's one for you.
I'll call it trailing a hit.
By trailing a hit, I mean using an insufficient power source where the GH just works only a little better than most vapes, instead of at its usual mind boggling capacity.
So the batteries are small and are really made for use with HL's included charger, which in my case is a rare thing. When the battery is at full capacity, it is most able to drive the hopper. After the first hit from the charger, the battery is physically incapable of reproducing the same energy curve output. And so theoretically every subsequent hit is an eventual reduction of performance of the power cell.
Li-ion discharges on its own, and so charging up a battery and storing it to use the next day will cause trailing a hit. The battery won't quite be able give full output (depending on it's quality/age) and the hopper will indicate flat batts quicker.
Alternatively, storing up flat batteries and charging them in time ready before use gives the hopper its full strength and the bowls will be next level thickshakes instead of basic milk.
I've been taking batteries from the hopper and placing them straight on the charger, I then store and pick them out later to use in the vape.
From now on I'm going to be swapping batteries more regularly and charging directly before use to get the maximum power curve offered more regularly.
The difference is astounding in cloud output, and I'd bet a lot of people might benefit from structuring their charge cycles better too...
I still think that the GH can exceed the most powerful desktops in very meaningful ways. The EVO can rip through .3g, and do it faster than the GH, however IMO the vapour isn't as densely thick nor as comfortable to take in.
Did you see my insta video? I ripped through 0.3 in 30 seconds with two hops. It only cost me 3 hours of function
The EVO seems to give a greater length of cloud, though it doesn't look thicc like we like it
I've never used one however, but I remember getting a solid stream of vapour the first time I used the claisen, and thinking 'evo/sublimator etc. I get it now'.
I guess I still don't. One day I'll have the pleasure of finding out.
A hopper by itself truly is finicky, but I still would recommend it as an only vape for any cannabis enthusiast.
If you max the power for the GH as above, the clouds it puts out are intense.
The batteries are a downside of course.
But so is a mains power cord.
Most of the places I go I can't vape with anything worth hitting other than a GH.
The other portable options almost entirely miss the functionality I'm chasing.

That's why it's a desktop replacement.
With a hopper you don't need a desktop, unless you want to connoisseur it up - which is a great idea, why not.
But with a desktop, you need a hopper.
There are a lot of different ways to vape and they all have go to devices, for bubblers of vapour there is no better choice than the GH. From multiple angles.
For a portable vape, unless you want a slow session, the GH is equally as good as few options.
And finally too, it's accessible
