Discontinued The Grasshopper

If a lifetime warranty was freely transferable it would essentially be an infinite warranty that could be used hundreds of years from now. That's the point, it's supposed to be for the lifetime of the original owner, not the lifetime of the planet. Of course, if the company fails the warranty means nothing.

It may be a frustrating policy for some but Hopper Labs has been upfront about it from the beginning. If such issues are a big concern, I would suggest researching the warranty more thoroughly in the future before purchasing products.

In this day and age most warranties are non-transferable, even if they are only for a year. The Grasshopper and Hopper Labs have a lot of areas they can be justifiably critiqued on, but I really don't think their warranty is one of them.

I noticed the abv from the hopper is stickier than when I use the same material with other conduction vapes, is this common? I never used a convection vape before nor a hopper so just wondering if this is the case with all convection vapes or it's the hopper

RMA GH's are coming home via UPS this time!
Caroline told me they would ship mine UPS and I just got the notice of shipping USPS.

So obviously they mistook the two (they should really ship all these returns back better than untrackable USPS small packet international!)

So you got lucky @biohacker ... my complaint about shipping times got you priority shipping. :lol:

And I got screwed!!!

I was hoping to post about how positive my whole RMA experience was ... but now that I'll be waiting weeks in return untrackable shipping ....
 
What is the auto shut off time? My GH seems to be vary, sometimes it stay on for like 20 sec+, sometimes seems shut off very quick.

There is an auto-off function which activates around 18 seconds if you don't take a hit (it has a draw sensor). So if you take a puff within 18 seconds it will not shut off.

The hopper lab said don't vape below 32 and above 90. :(
Does it say that in the manual? That would make it useless as a portable for me 75% of the time! That's crazy restrictive ... would mean don't use from start of Oct to Apr-May where I am ... than a lot of days in Jul to Aug for the opposite reason of it being too hot out ....!!!

Edit: it's a spring and fall vaporizer only????

Well then ... not going to stop using it below 0C as that is when it is most useful to me. (Ie. to quickly heat up for a few hits outside an arena for example where I am most weekends from Sep to Apr.) Why would I need an on demand pen vape for indoor at home use??? It's primary use for me is as above or with a water tool outside a hotel also below 0.

Below 0°c and you are going to be working the heater and batteries much harder as the device has to bring the ambient temp up further. However I've seen a few people using it in obviously below freezing conditions.

Like @Vape Dr. for example ;)

A few others have posted using their hoppers while skiing.

I think as long as you keep the hopper in an inside jacket pocket so the device and batteries don't drop below 0°c then I think the only downside to drawing in air that is below 0°c will be additional drain on the battery so less pulls/bowls per charge.

In regards to the max temp of 32°c :shrug: I live in the UK so thats about 1-2 weeks for me :(

GRASSHOPPER BATTERIES
It’s getting colder, and snow has finally arrived in Colorado! Tis the season to prepare for the holidays, which a Hopper can certainly help with ;) . Since many of us intend to get outside this winter, we’re taking the time this post to discuss the Hopper’s battery performance and the effects of cold weather.

The Hopper’s battery is a custom designed lithium-ion cell. The size and shape are non-standard, which you might find annoying. We chose to go this route to maximize the size of the battery without making the device any bigger. The Hopper was designed to be small, and there wasn’t a standard size that fit our parameters.

The battery is also a custom formulated chemistry that we worked with the factory to develop. The Hopper requires a high discharge battery to feed its 45-watt heater the power it needs. Your cell phone or laptop uses power at a slower rate compared to how large the battery is, making it much easier to produce. With the Hopper, we have a small package and need all the power out quickly, which is the most challenging type of battery to create.

We often get comments that the battery life on the Hopper is not as good as on other devices, and while that might be true, this is a trade-off between performance and size. With the Hopper, you can easily swap the battery on the go. If you use your power wisely, turning the device on and off between every hit, you can vape an enormous amount of herbs on a single charge.

Back to the cold weather! The cold means two things for your Hopper:

1. The battery will be cold when you start it up.
2. The air being heated by the device starts at a much cooler temperature.

A cold battery is an unhappy battery. Battery performance, in general, is worse when the battery is cold. If it is below 40 degrees and your Hopper is giving you the low battery indication when you first start it up, then you might want to pop your battery out and warm it in your hands for a few minutes. Once your Hopper is ready to rock, know that it is working double-time to warm up the icy cold air entering your device. Heating up cold air takes more energy and will result in shorter battery life.

In extremely frigid temps, your Hopper might display red and blue flashing lights. Warm it up in your pocket for a few minutes, and you’ll be ready to go.

The Hopper is built to withstand the winter weather, and we recommend enjoying it responsibly while you're out and about this winter season!
