I think the electric blue is my favorite. Also now that they are shipping again, I can say i've been using the new components for about 3 weeks now (I live down the street from hopper labs and in addition to being a fan boy, also occasionally get to be a guinea pig ... yeah I said "get" the version I have is an almost there version although so far its worked flawlessly) and I think folks are going to like it ... well some may get a little green about and it may make others blue but on balance its gonna put a smile on everyone's face ...

I got this email...dated today. (So did @MoltenTiger, he posted earlier) The code is now activated (apparently for 'exisiting customers'). Imma roll the dice on a new SS case! I know, glutton for punishment, but it's such a sweet deal! :

Hopper Labs Update 2 - 2018
The last few months have proved difficult, but we are now building a better product in every way possible. The Grasshopper has continually evolved into a better version of itself, and we know our latest revisions are going to impress.
- We have completed the service department overhaul and are now shipping warranty units out.
- Internal components have been redesigned to add additional performance and reliability to all Grasshoppers.
- All new units ordered will see all the benefits of these updates, even units ordered but not yet delivered.
- Shipping has started!
As thanks for your continued support, any existing customer can use Code "HopperUpgrades" and get 35% off their order. That is sitewide through the end of the weekend. Thanks!
The Grasshopper is simply the best vaporizer, and it only continues to improve. We will never stop and never tire until perfection is achieved,
Contact us anytime for order updates, service updates or estimated shipping times.

Thanks, guys! I just ordered 2, one for a buddy, the other for safekeeping. With a discount like that, it's hard to resist!

Can you go a little more in depth about the changes you've noticed? How's the heat? How many bowls are you getting on a fresh battery? Does it still extract as quickly and completely as before?

It’s déjà vu all over again.
It wasn’t that long ago, October, that I received my repaired SS model with the “new” internals. I liked the improved airflow and updated temp settings, and I’m curious to see what the feedback will be on the newest models and how they perform. Of course, the real issue is reliability, or how long the new Grasshoppers will maintain their performance.

There were new internals in October? I was only told of a 'updated service testing'

Apparently you can't use the discount code on the external charger. Too bad.

With the caveat that my general way of using the grasshopper is temp stepping and getting anywhere from 5-10 draws per bowl depending on the strain or how easy it is to reload where I happen to be at the time (its more the dumping out the abv somewhere when out and about than reloading it since I have one of those awesome ebay feeders, but for example, its not exactly that cool to tap out some abv in the gallery of the state capitol ...) so thats how I use and results may vary, i'd say in answer to your question:
I don't know if the temps are a little higher but I get good vapor a 2 and big clouds anything 3 or above and I think the extraction is slightly faster in terms of I definitely strip the terps faster than before. Overall its a noticeably more satisfying vaporizing experience. I definitely notice when I use my other grasshoppers with older internals, the new one just billows the clouds way easier somehow.
Also in my riddle there's a bit of a surprise but I won't spoil it

dude...please spoil it

Some new light colors from out those holes perhaps, like green means "go"?
OK, I have a guess for the surprise, based on your riddle.
I reckon they switched the LED colors, so that green is in the mix. Maybe now blue is the heatup color, and green is ready. Something along those lines.
It's fun having someone with extra knowledge who provides riddles. They should replace all press releases with cryptic pronouncements (and no, I don't just mean vague handwaving about when things will be ready
)Edit: Ah, @vapviking, you beat me to it!

I realize now that I never answered the battery part of the question. Between 2and 3 bowls per battery

Would be curious too. Mine was repaired in November.

That "spoiler" button thingy there.... how you do that!? Neato!
Actually, if the idea is adding a color or two for the sake of ID'ing function, then that's great!
Yep, and VAS just kind of hits you in an instant. As soon as I heard about the discount, I started twitching.
@slcbdco , thanks for the virtual tour!
It's always struck me that Temp 1 and 2 (for me) were pretty much "why bother" settings. With this new performance you've described, perhaps even T1 will have some worth.
And, while those points all sound great, and I know that performance assessment is somewhat subjective (herb quality, etc), I really just want one thing from this version: Consistency.
I'm really hoping they've nailed it this time.

The “new” internals I spoke of receiving in October consists of the white temp sensor instead of the blue one, with updated temp settings and improved airflow over the first version with the blue temp sensor. If you shine a light inside the empty Grasshopper chamber you should be able to tell which version you have.
I think the white temp sensor models started to arrive in July or August 2017.

Cant wait for my hopper to give up the ghost so I can get the new upgraded unit 
mine been really funky lately but then again I been on a forced break for last weeks while waiting for new buds and so not used it much at all so it probably got a lot in it still
cant believe that in 3 weeks it is the first day of summer and its about meter / 3,5 feets of snow outside and the hopper batteries HATES the cold weather but I been using one of these for my ... "nordic skii walks/cross country skiing" and works pretty good when I go for longer trips
first time I took my hopper out I had it in a front pocket of my jacket and all the batteries drained :/
wish I had found a smaller picture =)

If you had it fixed in Oktober then you dont have the new design changes that are being implemented right now at hobber labs.
For pictures from last design changes you could find pictures of white heaters further back in the thread.
It is neat, I agree
I actually just guessed, and used this which worked like a charm:

Interesting idea. What other function would you want to have identified, other than "heating" and "heated"?
Hjalmark said:
At least it isn't something like a dynavap, I can't imagine getting that up to temperature in seriously cold temperatures. I mean, I'm sure it'd get there eventually, but I always imagined electric vaporizers would be better for that. Does the hopper take a lot longer to heat up, is that what you mean by the batteries hate the cold weather? I love nordic skiing - I've only done it a couple of times, but it was such a great way to be out in beautiful landscapes! Coupled with cannabis must be even more magical. Next time I visit Scandanavia I'm staying with Hjalmark

Hehe yeah Lithium batteries seam not to like the cold and hopper being all metal has a problem heating up when its minus outside ... Celsius minus that is
but as long as you keep it close to your body it works fine, not many vaporizers that are small enough also to be kept near body without discomfort
next level would be of course to keep the hopper in your anus
LETS SEE A MIGHTY USER DO THAT ?!?! HA ?
