When did you pull the trigger @Vape Dr.? I take it an unboxing followed by a full review video will commence soon after your hopper lands?
Is this all in the mouthpiece?
Can't you soak it in ISO to re-claim it?
If the Grasshopper has no wires, you would think you would be able to take the back end off, take the battery out and soak the whole unit as long as you let it dry out completely.
I say this because a lot of my concentrate devices I just throw in a bowl of ISO to get the re-claim. No batteries, mostly coils and such but I would think it would be the same.
Has anyone asked or contacted GH about this if this is an issue?
Just my guys. I am still anxiously awaiting my grasshopper!
TIA!
You can soak the mouthpiece, but nothing on the manual covers soaking the backend. I wouldn't though, also seems like I wouldn't need to. So far I haven't needed to brush the inside chamber, only the mouthpiece chamber. I have yet to reclaim any honey oil from vapes, but so far the Grasshopper is much cleaner and lower maintenance than the Flowermate V5.0s. Little needle sized worms created from Monday through Thursday. Looking inside my mouthpiece right now I can see small clumps layered. Over time I wonder if it would seep out or get to the point of clogging (it would take a really long time for that to happen). Nothing in the chamber has gotten dirty.
So you can basically toss the front into ISO to clean it but dot' expect get much reclaim...
I guess this just helps the GH to perform most efficiently with the amount of power its putting through the chamber so quickly.
Would you say clean it every 5 or 6 chambers to maximize its efficiency?
I really appreciate the info. I want to know as much as I can about the GH before I receive it.
Thank you very much @Averyminya
Liquid Gold / Texas Tea AMEN Brother.... I LOVE IT..!!! It is so pure and clean...Oh and lets not forget to mention it is quite potent as well..... and YES tasting it raw say on your lips is a bit messing and nasty to taste that way..... but put back inside your vaporizer it tastes very yummy and unique...but for sure GOOD.... I would of course recommend making a sandwich as most all of us do... to avoid melting seepage from making its way backwards towards the heater..... I personally make tiny little hot dogs that I also roll in fresh flower... then I load a base of herb then the hot dog that is now got a bunch of fresh herb stuck all around it.....That honey oil is gold, you'd be foolish to waste it.

In my experience there is never really enough reclaim to bother keeping it for a dab later. I clean the tip with a paper clip whenever I remember to do it which is definitely not everyday and its always just a tiny amount. The better reason to clean it is because the reclaim is like a pocket lint magnet. In fact usually what happens is I noticed its clogged, see a big piece of lint, pull it out with a paper clip and its comes out right along with the reclaim it was attached to.
As for deep cleaning (dropping the tip in iso and swabbing the chamber with iso) again I do it almost never. I would say maybe once a week and its really not "necessary" at the time. More likely I was cleaning things anyway so I clean it.
Forget low maintenance, this vape borders on no maintenance!
The oil I'm referring to collects on the outside of the mouthpiece, between the silicone condom and the metal. If I let it go a day or two there is quite a buildup, enough to hold the condom on when it's cold and make it slip around on the tip when it's hot.
There is also a small bit of buildup in the hole, but it's minor as mentioned.
@Vape Dr. you could ISO soak the mouthpiece to clean it, I prefer ethanol if I'm keeping the reclaim. ISO scares me a bit.
I don't use the session extender at all - haven't had any need for it. I feel like part of the trick is clicking off the vape and draining all heat from the oven before finishing your draw (very noticeable with this vape).Noticed that in videos, oil on the inside of the session extender. I guess bc the silicone leaves a gap between it and the mouthpiece? Would've thought it would fit snug, but I guess it makes it so you need to clean your mouthpiece sooner, and you need to clean it as well.
Simple soak though

I'm fine with any particles that make it past my screen (i'm not finely grinding), but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make some sort of basket screen to fit inside the oven side...My session extender is quickly filled with abv particles, this device needs a real screen so bad. Every session I have to deal with particles on my tongue.
How long are your hits @Ratchett
I edited my post but how many hits do you take within 3 minutes my concern is that you claim the extender unneeded. I take a 6 to 10 second drag and click off my Hopper followed by 10 more seconds of inhaling. Hold for 2 to 5 seconds and take another hit. That is native and with herb.I'm fine with any particles that make it past my screen (i'm not finely grinding), but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make some sort of basket screen to fit inside the oven side...
My hits are on the shorter side, though I do get some decent clouds. I think I need to pull a bit harder, the ABV near the mouthpiece seems a bit unvaped
Just a couple hours ago I got back from seeing the Martian with 4 of my friends...I'd say the hardest part to be stealthy is the loudish click and that can be solved by a loud scene.
I'd like to hear from other Grasshopper owners to see if this works on all units. In my opinion it sounds like a great feature, and not just for stealth. It would make it much easier to turn it off mid hit if using that technique to keep the mouthpiece cool.What do you think about the "accustic-stealh-mode" of the GH? If I push the button of my GH just to right before it clicks, it heats up and you can vape. Release the finger and it stops. Is it a bug or a feature? Is it ok for regular use?
The unit would like to be fully pressed. The lights still come on but sometimes the unit may go flashing red it you don't fully click it.I'd like to hear from other Grasshopper owners to see if this works on all units.

If it works well I could see myself making that my primary mode of operation.
True, I'd say I average 2 to 3 hits per 3 minutes. I really don't take massive rips back to back off the vape. Instead I click on, puff, click off, and enjoy the company of my friends or the television until I'm ready for another puffI edited my post but how many hits do you take within 3 minutes my concern is that you claim the extender unneeded.

I've got three units it's the case, I suggest a screen or cotton if its that bad but honestly it's not, otherwise just end off with an unground nug.I really hope this isn't the case with mine when I get it because I am really sensitive about getting particles in my mouth. Makes me gag every time.
Usually I am too, but I haven't had a problem with the hopper so farI really hope this isn't the case with mine when I get it because I am really sensitive about getting particles in my mouth. Makes me gag every time.
