Discontinued The Grasshopper

Ugh! This unit died on me. Won't turn on, won't charge. Completely dead. What makes it worse is I've heard nothing back from the grasshopper team. Im telling you I will never support another crowdfunded product again. It's just not worth it. As of today I cannot recommend this product to anyone until they response and replace ANOTHER defective unit! When it worked it was glorious. But I can't stand behind a capricious, unreliable device. I can't now in good conscience recommend it especially because they have not acknowledged my need for support. 2 emails without a response? Totally unacceptable.

C'mon man think about what you're saying. I'm a paid customer. You're not. A paid customer should be prioritized, don't you think? Also my first email was about a week ago. It's very bad business to not respond immediately.

External charger is how I charge mine. Got a tenergy dual charger. Works great. So much easier as well. HIGHly recommended :):tup::rofl:

Thx. That wouldn't be feasible at this point for me to go buy an external charger to find out if the unit is defective or not. Just more money and time wasted for something they'll need to replace. Any other tricks others have learned to reset, etc?

My only concern of using an external charger is the repeated screwing and unscrewing of the backend. Especially since that has been the location of many production issues. I'll add that I express this concern only based on postings here; I don't have my gh yet.

True, but if you are going to be using a second battery just like almost everyone recommends, you will be unscrewing anyway.

I did order a second battery, but I'm hoping the gh charger works fine. So far, I've found only the firefly REALLY needed the external charger because the battery life was so short. Otherwise, I don't have a problem recharging after sessions.

WHEN I get my gh (all optimism here), I'm hoping not to need to swap out batteries too often

same. i also don't like swapping batteries. that is why i bought new Arizer Solo instead of an Air few months ago. fully charged Solo can bring me trough a day with no problem. i see nothing portable when carrying full pockets of batteries with me, like i did when using MFLB. not convenient at all.

hoping that GH can vape-out trough a day with only two batteries.

Hey man, I had the solo and now the air.
A battery in the air can last all day, it's just nice to know you can switch the battery of need be...Instead of having to have your vape serviced for every issue like the ::cough:: crafty.

Also if you do have an extended period of time away from chargers, I'd rather have options than none is what the real point is

Battery life in the pax 2 is pretty great. I don't miss not having swappable batteries in that one.

I don't miss it, but I wouldn't reject a model with swappable batteries is all.

I have had a point in life where EVERY vape I have owned has died at some point when I want to use it...having the ability to swap out batteries in nothing but a plus.

I have an ecig for hash oil, that takes the same battery as the air. And those are the same batteries that the Haze takes (which I don't have) the point is standardized swappable batteries are the shit.

I agree about preferring swappable batteries and dying vapes. I tend to rotate vapes, so when one is in use, the other can be charging which tends to solve the dying vape problem. But that wouldn't work for on-the-go...

I feel like a lot of people having trouble with GH customer support are just bad at emailing... I've emailed support@grasshoppervape.com about 3 times times now and had an email back within a few hours.

A concise email with a single question in the body and a subject line beginning with, [RESPONSE REQUIRED], always gets me a response.

I'll have to try that. I'm trying to change my order and give them more money. And still no reply to my emails (one sent to the email address you listed). Go figure...
