The backend also contains the heat dial, which is (correct me if I'm wrong) a potentiometer for voltage... Meaning a lot of current IS handled by the backed.
My unit is working well, and my backend DOES get warm when used on 3... Warmer on 4 & 5. Never "too hot to touch."
And side note: I found video footage from 2014 inside HL!

Could be...you have had your's for 5 months...
The original question that everyone is answering was regarding battery contact.
See? There is no spring connecting the backend to the battery. If your grasshopper has a spring underneath the backend, similar to what you'd see in, say, your TV's remote, please post that picture. Mine most definitely does not.

My GH has been running well for a few months now. The backend (this one is number 4), several months old is running waaayyy too hot... They had sent me a replacement, but it didn't work (problems with the threading). I returned, and have been waiting a month for the new replacement (that'd be number 6).
That said, even with the heating back end, it is used all day long, daily. I'm just careful holding it. It is without a doubt the best thing I could possibly have to replace the "one hitter" I was combusting with. I also haven't used the charger cable (except when in the car). Not sure if that has any bearing, but I do notice it's gets warm when charging from their cable.
As for spring loaded, the brass part of the clicker that makes contact with the battery would appear to have a spring under it. When I press on it, it depresses into the clicker end, and comes back when I release the pressure.

Mine most definitely has a spring behind the contact. It is totally obvious when you push hard on it.
I'm not going to bother with a picture because it is inside of the backend where you can't see it.
And I'm not going to make a video, cause why the fuck would I?
(Edit- just like the post before me is talking about. And to be clear, it's not part of the clicker mechanism, it is the batter contact itself)

When did you get yours? I push on mine and...nope...nothing.

You need to push harder

Not to derail the thread but I couldn't let this go.....
The Herbalizer has a whip option as well. Carry on.....

Maybe closer to 8. .15 is the max my GH can fit, and it doesn't have good airflow so the middle is darker, etc. I go between 2 or 4 Arizer Air stock stem loads in the GH, and get at least 3 good hits on each temp. If I hit if for like 30 seconds or more in one hit then that wont be the case, but usually I'm not doing that

@Ratchett If you do make a Crafty CU/GH adaptor, would you consider making it so that it orients the CU more vertically... So that the CU and GH are parallel rather than perpendicular? I think that'd be more comfortable.
It's a shame Hopper Labs can't come up with a similar CU design and incorporate it directly into their mouthpiece. It really does work well.

This. Like an elbow adapter. That would rock for catching some reclaim before it gets into the CU too!
Great idea!!

I share this sentiment. Got a Mighty just to scratch an itch while I wait for GH and fell completely in love with it. Still excited to receive my GH some day!

What kind of phone do you use? I tried my iPad and Lumia 950 ... Neither responded to the hopper topper.

The body of the GH has an unintended feature that it can be used to control a touchscreen, like a finger.

the silicon works excellent the with the smartphone screen!! I'm sure that you figured it out when you needed your phone with gloves on and the GH as well??
