They actually still owe backers pledge gifts; T-shirts, cases and stickers specificallyT-Shirts and stuff huh? How bout we get the actual GH out before adding to your plate GHL!
Jan '16 order now estimated for July. I won't hold my breath.
That is normal, 18650s do the same. It also cuts off at 3.7v when GH shows it dead, which is actually a great level for storage since 18650s can go lower (but they also like a 3.7v ish cut off as well, really 3.5 min)
I wish the cutoff was a little lower at 3.6v These batteries drop down quickly from 4.2v and level off the longest at 3.7v. Might have gotten an extra bowl if they did this and it wouldn't harm the battery.
@ElectropoK :
My backend does not get hot at all. When my batteries and Grasshopper were new they were almost always below 3.7 when I would charge them. Once I saw a battery as low as 3.53.
Now my batteries are almost always at 3.7 exactly when I charge them. Last night I thought I saw the dead battery light right after taking a hit and before shutting off. I turned it on again and it heated up to blue for a second or two before flashing red again. When I went to charge the battery it was 3.66.
I'm still getting 12-15 hits per battery which is 2-3 loads for me. This is mostly at temp 4, sometimes I bump it up to 5 to finish the load.
Is everyone getting there free promised extra battery with there hoppers ? I was told I would , I have a extra ordered and I believe it comes with 1 so I am hopping when my order ships I actually get 3. Figured I'd ask in preparation as I am a June preorder so I am hoping to receive mine this month.
when my battery is going low ... and before the flashing red lights my blue lights begin to flicker... indicating low battery ...I'm having the exact same experience. Of the three parts of my GH, the back end is the one that does NOT get at all hot. I also am getting pretty much 3 full loads out of a battery and also seems to instantly go from blue to fast flashing red when I take a hit and the battery is low (what I'm trying to say is there ain't no warning when the battery goes but I'm OK with it as I have....wait for it...spare batteries! YEAH! LOL).
I also vape primarily just a hair over 4 but no longer push to 5...just not finding it necessary in order to get well extracted dark brown AVB.
I'm still loving it, love it via a water tool, and just keep making sacrifices to the gods that it keeps working this way.
Cheers

I got mine did the same as you and received 3.
Side note for those who ordered multiple Ghs -- I believe it is per order and not per hopper ordered, but I can't remember from when this was previously discussed.
Well dang, Rachett - I just got my last order and here you are coming up with more stuff that I want. I actually really like the battery sleeves as I have the same issue in trying to center the batteries in external charger. I also just got your scoop and poke but love the four way tool and will get one for the home. Oh well, its only more shipping charges LOLThree weeks strong with my Grasshopper, it's still working despite a hot backend. I get the rips I want when out and about, and then I like to finish the load at max temp in some glass. Sometimes I swear it's combusting, but it never does.
Agreed, I usually swap batteries when the blue lights begin flickering frequently during the hit (which happens pretty fast, but whatever, I've got 4 batteries)
In other news, I've just published a few Grasshopper accessories to my store. By special request - a mini loading funnel, 2-in-1 doob tube & GH funnel, and pyramid loading stand
Additionally, I finally finished my new External Charging Sleeve
I designed these sleeves to help me easily install the batteries on the D2 Charger. I'm sure it doesn't matter, but I always found myself wasting time trying to center those small batteries on the charging posts. (Just be careful when unloading a battery - the spring-loaded negative post tends to shoot the battery out of the charger )
Damn, my store's Grasshopper category is already filling up, and I've still got a few more in the pipeline
Can you provide a comparison of the dimensions of the regular and mini GH funnels?
Thanks...let me look at it a bit but yeah....height is the issue and if we could cut that down that may work. Let me look later and see what max height I could use and then see if that is doable.Original Funnel: 39mm diameter by 35mm tall (1.53" dia x 1.37" tall)
Mini Funnel: 34mm diameter by 23mm tall (1.34" dia x 0.9" tall)
Let me know if you need smaller, I can always make a shorter one if necessary
Well, I'm not going to try to talk you out of it...I sure have mixed feelings; I love my GH but am not very enamored with Hopper Labs and their delivery and manf quality.My wife has a hot backend and its never been a problem for me.
That being said, I'm a little concerned that this GH I'm buying primarily because it looks like fun is going to be more trouble than its worth. I'm not sure I need it for its primary use case (super stealth.) I'm thinking just to wait for my omnivap and then consider something like a cloud evo or zion, if I still want some massive direct-draw convection clouds and for adapting with glass.
Either way, I e-mailed over a week ago about canceling/refunding and haven't heard back. Is there a process I'm missing? Maybe I should just send the request through PayPal?

I did just want to point out that stealth isn't important to me either. My primary use case is for a quick couple of hits without muss, fuss, or waiting for heat up. In that light, does the GH still appeal to you?
That sounds stealthy.for a quick couple of hits without muss, fuss, or waiting for heat up

and after they chargers and units are functional.The shirts are pre-orders. They'll come out after the oil front ends.
