    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    Yeah! i can certainly appreciate that it's overkill for many. The attraction is commensurate to the desire to have ALL of the assorted junk that it is designed to hold. For me it hits the spot perfectly. The point of the post is more to highlight the advantages of personalising your case (if...

    Or for the price of a stainless Grasshopper you could have something like this made. Holds 30 grams of tobacco (or what have you) comfortably along with a grasshopper, a couple of spare batteries, a dozen business cards, half a dozen credit cards, drivers license, half a dozen...

    The D4 has a digital readout for each battery rather than the 3 LED's used for each battery on the i4 (to indicate charging progress)

    Nitecore Intellicharger I4 (=>2014) or D4. Always insert a minimum of two batteries to take it easier on and enhance the life of smaller capacity batteries. (can be different sizes). If you only want to do two at a time the I2 or D2 would also work ok.

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    This was just posted on reddit (purportedly a response from Caroline at HL in response to a refund inquiry) It addresses questions that have been recently raised regarding the wisdom of their big parts purchase (which they are still awaiting delivery of). Hi There, I understand your...

    My best guestimate based on supply progress to date and modestly optimistic expectations.

    I doubt the average car lighter plug has the GHL recommended safety rating (whatever that is) or the required circuit protection to prevent overcharging of the Li batteries. I wouldn't recommend it as you might end up killing batteries prematurely without the required circuitry protection...

    Nevertheless they aren't good quality (got shrunk on the server) Try these (Edit) Just saw that you did your own. Very nice.

    Some people were talking about translating the user manual to different languages for import clearance requirements or somesuch. Anyhoo! I have uploaded a couple of blanked pages of the user manual in jpeg for people to over-type using paintNet or photoshop or even MS Paint.

    Having seen a number of reports about hot &/or faulty back ends, I can't recall whether the problem was only being reported on SS units or whether it affected Ti units as well. Anyone recall a report of the problem with a Ti unit?

    I recall someone saying it was a tad over 8mm. What about buying some 7 or 8mm empty gelatine pill capsules (or empty some full ones) and loading your herb into 1 or 20 of them. Just pull them apart and pour/tap the herb into the oven. Loading them might take as much as 10 seconds each, but...

    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end. The theory is unquestionably well intended. The reality is that the end result is often like bloated software that erodes or extinguishes the benefit &/or...

    The choice of words is fine. Perhaps the meaning that the reader assigns to the words is the problem. I have no control over that. Normal/average are much the same in the context used. Had I used the word average instead, it is likely that a lot of 'normal' people would have been offended...
