    The ball has started to roll again!

    Interesting. Mine gets hot to the touch all over the back - clip, top, all that. But, it still works and still performs well. I'm quite impressed at how well it handles concentrate wrapped into some cotton. Plus you can pre-pack little cotton balls and be good for the day =)

    For what it's worth, I've been charging mine via the USB cable almost exclusively during the (close to a) month I've had it, with no issues.

    I'm with you there - since I got mine, I've been less prone to keep coming back to talk about it. It just works. You're really only hearing the negatives because people like to vent frustration. We're definitely treated as beta testers, and I plan to use mine daily and hard. If it breaks, it's...

    I've had this little guy for a little over 24 hours now. No issues so far! The dial moves nicely but doesn't move accidentally. I've been leaving it in the charge cable while I'm home - I did not receive the spare battery that I ordered. I'm under the assumption that they're waiting for a new...

    You may be able to chill your GH for a few minutes and see if thermal expansion may be the issue or not. I'd still send an email to GHL support to let them know and if it would be a problem to continue using that battery or not.

    Shipping confirmation! "December 15th" - I managed to back it originally on Nov 19th, but got listed as Dec 15th when they exported out if the IGG backend. Was cleared up this week with Caroline. Grey Ti, extra battery. Case still pending.

    Good news on my end! Over the last few days, while going through my email, I did the normal search for "grasshopper" to see if anything got thrown in spam/promotions/etc. I realized that I got a "thank you for contributing" on Nov 19 2013. I never thought anything of it, because I had put in...

    I'm personally a fan of the LUC v2 and v4 chargers. V4 will charge up to 2A, which I believe is within the battery spec. If not, it can also do 500ma and 1a.

    I think that our sample bias (people who ordered and are a part of an online community) is possibly a part of it. I'd wager that most people who purchased one probably don't post anything online about it, either due to not being active online or (possible) fear due to location.

    Yet another that got pushed from September to October. Really hope that I get this in before November so I can have it on my honeymoon!

    Given that the body is used as a part of the electronic signal, any grime in the threading could cause problems. The gunk on your batteries happens when arcing of the high-amperage signal from battery to connection point occurs. That's my best guess for the heat and potentially the sound you're...

    He seemed to click it on and leave it on a few times - maybe it's the result of a few cycles of the heater being ready to go and radiating it's heat to the bottom of the chamber? The other video test doing this showed it being cycled until auto turn off twice and it was looking slightly singed...

    I'd just like to remind everyone that the Grasshopper guys state NOT to blow into the mouthpiece. @baltik said he blew through the air intake area. Huge difference - no hot, humid lung-air being forced through the heater.

    It'd be cool if the IGG backer accounts get locked into pre-production pricing as a added thanks for making it all possible. Ain't holding my breath but it'd be a nice gesture!
