Old & In the Way
If HL says it's okay to tap the Hopper on wood, who am I to think it will cause problems? I'll thump away if needed. Might even be what's making my straight to blue straighten out! Thanks for quoting that blog post.
I think the idea is clear that only minimal amounts of iso be used in chamber, with extra caution, so to me it doesn't seem contradictory, just a qualifier, a reminder to not get things below the screen wet.
Sorry you are sans hopper atm, but try to re-connect with your old vapes! maybe some surprises!
That's some hefty postage! I feel for ya; it's been one of the easier parts, for me. see below.
Counter-intuitve, crazy , or genius, I am so happy to be a guy who only paid $135 USD for a SS and $150 for a Ti. I bought an additional pair of SS that I gave to daughters. My 10 returns have cost me less than $40 in postage and mailers over 7 full months' of multiple use daily. To be fair, wife and I are using these, so I am extra glad and certain 2 is our minimum. I've been so tempted to order another when we've anticipated price increases, but we have enough other vapes in rotation and reserve now.
Must resist...
So this is my perspective and bias, and I clearly can see that others have their own very good reasons to think otherwise. But one of these days HL might drop the Lifetime Warranty down to 10 or 5 or 2 years (going forward), and we early adopters will have our final 'thank you' granted from HL!
And maybe even our leather sleeves...
And my go-to tool is the wooden toothpick, as much to gently cajole material down the funnel into Hopper as to coax it out later.
My supply of toothpicks had been running low so I picked up a box at Stop & Shop. My older box has a lot of age to it (though the box boasts that it's 'packaged in recycled paperboard'. Each box says it has 750 pcs.
The new box is Stop & Shop house brand and cost $2.49 US. It says they are great for baking and made in China.
The old box was .49 cents and they are slightly heftier and definitely stronger stock. Box says;
"A Tradition of Quality
Since 1887, when Charles Forster began the first wooden toothpick factory in the United States, the Forster name has meant quality products for American homes. These thin tapered toothpicks are ideal for dental care as well as kitchen, workshop and general household use.

P.o. Box 657 Wilton, Maine
MADE IN USA"
I just googled Forster, shuttered in 2003, and the story is all very well laid out here, The Rise and Fall of the Toothpick...:

The GH has ruined vapes for me....I compare everything to it, and if it doesn't match or exceed, i'm just not satisfied. I have a Supreme 3 coming to join the hopper clan...but i'll probably have my hoppers back before it lands. I just really miss my hoppers, and so do my lungs.
That's such a slow CS. Nice to have 2 backup hoppers.
. Wish me luck that I won't get a lemon, I've been an extra good boy this year so far
on that. I cancelled my ss case order long ago.
Specifically the adapter and case.
