I'd love to see (2) camera angles of that "inhale" and "exhale". It did seem funny to me that you can't even see the 'Hopper is actually in his mouth, nor can you see that he is actually exhaling. It reminds me of the old TV/Movie trick when someone gets mad and steam comes out of their ears...

Note::: I am an original backer and still look forward to playing with my Ti version...just mentioning what it looked like to me...it's all probably good...just looked weird to me from that angle with no actual verification that it was actually in his mouth. :shrug:

Can you think of any logical reason why they'd post a fake video, especially at this point?
If they have to cheat to make it appear like it actually works, they could just not post a video at all...

My main point was always my concern with vapor production. All in all it looks like a great unit, heat up time made me open my eyes a bit, but it doesn't make you wonder with the immediate exhale? That was my only real concern. I hope we're on the same page.

Side note: the battery size...I know they're all Stanford grads and whatnot, but I'm questioning how many extra batteries I'll have to keep in my pocket to use this effectively as a stealth unit.

once again just some personal questions I had for myself that I decided to voice, seeing as I have a block of 6 hours a Day to do nothing.

I'm impressed by the heat up time.. reminds me of the herbalizer

No reason at all I can think of...again, it was only my observation of how weird the camera angle looked to me. Easily dispelled by them with eventual new videos that show multiple angles when inhaling and exhaling...

not saying it's fake at all, just a bit weaker than what I would've expected from the video they posted a year ago.

I counted 13 seconds between the time he placed it to his lips and the time he exhaled. If it is hitting well right from the start, how long seems "normal" in your opinion?

I was really expecting this thing to get shipped out in January but I guess its more delays with the charger and other stuff. I guess its better than sending out bad chargers but damn man it seems like every little thing you wouldnt expect them to struggle with some how becomes an issue.

I agree with this sentiment. Not to mention in the video they are using a perfect lighting set up to see the vapor. It looked like solid density(lighting helps that) just not much over all vapor considering how long he inhaled to me. Just my opinion.

Heat up time is very fast though. Pretty much puts it in the range of vapes like the MFLB and flash vape imo.

I'm glad the GH team is into the details. No doubt that once the GH gets out into the wild there will be issues and hopefully, solutions.

We have waited for over a year, a few more weeks before the first units ship is no big deal. In the meanwhile, my Elevape is doing a fine job of keeping me happy

Let's also consider that the camera angle from his left rear helps to conceal facial features that could otherwise unduly identify him in a not-so-friendly MJ state. As to the cloudage which, though not massive, seemed to me to be more than adequate to provide the effect I'd be looking for in stealth situations. A longer session could probably be had with a good fill, and at a higher temp for even more impressive vapor (strain & cure is important). As to ease of filling the chamber ...IME no need for a filling tool (let's keep the stealth & portability features intact) - simply scoop the chamber through the stash to your heart's content. I'm starting to like what I'm seeing - fingers crossed!

I'm a perfectionist by ocd... hell I spend half an hour in the bathroom making sure I took a crap the right way, So for stuff that's actually
important, I tend to want everything 95% "Perfect" or better.

It wouldnt be the 1st time my memories are wrong, but I thought they moved to Colorado?

I too think they could have showed the test vaper lips on the grasshopper, front or side angle, giving us a hint he actually pull the cloud in his lungs before exhaling @Danvapereviews. Because thats a small "mouth cloud" we see in the vid, but a very descent "lung cloud".

Ok, I'm actually gonna chime in here and say that the latest video actually does excite me! Those clouds from direct draw with no glass look just the same as the clouds I get from my Mighty/Crafty.

If this device can match the Mighty/Crafty in terms of taste and clouds, whilst being as easy to use or easier; then I'm off the S & B wagon. It is that simple. Replacement batteries, extra stealth, smaller, faster heatup time. Similar sized load from the look of it in the bowl too!

But I like it!
This thing seems to pack a lot of capabilities into a great stealth factor. The only issue might be the cloud production - nothing looks less stealthy than somebody puffing clouds from a pen. Maybe exhale into your jacket sleeve or something? That should look natural, coming out around your hand :)

Anyways, this is exciting watching it get closer, and the vid reviews are simply good to see. I wonder how long that battery will last? I saw some guesstimates, but looking forward to real examples. Probably the only thing I'm jiggy with is the proprietary charger. The great thing about USB chargers is that they are everywhere!

I gotta disagree with Grasshopper vape cloud in this video to a crafty/mighty vape cloud in a video from The vape critic on YouTube. Yes I've use a crafty many times, own a Pax /Solo/Extreme Q for years. Not even in the same league.
Hope I'm wrong. Everything else stated is the main reason I want a grasshopper
