Update is encouraging, in terms of Grasshoppers coming sometime, but it seems likely that the best case of all expected deliveries happening on the 22nd means they can start testing machined parts, while still waiting on ? If the heater supply problem was overcome they'd of mentioned it, right? In the meantime, I just ordered a Flowermate V5.0s Mini from ebay. I get a lot out of my MFLB (only vape, and enuf to ruin combusting for me), but I want a break from the fine grinding/battery swapping/skillful drawing. And best part, it came w/ a ship date!

No shipping date. They are improving, at least they didn't lie. But will the GH ship this month ? Bet they won't.

well they said earlier that they plan on shipping as there built so a decent amount should get shipped before May

I thought that was addressed in the last update when they said "By our departure on Friday afternoon, the [heater] manufacturer was assuring us that heaters would begin shipping in within the month.".

Yeah, but maybe their supplier was having trouble delivering finished Ti bodies to spec?

See @grokit post update above.

No mention of resolving the heating element problem. Vague wording about "solidifying dates" basically we have lots of pretty metal tubes with nothing to put in them is what I'm getting out of this update but maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age. :myday:

They said they fixed their heater problem last update.

Also from this update, it seems like they might post a few more things before the 1st?

"All machined parts for the first production run". To me, that sounds like it means they will be able to start building completed units.
But I'm not a pessimist....

Delta3DStudios · Apr 16, 2015

Very encouraging (if not short) update! I'm rooting for GH, it sounds like they've got practice assembling some GH's with the small quantities they already have in stock, and getting ready to start mass producing.

I'm betting at least 1 FC member will get a tracking number before April 30'th

Although I have questions about "This delivery will encompass all machined parts for the first production run"

Who's included in the first production run? All orders to date or only IGG backers?

I emailed Trevor asking which production run I would be in (I ordered mine in January and have an April shipping date) and he told me I was in the second group. The first group will probably just be the IGG backers.

Thanks for checking! Damn that sucks, I have a May shipping date. Oh well, hopefully I have mine soon enough!

To me there's a big gap between parts ready for construction, and ready for shipping. I call that gap, "beta".

Shrike · Apr 16, 2015

...I think their version of "beta"=IGG Backers... :cool:

hi_there · Apr 16, 2015

My date is still May 2015, I will be OK with getting it in June latest. Like everyone else I will be glad to see any shipped out.

I want my beta unit.....I don't mind it being a beta at all. :razz:

I'm not a backer or pre-order.... but was still hoping i could utilize this beast on the beach this summer. I'll probably just use the mlfb till next summer when im out of school and hopefully start making money to spend!!!

By then the decision will be whether or not to back the GH2 IGG. I hear it's shipping next April. :evil:

If you want it this summer I would consider pre-ordering it now

Someone on Reddit said they were told by Trevor that their pre-order placed on March 14th would ship second half of May. I hope that means my February 18th order is first half of May.

Nice to know, I have the same exact order date!
