I'm bored so I'm just going to say the colored Ti GH's in this picture look like crayola crayons...that's all.

There is a measurable amount of conduction in Buzz's no-hit ABV pic. I guess it is to be expected in such a small device and the max temp is the extreme. I was hoping it wouldn't cook the weed before I want it to.

I'd call that very minimal conduction since only the very end turned color. From the looks of it, there is virtually no conduction along the sides of the chamber. Looking at the light brown color on the end, the conduction is probably only occurring through the air gap between the heating element and the herb. Air is generally a poor conductor which is why there is so little brown color. I'd think pretty much any vape would do the same thing under similar conditions (like with a Volcano that's fully loaded without the fan on).

To me this is an impressive result that indicates good design...I can't see how a vape of this size could do better. I would conclude that for all intents and purposes, when used as recommended, the GH is a pure (99%) convection vape.

Cool experiment, @BuzzDanklin.

All depends on where they are in the process. Did they start filing the paperwork several months ago, or are they just getting started?

Legal stuff?

Based on this info

Here is his reply:

"We are working on a number of things before shipping. Large scale testing, final tweaks, product labels, legal compliance, and of course assembly. We have lots of help to assemble Hoppers and are working on setting up the full time crew. As I am sure you can imagine getting people trained up also takes a large amount of time. We cannot accept any poor quality work and right now everything needs to be checked by Matt or myself. Hang in there, just because we are very close doesn't mean we should cut any corners now.

I am not perfectly confident of delivery in that time. You are in the 2nd half of the backer orders so we have quite a few to ship before we get to yours. We have to see how fast we can get assembly moving and how well the supply chain can keep up."

So it seems they've still got a ways to go.

@BuzzDanklin i know this is Fuck Combustion, but do you have rolling papers? Could you make a little joint that would fit in the grasshopper chamber, and vape it to see if the rolling paper would allow the spiraling heat through or would it block the flow of air, thus prevent vaping?
I'm trying to come up with a quicker, simpler way to load the grasshopper and hope something like this would work.

I am currently building a time machine so i can go back in time to get in on the $99 grasshopper indiegogo campaign. If any one would like to donate to help my cause i will be holding a indiegogo campaign for the funding of the time machine shortly. In all honesty i wish i would have got in on the campaign when it started but i did not want to take the chance as i have never done something like that before. Once i see a few in peoples hands though i will pre-order. I am moving soon also so i will have a new address, if i was to pre-order can i change my address without losing my place in line ?

When you are done with the time machine I'd like to borrow it so I can go into the future and use my grasshopper. I'll pick up a few extra while I'm there if anyone wants one.
Could totally go pick up a handfull of them, head back a few months and sell them for a bit more than the future price for the instant gratification... $$$$$$$$$$$$:brow:

Is this machine a one way trip, or can it bring you back?

Also, what color will it be?

Make sure not to make it red.

I just got back from the future and saw the next two GH updates:

June 1:
"Hi Everyone. Things were getting into high gear and we were just about to start shipping the bulk of SS grasshoppers, but unfortunately, many of you have upgraded your orders to colored Ti units. We didn't expect the demand to shift so suddenly and are left without enough of the color parts to fulfill all orders right away. Rest assured, we've adjusted our Ti parts orders and expect to hear back from our suppliers soon. The additional delay should be minimal. Stay tuned...."

two weeks later,

"Hi everyone. Great news, our Ti supplier has located enough raw material to cover all of the upgraded orders. The only small glitch is that the colorization process is short on the material needed for the green grasshoppers which were the most in demand. We've been assured that capacity will increase in just a short amount of time, but we'll be sending emails to everyone who ordered green to see if they'd like to switch to another color. Stay tuned!"

:evil::evil::evil:

You addressed delay bc of upgrades to TI units but mentions nothing about why the SS ones didnt get sent. (very possible it was intentional as GH could do such a thing O.o but doubtful)

and you assume green is most in demand when I have seen just as many people swapping their green for something else...

my 2 qualms
