Thanks for taking the picture! Lol i feel like after a solid vape sesh I'd end up trying to hit the mouthpiece on the back before realizing how horribly wrong I am.

@midgetsanchez I forgot to bring up your point about the faint sound. While I was in Colorado the Grasshopper guys were joking about how they even made it sound like a Grasshopper

I've been waiting for this thing since I returned my 1st edition Ascent and heard the GH guys on some podcast talking about how they were gonna make the MFLB killer. They finally did it now that I've lost it
I wonder who will be the brave soul to risk losing a hopper by trying to disassemble it so we can finally see the NASA tech!

Yikes, doesn't taste as good as the solo?
Of all the vapes I've owned, the Solo is not exactly a standout for flavor!
I'll wait to here from other reviewers as well but this sounds like a big trade off! One of my fundamental requirements of a new vape when I got my Mighty and sold my Solo was that any flower vape must taste better than the Solo at least lol

Maybe the thing inside isn't a wire but a trapped grasshopper?

Sounds pretty nasty to me man I wouldn't eat either of those things due to taste haha
It may sound like I'm being precious wanting to retain the taste. However, too many vapes I have used in the past seem to cook off terps into the air, leaking out of air inlets/openings in the air path whilst you are not hitting it. I don't wanna lose terps, these are part of the entourage effect!
This flavor only in first hit effect is a classic property of conduction vapes IME, wherein conduction will cook off the flavor before the other actives in an invisible vapor you can't even necessarily see coming off the vape! This is what happens in the Solo, and even moreso in vapes with more conduction heating (some of which still have their place for concentrates which melt up more readily than the actives ground up in plant material, but are not a portable I want to use for flowers!)
Still, I have actually been kindly reassured that this problem does not take place with the Grasshopper, @BuzzDanklin reports that the flavor stays throughout the bowl after the first hit and does not disappear in the form of invisible vapor escaping the vape after your first inhalation
I am relieved, but should not surprised to hear this because the grasshopper is supposed to be convection only.

Regarding the SS case that everyone is keen to see, I did think about adding one of these to my order but was concerned that if it was just raw stainless on the inside with no liner, wouldn't repeated removal/rattling around in the case cause unnecessary scratches and blemishes to the GH?
I've just added 2 leather sleeves to my order as I was also thinking of pocket lint gumming up the mouthpiece.

I am worried about the heat harshness & taste, i nearly waited for the reviews now wish i had, can you get enough cloud on lower temps? and can you avoid the heat and bad taste? ( i wont ever go high temp they are for almost smokers 
Also how come the bubbler is more expensive than the GH itself @ $150
Sorry in advance for the double post i left it a while thought someone would have said something and had no way of telling...

That's the 1 do we no if this will fit perfectly? no holding together , maybe a bit of silicon needed?

Im curious if the gh ss case will cause this false on effect too...
Looks like Trevor already answered this with a resounding no.

dodgy site?

Although perhaps not a huge issue...there are at least 3 very common metal things that could often be around your vape: a Grinder, a pill fob, a loading tool. And of course spare change in a pocket or bag/purse is pretty common. To have to even think about this issue is kind of dissapointing/annoying. But at least there are work arounds....put the silicone mouthpiece on the button, separate storage, or have accessories around it that are made of plastic or non-metal materials.
Looking forward to more reviews to see what other issues pop up...

Check out the cheap glass thread. Many people use that site. (Dhgate)
If you do use it than you will probably have to confirm the payment with your bank.
The trust site you link to is based off one single review with no text? (Edit: looks the review was removed)

I wouldn't call loads of bad reviews 1 review dig deeper! 81.2% give it 1 star out of 5! i have since found out this smaller glass is pretty useless as water goes into your mouth being how 1 end is too small.`
Ahh, I see. Whoops!
In the mobile site that single removed review looked like the only one. After a few clicks I found the rest.

Damn! I can't even keep up with this thread it's moving so damn fast!
Ever used Ethernet over Powerline in your house?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication
I'm betting it uses some sort of modulated frequency to send signals. The body of the pen acts as a transmitter for this modulated frequency.
No, there are no wires in the vapor path that was one major aspect of the whole design, wireless communication between microprocessors.
They're not doing anything fancy here, it's been done for years in other industries, they simply applied it to a vape.
What I find most interesting is the metal 'sense' bug in the design. If the vaporizer is off, why are the lights turning on at all? How fast will this drain the battery when not in use? Should we not store a battery in the vape for extended periods of time?
I'd like to see someone confirm the heater is NOT turning on by using a coin to activate the lights, and taking a slow drag - see if any vapor is produced.
Nope - the Ascent's offgassing was caused by the silicone. They fixed the problem by finishing the Silicone curing process in America.
There were a few reports of visible wires under the oven in the Ascent on some early units, but that wasn't an issue (they were far enough away from the heat). They simply hadn't been properly tucked into the wire clip on the body of the vape during assembly
If *anything* I suspect there may be slight offgassing from the heater itself, but let's wait for more feedback before we jump the gun and assume some phantom wires are causing toxic offgassing.
Also I'm betting that clicking sound is probably the oven turning on/off as it maintains temp

With the short glass tubes of the Solo i always thoughttit actually was a standout in flavor.
Edit. I typically use it at temp 2 or 3, no higher..and start sucking while it is still heating up so my technique may be a factor.

That's really interesting, I've never heard of running ethernet through your electric supply. I live in a rural area and I guess we haven't discovered such things, yet. I'm really intrigued by the whole idea though, I'm gonna read through that wiki page at some point

That really depends on if you agree with me or not.
