Ok so I got a response from trevor. A few fun things you guys may want to know. The silicon tip is alcohol safe. Mine is begining to get dirty and I was wondering if i could cleant it like the front end and he said it is safe. He hasn't heard of the device getting caught in a loop before and asked me to record a cellphone video if it happens again and assured me if something was wrong in any way they would get me a new one immediately. Lastly the thing that makes all my idle off issues makes since. He told me there is a 1.5 second cool off period immediately after an idle shut off to protect the battery.
Now I am really struggling to find a negative. Really I am. The only one is vapor heat without water above a 4. But this is A subjective and B understandable with thr hoppers short vapor path. I have about 4 main ways of using the hopper now and they all vary but have the same general effects.
1. Small pinch. If I am out and about like hiking biking skating or somewhere not very populated I like 3.2-3.4 without silicone tip. The silicon piece isnt needed because I only need to take a rip or two and then tuck it away.
2. Small pinch. If I am home I generally only use my glass piece not because the vapor is always super harsh but i usually cant handle much over 3.7 without water. That doesn't mean the vapor at 3.7 is at all inefective it isnt. But when i put that bad boy to 4.2 4.4. Through a bubbler. I get fat rips that I can comfortably inhale and hold and I can just sit it aside.
3. Fully packed. If I am with friends. Same as above but with a packed oven. Sometimes if there is 4 or more and it is in a constant rotation even clicking it off and on everytime the unit itself gets a bit hot. But if everyone gets a fat rip it may be almost out when it comes around but everyone should definately feel something off a full pack. I know me and 6 people shared 3 bowls and we were fantastic.
4. Fully packed. If I am somewhere fairly populated I will not use the tip and have the temp at 2 to start and work it up to a 3 tops. I take a rip and wait a few as not to look weird then take another few as needed. The vapor is thin stealthy and smooth. It is also unfair how tasty it is at these temps. Definately produces odor. Like any vape.
All in all the versatility of this thing makes it stand up to alot of desktops I have used. Including the volcano. Even with the heat which is literally my only complaint. The grasshopper is like putting your face over the volcano output. I use less than my volcano did and get as far as a minimum pack on my volcano got me. Now I will say to go above a certain temp I need water but that is not a big deal in my opinion because most desktops you have to be near an outlet to use anyway.
The desktops I have used for those curious are DBV SSV Vapexhale cloud herbalaireh2.2 high output zephyr ion volcano lsv extreme q.
I use it pretty much the same way except when in a group I usually encourage folks to just take their own pinch, crush it and then pass it on so everyone gets freshies. Even factoring load time that way I think it's still faster than waiting for a pax to even warm up but on th other hand I'm usually not in a rush when consuming cannabis :-)
I have used it with the fully packed bowl at low temp, I agree you could use it that way virtually anywhere, it does taste great and I feel the effect any temparture above 2. It's not my preferrence though because I've been finding airflow is inverse related to pack.
@Ratchett I've got a slightly complicated yet awesome case idea I'd love to give you.
I'd love to hear about it to! the ideal case holds some ground herb (and perhaps that compartment has a spout that just happens to be the internal circumference of the bowl :-) and an extra battery
Being thinking about the loading queries/ideas and had a thought that compliments the stealth aspect of the GH. Nice fast no fuss re-loads.
I don't know what effect it would have on taste and I imagine those with no rolling skills might struggle to get it right, but as far as easy loading of the oven goes. How about rolling a joint to the inside diameter of the oven and cutting it into nice little oven log lengths? It would certainly make for faster, stealthier no mess reloads on the fly
I imagine a little stash full of pre-cut different lengths logs (shorts for the 'little pinch' folk and a few bigger logs for a little crowd taming) would be pretty handy for day to day challenges.
I think that once you all get your Grasshopper's I think you'll be less concerned about the ease of load. It's real easy to load as is and I couldn't imagine wanting a standardized size when part of the charm is the flexibility of how much you can use. It's awesome to be at a party and just taste a pinch of someone else's strange and if it's fire pack in some more no problem.
The other factor which is IMPOSSIBLE to know until you try one because as a total fanboy (not just for GH just my personality Apple, BMW and now GH, the BMW of vapes lol) I would not have believed it. In fact when I watched
@BuzzDanklin s video my thought was "damn, I might actually smoke too much weed, cus it's that guy's job to smoke weed and he seems WAAAY to wrecked for that tiny tiny amount of dope ...
Well I stand corrected.
So the reason why I think 95% of the people that think they care about ease of load won't care about it once they have their unit is because depending on tolerance/strain/temp you will be high by your second hit, real high by your third and won't want the 4th unless it's some amazing flavor (plus it'll probably auto-shut off by then). And to get me a person that consumes all day everyday, a pinch is always enough, if I'm feeling like I don't want reload for awhile I might step it up to 3 pinches.
There is no way to convince someone of the ahem ... efficiency of this unit without having seen it themself so I'm not gonna try. I would just say that I wouldn'tve believed it either and even if I did I wouldn'tve cared but now it's the "feature" I talk about the most!
Although question for Buzz, it's possible that I just haven't mastered the firefly yet but I think I'm fairly competent and do get great flavor, I'm wondering if you still think the firefly is the overall winner in that category. The GH has as good if not better flavor at low temps IMO with none of the hassle, wondering if you have any use tips for FF specific to maximum flavor or if your opinion has changed?
Cheers!
