Well hopefully nobody changed emails in all this wait (or other disconnect mishap). More than a few along the way here didn't even know they could log into the website to view their order status.
I know, I feel like that could be a real problem, along with the email filter issue. I run a search for "grasshopper" in there once a week or so, just in case, but now I'll just keep an eye on my order status. I am moving at the end of this month, and may be without internet access for some time, right when mine is supposedly due to ship. I asked if I could "preconfirm" an alternate address so it doesn't hang in limbo and I get delayed another month. Trevor just gave me the copy/paste about no longer manually updating addresses and that nothing will be shipped until the confirmation response is submitted.
I asked if there was a possibility mine would ship in July as stated and he just didn't bother to respond. I'd love to have it in hand, but at this point I fully expect the confirmation note to arrive 45 seconds after we roll out for another state.


I wonder if anyone's seeing "offgassing" now that they're handling the screens, and presumably other parts, with gloves?

Still making the tools this far in the game? Thought they were mainly focused at making the GH's themselves at this point and had that all figured out, well that explains the slow ship rate....I mean good headway....yeah that's it. :evil:

Lol, hey now - ramping up mass production often means you find easier ways to assemble/manufacture key parts.

Sometimes it's easy for the designer to assemble and build his invention, but harder for new employees to copy the process. These new tools could be necessary to ensure more people can build/assemble the vapes with less training/practice.

Just ask @Dan Morrison how much time he's spent making tools to build his (fucking gorgeous) Okin vaporizer

Goes back to quality control. Systems and templates are great for creating consistency. And that's what we want...for EVERY gh to be flawless.

Are folks actually getting a notice of shipment or only an address confirmation email? I got the latter on Tuesday for my 11/14/13 Early Bird SS hopper, but no notice of shipment yet.

I get that, still would have thought more have been shipped by now but I understand.

Well, it's not like they said a month ago that by now they'd be cranking out a thousand of them a week or anything...or did they?

They never said they'd do that, they said they'd be "on track". I'm not sure, but I think they followed it with a ;)

Actually they didn't suggest a thousand per week but thousands!
"We’re on-target to be producing thousands of units per week by the end of July." To be fair, they do have another week or two to hit that target -- however unlikely.:rolleyes:

Seems like another early backer received his grasshopper https://www.reddit.com/r/GrassHopperVape/comments/3djykk/the_wait_is_over/

...and just think...all of those boxes within the boxes and also all of the boxes holding those boxes within, were shipped in the box hold of a ship from China and then transported possibly in the box hold of a train and then moved to the trailer (box) of a tractor-trailer...

...it's enough to cause multiple box-gasms!

Little boxes at the hopper labs,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the workbench,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a bronze one
And a blue one and a purple one,
And they're all made out of Ti tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people on the backer list
All went to the indigogo page,
Where they were shown some boxes
And told when they would came,
Some are angry, some are patient,
And all just want their damn hopper,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

WOW what an informative and valuable use of my time, to even get to see how the shipping box gets opened!

I have no doubt that the folks at GH has been reading a bit off of online cannabis communities such as FC. After all Mike was posting on the GH thread until last fall 2014, haven't heard anything on FC from him since last Oct. I'm sure he's a busy man these days.

I'm just surprised that some of the FC folks that have had their orders in for some time haven't received their Hoppers yet?

Wishing everybody a speedy delivery with very few faulty units. I don't want a vaporizer that burns your product because the heating element is too close to the oven. There's a video in the Grasshopper thread that gives me reason to be concerned.

No offense guys, but I for one will rip mine open and be using it within minutes of getting it. No unboxing vid from this guy. Getting a little tired of all the reviews. If @HillaryClinton hasn't gotten theirs, I'm still skeptical.

Edit: a dream I know, but it would be nice to get some actual numbers from these guys. Enough of the vague speak.

To be fair they have to get done with the 100+ Holiday backers, and I am still about 40 in line after that, that said it means not even 200 have been shipped yet no? Little disappointing based on the thousands estimate by about now.

There's a video in the Grasshopper thread that gives me reason to be concerned.

That is concerning, what vid?
