(The lack of) this thing (in my life) is pissing me off.

No problem.. This thing gets so cloudy. The air never got close to the clouds the hopper makes. I will say the air definately still got you stoned but the hopper is just so much more from so much less.

I agree, the Hopper is great for small amounts and conserving your herb. The Grasshopper is the king of small amounts because most other vapes need a decent amount just to fill the chamber adequately for good vapor production, especially conduction vaporizers but the GH chamber design makes it great for small pinches and you will get vapor from a pinch, like a dug-out one-hitter pinch, or you can pack it full and really get some potent, dense hits.
If you all are looking for a good traveling case for your GH beside the SS Case from Hopper Labs, then you should check out the Atmos Traveling Case. It works perfectly with the GH and you can store extra stuff like a battery and some brushes/pokers because it has extra elastic straps to hold stuff down, securely. This is my "extended" GH set-up:

No hoppers yet but I got a case with a built-in battery testor http://m.vapornation.com/innokin-vape-gear-case.html

Im enjoying the case recommendations. I went with this fabric pen case, should work out nicely when my Hopper shows up! It's a plus that it's cruelty free as well!

For those on a budget the plastic case you get with the Enano stems. That's a real pen, I thought it would be a nice style for a GH. I don't know how sensitive the clicker to turn on is? I wouldn't want it to accidentally turn on with the plastic, I just thought. Leather would be better if that happened.

Could you provide a link to where you can find the case? I looked around and couldn't find it. Looks like a nice case for the hopper. Is it leather on the outside? I found this one but it's not the same one....https://www.atmosrx.com/Accessories/Atmos-Vaporizer-Leather-Case/flypage.tpl.html

They are still making minor changes to the design, and assembly of this device..
New heating chamber: https://instagram.com/p/5SDHs9HxOJ/
Old heating chamber: https://radvapereviews.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/grasshopper-1267.jpg (@Just Justin)
Admittedly a "v 0.9" but Im fairly sure we have seen models that dont have the hex screen on both the chamber and mouthpiece that were delivered after the fix for the temp sensor threw codes for several recipients.

I actually asked Trevor about that because my first unit was an older screen model and the new one was a different screen. He told me it was just one of many minor tweaks they have been making.
Also you know for science I thought I would give the hopper another Kief run. This time packed it with a bit more than last time and loaded it up and it went for several drags. This was the 3rd draw.

In conclusion. Holy fuck.
Those design changes occurred over a month or two ago, and those links are outdated accordingly, even if they were posted only yesterday. No design changes are being made at this time. However, assembly procedures are always in a process of flux and tweaking. Shipments of the current iteration are currently in process. Correct me if I'm mistaken, please.

I don't know, I got my GH within the last month and mine does not have the screen like that in the chamber.....I will ask Trevor next email about the new??? screen/chamber, unless someone else already asked?
If that is the new design, I hope that outer/upper chamber screen is removable because debris will definitely get behind that, in between the permanent-heater-screen and the supposedly new chamber-screen because the mesh is very open but I really like the idea of having a screen above the permanent one........I hope that is something Hopper Labs will offer customers with older versions to upgrade if that's the case

Unfortunately, the failure rate still remains significant:
http://www.reddit.com/r/GrassHopperVape/comments/3drvx5/with_all_the_new_hoppers_out/
"Yeah, have been having continuous sessions and it definitely works just fine with a little finnicking. It's been fun getting to know the vape before I'll probably have to send it back for warranty :/."
Works just fine, except when it doesn't, so needs to be sent back....

I'm sure Trevor will take care of you, but they are quite busy right now. From a business priority standpoint.... you have a working GH, thousands others don't even have their GH yet. So unless yours is broken, it's not top priority to ship you are replacement right now (hence why he may not respond for a while).
I personally would let them finish rolling out the first wave of shipments and get "caught up" - then ping him in several months to exchange hoppers for an updated one. (Or wait for a fatal flaw to develop in your GH and get a replacement at that time :lol).
Who know's maybe early-bird grasshoppers will outperform later models. Just ask @Shit Snacks about his Indica's and which one was his favorite from the bunch he's owned/killed.

I wonder if this is the same issue as before?

No, this is regarding a problem with the battery fit. I wouldn't yet suspect it to be widespread, seems isolated for now.

from Reddit... 2 responses after the above one:

"Actually, looks like the thing is back to its old "broken" tricks again. God damn it, may have to just bite the bullet and contact support on this one."

that's the problem with a replaceable battery versus a soldered-into-the-device battery ... the extreme high current flow (say > 10 amps) degrades the contacts ... just speculating since i don't have a GH, but that has been my experience for 10 years.
guh
that battery issue could just be the battery and not the body?
there are more hoppers out now, so not exactly the same failure rate
I feel so much intensity from some of these posts like everything is amplified. My brain is already too amplified and sensitive to add any worrying, lol. fuck maybe it's just me.

Ten amps? Refresh my memory, isn't this thing only 30 Watts, or was that an average? I seem to recall reading at some point it can peak at 45 Watts, which I guess would make it over ten.
