I realized as I was writing how bad that sounded but I also was laughing really hard while writing it, so it is written with love.
My Hopper took a tough tumble last night. I used it a couple times and it was working fine, but I took 1 hit today, left it for a bit and when I tried to hit it again it shut off after 2 or 3 seconds. So, Hopsies is dead
But, this is a new one for sure. When I screw in the backend, it seems to think it's turning on. Here's the kicker - when I plug it it, it blinks like normal. If I turn it on, it goes between red flashing and red solid and is all whacky. This is with both batteries I have unfortunately. I can't quite tell, but it seems to be the backend. It feels a little different when clicking down. It was a nasty fall
:I
I don't think the body is messed up... except for the flashing lights like weird, so maybe it is. GHL will probably get back to me tomorrow since I put it in after 5 P.M. their time (I feel like they do E-Mail 9-5, GHL work near 24/7).
I'm sad that I fucked it up lol. I have dropped it a couple times before, but this one was on the backend clicker :/ and it is a hard carpet and it also probably hit the wall, so it must have gotten pretty rattled. She sounds so sad
The worst part? The Air and the Flowermate just don't compare for me
I got so used to the Grasshopper that I think I'm underwhelmed. Maybe using both together will help remedy my "pain".
At least this means I'll probably get a newer unit that has gotten the revisions! I can't help but think about the times where I would think there was something wrong with my Grasshopper. Occasionally it wouldn't seem to fully vape the product.. but then the battery dies and I just switched it and back to normal. I think playing with the pressure of the backend and the gold ring can have a performance impact. I feel like evidence to support this is those who needed to press their backends together to get it to work when it comes apart.
Also, I don't know if I'm mentioned this before, but it you apply a small amount of pressure down on the dial and turn it becomes much much easier.
Sorry to update with the bad news! At the very least this is a Grasshopper that lasted from 10/5 to 12/1, which seems to be pretty good for supposed recent influx of bad Grasshoppers (those naughty beasts).
