Whatever it is, I hope it attempts to explain the problems people have been having with their GH's that fail. GHL never seems worried but it seems like there are a lot of fails for some reason and I hope it doesn't end up hurting them and that they get to the bottom of it for good. Its a great device and people really like them but they can't keep it up if they keep failing. I don't know why some GH's seem fine, work without any problems, while others don't work from the very start or something happens very quickly. My GH's are still going strong, I haven't had an issue with any of the GH I own or have tested, 4 or 5 in total (own 2 ). I have noticed if you "stutter" press the on/off, like really quickly and not fully depress the clicker, the lights will flash red but when that happens, I just click it all the way to turn on then off again.
Is it still possible to use the "unofficial stealth mode" by just pressing and holding the clicker (instead of actually clicking it on) so that the heater comes up with no lights?
1 year later barely anything has changed.
Welcome @pushpaw ! And thx for your report!Been lurking around on FC for a while, and have been meaning to post in this thread for a while as well. I was a Dec 2013 backer (who fully understood the risks when I backed, and did it anyway) and I received my titanium GH almost 2 weeks ago. Mine has been working flawlessly, and it really is something. I was hoping for a quick little vapor one hitter that my wife and I can share when out and about, and it meets that need perfectly. If anything, it almost works too well as we've found ourselves hitting 7 or 8 when aiming for more like a 5 haha.
I agree with the notion that people are more likely to post about issues than successes, as this is true all across the internet with pretty much anything tech related. That said, I do think that there are plenty of people having real issues, but am still hopeful that GHL will get these worked out. I really want to see what a v2 of this device will be like. I also suspect that many of the issues may be related to how the charger works. I bought several extra batteries, and am charging them using a nitecore d2 and just swapping them as needed as that is much more convenient to me than hooking it up to a usb port.
So you can add me to the tally of hopper owners who (so far, anyway) have not had any problems with it.

How many hoppers did you purchase?My order total is $666 which is a little disconcerting
I have adjusted my technique and draws speed now so I can now use it naked without discomfort.
