Skip the Pax 2. It does not compare, IMO. If you can wait till late March, early April as that is when it will most likely ship, then stay on course, but definitely get some other vape to tide you over. Maybe consider something inexpensive and easy to use, like the VapCap.Just wanted to post a email I received from gh about my ship date:
Today:
I apologize that we have not yet reached your place in the shipping queue. I understand the wait is longer than you anticipated. We are doing everything we can to get your Grasshopper in your hands as soon as possible. We are in the process of updating our online shipping estimates and once this is complete, I will have a much better idea of when your Grasshopper will ship. This will most likely not be in January. I understand this is not what you were hoping to hear, but I want to be as realistic as possible.
If you decide you can no longer wait, let me know and I can cancel your order and issue you a refund.
We sincerely thank you for your patience and look forward to getting your Grasshopper in your hands soon.
Best,
Caroline

I ordered my grasshopper and accessories on october 1st, over three months later in the middle of january and I haven't even received a shipping notice. Can you give me any sort of assurance that my vape will be here by the end of january? I'm getting tired of waiting and am on the verge of cancelling my order so please let me know
Thanks very much, (insert true identity here).
Think I should wait with all the issues people are experiencing or just cancel? I've been looking at the pax 2 wondering if that's the better option, considering it will likely reach me within a week,... rather than waiting until god knows when to get a buggy GH that I have to pay to ship back with no guarantee that the one they send back even works right XP
i think that SS case defeats a purpose of GH being stealthy. for example- you go trough security check of summer festival. ether you carry your Hopper in pocket or in a bag. ether way metal detector is going to beep. so security guard asks: "what is this?" you say "a pen". he asks: "Why it is inside a case like that". "Because it is a very expensive pen you might argue". "So why da F you carry so precious pen inside a festival? i wanna check it." dahhh,...
i think the most stealthy way to carry GH is in your front pocket together with a little notebook. using a leather sleeve is better for that, as you can still use a clip.
They had problems with its design. No info that the problem has been fixed.Why would I carry the case with me into a concert? I rarely go to concerts anyway haha. I want the stainless steel case for when I have it in my car. Which I drive around everyday. To keep the smell contained.
And yeah I know it's not out yet but I figure I might as well order now and hope I get it in March and not have to wait if I order it later.
I am a pre order and haven't been waiting that long but am anxious to get the GH in my hands. I love my pax2 but it isn't a quick hitter like the GH. Quick question to those that have one, does this unit smell after use? I anticipate the GH to be similar to my MFLB in smell which is pretty minimal. Is that accurate?
Main problem (from gh threads) is backend high heat, or other backend problems. Some have seen the blinking lights of death too.I took a break from the thread for a bit because updates were less then spectacular for a while so now got the confirmation email finally but alas no tracking but my friend 30mins away already got hers and is rubbing it in
I was curious though what are the symptoms of a grasshopper that is not working properly? She mentioned the hopper got super hot really fast. I was curious when I do get mine what to look out for and what's normal.
Thanks for the quick reply and yea I'm hoping mine doesn't have those issues. My friend mentioned the heating that it's an ok vape pen nothing revolutionary.Main problem (from gh threads) is backend high heat, or other backend problems. Some have seen the blinking lights of death too.
Hope yours is perfect!
Sounds like you have a lot of catch up reading to doThanks for the quick reply and yea I'm hoping mine doesn't have those issues. My friend mentioned the heating that it's an ok vape pen nothing revolutionary.
Wasn't the whole reason for the pens creation was to get around standard heating problems? Back end heating being high enough to short out and create the Christmas lights of death a common issue? is this product what we were promised when we backed it? I know people are getting them in their hands now. Is the reviews omg this changes everything? Or meh another pen vape I waited years for.. ?
I'm excited to get mine soon but I'm also hoping it is what they promised.. Waited so long for it lol

Haha I figured as much but getting ready to go to work I was hoping I could ask but I guess I will save the reading for later.Sounds like you have a lot of catch up reading to do
People here who have a trouble free gh mostly say it's a game changer!
Hot back end = bad back end, submit warranty request, will have replacement in a week. Hopper IS revolutionary, in there's no other simple, temp stepping, full-speed ripping vape one-hitter. My Grasshopper sessions last as long as a combustion one-hitter session, <2min, and that brings a quick perspective shift that I was totally missing from combustion. THAT's a game changer, I finally have a vape I can hand to a combustion friend and they GET it. Also crazy efficient, I have to stop myself from loading more than a 1/2 bowl cause it just doesn't look like much, but convection vapes do awesome w/ an unpacked bowl.Haha I figured as much but getting ready to go to work I was hoping I could ask but I guess I will save the reading for later.
I recommended in good faith to my friend to watch videos maybe there was something she might be doing or not doing to cause the issue.
Her heating back end was immediate not an over time issue.
I emailed grasshopper the past two days about tracking but I'm sure they are busy but ugh so close!! Wanna know its in transit!! Lol
try loading less herb...Haha I figured as much but getting ready to go to work I was hoping I could ask but I guess I will save the reading for later.

4 times in a row I couldn't use my Hopper after work. I kept it in my coat pocket during but once I got outside it would start and then go red mid hit. I try and click it on several times after that and it behaves as if it has no battery. I got in the car to connect it to the charger. Initially it did not even flash any lights like it did for the first heat up. I reconnected and a quick red blip. ..I waited a few minutes for it to charge more and for my car to get warmer, it would turn on but it seemed all the battery was drained (even though it should have been full). At first I didn't think it was on but I saw some red flickering then it went out and 3 seconds later went blue. Started my drag and 2 seconds later it went red. I was able to get about 4 actual hits from my Hopper on my way back and then swapped for a new battery once at home and killed the bowl even further.
Temp outside was about 20F, I've had my Hopper in warmer weather after work and it works so it is unfortunate how well the unit/batteries are affected in the cold.

Definitely the cold it happened a couple months ago on first snowfall. All my Hoppers are still good. Back-ends can get hot on some days but the units get used at least once daily. And until they actually stop working or burn me I won't send them in.lets hope those lags was due to cold weather. please keep us updated how your GH is behaving.
I doubt he is trolling or anomaly. I see Buzz (VaporizerWizard) display his in the snowy areas. It works sometimes but most it seems to be shorter of a session than it should and that sounds understandable to me considering its cold. I only mention now because of the four day in a row consistency.That's weird, cause I saw someone on Reddit say they'd used theirs when it was like 10 below. I wonder if they were just an anomaly or if they were trolling...
