Discontinued The Grasshopper

I so wish I could! As I sit here sucking on my Crafty, I really want my GH(s) to try this :tup:

I promise I'm not making things up but for whatever reason using the cooling unit with GH is ripping me more than normal. I'm surmising that I'm getting more vapor only because there truly does appear to be more per toke. Maybe it's best to not question what the gods have gifted.

As an aside: what is making the GH my go to is I don't even have to grind. I just pinch material right off the bud into chamber and I'd argue that tastes as good if not better than grinding. So what we have here is the overall fastest vape I've experienced.

You're not the only one to say that. I can't remember where I read it but someone said they have totally gone off grinding for the Grasshoppper and just pinch buds .... ya know kinda like a grasshopper.

I actually "pinch off bud" 90% of the time for convenience. If I'm really gonna session a strain I'll grind a bud but usually just a pinch and I think flavor may actually be better than a grind.

In my 7 months with the Grasshopper I have noticed my consumption patterns change to suit the device and it's all changes I like. I can tell you I don't really miss my grinder and when I do have to use it for joints or other devices I frequently pinch of a bud and throw it in the Grasshopper to vape while I grind.

The GH is definitely a new category of vape, other vapes have certain features and may even out perform in some but nothing does everything the way I like like a Grasshopper, it's my BMW 3 series of vapes, definite daily driver for those who like to drive!

One thing I do like about grinding is how easy it is to fill the chamber. What I do is put the grinded material in a small jar where I can fill just like you would a one hitter whenever I want. I just gently stab the material into the chamber. But generally I'm not noticing a difference between pinching and grinding. If I pinch it ends up "grinded" anyway after a few tokes.

Ok, so I tested again with the Crafty cooling unit. I recommend tilting the CU toward you downward a bit for a better seal. The vapor is ridiculously cooler. It's almost like a toke from the Crafty. I'd say so much so that I'll probably never use the crafty body ever again. Why? I also carried the CU in my left pocket and the GH in my right. Super duper stealth and easily forgotten in your pockets. Somebody else confirm this so I know I'm not delusional. :mental:

You are a genius dude! I couldn't wait until I got home last night to try this with my Craft CU and GH. I too feel like I'm getting more. ripped. I think it's because you can take bigger hits because the vapor is cooler.
 
So I've received my hopper about 2 weeks ago, I was so excited about it. I packed my herbs, clicked it on, waited til the blue light turned off, hit it and nothing. mind you I never saw the red lights. I emailed support, caroline told me to fill out a warranty claim. I got around to it about a week later, I said okay lets just try one more time before filling this out. I tried and it worked. I got through about 3-4 bowls before I had to head out for class, I was going to hit it before going to class, and low and behold it stops working again. now I only have blue lights. sent an email with a video attached of the issue to caroline

now heres what im curious about, you guys keep talking about external chargers... where the heck can I get one of those?! point me in the right direction please! if i get a new one I want to do external charging since it sounds like people are having less issues than body charging. also I'll keep you updated on what happens.

You should be hitting it as soon as you see blue lights (3-5 seconds.) You may be waiting long enough that auto shut off is kicking on. (18seconds)

Right!!?? I'm convinced that I'm able to rip more because the vapor is much cooler. I just tried a different strain and same thing happened where I'm sitting back thinking why do I feel the effects more. The only logical answer is more medicine is been taken in which means I'm able to draw more and longer because of how cool the vapor is. I can't believe how effective Crafty's CU is. I thought it was all sound and fury about nothing but it appears their design is actually a design! Works so very well at cooling the vapor!

And btw I am one handing this jerry-rig. It really is that simple and effective!

You want to hit it when the blue lights are on! That means it's heated up. It will auto shutoff after 10-12 seconds once the lights go blue, unless you hit it, then it will stay on longer. Red lights mean it's heating up (among other things).

I know I might be stating the obvious but, are you aware it has an auto shutoff?
yes, totally aware, im getting only blue lights and no heat lol

just out of curiosity, what temp are you setting it at? When I set mine at less than 3, it immediately goes blue.

Easily done once I have my hopper. Although I'm confused, are you guys removing the mouthpiece and using the screen in the Crafty's CU to hold the herb back?
See the pic on the last post on page 244. But, you just gave me a better idea by incorporating the Crafty CU w/o the screen and w/0 Grasshopper mouthpiece. Thanks! Connected this way, I can put the Grasshopper at 5 and get cool tasty vapor and clouds my Water pieces are jealous about. There is no draw restriction this way and the taste seems to go a bit further.

It's time to re-post this as a svelte glass alternative :tup:
I like this but really would it be nice to just have a small 9mm chamber add the the end of that glass... maybe it's not 9mm but whatever size the ID is of the GH chamber.... so no need for the mouth piece or the adapter..... a straight glass tube would also work well and it would be easier to reclaim and clean if scraping it out is what you prefer...as I do....

Additional benefit would be the absolute ease of loading a glass tube or chamber..... simply vacuum up your freshly ground herb....no fuss zero mess..... easy peasy lemon squeezy.... :peace:
