Discontinued The Grasshopper

I want to clarify the warranty procedure for any Grasshoppers being bought from Vapefiend- it has been brought up a few times here so I felt I should post it here to make it clear.

Even though you bought from Vapefiend, you must still register your Grasshopper via the Grasshopper website, using your serial no. and the code on your box.

In the event of a fault developing, you must file your warranty claim through the Grasshopper website in the first instance, making sure to mention that you bought your Grasshopper from Vapefiend. This is because Grasshopper need to respond to any trends quickly and so need to collect data about faults as they occur.

If a replacement or repair is necessary, and the customer is outside North America, Vapefiend will then contact customer to arrange the next step, which will usually involve sending the unit in to us in London, England for repairs or replacement. Customers inside North America will probably get their issue solved by Grasshopper in Colorado as it makes more sense.
i hope one day to see a warranty service center in Europe. even if Hopper bought from HopperLabs directly. that aint no cool to deal with trans-Atlantic postage. it takes more time and money. maybe your company can be that center?

At the moment we can only handle warranty claims from our own customers, sorry about that.

Hi Vaperist,
Precisely. Plus, when you make little exhalations, they should be done through the nose, to take advantage of the mucous membranes associated with olfactory stimulation.

:myday:
Do you practice this? Exhaling vapor through my nose is very irritating and uncomfortable. Yes, in theory it should increase the amount of vapor that is absorbed, but in practice it makes me feel like I need to sneeze. And the benefits with be negligible even if it was comfortable. Maybe it has something to do with nasal membranes being more dry than throat membranes.

I do have to say I practice rebreathing techniques through the lungs which is effective to maximize your vapor intake. Helps build strong lungs too!

I don't make it a point to exhale through my nose, but exhaling vapor doesn't irritate my nose at all, not like smoke did.

Hi Nickzzzx,
I am in pre-order purgatory for a titanium Grasshopper. Currently I am using an original Firefly, which does produce cool vapor due to it's stainless steel vapor path, which acts as a heat sink to cool the vapor. So yes, I exhale as I described. It works for me.

i just tried that nose exhaling thing. yes, it give some kind of straight behind eyes medication. but you know what? i miss that herbal taste in my mouth :love: so i tried to slowly exhale trough both, mount and nose. i liked that!

p.s. one dood i know can exhale trough ears :mental: he demonstrated that buy blowing on a candle fire. i wonder, how does it feel to vapeout like that? :hmm:

Couldn't find this after a fair amount of searching; anyone done a proper measurement of the bowls diameter? Got a rather nifty idea for a storage container / filling tool...

Hey FluffMolotov,

I think you might find that the plastic tube that some cannabis e-cigs come packaged in will be just about perfect for your intended use.

You also have to remember it'll cost time and money for all parties involved. Grasshopper would have to pay the company for each warranty claim as well as shipping the replacement/parts. I don't think it'll be plausible for any vaporizer to do this in the near future, unless it becomes the mainstream vape around the globe.

just dip that Hopper in a med container or straight into your grinder. also one guy noted that it is super convenient to use PinaclePRO bullets for a quick on a go reloading. pack those things loose. so it is easy to pour it in that heating chamber.

Sure, been doing some reading and I'm not yet satisfied. Prefer not to touch my herb with anything overly sticky (like plastic polymers) and only store it in glass. Despite there being a medley of loading techniques out there, I'd like to make a clever product which may just satisfy a niche loading market. Hope I don't come across as too pretentious, I promise this thing will be cool! :razz:

I bought a pack of 10 glass "test tubes" with lids and a pack of 6 small metal "flask funnels" on Amazon for super cheap. I pour from the grinder, through the funnel into the tubes, and straight into my hopper from them. Boom.

Yo, Fluff,
Have you seen Ratchett's leather case for the Grasshopper and accessories yet ? It looks pretty friggin' sweet ! The only thing it lacks is a small sleeve/pocket to hold a, wait for it, . ., folding (!) funnel !

SNAP.

@tubasco We're on the same wavelength now, I'm just adding a mechanism to accurately dose a load into the hopper - or similar. Want to tailor the opening to fit the oven as closely as possible to minimize chance of spillage.

I used a funnel for my air stems, http://www.amazon.com/RSVP-Collapsible-Silicone-FUN-GR/dp/B0014RCQWI . Just cut out the segments to size and required stem diameter... Only problem is the silicone and/or plastic is too clingy for my liking.

I think ghl stopped the free sleeve with TI gh's a while ago...

Wait, did HL just decide to not include it in any orders or is this just new orders?

The sleeve was listed in the description when I ordered mine...even though now it isn't listed in the description on their site. Seems wrong that they would not include it for people who ordered when it was supposed to be included. Can anyone confirm that they are including the sleeve for older orders?

The sleeve was included for the backers not preorders. Tho I am not sure when that was decided.
