    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I typically like to start on 2.5 for a couple flavor hits straight out of the unit with no bubbler. But I still have to pull hard enough that it did pull some kief into my mouth so I use a bubbler now if there is kief. This is even with a slightly tamped herb sandwich. The screens aren't fine...

    I think that might be a reasonable expectation, especially considering this is a convection device. It probably works best with a lot of airflow anyways. So I can't use kif in it.. oh well. You'll definitely get your fat rips :tup:

    One thing I have noticed about the GH is you can't really draw slowly through it. They have some way of detecting that you're drawing so that they can auto-shutoff and maintain temperature, but it's not very sensitive. Unless you create a fairly fast draw speed, the GH will shut off while you're...

    Safety is just as important as anything else. The problem could be worse than foreign object causing a short in the back end. There could be a bad decision made in the circuit design (like adding unnecessary resistance in the back end).

    I did notice that my GH backend does get very hot, but only when I have the temp set at 5 and I'm ripping it hard. I sent them an email about it. I hope these guys had actual electrical engineering experience...

    See my post in the main GH thread. I found gunk on my negative lead in the cap but cleaned it off before doing anything. Haven't seen the back heat bad yet at all.

    The vapor isn't harsh or hot for me, just the mouthpiece. Vapor is smooth, even at temp 5. No coughing. Also, I forgot to mention (in the initial reaction post I did in the GH shipping thread) that I did notice slight layer of sticky gunk on the back battery lead on the endcap so I cleaned it...

    I received my GH today as well! Sorry to hear about your damaged units @HillaryClinton :( My early bird SS unit also had quite a few slight scratches, one long one right along the clip line I don't think I'm gonna bother them about it. The scratches aren't terribly noticeable and I could...

    Yeah I remember me and @HillaryClinton were early birds (seems like forever ago right?) and backed about the same time about half way thru the early birds or less. So I'd say there's about 50 units to go till they get to regular backers, assuming they go sequentially and are still struggling to...

    Yep. I assume that's because I also have the SS case, WPA, and oils front end included in that single order, and those aren't available yet.

    USPS does a terrible job with tracking in general. Apparently UPS offers the same service and I can't see any packages coming from them either. So either it hasn't been shipped yet or USPS doesn't even have it in their system. EDIT: I emailed trevor about it and he got back with me in < 1hr and...

    Has anyone mentioned which delivery service GH is using? If @Grepper got his without receiving tracking info, maybe mine really is on its way. There is a new way to view USPS parcels without tracking numbers and it doesn't show anything on it's way here, so hopefully they're using UPS or FedEx.

    I also got my confirmation on 7/20 and have not received a shipping notice, but my status on the site now says "Partially Shipped" which is great news since I haven't seen that before! My guess is that I'll receive an email this evening when their batch process is scheduled to send out...

    I emailed GH a week ago to see what was up since I was seeing later early bird backers than me already getting their units. He promptly sent me the address confirmation email, but I still haven't gotten a shipping notice. So either there's a long list now or they're waiting on something.

    Early bird backer - July 2015. If they are claiming to be able to assemble 4000 units per month by sometime in July, then they must have gotten a lot of preorders given some people having to wait till September... I'm getting annoyed now.

    It said on track to produce 1000 a week by July. So they probably can't get that volume just yet. But extrapolating back I don't see why they can't 250 per week right now, which is enough for me to get mine :)

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    There are 123 holiday backers and 120 early bird backers. Being one of the first early bird backers, I was hoping the update would at least give some indication of when early birds units would ship. I'll be pretty disappointed if I don't get my address confirmation this week or next.
