    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I was in a similar situation as you a couple months ago. I decided to not cancel my pre-order, but because I was so tired of waiting, I ordered a second GH from Vape Fiend in London, which arrived within 9 days. The original GH I ordered finally arrived just a couple weeks ago. So now I have...

    Ya know, I've had the same experience with my two SS Hoppers lately... hard to describe the problem other than it just seemed "weak" and couldn't get any thick clouds, even on temp 5... so A few nights ago I ran an experiment and prepared both Hoppers identically, both with fresh GHB2s, and...

    Oh, yeah, I agree– I should have mentioned it is a metal toothpick. Or more accurately, a "martini pick." Nice. Another easy-to-find option would be a martini pick, aka "olive pick" or "cocktail pick" which is what I use. Can be found in many grocery/liquor stores and places like Target...

    Why not? I use a toothpick to knock loose the ABV in the chamber and also any little bits that get caught in the mouthpiece screen. Is there a reason I shouldn't do that?

    @vapviking , this line gave me a pretty big chuckle when I read it– thank you for the subtle perspective check. I find myself checking these FC threads more often than I check news sites, because I just can't bear to look. I can only muster so much angst, so for the timebeing, I've been...

    Those of us who received our Grasshoppers in this past week originally placed our orders back in February & March of 2016... if that gives you an idea... I hate to sound like a broken record, but... if you want to get a realistic estimated shipping date, do NOT go by what their website says...

    Received it today. What a frustrating (nearly) 10 months. This was the first Hopper I ordered, but is my second to own, since I ran out of patience a couple months ago and grabbed one from VapeFiend. Glad to finally have both Hoppers, and especially some extra batteries for the first time

    Well, my e-mail was rather passive aggressive too, and maybe it worked, because just a couple hours later I got my shipping confirmation too. (February 25 order date). E-mail came in at 7:27 PM Pacific. Original order date was February 25. I suppose I'm glad it's finally on its way, but ugh...

    I just sent off another e-mail to them asking for an update. I tried to be nice, but just couldn't... my message ended up dripping with snark & sarcasm. I'm going to be driving through Denver just before Christmas. If I don't have my order by then, I'm gonna take a short detour up to Boulder to...

    I beg to differ, Moondog... It's not as if there's no rhyme or reason to how/when Hopper Labs ships their pre-orders. They are shipping them out in the order they were received. The shipping poll thread allows those of us who are still waiting for their orders to compare notes (order dates and...

    How "realistic"? Did you ever see a movie called "The NeverEnding Story" about a boy who rides on the back of a fuzzy, talking "Luckdragon" named Falcor around the fantasy world called Fantasia? I'd say The NeverEnding Story is more realistic than 3-4 weeks shipping on new orders. I base this...

    Yup... they told me mine would ship as soon as they got the batteries... but still no shipping notice for me (February order) But I'm not surprised... this is par for the course for them. I expect to hear at least 17 more excuses and delays before I finally get my Grasshopper sometime around...

    No kidding... these obvious errors make me cringe. Maybe because it's part of my day job to make sure my company's official marketing doesn't have glaring mistakes like this.

    I refuse to let them get my hopes up yet again. They do this every month... I don't believe a goddamn word anymore. They told me I'd get my GH in April. Since then, nothing but excuses. These monthly updates only piss me off more. Until I am physically holding that thing in my actual hands, I...

    @Copacetic I did the same water test with mine! I was pleasantly surprised that it did so well. I eventually did get water in the chambers, but only by submerging for a longer time, and also moving it around. I want to try finding some small rubber gaskets that fit, and trying the water test...

    I'm assuming that when you say "last month" you mean October, because I've been told by Hopper Labs (either via e-mail or Twitter reply) more than once that they ran out of batteries around the end of Oct, and have not shipped any Grasshoppers or spare battery orders since then. C'mon dude...

    I haven't checked this thread in a few days, and I see there's been a lot of discussion re: shipping wait times... In my experience, you can take whatever GH Labs offers up as an "Estimated Shipping Date" as a worthless tidbit of information that has no connection at all to reality. With me...

    Yes, but remember that whenever GHLabs gives a timeframe estimate, you have to multiply it by 8.72 to get the real timeframe... so when they say they'll have them next week, they really mean they'll have them in about two and a half months Yeah, I should clarify that was just with the thing...
