Discontinued The Grasshopper

[Vapetrees]

@osolx26 Yep, that's why I asked. It fits better in my bubbler without the adapter too but I do care about it scratching.

@Carl Hempel Thanks for the reply. Mine has become my daily too and like i mentioned I don't want to risk scratching it. I would like to use that glass j hook as it would remind me of using my solo stems.

Can confirm that the Hopper works beautifully with the Lotus J-Hook

Try putting a little water in the J-Hook so that it settles & bubbles in the hooked lower bend... COOOOOL!

I just take my mini short glass stem I use with my MFLB. It fits perfectly in the rubber mouthpiece and is very stable. Because it's so small and light.

Never would have thought it and I have everything to try it, easy mod! Thanks

It works great give it a try. I also think it's easier to draw off of.

this forum can be a pain in da arsse when it comes to picture adding it should be as simple as copy/paste URL after hitting that 'Image' button.

Thanks I couldn't figure it out. To many pulls on the hopper lol.

That's great. It means I will be able to use my hopper with my MFLB 1ft draw whip.

Yes you can pretty much use any of the MFLB accessories with the gh when you use the glass stem in the mouthpiece.

No problem, you just have to find the direct link to the image and sometimes it's tricky. I like to use Imgur, it gives you the link and you don't need to search it

I agree with b0. In this particular case, @Eleaf420 was using a url for Microsoft OneDrive's website that had the image imbedded on the page. What we want is the direct link url. Usually you can get the direct link url by right-clicking on the image, and copying the image location. Then paste the copied url into the image tags on FC and you're golden. The OneDrive website has this disabled unfortunately, so you need to click on "View Original" in order to display the image url. Once you have the source image URL it's just a copypasta into FC in order to display the image correctly.

It's not that difficult, really. Some image hosting sites do make it more difficult than others however. For this reason I too recommend imgur.

@Eleaf420 where you got that short steam?

 

[Eleaf420]

@Eleaf420 where you got that short steam?

I think I got it with a whip kit I bought for my MFLB.

and thank you for this great idea @Eleaf420 ! only one question, is that silicone mouthpiece tight enough on Hopper's body to hold that stem? and what would happen if cutting bigger hole in that tip for using Arizer stems? do you think it would hold a bit heavier glass?

It holds it super tight. I actually wet my stem a little to twist it in to the rubber mouthpiece. It seals perfectly and sits very sturdy. As far as cutting the mouthpiece piece to fit a larger stem I wouldn't recommend it. It will be to big and heavy and not stay in as secure.

Paypal purchase protection is good only for 180 days. I pre-ordered in September. How should I proceed? File a dispute? I want my hopper, but not lose Paypal purchase protection

Placed an order for a Ti GH last week from Hopper Labs. Was tempted by Vapefiend (excellent experience with them back in January for a Crafty + some extras), but seeing as I'd have to pay import tax (I'm in Europe, but not in the EU), just a tad too expensive.

Fingers crossed that the GH really will ship in April!

@BuzzDanklin
Loved the video review of the GH, thanks for that

I'd probably want to see a picture of the burnt unit before I completely believed their post.
Maybe it's the optimist in me.

I guess another reason to use external chargers.

 

[GreenHopper]

I'm completely with you on that.

Even if it is a genuine example of a battery combusting that doesn't mean there is an inherent fault with the product. It's just a one off example at the moment.

I'm going to be cautious with the hoppers battery like I am with all my batteries from all my products.

Edit: for clarification cautious means not leaving any batteries on charge when I'm out or sleeping.

exactly! there are many Hopper haters out there and devastated competition who would use any means to hurt Hopper's reputation. don't believe with picture ether. you can put a thing in da fireplace and make it look burned.

I don't think it's a disingenuous report but neither am I jumping (hopping?) to hysterical conclusions about an inherent fault.

It's so far an isolated case with no detailed information relating to cause.

I'd want to know the conditions of the battery before its venting:

Was it damaged before use?

Did it get wet?

Was it dropped?

Was it charged using a non UL certified charger?

Is there a fault with this particular hoppers backend charging circuit?

Is it a fault with that particular battery?

There are way too many reasons that this is a one off so I'm not too concerned at this stage.

Infact I just ordered another hopper for a friends Birthday. I'm confident enough in this product to give it as a gift.
