I think once GH mature, and it's seeming like they have a chance to considering their ability to keep at it all these years, their design should hold up. I think they are currently let down by size of production and experience of workers (not just US side, but outsourced manufacturers are dealing with the same demand).
They certainly have all the equipment needed for good service and acceptable quality assurance, I'm hopeful they pull it together.
It'll be fun to see what happens, but I know whatever I replace my hoppers with will either be a bic and bowl (unlikely) or a VapeXhale portable, pax 3 or some other new-fangled unreleased device. Nothing out there quite compares just yet.
My EQ will keep on rocking endlessly, I just need a next tier vape as immortal

Edit: although to be fair I usually have low grade herb without a really strong smell
That is certainly true, but the Hopper has the benefit of having the herb nearly in a pretty tight seal in the mouthpiece, with two fine screens at either end. I carry mine around constantly clipped to my shirt, eat at restaurants, sit at bars, no one notices or smells anything...Ha...this makes me laugh. I got yelled at the last time I made this comment...but I'll make it again. Weed smells like weed. Weed vapor smells like weed. The GH does not have a magic spell upon which it makes weed smell like cinammon, poop, or roses.
I find that the GH smells considerably less than my Pax 1 did when half cooked. That said...expect a half vaped bowl to smell like....well....(clearing my throat).....a half vaped bowl!

My pax on the other hand, you can smell that thing from two yards away.
Since having my first new Dark Grey body replaced two weeks ago, I've been very happy with my unit; Now that I absolutely know that the driest flower is the best flower, I'm getting what I've been wanting - Consistency!
Yup. Actually I have a great 3D airtight case that perfectly fits my Pax2; t only reeks when I take it out, but yep, it reeks.Agreed. There is no comparison between the GH and the Pax2. The GH is like your dog several days after a bath. The Pax2 is like your dog after they've rolled in something. I thought I had a good hiding place for the Pax2 but it reeked so I had to find a place that was more remote
Haven't paid a lot of attention to the RBT lineup since I'm giving my Hopper a chance to fail entirely before I get anything new, but in the course of viewing things on reddit randomly I've seen lots of people complaining about how the company owner has been, uhh, shall we say difficult towards prospective customers, and I've seen some pictures of fucked up internals, and heard that they came that way enough to be a significant problem. Though I maybe also heard some of that has been addressed? Can't remember. That's all anecdotal of course, but it's been enough static for me to hold off on ordering one as yet
Yeah, never expect perfection. For me the GH is really close, as long as it's working.I don't know if I can fault a company for not offering perfection, per se; But I fault them for their unappealing customer interface. OK, maybe they have Facebook (I don't use FB, I prefer to call it AssBook), but I'm talking about the way you just don't feel like you're the most important thing to them.
To be fair, though, and to your point, Molten, If they came out with a flawless device and there was hardly a need for repair issues, then they don't "need" an appealing customer interface. We'd all be happy with if GHL was nothing more than a vending machine for great working Hoppers. Alas....
This is actually a very attractive thought.... I've always loved my Paxes because they were reliable and reliable. And reliable. And they played with us here on FC, helped us, informed us. They paid attention.
I take great pleasure in imagining the boys and girls at Pax learning all about the shit GHL has put people through, whilst working on their own convection vape, and I don't give a shit if it doesn't look like a pen; if it's stealthy and sweet and kicks ass, the Hopper will wind up in the drawer. And not because it's just better, but because I prefer the company.
It's just a dream.
Mine acted funky and then started working. And then I got the police lights of death (about a week later). I hope that doesn't happen to you, but information is power.I've been able to get consistently good hits from my units. Hard to say at this point if I'll need to warranty them, it's pretty strange and totally disconcerting knowing that they've both stopped working now. The hoppers do put a great spin on the high, which I am thoroughly enjoying. I might consider sending one away for testing, but more than likely I'll keep using them until warranty is a necessity like before.
They work so well, when they do, I am completely uninterested in anything else. Except perhaps an identical vape with certified reliability, though as long as the warranty holds up... fairly content being a hopper-head
From making my warranty claim to having the replacement part in hand took 5 days for me. And I'm on the east coastHow long do you have to wait when you send your Hoppers for RMA ?
How long does it take the hopper to load full from a usb powerbank ?
Yeah I'm expecting something like this to happen, though haven't had any weird performances like last time with cop lights, just the one time they didn't want to work. Only one fault was valid on their flow chart so who knows what was up with my plain Ti.Mine acted funky and then started working. And then I got the police lights of death (about a week later). I hope that doesn't happen to you, but information is power.
And on the bright side, ghl warranty was easy, painless (except for missing my gh) and super fast.

Got a used Hopper on the way from a good FC friend! Haven't been this excited since...well, my last vape purchase! The mid-shipment high you get knowing something is on the way, oh boy.
Both my vapes right now are manual, but my last vapes were regulated and I very much miss it. Can't wait to get the regulation back through the GH. Super excited to explore the lower temps, going to be much nicer when I'm out at the coffee shop I go to. I'll get some pictures of it casually hanging out with me...Hope you guys like pictures, I tend to take quite a few with a nice narrative, haha. Look forward to hanging out with y'all.
I do like temp 4 a lot, my hopper is set there 90% of the time. I notice flavor drops off much more quickly at 4.5 and higher, and ends up more roasted tasting, which I don't like.Somebody likes temp 4...
Bad ass.Initial impressions of the GHB2's is wow!
I was able to squeeze one more bowl out of my first, just received batch of batteries.
First battery was pre charged by GHL and read full on my charger but was at 4.15v.
I found myself placing another order for 5 more batteries before I was thru with the first bowl.
My Ti unit seemed to have a kick in the ass!
Or maybe just more of a consistent kick in the ass!
Hopefully this isn't a one off 'A' grade battery, and we're actually seeing GHL's first successful v-2 of something.
