Old & In the Way
If by chance you're referring to the glass adapter (the peformance front end), HL mentioned in recent update that they were nearly out of stock.They didn't have any of these glass tools on Grasshopper's website. They must be sold out.
Below is an option for a glass mouthpiece. Sorry to quote myself, it's just for the photo.
Fingers crossed for my first photo on FC!
Arizer glass mp in Hopper's silicone mp.
It's a very tight fit but works fine.
This is great and a real treat. Sorry I was a little down about your chances.Well just got home from work, swapped a fresh battery and to my surprise all is well again with my Hopper!
I still believe what you now have is an intermittent problem at best; planning for it's absence might help that time go smoother.
As I've mentioned recently, I think a lot has to do with managing expectations of reliability.
I see @Baron23 's disappointment rooted in his deep background in, well, perfecting things. All well and good, but in my case ignorance of a lot that is my bliss. Sure, I know what quality is and what dependability is (I am a designer and a maker of things), I just don't apply the highest standards known to man to my Hopper.
It's not that I roll over worried and defenseless in face of failed Hopper, I just acknowledge and move on, so far through 10 rma's with sparse drama. This has afforded me now 7 months of great Hopping, and my experience of it seems to keep getting better!
