Doing Touch and Go's these days here... Nice to see everyone is being civil!
Uh, guys, why does this "zenpen the dream" thing look just like a Hopper? I mean, if I was HL I'd be quite upset. This frame from the posted video is pretty cool, looks like what would be inside a Hopper, too.
Edit: speaking of inconsistent, I've had times where a hopper will perform like you mention (improperly but adequately) where after leaving it sometime (eg. overnight until the next session) it seems to have 'reset' and works properly (especially noticeable with AVB colour which ranges from tan brown when it's working improperly to near black when it's normal at the same temp level).
What kind of ambient temp are you toking in
@JCat?
@GreenHopper that sums it up quite impeccably!!
Both of your current concerns are bang on, and reflect how I feel, but I would add DOA to the immediate Re-RMAing as well. The thing is, and has been reported on other forums - is that they all work
differently. Something changes in the calibration, or as
@JCat noted his works better on 4 than 5, that's completely unacceptable. And I really think alot of owners that think their GH's work fine, don't... perhaps they may be lower temp vaporists, or who knows but some of us know what a REAL GH works like, and some of us (myself included) have provided stellar videos of this. Would be nice to see some more videos in this thread, as well as participation. Mostly lurkers.
Right on, to all of you here (
@GreenHopper , you too!)...
The insight is that these things are temperamental beasts and there seems to be no calibration standard at the QA point of HL's production. That just is my
feeling, so don't nobody go and thrash me for shit I don't know.
I have two Ti's, and one of them is a beast, and the other is more timid by at least one hash mark on the Temp dial.
I'm living with it. When (not if) they get worse or fail, I'll deal. Firewire 4 at the ready.
I'm kind of done with my fanaticism about the Hopper. Yes, I would recommend it for anyone who digs big clouds and fast hits, along with the caveat about its finicky nature (I gifted one to my nephew on Xmas and he got too frustrated to deal so it's probably sitting in a drawer). I would be honest and say that if I had one, I'd be nervous.
Perhaps, though, the real reason is that I've leveled on how, when, and how much I vape. Both the Hopper and the FW4 take care of my VAS quite nicely.
Check that... I mean, TWO Hoppers and the FW4.
You think you're gonna stink up my pocket anymore??
The little magic flight dude has a thing or two to say about that!
