That charger looks much nicer and more robust than the old one. I still haven't used either of my V1 chargers yet.
Has more gunk (TiO2 from high energy arcing across the tiny air gap in the threads) built up causing the end to heat up again?Grasshopper started consistently doing the dead battery lights on the first hit of a fresh battery and other random times but I'm pretty sure I figured out what it is this time. Amazing that Caroline or someone else at Hopper Labs who tested my Hopper didn't catch this or suggest that it might be an issue.
Threads were SUPER dirty.After cleaning it seems to be functioning better all around and hasn't given a false dead battery signal yet.
Spoke too soon. Still giving flashing lights early but doesn't seem to actually go red like it was.
I'm still wondering why, on a Ti of any color, the clip ring is SS.Thanks for the replies. I was afraid of that. Part of me is wondering if I should change my Ti order to a colored one but I really didn't want to deal with the scratching/degradation of the finish.
Well on reddit there are a lot of posts about how electric conductive grease on the threads helps with the backend heat. Well, from my electronic knowledge it shouldn't be requiered because the threads already have such a big surface area so there shouldn't be a lot of resistance. However after cleaning I put a little graphite (tiny amount, don't wanna inhale it; note there are food safe alternatives) on the threads. So my GH never had a backend heat problem in first place, other than getting warm when ripping on 5 or over doing it, when the battery is about to die and when the threads get dirty. With the graphite on the threads it seems to stay like it was fresh cleaned everytime.
btw, do you guys know if you get a notification that your backshipped faulty part arrived at GHlabs?
"The Grasshopper is really good so they don't have to treat their customers like a normal company would."
is basically what you just said. I disagree.
Man I couldn't be more tired of people defending this company just because the product is good or because they're a "start-up." They have bad business practices and it's that simple regardless of who they are or what they sell.
What conductive grease(s) are food safe? I've looked at several of these conductive grease products and none that I have yet seen appear to be something that I'd like to be inhaling. Your help appreciated.
just so you know the vapecritic is a highly biased reviewer. He bashes the grasshopper meanwhile praises garbo products such as kandyvapes and gpen. it's really unforunate. what the peeps at ghlabs have created is phenomenal. although granted many people are having warranty issues, they are going out of their way to correct any problems.So my first impressions of the grasshopper are pretty much on par with Vape critics. It definitely serves its purpose for situations when I need to get medicated quick. But I do fear the hot vapor it produces. My temporary solution is to stick my arizer glass stem on to the silicone mouthpiece and suck from the glass stem. Actually works! Makes the vapor tolerable and airflow is fine! Seems slightly more practical than putting a crafty mouthpiece on there except there's no tight seal and have to hold it in to place.
Yes but can any of you honestly say without water filtration that the vapor is really tolerable? I was sure everyone was exaggerating but its really too hot and unpleasant. Granted this is my first day with it so will need more testing..just so you know the vapecritic is a highly biased reviewer.

I'd recommend an MFLB stem used in the silicone MP for hands free cooling like this.So my first impressions of the grasshopper are pretty much on par with Vape critics.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Vape Critic. Although I didn't agree with his review of the gh, I generally find him very reliable. He's a guy with LOTS of vaping experience. And I think he pretty clearly distinguishes top tier vapes from other levels. With many lower end vapes, there can and (I think) should be some that are better than others. So I don't have a problem with him liking some that are less expensive.just so you know the vapecritic is a highly biased reviewer.

Yeah I'm with you Mr. Me2, initially there was a lot of unneeded heat around his GH review, and whilst I don't necessarily share his opinion he mentioned all his reasoning and I think it's reasonable for him to not be stoked with the GH. Hating on the clip and disproportionately spending time nitpicking non-functional aspects just snowballed his criticisms into an ugly picture. My pen paints me masterpieces, I guess many others do too, so there was a bit of backlash (enough he edited). But honestly, he nails every negative thing with the hopper, it's good to have that out in the open. Us consumers are still interested in new devices that break the current standards. Plenty of breathing room still.I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Vape Critic. Although I didn't agree with his review of the gh, I generally find him very reliable.

Boy, I hope this doesn't open up a can of worms....
At least 90% of my usage is at temp 4, dry, with no silicone mouthpiece. Completely native.Yes but can any of you honestly say without water filtration that the vapor is really tolerable?
have you seen his kandypen reviews? apart from the review have you seen the various posts that highlight just how scammy kandypens are? like all users who purchase their first vaporizers, they want to make a good choice. not buy one and than buy another one cause the original purchase was not up to par. Kandypens, as-well as g-pens have somewhat found their foot in the door of the booming greenrush(especially Hightimes) and that's because they are constantly being advertised and pushed on the consumer. If you can compare the gh review video to the kandypen review video, a new, not-experienced user will go with the kandypen just based on vapecritics intonation and how cheerful he sounds reviewing one video compared to the other.I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Vape Critic.

And to @Mrbrown81k, what temp setting are you using? For me, I haven't found the gh too hot. And although I don't find its flavor on par with the Crafty, I like it just fine and always use it natively. I'm generally around 3 and rarely step up. Have you tried a lower temperature?
While I often do use a water tool at home with my GH for a just before bedtime session, I also use it native and have had the opportunity to travel with it a few times and use it on the road natively.At least 90% of my usage is at temp 4, dry, with no silicone mouthpiece. Completely native.
The vapor is easily tolerable to me. Sometimes if I'm holding the Grasshopper at a weird angle the vapor hits my gums or the roof of my mouth and it is very hot. But under normal usage I don't find the vapor uncomfortable, even at temp 5. It is definitely potent and robust.
What I call robust may be harsh to others, I understand that.
I haven't combusted in over a year, but I did combust for many many years so I am used to harsh smoke. I do like a little bite to my vapor, but not too much. Honestly I was expecting the hopper to be harsher.
I've seen a whole bunch of his vids, sure he praises some crap products but he still offers a decent review. He's seemingly bias, that's most of YouTube, have a listen to Lewie from Unbox therapy on Joe Rogans podcast for a bit of insight to the YouTube marketing circus.have you seen his kandypen reviews? apart from the review have you seen the various posts that highlight just how scammy kandypens are? like all users who purchase their first vaporizers, they want to make a good choice. not buy one and than buy another one cause the original purchase was not up to par.

I never use mine any way but natively on 5. Don't find it untolerable in the slightest, it could be significantly warmer and I wouldn't be botheredYes but can any of you honestly say without water filtration that the vapor is really tolerable?

I use it dry on 5 all the time. I take dabs with it dry.

Precisely. The enjoyment revolves around the after effect from the application, not so much the application itself. I want to get blasted without tearing my lungs up. It's a big perc that the hopper goes beyond the call of duty in that respect, although sometimes I question the health benefits with such luscious vapour. But being able to stay comfortably active and a lack of coughing up death is a big improvement to my previous combusting solutions, whilst making no sacrifices.While I often do use a water tool at home with my GH for a just before bedtime session, I also use it native and have had the opportunity to travel with it a few times and use it on the road natively.
Not cool and tasty, but I wouldn't vape MJ just for the taste....I'm in it for the effects which the GH delivers quite well. I find that for me, in native mode with silicon MP, that the GH is indeed usable without a water tool.
