Reading through all this has provided some interesting thoughts.
I think if I was an employee at HL, I wouldn't even bother sending Reps into the forums yet at all. I would zip my lip and just start sending out working products. Then when they can show they have done something, then start sending people in to talk about and answer questions on how they already resolved different issues, not how they plan to resolve, but what they already did. It starts the conversation on the foot of, we didn't do a great job, but we are improving, and here is how. Rather than trying to make promises that we have to take at face value.
For me, I have a number of vapes to fall back on. But nothing checks all my boxes like a Hopper does, so I have one of their most current. Everyone probably thinks this is foolish, but I think the new design is fantastic and it might be the winner we are all looking for. So far I ran my TI Hopper HARD, especially this weekend. I went through like 20 bowls in it, most of them at 4.5 or 5 through water and would charge after each sesh. The thing is still doing fine, and cooking bowls perfectly to a dark brown providing a lot of hits and a solid high each time. (water >4 and native at 3).
So when I was blitzed out of my mind and I got the email about the 420 packages with the extras and what not with the SS unit. Yeah I bought one. Woke up the next morning a little surprised why I did that, but I'm gonna stick to it. I figure then I have two units and I can see if they are as reliable as they claim they are now. More test units I guess. And in the event one fails, I have something to fall back on.
Thankfully I'm in a position to be able to do this, but I understand that most people aren't. And in that case, yes I wouldn't recommend a Hopper.
Anyways I guess what I'm saying is. Despite their past, I've decided to throw myself on the sword and see if they are living up to their word.
