@Ed's TnT made me an awesome extension for my PFE. Fits perfect. Looks great! I'm loving it.
That was another fun piece to make bro, thanks for the work! I really enjoy the Blackwood, hoping you do as well. You gotta admit the feel and finish of it are so sleek, I love it. Being so dense and solid you should never have any trouble with it. Pls keep me updated on how it performs and thanks again!
Functioning exactly as hoped. It is just enough to cool the vapor a bit and get my lips away from the hot metal. Short enough that is easy to use and put away.That was another fun piece to make bro, thanks for the work! I really enjoy the Blackwood, hoping you do as well.

@Ed's TnT ... I would really like a couple of these!!!Functioning exactly as hoped. It is just enough to cool the vapor a bit and get my lips away from the hot metal. Short enough that is easy to use and put away.
Yep you have arrived!
@Ed's TnT looking fantastic like usual, that extra inch or more does so much for the hopper

Hope everything is cool bud. Got a message from hopper labs telling me they have shut down all production and warranty etc whilst they implement new protocols to slow down breaks etc. They can't even provide me a date or guess when I will see my hopper again lol
So a friend of mine had to send his hopper in for RMA 3 weeks ago.
It's an SS model that lasted about a year but eventually went straight to blue.
He just sent me the below text:
Luckily I gave him one of my spare Ti's so he's still hopping through Christmas.
Anyone else able to corroborate this Intel?
Hope you all had a great Crimbo and are hopping through to the new year.
My RMA was delivered to HL 12/13, they checked it in on 12/19 and I got a similar message.
I was ready to post and ask if anyone had gotten an RMA unit back since this started.....I'm guessing it may be a while.
The wait will be well worth it if things improve. Hell, I'll take one for the team, they can keep mine for 3 months if it truly improves RMA needs.Sorry to hear your hopper is held up as well bud.
But this could be a good thing maybe? I mean it sounds like HL are taking measures to improve the situation.
I just hope it doesn't take too long.
I think simply a more resilient heater assembly would make things better ... and a back-end that doesn't eventually fail ... (I'm hoping, and have heard through the grapevine, the heater issues might finally be fixed ... I'm hopeful, but we'll see ...)I surprised if something radical is going to change unless they are going to be inventing some new types of alloy and solve the "debris and oils in heater/sensor" issue through intense engineering the next days/weeks
we are heading into madness with the power of this thing x size x room for utilities and expecting it to be solved through software
*utilities being cooling through thermal dissipation of vapor and device while in active use
or at least I think so ... BUT each of my hopper has been more of a beast
so something has been fixed
but its overheating and running on "beast mode" all the time ... never burned myself on hopper before but its nearly worth it for that power
might be the first hopper owner that blows his face off with a hopper lithium battery inside a ... scorching hot metal tube
I still love it so hard
Sounds pretty good to me, I mean my last few services have been basically repeat issues in quick succession. I'm not interested in more of the same. I am happy to wait, especially if what they deliver is noticeably better.Your Hopper has arrived at The Lab!
Your unit is in the service department queue. We are implementing new testing protocols and bringing more processes in-house for increased quality control. We expect service to be slower than normal during this period if you have a heater or temp sensor issue. However, your Hopper will be returned with new and improved parts.
We are executing this upgrade now in an effort to provide better service and ensure the reliability of all devices. We will send you another update message soon!

Interesting, my friends bronze hopper might have this issue.Glad to hear that someone is finally in the same boat with this issue. Up to know I was the only one who has reported about that (2x). Seems to be the failure of one batch of hoppers. Feel with you, poor @Hjalmark
Never ending upheating makes the hopper REALLY hot...
