Dude
At this point I am stunned by the fact that some people take their updates seriously.
Where is that guy who loves them and drops by their factory?

Back to report with the Spare Body that I purchased to solve my heat problem.
And yes, it instantly better. I cranked it to 5 and nearly combusted the bowl because I had it on for too long. It milked the bong instantly and it was the hardest hit I have ever taken. It was amazing. There is no doubt that there are few things in comparison to a working Hopper. I am hoping that it lasts, because this thing is amazing.
The hopper project deserves to exist
The July-August update was all over the place - cautiously optimistic in some areas, not terribly encouraging in others and, overall, cryptic at best. You need to be a fly on the wall to truly understand what's going on there, or lack thereof. However, I still love my Hopper as it gets closer to be sent in for RMA. Ugh.At this point I am stunned by the fact that some people take their updates seriously.

First try of my returned hoppers and the first one combusted my herb on the third toke. I started at 3.5, had one at 4 with noticeably too much vape spilling out of the holes and then at 5 it instantly incinerated my load in a flash. It's scary when it happens.
When this happened to me before it didn't matter if I turned it down to 2, if would do this at ANY temp. At this time I don't feel comfortable using or testing it any further.
I still have one more hopper that I'm about to try out and I think if I get good clouds at 4 I won't turn it up any higher and see if that makes any difference. At this point I want a REPLACEMENT.
I have the worst headache and taste in my mouth now.
Yes, it did get insanely hot. Both of my hoppers did it before which had them in rma hell for months, got them back and they were running really cold, like not useable cold and so I sent them back again for a little over a month only to get them back with the one doing this on the FIRST load. I sent them the pics and said I expect a replacement. Even if it's just the body if that's the problem. They've had enough chances to "fix" it and it's dangerous the way it is.Did your unit get insanely hot? That’s what happened to me. I couldn’t use it anymore. Sent it back. They told me 3 months to get it back. I wrote. A long note. They didn’t respond. Lol

Very fair. But why not both. I'm high as shit now thanks to my pen bought retail.This is were our views differ, my friend.
I look at it as a retail product, not a project or engineering initiative.
Peace.
That’s how it seems to me. I certainly haven’t seen another portable vape that is as fast, efficient and portable as the grasshopper - besides the mflb honestly. But that has its own cons and I still not as stealthy because it doesn’t look like a regular pen.Very fair. But why not both. I'm high as shit now thanks to my pen bought retail.
It's a very nice vape. Certainly happy with it beyond most I've got, had or tried. Especially when I'm across state. It's not been out that long, HL might as well stick around until some other people tackle a similar product. I doubt they'll have an easier time. All the recent portable vape launches have sounded iffy to me, and they're not even close to a viable alternative on their best day to a hopper.
It's the best retail product in its category, but indeed that means nothing. In terms of a weed device for a frequent habit, it's done me extremely well. Current RMA status is terrible - but only because the product has potential
Yep. And that there is the rub. Having a working hopper. For me it’s been the two month tease almost constantly since I got my original early bird SS and Ti. Works for a few months then off for RMA. Even two down at once several times.That’s how it seems to me. I certainly haven’t seen another portable vape that is as fast, efficient and portable as the grasshopper - besides the mflb honestly.

Owner of 6 different vapes and most are redundant. The grasshopper is where it’s at, in my opinion. I’d happily get rid of most all my vapes for a working hopper.

This is what I've finally settled on unfortunately. It's definitely not the best because it doesn't fuckin work lol.The problem is, it can’t be the best if it never works. I’ll take second best if it works reliably all the time.
Well. The spare body I ordered came. And it was fantastic. Until today when randomly I just get a quick red blip and then it turns off.
When it works. It is the hardest hitting vape ever. But I’m kind of sad that I can’t get a functioning one. Just like everyone else I guess.
