    No, there is no spring.

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I did. When I backed, I ordered an extra battery. When I became reasonably sure that the Hopper was really going to ship, I added two more. Then, when there was a rash of "I canceled my pre-order, and here's why you should, too!" posts, I ordered four more, just in case the haters were...

    I have the Bronze, so that might have something to do with it.

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    No offense, but if it were me, I'd want my own translation. Reminds me of the old Monty Python routine on the Naughty Phrase Book. You wouldn't want to find out that something was translated as "The Grasshopper is the first vaporizer designed for anal use. To use, click the button, wait for...

    I was a November 29th backer - I've had mine for two weeks.

    One more point that I left out of my previous post. People have commented on the back end getting hot. I have noticed this, but I don't think that it's necessarily a bad sign, especially not a sign of a short circuit. My experience is that the back end heats up during the draw and cools...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I just posted this on Reddit: Last Monday I received a small. discreet, plain brown package from Hopper Labs. It contained a bronze titanium hopper, serial number GT000079. Has my life changed? A little. Mainly, I'm no longer obsessed, checking my email and coming here two and three times a...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    It arrived on Monday. I was a November 29, 2013 backer - first SS then upgraded to Bronze TI. The unit seems perfect so far - no scratches or dings, few second warm up. It seems very efficient and definitely medicates faster than my old iolite conduction vape. I don't find the vapor too harsh...

    Actually what he said was that Trevor told him that backers couldn't get refunds, so he sent him back the amount he backed, but didn't cancel his Grasshopper order. Something to think about the next time you read a post about what dishonest scum they are. I certainly understand that people are...

    I upgraded from SS to colored TI by emailing Trevor. He sent me a Paypal invoice for the difference and upgraded me after I paid it. I didn't lose my place in line - I got my address confirmation email on August 14th.

    Could you post a photo when you get it? I'm waiting on a bronze and I'd like to see a user photo. Thanks in advance.
