    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    "Grasshopper Labs- spurring bitter internet arguments since 2013." See, I just saved them ANOTHER $52,000- now they don't need to hire a marketing person.

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    My prediction is that some preorders will get ADDRESS CONFIRMATIONS by the end of the month. That gets people off their back and lets them pretend their estimate was correct, with exactly zero commitment on their part, and is par for the course, looking at their history. I hope for...

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    They could just read your post and save 52K. Because it's just common sense stuff. But why would they need to hire someone just to tell them the obvious? People keep saying how they are great engineers but lousy business people. Which may be true in a sense, but it's not like it takes an MBA...

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    You have no way of knowing that. Companies go bankrupt all the time. Whoops, the money's all spent! For all we know, the power company is coming Monday to shut of their electricity, and their new machines are being repossesed due to non payment. I don't think that's going to happen, but...

    I don't see any policies being changed here (but what do I know?), but AFAIK people are allowed to post factual personal experiences, even if they happen to reflect poorly on a manufacturer.

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    Fair point about estimate vs. promise. I still don't believe many of their estimates have been made in good faith however. And if they have "tactically misled" people, then I think they DO deserve to work as hard as they have to- they owe it to the people they have misled. They voluntarily put...

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    Who gives a shit? Anyone who has given them money or ever plans to. Anyone who has ever sent them an email that they took a week to reply to, or just blew off entirely. Anyone who has ever had to use their lifetime warranty. Etc. etc.... Also, stop saying "we don't know how hard it is". We...

    They don't exist. You'd think it was a pretty simple thing, compared to the vape itself. They mentioned months ago that their design wasn't working out, I think it was causing scratches on the vape so they needed to redesign it. Did you order it a long time ago? They shouldn't be taking money...

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    Now I feel lucky my replacement body only took 2 weeks to arrive. A month is pretty bad, but then on top of that the lying and lack of response is really bothersome. Seems like even a quick email saying sorry, we goofed, or whatever, would go a long way. If you tell a customer straight up...

    How Grasshopper Labs should run their company

    We are talking about a total of 100 GH here. That should have neglible effects on anyone getting a preorder. That's either one day's worth of production, or maybe 4 days, depending on which information supplied by GHL you want to use. I guess another possibility is that they accepted some...

    At least my waking-life GH is intact and functional!

    Just in case anyone is so defensive as to miss the word "dream" two times that they actually need a separate disclaimer....there you go!

    I actually had a dream last night that a so-called friend borrowed my GH, didn't screw the mouthpiece on all the way, and let it roll off the table (it was a dream, that can't happen because of the clip), then rolled across the floor. Ran after it, and first was impressed that there were no...

    I'm not experiencing anything like that. Maybe because I only put in enough for a hit or two? For me, it's basically like using a combusting one hitter bat type thing. But without the combustion. My stash is pretty dry and powdery. It definitely gloms up on to the top screen, but not enough to...

    Yeah, I had to resort to the Solo while I was waiting. Never really loved it, but as a replacement for the GH, loved it even less!
