    Those dates don't mean shit. So where's the Feb 1 update? Oh, never mind, those don't mean shit either....

    I think I'm going to take photos of mine before returning it to them. When they finally respond to my warranty claim. And hell yes you should tell them- I don't think I'd ask for compensation either, but I'd give them an earful about it. Guess there is no way to know if it's even the same body...

    Interesting- I only used mine at 4, and like I say, backend never even got warm, much less nearly as hot as the mouthpiece, even when doing 2 hits in a row. Don't mean to freak you out. Mine broke with no symptoms whatsoever. So that's reassuring, right? :cool:

    Personally, it just reinforces that people's anecdotes are not very relevant. To me. No one here has any idea of the actual failure rates of any of these devices, because all of the information depends on someone bothering to come and post "mine broke three times" or "mine has never given me...

    Does the back end only heat up if you continually use it for a while? Just curious, mine never got even warm (before the thing broke), but I usually clicked off after every hit.

    I couldn't care less how it compares to other things- just as bad as some other products is not a very strong argument...

    The short time I was able to use mine, I thought it was awesome. The question is do you want to invest in something that you may need to send back (and wait weeks at a time, each time) 2,3,4 even 5 times?

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I know it's kind of pointless to quibble about wording, but I think pretty much anyone would have to agree that claiming "Over the last couple of months we’ve gone from shipping just a few units per day to over 100" strongly implies that they would be doing that amount consistently and...

    Again, what is the practical difference? It takes 75 minutes of work to assemble one, whether they are timing from start to finish for a single one, or adding up the time taken for all the steps performed, even if they are working on multiple ones in parallel. The "75 minutes" comes straight...

    Exactly- I don't see the difference in practical terms.

    They've not only come out with a revolutionary portable vape technology, they've upset the fundamental concepts of basic mathematics!!!

    At least mine wasn't DOA like some people's. Though maybe I wish it had been, so I wouldn't have known how great they can be when they actually work. Thanks for the sentiment though. Still no word about my warranty claim, really hope to hear something after the weekend.

    Can someone explain how they can possibly build 100 a day with 3 people doing assembly? Or even with all six employees doing assembly exclusively, for 8 hours a day?

    Two weeks ago today. (And it kept working for about the first ten days, details a couple of pages back.)

    Mine most definitely has a spring behind the contact. It is totally obvious when you push hard on it. I'm not going to bother with a picture because it is inside of the backend where you can't see it. And I'm not going to make a video, cause why the fuck would I? (Edit- just like the post...

    Maybe they finally smashed that last bug the day after they built mine. Suuuure.....

    Yeah, there is. Push hard on the round copper contact, it does go in and you can feel the spring push it back.

    I stand corrected- I didn't push on it hard enough.
