    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    The only thing we are waiting on from China are plastic / mold related parts, everything else is machined and assembled in the US. Small-run injection molding is generally not feasible to manufacture here (in the US) because of the cost, I think the molding and tooling cost alone for the two...

    Sorry guys, we had some issues with mail chimp looks like most of you haven’t received the email. I will get it sorted out and another email sent out to everyone tomorrow.

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @abracadaver we are already in the works with the backup manufacturing so we will be ready for the worst case scenario, we should be hearing back in the next day or so but I am sure production is still behind over there regardless. I will be sending out an email on or about Wednesday for anyone...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @MoltenTiger I don't have the exact numbers offhand, but I have seen ~4A draw on the supply side with a Hopper purchased in late 2019.

    @MoltenTiger you should have more than enough power with 12v @ 5A on the supply side once the step down takes place.

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @marduk Yes there will. I should probably preface that by saying our 3d printed parts are not what most people are used to, we use an industrial grade SLS printer which turns out parts which most people would have a hard time distinguishing from an injection molded part with a matte finish.

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Just wanted to let everyone know we are still waiting on one of the components to arrive in quantity, namely the "dummy battery can" which unfortunately had to be manufactured in China and was promised to be delivered before the Chinese Holiday. We have an alternative solution in-place that...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @derosavapore I don't have the battery boards back yet, but they will have the same type of connection as the power adapter.

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Tonight I am testing the first somewhat final prototype, this is with 18" / 450mm of cable which I think should be enough for most users. If we need to go any longer we might have to boost the power supply a notch to account for the voltage drop.

    I think this will be our first option other than the default Black, have some Blues and Purples and Greys coming in a few days. Carbon 51:

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @Hammahead yes, the devices will carry all of the relevant certifications and markings for sale. The overseas customers may have to wait an extra week or two depending on how busy our compliance testing facility is. @Abysmal Vapor CE requirements for a device like this don't actually require...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @Terpenetime we dont want the default lead to be too long as it essentially becomes part of the device when the dummy battery is installed. Some people will be using this witn an external 18650 and might not want a meter long whip attached. As @MoltenTiger mentioned, there is 5ft (150cm) of...

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    @Djsleepy thanks, it wasn't locked but when I opened the app it forced me to update the software and now everything works properly again.

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    Just pulled the Ghost out for the first time in a few weeks, freshly charged battery off the fast charger. Getting 3 red blinking lights and a bunch of vibes, guess its time for warranty service? Any suggested home remedies?

    @MoltenTiger the brick will have a IEC 60320 so you just need a regular computer plug with the Aus end. Will try to get some more complete photos and a video up this week if possible.

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    @Davideus it would be difficult to fit the current design inside the hopper body, the inductors required for the power conversion would just barely fit, but perhaps if we rework the design in a future revision it is possible with some planning. Most of the design decisions in the current...
