    I have had that little crackly but one or two times - and it was always after a cleaning... perhaps didn't let it dry enough on the inside screen. But yeah, it gets your attention alright!

    The SN is 006189. While the dial is still nice and smooth, there is a tiny bit of play in the "lateral" (as opposed to "turning") directions. At any point along the perimeter of the dial, pushing the dial in toward the center clicker produces an inaudible "click" feeling. VERY slight, but...

    Well, it's a new backend on the Hopper I'm having that issue with, so I dunno.

    Once again, thanks.. A A few days ago I was going to post something about the double-click thing; totally forgot til you mentioned it again... So, like @biohacker I've also had this weirdness going on, seemingly pretty consistently (>50% of the time). Well, just the other day, and now it's...

    Molten, you're a wealth of helpful info, thanks! I'm assuming that PBW would be added to "hot" water for the cleanings? Bio, I'd missed a couple of pages of posts over the past week, but from what I've gleaned, the "seeing smoke before/upon blue lights" had launched a discussion about...

    Thank you, @Baron23 and @tubasco ; both, very helpful. OK I did find that function to set the rate lower; whether I'll use it is TBD, but good to know now. Yes, and by putting >3 batteries at a time, I can at least be certain I'm at 375. It's for that "topping" the charge (re that "trailing...

    Well this is concerning! Just what I need, spend more fucking money. OK, then, let's say its either 150mA or: OK, @Icon13 and @tubasco , assuming the charger is "safe for batteries when used as directed" This is from the D4 Manual: Note: When the D4 is charging three or four batteries...

    Well that's one hell of a thorough answer, Molten, thank you! So it seems first off that leaving these batteries in their slots after fully charged isn't a good practice. Generally I don't, as I take them off together once they're done. So then the solution is to anticipate the next battery...

    Hi Kuda... I have the Hopper and I got the FW4 about a month ago. I love both, but based on your post, I feel I may have some info to help you... I have a friend who actually has throat issues from reflux (and much more serious esophagus issues). He was told he can no longer drink alcohol...

    I do believe this is the case for me, too... I can't help but second-guess myself on it, but damn it does seem to be the case... The only smack-down I do on this thought is when I openly consider that the chamber as well as the herb is hotter to begin with, but at times the difference is so...

    Congrats on the new Hoppers, KB! The thing with that first draw is to be expected. As you've surmised correctly, you have to "prime" the herb with a real draw. The heating element is offering "static" heat and your draw provides its passage into and through the herb. Plus, there are lots...

    Not sure that I'd say "normal", but perhaps "benign". My other Ti doesn't do it... and it performs SO much better than this grey one I'm referring to. I'm just not ready to put myself through another GHL back and forth if they're going to say nothing is wrong with it again. I guess I'll get...

    Has anyone experienced the brief flashing of a Red, or of red/blue flicker while screwing down the backend (as in, the installation of a new battery)? This has been consistently happening with the grey Ti I have which I still believe (make that "KNOW") is under-performing in spite of GHL saying...

    Well, it seemed to come off after about a complete turn. It doesn't seem to be actual "rails" of the threads (I don't know if there's a term for this), and it perhaps was just a remnant that was snuggled in there well enough to have avoided detection... The backend fit appears to be fine. I...

    @kbrown5523 , yes, 'twas I. Here's the link. I also have @Ratchett 's case, which I use more for travel. The sleeve is always used, though, carrying it around. I don't use that clip for anything for keeping the hopper from rolling off the table...

    So this happened: Looks like the "thread" itself decided to take a little breather from staying in formation. I've emailed Caroline... That is all. EDIT: Further inspected, it doesn't look like an actual thread rail, but more like a machining remnant that hadn't presented itself until...

    Yep, and I also have periods where I need to lay off the hands due to inflammation or a smidgen of arthritis. I'm counting on learning better technique helping. I hope your condition(s) allow for respites to play satisfactorily to you. For a musician to lose the use of his hands, to me...

    I haven't begun to shovel yet, but thankfully I have a friend in construction who will send some help when it winds down. I can't do this by myself anymore; it's worth $100 to not have to risk a fucking stroke or something. Sure, I'm only 21, but... :rofl:(kidding, I'm pushing 60). The worst...

    I'm getting dumped on by a blizzard here, so I'll be inside all day (except for shoveling "breaks") vaping and trying to figure out how to deal with cabin fever.... If you have a credit card, why not just sign up for Paypal? I've had it since the beginning and it's great. Yep! My :2c...
