    Firewood Vaporizer

    @sk8man121 that was just what I wanted to hear... I bought the FW because I want a more reliable home session vape than the Hopper. I just went through warranty stuff with the Hopper and I just didn't like being without a vape. I probably will never use my Pax again, after experiencing...

    Firewood Vaporizer

    Greetings... I just pulled the trigger on a FW4. I'm a Hopper head since July (Pax prior, ancient history now!).... Been reading around before I bought, so I went for the extra capsules and the cooling unit... Speaking of which, comparing the Hopper to the FW4 insofar as vapor heat at the...

    You know, you're right... I agree... there's something very weird about it... that boutique-y privileged BS. Perhaps it will be a hit with the Yoga crowd. I've never done cotton anything, dabs, etc.. I'm chicken :cry: . I'm medicated most of the day; But I'll start with the sprinkles...

    Nice, thanks...I think I'll sprinkle a bit on top... when I know I have no work to do for a few hours :)

    Coffee grinder, eh? Do you just throw in buds or do you try and break them apart to get at the stems? Good stuff doesn't have a lot, but I wonder, why not just pulverize the whole thing, hmm? I haven't had this happen to me while vaping, but this was the not-uncommon reaction I would have...

    You know, for a GuyontheCouch, you sure did some good work, there! Kudos! I can certainly relate... the other day I'd mentioned that I realized how uncomfortable I feel when my hopper doesn't seem to behave as expected. Having two didn't help, as both were behaving strangely, sent to GHL...

    Thanks, Moon. And do you get thick clouds normally in the usage fashion you've described? I dunno, it just seems that my grey Ti (which they returned "as is") seems to be weaker as compared with the previous backend. I have to be 4.5-5 and am seeing clouds that are not as thick. Good luck...

    I wish we could know just exactly how GHL "runs diagnostics". The scenarios we all can come up with for actual use are myriad; so how does one quantify performance to know what is "acceptable". Thinking out loud: Do they place a thermistor in the chamber with some modified MP and run the...

    @GreenHopper , you piqued my interest in exploring different ways to Hop regarding that "perpetual charge". I've wondered just how that would indeed affect the battery insofar as to how it would degrade (not just how fast it would degrade). After the first 5 months of battery usage, I'd kept a...

    To be fair, GHL never recommends taking the screen out. In your case, however, they should've kissed your ass a little bit, IMO, and sent out a NEW MP and asked you to return the old one. Case close, everyone's happy. Oh, and it's only $100 more!! :o Methinks they needed a higher-ticket...

    Well, I got my grey Ti back, "nothing wrong with it", apparently. I still feel it lacks the punch it used to have, and now I've just sent back the raw Ti and hope they'll give it a new backend. Se la vie. I may just splurge and get a Firewood 4. I've been in the house all day, and at one...

    I'm not certain of this, but I don't believe that the wear that is evident has anything to do with performance. Sure, it might have been gold plate (measured thickness in micrometers), but it might've been put there for corrosion resistance. It's a way some manufacturers preserve unused...

    I should be getting my Grey Ti today back from Warranty. As I've said that my raw Ti backend is really feeling gritty and shitty, with play in the motion as well; I have also been disappointed in the performance (ie, therefore I've associated the poor performance with those mechanical...

    Well said, Baron. I dislike the sense that GHL speaks about their engineering marvel to be beyond the comprehension of us dope-heads by providing meaningless info about themselves and not the product itself. If that sounds a bit like I'm talking about a certain someone who's been in the news...

    Yeah that's a great case, I have that one. Along with others that haven't made it out of the drawer yet. But there is one that I use daily and it's the perfect leather sleeve. I don't even want the one GHL promises to deliver one of these days...

    I went through this same experience, thought I'd screwed up everything... the trick is indeed to go easy. I also found that a couple of sharp quick raps against a solid surface will help "shake" things loose too. No, but I posted earlier my humble opinion that if they don't change the design...

    Thanks, @MoltenTiger ... I guess I do understand what Was meant.. I just never thought that, to do the mid-draw adjustment, I'd have to take a heck of a long draw. It always seems to me that the first 5 or so seconds, the vapor is just beginning to form! M batteri s are brand new... for n...

    Just a data point for all.... Regarding when GHL tests a Hopper with "diagnostics", I am told by Caroline that: The Hopper will change the temperature as you are drawing on it if you move the temp selector (this sentence really makes little sense to me, but...). When I am testing for proper...
