    Mine has never flashed red and blue in the same blink sequence when charging. It has only blinked red when charging, and only blue when charged. Never both red and blue. Have you contacted HL yet? It should not be doing that.

    Mine never has made a clicking sound at all. I've also never seen red and blue lights blinking. Mine just went black when it died. It definitely sounds like you have a charging malfunction or motherboard problem going on, probably not at the plug, but in the vape unit itself.

    Actually 200% now that you mention it. :doh: The question is, how many others we don't hear from on here or Reddit are experiencing similar failures?

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I think they are stretched financially. I think they were naive in thinking what it would cost to design and produce this - They only raised $350K in the IGG campaign. They were certainly not "production ready" as they claimed at that time. They burned a bunch of cash moving to Colorado...

    I received the replacement body 3 weeks ago. It was not built using the "redesigned" parts they just received. They told me the problem was a heater malfunction - and the replacement unit is having the exact same problem... I don't believe the heater has been redesigned, but who knows. The...

    I thought I'd check in and give an update. Sadly, I'm now on my third replacement grasshopper. Individually, the body has now had to be replaced twice (heater failures?)... the led's stopped lighting. Also on my third clicker back end. These parts have died intermittently. It's really a...

    We did throughout the trip. Plugged into both a car lighter USB and plugged into the wall or a PC at night if we felt the need. It always has to have some charge to use it that way.

    Road trip! Spent the last week cruising with the spousal unit in the car up and down the Oregon Coast. Only had to change battery twice during the week (after an hour of beach trekking). With charging cable in the car, it was more than enough to keep it charged between stops. I've been using...

    I've had mine (SS) for a few weeks now. Have had no problems - I've even dropped it a few times. It is used heavily daily, pretty much always on Setting 5. Cleaned it twice in that time. I must admit, I haven't wanted to use anything else since I got it.

    EDIT: I have tested and confirmed it is from the last draw (or clicking it on if no draws). Mines going 15 seconds btw...

    It works fine as one. You click it on, take a big hit (or two or three), turn it off, take a last draw and you are set. Because it's convection the air is heated and is hot. The chamber doesn't remain "hot" in the sense of continuing to cook the flower (at least not that I've noticed). Has...

    To Trevor's credit - he has passed Startup 101 pretty well. They've designed a truly interesting product, he's raised a lot of equity-free cash, and has a driven a virally successful (aka hyped) demand for the product he is looking to get in market- how many pages of commentary about it exist...

    Bird Aerospace I believe this is what they were doing before Hopper Labs: http://birduas.com/ My take on reviewing this site is a company that does bespoke development - really high tech stuff - firmware/software/hardware....

    It's pretty clear they are technology guys (engineers, hacks, name your poison). Trevor is learning the pain of being the CEO of a manufacturing entity. Their aero consulting and experience seems to be building one off, custom or semi-custom type devices. They clearly know how to produce the...

    To change the subject a bit, I thought I'd offer some usage notes after a weekend of playing with my new GH. A few things - I dropped it twice over the weekend - once from about 1 foot onto a rock, and once from about 5 foot onto carpeting. Nothing broke, nothing acting different, it took the...

    I've smoked herb for a long time. My weapon of choice until about a year and half ago has been a one-hitter - combustion - flame and fire heated. Probably for at least the last 15 or 20 years. I've wanted to find a cleaner approach. When I say it is a different smoking experience, smoking is...

    Mostly at 3 - but 3 & 5. Single hits and as many as 5 or 6 hits in a row. It got pretty warm - I'm finding that I am hitting it less than I hit the o-pen - and feel more medicated. No, my hands didn't catch on fire - though jets in formation flew by - or were they locusts? The Grasshopper...

    My SS/Early Bird Grasshopper arrived today. It does get warm to the touch on the mouthpiece.... I could see for some it might be uncomfortable. Using the silicon cover takes that problem away. I'm a long time, higher-medication patient, who has been using a one-hitter for years. I've used a...

    I had a little Grasshopper box arrive on my doorstep today. Never got a shipping confirmation - glad I got home first and not someone else. It arrived in perfect shape - that sucks on those that have been banged up. SS - early bird. I like it, it's a different way of smoking for me - like a...
