    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    That's interesting. The last backend they sent me wouldn't thread on to the older body I have (Several months old). It's odd to think they'd do a wholesale change to threading and not send a complete unit when replacing parts. I wonder if they had some manufacturing issues with the backends...

    As someone who was looking for a healthier alternative to my one hitter, this is dead on. I can't fathom anything else being a better alternative (the Zion looks interesting, but I really like the GH form factor).

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I added a TI unit when I received my shipping confirmation last summer (early bird backer). It didn't get shipped with my early bird unit and I'm still waiting for it. My invoice has now been updated to shipping in Feb. 2016 (after being August, then September, then October, then November...

    I'd think folks would like to understand all sides of the experience. While I read this thread regularly, and post occasionally, (an early backer with GH since last summer), I don't know how often or interesting I can make comments about using it. I don't have the breadth of experience with...

    My GH has been running well for a few months now. The backend (this one is number 4), several months old is running waaayyy too hot... They had sent me a replacement, but it didn't work (problems with the threading). I returned, and have been waiting a month for the new replacement (that'd be...

    I haven't checked in for a while. The latest replacement body is going strong for a month now, with heavy use (I pretty much only use the GH). The last backend is being replaced. It's working, but the pen clip band gets painfully hot when it is on. They sent me a replacement for it already...

    @paytonpenn - how dry was the herb you were vaping. I did a comparison of some stickier herb and some fairly dry herb this evening. The drier herb was far less flavorful, in fact, almost harsh. They were the same strain.

    this latest replacement unit has been running like a champ for over a week now. Woohoo! Something different I've noticed between this unit and the previous ones... I'm getting a better roast at around position 3.8 than on 5 on the temp dial. The earlier ones I was always using at setting 5...

    Is that @Ratchett's battery holder?

    Well, after a bit more than a week and 5 emails, body #4 has arrived. Hopefully, with their new forms online, this will improve their process. I realized immediately how much i missed it. Having gone back to O pens and my one hitter, i sure do hope my GH stays around a while. I went through a...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    The form is not up on their website yet, I had the same thought. I finally heard back from her.. She suggested the delay in response is due to the increase in production there. I guess customer service is a part time gig there. It's frustrating and infuriating to watch - such great...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    At least Caroline is responding to you. I've still had no response to my past Friday email reporting my newly replaced Hopper had died after one use. I may have more to say later today about that.

    What charger were you using? We're you using their charger cable?

    It did fine with small nuggets... Though they sometimes would get caught up when trying to clean the bowl, and you'd need a toothpick or pick of sorts to help clean it out. I usually used rough ground flower, I think I got bigger hits out of that (probably more flower, faster convection from...

    2 of my 3 did that too. First one after a few months, and second one after a week.

    For some number of us, the GH is not working at all, so it can't only be about how it works, since it isn't working. I personally have posted on some number of occasions the positive aspects of the Grasshopper, but as I've experienced recently, it isn't working for me at all, and is not user...

    The only change in my usage habits since I first received the GH is that I am not using it at all, since it doesn't work. I'd characterize myself as a heavier user, and since a few days after receiving have pretty much only used it at temp setting 5. If I have to meter my usage, the unit is of...

    I just tried it again. Red lights never went off, and smoke started coming out the led/airhles. This one is clearly toast. Can't wait to see how long it takes to hear back from HL and what happens with the next body they send me. It really does seem they are going backwards, not forwards.

    My first one lasted many months. Each new part they have been sending lasts less and less time than the prior one before it malfunctions. If these things couldn't take shipping, they certainly won't last very long with the general wear and tear of life.

    Another day, another new Grasshopper body, another blue/red lights of death. I received my grasshopper back today after returning the whole thing for their evaluation and warranty service. This is now the third Grasshopper body I have received (to go with three clicker backends). After using...
