    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    It's been a week so far since my Grasshopper was delivered back to Hopper Labs for warranty repair and I haven't heard anything from them yet after initially being told that the turnaround time would be 1-2 business days. I emailed Caroline today for a status update and to confirm that they...

    Yep, they pulled both teaser posts from IG, seems like 420 delivery is doubtful now.

    Their latest Instagram post hashtag says it all: #FF2by420 https://www.instagram.com/p/BERVR7lnIeU/?taken-by=fireflyvapor Hopefully they can pull it off!

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    With my Grasshopper out of commission in still in service for warranty repair, all I can say is that Firefly Fever is in full effect and I am going a little stir-crazy waiting for the shipping notification to arrive. More reviews! More user testimonials! More FF2 snacks for my crazy brain to...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    This is a VERY positive update from Hopper Labs in my opinion. It shows that they've been listening and that they're finally willing to step up their communication with customers. I think if they continue along this track it will alleviate a lot of the frustration and anguish out there.

    My Hopper arrived today at Hopper Labs for warranty repair. I'm really missing it and can't wait to have it back in rotation. Here's hoping for a quick 1-2 day turnaround time!

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    Interesting review on the G Pen Elite with references to the Firefly 2: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-portable-vaporizer/#competition-firefly2 This is somewhat concerning: "Our first test model was part of a bad production batch that was quickly replaced, and we suspect our second...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Damn, apparently someone on reddit reported Hopper Labs to PayPal for violating their terms of service regarding pre-order shipping times. "Paypal has let me know that they escalated matters to their fraud department and are looking into it." Hopefully this doesn't cause HL too much of a...

    @Vapetrees I actually just got an email from them about 30 minutes ago, they asked me to send in the Grasshopper, charger, and battery. So pretty much the entire kit is being sent back to HL. Cleaning it out now and will send it out first thing tomorrow morning. I miss my Hopper and can't wait...

    Update on my broken Hopper: Caroline emailed me back yesterday just to tell me to resubmit my warranty request via the Warranty Request form on the site with my serial number and box ID number. Even though I emailed all of the pertinent information directly to support, apparently this...

    Nothing yet @Vapetrees , hoping to hear back at some point today. I'll keep you posted! I thought I was the first one with a story of the Hopper combusting material, but then I saw that @FizzNuggets went through the exact same thing. Btw Fizz, I tried just leaving it on for 30+ seconds to see...

    My Grasshopper combusted last night... Didn't do anything unusual, just turned it on at temp level 4 and within a couple seconds of inhaling, I heard a spark and could immediately tell the herb had combusted. Wasn't pleasant at all. Took me completely by surprise and tasted awful. Turned off...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    @mitchgo61 I have plenty of backups haha, I'm just particularly excited for the FF2. I use on-demand vaporizers exclusively now and for me, there's just no going back to timed session vapes. GH and UD have nearly cured my VAS, but neither one is great for my most frequent usage scenario...

    4/20 would be absolutely perfect. I'm leaving for a trip on April 29th and would love to bring the FF2 along with me. March 1 pre-order here.

    Damnit I was really excited for a moment and then I realized it must be an April Fool's joke. But I still have a smidgen of hope... Come on @studmuffin don't play with our emotions like this!

    I have a Ti now but I had a SS and I can confirm what @Vapetrees and @slcbdco say about the differences between the two. It was very noticeable to me. The Ti definitely seems to extract the herb faster and the taste doesn't last for as many hits compared to the SS. Both have great taste, don't...

    That gap between the dial and clip may cause some problems. When I had that gap on mine, I would often get flashing red lights when clicking on the Hopper that would go away if I turned it off and on again. Seems like if the back-end isn't screwed on flush it can cause some sort of connection...

    @Vapetrees I have the exact same issue with my Ti unit, the backend feels very coarse when I screw it on and off, especially the last couple threads. Hasn't gone away even though the Hopper has been getting a lot of use. I was actually getting intermittent flashing red lights when clicking on...

    @SavageCore Try adjusting your draw speed. Hit it reasonably slow with a long, steady draw (8-10 seconds) until you feel like you've inhaled a lot of vapor - then you should get a big cloud. I too was under the impression that the device would be easier to use right off the bat, but after...

    I could actually see them upgrading the software for this model and implementing some sort of "boost" mode. Like press 1 button for your usual temperature, and then both buttons to boost it to the next level. I'm not disagreeing that they will eventually introduce temp control on the device...
