    It gets a little warm near the backend when it's on but always stays considerably cooler than the area near the heating element. I heard reports of scorching hot back ends but I don't believe I have that issue; the backend area never gets even slightly uncomfortable to touch. By day 3 of Hopper...

    I get about 2-3 full bowls per battery taking ~ 8 hits per bowl at 4.5. To maximize the life of my batteries I've just been rotating them out with each bowl and recharging them right away. The flavor with the GH is just fantastic. The only vaporizer that is better in my collection is the...

    I thought mine was underperforming as well until I figured out the best technique for it, and it took me a couple days to do so. My suspicion is that your GH is probably working fine. I usually pack 1/2 a bowl and it takes me about 6-8 draws to kill the bowl entirely and turn the herb very dark...

    @Vapetrees I was having similar problems getting clouds. If you read my initial impressions, you'll see that I was disappointed at first. Now, after some more experience, I can say that hands down GH is my favorite vaporizer and consistently gives me nice, big, consistent hits. Experiment with...

    @biohacker bought his Hopper from someone on Kijiji I believe and had the account info switched to his own before making a warranty claim. I actually tried to get people on eBay to do this for me as well, but most of the people I asked had purchased Hoppers of their own and were selling the...

    That's at 4.5. Could've gone darker than that with a couple more hits, but I'm not a big fan of the taste by that point.

    @studmuffin It depends on the vape I use, but I'd say with the GH I'm now hitting it at about a 6-7 on the sipper to ripper scale. At first I thought I really needed to rip it at 10 to get clouds, but once I adjusted the temperature, I didn't have to try so hard. It's early days with this vape...

    Day 3 with my Grasshopper. I've been using it as my daily driver now for the 3 days I've had it and it's going very well so far. A big "aha" moment for me was realizing that I needed to bump the GH to 4.5 to get the same 392 degrees F level that I enjoy vaping at on my Arizer Air (level green)...

    Got my SS Grasshopper today! Just to be clear, this is a unit that I purchased from a fellow FCer (although I also have a Ti pre-order in as well). It was delivered to the original purchaser towards the end of January so it's one of the latest revisions. Here are my first impressions... The...

    They haven't even finished all backers yet. There are a couple posts on Reddit today from backers who are still waiting on shipment confirmations weeks after their address confirmations.

    I have no idea, but DirtD1V3R said he just added one to his pre-order so I was going based on that example. I personally don't think that allowing backers or pre-orderers to add to their existing orders is a wise business decision, but Hopper Labs sets the rules, not the customers, so they're...

    @DirtD1V3R nice choice with the blue Hopper, I think you made the right decision. I've been eyeing that model ever since I started following @BuzzDanklin on Instagram. May switch my regular titanium preorder to a blue one when the time comes. Who knows maybe I'll just do the same as you and get...

    I just checked the d4 manual and it seems there's no problem charging just one battery. Only the i4 has that warning so there does seem to be a difference.

    I'm getting the i2 for my 3 batteries. I like the option of being able to charge one battery at a time, which you can't do in the i4 without potentially damaging the battery. From the i4 manual: "When charging a single battery in the I4, the charging current can reach as high as 750mA, which...

    Excited for you @biohacker! You seemed to love the GH even when it wasn't working at 100% capacity, can't wait to get your review on a fully functioning unit. Mine should be arriving at some point next week and I cannot stop obsessively checking the tracking on it haha.

    Do the power cords on E-Nanos fail a lot? Maybe I should order myself a backup just to be safe, I've seen a few reports of failed power cords.

    @bigsunfish , it sucks that you won't have your vaporizer in time. I understand wanting it before you leave town, that's exactly the reason why I ordered mine early last week. But if you look on the epicvape.com website, it states that standard processing time for orders (before shipping) is 2-3...
