    I'm doing the same, then get 2-3 hits on level 5 to finish the load. I've been lucky, the io's been amazing for almost 16 months. Might have to change someday but this piglet has a firm lip lock on HL's teet. Concerning battery performance, starting on level 1 with a fully charged battery I...

    Sorry to hear that. Have you diagnosed the problem? Sounds like it could be anything from a charging problem to clogged air path. Very odd that it works occasionally.

    Not having any problems keeping my battery charged. Pulled out my backup battery and tested it for the first time in several months, works great. Since 2016, always used the magnetic ring charger that came with it, except when the unit was down for repairs. Although the ring charger works...

    Glad to see that your io works like my (15-month old) SS io. Replaced the first battery at 10-11 months but it worked fine last time I checked it. I use it natively with the ring charger. Haven't spent much. Registered my first grasshopper 5 years ago this week. It's been my primary device...

    Agreed, in theory. However, I'm guessing actual flower vaping efficiency varies significantly from device to device, and from user to user. It could come down to the cost per hit. I'm currently getting around 15-20 heavy vape hits per day for around $0.07/hit.

    For some reason I thought the "heat shield" inside the mouthpiece is copper. Do you still have those photos from when you disassembled your mp? I can see the end of it inside the tip. I don't soak the mp overnight, probably have some build-up in the hidden air gap. Can air flow around the...

    I learned a lesson about cleaning my io. I had been "cleaning it" every 4-5 days, usually only a couple of minutes with a couple of q-tips. Also noticed that the mouthpiece threads started getting sticky pretty quickly after I cleaned it. This occasionally got bad enough that I accidentally...

    Could be a defective charger, or charger adapter. I'm sure you already checked that, but it happened to me a while ago.

    I recommend cleaning the threads with IOS and let it dry. Might try just a tiny drop of thread lock on the upper side of the male threads. Don't know if thread lock would mix with vapor if it gets into the heating element area. The tape and pliers should work but it might also damage it if...

    I'm guessing the mouthpiece threads are designed with less interference than the heating element connection. The mouthpiece comes off much easier than the element when warm. I've sort of learned to feel the difference when the element first starts backing out, so I usually stop and reverse...

    Mine unscrews easily as well. I clean the threads, look it over and carefully screw it back together. HL suggested putting a tiny bit of thread lock on it. I think the correct answer would also include torqueing it up to spec, but have no clue what that amount would be or how to apply it...

    Severe Upper Back Pain

    What happens when you take a deep breath? How about raising or moving your arm? You might not can tell but would you guess it's a muscular/skeletal problem or possibly an organ further inside? Can your spouse or someone poke around and identify a tender spot or muscle?

    My younger brother just ordered the black Monday deal. Well see how long before it arrives, if it works correctly, etc. He's a very successful lawyer, only smoked weed occasionally over the years. He knows nothing about vaporizers, but he recently tried my io and wanted one for himself. I...

    They probably won't but they potentially could announce that, in order to stay in business and improve SQ to a satisfactory level, they have to add a $20 processing fee to cover shipping and material costs. It would probably upset some folks, but it's potentially essential for long term...

    Definitely more dissatisfied customers on this thread. There must be a group of users or HL would shut down. Can HL win the uphill battle and reverse the bad reputation, with no marketing budget and continued bad reviews? Improved reliability and word of mouth "advertising" might not be...

    I admit that I sometimes get bored and look to things like this thread for entertainment. What can I say? My old friends either live elsewhere or worse. 😳👻 It's unfortunate that there are two distinct groups of Hopper users in this thread, current and former. Unfortunately this can also mean...

    I didn't assume anything and I'm not sure what you're upset about. Have read it twice. Is a satisfied customer welcome on this thread? Just let me know, please. Maybe we need two threads, those that (understand all that has transpired but are satisfied and) wanna learn and share usage...
