Has the single 18650 version officially been raised to 50 watts? The description has always just said >25 watts.

I believe it changed when the Zion increased. To be fair, I believe the original price was the beta price. This would lead me to believe it will rise yet again when it gets to full on production status. You know you're going to need it to complete your collection :).

I think you already answered your own question. If they sincerely believed at the time that they were ready to produce and ship anywhere near 1000/week, they would have been able to fulfill many of their estimates. There are any number of things that can explain why they were unable to meet...

Although we haven't heard anything directly from GH about exact heater numbers, members here and on reddit have supposedly gotten email responses from Trevor months ago on this issue. Below is a link to one such post. Believe what you want, but heaters being the bottleneck doesn't make a bit of...

I'm perfectly fine with that. By controlling the preheat time, feathering button, and inhalation speed, this unit should be able to give users whatever vaping style they want. It will just take practice. That's the beauty of a manual unit, it's all up to the users technique. I definitely feel...

I don't think you are speaking out of turn if you are talking about the possibility of maybe being able to run stacked batteries, or other battery possibilities. Below is a quote snip from the man himself earlier in the thread. I am not sure if this is set in stone yet, but it sure would be...

Does this bring you to 2 out of 3 having issues so far? Not good.

If you have two of the same cells, one old and one new, issues can still develop. The older cell will most likely have a higher internal resistance then the new. The older cell will also have lost some of it's capacity. This will eventually result in one cell dropping in voltage faster than the...

I do believe the actual price is $229. The limited time discount brings it down to $199, and also adds the lifetime warranty if you purchase during the discount.

You are correct except the Zion doesn't have temperature control, it's voltage control. The knob controls the voltage applied to the heater. The temp of the air can still vary depending on how long you preheat for, or by adjusting your draw rate (or by changing the knob.) That is my understanding.

Not necessarily. The wattage of the heater will depend on the voltage(max 4.2v for 18650) and the final resistance of the heater. Since the final resistance hasn't been decided, as far as I know, there is no way currently to say what the max wattage will end up as. To get an accurate measure of...

It's not an 18650. It's a custom size that you will only be able to acquire direct from Hopper Labs. There are no other suitable batteries in this form factor because this is the only one, sorry.

That's one of the changes made to the FAQ on the Grasshopper website. They explain your concerns plain as day right there. They even go as far as to give the exact cutoff date. It's all there waiting to be read.

It's possible. More testing/information is needed though. How much heat energy is that little ceramic disc capable of providing? How long will it take for the heat to transfer through the VapCap (your herb is right on the other side of that cap and will be taking heat the whole time as well)...

Sure, an electric heating option could be done, but certain things have to be considered first. You can't make the heating element out of traditional methods(needs to be ceramic most likely to prevent the VapCap from shorting it out.) No using anything with a kanthal or nichrome heater. It is...

I'm all for the 18mm change. I'm positive that any change that gets made will be for the better, so bring em on.

Will the 18mm work well with small loads, around 0.03g? If so, then it seems like a win-win to me.

I just snagged my spot on the pre-order for this. I couldn't pass it up at the current price. I will be checking in from time to time. Hopefully someone will post some in use videos before long, please.;);) Edit I am still optimistic about the Grasshopper, but I think I have a good chance of...
