    I wonder when HL will add that MP screen tip in the Fix thread to their "Tips". So I'm here to second @travis 's recommendation in his post http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-grasshopper.18482/page-543#post-1055437 Regarding this leather case. It's just perfect. In fact, HL can keep...

    When I use the bubbler, it's T4 or T5, too. I think the accuracy question kind of goes with the issue of "futzing with the Temp dial when you get the blue flashing lights". A tiny "adjustment" may be a "better connection", in a way. No way to really know of course. Though, as it's been...

    I'm not an expert on batteries, nor do I play one on TV, but, methinks when a battery "explodes", and that battery is vented, then it doesn't just "explode". AND, that brings me to a question about this: I've seen videos of batteries "exploding", and every time I've seen it happen, the device...

    Howdy (mostly) Happy Hoppers, Yep, I'd agree, and add that it seems ok to "pack" the chamber with a pointy-thing. Like a dental tool, sharp. It gently packs without cramming, and it's kind of equivalent to using the Feeder when it comes to optimal packing for longer chambers. And certainly...

    Pardon the interruption on the current topic of GHL's newsletter... Does anyone remember this post, and had anyone ordered this item? I did, and it was "shipped" way back at the time of this post... but the tracking info still says "preparing for shipment". It's coming from Thailand...

    Does GHL have a FB Page? Seems like a silly question, or even a silly thing for them to have, because, if I was on FB and I was having this kind of issue with GH, I'd be slingin shit all over that fucking timeline. Just sayin

    Sorry, Purple, just saw your post... I should have clarified that there is always a risk, of course. In the case of carrying a gram or two in those fobs, the typical "risk" is that they'll confiscate it or refuse you entry, etc. In the case, however, of having the bad luck of being a...

    Well, Shut my mouth! :clap: Even so, I will say that the loops in the case aren't all "even", some are smaller than others; in my case, they are impossibly tight. No worries, it's a GREAT pencil case.:peace:

    Haha! Yeah, that's kinda weird. ya WEIRDO! :lol: So I have noticed that - as I'm still on my first round of 6 batteries since Mid-July - the ticking sound is much less prominent.... when I can hear it at all. I can't be 100% sure, but I'd say that the ticking is present all the time it's...

    Yes, it does mean that the battery is getting low, but it does also mean what @guyonthecouch said very succinctly (I LOVE that username!): And it also means this: The Temp dial thing is a known recurrent issue that everyone experiences and seems to be able to mitigate hot backends and...

    Hey, @Hogni ... I took a closer pic for you of the case.... Not only does the Hopper not fit in this case, the batteries do not fit at all either. I spent more than 2 minutes trying to put one battery through one of those elastic loops, and they only stretch so far. They are like the bands...

    Ah, it's no big deal, but thanks, Hogni... I already put the thing away for a time when it'll be gifted to someone... The thing with the elastic loops inside is that they are all uneven (different diameters). Those loops cannot be "merged" with each other. They are each sewn in place. Now...

    Great minds think alike, they say... I guess that goes for sick minds too. :rofl: Moon, I've also thought about those essentials... I think there is a point on that list, around whether tweezers and ISO should count as "essentials". Are they? Would it ever be likely you'd need to remove...

    OK, sorry for the change of topic, but this is an official review of this familiar looking case that was posted a while back... Simply stated, don't buy it. It's a fucking pencil case. I knew that; I saw the pics on the website. But no, I went and got it because I'm impetuous. Need to...

    Insert the tube of the air-can into the MP hole. This will blast air through the screen via the little plastic tunnel, thereby rendering water molecules defenseless and they will have to vacate the assembly entirely. Then, place the MP upside-down (large side down) on a paper towel. Wha huh...

    I've dropped my 2 Ti's at least a few times, but mostly from lap-height to the floor, and mostly never a flat "whack" but a tumble-whackity-slide-bump (this is a highly technical term). So far, no issues. Yep, that's a scary sound; it lasts about half-second, like a sizzle. As you said...

    Haha, this is what happens when I post using a mobile device; I also have no idea what it means :shrug: But perhaps I should've written out that ID = Inside Diameter, and OD = Outside diameter. "High", of course, is self-explanatory. :rofl:

    I've wondered how that part if the backend could best be maintained, but there's no way I'm running anything in that crack between the dial and the backend; with my luck it will break or leave traces of material, and I'd wish I hadn't. I know nothing about fishing, but maybe there is a...

    I've tried (no, really, I have) to come up with some reasons for the delay on the leather case... the best reason I could come up with is that Caroline is Vegan and she's putting up a fight about genuine versus imitation leather.
