    I saw this Feeder several weeks ago and hadn't thought too much about it, but after thinking about the hassle of loading on the run, this seems like a good idea. I just bought two, since I use different strains for day vs eve. Glad to see this thing is gaining in popularity. Quite exclusively...

    It may well be true... the start-up current draw may be more per unit time versus maintaining a temperature. My use style is single long draws (fill up the lungs once and exhale), and I'm pretty well set. So it's a shame I can't really benefit any by saving battery by leaving it on, since I'm...

    That's OK, Vap, I'm happy to say that you've just provided some education, since up until I read of your astute observation, I too thought it was a ring of individual blue and red LEDS. Why am I disappointed? :freak: :doh: Just want to say that you may wish you had a 4-bay charger. I went...

    Dems are some nice Bubbles! Thanks you guys! I've been using a Purr Papa and it's too tiny, not enough H2O IMO. Agree with the rest of the pack here that this is normal. "Normal" doesn't mean "good", but it is how my two hoppers (and a prior defective body) are. Kinda dumb, they couldn't...

    Ah, that's good feedback.... :tup: If I may (and I'm not saying the issue is resolved, maybe it's something else), my first day with the hopper was similar.... The sensation of "heat" coming up against my throat, with the unique sense of something other than "air" mixed in, I had a very strong...

    First lemme say that as I'm sure many of us are very careful and thorough as we get to know how to Hop, I respect that you as well have been scratching through a few layers of scalp trying to figure this out. Respect. It seems you've tried everything I would have, surely. I think the comments...

    Well congratulations! All this time I thought you were a happy hopper user! I hope you get it very quickly now that you have your confirmation, and that it works first time and every time you use it. Looking forward to your review! As @tubasco said, just enough to fill the chamber without...

    @Vapor_Eyes I'm glad to hear of such a solid thumbs-up experience with them. And the GHB2 battery is a really nice gesture. I hope they continue to win our confidences as they grow up to be a roundly favored name in the market of high quality vapes. This isn't your first hopper is it, Moondog?

    What I can't understand is how this is a good thing from the point of view of small particles dropping onto the heater. Heater goes on, "melts" material, tiny resins stay behind, then burns off?? Maybe it isn't ever an issue, and I certainly get the larger holes idea for airflow... For me...

    As @BadDog No correctly states, the Blue Tac is for threads on the backend and body. I've been using this exclusively (along with a fast wipe of threads with ISO afterwards) every other time I replace a battery (it takes less than 30 seconds of actual application) and I'm totally satisfied with...

    Exactly my thoughts... Conduction is all well and good, but convection only bakes when you're drawing. Since I'm kind of Type A with some things, it used to bug me when I'd pass the Pax with a green light to someone and they'd keep talking or whatever, and I'd be itching to say, "Toke it, it's...

    Ditto.... for me, convection seems to give me the purest sense of the herb. The difference between conduction and convection, for me, is a quite noticeable effect. The hopper is my fiull-duty vape every day (Pax2 is in the drawer); but the FW4 might make a better at-home or session device...

    Very interesting, Sir Hog! So it's sort of like the the noises generated from MRI machines where the current is pulsed through the coil to generate the (in Ths case) magnetic field. I just realize what is so familiar Abrams it that sound.... it is a miniature of the sound the igniter on a gas...

    Oh, so now you're putting words in my mouth! Actually when I'd originally posted the word "ticking", I knew that comment would be coming! :lol:

    Yep, that was me about 4 months ago too, I asked Caroline and she said "it is normal". So OK, I will not regard clicking (or not clicking) as a measure of hopper health. I remain curious though, what the "source" of the clicking is. Certainly it is in the body, not the backend , and certainly...

    Hey Ratch... But how come it's constant now, even when it is at temperature? It didn't used to do this before, and my other Ti of the same "age" doesn't do this.

    I said I don't believe in jinxes, and I still don't, but I've noticed something over the past few days with one of my Ti's. Though it's performing perfectly, I've noticed that the "ticking" sound remains after the red heat-up, and throughout the solid blue session. Anyone else have that...

    Started baking myself earlier than usual today, not much on my schedule.... I keep a piece of Blue Tac handy - a blob about the size of the back end - that I use (over and over) every other time I replace a battery. Consistently, I've been enjoying stellar performance from both Ti's, at their...
