I recently received a new SS IO and I am heading towards an RMA before ever even using it. It will not power on unless the body is screwed into the back end partially. Tightening it all of the way will prevent it from powering on. I have to screw it on just right or it won't power on at all. Not...

Just to add some information to this thread... I have one SS Hopper that will not power up correctly with the AC adapter. The lights turn red for a moment and then shut off completely. Interestingly enough it does work with the 18650 battery sled, just not the AC adapter. I tried two different...

This would be my concern as well. It sounds like a battery issue that @luc59 is describing. In my experience Hopper batteries "die" suddenly and in random order, meaning that it's not always the first batteries acquired that die first. I have some older batteries that are still going strong, and...

I have owned and used multiple OG Hoppers and one Ti IO Hopper (I currently have an SS IO that I haven't tried yet). I don't think any two of my Hoppers perform exactly the same. They all seem a little different. I have one SS OG Hopper that always blinks during my draw, seemingly in a pattern...

I can only add that the gap between the ring and the top of the body is noticeably different on my two TM units. One is significantly larger than the other, but both units work about the same for me (my second unit probably runs one temp setting higher than my first one). I don't see much...

I have one or two OG Hoppers that will turn ABV blacker than my Ti IO. They just seem to run a little hotter than the IO. My IO still extracts well and I am happy with its performance, but some OG Hoppers will turn the ABV blacker. At times I think this is related to the differences in air flow...

There may be a different impact on the negative end of the battery insert when using the IO vs. the OG. Adjusting the temp while it is assembled will rotate the negative contact of the back end slightly. On the OG the negative contact is flat and smooth. On the IO it has three small prongs along...

I wonder what the last minute issue with the battery sleds is/was, and I wonder if it was corrected before or after I received mine....? I received my v2 (threaded) adapters with new battery inserts. I can report that both adapters screw onto all of my back ends without any issues. Screwing the...

Shout out to @VGOODIEZ for getting one of my orders straightened out with HL. Thank you sir. I have two PFEs and I have barely used them. With my OG Hoppers they got much hotter than the standard front end. Maybe the experience is different with the IO...?

I PM'd @VGOODIEZ a while ago about my pre-fire battery order that I never received. I did not get a response.

I just received an order confirmation for my replacement (v2) threaded adapters. I received an update from them on 8/2 stating that they would ship the next day. When I didn't receive anything I emailed them on 8/10 for a status update, and I received the confirmation today. I'm glad that they...

Please be aware that user @muunch ruined their battery adapter by experimenting with a different power supply. It sounds like there was an attempt to increase the voltage in that case, so probably not the same as buying a power supply with fixed voltage. But still a caveat.

I just finished two draws on my IO at 3.5 on the dial. As I have come to expect I got two great hits. But more to the point - on both draws I carefully felt around the intake holes with my fingers, being ready to withdraw my fingers at any sign of heat. I detected no unusual heat (just slight...

Interesting. It looks like you received this one (BINZET HTY-1200500): https://www.amazon.com/BINZET-Supply-Adapter-Converter-Regulator/dp/B00VA27NRK I received this one (Chanzon CAE060122-VI): https://www.amazon.com/110V-220V-Converter-Lighting-Transformer-Flexible/dp/B073QTNF9F...

This has me concerned also. I have experienced small but noticeable burns several times with my IO. I really have to avoid the air holes when I'm handling it. It often happens on the first draw, immediately after I click the unit on. @Vapor_Eyes I checked my front end and the screen is not...

The secret method only works on newer models. I tried it on my older model TM and it didn't work. I haven't tried it on my newer model TM because it vapes at temp 5 the same way my older TM vapes at temp 7.

This is my experience also, using on OG charger. I charge my IO exactly the same way as I charge my OG Hoppers. I have a timer switch on my power strip. The charging cable is plugged into the switch. I attach the charging cable to the Hopper back end and push the button on the timer switch to...

That's interesting. I already feel that I won't use the battery sled often because there is no effective switch on it. When I insert the battery the LEDs light up, and only removing the battery will make them go off. Removing the battery from my sleds is tricky because it's a tight fit. I...

This is not my experience, unless I'm confused on which batteries are button top and which batteries are flat top. My battery sled works with Sony VTC5A and Samsung INR18650-32E batteries. I believe that both of these are flat top batteries. I have one other 18650 battery that came with a...

I also have not found anything that definitively affects the hot back end issue. I have used Blu-Tac and freshly charged batteries and still experienced scorching hot back end on my 2016 SS Hopper. As others have observed, this does not happen on all Hoppers. My newer ones seem to be affected...
