    A huge majority might even be 90%, however, a failure rate of 1% or more is already a huge problem, especially with a life long guarantee. A really huge failure rate would have bancrupted them already long ago. All I'm saying is the nobody really knows the numbers, but the mere fact that nobody...

    Absolutely agree. We're talking about maximum a few dozen people on FC and Reddit (many are regged in both places anyway) and some other places. Also it's quite natural that mainly dissatisfied customers would report their troubles in the net. So I'm still pretty sure that a huge majority of all...

    Works for me too now. Maybe another set of batteries?

    Have you bought a Grasshopper from their site? Maybe that's what they count as "existing customer". I only bought spare parts and accessories and the code wouldn't work for me, too. Well, surprisingly even many of the people who spill their hate for the company all over the net do appreciate...

    I'm not sure we are... I'd really like to know how close they are together when it comes to efficacy, like how hard does the Fury 2 really punch compared to the Hopper. I mean with legit questions like this... ... the topic of potential substitutes in RMA cases is as on topic as can be imo. I...

    I've seriously been considering the Fury 2 for a while now, it seems great at the price. But I'm a bit unenthusiastic of buying a vape from another continent, no european shop is even carrying replacement parts, and I'm a great fan of the replaceable battery. Also, it doesn't look like it's got...

    Sofar the only device I found that match what I'm looking for are butane vapes like the Sticky Brick and the Dreamwood, and I don't really dig that torch thing. As I said above: instant power, no-stirring, micro-doseable. What else is there that would release the entire vapour out of </=0.1 gr...

    I always find it peculiar how this stealth thing is really seen so differently. I'm on the "No way I would ever vape from a big a55 ball pen and exhale a cloud of vape in public" side and miss the Hopper most at home, on a decent little glass piece. I agree, there are better tasting ones, but...

    Pen Focus Vaporizer

    I also removed the ceramics as I only use the focus on a water piece. I have a one-hitter head on my bong, that fits super snug with the glass mouthpiece of the focus. I keep the little screen in place with a steel spring from a ball pen, that fits right into the glass mouthpiece and keeps the...

    What @guyonthecouch said. I found the PFE to be a game changer on glass pieces and even used it exclusively without glass. Found it easier to clean than the regular mouthpiece as well. Still find it a tiny little bit paltry that you don't have the option to buy it with the PFE as default mouthpiece.

    thanks a lot @MoltenTiger for this encouraging prep talk and for analyzing the unique position the HopperLabs are in. That combination of High Tech and basically a Mom & Pop setup (with Mom and Pop happening to be highly skilled engineers) makes them extremely vulnerable when the sh!t hits the...

    Honestly, the "stealthy" body is at the very bottom of my priority list, it could be bigger than a focus and have a flourescent display saying "MARIJUANA CONSUMPTION DEVICE!" - fine with me, as long as it does the job like only the hopper can do.

    - that's been said for a few weeks already, so... otoh the expected shipping time for new hoppers is set to "two weeks". So maybe Hoppy will come back for summer?

    I'm not addressing you personally here, as many user have said similar things, but what seems to be the advantage in not sending in your broken hopper before they start sending out repaired ones again? If it's not working, who else would be able to repair them? My idea is the longer you wait to...

    I would like to elaborate what @seaofgreens and @Hjalmark said: I don't think it's the right vape for you right now. Problem is you better expect it not to be super reliable and you better expect it to totally rock your expectations of a small, portable device. It's unrivaled fast action (faster...

    Same here. Having ordered batteries just a few days before my Hopper broke again, I asked if they could ship the batteries with the fixed Hopper and reimbourse the shipping costs, but unfortunately they were "already in transit to the UPS station" and I'd get a shipping ref. as soon as it...

    From what they say my impression is that they're blaming the trouble on out-house processes. Which would sort of contradict their "mostly american made" claim.

    Mine should arrive these days at the Hopper Labs. So the good news I'm hearing is that everything will be soo much better soon, the slightly, less good news being nobody knows how long this "soon" is going to take. King of timing that I am, I just bought two new batteries and a snug little glass...

    Totally agree. Thus the subjunctive: I don't plan on abandoning the Hopper for good. That is... unless another device gives me what I love about it: immediate action and comparably raw power upon pressing a button.
