    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    Just another bit of info to add to the fray. I just got the Hopper I ordered last week. And omg it is 1000x better than the one I had 6 months ago. The back end turns nicely without any grinding. The button is butter smooth up and down. The threads are perfect and ... the hit... I'm knocked...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I hope we both manage to get what we need out of this. I'll be pretty disappointed if it shows up with issues. But to quote Michael Scott "I'm ready to be hurt again." I want to order the battery charger so badly, but I think I am going to wait until it is real since people have been waiting...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    That is exactly what I'm hoping to do! With the bonus of having lots of options when I get home. Glass, induction heaters, hopper, and dynavaps. Ah, thank you for making me feel better about my choice. The situation you just described is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. :) Now I just...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I have a number of Dynavaps as well, in fact I had too many of them and wasn't using half of them since I found ones I liked the best. So I sold some of those so I could pay for my new Hopper purchase. So far I'm happy with my choice, but then again the hopper hasn't show up yet (obviously) so I...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    Since I originally owned a hopper, I have moved on to Dynavaps with an Induction Heater. It has been a great experience, and since I have had the IH and it makes using them so easy, I can say that I haven't used my mighty in months. I hate to say it, but there it is. I thought about why I was...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    Probably a worn out question, but does anyone have any of the new units that they quoted in the AMA that haven't had any warranty cases on? Is that just outright false, or is there actually something real going on that is getting them past some of their issues?

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    Hey all, just curious. Has anyone bought one of the new ones from the site that ship "same day". I'm wondering if they are finally coming off the line working. I would consider buying one again if they are working from the start or if they have a new process for sending out working new units. I...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    It isn't loose, it just doesn't sit all the way down on the tip. I'm not sure what the issue is, I have to get in there and do more testing, but for the time being I'm not really using my shadow a lot. My Omni's outshine it by so much right now with the FD, that I just haven't cared enough to...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    So I did a test with my cap, and I think I have identified the problem. My shadow cap doesn't go down NEARLY far enough. My normal cap sits all the way down on the shadow tip but the shadow cap does not. I think when I put the shadow cap on the shadow there is a pocket of space between the top...

    Now this I find interesting. Do you get good hits right after the click? Mine clicks at a decent time, but there doesn't seem to be a lot happening in the bowl.

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    That is a good idea, I will have to try this when I get home tonight. It will be good to know what part isn't absorbing the heat the way the others do. The cap is probably a good part of it.

    I don't have more than one shadow cap since it is the one that came with the shadow and you can't buy extras. So i can't test it on multiples of those.

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    So science question for everyone. Is there something in the coating of the Shadow M that would make it resistant to the heating of an induction heater? Anecdotal observations so far: - Titanium tip, filled full bowl. Insert to click, take out immediately. Huge hit, clouds flavor everything...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    I can say that the 14mm coil does not need any extra time on my Ti tips. When it clicks it is ready. I get a sold 4 or 5 HUGE hits off of mine. Now I will say that my Shadow M takes the longest of all my caps to heat. Normal SS is faster than the Shadow SS. Which I think has something to do...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    When I woke up this morning I said to myself "You know, I haven't checked on the FC thread recently. I should see how everyone is doing." My FD has been functioning perfectly and amazingly. I have taken it everywhere with me and I haven't touched a lighter since I got it. There have been a...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    I did the same thing when I realized there was another option in the world other than fiddly lighters that always ran out right when I needed them most. That was what made the waiting hard. Was I wanted to get rid of my lighters so so so so badly.

    I am using the Sony VTC6 batteries from illumn for reference. They were my go to batteries back in the day of ecig mods, though the big thing on the market at the time was the vtc5s that had just come out. Regardless, this was a new set of 3 batteries since I wanted them to all charge together...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    I have found that with my usage. I can last about 2 days before needing to charge. I usually charge it a bit at night anyways. I usually do 2 caps in the morning before work. 2 caps at lunch in my car, and then 8 or so over the course of the night. That being said, after an entire day of that...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    No problem! Glad someone is enjoying my ramblings on about how much I love the darn thing. I took it with me on my lunch break today and it was fantastic. Not having to worry about a torch or fuel or anything in my car while I enjoyed a nice session is beyond awesome. I keep the FD with me and...

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    I think I will when I get home, what's the worst that can happen? I am the one who gets too toasted? lol I guess I didn't think to take into account that the internals are different and not just the size of the coil, looking at the internals of the two heaters, you are right there are some...
