    I'm getting the same issue. It looks like a SSL cert expired and no one has refreshed it. Now was it an intentional drop or not is the question.

    I just bought a SS hopper off of Reddit (great deal) so I can have a backup. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. I guess I just can't get over how good the Hopper works when it is working. Still loving my Ti right now and is basically my daily driver, hasn't given me any problems.

    This was more or less my experience with them since May when I bought mine. It's been a long road, but the body I have on my Hopper now ( a v5 ) is working amazingly and hasn't dropped in performance at all since I got it. I am hoping this means that HL is back on the upswing, because there...

    Worst feeling in the world is taking a great hit from glass, and then all of a sudden everything turns yellow and your heart sinks. I have only come dangerously close once, but it was for sure my fault with this unit. I kept hitting it at 5 even though I knew it was cached out. Just wanted to...

    I only have the one back end unfortunately. :( @newVaper420 that sounds a lot more like my experience right now. The clicking is audable but not that loud, just barely. Like I said, I’m not babying the thing, I’m hammering it hard right now seeing if I can break the ‘new’ body. So far I...

    I haven't had 3 version of the "new" v5 body. I had 3 versions of the old body before they told me to wait a tick until the v5 had come out. I have had only the single v5 body and I have had no problems with it thus far. Just for clarities sake. My "new" body (the v5) is working very well for me...

    Well remember that this is kind of an echo chamber in the sense that we are all coming here looking for answers to a problem we are all having. There may be tons of users out there that have no reason to check this forum because everything is going swimingly for them. But there are a lot of...

    I have a funnel from Delta3D that I use. I also use the scooper from them as well. Usually a scoop or two and then I pat it down into the chamber. I don't cram it in there, but I make sure that the space is well utilized. I dial it to 4.5 set it in the piece and then turn it on. Once it hits...

    @newVaper420 That blows. When I use 5 on mine, I can basically clear the bowl through my larger bong in one or 2 hits. I think if I was to push it to a 3rd pull I might get close to combustion. But I can't use 5 without water because it is too strong. I haven't gone past 4 without water.

    So far mine is working fine, but at first i was getting some hot back end issues from time to time. So I checked the connection between the body and the back end and something didn't look right. I took a closer look at the top edge of the body and realized there was a piece of flash metal on...

    After 1 week update: I have been using the Hoppper all week since I got it. I have barely used anything else except for my Mighty when I was passing it back and forth with some friends. I have used it on 2 - 5 for different things. Works amazing on my glass, and is giving me perfect hits on 3...

    I think the backend is very sensitive to any kind of patina forming on it. When I change the battery I just swap the top with some alcohol before putting the new battery in. I'm thinking of getting maybe the smallest deb of brasso to clean the contact, but I want to do more research into what...

    Yeah man, I'm right there with you. Bought the thing in April and finally have a working one in October. 225 for the SS version doesn't seem so bad honestly for such an amazing device. I wouldn't mind having a second in rotation if the reliability continues. Also means I will probably be buying...

    I just used mine for my morning session before work, and goddamn there isn't anything better. I hope these positive posts aren't coming across as bragging or making anyone feel bad. That isn't the intention at all, just trying to give you all some hope that the wonderful device that has us all...

    The V5 body that I have is from buying the spare body on the site. I have my original body and it is for sure busted, but I don't want to send in the entire unit and lose the back end that I know is working right. Maybe when all this blows over I'll send it in....after I buy a backup hopper lol

    So far this is me too. I haven't gone over 4 except for when I wanted to basically clear the bowl in one shot through my glass. But other than that, it has been sitting pretty at 3. I get so many hits I'm consistantly surprised. My other hoppers would give me 3 maybe 4 hits, because they were...

    Alright, I have had my V5 body since Saturday. Since then I have not used any other vapes except for the Hopper. I have used it through Glass, I have used it native, I have used it all the way through a battery, I have charged it with the charger and the nitecore charger I have. I have found...

    Ok. I’ve been hammering this Hopper all day since I pulled it out of the package. So far guys, this is the best Hopper I’ve used. Huge hits. No combustion even on 5. It’s absolutely wonderful. Let’s see how long it lasts, but so far I’m going to have to agree with everyone else that has v5 so...

    My V5 body is coming in today. I will post a status report once I get a few bowls through it. I’m hoping that it will be as awesome as others are saying it is. :)

    Got shipping notification for my V5 body. Should be here in a few days, I'm crossing my fingers like hell that it works.
