    I don't see how ISO could cause a hot spot in metal, but anything's possible. Have you removed the element from this one? Maybe one of the heaters is a little too close to the tube wall. I doubt you're talking about heat coming out thru the intake holes, obviously the IO's powerful heating...

    It's charging great! In two weeks my IO will be a year old. Nothing can go wrong now... Edit:. My new GHB3 must have been totally depleted. It took three full (undisturbed) hours to charge.

    I'm an idiot. My charger didn't fail it was the UL approved USB charger/adapter that failed. That was a pleasant surprise. The IO lives. Just got a killer hit.

    I wouldn't recommend stirring. The chamber is to small. It's designed so that hot air reaches most of the weed. You will prolly push fines down into the heating element if you disturb the load once in the chamber. I wouldn't pack it in, but just fill it to the brim and get after it. I start on...

    I'm really hooked on the continuous heavy hits, the convenience, the efficiency and the stealth of the IO. I also find myself making improvements on the health front while continuously stoned. In addition to walking away from several bad habits, strong vapor seems to be moving me towards an...

    Anybody have any info concerning the economic health of HLs? I can't find any info. I would really like to see an annual sales chart.

    I always use mine natively as well, if that means putting my nasty lips directly on it. I worry that I won't be able to judge when to shut it off if I put any sort of buffer in between, like a bubbler. I used to call those a supercharger, although it looks kinda like a bong. Super chargers...

    My favorite subject...🤑 I'm probably the most frugal io user on this site in that I always get 11-12 pleasurable hits per bowl. I probably got an average of 8-9 hits with the OGs. I'm not trying to make big clouds, and I don't like to cough, but I'm getting good hits with plenty of vapor...

    I mentioned some of the figures I posted up above were miscalculations. After corrections, 5 of my normal 11 hits/load are at temperatures either below or above the temperature range of the OG. My only point is that the expanded range of the io works great. I also agree that a fresh load on...

    I made a significant math error with one sentence posted this morning. NBD but wanted to correct it. The OG had a range of 144°, the io has a 210°F range. Definitely was stoned when I posted, like always.

    The original GH temperature range was 266° to 410°F. The io ranges from 220° to 430°F, the range was expanded in both directions. The OG had a 44° range, the io has a 110° range. I'm getting excellent hits at both extremes with the io, so the expanded range was an excellent improvement. No...

    It's nice to see a rare blue titanium io in action. Everyone uses them differently. I enjoy the stealth aspect, and the portability of the basic pen. I carry my SS io in my pocket pretty often, even if just hanging around the house. The original mouthpiece is perfect for me. It only gets hot...

    I ordered a battery a few weeks ago and received it in 7 days. The order status was never updated so it was a surprise when it arrived. My io came with a GHB2 last August. There was a note that said some of the first GBH3s were incorrectly labeled as GHB2s, but that sounds like BS. I...

    HL could probably adapt their existing methodology to a larger desktop convection (corded) session vaporizer if they tried. You could load a gram and knock yourself out, literally.

    How many times throughout the day do you vape?

    Aah! I remember it fondly. Could only come up with a joint a day on average, and the weed was weaker, so was sober most of the time. Not sure why, but the nightly objective was to get shit-faced, which could include confused, paranoid and maybe just laughing like an idiot. I remember...

    I've learned some interesting things in this thread, especially about HLs. I was blissfully ignorant concerning HLs PR and SQ problems before coming here. It's odd to be having good luck with my io (and other GHs before that), and read posts from other happy users, mixed with posts from others...

    Everyone uses the io a little differently. I suspect some folks only get a few hits per day, others might be using multiple ounces per month. In my case, I've enjoyed it immensely, and continuously for 10.5 months, except for three weeks of warrantied downtime, but the total throughput during...

    One year for you might be equivalent to several for a light-weight like me, considering I'm only getting 15-16 hits/day from ~0.3 g. Also, Since I'm getting 11 hits/load, my individual hits are probably a little less vaporous. I'm wondering if the glass bong thingy causes any extra wear and...

    Welcome back! I'm a newbie at FC but have been a weed-burner for half a century. Have been vaping (mostly) for ~12 years. Found your comments especially interesting because of my recent experience. I'm finding that regular vaping, averaging 15-16 hits with the grasshopper io per day, has...

    It's nice that you're getting by with it as is. Combustion on level 3 1/2 sounds like the temperature must be way out of spec. Don't see how HL could adjust the heating element range, maybe the backend is a rheostat and can be adjusted to lower the range. Will it combust if you use it without...
