    And I am advising you to be very wary purchasing a $140+ product from a company that is not interested in the contents or accuracy of the first public review of that product. A review written by someone they had invited into their headquarters, spent several days with, and purposely seeded with...

    He is one of the few people who was given a pre-production unit and wrote one of the first reviews, if not the first review of their product. I would personally find it very difficult to believe that Trevor and the rest of the team would have ignored that review and the subsequent discussion...

    What, Trevor didn't read Buzz's review? Never read this thread? Never had an opportunity to discuss the issue with anyone in the past 2 months?

    Buzz, did they, or did they not tell you the mouthpiece would be included?

    I'm not surprised. That's why McDonalds trains their pimply faced counter people to always ask "Do you want fries with that? How about supersizing that order?" https://conveniencestorenews.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/increasing-sales-with-add-on-purchases-3/ It's a back-door price increase...

    If you think about it, it's kind of a "no brainer" that you'd want the option to have a mouthpiece between your lips and that bare metal. I mean, it's cute that it looks like a pen, but most "pens" don't have ovens inside them which heat up to 410 degrees.... If they hadn't originally offered...

    I'll believe it when I get mine. You know, what is really ironic here is that I'd frankly be much better off with the Silicon piece so I could use my Grasshopper with my Bubblers than an extra battery. I mean, it already comes with a battery. It would have been nice to have a spare, but not a...

    Yes, we were told that it would be included free. So, now my Grasshopper will not fit in the bubblers I already purchased unless I pay an additional $5? Jerks! :rant: People should write to Trevor and complain about this!

    Maybe for the charger? Also, given that you've got 45 watts of power sitting an inch from your lips, you'd think there would be some safety compliances (but I guess the Gov. doesn't regulate that aspect?)

    The Grasshopper

    Yeah, when something hurts, or I need to de-stress, I take a hit or two, and I'm good for a while. I can still work, too. More than that would be counter-productive. Sitting there watching my Solo's lights slowly inch up is annoying and uncomfortable. A Grasshopper is *just* what I need...

    The Grasshopper

    Yeah, kinda. You are putting heat into the thing, and taking it it again, either by using it for vaporizing, or losing it in some other way. The more heat the thing can hold, and the slower it gets lost, the less frequently you need to add more heat. My Solo's oven can hold a lot of heat...

    What, you never saw a mini with leather seats? Leather wrapped steering wheel? I'm telling yah, a GH is EXACTLY like a Mini Cooper S. And I want mine with a Union Jack paint job, too! :brow:

    If the only way to control the speed was to switch the engine either full on or off, it would. The reason you need to switch the heater either full on or off is because of Ohm's law v=i*r and power = v*i. You see, if you tried to regulate the heater's power linearly using a semi-conductor, by...

    A Cooper S, perhaps? Anyway, pick your favorite sports car. :cool:

    OK, that is because the solo has a lot of thermal inertia, and a weak heater. Kind of like a VW Van or something. Takes a while to get going, takes a while to stop. A Grasshopper is kind like a Mini-Cooper. Fairly strong engine, low mass. Quick and nimble. Which sounds like more fun to drive?

    Granted, but you still need to unscrew and screw it to load and clean the herbs.

    I'm lazy. I fully admit it. Besides which, if one is frequently screwing and unscrewing something, there is the potential to jam the threads. Even strip it. If that happened to my pen, I'd toss it. No big deal. But, most pens don't cost $135+.
