    I'm not sure what you meant by tying Cognitive Dissonance to electron flow, but your point about the parallel to the Hopper is basically what I was eluding to. "Choke point" is an excellent term to use in this case; high current (greater than 1 amp from a small battery, no less) needs an ideal...

    Dude!! :tup: So I went shopping and found these: A MUST HAVE in my book! I love this place. D'aawwww

    Thank you again! I have asked GHL about the clicking and I'll certainly post the response for everyone. Wish there was a "tool" to make cleaning that inside contact easy. I don't trust myself with a cotton swab. :rofl:

    OK, so that's two of us.... :rockon: lol I sent an email to GHL asking about this as well. EDIT: MoltenTiger, thanks... the clicking is a good sign? It didn't click for several days when it was brand new; why wouldn't it have been clicking all along? Am I misunderstanding your statement...

    Thanks Vapor_Eyes! So I just had those two more things happen (first time so far): 1) Red lights flashed when I gently tapped the housing while it was upside-down to ABV out of the chamber. I've done this frequently, but this is the first occurrence. 2) Rapid clicking sound during...

    I actually agree about the choosing not to believe about monster cables and coat hangers. I myself cannot tell the difference. Ok so it's settled: dirty contacts suck. Watch for them and keep them clean.

    That Reddit post headlines with "3.7 V, 25 Amps". That has to be a typo. That's a 100 Watt battery! As for the gold, I suppose it wouldn't make a difference, but I still think drawing that much current to the heater so quickly must have presented conductivity issues (over the entire circuit...

    I've been noticing that inconsistent flashing blue as well; thanks for the possible solution on my end. On this issue, I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I've accidentally turned the temp dial when I'm absent-mindedly attempting to unscrew the backend. After I berate myself...

    Every day, observing how the hopper works.... The latest observation is that when the flashing red lights start, the hopper continues to work, BUT not at the same intensity. I was able to extract more vapor from a fresh battery after having observed flashing reds during the previous use on the...

    Hey thanks! That's a nice case!

    So does anyone know if GHL will ever make good on that Stainless Steel case? I ordered one when I ordered my hopper but obviously it's "unavailable". What gives there?? In lieu of that, does anyone have any suggestions for such a type of case, like a cigar tube, except lined with something...

    Thanks, Baron23, I did buy the doob tubes because I liked the black color (are they different than regular ones??), as well as the leather case and battery caddies. I guess the funnel will be necessary and easier to do the loading... Silly of me, because a while ago I bought the funnel for the...

    Alright! So after another day or so of trials, I have concluded that I love this thing :love: I bought three: one grey Titanium for myself, one purple Titanium for a friend, and one Titanium, just in case either one of the first two takes a crap. For my friend's, I'll just say it seems to be...

    Yes, indeedy, Sea.... I just discovered this, - about a minute before your post! :haw: You really do have to draw quite differently than the Pax I've been so used to. Gotta be the boss of the thing. Heheh The only gotcha is that, at any moment, I get that hot mouthpiece singed-lip feeling (no...

    Does anyone know what rapidly flashing blue lights mean? After turning it on and it heats up, it goes blue, and then every second the blue flashes about three or four times, rapidly... Doesn't seem to affect the performance, but it wasn't doing that for the first couple of days that I've had...

    I have just given my new hopper a few hours of trials, and in spite of thinking I would understand exactly how to use it since I've spent an entire year waiting for it, I'm having very similar experiences as @Justpassedu has expressed very well, so I'll reference it below rather than position it...

    Thank you, Baron23... Actually I have a set of these which I'd bought when I got my Pax(es)... I found them to be too scratchy for running through the long stem of the Pax, but maybe they'll come in handy for gentler use on the hopper.

    My hopper will be arriving today, and as many of you, I've been getting ready for it like an expectant father... I look forward to being a valid contributor of do's and don'ts for Hopper use... In the meanwhile.... Would those "dental brushes" that you buy in packs of 10 or 20 work as well as...

    Today is the day my GH will be delivered, according to the USPS tracking info. Of course, I'm leaving town in an hour for 2 days. Luckily I can have it signed for, but doesn't it just figure!?!? :shrug:

    Indeed, sir. I was thinking exactly that; it's quite possible many of the backends only needed some attention to cure the hot backend problem. Although I would hope that the issue itself triggered a QA response to reduce the likelihood of it happening in the first place. And I'd like to...
