    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I had a very similar experience. I bought a total of 5 spare batteries. One of the batteries acted strangely when I put it on my Nitecore D4. The charger would not recognize it at all. I tried to re-position it and still nothing. I removed it completely, then tried it in a different slot and the...

    Pen Focus Vaporizer

    Sorry but I don't really have any scientific means of quantifying the amount that the pods hold. I can only say that it is a fraction of the amount that the oven holds (I know, a "fraction" can mean just about anything). It's a very small amount. I'm not sure that I would feel comfortable...

    Pen Focus Vaporizer

    I received the Dry Material Pods from PIU today. Each pod consists of two symmetrical metal screen baskets which join to form a "pod". They are very small and fit in the bowl of the Focus Pro with room to spare. In fact you can place one in the oven, screw the cap onto the vape, and hear the...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    I've had my black FF2 since late April. To me it is a moderate improvement over the FF1. I can get a satisfying amount of vapor from it more consistently than I can with my FF1s, but it still requires attention to technique and STIRRING...lots of STIRRING. The one thing I seem to need to do...

    I received a response from Caroline this morning, stating that my batteries would be shipped today. :)

    I am in the same boat as other posters here. I have a January 2016 pre-order for a Ti Hopper, but I also have a SS Hopper that I bought from an Ebay seller. On 7/20 I placed an order for 3 extra batteries and have not heard anything from GHL. I e-mailed support@grasshoppervape.com about my order...

    Pen Focus Vaporizer

    I have a black textured Focus Pro that I ordered from PIU. I did a couple of burn-offs and I don't notice any unusually strong taste or odor when using this vape. I checked for light coming through the oven and saw absolutely nothing. My first impressions are somewhat disappointing. I really...

    Pen Focus Vaporizer

    I just received my Focus Pro from PIU (ordered Wednesday). Great service from PIU! Buyers/potential buyers NOTE: there was no external charger included in the package. There is a mini-USB cable included. Also when I unscrewed the mouthpiece I found the ceramic "puck", small metal screen and...

    Thank you. Yes there is a gap between the temp dial and the rest of the back end on my SS unit. Pushing the temp dial down does make it much easier to turn. Oddly enough, after pushing the dial down and turning it several times I turned it on and heard the "clicking" sounds for the first time...

    I would describe turning my temp dial as "difficult". It takes quite a bit of effort, it does not spin easily at all. Does anyone else have this experience? My GH is working perfectly, and I don't really need to change the temp setting. I think I want to leave it be since it's working so well...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I got tired of waiting for my January 2016 Ti pre-order to ship so I purchased a SS unit from an ebay seller. I've since ordered 3 spare batteries, a Nitecore D4 charger, and a Livescribe pen case for it (obviously I've gone all-in on this one!). After a minimal learning curve I've managed to...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    Received my black FF2 today! I ordered on 2/29. Much smaller and lighter than I anticipated. Seems well built One battery charged, the second now charging. I'm using my external charger from FF1. I don't think I'll be using the charging dock much, if at all, but I was also disappointed that...

    I wouldn't call it "easy" to put back together. You have to line things up just right. There are plenty of other FC members who have done it, so you might get some tips from them. I didn't notice anything loose when I opened it.

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    I don't know if this is relevant but... Before I started using different screens in my Fireflies (7 hole Iolite screen in one, Arizer basket/dome screen in the other) I experienced combustion a few times. I mean real combustion with visible flame light and acrid smoke. I noticed that once the...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    Consider this: You can use Arizer basket screens instead of the screen included with the Firefly. Purchase several of them and fill each with a different strain. You could actually swap them out when you want to change strains. You don't have to finish the basket each time, just take the number...

    Thanks for the tips! You've got me thinking more about how to treat my new 770 mAH batteries. I've left one of them fully charged in my drawer. Will go home tonight and use it for one session before putting it back in the drawer. I will also not hesitate to recharge my batteries before I see the...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    I bought my first Firefly in February 2014. Bought a second one, along with a spare battery and external charger, in March 2014. The second unit I bought failed and was replaced in November 2014, so I received a fourth battery in November 2014. None of the four 750 mAH batteries I have hold...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    I had four of the 750 mah batteries (2 FFs) and generally needed to swap them out each time I used the FF. Each of my sessions is 2-3 hits. I have the external charger. I was constantly seeing the "red light", constantly charging and swapping batteries. Getting maybe 3-4 hits out of each...

    Did anyone notice that he assembled it incorrectly? He placed the small black o-ring beneath the metal plate (see 6:12). It is supposed to be above the metal plate, surrounding the screen. That way it prevents material from working its way around the screen and into the heating chamber. :uhoh:
