    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Look I did expect and deserve it haha :) Maybe I can say that the io outperforms my mains powered adaptered legacy with the io using any of my GHBs, and then powering the io with the sled outperforms all but two of my cells. Getting new batteries probably won't outperform the sled just better...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Haha, yep I have made some anti-18650 hopper comments. Mostly they have been aimed at the concept of making a fat tube which is beyond 18mm dia. and won't sleekly interface with glass, hands or mouths. I still think for actual portable use I'll be mostly using GHBs and especially once I get...

    I don't really use the magnetic charger so I'm not that familiar with it. But I think that once the charger is 'initialised' ie. Working one way or another, then you don't need to replug the USB-A end when using the same set up. If you switch to a different outlet or attach a different unit to...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    This Samsung 25R is powering the io like an absolute champ - so too is the LG HG2 and maybe better, holding 4.2V through multiple tokes with massive clouds... Absolutely ripped. 2500mAh, in theory that could be the equivalent of 5 new GHB1s and probably even more capacity than my 5 GHB2s in...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Perfectly described, thanks dude :) thats exactly what's going on. Getting stuff from China atm has been a bit of a mixed bag. Like I bought 5 of a specific type of dual colour push button from Alibaba last month and finally it arrives, and two are the wrong voltage and only single colour, and...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    It could be just that the positive pin is too far recessed in its plastic casing with my sled. Plastic protrudes further than metal, hence flat tops aren't going to make contact. I might also have a different TH component sled that is meant for button cells

    It's just one of those things that happen when outsourcing parts. This is basically a side-project, and it's received an awesome development considering. However this is the cost of rapid prototype-is-retail-item delivery. Even geniuses make mistakes, this one is at least super easy to fix A...

    Hopper io Shipping Discussion

    USPS had troubles before this, especially in Chicago. The current situation has majorly excarbated the hold ups to a point of overwhelming the system and likely everyone in it, the poor souls. When I was waiting 3 months for them to ship my io I did a bit of reading and there are some real...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Ran out of edit. I've done a tiny bit more tinkering. No luck on the USB-C front. It behaves like the io with the included mains power supply. It gets power and lights up for a second before conking out and powering off. I'll have to get a 12V10A mains PSU soon. I should make it clear that so...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Just picked up the adapter kit. It's awesome. Havent had much of a chance to test it, but fired up a legacy from the PSU and a battery and it rips. The battery sled doesn't fit my 18650s as they are flat tops so I had to bridge the connection to get it working. About to pop into work to grab...

    I think I bought that tank in 2014, and indeed the Aspire drip tip fits the PFE perfectly For wooden options I'd talk to @Ed's TnT

    No problem. I hope your batteries are okay, I've burnt through enough to appreciate being more careful by just using the Xtar MC2 for the past few years. My first charger cost me 3x as much, charged at 1A and ate through a bunch of GHB1s before I came to my senses and did the research needed to...

    No it's not as good. It is otherwise a good looking charger, however it is best suited for larger capacity cells but it could be used carefully to good result. The main concern I have is the charge current to a 4.2V cell. VC2 Measurements When charging the last digit in the capacity displays...

    They look like orbeez or whatever, little polymer balls that swell with water and greatly expand in size. Actually would be an interesting addition to a vape piece. Google says they are "made of acrylic acid, sodium hydroxide and water, to which color pigmentation is added to give more variety...

    It's seems to be happening to HT002xx pre-release units And it is a bit silly. The click is loud for a stealth vape, and all it is is a power button. It's an example of where building something without any off-the-shelf parts could fairly be considered an unnecessary hassle. It does the job...

    I guess you've tried replugging the USB-A side with the magnetic ring attached to the unit? Sometimes it takes this extra step to begin the charge cycle

    I got another email 5 days after, with yet another tracking number. This consignment has already made it to Aus and through customs in just 3 days, with a 'scheduled delivery' of next thursday 30th reported the whole time. Heaps better than USPS, but not sure what's going on with the shipment...

    Good to hear dude, I hope you get a golden egg and can chill in peace as if the shadier times never happened, sometime soon. The shadows prove the sunshine. If the legacy unit was what it took to cause the io to be, well then so fucken be it I say. This thing is just amazing, unimaginable to...
