    Brilliant Cut Grinder

    A quick soak or dunk would be fine. I misread drying overnight as soaking overnight, which might not be a problem either but you never know.

    It's definitely a must to be able to turn it off mid draw with the current hopper, and I bet even more so with a 65W and new geometry heater powering it. But it would be really neat if on the second click it entered a draw detection mode

    Knurling looks good!

    Pretty sure soaking in IPA (isopropyl alcohol) could affect the anodised finish and is not recommended with the BCG A soft bristle toothbrush and some IPA and scrubbing will do wonders, I assume. In 3 days my BCG turns 1 year old, and I've decided it's time for its first wash. It has been an...

    yeah, using it as described on the OEM site, it is totally fine and doesn't need cooling (although it's always an option) I typically hit my hopper for longer than 20 seconds, so I nearly always add cooling. And with so many options due to the 14mm tapered fitting PFE, it couldn't be any...

    Pics would be great. Video would be best :) Can't wait to see all the new things you have for the future

    I have been fortunate to have avoided the periods where things were particularly bad. Buying units in 2015, 2016 and 2018 was a good choice, late 2017 was a bad year for new units and I avoided that, which was lucky in a sense. I bought again in 2018 to get the new HL made heater, to take...

    definitely happy with my purchases so far, and the next version is going to be awesome. People will still be giving money to companies who sold out to big investment dealers, who end up releasing products that are very questionable and causing serious potential health detriments. At least when...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Thanks, I have received an automated email giving a ticket number. I will have to hunt down a power supply, I'd rather avoid any extra parts. Thanks for the specs What model have you opted for? An option with an IEC connector would be nice

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    I'm interested in the whole assembly. I tried placing a pre-order a couple days back when the threading was confirmed for the io, had some issues and two payments were processed. Sent an email and waiting to hear back :) Appreciate the offering, but the total package looks too good to pass up...

    If you clean/soak the standard front end often you would probably avoid the build up. I clean infrequently and so I would expect to find some residue in my front ends after a quick rinse to clean up the screen, but I don't use them often so it wouldn't be bad. I find the PFE easier to clean...

    1. I can deal with that. Can you upgrade my HT unit? Especially interested because that is my favourite unit. With the back end, you mentioned injection molding the temp indicators (?) Is it possible to do this with an old unit to retain the psychedelic finish on the dial? 2. Dope. Good choice...

    I agree that the io does sound super. Very much so. Having used super charged Grasshopper V1s (combusting units, and units obviously running @ >210°C) this is going to make some waves. I think most would be happy if what you say is true, that older units can be converted to the newer version...

    Can you reduce the amount of thread turns so swapping batteries is easier? Are you using the same SMD dual LED in the IO? Could you include a battery level indication? If the red light is used solely for charging indication (because of the 'instant on', which should be straight to green), say...

    Over new years, I got to introduce the hopper to a G-Pen and volcano user. A grasshopper is some very enjoyable tech to show off. Definitely one of my favourite things in the world. For what it does I really owe it to the creators, being able to quit tobacco with ease has been something that...

    A few bugs that go oh so well together :cheers: My phone does actually have a 3.5mm jack, and I hate how many newer models have removed I/O capability without replacing it with anything, expecting users to opt for shorter lifespan throwaway tech like AirPods which put radio antennas inside the...

    Happy thou Merry Christmas 2020 look out Love how the hopper does it's thing. I forgot my Xtar and bubbler whilst away this time over the holidays, magnet ring to the rescue. Goes alright but, I do miss the external charger. After blue blinking lights I switched the cell over to my TiDye HT and...

    yes, this could be of some practical use despite how clunky the set up would be comparatively to a GHB2. And I don't know, I'm always too critical. Perhaps the last sentence is all I needed to add to the existing conversation.

    yeah for a 3rd party company to jump on board the bandwagon and start charging pre-orders for a vague and simple development, it's a little dismissive to ignore an interesting question made public by the OEM and to spout someone else's (?) frustration in reply. Sure, some assumption could be...

    Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit (and 18650)

    Sounds great, a must have accessory. Having a constant 4.2V source will be a nice improvement I think! And the XT30 allows for some interesting options for sure. USB-C would be really cool, but probably not a real improvement, the simple 2 pin from the battery will do the job. I can vouch for...
