    No problem, cheers :) Not able to load that image it seems, but I always recommend the Xtar MC2 for charging hopper cells. Especially with the recent abundance of cation floating around, this particular charger has excellent overcharge protection and should reduce any risk to the greatest degree.

    It's got good flavour and a great terpene profile, especially at lower temps, but it doesn't last all too long. It's not the tastiest unit, but it does a good enough job for me. It's tastier than some and not as tasty as others. But if there's one thing, you can just about tell when the bowl is...

    Yeah I've been following this since 2015 with keen interest. Back then I was wanting to design an induction based vaporiser, but didn't really know what I was doing. I had just started to quit smoking and the Arizer EQ was my daily driver. I was impressed by that thing, and similar to Matt...

    There are many differences between different age units, looking into the battery chamber or the herb chamber will reveal some of these. The herb chamber began with a blue heater shield with exposed sensor, this is the era of the cop lights and high failure rate. This 3rd party heater assembly...

    well then, continue to be eluded. It's your loss. I'm tempted to put my money where my mouth is and adapt an LG HG2 to the hopper using a dowel and rod. 18650 hopper, why do you want this? Peak draw rate is ideal. Once a cell is half deplete you get better performance out of a fresh one even...

    I guess I’m more of a 4-8 tokes at 15-35s for 4x 0.12g chambers, but it isn’t exactly consistent and I don’t ever really think about it. As long as the task at hand is done and the effects aren't lacking, it really doesn't matter hey! I spent a few days off the Sublimator and cannabis entirely...

    I’d say a rough average would be around 3 chambers per charge cycle, given all the different variabilities; chamber size, moisture content, usage patterns, temp selection, age, as well as device internal resistances and the cell itself, it will always vary. Getting one chamber per charge is a...

    Well it is definitely not a stretch to have the hopper heater tech on higher capacity power storage, but the voltage dip and larger size and charge times will make it more cumbersome IMO. 510 firmware means a dedicated device would be just as simple given HLs core are hardware devs. I don’t...

    Perhaps, but the way I consider it; what the hopper does with 750mAh is unlike anything else by a good margin. I’m refilling the chamber much more than replacing batteries and I only charge externally. Having to carry bud is a given when extra capacity is considered, so if already carrying a...

    This is basically what the GH is to a T, but it's more like a decent home cordless (maybe the best?) and a very good pocketable (maybe the best, if it never fails, although the signature without any added cooling is polarising). Home/desktop units can further push the heating dynamics into...

    PBW can discolour the anodised Ti finish, but the plain Ti front ends clean up perfectly with PBW. I normally fill a shot glass with at most a 1/4 tsp PBW and boiling water then rinse the front ends under a hot tap and drop them in the glass for a few mins. They stay cleaner longer than just...

    These custom cells are made and sold for the GH device, the whole batch just gets the blue GHB2 wrappers, and all that pass a capacity test threshold are being sent as part of the order quantity to HL, and then eventually passed on to an end user. If the mAh tolerance is tighter than with...

    you should replace that bung with the hopper! :rockon:

    AFAIK it's the property of thread galling that causes the gritty and friction resistance when assembling the Ti threads. SS also suffers from this, but not to the same extent that a Ti-Ti thread interface has or in the case of the GH the SS-Ti interfaces. The front threading of the chamber is...

    Pretty exciting times! Glad things are finally panning out, I've been waiting for this the whole time. People here should own this device, but the device should work for a respectable period, and after many little issues I've now been trouble free since '18. The tides have changed IMO. Well done...

    I don't even really use the standard mouthpiece. It is quite nice for a change but I rarely do it. Did you get a PFE?

    It's not isolated. The air intake holes are situated directly around the PCB, however the device has a safety limit on the internal temp. I haven't had a device show the overheat lights since many iterations ago in 2016. A bit before that I had a device sensor failure which would lead to...

    I am not at all interested in a 'connected' vape. The only one that interests me is the new Sublimator controllers with wifi and Bluetooth connectivity - simply to power it remotely as there's a 20 min wait for the heat up. The GH doesn't have this problem, nor do working units have any...

    I'm looking for a new stealthy on demand vape

    Definitely worth approaching with some caution, but I haven’t had any issues with HLs latest in-house printed heaters. It’s been almost a couple of years since I got my first one and nearly just a single year with two returned from warranty with the newer design, so far. A stark contrast to the...

    That Timber Elite does look really decent with its coil heater and inbuilt mod. It's quite bulky, but pretty cool looking. If I had any need for another vape..
