Haha those gloves @Stevenski , I'll admit a couple of times where they'd come in handy with the SLX (sweaty hands with hyper-dense nugs filling the grinding chamber will do it, there's a lot of teeth in there). As long as the nugs are cured properly there's hardly any resistance though. And...

I didn't mean to compare the different contact surfaces, but rather the innately harmless nature of doing either thing. However, If you're usage warrants it, than extra steps to avoid potential risk are a great idea. Personally there's too much surface area between my ground joints and a...

When we were taught proper Quickfit (common brand of GonG manufacturer) glass joint practice at school, dust or silica contaminants were never brought up, only that if you're setting up a complex apparatus, where the joints get hot or might jam for another reason, you use grease to prevent...

Interesting topic. Was this guy selling food-safe platinum cured silicone o-rings in competition to GonGs? I'd bet his black rubber gasket rubbish poses more risk. Labs grease their glass joints so they don't stick. Joints that are dry and stick will produce negligible dust, but more...

Yeah, it is a bit. I didn't enquire about it, just decided to get it so hopefully it's worth something haha

Does anyone have the Ti PFE yet? (just checked reddit, and nope, no one does. Still out of stock, expected in the next fortnight) ... I finally got around to posting my hoppers away. Through AusPost it cost $30.45AUD (about 23 USD) to send three with another 3 spare bodies, a front and back...

HL touch on their QC in a new video, sounds like their warranty department could do with more stages though. They're making steps in the right direction, everyone wants leaps but they very much work to their own beat it seems

the hopper batteries are effectively 12630's 12650s are too long

I had problems with my first Xtar ebay purchase too (paid for and didn't get express postage). I didn't mind once I got the product, they're worth the price and more. In terms of faster rate charging, I don't think it will make a real noticeable difference, being that the cells are a bit random...

The Xtar MC1plus selects charge rate via cell length, meaning it charges the hopper batteries at an 18650 rate (1A). The original MC1 doesn't do this, and is better suited to the hopper batteries (or any thin, long li-ion cells). Nitecore is a decent manufacturer, but the tech specs of the Xtar...

Did you get a new serial number with the refreshed back end? Or have they just replaced components inside it? Either way that's a good change (digital switch over physical contact). I saw someone mention it on Reddit, I'm wondering if my units will come back like it...

the clip is removable, but only permanently. I read someone on reddit was trying to bend it to prevent scratches, and snapped it off. So be careful bending it (it's not actually that prone to breaking, but obviously take it easy). The unit will scratch in other places, if you really want to...

I was going to say good trade off with the vape over the grinder, but great choice picking up both ;) You won't regret it I bet

I'm pretty sure my top gasket is fixed in place, but from memory on the bottom section on the latest SLX grinders there's a loose gasket that is removable. It makes it easier to open/close the herb chamber (less twists with it in place), mine never came with it though, and the difference is...

The AMA should be interesting. HopperLabs product reps presence on Reddit has been already. Just saw this, thought I may as well share it here: "More PFEs and TI PFEs are scheduled for delivery by the end of the week" Pretty keen for some TionG

in the future it will be more expensive to fill glass than buy!

I still haven't posted my hoppers away, been busy and keep missing the PO open hours, but in the mean time I've also added one to the parcel ready to go (my friends GH from another city, 8 months old (with old style cop lights, so it still works every now and then, one of many things that has...

The SLX creates a finer grind with drier material. Boveda 62% humidi-packs in jars with bud speeds the curing process up a bunch, and dryer herb means more concentration of actives in the vapour. Otherwise, upside-down grinding with the SLX is fine, I don't do it often but the few times I have...

Haha, yes. I mean, I agreed with your point of view twice there so I'm not arguing with you at all, but really I couldn't resist some follow up to the literal claims made that I don't agree with for the reasons I stated :p Valid for everyone's consideration, but not intended to instigate back...

Are any of the batteries new? The only thing I've seen HL mention about a benefit between GHB versions is the charge cycle rating, GHB1s were 100-200, GHB2s are 150-250. The batteries will continue to be mixed bin lots, meaning there's a small gamble for quality. I'm not sure I've noticed any...
