    That classifieds hopper is a good bet. Get a GH for a reasonable price now, and by the time it fails (as @Icon13 mentions, it's likely enough to call that definite at this point), the $45 required to receive warranty will be a worthwhile expenditure (the value will seem justifiable, I think)...

    So just to confirm: no Ti version imminent and I should buy two SS? The chamber threads are SS on the Ti, only the front end has Ti threads. So the PFE will be buttery smooth comparably. I think I'll be getting two SS's anyways, PBW friendly and better scratch resistance against glass - not to...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    most chinese markets (also a lot of markets), from what I've observed at least, seem to be owned by few and have many facets of business. DHgate is like this, where there are multiple store accounts from much, much fewer sources. It's possible they are just trying to chase hype, but it is by no...

    Yeah that's totally normal, it's caused by the PWM (pulse width modulation) in the circuitry and is apparently one meaning/reason behind the name change from Zen Pen to Grasshopper This is just a standard temp spectrum for normal/safe operation of Li-ion batteries. HL recommend keeping the unit...

    Thanks for testing, I should have referenced your reddit post. So whatever the OEM charger does, it's either made to do a custom charging pattern specifically for the GH battery or it's an inferior option. Given that we don't know the battery chemistry there's no way to know, but we do know for...

    It is a fact that increased charging rate causes more degradation to the battery chemicals potential. However the extent that it affects the life span is unmeasured for the hoppers batteries, but the rated charge cycle is already quite bad. Whether or not that's important to the user is only...

    Counterfeit Glass

    The worst is when you order something requesting no label, and it arrives with a massive painted logo on it anyway. I don't understand why they don't at least use sandblasting more often, I guess the reality is they really don't care about quality and this is reflected with every purchase I've...

    It'll come back soon-ish, after they receive it and service it, and after I send it. It'll be a month at least and cost me a stick of weed haha. Then this one will die, hopefully it lasts a month. And yeah, I'm not purposely trying to kill my unit, quite the opposite in fact. However it seems...

    totally missing out, I left mine on accidentally before for about 10 minutes. I wrote a whole spiel but I lost it, it was a bit of a ramble so an appropriate loss. But my hopper is killing me right now, giving me clouds bordering combusting GH level, which are A grade quality. It's probably on...

    My hopper no longer auto times-out. If I click it on it seems to stay on indefinitely, I have noticed this a few times but kept forgetting about it as I'm always real hoppered when I leave it on. Just now I felt some heat in my hand after palming the hopper for about a minute, maybe more. It...

    You could always run a scotch brite pad over the temp dial section, I might even do this myself for the same reason ----- In true spirit of the hopper I got an adapter made up ready for the WPA in cop light

    Titanium oxidises in the air which forms a patina (the coloured grasshoppers are all specially conditioned titanium, causing either a uniform and etched, or a heat treated and polished finish). Unfortunately, the patina is generally very thin (extremely thin for the plain Ti's natural TiO2...

    Ti is easily reconditioned, it would make a lot of sense to recycle returned bodies, and if heat treating was the way they figured out how to do it, good on them. As long as the units work right? My concern is they've stepped back the power output, or . Who knows though, I need to RMA my blue...

    No worries man :) let us know how good it is! Do you think you could provide a pic of the outside screen side of the new WPA? I really want to understand what's going on in there and every picture thus far is just a tease. I want the full monty! I've read a few people having this issue lately...

    can you do a shot like the last pic but with the WPA? I want to see the outside of the screen, your vid made it look whack but it never focused on it, I couldn't tell if it was full of resin or had a ring of insulation around the outside edge.

    I might be wrong, but the example I'm thinking of is iPhone batteries, if you buy an iPhone battery off eBay, it's possible to get them with stickers that report the incorrect capacity, as a marketing ploy. If you look into it, to maintain the chemistry that the iPhone specifically requires, the...

    Unfortunately the capacity is limited by the dimensions. Inside the 12630 cylinder there is a specific chemistry that gives the desired characteristics of the power cell. If you wanted to double the capacity, the volume must also double. An 18650 battery has a vastly huger volume than a 12630...

    Well, that looks to be my solution. Truthfully I've never looked into it seriously, but when I did I couldn't find any. Does he sell them via eBay? Hopefully it goes well if you're taking on the walrus for the first time. It's pretty awesome with two different strains either side. The phase...
