    I think they're more for using batteries in 18650 sized chargers, with an external charger it's best to stretch the spring contact all the way by hand before inserting the battery. This will be the same with or without the sleeves. The sleeves will make it fit better, but the main risk is...

    My unit did this a while ago, it didn't recover and HL replaced it. Tell them it happens even when you hold the button down for 10+ seconds. That should get them sending a replacement to you asap Haha what a rollercoaster of a post :) I think you will very much enjoy your first "kief coaster"...

    I could never get shovelling with the hopper to work for me. I generally used to load it by holding it above my grinder and pinching in tiny bits 3 or 4 times. It was something I never really enjoyed. I am really enjoying the feeder, beyond what I expected. I bought it for seshing on the go, but...

    Fair enough, it is definitely not stealthy to store bud in it. I can get away with mild smell during my sessions, I usually exhale openly. So the extra smell isn't much of an issue for me, but it is something to be aware of with the product

    yes, it is more smelly than the hopper itself. It's not as bad as an open bag, but it is not air tight so leaks smell easily. I've just ground up some nicer material to put in it... Now it's full of stank, there is obvious smell around the door and a tiny bit from the piston. It's far, far...

    So far I really like it. It definitely keeps the threads cleaner compared to my normal loading style. It's a little hard to know how well its working though, as there's no visual feedback until it's done. Generally it seems to pack fairly consistently, and ends up being more conservative than I...

    How are your batteries going? Do you charge with the included charger? I'm just wondering as my batteries are worse for wear.. I'd like to see in the (GH2) -backlit temp gauge -battery life indicator -better battery life -included mouthpiece extender -better silicone adapters, possibly...

    It will oxidise in air, so storing it in a sealed container with minimal airspace is the best way to store it long term. It has pretty noticeable degradation, it loses its pliability and discolours over time. It can last years, though it is noticeably different, even after a few months. After...

    It has replaced my desktop, and any want for a different desktop. It is innovative, but not perfect. There are limitations to its design; power, smooth vapour, durability. Bearable downsides, but worth considering. A fair point, and I certainly have a neat collection of cases now, but they've...

    This was my main sentiment tbh. I feel like they must be refurbishing parts, otherwise the costs would be astronomical with no one fronting it.. There is plenty of device variance at this point. It's important to consider the rate of production and the continual developments we are seeing. Not...

    I'm loving having a working hopper. It's a bit of a mismatch over here atm, I stripped the mouthpiece threads on my blue unit last night. They poorly matched with the replaced body, and I guess it just gave way. Already sorted, HL've chucked a new one in my incoming order, and I've officially...

    They have really dropped the ball with their accessories. I think we'll hear something about them next monthly update. New back-end on the way, "Please return all duplicate parts together." Pretty happy with that, though I feel like I'm getting a lot more than I paid for...

    I received my replacement blue body finally. It was repackaged, and I could see the hopper clearly from the outside... which IMO is pretty unacceptable, but Auspost just left it in my letterbox and ran off. It got stuck in their conveyor belt, or something, and the initial packaging had been...

    I have two dead batteries, and a few others that seem pretty near-death, and two that are average. The near-death batteries won't hold charge for long and do what you're describing. The batteries are only rated 100-200 charge cycles, which is quickly clocked up all things considered. Sorry you...

    When it was first brought up (deoxit and conductive grease), I expressed concern over it. Not because it is innately risky, but because an open, public recommendation isn't the best practice for volatile chemicals. What HL have said is very expected, it's worth acknowledging HL's stance on the...

    Nice one! I have one on the way, have to say I've been looking forward to it every time I've loaded the hopper since ordering.

    This is something to consider. Last night I actually depleted all my batteries, because I had my charger set up too far away from me. Having 4 ready to go at once would be handy. In terms of reconditioning batteries, this was discussed at one point. I seem to remember that any charger will do...

    It's a good shade, it appears a lot darker in person (more like in @mrbonsai420 pics) And it is definitely a micro rig at about 14cm tall. I think I'll use it with a drop down for dabbing but I'd happily try it with its dome first. It's close, but possibly not too close. For the time being its...
