    My blue hopper, the same one that got 5.5 chambers on a battery, started burning through a battery in about 1.5 bowls. I didn't notice much heat on the back-end, but the LEDs were flickering blue during use. The threads on the back end had a tiny bit of dust/junk noticeable under direct light...

    I noticed this when I got my pre-order too - the colour shows on the lower section, as this is the body material (Ti on the left, SS on the right in your pic). My Ti GT001159 is the same, I believe it's one of the first current-style back ends. However, as it's been used for 6 months or so...

    I'm a bit angry that you are having such a rough run, seeing as I can thank you (and your reddit 'Vapefiend restocked' post) for the duration I've had a hopper! I hope you have better luck with round 3 :( --------------- I did have problems with my original hopper, but my newer pre-order and...

    On that note though, I had to contact HL to request sending it in without a battery. Australia is flat out against air-freighting Li-ion cells, it could only have gone via sea. This was no issue, Caroline said they could use an in-house battery to test the device.

    Haha, either or is fine with me :D On the batteries, judgements aside, I guess their tested capacity is disappointing (a very common trait for any battery esp. mixed bin lots), but the fact that you can still get multiple high quality vapour hits off even the worst ones at something like 500mAh...

    yeah I was a bit surprised to be honest. It was just a random battery from the charger, I decided I'd use it til empty, thinking it would be at max an extra 2 chambers (not 4.5). I would normally swap after 2 or 3 chambers [I don't normally use it to red lights]. It was done in 8 hits, with...

    At the very least it is an extra step of QA. I mean it can do only a small number of batteries at a time. A powerboard and a bunch of chargers would have been a cheaper solution and probably what was done before, so I imagine they spent extra for some reason. Who knows though, the batteries that...

    I don't think Mooch's findings were worrisome, more so they weren't shocking either way. They aren't somehow the best batteries available, and they aren't terrible. They are unique to the device, and they are safe. They are relatively unlikely to explode. That is my main concern seeing as I hold...

    That piece is made by Trap Glass of Wisconsin (instagram) I paid a reasonable amount [retail in Aus, equivalent of 6 D020's], I'm sure contacting him directly would change the price significantly. I was contemplating searching DHgate for something similar, but it seemed like too big a challenge...

    Low temp bubbler hits are soooooo tasty. I just had a billy at temp 4. I normally start at 5, or 3.5 if lower, but I think 4 really suits the bud I have atm. Flavour profile is on point. I combusted (by choice, traditional bic + bowl) last night for the first time in a while, the flavour is...

    I have a suspicion that the big battery charger/analyser HL got a while back was to sort their stock quality and make sure each GH unit got a higher quality battery. This would ensure every device has one quality cell. Pure speculation, but it would be worth their while. Regardless, I'm happy...

    on the plain Ti it's fairly negligible. I am more careful with my blue unit, but it still wears fairly well against glass. My main concern is the seal won't be air tight unless using silicone, so if you want peak performance, the silicone is necessary.

    Pretty keen to see what the new silicone mouthpieces are like. Still no word on the SS case... I'm kind of unsure I will even get good use out of the case at this stage. Maybe I'll swap it for 7 mouthpieces :p

    Rewrap the battery. No need to discard it, although it shouldn't be used whilst damaged. --------- Having two hoppers is good for my usage. It offers a bit of insurance if one dies, but it also eases the workload compared to a single. I can have one charging whilst using the other, meaning less...

    That sounds pretty good. Perhaps one day I will have concentrates available to me so I could go a similar route. Most of my set up cost is now glass and that is where my appreciation lies. The GH is amazing to pair up for herb usage, and using two is pretty hectic. But concentrates are a...

    Classic. I've been close to doing this before, reminded me of times loading conepieceless stems. Cracks me up every time, because you have to be that kind of super baked. Little pen has a lot of grunt I hear you man, that is a rough and costly experience. It's pretty disconcerting in some ways...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    Yeah for real. I paid a hundred bucks less for my most recent US glass purchase, and that is with shipping and resale on top. It's a one off, and hits like a boss. When I was talking to Zhang about getting a piece made, he had this to say re: colour The last line is referring to his...

    I uploaded a vid of a dual wielded hopper hit, can't figure out how to embed it but it's here if anyone is interested. @Bdubbdiblets that is one epic place to be hopping !
