    Got my hopper back today :rockon: The new body seems to be improved, I think there's more taper to the chamber opening and it looks slightly different than I remember. They must have micro-sonically cleaned my mouthpiece (I sent it away in a used [combusted] state) it is now super shiny and...

    Hoping it just turns up for you like it did when I ordered from the UK to Aus. LOL I just checked my tracking and it still says Latest update: It's on its way Your item, posted on 03/03/16 with reference RI5186289*5GB has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in AUSTRALIA...

    A fully packed chamber has more thermal mass, and provides better heat conductivity to the chamber walls, heating the insulation and metal and user, but even whith an empty chamber the GH body heats up, just not as rapidly or by as much (maybe, never used it nearly as much like this). The white...

    The heater only heats up to the temp required and has a huge surface area, so unless you increase inhale speed it tends to still produce vapour for a good few seconds. The tube around it can get pretty hot for sure and is what is dissipating the heat from the heater, when mine was malfunctioning...

    @Baron23 as it turns out, silicone is a misnomer and it is actually a polysiloxane material. None-the-less a different colour would have been good. I'm not sure though, if it would still get a similar safety rating as the food safe material they went with. I seem to remember them sourcing...

    Nice write up @Baron23, it covers it all pretty well. It's a fairly praising review considering you haven't tried it through water yet, the pièce de résistance! Couple of tid-bits, it's silicone, not silicon :D And the charging, I think is just ordinary conduction with a magnet to fix it in...

    This is great and spot on. Caroline replaced my body (sic) and my hopper is on its way back to me priority ! Spent 25 bucks just to get it maybe a week sooner. Pretty keen for its return.

    @Churrucaman it does sound like you have a warranty case unfortunately. It took them a few days to respond to mine, so I would expect similar service. It sounds like your heat sensor is faulty, which seems to be the more popular fault atm. You can continue to use it, but it won't be as good a...

    The charger is fine to use, but less convenient than external charging IMO. If you have had a GH charger since mid May, it has an older inferior board in it, which may stop working at some point. The new one has a more powerful micro-controller and a simpler overall design which should improve...

    sounds good, the opening of the herb chamber is 9mm, though you might be able to grind the pads down? @flipjoe enjoy that hopper! There were 25 retail kits purchased in 2013, with about 24 months of time where the owners of these could add more units (it seems a few outlets have done this)...

    Not for quite a while. If they are as busy as they are now up until August, it might not be for quite a while longer. Same goes for the SS case https://www.grasshoppervape.com/store/product/stainless-steel-case/ Which now has an 'unavailable' status.

    This has been discussed a few times. I think the verdict was organic cotton works best. Some cotton, especially sourced from the beauty market, may have perfumes or adhesives, but 100% cotton is fine and doesn't alter flavour too much unless the same cotton is re-used. Hemp fibre didn't get as...

    That's interesting. I watched Buzz's review today, and I think he said the FF2 can hit 260 C ? I would have thought that would make it better for concentrates

    As long as it's 10mm, 14mm or a male 18mm joint, the silicone mouthpiece will seal it. With 14mm female the GH can plug in bare for hands free use.

    I found out about this today, I'm tempted to get one It's a 510 thread rig for an oil pen or glycerine vape. It would also be perfect with the hopper. Searching DHgate for "510 bubbler" I found this There's also plenty of smaller bulb style water pieces on DHgate. The first pic is available on...

    I'd be careful. I'd say that official car USBs would be UL listed, but I plugged mine into a 2.1A adapter via 12v cigarette lighter plug. This made the charger brick make some truly funky sounds and then I had problems with it not working. Apples wall adapters are fine, iPad ones will be better...

    Oh man, I'm green with jealous rage right now :lol: I just FOD'd (first of the day'd) a nice EQ hit which has got me steezed. Pretty stoked my hoppers at HL, ever since I found out the PO clerk didn't give me the parcel tracking she said she sold me, I was expecting some crazy long delivery...

    Sugru, interesting. Surgru is formerol, a patented silicone elastomer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugru https://sugru.com/pdfs/tds.pdf Operating temperatures are between −50 and 180 °C, it is thermally insulating and can last 13 months. Probably a lot less if heated constantly. It should...

    Yeah I wanted to touch on this too, but I refrained because I don't have my hopper to reference. My memory has of course been too vaporized for confident comments. I was going to say that I had no trouble with the fine grind at all heater side, however I did also want to mention that the GH...

    Cheers Baz :) I will elaborate a bit more, now I'm not adding to a massive wall of text. Sorry :ko: The amount of material and how it sits in the chamber differs the most between grind consistencies, and for sure if you use a chunkier grind it takes less herb to fill the chamber (which will...
