    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Just having the pick and place machine to assemble the boards won't let them make revisions that much faster. What they call the "raw pcb" (the green circuit board without components on it) would need to be redesigned with new wire/hole patterns and made again probably in China and that's still...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I also doubt the PCB issue is the only issue they've been having. I think its more about process control...could be by the time they diagnosed a PCB related error they had made thousands or months-worth of PCBs that they had to either rework themselves or scrap. We know from an update 6+...

    Do most of you "vape" at a temperature that combusts?

    Agreed. The OPs article seemed to be culling info from multiple sources that aren't mentioned, so not sure I'd rely on it. What I've read is that around 200C, benzene starts to form in cannabis vapor, which is a good reason to stay below that temp because no carcinogens have been detected at...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    The good news is they can afford to make these kinds of investments in their processes...if GHL was on the brink of financial collapse and not telling us they wouldn't be buying new equipment of this scale. I'd also speculate that the decision to buy a pick-and-place machine was more about...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    The update was only sent to backers which is probably why they are spinning it toward that audience. But agree it wasn't the meatiest update we've seen from those guys.

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Hope everyone had great holidays. Based on the traffic both here and on reddit, it sounds like there have been no new confirmations sent out by GHL in the last week. Either they've taken the week off and/or shipments are bottlenecked have come to a complete halt. I'm guessing the former...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Dec 12 backer here for Gray Ti, no confirmation yet but getting excited now. Its looking like GHL is using a separate shipping sequence for color Ti backers, which is why they are getting shipped ahead of some SS backers. I imagine that with fewer color orders, they still have to have the...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Not a bad update this time...maybe their best? Its a low bar, I know. For once they gave a specific production rate and they also acknowledged in their own way that production rates havent been as high as they promised back in July when they let Matt write the update and he said production...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I actually got an email last night from Google saying that my 128gb Nexus 6P order is now delayed 2 weeks and they are giving me a $25 discount for my trouble. It was supposed to arrive yesterday. So my phone drama continues. Lots of similarities with the GH (e.g order status still shows...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    fwiw, I've managed to moderate my VAS for the Grasshopper this past month by pre-ordering a new Nexus phone. Its a ~1 month wait until shipping, and I've been watching reddit like a hawk all month long waiting for this bad boy phone to ship. What's funny is that even though reviews for the...

    ABV Neutralisation - Is it possible?

    @Nesta I've been making my oil mostly with a sous vide method... here's a post on the Sous Vide ABV thread with photos of my process. I've also done a pressure cooker / mason jar method which works well but the sous vide is easier so I've been doing that more. I have one of those 00 capsule...

    ABV Neutralisation - Is it possible?

    This is a good question. I'm guessing the answer is that you can't get rid of the flavor, so the best strategy should be to get the maximum extraction then concentrate the tincure/oil down as much as possible. That way the nasty flavor gets diluted away when making edibles. Adding sugar and...

    Custom 3D printed Widgets - Delta 3D Studios

    I like it. I'd get one. My first reaction was where does the charging cable go...but looks like this case is more designed to swap batteries on the go. As a travel case I think I'd still try to cram the charging cable in somehow. Really like the brown inside.

    Don't have my hopper yet but these stash tubes on Amazon are really nice. http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Airtight-Cylinder-Storage-COLORS/dp/B0028CITY2/ref=sr_1_6?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1445202128&sr=8-6&keywords=Stash+tube Don't know the diameter offhand but I'd guess they are 2 cm. smaller...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Not a bad update as these go. It seems more and more like they've been intentionally holding back production until they could get their defect rate down...which is smart for them yet agonizing for us. Its a sign of confidence that at least the parts are locked down enough to place such a large...

    How is the DaVinci Vape ?

    Have never used this DaVinci but I do own a DaVinci Ascent among other vapes. My take is you should look at other options. The model you are looking at is 2 years old and better stuff has come out since. I also wouldn't recommend the Ascent... its fine but there are better options. Off...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    Glad my posts still resonate even when they are old and outdated! I'm using the Mighty as my DD right now, but also spent a good deal of time with the Crafty over the summer. Agree Mighty is a little more powerful than the Crafty in practice. One year later S&B has definitely delivered on...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    I think theoretically they could cooked lower like you would a breast, but thighs are tougher and better suited for braising so you typically go with a higher temp for longer. If you cook it like a breast (say at 140F for 1-1.5 hrs), Im guessing it wont be that tender. I defer again to Kenji...
