    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    So I've noticed that since I've been on FC, the more I enjoy a certain vape, the less likely I am to follow its FC thread. This rule definitely applies to the Mighty and Crafty. My question: does anyone else who has spent time with both the Crafty and the Mighty think that the Mighty hits...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    Thats fair and ideally you are right. And maybe if you were running the company instead of Trevor/Matt, you would be completely honest/realistic in conveying shipping expectations, even if that meant that GHL wouldn't get enough pre-orders to fund the business and would go broke / have to shut...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    ^^^ This ^^^ As a IGG backer, I backed with the assumption that these guys were inexperienced yet talented youngsters who decided to forgo a typical engineering career path to instead start their own business and build a cutting edge vaporizer. That was and still is an idea that I can get...

    I actually like the way that looks. I have the Dark Gray Ti and the SS on order as well. I was always kind of bummed, back during the "pen clips out of round" fiasco, that the Ti units had SS clips. Doesn't look quite right IMO...I hope some day they can offer matching Ti clips. But having...

    What would happen if I vaped an Ant?

    Since ants are generally edible probably nothing bad would happen. The real question is what to do with ant abv.

    Great review .... I never knew there was that separate part of FC. That should get used more often (I'll use it in the future).

    Took the imag with me into Lollapalooza this past weekend. This is the time of year where I wish I had the grasshopper but with that not in yet I am using the imag and also my Ascent v2 which I bought last summer for the same purpose. The imag is pretty bulky to bring in given the light pat...

    True...evaporation will help thicken it up. Most people also add additional pectin for jam which makes it gel up...for a SV preparation where you are not evaporating its probably necessary. As I go through these bags of frozen yummyness this summer, I am finding I use the liquid for drinks...

    This thread is exactly the same as its been from the beginning, and its the same as the Candidate thread was for two years before that. Lots of excited/anxious people waiting for their hoppers, lots of people skeptical of the excitement, and lots of diversions and pure speculation to fill the...

    It's all about giving margin to retail, distributors or no distributors. The crowd funded price had no margin built in which is why they could offer so cheap. Every other vape sold through retailers has this type of margin in their list price...so should the hopper.

    People have different tastes around sv eggs. I like 142f for an hour, but some people don't like the white being a little runny. Getting a soft boiled egg that looks like what you get is boiling water is hard In a sv because the boiling water cooks the white to a higher temp than the yolk...

    I haven't done any with just strawberries but you definitely can... a lot of different kinds of fruit should work. In terms of sugar, 4:1 or 3:1 seem about right. Mine was closer to 3:1 but people adjust for the sweetness they prefer. Here are a few compote recipes: Epicurious and a...

    Yes and even better would be attachments that use the gH threading. Not sure how hard it is to match that precise threading, though.

    Its both a review and an experiment. Instead of an HPLC the experiment is using visual comparison and subjective taste testing to ascertain differences between vapes. The human instruments have greater room for error but over time if enough people reported results differences could be...

    I think 99% of the reviews we see here are going to be anecdotal rather than scientific. Until someone steps up and buys some HPLC time so we can see before / after testing on ABV and perhaps some testing on vapor (vapor testing protocol is significantly harder to do than ABV). That's the only...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    The actual number of backer orders is a little higher because they allowed IGG backers to add to their order in Spring 2014. I for one added an additional SS hopper at that time to my original Ti order. Probably not a huge number but maybe a few hundred more...

    Probably, but it could very well be a PCB assembly deflect that can be screened or reworked ...like a run of bad solder joints that applies for a few boards on a specific set of components. So it doesn't necessarily imply anything bad once it's screened out or fixed.

    I like this idea a lot. Ideally it would be something that looked "stock" - I'd buy it from the GH guys if they decided to offer one. Wouldn't have to be super long. But it would have to fit the GH threading to work well. Something metal with a little thermal mass could be interesting...

    The vapor temp isn't a big enough deal for me to use tubing. I don't think I am overly sensitive to vapor temp, though. The other vapes I've been using recently have all been on the cooler side, so the Imag+ was just different in that regard. It has me bracing a bit for the GH, though...

    I bought this from PIU as a "bridge vape” to get me through the summer while I wait for the Grasshoppers to ship. Thanks to @CarolKing for the heads up. This is the “ceramic” model with the copper ring. PIU service was great as others have described. For me, during the summer, I want...
