    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    @midgetsanchez I'm liking the look of the GH next to the P7s! Like peas in a pod. Agree that case looks short. Maybe it could work for tucking the GH in a briefcase pocket where the top is still showing but the bottom is protected. Guess I'll need to wait for my own to find out.

    Sous vide recipes?

    Just seeing this...welcome to the team! I've got a bunch of recipes, but also you'll find that with practice you can use many non-SV recipes with your SV...which is what I do all the time. The original and still very very strong resource for SV are the threads on eGullet. eGullet is like...

    I know this is not the stash case thread but this is a great case for $10 shipped on Amazon. Size is absolutely perfect, made of aluminum, opens on both ends, has o rings for a nice seal. These have replaced all other similar cases in my world because they are cheap and work really well...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Good video...I never knew there was a whole Vice Munchies channel. The biggest revelation here for me was how he used a stick blender to grind the weed. The big downside of coffee grinders is that you leave so much behind and they are hard to clean. With a stick blender you could probably just...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I think they might be giving some early vapes out to people who have helped them and to people who have offered do to reviews. Back in March, when it seemed like we were just weeks away from shipping (remember that?), I was emailing Trevor on something else and I offered to do a casual review...

    Stealth is also about when your dad, daughter, or boss see it sitting on a table or in a bag and they don't give it a second look. By this definition, looking like an e-cig isn't always a good thing. This is where the Pax shines. The GH is also designed for this type of stealth imo...

    Cannabis on tribal land.....

    Think it's smart for them to have the 1 gram sales limit. Essentially limits sales to what will be consumed on the reservation. That will keep the states and Feds out of their hair. But it's the thin edge of the wedge that will ultimately lower resistance toward legalization in those states.

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    I've had this same optimistic / "want to believe" perspective for quite a while now...like maybe they're just being extra conservative and they'll surprise us by delivering sooner. After this last update, though, I'm starting to wonder if they are deliberately feeding us optimism in order to...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    My orders say July 2015 too and I was toward the end of the IGG backers (12/12/13). Any IGG backers with anything different than July?

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    You know I was just looking at the IGG site and didn't realize until now that the Holiday Backers were promised to get their GHs before everyone else...so "Early Bird" isn't first in line, they were just able to buy it cheaper. Which is why they made that offer specifically to Holiday Backers...

    The Grasshopper Shipping Poll

    This was the first update we've seen from Matt in a long time, maybe ever. It read like they we're scrambling around and Trevor said "oh fuck, the update" and Matt said "stand back and watch me crank something out." I was disappointed in the lack of specificity. "We’re on target to be...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Coconut oil actually lasts longer than most other oils... a new jar can last 1-4 years on the shelf. Rancidity is basically the breakdown of the fatty chains over time into smaller molecules that smell and taste bad. Heating the oil for a prolonged period can accelerate this breakdown, as...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Since you are a serious cook I think you would like it. Not sure if food lasts longer in practice, but in theory it should since it pulls a heavier vacuum...and we never have a problem with freezer burn or spoilage. Not having to worry about liquids (or powders) getting sucked out opens up a...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    For the vacuum sealer, I have a Vacmaster VP112. I started out with a regular foodsaver sealer, but upgraded to the VP112 a few years ago and have had no regrets. Its a chamber sealer...while pricey at $500-$600 its the least expensive and probably smallest chamber sealer available (but its...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    Right but I started with 60g ABV. Even if my ABV was 10% thc, and if ignored the fact that most of my thc was already decarbed, the mass loss from decarboxylation would be less than 1g. I lost over 100g of oil mass in my last run so decarboxylation mass loss was not a big factor there.

    I don't think you are being unreasonable but bear in mind this is a crowd sourcing project and that a group of backers offered to fund the GH sight unseen...that was part of the deal. They are supposed to make promises up front in order to entice backers. Now that we are 18 months in and this...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    the thc shouldn't degrade anywhere near that extent at 190F. The loss is mostly stuff that gets absorbed by the abv. I want it to be strong so I use barely enough to soak the ABV. The flip side is 30% of the oil got left in the bag. The leftover soaked abv could probably be reused but I...

    Actually food grade heat resistant silicone is pretty durable. I have kitchen tools and mixing bowls made of this. so most likely you could run them through the dishwasher to clean them. I like the 4-pack idea (or at least 3 pack for $10). Edit: just found a link to silicone mini bowls...

    The Grasshopper

    Think its because Feb 2014 was the original promise date from the IGG campaign. My guesses are this date is: Their way of saying "we'll get these out as soon as they are ready" (or perhaps "leave us the fuck alone") A placeholder date that will be updated as soon as their state-of-the-art...
