    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I've been waiting for this thing since I returned my 1st edition Ascent and heard the GH guys on some podcast talking about how they were gonna make the MFLB killer. They finally did it now that I've lost it :freak: :mental: I wonder who will be the brave soul to risk losing a hopper by trying...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I always envisioned it feeling more like a blunt. A REAL vapor-blunt :spliff:

    If that is a magic mouse (which I'm also using right now), then that is a bit shorter than I was expecting. Congrats and enjoy!

    I'm an early bird backer and my order is "In Progress." If nobody has received an address confirmation email, I'll assume "In Progress" is the best predicament to be in?

    The Grasshopper

    That is comforting news. I remember one of the GH team (I think it was the guy who is no longer with the company and was the least knowledgable about the vape) telling me that there was no separation between the herb and the heater and that it wasn't a problem because the heater only gets as hot...

    The ABV shot seems to be good enough to validate @OF prediction of the uneven cooking. On both loads it seems like the herb that was closer to the heater looks quite a bit darker... bummer. There goes the stealth if you have to crack it open and stir it. But it also shows that it's mostly...

    I wonder if that spec is actually up to date, given the fact that they changed the bowl design to be in the body instead of in the screw-on tip. Seems like the body would hold more. There is a recent video where it shows him packing the new bowl. It seemed like he put a ton of flower in there.

    The Grasshopper

    I am low tolerance and rarely do "sessions," so I expect to use it as a one hitter most of the time. I think it will work perfectly as a replacement for my MFLB. a) click on b) wait 10 seconds c) draw 10-15 seconds d) click off There is some debate as to how long the battery will last, but I...

    The Grasshopper

    The events I'm referring to would have happened over a year ago, like during the campaign, back when a non-trivial number of people entertained the idea that they were actually con artists. That said, I know you've probably been following this thing as long as I have and surely you remember them...

    The Grasshopper

    I've followed this thread from the beginning and I think there was a time when there was some intense negative criticisms/accusations being directed at the grasshopper representative(s). I think they decided it wasn't worth the time or the negative vibes to continue following this thread or...

    The Grasshopper

    After stepping many times thru the frames right before he brings it to his mouth (on a big monitor), I am pretty confident that the temp was at 5/5 or 4/5. Even so, that was plenty of cloudage for me, who is not necessarily a cloud chaser.

    Looks like Hopper Labs LLC (CO company) lost a co-founder as of June: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/conradbehrman I wonder how that affected this whole process. I wonder how much funding he ran with to start his new music company... guess it doesn't matter to me as long as I get my...

    I'm sure Bill also inhales a bit, taking up even more battery life :brow: Happy 500th post btw ;)

    The Grasshopper

    If they do not show us a photo tomorrow of a completely assembled grasshopper from parts received from the manufacturers, I'm not going to count on receiving my early bird before new years. The grasshopper will have minimal conduction because the air is brought in thru the spiral heater under...

    It doesn't make any sense for them to offer an oil front end IMO. I just can't believe it's possible to vaporize oils with convection, at least not without shooting out some seriously hot air. If so they would need to add a conduction-style heater into the front end that somehow hooks into the...

    Has there been any news about the water tool adapters? Those should be finished and ready to ship by now. I hope GH knows how to multitask.

    The Grasshopper

    They claim that the heater will never get hotter than the desired temperature, and since that temp can't get up past 452 F there won't be combustion. This is a big claim requiring some serious insulation capabilities. My thoughts exactly. It takes tons of work to get everything to fit into...

    The Grasshopper

    I really expected them to have most of this type of stuff done before the kickstarter. I wonder how much you can "tweak" the designs of stuff like this before mass production, assuming they already had several prototypes before the KS even began. RE: convection vs. conduction. I asked a...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    I received my 420 celebration stems from @OF today, "with a laugh," :lol: and had a fun experience. I haven't been letting the box stay too cool for quite some time now because I had some paranoia a couple of times. Since I wasn't in a situation where I could vape too much at the time, I tried...
