@fogbank we are manufacturing more than necessary so they should be available for a little while, but I don't want to be stuck with thousands of accessories I can't do anything with so my excess inventory is very conservative. Once they are gone, I would have to consider another pre-order to...

@fogbank you would screw the ring onto the backend, thread the wire through the opening which is offset from the clip and then screw that onto the body. Unfortunately I did not have a working backend with a clip on hand for any of these photos, but I have one on the way in a few days and then I...

Mostly production-ready version of the expansion ring came in today, I will probably have them take about half of a thread off as there is a slight gap on some hopper bodies but not all. Should be able to get a decent video together in a few days showing the operation while plugged in...

The circuit boards for the Power Converter came back today, going to get a few assembled tonight and put them on the load tester. Currently just waiting on the injection mold for the Power Converter enclosure and dummy batteries to be completed, so we should be right on schedule for a late...

I will see if we can get those issues addressed sometime this week.

@Vaporific its really impossible to know until there is an actual device released. If the threads are the same, the expansion ring should fit. If the battery is the same dimensions, the dummy battery should work fine. The power supply question is an unknown until there is actual testing done...

@MoltenTiger if you want is an extension ring to rig up your gear I would be happy to send one your way at no cost, just send us an email.

We felt this option was more versatile to those not wishing to lock themselves into a USB-C powered backend replacement, which is what the original prototype was. With an extension ring and dummy battery, users can use their own battery packs or power supplies however they want.

@VegNVape the electronics in the backend are pretty basic and I outlined the operation a few pages back if you are interested.

@VegNVape certainly no animosity here, but I can't sugar coat facts and make them taste good as I didn't say anything negative. The reality is this project was born out of pure frustration with the manufacturer and one engineers inability to get his device repaired or purchase batteries. We...

@Hopper Labs when you have 18 month RMA times and no access to batteries, people get creative.

@MonkeyTime I believe it might be beyond repair, but I can check with the guys later today. Of course both you and @ChooChooCharlie are entitled to a free unit as we wouldn't have been able to complete this project without your help. Just send us an email and I will get you put on the list.

@vapeverythingnyc yes it will be included, I will update the preorder link. Also, Portugal and Germany have been added to the available countries.

@On_Weed the cable from the hopper to the power converter is about 10 inches but the actual power cord after that can be as long as you like. @fachada I will see if we can get that fixed later today. @Terpenetime yes it will. @MoltenTiger The current Dummy Battery wires terminate in an XT30...

The thread for discussion of the "Grasshopper AC Adapter Kit" is now located here: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/grasshopper-ac-adapter-kit-and-18650.46203/ There is also a pre-order / reservation link for those interested. Thanks everyone, MaxVapor

So as some of you may be aware, we are developing a kit to allow people to use an external wall power supply or an external 18650 battery to power their Grasshoppers. As this will likely be something we only do a single manufacturing run for, I want to make sure I get all of the numbers right...

I appreciate all of the positive feedback, but as this is not my thread I don't want to disrail the thread with a bunch of me-toos so I will create a thread under vapor related equipment later tonight.

@Vaporific Its hard to say but it is entirely dependent on the manufacturing costs, which are dependent on how many pieces I will need to manufacture. As the hopper is not my product or have a decent way to gauge the interest in the quantity i will most likely put up some interest check or...

@david8613 we are manufacturing a "dummy battery" and body extension tube for the grasshopper. These pieces will allow users to use an external power source with their grasshopper without modification to the hopper itself.

Not really sure, I don't believe in ghosts. But provided the threading is the same, then most likely.
