So I've brought my only flawless Grasshopper back into rotation. It was 35% off for 420 '17 and hasn't skipped a beat ever since.
It got me through a lot of warranty gaps between other units and continues to happily tick along. Although this one has never been a big hitter, just a lighter...
Relayed from google/reddit:
10.2 Technical Requirements for suitable Chargers
For general charging, a USB charger with at least 5 VDC / 2 A (10 W) is recommended.
Technical requirements for supercharging: Charger must support USB-C PD and supply at least 9 VDC / 3 A (27 W).
- Venty manual...
Nice work swapping batteries. A pity it didn't do the trick, but good effort to try.
Maybe demand from S&B replacement/exchange parts instead of a whole product for customs clearance purposes. Maybe you can reassemble a whole set if you can get all the parts.
Or look into parcel forwarding...
Because the package they're put in is failing.
It's much harder to build test equipment than a basic product. Incredibly more difficult and expensive.
Yes you can have dodgy parts, but ICs have pretty good QC as each part is approved and sometimes binned. They themselves are a product, and...
I got the now discontinued Apple AA charger which was recommended at the time 13 odd years ago!
Wikipedia says this about the cells
The charger was sold with six rechargeable AA batteries that use low self-discharge NiMH technology,[8] have a silver design and no Apple branding, and have an...
Joel's work on the Grasshopper external battery was quite an awesome effort.
It came before the also awesome MaxVapor adapters.
I seem to remember Joel got to 100 chambers of battery life with his attached box of 4 x 18650s - the GH is crazy efficient. But everything got complicated by the...
It appears there's no Through Hole soldering applied to the TM2
The PCB Bottom side just has the battery spring and heater assembly, Top side is all Surface Mount components - so a much weaker mount for the switch, which has unsoldered pins passing through slots on the board.
I only use...
The button could also cause some rattle, although this should be improved on newer TM2s and definitely on a PH unit, with a different switch and improved button pusher in the assembly, and maybe a silicone gasket? But it could still cause a rattle I guess.
Try and shake it whilst holding the...
This looks great, awesome work.
How quickly does it cool down?
Do you have a method or tool for refilling? I thought you could slide a wooden sleeve/cup over the thermal mass section, with a magnet and pins to match the air intake holes, you could slide it on and spin the thermal mass and tool...
Dynawax has proved to be a perfect solution to the blinding lights, placed in all stir tool holes, plus power and charge indicators next to USB port. One application and it has held up well over a couple of years. I've lost track how old my BCG and TM2 are..
Also did my desktop PC case, it used...
Haha there is nothing efficient or sensible about bulldozing through so much flower no matter what, all for fun and entertainment
Most often I'm not into this kind of media but I was for this until the mini hits, because of the custom flower hardware.
These kind of next level contraptions will...
The TM2 is certainly not cheap but mine has held up super well and has proved to be quite robust despite missing the new durability upgrades
It really has been an amazing device and has had heaps of use and survived so far all drops and being flung off my passenger seat. I saw curtains but for...
Those chambers'd last 34s and they're all tipped at 7!
4/5ths of that 1/8th evaporated off the plate
:shrug:
It bothered me too much as a seasoned sublimationist
Otherwise pretty rad and good effort nonetheless ahaha
Love what you've done here and will be seeking this dual coil out the...
The debris looks like charred chamber contents and not melted plastic.
Note though that Bic flames hit ~1300°C so will definitely burn and melt PEEK.
Difference is that it will self extinguish and be compliant with needle flame testing.
The outer enclosure is probably an ABS / PC mix, the...
I found this looking for "natty perc tube" on google and thought the size and shape would be better for vaping - 8" tall, bent MP.

Can't vouch for the site, but looks a good option and decent value

Interesting ideas for instructions and merch - fun and creative for sure
