    For anyone still using an IO or an OG, there is a sale on Hopper batteries at Chosty.com that runs through Nov. 28th - 50% off. I suspect that, once Chosty sells all of their Hopper inventory, new batteries won't be available anywhere. In spite of all of the BS Hopper Labs has put us through...

    Just posting this as a public service announcement so you know what you will receive if you also order a new backend from Chosty. I probably am one of the few remaining regular users of the Hopper IO. I have several that I rotate as my daily drivers. Recently one of my backends began acting up...

    I ordered 8 batteries on 4/20, but apparently I ordered on an older version of the io website and I did not see or receive any discount. Then, I read on this forum that HL was offering a 420 discount on a slightly different website identified here on FC. So, I logged in there, saw the 420...

    How do we know when a Hopper io battery is beginning to fail and should be replaced? Currently, I own three Hopper io vapes, two titanium and one stainless steel. I primarily use the titanium io vapes that I acquired in June. I am super impressed with the devices and upgrades, as I have two OGs...

    I have read that Hopper batteries should be stored with about a 40% charge. A full charge is 4.2 V, but what is full discharge, and how many volts would constitute a 40% charge?

    I ordered 6 batteries from HL that were shipped to me in November 2019. Subsequently, I received instructions from HL to immediately dispose of the batteries. I saved the batteries but did not use them, all of which were marked 'GHB2' and 'Made in China'. Will replacement batteries be...

    It makes perfect sense to me that the IO backend would work well with an OG body. But I would think that an IO body would not work well with an OG back end, given the higher power. My OG backend already gets pretty hot with just an OG body. Is it safe to say that this is not recommended by HL?

    I believe there is one more area of customer service that HL should address to help rebuild customer confidence in the products and company, and that is their website. Logging into the new HL IO website allows me to do two things that help me manage my interaction with the company for orders and...

    So, I have been using my pre-order IO for a month now. Within the first week after receiving it I was so impressed (compared to my reliable OG) that I bought a second IO. I now alternate between the two IOs and use each for 3~4 sessions before charging. So far, I have not experienced any...

    I have had my pre-ordered IO for 2+ weeks now, and I must say I am impressed with the performance improvements over the OG. So far, I have not observed any malfunctions, and it definitely feels like the next evolution of this innovative vape design. I don't believe there is another vape quite...

    I have been using an OG for almost 3 years now, and excessive mouthpiece heat has been a persistent problem. Even the silicone cover offered by HL provides minimal relief. I get just one pull from the vape before the tip becomes too uncomfortable to further enjoy. However, switching to the...

    For those who are endlessly waiting for a Hopper bubbler, there is an excellent alternative that is available today for $15 less. I own two of these, and I suspect this is the manufacturer of the Hopper bubbler. Check it out at GRAV® Small Upright Bubbler.

    I think it's safe to say that nobody has received the IO registration code that was supposed to be on the box. But I sent an email to HL requesting that they manually register my device on their end. The email sat unanswered for about a week, and then I received email confirmation that HL had in...

    Has anyone here had any success registering their new IO with HL? Without the registration number that is missing from my IO box, the HL website will not permit me to complete registration with just the IO serial number. Last year, I had a similar problem registering a new OG, but I sent HL an...

    I would like to learn more about compatible Hopper AC adapter kits for use with OG and IO vapes. Reviewing past threads on FC, I see that recently there was an adapter offered by MaxVapor on a pre-order basis, but from what I have read it's not available at this time. Does anyone know if this...

    I am pleased to report that my new pre-ordered Ti IO was delivered yesterday. I topped off the battery charge, cleaned it up, and put it to use through one session. I must say, I am impressed with how well the IO extracts vapor. It seems more intense than what I have noted with my OG. I also am...

    Thanks for the info Vaporific, that's helpful. I ordered a Nitecore D4. I still have 2 of the 4 batteries I initially received 3 years ago, one of which won't charge with the Hopper charger and probably is gone (never used or charged it in 3 years). Two others died and got recycled. My use of...

    I really would like to have an external charger to help maintain Grasshopper batteries. Unfortunately, the one promoted by HL seems to be a project that gets no attention and never comes to fruition. I ordered the HL charger three years ago with my initial OG order, but subsequently canceled the...

    While I did not receive an email notification from HL regarding any change in my IO pre-order shipping status, I just checked my open order through the IO website. The status still shows that it's "in progress," however, there now is a tracking number for shipment. Right now, my new Ti IO is...

    It looks like momentum is building towards HL beginning to ship IO pre-orders. Yesterday, I received the following response to my email inquiry: "Thanks for contacting us. We are now shipping the Hopper io. Stainless Steel and Titanium units are shipping first. Please be patient as we work...
