Should be fine. Be aware your batteries are getting old, especially the ghb2's!
i think just one of my batteries are GH2! but it works great, i dont know why
and thanks!!
Simply and well-stated! I took my IO out of mothballs last weekend and fired it up with the battery in it (I know they should be removed but I didn’t do that). I got a great first draw and then the subsequent ones had the lights flickering. I put another fully charged one in and pretty much the same thing - good first draw and then flashing lights. Both batts were from my second-to-last batch of batteries. I don’t recall if they’re GHB2’s or 3’s but the point is - and I’ve stated this before - Hopper batts are perhaps the overall weak link. They have a short shelf life IMO. If you don’t use them often they’ll lose their capacity quickly. I’m not an electrical engineer but Hopper batts tend to be variable in nature and not the best compared to popular types, including 18650’s.
Nothing hits like a working Hopper IO
Seems like those people are ghosting. Would me nice to have an AC or 18650 adapter
Whats inside? Beads?
Yes! The beads from vape engineering (herbie v2)
What happened to your Hoppers?
Hopper batts work well at the onset and I think they lose their capacity and effectiveness quickly. That’s been my experience with their batteries over many years and from several batches of batteries. Indeed, older ones need to be recharged frequently and don’t take much of a charge as they quickly lose their capacity - even mostly draining them and then recharging them. Just from practical experience, IMO.

My io lasted a couple of years. After the backend failed, I was able to buy a used one, but it only lasted a month before it failed. I finally gave up. I'm guessing HL is toast.
Chosty sells backends (and frontends) but not bodies. HL is effectively dead except for their presence on Chosty. I bought new batts from there last year but haven’t used them yet (and they’re in my fridge until I decide to use them). I still enjoy my IO occasionally and I haven’t used my OG Hopper in months. I love the quick hits though battery life these days is fleeting at best. I’ll drain the ones in main rotation before I use the new ones from Chosty.
$110 for a backend is too much IMO, although I'm sure someone will be happy to pay it. One reason I loved my hoppers is that I only paid $200 for the first one in 2016 and probably got 20-25000 pleasant hits over the next 5-3/4 years. The crazy lifetime warranty made it happen. In hindsight, another reason I enjoyed it was that I tended to use less weed with it, natively, which somehow got me mo' stoned.Chosty sells backends (and frontends) but not bodies.

I agree. I thought HL was selling new spare bodies for about the same price, however that is not offered on Chosty - just backends and front ends for main parts (including batteries too, both GBH3s and 3’s labeled as 2’s - LOL). I’m all but done with HL except maybe buying new batteries (from Chosty if available) as long as my Hoppers continue to work. It’s been an interesting run since I got my OG Hopper in ‘16 and IO in ‘20. Don’t know what, if anything, HL is up to now.
do these backends work on the first grasshopper I've got a red flashing light one of those in my drawer plus I bought a hopper io used from someone that still works but not very well so my question would that backend work in both modelsChosty sells backends (and frontends) but not bodies.

thanks for the reply as a red light problem I'm assuming it's a backend issue also it is gonna cost me a fair bit to get it to the UK as I can't find them any place else so it looks like the USA it is thenThe
backends work in both models
