Aw, hello there @KeroZen - it's been a while - nice to see you
I must say, when it works, my Hopper is truly awesome at delivering native, on the go, on-demand hits while out & about, and although the mouthpiece can get quite toasty after several consecutive hits, the vapor is easily manageable for me even at max temp.
Imo, unless you want to session on the higher end of the scale a water tool is not required - although I love using one at home, portability, stealth & on-demand convection flavour are my main requirements from this device.
Hopefully the io will have the Hopper's kinks well & truly ironed out.
And finally, I really am not THAT bothered by the whole proprietary battery thing for a number of reasons, but my main one is the admiration for the fact that Hopper Labs uncompromisingly decided to build a vape the way they wanted, not around someone elses idea of how big a battery should be. Some say that's stupid but I say fair play.
This company is still very young & clearly has a long way to go, but I think it has a very interesting future and personally I'm in a position where I'm really quite happy to hop along for the ride.
Merry Christmas you lot!
