I was replying as an owner having had titanium threads, on two different og grasshoppers, which were a part of your inquiry.
Interesting tests, sounds like a good improvement from GHB1
I thought they were $14, no? Did it go up in price? Thanks for the stats. Do the results correlate with your usage observances?
Haven't needed anything besides ISO in almost 5 years. It gets really hot often, your hands and lips are all over it, some of the lubricant might end up where it doesn't belong, etc.For all my mods and ALUMINUM devices I use Nyogel (suggested for TM battery cap with its soft aluminum threads), but titanium is a different animal.
That's a bummer mate you should contact them and ask if they could send you a replacement body. That's what I done it came a few weeks later and is working great for now. The combusting body that I was using had started to lose heat and wasn't producing vapour even at 5. Since I knew the replacement was on the way and I'd nothing to lose it took some ISO and squirted a few drops on the heater screen on the inside off the oven and a drip in each air hole intake. I blew into the body from the air holes and the back and front ends. I dried it with Q tips and left it out in the air for an hour. It done the trick it was back to combusting as normal. Maybe worth a try if you can negotiate a replacement body from hopper labs to keep you going until it arrives. Good luck mate
good luck!
Well, that was faster than a celebrity marriage!
You knew this could happen. My io had a problem when 3 months old. It was fixed in 3 weeks and it's worked ever since (13 months minus 3 weeks). The goal is to average 90-95% run time over the long haul. It's a bummer when it fails but it's happy time when you get it working again. NBD. Last time mine failed I spent 5 minutes making a pipe from a toilet paper roll and I was good to go....
Gee, the last time my io failed (much more recently than yours) it took 2 rma's and a bit over 2 months to resolve. Though I was not being pushy, there were several missed commitments on HL's part.
I've had at least 6 replacements under RMA. Turnaround time is from 2 to 3 months. Replacement devices typically last less than a month. All have developed the same fault. Performance starts decreasing until you have to allow it to heat up for at least 10 seconds to get anything out of it, and even then it doesn't fully vape the herb. Then a while after that it will switch on and switch off after a second or 2. It's no different to the Grasshopper reliability wise.
I did have one of the threads fail on a PFE that required going back to the OG front end until i could get another one. Thought maybe it was just me
I think you can forget about getting your Grasshopper repaired. They've been trying to get GH users to upgrade to the IO. They allow a trade in value on the faulty GH. But beware. Apart from the different coloured LED, the IO is plagued with the same reliability issues as the GH. I've had to RMA mine more than 7 times over a short period since I upgraded. It still typically takes them over a month to repair too. It's been getting longer and longer over time. As far as I can see, the IO is essentially a GH with different lights. Works great for a couple of weeks, sometimes less. Then performance starts to degrade until you struggle to get any vapour from it. Then eventually goes to the LED switches on and then off symptom. No heat.Hey all, I sent in my grasshopper for repairs over 3 years ago and still haven't gotten it back yet. They've been saying it's "soon ready" for about two years and even said it was ready about half a year ago but have since reneged on that claim. Have any of you experienced this? I'm not sure this is the right place to be posting this question, so apologies if it isn't. Thanks in advance
I have long ago lost hope in them, just curious what experiences others have/have had with them and their device.It's a pity they still haven't got their act together after all this time. When it works it's great. But mostly it doesn't work. I reckon I've had the use of them for 33% of the time since I bought 2. Work for a month, and then between post and the actual repair I get them back 2 months later. Rinse and repeat.@WhyAreWeWaiting Thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear that
Truly. Way to (repeatedly) let down all the people who have supported them over the years.
I agree these things are finicky and difficult to maintain at best. I've worked thru multiple problems with 7-8 warranty requests and multiple maintenance issues. It only takes a couple of minutes each month to clean the critical components but it will probably eventually plug if you don't do it.
i do not have the glass mouthpiece from grasshopper ... i have some generic drip tips ... the o-rings i linked to are just a touch thicker than the o-rings that came on the generic drip tips (see photo)hey bro I picked these up but they’re thinner than the one that ships with the glass mouthpiece and don’t fit.
how did you get it to work? You can see for comparison the stock o-ring is thicker
