4 weeks since shipping confirmation, I was asking about when he ordered...

Since reading comprehension is the momentary hiccup, allow me to state that he said 4 weeks since address confirmation, not shipping confirmation.
Won't even go there with @OldCreepy , that was not pretty dude.

D'oh!!! I mis-typed, 4 weeks since address confirmation. You are correct.

Hello,

I have been a long time lurker. After waiting for my July 2015 preorder, I just decided to get it from Vapefiend, and after a week long wait, it finally arrived today!

First Impression: Like others have stated before, the build quality is amazing. After inspection the exterior, I pulled some hot air through the device. Not to my surprise, the mouthpiece gets kinda hot... However, it's very manageable. To compare the experience, it's like getting into a hot bath. Soon as you put your foot in the tub, it's very hot, but after a while, you get used to the temperature.

Charging: After visiting this forum religiously, waiting for my Hopper, I have also noticed a correlation between the stock charger and failure rate. So, I have ordered an external charger (Xstar MC1 Plus). But I, an impatient man, tried out the stock charger. Interestingly, if I put my ear close to the hopper while it's charging, I can hear some kind of weird static sound, like the kind you hear on a poorly recorded song. I'm not remotely knowledgeable on electricity to find out the cause, so if fellow Hopperians can try it to make sure that it's not only my device that's doing this, I would be grateful.

Overall, I feel like this would be my final and ultimate vaporizer for years on end.

Just wondering where you are located? I just ordered from them also, and I'm wondering how long shipping will take from London to Chicago. I believe their email said 5-10, but up to 20 days for US customers... I figure a little firsthand experience might get me a more accurate window?

 

[con2010]

maybe shipping will pick up, why would new individual purchases pay 225. for a ti and wait a year to get it

 

[SavageCore]

VapeFiend is getting SS Hoppers at the end of the month.

I got a blue Ti on the way, might even have it tomorrow

You should do mine went out Special Delivery for free

The same reason preorders paid 200 and are waiting over a year I suppose...

Because it's cool.

It was actually supposed to take 10 days, but I mistyped my zip code so the package got fumbled around for a week, so it took me 14 days. I'm located in Tennessee.

Thanks for the info! I just ordered this morning and I'm already antsy for delivery. Can't wait!!!

Reporting to you from Hopper Labs: Great week over here. Things are moving along smoothly and we are almost ready to get a huge batch of Grasshoppers shipped. Please keep an eye out for address confirmation emails coming soon. These are sent to the email address you use to log in to your account on GHVape.com. A good way to know if you have been sent an address confirmation email is to check your order status on your account. The order status will change from "In Progress" to "Processed" once your address confirmation email is sent. As always, we thank everyone for the support and patience. We are working hard to get through these pre-orders quickly and are excited to get everyone's Grasshoppers out in the wild! Now, back to work, -The Team from the facebook page.

I'm still waiting as well - mine is supposed to ship in March, but we'll see. Speaking of which, today marks my one year anniversary of preordering!

Me too!

[Bass Vaper]

They told me today not to expect my order til April. Website says estimated ship date is March. My original estimated ship date is listed as April of '15.

 

[Tdtour]

I just hope its a good sign that they are shipping out preorders. Its only been two days since they raised their prices.

It seem when we reach the middle of the month, the shipping date on their website gets pushed back a month. So when you order its like 60 to 75 days out. But we all know its longer than that.

Not gonna lie... part of me would be very happy if those paying a whopping $25 more still had to wait the year or more the rest of us will have endured

You'll likely see it come into NY fairly quick. Then it will hang up for 2 or 3 days in customs. After that it may sit in Jamaica NY for another 2-3 days. From there it will travel with USPS thru normal channels, but a lot slower than Priority Mail. Just when you think it is going to be where you want it to be, it hangs due to it being Registered Mail from the UK. You may want to order some batteries and any other accessories you want direct from GHL while you wait. Follow up with them to ask them to ship right away.

I jumped in 3 days before the price increase

but I also been stalking this vape for 2 years and no way in hell I have enough patient for that long, sorry but I would drive my self and hopper labs insane if I would have been an early backer.

Just a F.Y.I . . . . .

congrats VegNVape on your receiving your device ! to be honest though if Zion had been sold to EU I would have had that instead, but probably Grasshopper fits my needs much better then the Zion

how is it anyway? because I already know the Grasshopper is amazing

"I have an inside source in the business that says stainless steel hoppers will be coming at the end of the month. I don't know how many will be coming, but they will be coming.
If you think back to last month, Hopper Labs was saying they would begin preorder shipments in February. Nothing happened until the last week/last couple of days of the month, but they did start in February.

Having experienced this, and hearing that Stainless Steel hoppers are coming at the end of the month, I believe that Hopper Labs is working on production each month and sending shipments at the end of each month. For the future I expect this to continue to be the model that they will practice.

I will not comment further on how I got this information, since I would like them to keep giving me information. I understand the policy on this page of PROOF, PROOF, PROOF, so I understand that this will probably be removed.

However if you look at my history I have not posted anything else, but have just been monitoring this reddit, waiting on any new information for the past couple of months.
I thought some of you would care to know before this is removed.
stay lucky"

[WhyAreWeWaiting]

1) They would be waiting for parts because they said so. It's an iterative design process, they see what parts of their design needs revisions & then they make fixes. From the Feb update I get the impression that they are confident enough in their latest design to order enough parts to fulfill the rest of the orders(I know its been said before..). I should also add, that they haven't just been waiting on parts as they have still been shipping an unknown qty of GHs.

2) Because they don't/haven't updated their website. They don't seem to care that their estimates & info they put on their website are not accurate.

3) We have no idea what their staff is up to. It's really not very big, perhaps they are taking the time to build assembly jigs, produce assembly/QA/QC documentation,etc. No idea, but there is no reason to believe that they "have staff sitting around twiddling their thumbs". What gives you the impression that they are "struggling financially"?

Do you even read posts before you reply to them?

You should probably stop making assumptions and leave moderating to moderators. It's clear that you don't understand our policy, but it's not clear what you think our policy is. If you want a clarification, send a PM. This is not an invitation to discuss it here.

I apologize to @lovecrush then—but I wish that had been more obvious.

I should have clicked the link I guess.

I hope to get my hopper before April 20th, which is next month. Come on HL.
