The VAS is there. It's festering inside of you. You don't realize it, but you already have VAS. Give it time, and you too will join us.

:borg: ReSiStAnCe Is FuTiLe! :borg:
LOL. I just got a Pax 2 to hold me over, of course I get when I'm completely out, so I haven't even had the chance to try it out, hopefully later today :).

But I'm hoping the GH will be the one for me. I'm the only one in my house that smokes, so it will very rarely, if ever, used as a session. It seems to meet all the needs of a personal, portable vape, and from the positives I've been reading perfect for my medicating.

I'll stay open minded, and I WILL NOT RESIST!! :tup:

I've got the funnel designed and ready to print, but I need someone with a pair of digital calipers to accurately measure the outside diameter of the oven (without the mouthpiece, naturally). That lucky person will receive a free prototype funnel to confirm it fits the GH. Once I have direct confirmation the funnel fits perfectly, I'll be listing it on my store
Wish I had some calipers!

It would also be nice to get a measurement of the interior diameter of the bowl, so that we could start looking for extra fine SS screens of the right size for times when kief is on the menu…

@slcbdco You are correct about Philly. I use to live in Camden NJ which is right across from philly.
How is the battery life after all this time for you?

I have a GH charger which pretty much stays in the car and a external charger that stays in the house. With an extra battery, I never find myself not able to vape because of a dead battery. Anecdotal of course because I haven't been cataloging my usage hours except to say that I have a high tolerance and I'm on vacation ... :-)

@slcbdco thank you for your real life update. I am really looking forward to my GH, as I need stealth as number 1 importance. I unfortunately have to medicate when with other people who do not, and they can not know that I am.

My Pax2 is really great for stealth, and on 1 petal I get good dose of Medicine without the telltale clouds of vapor/smoke for others to see. Here is my actual question (sorry for all the other filler), but does the GH provide good medication dose on lowest setting with minimal to no vapor exhale?

Thanks for any input you may have from your experience.

You get way more medicated per hit with a GH vs. a pax2, I have both. In the amount of time a pax2 takes to warm up on temp 2, I can load a GH take 2 or 3 hits, be ripped and put it away before the pax2 is even ready to go. Not to mention those few hits are more flavorful in addition to being more potent. I use my pax2 for vaping tobacoo and other hebs now, which its really good at.

@Ratchett great explination on clouds! Ive recently stopped chasing clouds and am enjoying my experience. Im wondering where the GH stands with ghost hits/effect.

The best way to do that is to pack the bowl completely tight full and use it between temps 2 and 3

Sadly, it's not. Got my hopper today and the chamber is a lot thinner than the crafty/mighty one so it falls right through :(.

Side note: Anyone with a GH have a distinct "whistling" sound when inhaling?

Whistling sound is just the sound of the air pulling through the air holes, its normal.

Would it be possible for you to use your simple country lobbyist skills to lobby Trevor and Matt to change the charger connector finish from smooth to knurled?

Also, I like the natural Ti finish, but when I have two of them, I would like to be able to see which Hopper is which without checking the serial number. I had a thought that maybe there could be an option for natural Ti finish with just the backend being colored. So everything, the main body and even the clicker would be natural Ti, and there would just be a small band of color showing at the back between the clip and the clicker. I think it would add a subtle accent that would look good even if you only had one Hopper.

So could you use your lobbying skills to ask for a “semi-colored” option? :)

I think there is a production efficiency reason why the clip is SS but I'm not sure. They are working on new charger concept for down the road, wasn't quite sure if was meant to extend battery apart that whatever it is it will connect the same way the magnetic charger connects.

Great to hear so many new folks are getting they're GH's and treatin themselves!

Thanks for the tip @slcbdco. Looking forward to testing that out for stealth/effect. Some draw restriction probably but Im sure still very enjoyable.

LOL. You must be ripped right now. I wasn't talking about the clip at all. It's fine that it is SS.

What I'd like to see is a color back end mated to a standard Ti so if you have two standard Ti Hoppers you can tell them apart easily. And a rougher surface on the charger connector so it's easier to pull off without yanking on the cable. That's all.

@slcbdco you have the pax 2 and the GH. I know they're different but I've seen some say that you need to let the herb dry a little for the pax 2 to hit better. What about the GH, can you put moist in or is it better to let it dry some first?

The GH won't care at all since it's convection.
Obviously drier is better since it will make vapor faster. If it's still moist, the moisture will be one of the first things to be evaporated away.

Moist bud will work fine in convection vaporizers because the first hit or two will dry it out. Normal vapor will follow.

Something I made, I figured a few could relate to. Especially the GH crowd.

Related, does it work well (as predicted) when not using a grinder? So if I were to just pinch a piece of nugg off & stuff it in, is it effective?

I would assume it to be much like the herbie where you take a few tasty rips off a whole nug to get it going then use a paper clip or something to "chop" it up. The next few pulls on herbie are the milkiest so I am assuming conduction of GH would work the same in this case as well. Would love to see a real world test.

Guys i want to buy the grasshopper but i have a doubt, the silicone protection for the lips is included with the grasshopper or i have to buy in the grasshopper site?
Oh and there is a real difference in terms of cooling time of the device/mouthpiece with the titanium version? It worth the extra 45 dollars on that aspect?

Sorry forfor my terrible english but i'm italian.
Thanks in advance.

I would highly expect you would receive with your unit. If not, these look like a good alternative.
For the buck and change for 10, might be good to have anyway? They look like they will extend the vapor path to boot.

I really like the funnel on page 32, seems perfect.
That funnel looks good..... I was thinking to just use a doobtubes or similar to keep some ground flowers and just tap/pour it into the oven. Does anyone find that a bad/messy idea?

That's what I do for my pax2. Just pour from the plastic tube and tamp...but maybe the oven opening is larger and easier to fill cleanly on the pax2.

Just tried and INH caps do not fit. There just a little to big.
Thank You..... boy I seemed to start something which I don't believe they understood why I was asking the question......

So it is a tiny bit smaller huh.... well I happened to of found a very good glass tube "Love Rose" {used for crack I believe} any way it was just a tiny bit smaller than the Inhalater normal caps... so now I'm back to thinking I should be able to find a few smaller tubes that might do the trick.....

The "trick" to clear the air...... I hope your all sitting down because I know this might just not make any sense to almost all of you because the stealth of this device is probably it's strongest selling point.... however thats not the case for me..... I'm most interested in the awesome convectional heating system and I want the glass tube to slide into the chamber with almost 3" of glass sticking out where the cool ass pen looking mouthpiece should be...... this simple and very tasty ultra convenient method ... loading or unloading is a breeze... just vacuum up your herb into the glass tube.... after fully extracted remove and blow it out.....easy peasy lemon squeezy
let the lashing begin...thank you sir may I have another......:peace:

Edit:

Ahhhh the old "Clump and Crumble" a Sticks technique..... drop in a clump or 2 or 3 and take a few rips then pour out into your hand to crumble it up to go back in to be finished off... I'm betting it will work wonderfully..... I would be careful with damp or not quite dried properly yet herb with conduction or convection the extra wetness can easily reach very uncomfortable levels and very quickly..... so look out for that.... but the "Clump & Crumble" should work GREAT...:tup:

I too would expect it to ship with the heat shield, however I don't think that's a useful alternative?

They look very much like the MPs that Delta 9 (or is it 'UpTech'?) use on Omicron carts. They are actually 40mm (not 38) long but otherwise seem the same. The fit onto the OD of standard E-cig carts.

The issue is they are 9mm in ID to match the cart. GH is more like 16mm OD? I don't think they're going to fit very well. OTOH, a piece of high temp Silicone rubber tube should do a good job?

Yea if looks aren't an issue surely some apporpiate gauge silicone tube would do it!? All of my vapes have had silicone tube jimmied up to the end at one point or another! I almost consider it tradition! Haha.
