Discontinued The Grasshopper

I tried it in a dark room. You can wrap your hand around it like smoking a cigarette "military-style", that helps a bit. But the LED shines trough the gaps between the closed fingers and it's not very comfortable.
The Light is not a big issue for me. But a stealth-mode would be a nice to have.

I've got a few ideas in mind for how to cover the lights/airholes without preventing airflow. Once I have a hopper in my hands I'll begin experimenting with various shroud designs.

I personally like all of your ideas!

Thank you Mr. Niceguy for testing CE24's recommendation.

I don't necessarily plan on bringing and using this in the movie theater, but I think the idea of having the possibility to go full stealth, save the smell, is a great one. Sometimes my college has movie nights outside. No staff around but I wouldn't want people asking questions either, that would be the perfect situation. After all, all I have is a pen in my pocket ;)

Rather than a sock, if you have eyeglasses or are like me and really really like to keep your computer screen dust free, a microfiber cloth to wrap around the device? I don't know if oils from our fingers leave prints on the device, though if it does I will certainly be using the microfiber just to wipe it down.

Edit: Also the skirt seems like a hilariously wonderful idea. 1 thing, the light would probably then be directed up or down depending on which way it's facing. Possibly a flashlight effect.... But then our Grasshopper is a flashlight!

@OF posted a brilliant idea earlier in the thread about how to cover the lights without restricting airflow:


OF said:
Here's my suggestion for a starting point on baffles for the intake.

Cut a strip of 'cardboard box' say 1.5 inches by two. You want the corrugated fiberboard type, with the solid covers over a corrugated center. Then strip off one face so you have the corrugated part on one side, facing on the other.

Spray paint the corrugated part flat black. "Coloring it in" with a Sharpie would also work, but flat black paint will generally be a better light absorber. When dry, wrap it around the unit over the vents and secure with a rubber band. Air will enter the gaps in the corrugation and easily make the right angle turn into the vents, photons (light) coming out will not be able to turn so will reflect around until absorbed.

But I like it!
Inhalater has a nice bright LED on it, as well. From 10 feet away it would cast an 8x10' light on a warehouse wall. Covering it with electrical tape helped, but kinda sucked that you couldn't tell settings and such without being able to see the light.

The skirt idea sounds dandy - enough to focus the light without blocking airflow.

edit - or what @Stu said @OF said earlier... ;)

The bright light might be a problem in a movie theater, but most folks wouldn't be vaping in a theater. The stealth mode would be a nice option GHL if you are reading this.

maybe GHL could mod the firmware to engage a "stealth mode" by holding the clicker down for a few seconds while turning it on? I can't imagine what else could do it in version 1.0 since it utilizes a one button operation. (I remember a thread a long time ago about how they couldn't figure out a good "battery low" indicator with only the one l.e.d. light that has just 2 colors.)
But like others have said: so many people use a vape pen now, and they all have an l.e.d. Sometimes the best way to hide is in plain sight.

Not trying to hijack the grasshopper thread or anything, but while your on the topic of vaping in the theater I thought I'd just throw this out there for anyone unfamiliar with the product.
If you want to vape in the movie theater absolutely nothing is more stealthy and discrete than the mystabis inhaler.:)

I am not sure that is a good thing to be doing with working capital. If they see massive refunds, then what? After two or three years or whatever they probably should have worked this stuff out already.

The folks that buy a GH now and having to wait say 8 -10 months to get their vaporizers are helping to support the company economically. I would assume they would need the money for operating costs.

What about a silicone mouthpiece, but instead of being flush with the hole, it would taper down into a 2 or 3 foot whip. You could keep it in s pocket and run the tubing inside a jacket or sleeve.

Guys, this is not a thread to be discussing taxation of cannabis. Feel free to start a thread about it the appropriate area, or take it to PM.

Thanks.

Nice catch - I edited just seconds before your post to end discussion. Thanks!

Are the LED lights that bright where you can't even loosely block them with your hand? Not grasp where it restricts the airflow, but you know what I mean. I think the option to turn off the lights is a good idea, but I don't foresee this being a problem for me.

I can't wait for more people to get their hopper and report on it. This thread has like 4 main topics in it shipping times/bad communication, hopper problems, how great the hopper is when there's no problem with it, and how to hide the led so you can vape in stealth mode.:horse::spliff::science:

Unfortunately guys my hopper died a couple of days ago. Something in the back end just stopped working. It went strong under HEAVY usage for almost 2 months. Then I used it one night, sat it on my end table and went to fire it up the next morning and got cop lights. Blue red blue red ect ect ect... Was quite a bummer but the issue is being taken care of with a quickness. Thank god too because it's set a standard that no portable can ever reach in my opinion. Hell, I haven't even used a desktop since I got it. The nano is on again now though.
