as far as I read in this thread and think it was also mentioned by ghl the clicking in when in use is normal... that is why it is called grasshopper ... I suppose... but ask ghl...

The clicking while in use is normal, but shouldn't be loud enough to hear unless you're in a quiet room. I think they said it was the heater cycling on and off?

Thx fellas. All good then. It is aubible, but in a quiet room. Strange that it's sporadic, and the other one never clicked at all. No worries here.

I got a grasshopper coming in soon (hopefully). For those with units, what would you say is the best portable to complement the grasshopper? Assuming price isn't an issue.
I'm thinking maybe something with a larger bowl for groups, or something with better taste? Lotus? Mighty?

Depends on how you define compliment. To me, I'd go for something slow and chill - something like the Arizer Solo which you can sip on for 20 minutes. The GH is a cloud machine, why buy another cloud machine?

Interesting viewpoint. Thanks for the suggestion. Would you say this partly because of the fact that the grasshopper mouthpiece gets hot over time?
Another general question: How would you rate the taste on the Grasshopper, in reference to other vapes like the solo.
No, its because the grasshopper is a convection based vaporizer which heats up in 5 seconds. Conduction based vaporizers like the Solo take several minutes before they finally reach temperature. The difference is you are forced to slow down and take more small puffs. Cloud chasing vapes like this encourage you to take 3-4 big puffs then empty and refill.
The hopper is a convection vape so it's taste is pretty superior to many other portable vapes on the market. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most pure flavor possible), I'd personally put the Grasshopper at a 7 or 8

I would have to strongly recommend the mighty! (if money isn't an option).
It is the perfect group session vape.
It keeps up with everyone. People can pull as fast/slow as the want and it will keep up.
Hmmmmm, I think you hit the nail on the head, it depends what qualities you define as complimenting.
I personally never use my solo in group sessions (unless to support another vape in a very large group).
The solo has a smaller bowl (in comparison to the mighty) and sometimes it's heater has trouble keeping up with the heavy hitters in my group.
Depends how patient your group is.
After having the crafty/mighty in our arsenal no one ever asks me to break my solo out these days.
Just my own experience.

Just chiming in, i've used the GH in small groups and it's been fine. I wouldn't say it's a great group vape, but it's pretty entertaining watching people start coughing from the big hits the GH can produce. They're always amazed by how powerful it is.
Plus you get to make the joke of telling them they need to suck harder, since most are use to the slow draw technique from other vapes

@PAZ excellent so glad you got your GH and sounds as though you like it alot.... would you say that it spanks your XP.... with very little to even make a fair comparison with..... in other words does the XP measure up at all to the GH or is it just superior in most every way......
One last question.... how long have you had it?
One last question.... how long have you had it?
I pre-ordered last week (ss) and it shows a Feb 2016 estimated ship date. Sounds like that might not be rock solid. After reading this thread I am really excited to get it in my hands. I have a Pax2 and I think this will complement that really well. I have had a MFLB for awhile and although I think the GH and MFLB are similar in the way they are used but the MFLB isn't very stealth. The huge clouds I have seen in the videos look like a lot more than I get out of the MFLB.

I admit I wrote that out of frustration. My "evidence" is circumstantial, and i broke the forum rules by not addressing my suspicions directly with a mod.
I apologize to all for potentially instigating further negativity in here.
I wasn't familiar at all with the forum rules before I had a temporary ban placed on my account.
Now that I'm allowed back in here I can see where what I said was in the wrong.
So happy vaping, happy holidaze, and may there be quick grasshopper shipping to all!

I agree that the GH can produce more clouds but the mflb can be hidden completely in small hands as long as it is used native.

But then you just exhaled something from nothing which looks really fucking weird.
Its the device itself when in use that is stealthy, not how you are using it. I just like walking around with the gH all exposed for the world to see because everyone assumes its a ecig and even if I use it right in front of them they will think its an ecig until they get close enough to smell the herb. I've even shown my abv to cigarette smokers that were curious about how to vape without those stupid liquids.
Note, I use peppermint when out; people smell more peppermint than herb but can still note out the herb smell. Most people don't seem to care though since it isn't smoke and I don't plume vapor when near people, if I am near people I lower down to 2 and try and limit my hit so I get more air inhaled after inhaling vapor.

Not if you ghost the hit. But you make a good point. Now that its cold out its just me exhaling like normal

I'm also interested in this. I used to have a Inhalater XP but lost it. It was my daily driver and I'm hoping to replace it with my incoming grasshopper. Switching from the Inhalater to the grasshopper, is there anything you miss?

But then you leave you hand just covering your mouth for like 10 seconds until you randomly exhale a heavier/hotter breathe which makes more visible vapor in the cold. I was just outside yesterday evening in the cold and my normal exhales were nowhere near as vapor oriented as my light hits on 2. In the end as long as you aren't near people no one will know or care.Not if you ghost the hit. But you make a good point. Now that its cold out its just me exhaling like normal
@lreinirz it contributes, but the bigger reason is that there are many neutral flavored components in the air path so your herb gets emphasized.

There are a few things you can do to increse the stealth factor of exhaled vape hits but in the end you hit the nail on the head!
Enjoy that hopper!! Still playing the wait game.
Im curious if GH owners mostly use their hopper with or without water? Lots of videos with water which is cool but Ill use native 95% of the time and water on occasion. If you could only use the hopper native would it still be your go to device?

wow. what a massive thread! maybe someone have already mentioned this, but i will ask anywayz:
have someone suggested to Hooper Labs to make PinnaclePro style bullets for GH? that would be so, so, so, so, so useful in daily vaping operations. also cartridges for concentrate would be very nice.
if not Hooper Labs, than maybe some 3rd party producer can do this?

For on the go, yes, for at home use I'd probably go for the Air since I don't like going above 3 on the GH without water. My throat has been mean to me about high temps with vapor. If the Air could produce clouds consistently like the GH, or if the GH were just a little cooler like the Air. You could probably couple a whip with the silicone mouthpiece to achieve that effect, but I don't have access to that.
For those who didn't see my Reddit post, I am gonna get to compare the VapeXhale Evo and the Grasshopper. I want to put it in the larger review, but I'll probably post comparison videos. I'm on break from school for a few weeks, so I'll have nothing to do but make y'all happy.

I would also love to see a capsule / removable chamber for the GH......I've been doing some experimenting with different materials but so far no real luck. I've successfully modified a Inhalater Capsule to fit the GH and it works really good but you can't use the GH mouthpiece. I'd like to see a stainless steel chamber that screws apart for the GH that would pop in and you could have multiple ready for on the go. Or possibly a chamber completely made out of screen....
I would also like to see GHL or another group come out with a slightly extended mouthpiece that has more cooling features like a mini spiral to increase the length of the vapor path making the vapor cooler and also the mouthpiece.......
I've been thinking about this too, and I really like the idea of wooden mouthpiece that simply slides over the existing GH mouthpiece and extends it a few inches. Maybe ED can try making one at some point, if people are interested.
