... made me thing off this
very interesting point. what you say about idea to put on those threads a water-based lubricant to increase connection between body and backend? that could help electricity to travel more easy, right? or maybe a graphite powder could do?To add to my earlier comment, I suspect that back-end heat issues might be attributed to a compromised connection between the battery/body and the back-end itself, perhaps due to a failure to fully thread the two pieces together for a positive connection. I would think that even a tiny bit of residue on the threads which are CNC-machined to precise tolerances. could have the potential to prevent proper threading. The Grasshopper has no wires. It relies on inductive pickup for electrical pathways. Therefore, moderately close attention paid to the threading process post battery change seems to be in order. Just sayin',
That's interesting because I only notice the bridge on my SS and not on the Ti. Like I've said before the SS backend does get hot and my Ti one doesn't. I have recently had the flashing blue/red lights on the SS, so it may be faulty and that's the reason the backend is getting hot. I also tried my Ti backend on the SS and it didn't get hot. I have sent my SS back to them to diagnose it. They replied fast and asked me to send everything back.
the question is- do i need it? theoretically, is better connection could result in cooler backend?Hi Vaperist,
I would recommend using a special lubricant which is inert, and intrinsically safe, and designed for metal applications. Any decent hardware store or electronic supply house should have just what you need. Although, I know absolutely nothing about the relevance this advice may or may not have there in Latvia.
Good question, I doubt that's the problem though. It can't be that easy or else GH labs would have approved it or brought it up. If it could be an easy fix I think they would have started doing that, applying lubricant, from factory or at least mention it to buyers.
There does exist machine oil which meets all of the relevant criteria required for this specific application. It is super common in applications where electricity is involved, and usually also involves mediation of dissimilar materials issues. Is this helpful ?
Yassssss lmao
I concur.....a hot backend will often have me reaching for the appropriate lubricant to address the situation
Excellent!
Yeah that's why I didn't worry about it. I was just happy with the performance of this Vaporizer. I used to use my Mighty when I wanted to be blown out of my mind, and I haven't used it ever since I got my Grasshopper. It feels so tedious now compared to loading it and being high in less than a minute with the GH.
Your story makes me pleased, though even more impatient, that my preorder is fo a Ti.
Thanks, I was hoping I could help those that are worried about the threading.The Mighty is still awesome though, I just don't use it much because I need to be discrete in my studio and the GH is perfect for that. I take a hit use a smoke buddy and the smell is almost nonexistent. I'm also not forced into having sessions, but I wish I could use my Mighty openly without worrying about the smell. Oh, and you'll love the Ti in my experience it does heat up and produce vapor faster than the SS. However, the flavor is a bit better on my SS. When I get it back I'll see if that's really the case with or if it's because my SS is defective.
