Here is how I interpreted it. Vaguely remember it from childhood.

Apologies to Canadians, "Birdhead" in my neck of the woods is a more positive connotation of "stoner". I forgot what that means in Canadian even though I'm an avid TPB fan, its just water under the fridge
@Vapetrees If they are Grasshopper Clouds at the GIM then yes thats exactly what I meant by birdhead

Hahaha that's good to know. I was so confused..
Oh and I'm not Canadian.. just old. That saying is from the 90s.

The biggest difference will be weight and scratch resistance.
Now that I've had a couple days with my vapefiend hopper, I just have to echo many of the other comments made about it on FC. For me it IS a game changer. Finally a true one hitter in vape form.
My technique for dealing with the hot vapour which is a little harsh is to inhale until it gets to hot, then revert to cigar puffs. I've found it makes a difference too where you "aim" the hopper in your mouth. I aim the gas stream down or away from directly at my throat.
Other than that, this thinger is a beast! Loving it so far. Disclosure, I tend to love all vales when new (except vapir prima, didn't care for that one at all)
Edit, this is my 100th post, will try to stay quiet a while. I like round numbers
Edit 2, hey torontonians, is it time for a grasshopper aficionado meet up? A dispensary tour maybe? Ha ha would be great!

If I'm not mistaken it's also much less apt to set off metal detectors. Any scientists out there to confirm or refute this?

Hello; I'm one of those guys in the Vape Lounge waiting on his 1-year-ago ordered Hopper.
In the meanwhile, for the past few years, I've been a Pax user... every day.
I could never smoke joints; they made me high, but also, oddly sick feeling; it was always a heavy experience, foggy-headed and paranoid.
Then one day a friend gave me a hit off of his Volcano; something I'd never seen before. The experience from that was Splendid, with a capital S. A pure, clean, calm high. Two weeks later, the Pax 1 came out, and that was it for me. I became a regular user, medicating daily.
I say all that up front because I'm trying to understand what to expect from the GH. Wouldn't it be closer to a Volcano experience rather than a "smoking" experience??
So, if anyone can clarify these past few posts with respect to the experience of the GH versus the Pax; or, GH versus the Volcano, that would help calibrate my expectations...
I can't wait to be able to contribute here after I receive it!
Thanks, all.

Gonna mull this over and see if there's anything I can clarify about what I wrote.
I am reminded of this article and wonder if you've seen it, about what happens at different temps. It provides some basic insight into 'levels' of effect.

There's also this one about the difference between combusting and vaping;

Apologies if these are not 'new to you'.
I'll say again though, I can't make the comparison yet, 'cause I'm also still waiting on a Hopper.

Either the SS or TI both set off metal detectors. It's better to just put your grasshopper through with your keys, it hides best in plain sight
Good day hoppers..Bit of a funny question i happen to put the switch end of my hopper in my mouth ie like when you do that with a pen..i noticed it felt like when you was a kid and stuck your tongue on a 12v battery.. What i'm getting at here is do you think this means the hoppers is still drawing power out of the battery when its turned off?

Considering the charging occurs on the back end of the unit. I would say you got an electrical shock after completing the circuit. The positive and negative terminal are the push button and the outer ring. Notice the spacer between them keeps them isolated.
No it does not mean the unit is on, even when off.

Actually, it never gets old, reading this stuff. Thanks for the links!
I'm assuming (hoping, really) that the GH experience is closer to a "true vape" (ie, Volcano-grade) experience, and something like the Pax2 (conduction) is - while WAY better than combustion - a little towards the "smoke" experience because of partial burn or browning of the material.
Looking forward to hearing how you compare the GH when you get it, @vapviking!

At 1 year wait, you are ahead of me in the line! I've only waited a little over 8 months.
If the Volcano pushed the right buttons for you, have you had a chance to try any other S&B vapes, like Mighty? That's daily driver for me, with Pax2 for backup or just a change of pace (like, to slow sipping! but that's nice sometimes) and the Pax2 will kick your butt. Though you may not want to spend $ if Pax2 is doing it and Hopper is on the way...
That's gonna be a big noticeable difference (besides taste) between Hopper and Pax2; draw resistance.

I can tell you both the gh is finally a 'true vape'. I always refer to the avb for proof and i can get mine to dark brown/black. Without combustion.
With all the conduction styles, excluding pax 2, i have only been able to get a light brown color.
I actually have been using the gh with hydrotube in place of my extreme q. Its just so much faster.

Umm, I think the Grasshopper may be curing my VAS...
I received both the Firefly 2 and the Boundless CFX this past week, but even after a few sessions with each, I just wanted to go back to my Grasshopper.
The FF2 is a great vape but the GH easily wins on draw restriction, speed of extraction, build quality, no need to stir, etc. The vapor is definitely cooler and smoother with the FF2, best I've ever tasted actually, but the GH vapor is fantastic anyway and I prefer the bigger, more satisfying hits.
The CFX is also a great vape and I think it will do nicely for those times when I want a session vape, but it's not even in the same league as the Hopper in terms of vapor quality, draw restriction, and efficiency. I do like it though and I've never seen a vaporizer have such even extraction - the AVB is perfectly cooked and even throughout, and it's 100% foolproof. No technique required, just pull from the mouthpiece and get vapor.

Ive seen only 1 portable vape extracting more evenly than the hopper and that one is the crafty,
but hey it was made by zeh germans.

Yeah, I never tried the Mighty; The laws of coincidence drove me to the Pax 1; it came out a week after I did the Volcano. And I do love my Pax 2--- the draw sucks sometimes but it's a damn good reliable product.
Frankly it's been so long since that Volcano experience that I just imagine that the Pax is as good as it gets... but I know I am wrong! Science!! lol
Sorry you're behind me in line for the Hopper. It's been a frustrating ride; but based on problems an working out bugs, I'm happy to wait until the recipe is just right on the way they make them.

I have had two weeks of everyday use with mine now, still going great. I love this thing, it is amazing. I keep wondering how long it's going to be until I reach for my Mighty, but so far I haven't. I like to carry it in my shirt pocket and sip here and there, but love using it with my tube best of all.
I look forward to receiving my pre-order so that I will always have a backup. I really have grown quite attached to this thing.

Thank you.
This helps ease both the pre-orderer's remorse and the wait.
I do hope you keep hopping right along.

You found an Easter Egg! You'll be even more fun at parties! Nothing wrong with your hopper though

Well...I'm just about at the 3 month mark owning this Ti GH and it is still working flawlessly for me. 
One thing I did not mention in the small review I did about a month ago is how EASY this thing is to keep clean!
I have not owned a vape, other than the Cloud/Evo that is this easy to keep clean. This is my go to vape daily, and I'm lucky if it needs a cleaning maybe every week to 10 days. It is so thorough at extracting everything, that what is left just needs to be tapped out. The walls of the vape only get a small buildup (which takes many days) on them, and is easily wiped off with q-tips and a little iso.
And the strains I run through this vape aren't exactly light on trichomes...currently in my quiver are Twisted Fruit (MotoRebel) and Black Triangle (Bodhi).
I still have to admit that other than the Evo, this is my next favorite vape...period. And for portability, it has no equal...so far. Come to think about it, both of these vapes are excellent at extraction, and that is probably the main reason why they are both easy to keep clean. (I have only used both vapes with flowers, not concentrates...I know cleaning is a bit more involved when using extracts a lot).
Still really looking forward to when the Square comes out to compare....but, looks like at least 3rd quarter for that one. Learned to be patient waiting 2+ years for the 'Hopper, so half a year is nothing waiting on the Square.

After a good 6 months of rolling it around in my noggin, I finally pulled the trigger. I was trying to decide between the ff2, grasshopper, and crafty/mighty.
My estimated ship date is August, what are the chances I'll have it before labor day?
Let me know if you decide to go forward with this.

So ive been Using this mouthpiece for a while now, and ive got some pms since my original post. So ive been wondering if u guys want me to make them and sell them on ebay or something. If so ill send my gf to make a bunch :-). (can be made more pleasing to the eye as the guy who made them makes some amazing things).
Let me know if you decide to go forward with this.
