Because as I've stated multiple times it isn't how a properly functioning Hopper acts. Lights should only blink right before the battery dies.Hi Moe if its an issue with my hopper why is it only the blue light that flickers? And also only when i draw on my hopper? I think its just a power thing with the battery time will tell
There is definitely a difference between the intended flashing of the led and the flickering. If the blue lights flicker in a draw, most likely it is tied to the power cycling of the heater and if your hopper still beats the air like normal, it should be considered a normally functioning unit. The phenomenon reminds me of my old cars in which the headlights would dim when another electrical accessory such as the stereo amp or AC was turned on.

i think that there is one cool thing to do in this thread while waiting for Hopper pre-orders. how about posting a pictures here of all the accessories and stuff that people have bought while waiting for a Hopper??? or have a Hopper already. i think that it would be awesome thing to see how each one of this community have prepared that Hopper's baby room.
me myself have bought. MFLB glass stem, an Arizer Solo bubbler stem, Xtar charger, Jyarz herb container, grinder for a course grinding, 2A wall USB adapter, a cigar tube to be used as a case. and still waiting for a measurement spoons for easy filling. so i cant post a full picture jet.
but i will....
who knows. maybe there are a cool and handy stuff that others have prepared for hopping that others didn't think of. lets share ideas!

If you haven't yet, I suggest you check out @Ratchett's site to see all the great gh stuff he has created. I can personally vouch for the AWESOME leather case he designed for the gh.i think that there is one cool thing to do in this thread while waiting for Hopper pre-orders. how about posting a pictures here of all the accessories and stuff that people have bought while waiting for a Hopper??? or have a Hopper already. i think that it would be awesome thing to see how each one of this community have prepared that Hopper's baby room.

If you need a spoon as a filling aid and don't want to get one of @Ratchett's tools, I suggest a salt spoon. I use one with all of my vapes. Very handy and easy.
I use an SKB iSeries waterproof cigar case. Holds my hopper, 2 batteries and a jar. Cost about 20 bucks I think.i think that there is one cool thing to do in this thread while waiting for Hopper pre-orders. how about posting a pictures here of all the accessories and stuff that people have bought while waiting for a Hopper??? or have a Hopper already. i think that it would be awesome thing to see how each one of this community have prepared that Hopper's baby room.

Nice I like that case , it looks like it has a lot of protection from getting crushedI use an SKB iSeries waterproof cigar case. Holds my hopper, 2 batteries and a jar. Cost about 20 bucks I think.
Its a really durable plastic with a rubber liner on the inside to seal it and optional foam inserts

very nice case! but can you put charger inside? or maybe you don't need to, as 3 batteries can carry you trough a vaping day with no problem, right?I use an SKB iSeries waterproof cigar case. Holds my hopper, 2 batteries and a jar. Cost about 20 bucks I think.
I've actually never used the charger. I use an external charger and yeah 3 batteries is more than enough to get me through the day but I bet it would fit

@Nssl I have one someone posted on here and it was ten bucks. It's been holding up well. I can carry three or four batteries, a doob tube, and my two GH's. I usually only carry the one I'm going to use though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00V...r+pen+case&dpPl=1&dpID=41qT5OZquaL&ref=plSrch
I shared the Gh with four people again yesterday through my bubbler and no one wanted to take a second rip after they took the first one lol. I had to take one for the team and clear the bowl lol. I am very amazed at how well my GH keeps on working, I really hope I never have issues with this Ti GH.

Here's my current kit. Nothing fancy.
Here's the case. It's a good fit, and the price is right, but I don't like that it has the big logo on it. I just put a piece of black duck tape over it.

The tubes are from empty pre-rolled cone papers at my local shop. One for herb, and the other contains a pick tool and a small brush. The pick tool came with Focus vape, and the brush is just a generic paint brush cut down to size. The shammy cloth is from an eyeglass kit.
I use a Nitecore D4 to charge at home, and have never used the USB charger other than to check that it worked.

It's not really well glued, you can unglue it easily with a little screwdriver, that's what I did

I thought about prying it off but was worried it would reveal a big mess of adhesive.It's not really well glued, you can unglue it easily with a little screwdriver, that's what I did

don't worry about that, this glue is really easy to remove, I removed the big part with my nails and then a little bit of alcohol for finishing!

Ima noob here. I feel like the kid in class that's been paying attention but too nervous to raise their hand...I'm raising my hand.
I want to jump on board with the GH but am wondering if anyone out there can actually vouch for its worthiness based on the ungodly neverlandish wait times. I have a Pax 2 and vapcap and am actually stoked but the quickness of being able to hit and run and at the same time have quality hits sounds pretty sweet with the GH. I'm sure these have been answered but dont have time to read it all..
Are the hits really that thick and potent?
Can you really use just a small amount efficiently?
can it get you elevated quicker than most vapes?
Does it smell like say the pax when hot?
Is it easy to load unload?
Cleaning easy?
Just seems crazy to have to wait so long but if it's worth it its worth it..
Thanks for any info here this place is very awesome and has single handedly busted combustion for me...15 years comin.

So I've had my hopper back for about a week and a half. It's back to working order!
I really do quite like this vape as a Session vape or at least as close to it that the Hopper can provide. Just steadily move from the lower temps up to the higher over about 10 minutes or so is dandy. Certainly controls the amount of vapour hitting the throat as well. I've only come to notice recently due to having used it almost all the time with a water piece for a while.
Had some fun on my bike recently, just have it in my pocket/bag ready to go. So much easier to carry than my Arizer solo.
Basically I love my hopper now that it's back!

Don't wait until you see it or for them to post it on their website, wait until it is reported over and over and over again that it has happened to real people to make sure.

The grasshopper is definitely worth the wait, I have a pax2 also, very different vaping experience, I'm glad I had both but if I had to choose only one it would be a GH 2.
I just ordered a FF2, it's going to be infested at my place.
One thing that I've come to appreciate since the GH is the device analogy. When I was primarily a smoker I preferred joints and spliffs so it's no surprise I like the grasshopper, where the pax2 is more like a cigar and Firefly more like a bowl. And although I don't often smoke "cigars or bowls", I do like them and glad i have them around even though I normally use the grasshopper m

I completely understand the demand for the GH. It is the most desirable (for me) vape that i have come across. I've been using a Pax 1 since inception and haven't seen a 'real' need to upgrade since (for my simple needs).
I did order a GH last month and I am eager to receive it. My 'projected' ship date is August which imo is a long while to wait! Should this thing really require 17 months to ship (13 months longer than projected)....I will really be unhappy.
While I understand that the indegogo pre orders were long delayed....I'd certainly hope (and expect) that Hopper Labs has gotten their proverbial 'act' together by now. This looks like a great product and I am an eager beaver.

The lights are not supposed to blink only right before it dies, it begins blinking way before that. The speed increases as the battery drops.
From the manual "As it discharges, the lights will begin to flash blue with increasing intensity."
This is a normal function and it begins right away, it isn't supposed to wait until the battery is about to die. This can be confirmed with HL, which I have already done.

I watched this now some batteries. When mine starts with this fast, light blue flickering it actually stops if i try wiggle around the back end. There is no noticeable clearence at the back end but it has some effect on the flickering.
Now i believe that some people don't see this early flickering on their hoppers. Maybe that really has to do with a bad contact of the battery and varies due to the tolerances of the body length. But i don't bother. As long as it works as it should (and doesn't have hot back end or massive battery consumption) I won't contact HL. I even like that my device shows me that it is running out of juice a little bit earlier.
I'm looking forward to get my Ti-preorder for a comparison...
