Old & In the Way
Having a second (currently!) working hopper gives me option to try it out and/or swap parts for go/no-go scenarios. The V1.0 charger I have been using does fine with the working (currently!) SS piece, but not with the troublesome recent Ti piece.Wow, Vapviking, that's a discouraging bit of history there. Regarding your latest travails, given all the problems people have had with V1.0 chargers, is it possible that your old charger has coincidentally chosen this time to fail and it's the charger that needs to be replaced?
I'm guessing we'll see the October Update this weekend.
Having the extra working (currently!) hopper has been truly helpful in alleviating the ???wtf??? more than once along the way.
After consulting my in-house Department of Redundancy Department, I broke out a brand new charger, V1.0 that was still in box from when I got them all in early August. Same thing, works for one hopper but not this new Ti bodied, purple-lighted hopper. Wife calls it hot pink, btw. We often call 'em different when color is the topic...She thinks there are two led's in there and maybe both on at the same time, giving this pink/purple/lavendar color. idk.
I came up with an option I'm considering for going forward. If this becomes too frustrating (still a good ways from that, I am a patient s.o.b., uh, sometimes) I'll put them all in time-locked vault for, say, a year. When they see the light of day again HL will either be belly up or replace at that time with some perfected devices.
If they did not, when they work, work so really, really, really well, then I might just...
Edit:
And in a counter-intuitive throw-money-at-it moment I wonder if I should get a couple of GHB2's to try out...gonna need them soon anyway. Yeah, right! Buy something, that's the ticket!
