This feels wrong in so many ways to me, can't help but laugh about it.
Think about adopting this customer and manufactor behaviour for the car industry.
"I hope my new electric Volkswagen will have an engine fail soon, so I can get the newest version which hopefully performs stable."
Hard to imagine this will ever work out as a success when customers already hoping for fails
Also posted in the Shipping Poll thread, giving it a shot here as well:
Is there anyone who would be willing to switch places in the waiting line for their Grasshopper? In the spirit of Christmas!
4. Use an aftermarket charger. The performance went through the roof when I got my nitegear.
i've oredered the Grasshopper today, you say i'll get it in 6 month from now?
Used it with a bubbler. First three hits on 3 - 3.3. Really nice and flavourful with nearly no visible vapes.
Dialing on 4,5 - 5. Three long draws around 20 sec. Nice clouds but not so dense as expected. But now have serious difficulties with typing *fatgrin*

My Vaposhop SS model had a slight metallic aftertaste, when I finally got my preorder Ti it did not have the same taste. I thought it was because of the materials used.Is it normally that the SS leaves a hint of metallic aftertaste in the beginning of use?
Hopefully yours wears off. Mine was very subtle but it never went away until the new body.Thanks VE! After three loads it is faintly sensible. Lets wait for cleaning.
My 2nd Hopper (Dark grey) landed. It is a back-up for the plain Ti which is currently in warranty.
I like the mate finish very much, nice to the touch and a nice contrast to the stainless steel clipper! Most photos really don't do justice to the dark grey, it is beautiful.
The new charger was already in the box, charges like it should. No hot back-end issue on the hopper. And no metallic taste, even on the first bowl I tried without burn off or cleaning the unit before use.
Some might remember I didn't enjoy the taste of the plain Ti I had before. I had some metallic flakes in the air intake and i would guess those caused the weird taste I experienced. It was barely visible when looking with a flash light in the air intake holes. I hope the plain Ti replacement is as good as the current dark grey I got...
Edit: serial is already over 6000 if this might help someone. The blue heater is clearly visible. And I couldn't believe it myself but the anodizing seems to be cooler to the lips somehow!
I had some black flakes or manufacturing remains in the air intake when the hopper was new. I managed to get most of the metallic flakes out with a wooden toothpick and by sucking on the air holes, but it might be some of this mysterious material remained in the hopper causing the strange taste. I can't define the taste exactly, I would describe as bitter. When I smell on the hot device there is some metallic smell I can detect with my nose very clearly from the air intake if this makes sense.
You're welcome, but I can't let my memory take all of the credit, I'm just good with the search tool.@Vapor_Eyes: Thank you very much, Sir, Grandmaster of thread's memory!

Then my SS body failed and I had it replaced. The replacement body has no metallic aftertaste.
That doesn't mean you have a bad body, mine lasted four months before I had any issues.

I also found at least one report of someone having a subtle metallic flavor that went away after a few days. Hopefully that will be the case for you.
Perhaps your palate is more sensitive than mine, and all Grasshoppers have that taste at first.
Make sure to update us if the flavor goes away.
@Hogni I had a bit of metallic taste first pull out off the hopper, without any material just right out of the box that just got from the mail box
I did an little iso clean with q-tip and don't remember tasting that again.
I got two other things on my mind after couple of days of use, first is that I marked one battery as "under performaning" because it always fails to fully cook my material, second question is if it's suppose to be just a screen in the mouth piece or also a little cone thing?
Wondering if my hopper is missing a part or?
Very nice, Steph! A well-appointed set of necessities for a great case... add a small square of unused Blu Tack; it will come in handy.
Where did you get the half-doobs?
I've just cut the tubes in half
Several members have ordered from this seller with good results: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Grasshopper-V...EW-LIFETIME-WARRANTY-/222329327818?nav=SEARCHOh, yyyouuu. I love the fact that I'd never even thought of that. Wow I feel so dumb but I'm laughing about it so it's all good.
Does anyone know if there are there any distributors selling Hoppers in the USA that can get one here before Xmas? I'm thinking to get one for someone but if it's too tight a situation I'll just giftcard the order somehow.

I was thinking the same. Buying the Hopper in the US for much less money than in Germany and a friend of mine would have had bring it along to me to Germany. But after reading about so much issues with the Hopper, warranty case after ......
EDIT: Sorry, forget this post. It was a misunderstanding!
I've been alternating my SS and Ti since I got them and I think at this point I can say that I prefer my SS. For me, the extra weight translates to a more solid feel and the threads are so much smoother. I have not noticed any differences in performance between the two. But I'm willing to bet that the fun I'm having is blurring whatever differences there might be. Who can remember from day to day?I will sound a complete idiot here, since I only own two Ti's... and I know lots of you have posted about the differences between Ti and SS... Would you say the SS is "just as great" as the Ti - and I mean performance, heat at the backend, etc.?..
