Discontinued The Grasshopper

Hi everybody.

My toughest dilemma is when I leave the house I have to decide whether I pack the SS or TI hopper in my kit.

You're welcome to call me a shill. I doubt it would hold up though, I purchase anything that looks good. I still am getting a grasshopper for all my reservations.

But that's not a negative for all users.

I have a screen and basket with my minivap. That's why I like it. You can disassemble all parts that have potential to get dirty easy. You don't have to but you can. I removed my bottom screen for a cleaning. Completely unnecessary, but gave me peace of mind.
The pax vaporizer for example. I hate it. I hate that vaporizer so much. I saw someone use one in front of me and I was so thoroughly unimpressed with that vaporizer.

This isn't to say my minivap is perfect. I complained about where is version 2.0 forever after I bought it. I didn't even have a specific complaint, I just wanted better, which they did deliver.
I feel like as a consumer, unless I complain, companies will not make their products better.

Now that the WPA tool is almost here I can test this for myself.

I'd be happier if I knew they were working on mitigating common issues people experience.

Out of all the dozen vaps I have had I still maintain that the Minivap was the most potent, I just can`t handle the LONG pre air priming of it just kills my guts. Apart from that it was fairly economical and easy cleaning, maybe a bit big (Solo on steroids) but a damn potent one shame about that long draw before the cloud production.

My GH's landed at HL on monday, and I just received updates about them. So I think it took 1 day longer than usual. Perfectly acceptable to me. Now is the part that I hate....the length of time they sit on them and test them before they are sent out.... probably won't be sent out this week, which means I won't have them next week either. Basically if you live in Canada and need an RMA for your GH, you will be without a working hopper for a month.

Fortunately my Supreme 3 is making me forget about the hopper. Something the EVO and Herbie could not do.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention that Caroline is alive!! Well, according to the RMA message portal anyways...as of 7:30am today :D

This time my hoppers were instantly fixed and straight to testing stage! lol Me thinks that I will be getting two new bodies.. and now it's just too bad that I can't purchase that cool WPA to throw in my return order :( Maybe i'll ask Caroline anyway :brow:

The new quick charge units are great but ya it does take a little priming for sure I don't care what people say. I think the minivap is enough now that it has a quick charge. The grasshopper is my luxury vape. Something I can take out easily without needing to think about packing it. There is no way I can just grab my minivap I need to pack it. Grasshopper I just need a lot of extra batteries. I want to use the grasshopper for nature walks. So it's definitely filling a niche I don't think any other vaporizer does for me.

I just want it to improve faster :-)

well my hopper is going back for repair or replacement , gonna miss it . love the way i can just take like three rips on it and be done . but it has stopped charging . is there any concern with sending it across the border from canada to the states ? if i just give the end piece a soak in iso and wipe the chamber a bit with q tip and a bit of iso will that suffice ?

So, I can now say I've joined the dual hopper hit club, aka, 2 hoppers through a water pipe with a Y adapter. WOW! That combo packs one hell of a punch.
Click to expand...
That's something I would like compared to an EVO/sub/sup.
I really want my RMA and two WPAs already !

I miss the extra kick and I've been fiending so my tolerance could use it

Yeah a quick clean doing that is enough.
It could just be your charger that's stopped working, you could use an external charger in the mean time.

I just realised maybe my first RMA replacement and my 2nd GH are not SS like advertised but Ti?

Is there a way to tell? My box says Ti but AusVapes list it as SS?

Picture is hard to take. Left is definitely a SS MP. I just assumed GHL stopped buffing the SS.

If the box indicates that it is Ti there is a pretty good chance it is a Ti! I found the Ti to show fingerprints and smudges big time, compared to the SS. And the Ti has a slightly different colour/look and even feel to it. It's also definitely lighter, but you probably don't have a SS to compare it to I assume.

What does the backend serial number start with GS or GT???

You can weigh the components separately. I'm getting around 4.5g for Ti front end, 6.3 for SS front end, 16g Ti body, 22g SS body. Back ends are marked with a serial number, starting with GT=Ti and GS=SS.

The color is different ... so if the SS clip matches the rest, the whole thing is SS, if it doesn't match, then it's a Ti hopper.

The clip bit you mean the whole thing right? Definitely see a difference on that area.

E: both B/E are GT. My original purchase was GS!

Actually makes my 2nd GH purchase worth more. I believe AV still sell at $299AUD. Which is currently cheaper than GHL by $25USD!!!

GHL sent Ti stock by accident or trying to reduce failure rate with a vendor? (Conspiracy theories)

Hello All!:wave:

As promised here is a video using my new Ti Grasshopper with the new Grasshopper 14mm WPA (which is absolutely awesome and I totally recommend!) through my peyote pillar. :rockon:

Freshly charged GB2 battery on my favorite temp, #3 (338F....I l'm a flavor chaser :shrug: what can I say).
Let me take this opportunity to apologize. I was pretty lit off of some black and blue dream. I promise I will do better videos and use higher temps so you all can truly see what the Grasshopper is capable of through water..

I was ripping chambers through the water pipe when I remembered to remember that I promised you all a WPA video and here it is. I hope you all enjoy. I promise to get some better videos at higher temps.

P.S. The WPA is absolutely amazing!

Hey there!

Was wondering where you got those vials/tubes in your video. Could you please let me know when you get a free moment? Thanks!

Not even sure this is worth posting but I'm going to anyway (arrived in my inbox today):

Grasshopper Grasshopper Mail
New HT Hoppers, Feb News, Blogs and More.


February marked the finish line for pre-orders and the start of on-demand shipping! Grasshoppers are now finally available within a few days of placing an order. If you have not received your pre-ordered Grasshopper please check your spam folder for an address confirmation or contact support and they will help expedite your order. We have a few surprises in store, and of course, the long-awaited water pipe adapter will start shipping this month.

Today, we have released another set of Heat Treated (HT) Grasshoppers. The first batches sold out quick so if you're interested in grabbing one of these unique units, be sure to check them out here. Ships tomorrow.





If you haven't already, please check out our new blog where you can find tips and tricks, maintenance advice and other Hopper related information. You can submit ideas or guest posts for consideration to blog@grasshoppervape.com.





The WPA allows for you to adapt your Grasshopper to almost any piece of glass. Natively designed to fit into a 14mm downstem, it provides a new level of performance and production. Matching threads allow for the WPA to seamlessly attach to the front of your Hopper. A precision machined finish, and 10 to 1 taper provide a perfect seal with your existing glass. It will come in all of our standard finishes. We will also offer a 14mm to 18mm adapter so you can use the WPA with any water pipe you choose.

Sorry bro, when I said "you" I mean HL! :)

No worries bud, I figured that was the case. :D

Been waiting on that WPA myself, not sure how much of a difference it is going to make in regards to my Hopper experience but I am so very very curious.

Should be available by the third promised deadline, maybe the fourth, possibly the fifth or maybe never. :shrug:

We are not surprised anymore. You lied last month. Boy who cried wolf. Again. :bang:

maybe we will be surprised, if they ship WPAs this month!

That line was the most interesting thing in the update IMO, my jaw might fall if they do come out with a power adapter. Anything else might be surprising but probably not impressive.

Things they need to do: WPA release, SS case/oils front-end apology/reimbursement/delivery

Things they should do: bring forth ancient promises (from their initial investment campaign no less) before making vague claims, and rehashing past sentiments that they have already failed on within 4 weeks. Get them right, or explain why and then get it right, HL. sheesh

I have seen a few different shades of Ti bodies, and I think I remember someone complaining about a contrasting patina on their replacement SS body too.

However, are you saying the back-end on your SS hopper reads GTxxxxxx because that's a score (or a weight off your EDC and maybe nothing else)

What I am confused by mostly, is you are mentioning AusVapes, but they don't even list Ti hoppers for sale?

I had a friend asking me about getting a hopper, if you can get the Ti from AusVapes for 299 that's not bad.
I am probably going to talk him into getting a sublimator for 480 though, because I want to use it ;)
I'd totally get it myself if I had the spare cash :(

--
speaking of spending money,
I just stumbled on this one, the Night/Day Grasshopper feeder
A very cool option for those with access to known genetics herb - indica and sativa predominant per side, flip and choose.
These feeders are a great way to fill the GH out in public too, totally discreet

These guys have really expanded their vape accessories range, this will also be of interest to quite a few hopper heads with bad charger taste ;)
This for those who like tech specs

Wishful thinking....i'd like that almost as much as an electric Supreme! A PA for the GH would be a massive game changer for me, as I really don't even use the GH much as a portable anyway.
Click to expand...
Haha I am always guilty of that!

But yes, it would be a massive game changer and isn't stretching the imagination too far.
I would be very surprised, but they mentioned that not me :p

An electric supreme I'd be all over too. That seems to be a good bet for an induction source. Why not with a mains plug, right?

Hey there @hervboo, welcome to FC :)
I believe the tubes you are questioning are "doob tubes". There are a few different styles available, I'm not sure which ones are best, but most will work well with the hopper.
They are commonly available from head shops or smoke stores, a quick google should be able to bring some up in your area.
Some people have cut them in half to fit them in pen cases and the like with the GH. They look to be a good way to fill on the go. I'd also recommend checking out the GH feeder I linked above for that too :)
