If I didn't have back-up options and wasn't going to spend an amount on one product instead of these two finicky hoppers, I couldn't justify getting them, but that wasn't the case. I find my time without the GH frustrating, but only because I've been enlightened to a different lifestyle with it, one that I can't see how I could replicate with any other product. Owning the GH has fundamentally changed how I view vaping and how I view cannabis, it's caused me to smoke a lot less and get a lot higher in some extremely remote areas. And I enjoy cannabis more than ever. Hoppering has surpassed my satisfaction for nicotine infused bong hits,
Exactly. The grasshoppper was the first vape that I actually used long enough to break it. Well that's not exactly true, It is the first vape I used after the novelty off and the first vape to make me a "Vaporist". My primary consumption method pre-grasshopper was smoking, bong, joint, DEFINITELY spliffs, and that was two years into owning a pax and a firefly.
I will also say, of all my vapes, the ONLY vape friends who smoke have ever been like "oh shit" or "fuck i'm high" or "I've got to get one of these" followed by them actually doing it is the grasshoppper. A friend came over and was talking about how she hates hanging with her client because she always wants to pax and she said I guess I'll just sit here and not get high, same girl then took a huge rip of my grasshopper with a bong and was like yeah the pax and vaping is bullshit but this is cool.
From my experience with other vapes, I could see why someone who prefers the pax may not even like the grasshopper, it's truly a unique experience and one that I prefer and I think many GH owners end up with this conclusion.
I found the OG pax and firefly novel, and I'd use the occasionally and when they did break, I would take my time about warranty because who cares, I didn't "need" them.
The grasshopper became my favorite and preferred method of consuming almost right away. And perhaps is not quite to say i've become a vaporist, certainly, the grasshopper has made me or interested in vaping, and I've since gotten serious bouts of VAS resulting in a mivape, vivape2, firefly 2, pax2 Elo, and Davinci IQ that I can remember buying, let alone all the products I get to try as I work in the industry. I even tried e-cigs for tobaco.
It turns out i'm more of a "hopper" than a vaporist, I never got into e-cigs though I smoke less cigs than I used too because I'd rather hit the grasshopper then I forget about it. The other vapes I've bought and tried, i've enjoyed, some more than others and I quite like the IQ for vaping spliffs but for cannabis only and for 99% of the time I'm consuming it, the grasshopper is my go to.
Let me try to understand. The GH is so great you need to buy 2, and ideally 3 so you will have one to use when you have to send the others in for their monthly or bi-monthly RMA. They get so hot you need a silicone condom to save your lips from being vaped or a glass bubbler while using the GH as the heat source. So for around $200.00 you get an undependable vaporizer that looks like a thick ballpoint pen, gets hot when vaping, has sketchy operation, constant need to be repaired, and unreliable availablity. And this is great why?
You don't need 2 but you'll want 2, see above.
You don't need the silicone, some people do, I NEVER use it
You don't need a bubbler but why not. I almost always use mine native but i appreciate the versatility
It doesn't look like a thick pen, it looks like a fucking pen.
And it's great because, although every single vape i've owned except for the vivape2 has had QC issues, and most of those vapes are hardly ever used. I hadn't used my firefly2 for a few months and got some concentrates, I can't even describe how it's not working, I had half a mind to just throw it in the garbage till I remember it cost almost as much as 2 grasshoppers. I'lll warranty it and sell it at some point but I'm very off the Firefly train .... sorry tangent
on my SS, from red to blue, cold to hot, the very first time, heating time is always around 6-12 seconds (more if really cold, like outside winter cold), then from warm to hot 4-7 seconds
on my Ti, between 6' and 10' the first time, then 2'-5'
You?
All that fanboy stuff said above, I would say you have a problem, anything longer than 5 seconds unless it's like temp 5 and a very weak battery is indication of a problem. The problem could just be the battery but heads up that warm up time is waaay too long
