MightyQuestion for you all... if the Grasshopper never existed, which portable would be your go-to?

That's a good question, because nothing really offers what the Grasshopper does, as far as speed, stealth, and size. It's not even my favorite portable, but it fills a spot no other vape can for me just yet.Question for you all... if the Grasshopper never existed, which portable would be your go-to?

Question for you all... if the Grasshopper never existed, which portable
I purchased the performance front end a day or so after it cam out. At first I was in love with it. But after about a month, the front end got clogged. I soaked it in alcohol and that helpedal but it didn't take long to get clogged again. To make matter worst, it doesn't appear that you can remove the screen. So I switched back to the normal mouth piece because you can remove the screen for a better cleaning. Anybody else experience this?
PFEs have been fine for me and less troublesome to clean. I got 2 and swap them every morning. One comes out of the glass vial of 99% ISO and giets rinsed and dried and installed on GH and the one coming of the Hopper goes into the glass vial.
They always stay perfectly clean this way! (I was cleaning my standard mouthpieces this way as well but they were much more of a pain to clean)

My Sticky Bricks and VapCaps are fast and have great performance, but they are not stealthy at all. There's no way I could use them in a movie theater, for example, and the Grasshopper is great for that.
I would say maybe the Milaana or Firewood but they are not as small or stealthy as the hopper is.
I ended up taking advantage of the one cent shipping sale, I've been putting off buying batteries for far too long. The sale basically gave me a free battery so it made sense. I also picked up a SS PFE. I think I might leave the PFE attached to my SS and use it primarily at home and with water, and I will use my Ti with OG mouthpiece primarily on the go. I usually take my Ti on the go already because of the lighter weight.
My order shipped today, in just over 24 hours. If I hadn't ordered so late at night it probably would have shipped in less than 24 hours. I'll cut them a little slack since it technically shipped the next day, which makes this the first time for me that Hopper Labs has successfully shipped within their estimated time frame. Progress!
With increased communication from Hopper Labs, true on-demand shipping, and possible improved reliability it might be time for one of those hopper orgies soon!

But everytime you pop in here you see notable people like @biohacker mention they prefer the Mighty.
How is the solo 2 your favourite if you haven't used it?To be clear, the GH (4 of them) replaced 2 Mighty's. It was great while it lasted, but the reliability leaves much to be desired. So until that changes....and I don't care about their "promises of improvement" - I need solid evidence without being a guinea pig (again), I will stand by the Mighty (and Crafty) as well as my Solo 2 as being my favourite portables at this point.
When the evidence changes, i'll change. IMO save yourself the grief and go with the double barrel mightys!

What is the #1 power user option do you think?
It would not even be an overly bulky package to strap two togeather and set it on your knee in my mind with a Y adapter and whip going into some glass. A Hopper would be a lot more unstable this way without spending more on the water tool adapter. In the end a hopper gonna cost me more than a Mighty initally.

I'm also a big fan@rodders83: I forgot to mention the Supreme V3 which is probably about as powerful as it gets. I haven't used one myself but it's definitely on my VAS wishlist. @biohacker is a pretty big fan if I'm not mistaken.
Besides the fast heat up time, the small size is probably my favorite part about the Grasshopper. My pockets usually have more stuff in them than I would prefer in the first place, even a smallish vape like a Crafty or Milaana would be much more noticeable in my pocket than the Grasshopper is. It's so small I often forget it's in my pocket.In need of a real stealthy and portable unit , I take the risk and I buy a hopper before they raise their price couple months ago.
If you're talking pure power, and obviously true portability isn't a huge concern if you're talking about duct taping two Mightys together (), I would recommend the HydroBrick. It outperforms my Grasshopper and even my Evo, and you can't beat its reliability. The only thing that can fail is the glass and screen, and those are easily user replaceable and reasonably priced as well. Buy a couple backups if you think you will need them, and if anything fails you are ready to go again almost instantly, no warranty service necessary.
The Sticky Brick Junior hits almost as hard, and is more portable.
It's hard to recommend the Grasshopper to international customers right now, especially if it costs as much as a Mighty. It does seem reliability is improving quite a bit but it's too soon to tell for sure in my opinion.
@biohacker you are the man to decide for me i think you have tried them all!
Thanks man, I definitely haven't tried them all but i've been addicted to this hobby and VAS for a decade with too much disposable income!
You NEED the Supreme v3...but consider its form factor and if that works for you. There is a double barrel version out now too which may be suitable for your needs (overkill for me), so come join us in the thread!
Last October I got a free GHB2 when I sent my Ti Grasshopper in for its first RMA. That lone GHB2 has been serving me well as my GHB1s have degraded to the point I can only get one chamber per charge. The GHB2 is still giving me two chambers per charge, and it seems to give better extraction performance too.Either way, Am I the only one who has received something for free from Hopper Labs?
Any consensus on whether their claims of improved reliability on newer units is actually true?
Has anyone who has recently received a NEW unit had to send it back?
