They plan on increasing the price?
Yes they are. My guess is that it'll happen once orders can be shipped more instantaneously rather than having to wait 2 or more months for someone to receive their order.

GH also hasn't officially confirmed how much more their units will be priced at in the future.

Yup! $230 for the SS, $285 for the Ti and $300 for colored Ti's will be announced at the next update

Totally ridiculous!!! A product should cost more when it's rolled out and less the longer it is offered as production costs go down, bugs are worked out, and R&D money is recouped. I can understand offering a discount for beta testers/early backers/etc but the GH is being offered for sale on the website with no notice that we are purchasing beta units. I think GH will shot themselves in the foot if they raise prices a $100.

I thought that was the plan all along? :huh: :shrug: Anyways I suspect you'll see it retailing at those prices on their website, if/when they get it into online retailer sites you'll probably see it for less. Arizer Solo MSRP is $224 on the Arizer site, $229 on puffitup, and then $160 also on puffitup but with a code on the front page of the Solo page, and I heard he even price matches lower prices than that. You may see different price points a few weeks/months after it gets into retailers' hands.

One of their points was to "crush the market" with a reasonably priced unit, so I can't see them raising prices $100. Maybe $20-$50 ?
I feel like 200 for the SS, 250 for Ti, and 265 for the colors(don't know how expensive anodization is, but I don't feel the color makes it significantly better, it feels more like an affectation than real value, 15 extra actually seems like too much to me) would be fair.

Going by most other vapes.... prices always drop as the novelty wears of.
I certainly will not be buying one until reliable vendors are selling them, meaning they are ready for retail and bugs the worked out.
I'll only buy the GH the same way, from a reliable vendor and with a discount code. Personally at $135 is too much for it now.

$135 for this is very very reasonable. I understand that's your opinion but less than that is very unrealistic. This is a niche item in a niche market using no off-the-shelf parts.

Exactly this. When "vape pens" (shitty ecig parts modded a hair) first starting getting real popular before even the most clueless consumer realized they're all the same crap from China they were pricing them as high as $200. $135 for this thing is a STEAL unless the videos we have seen simply aren't real lol.

Has anyone had issues with their shipping address not being recognized during the ordering process? I tried to contact GH, but have yet to receive a response. I tried my address with and without the building and apt numbers and couldn't get anything to go through. I'm gonna be pissed if they raise the price before I can get my order in. ;)

Supposedly they will give you a chance to change your address when it is ready to ship, so you could theoretically plug in something that DOES work, or even have it sent to your post office for pickup, rather than your home address. (I read about that to get around crappy mail delivery, but I'm certainly no aficionado on how to do it, or I'd include instructions)

Just email customer service, they'll take care of you - it'll help if you tell them a list of what you were ordering and your shipping information so they can build a paypal invoice for you. I'm sure they won't make you pay full price for this vape.

Right now I'm torn - do I order a titanium GH now before the price hike to save myself a few $$, or do I wait and see how much I like the SS GH, and then pay full price for a TI willingly when the time comes in an effort to support these guys (Small Businesses FTW!). I think I'll hold off for now and see what happens in 6-12 months.

Who knows, maybe we'll see that Locust model next year :rolleyes:

So you'd pay $135 for a one hitter? Basically skimming through the comments this is the best idea I have about the GH. Hey if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

I had the same issue last month when I pre-ordered, just email trevor@grasshoppervape.com and he will take your order manually, probably.

I'd pay that much for a one hitter with a really nice hand carved dugout...but onehitter and dugout were my favorite smoking utensils :/ I miss my old dugout intensely, not having a use for it and having to pass it on were the worst thing about quitting smoking
