It was not my intent to scare anyone and I apologize if that happened. I would still vape in public, I was just trying to let people know it’s not exactly legal and discretion is advised. I should have been more clear on that front.
And I never used the term criminal/crime. A civil infraction is still a legal issue.
Legal - “of or relating to law.”

Not normal at all. Shouldn't take more than 45 min.Hey,
How long does it take to charge a battery ? I’ve had the first charging at around 3am, now it’s 8am, still blinking red.
Normal ?
Great...
Tried a new battery, which I think should be full, also blinking red.
Any ideas? Suggestions?

Sorry to hear. I think the only way to know for sure is to try an external charger, like Nitecore

The Hopper has a very short vapor path. This is great as far as cleaning goes but it does result in a hot mouthpiece. As has been mentioned, let it cool down between hits. When at home I prefer to use glass, either a simple J-hook or a bubbler. When out and about I find that stretching a silicone drip tip over the PFE works well; slice it back a bit to enlarge the opening.
Still figuring this one out...
About the heat - yes, silicon piece helps and I’ll cut the opening thanks for the idea!
I found this today and bought it for on the go water piece it’s like the zapubler but I’m not sure about the principle of how it works and a bit scared it would spill on me ( how do I add a picture here ? )

When my internal charger worked it was very particular about how tight the backend was screwed on. It would flash red and never charge if it was too tight or too loose.
That’s what I’m thinking as well. Now I’m trying to find that sweet spot

Was just going to comment on the charger but yes its a piece of shit, need to have everything screwed on the right tightness and rotated the right way .... I got 2 faulty chargers before I got a working one but I always use a external charger from Xtar ... but the magnetic one I use when I am sitting by the computer and can leave the hopper charging
Took me a year to start using it and then I had gotten 2 faulty ones, I only use mine when I am sitting by the PC for long time, if it sits still while charging it normally does charge but sad because I wanna have it with a powerbank and leave the hopper charging in my "stash bag"
So wait...if it’s blinking red every 4-5 secs then it’s not charging ?
Now I have to buy a charger ?

but yes a external charger is really worth it !it can charge any size LI ION batteries so that is a +
I got Xtar for 4 batteries and Xtar ANT that takes a single one (also is about the size of their charger but external)

It’s a relatively small cost for great convenience. Easy to get on Amazon

Wondering if your light is very faint on the charger?, then you might have a faulty one like I had, but then again tightness and positioning of the magnet is important, though the newest one I have charges perfect every time ... Just slow
Also just like I recommend to everyone that got the PFE! Check out Ecigg shops for their 510 sized vape tips because they loosely fit into the PFE and long wooden tips give a nice cool vapor

One recurring solution mentioned here is to unplug the 'far' end of the charge cable from its usb adapter, and plug back in. This can correct the failure to charge condition you are describing.

It’s possible your charger has a short. The correct charging indication is a flash of red every four seconds. If it’s faster, slower or erratic you probably have a short in the charger cable.

Good day, After a loooonggg wait in RMA, from January to the end of May. I think my Hopper is dying again. It just doesn't hit quite the same anymore compared from when I first purchased it. Now as of yesterday It comes on solid red for 2 seconds then nothing. Battery is fully charged and I even switched batteries. Anyone experienced this before or can give me the page number to a solution? I just know I'm not waiting til Thanksgiving for another one.

You can try to compress air the thing.... other than that, open an RMA :-(.

Thanks brother I will give that a try, but if that doesn't work back to the good ol' crafty, No more RMA for me.
45 minutes may be right with an older battery that has lost some of its capacity, but not with a newer battery and the Hopper charger.
I just drained a brand new GHB2 battery (13 1/2 "activations" for anyone keeping count), and it took over 90 minutes to charge back to full capacity. I've observed similar charge times with other new batteries.

Sent this in response to HL telling me they're out of SS back ends after telling me they'd repair my unit immediately upon receiving it:
"Why would you not tell me that before I shipped my unit? Wtf?"
Drew said the next day (28th):
"I'm sorry, you're right. We will get you something figured out and get your Hopper fixed and shipped today."
But of course it didn't ship and I've heard nothing since.
