Maybe ask someone who has recently bought a TI Hopper from HL directly what number his unit has.

"I know there are a lot that favour micro-dosing and consuming smaller amounts, but I find for my situation and medical needs, 1.5-3g per day, or the equivalent in concentrates is what I require to stay balanced, productive, healthy, and happy. Over the last 15-20 years, this is always where I balance out. Less is not as effective, and disaster soon follows, and more just wastes.
To consume 1.5-3g @.075 per bowl, that would be 20-40 bowls per day ... that is a lot of packing/unpacking to do!!!!! At any rate, a response that suggests that I may find I need less, suggests to me that this would likely not be a vape for me
"
Damn , Boy , excuse , didn't know you need such a lot ! My average is 0.2/0.3 per day , about 8 grams per 1 month. Maybe a little more when I had my Grasshopper , but anyway not more than 0.5 ...In your case yes , you need something more capient , I agree.

Yes, a compressed air can. I occasionally blow mine out.... take out battery and blow out battery area, take off PFE and blow out bowl, then blow air into each of the air holes.
That seems to eliminate a lot of dust that you can’t get out otherwise. I don’t do it often, but only occasionally (no set schedule).

Good question and there are probably many different answers. Personally, I just don't care to rub my good fortune in anyone else's face. With so many dissatisfied users it would feel like gloating.

This^, I'm definitely not here to gloat, and although I lurk this thread quite a lot, I rarely post as I have little to report except to say that my early Hopper (004XXX) is still going strong.
I've never even registered it (yet).
I'm not attempting to defend HL , the Hopper or say anything about failure rates.
I'm just reporting my single 'data point' FYI.

I felt the same way with my Ti GH working wonderfully and consistently for 18 months....then it died. That really ain't too bad though the RMA repair process was a bit of a cock-up and required a Mulligan.
But I do know a guy who has 24 RMAs with GH. He posted a pic of his My Hopper page that shows them all. That's extreme, but multiple RMAs and RMA returns that either don't work right (my case) or quickly fail again (many cases) are here to be seen.
Have a great day, folks

compressed air contains a bitterant that may be toxic if inhaled, I would not use that on a vape's heater or chamber as I asked this question to the forum for myself before and was scared off from ever doing that... @Rel2018

Oof you can try burning it off but I don't know more than what I said. You can try to find my original question for more resource but what's done is done... Sorry dude
I've been meaning to send my hopper in for a new replacement but hasn't seemed like it is the right time to do so yet. Haven't used it in months maybe even almost a year now
I hoping Hopper Labs aren't in too much trouble. . . The significant number of promotional emails I've had from them over the last month or so might suggest a cash flow issue?
I'm hoping they survive and eventually sort this product out. For their own benefit as well as that of all the vaporists out there. Fingers crossed for everyone involved

I emailed them this morning about the shipping time on the spare body I ordered. They responded in less than 5 minutes with an email explaining everything for me and that it would be shipped out this week. So lets see if they hold to that. but with the speed at which they answered my email, I was pleased.

got my hopper back last week, been working pretty good and specially after cleaning threads
feel though like this forum never changes so lets hope it will moving forward with better hopper bodies and happy customers
otherwise I been re-listening to Beastieboys after 15 years and funny that they have a song called "grasshopper unit"

Hi everyone how are you all. I received my replacement hopper today and it's very different from my first one. I can clearly see the blue screen with the 3 blobs and a the temp sensor behind the silver screen. it also doesn't feature the one click on from auto shut off. The temp dail is completely smooth on this one my last unit would unscrew the backend while trying to adjust the temp. I think It's definatly old stock as the back end is in the early 5000s just a few less than my rma unit.
The performance seems great very dark abv at 5 and nice thick vapour at 3.
I have noticed that the ghb2 that came with the unit is a lighter colour than my spares but more alarmingly it has like a dirt under the wrapping as if it wasn't cleaned properly before wrapping. At least I'm hoping that's what as I'm worried it's leaked and started to corrode from being in the unit in the box for so long. I done a few burn offs and took a few hits before i took the battery out and seen it. So at least I know it's working okay. Do you folks think I should send the battery back I mean if it's just a dirt I'm fine with it. Sorry for the long post

Replacement body coming Friday. Really really disappointed at the way things turned out. It could have been amazing.

PayPal has finally decided the case in my favor and refunded me for the electric blue hopper. I've officially got nothing ordered with HL anymore

just celebrated 2 years with my Hopper yesterday!
i've been lucky enough to have never experienced any problems with this device since the day i got it. it's been my daily driver and has performed flawlessly. i want people to know that there are 100% functioning Hoppers out there in the wild and inject some positive feedback into this thread. i'm hoping in another year i can report back here with the same good news because i absolutely love this thing and would love to see this company work out their issues and make others as happy as they've made me.

I too celebrated two years a couple of weeks ago. I actually posted something about it on reddit in response to some of the bitching.
Unfortunately, last week I got the flashing lights issue. I avoided posting about my success because I didn’t want to jinx it. I am really sad, because this is truly an amazing vape. I just hope that they can get it back to the reliability that I have enjoyed and get others to that reliability; and the company can have success. They have been so close to that tipping point for all these years. It seems like there are a bunch of two year success stories, so I don’t know what went so well with that batch l, but hopefully with the recent changes that Hopper labs has done that they will make many more reliable devices.
I haven’t sent it in yet, bc it seems like there are really long RMAs and I am trying to decide if I should just get a replacement body and send it in the future. I would just hate to go from what has been a reliable device to the frustrations that others have experienced. Any thoughts here?
I really hope that you do get another year out of yours. I also hope that I am hopping again soon with a reliable device. It was a crazy long wait to get it, but it was totally worth it and I hope that I can get back to hopping reliabily soon.
The only good thing about this is that I am finally getting use out of my Heat Island vape which I got last year, but due to the ease of use of the GH, I haven’t used it that much. It is another great vape!
